Holding breath, Curt quietly approached the underground building not far away, trying to get a glimpse of how many magicians were inside and then decide on the next move.

As long as there is a little noise in the closed underground space, it will continue to spread in the circular wall until it is impossible to distinguish the distance from the source of the sound. However, Curt could not hear any footsteps, and there was no movement except for the sound of speaking from time to time in the hall in front of him.

I found that my enemies did not seem to be chasing me, and neither the monsters nor the magicians dressed in blood-red robe showed up. Perhaps it was because I thought that the underground facilities were already their stronghold, and even if someone dared to intervene, they would be caught soon; it was also possible that even they were unwilling to mingle with these addicts who were addicted to "scented incense". In any case, they never chased me.

This allowed Curt to easily slip into the underground space occupied by Sein Democra's men, and there were lights flashing on both sides of the road. These light bulbs wrapped in a layer of metal mesh seemed to connect the electricity in the city, but they had not been replaced for a while.

To be honest, if there were only the "halls" underground in the city where magicians stayed, then Curt would not be surprised by what he saw. After all, drug abuse has long been no news. Since a long time ago, all kinds of people have mistakenly taken drugs for their own purposes.

Perhaps they chose to use these dangerous things if they thought these drugs could bring their bodies or spirits to the level they wanted. Curt could not understand their thoughts, nor did he know whether they would get what they wanted in the end, but he had not heard that even a person who abused drugs could end up with a good end - they and everything they cherished were destroyed by the misfortune that followed.

If there is anything worth paying attention to, it seems that something is wrong with the object. In the past, all the drug abusers he saw were almost ordinary people, and the drugs they used were often provided by illegal sorcerers - and those who used strange sorcerers here were all sorcerers without exception.

The more you move towards the inside of the passage, the more "halls" Curt sees... A rough calculation shows that there are at least a hundred magicians left here. This is not a small number. After all, even the talent dispatching agency usually only has a magician in the book working. Even if spell education has become much popular in recent years, a hundred magicians will be a force that must be paid attention to in the city.

However, Curt could not see what kind of power these magicians had, because the door that sealed the entrance to the hall was too heavy, and even a bug could not fly in. There were only a few unclear mine lamps providing lighting in the tightly enclosed space.

The spells who stayed in the hall did not notice Curt's existence at all. They devoted themselves to preparing to "suck incense". They were wearing long robes and lay in groups on the simple cloth, and several figures who could not see clearly placed huge jars next to the spell.

It seems that they are jars containing "spices", but they all look cheap and there is no unnecessary decoration on their bodies. They don't know where these clay pots with different shapes come from. The crude workmanship makes their shapes look crooked.

However, the things contained in them are absolutely valuable. Although Curt had never seen what real "spices" look like, Grosted said that these things are absolutely illegal drugs in the Dominion, so they have long been hyped up to sky-high prices in the underground market.

The Dominion of Osatalia does not produce raw materials for such drugs. Therefore, it is said that the "spices" recently circulated in the black market are all smuggled from the northern continent. Just as Grosted and others were worried about such chaos, Sein Democra caused chaos.

Looking from a distance, a small candle was lit on the jars in the hall, and the smoke covering the hall was floating out of the jars. It was similar to what Liqi said, these special drugs extracted with some herbs will rise with strange-colored smoke under the action of the flames.

Soon, the spells were immersed in the wonderful "aromatherapy". The people who arranged spice jars were very sensible and exited the hall from the other side of the door. Looking at the spells wandering outside the sky in a lot of smoke. Looking at the simple path made of steel and concrete, Curt couldn't help but sigh that there were two different worlds on both sides of the door, but he did not intend to enter inside and say hello to them.

After all, the city's underground network is quite vast, and its complexity can be seen only from the authentic tunnels built at the academy. In addition to the sewers that are still expanding, there are roads connecting several blocks together, and even complex fortifications.

The Dominion of Osatalia seems to have a tradition of building underground buildings since the late colonial era. Although at that time, only some prominent families dug out vaults and family cemeteries in the territory, many of the buildings left at that time still make people sigh at the craftsmen at that time.

Perhaps because of the existence of these underground buildings, Katris still has legends about these things - whether it is an unknown underground trading ground or a vault where people can swim, all kinds of stories that are not true or false are circulated in people's mouths.

In the era when the war broke out before, such a "tradition" seemed to have become increasingly inflated. It is said that in order to defend against the enemy occupying the city, some leaders also led the construction of fortresses and secret passages underground, trying to resist the "possible" enemies.

Unfortunately, these preventive facilities were completely useless. Because the enemy had no intention of attacking the Dominion of Osatalia from the beginning. Their eyes did not seem to be on this "distant land" far away from the old continent, but only set off war on the old continent.

No matter what the reason is, the war did not affect the Dominion, so it can be said that it is natural that underground facilities with almost no meaning of existence were also stopped. However, the underground buildings that have been established were not demolished, after all, the expenses were too high. The Governor's Office could only choose to close them, hoping to be put into use again as part of other projects in the future.

What they thought at that time was unknown, but Curt was sure they had absolutely no intention of leaving these underground buildings for the magicians led by Sein Democra as experimental sites. The seals pulled down by the town hall could be seen everywhere in the space connected by the sewer. Unfortunately, the latest one was left several years ago - and it was carefully taken down.

Obviously, it is telling others that someone has been here, but even if someone else has occupied the nest for several years, it will not be known to the city hall. If the worst case is to be considered, it is possible that the departments that manage this area will be infiltrated by the sorcerers under Sein Democra.

The ice is not cold for a day. Sein Democra keeps working hard for this plan, and even if it successfully corrodes some of the people in the city hall, it will not be surprising.

If you think about it carefully, this is not an impossible result - the Eye of True Vision once belonged to the Ultramarine faction, and before the war, this group also had a certain degree of influence in the Dominion of Osatalia. Although they have lost the glory they had in the past, Sein Democra, who was parasitized in the remaining part of them, cleverly used their obsession to develop their own power.

But when Curt hid in the shadow and continued to move forward, and finally sneaked into the deeper part of the underground facility, what appeared in front of him really left him speechless. I am afraid that even if the Katris Town Hall had never stopped developing, it might not have been able to free up funds to build such an underground facility - I don't know when it was transformed into a huge research institution here.

Large stacks of documents are displayed on bookshelf, and several precision instruments that cannot be named are stored next to the metal flow table. Many people have worked here not long ago, and the products of the experiment are displayed casually on the work table.

Those so-called "finished products" seem to be parts removed from human bodies, mainly internal organs. They are soaked one by one in a dull solution, and the blood oozing out from them still maintains a bright color... as if telling Cotter that they have just been taken off.

"It's so crazy... how long did that guy plan for this plan?" Looking at the underground fortifications around him that had been transformed into a spell studio, Curt couldn't help but sigh, "What are you talking about for a few months... This is absolutely impossible. Do those guys in the True Eye don't even know here."

These things in front of me are definitely not structures that can be completed within a year, but Sein Democra's subordinates use this place as their stronghold. Obviously, they had known that there was such a place and had conducted experiments here for quite a long time.

The experiment has been going on for a long time, and it has continued until not long ago. Slots were transported into the darkness of the city, and here they were used as materials for magic experiments by the magicians - and what was extracted from their mountain of flesh and blood was the "chaotic bloodline".

"Of course they don't know the existence here, because they are just a less important part of the group, and my status is higher than them." It seems to be to answer the question raised by Curt inadvertently, a man's voice suddenly appeared in the silent space.

Almost in an instant, a light suddenly flashed in the dead studio, and then a powerful magic power that could not be ignored appeared in front of Curt. (To be continued.)
