Many people find it difficult to understand why Zhou Ming rejected the Lucis family's marriage, and why did he make the situation worse and lead to a large-scale war?

The first reason is that he personally does not want to get married and does not want to be bound by marriage and family anymore.

The second reason is that the aristocratic faction in the empire was too strong, which was a huge unstable factor. Zhou Ming had to think of a way to weaken the aristocratic faction.

In particular, the strength of the Lucis family was weakened.

Zhou Ming didn't really hope that there was a force in the Orunian Empire that could challenge his authority. He wanted the world to bow down and no one dared to be arrogant and presumptuous... In this way, no matter what he wanted to do, no one questioned in his ears and made a whispering voice.

He wanted to be cleansed.

After some operations, the power of the noble faction shrank by half, and the Lucis family was in a slump, with less than half of the original territory. It was impossible to recover after thirty or fifty years.

However, Zhou Ming's attention was no longer here at this time.

His energy was mainly focused on another matter.

The encounter of Conan Cecil.

He has been sent to the headquarters of the Blue Hand Guild for more than half a year. What has happened to him?

Is there any ulterior motive that happened to him?

Through communicating with Conan, he was in good condition and was not in danger for the time being.

But based on various clues, Zhou Ming also basically determined that the danger is approaching Conan.

What dangers?

The danger of acting as a "purifier".

In the past six months, Conan entered a closed magic academy. The type of magic that he studied every day was not the power of blue, but another kind of magic called "The Power of Ghost Red".

"The power of the ghost red" is similar to "The power of the darkness". It is a kind of magic power with negative energy attributes. Its attack power is comparable to that of the power of the blue, but it is strongly corrosive. On the spiritual level, it is easy to cause the warlock to fall into the so-called "demonic path", becoming cruel and easy to kill, sinister and vicious.

The power of the ghost red is also the main type of power that erodes the "Blue Power" of the Magic Net.

The magic academy that Conan Institute entered not only conducted in-depth research on the "Ghost Red Power", but also introduced the Ghost Red Power through special methods to form a spiritual array for the students to practice.

After the recent theoretical course of Conan, he will also enter the "cultivation room" to practice the so-called "light red power".

So far.

Zhou Ming finally understood what was the purpose of the Blue Hand actively collecting those "self-connected people"?

Purify the magic net.

Yes, the purpose of the Blue Hand is to purify the magic net.

However, the purification method adopted by Canglan Hand is completely opposite to what Zhou Ming thought of.

Zhou Ming's method is to clear the blue power in the magic net, and to import all the blue power into the material surface, so that the pollution source "Ghost Red Power" can be left behind, and then find a way to clear it.

The method adopted by the Blue Hand is to import the Blue Power in the material surface into the Magic Net as much as possible, and then use some methods to import the pollution source "Ghost Red Power" into the material plane, and to achieve purification of the Magic Net at the cost of contamination of the material plane.

Although the two methods have the same goals, the specific implementation methods are completely different and completely opposite.

So that method would be better?

Zhou Ming must think his method is better, because the material plane is not polluted, and in the energy layer, it can be more convenient to reconstruct a new magic net far away from the source of pollution, and will no longer be affected by the "power of the ghost red".

Where is the blue hand?

They must feel that their methods are better. Although the blue power on the material side will enter a "Dharma-Ending Age" for a period of time after being exhausted, as long as the magic net is purified, the power of the Blue Moon Continent will develop again and usher in new glory!

The price after completing purification is that the material plane is polluted by the "power of dark red".

Of course, since the amount of "Ghost Red Power" is not very large, the degree of pollution should be within an acceptable range.

But in Zhou Ming's eyes, this method of purifying the magic net can only be described in two words: stupidity.

Extremely stupid!

This clearly treats the material plane as a "trash dump", contaminating the material plane that was not polluted, so that the sorcerers who were able to practice normally would be exposed to a mixed environment of the two powers, seriously affecting the sorcerers' practice.

The most terrifying consequence is that once the concentration of "Ghost Red Power" is high, a large number of "Demon Sect" sorcerers who practice Ghost Red Power may appear on the plane of the blue moon. The Demon Sect sorcerers are generally bloodthirsty and cruel, and do all kinds of evil. If the number continues to increase, it will lead to "evil cannot defeat the righteous".

Finally, the entire Blue Moon plane was put into a state of endless doom.

Zhou Ming has seen such phenomena in other planes, and there are more than one case. He naturally knows that the Blue Hand has taken a detour.

There is also a last question: The Blue Hand wants to purify the magic net by transferring "pollution" to the material surface, but why do they search for the so-called "self-connected persons" everywhere and join this purification plan?

Is there any difference between self-connection?

Of course there are differences.

And the advantages are very obvious.

Because compared with ordinary "purifiers", the average efficiency of self-connected persons with extremely high talent transmitting "Ghost Red Power" from the magic net is 2 to 5 times that of ordinary purifiers.

The time you stay awake every day is 1 to 3 times that of ordinary purifiers.

As for survival life, most self-connected purifiers can survive for about 10 years.

Ordinary purifiers can only live for two or three years at most under the erosion of the power of the ghost red.

Therefore, from the perspective of comprehensive purification efficiency, one self-connected person is approximately equivalent to 100 ordinary purifiers.

But even so, with the number of about 10 self-consecutors born in the continent every year, even if the Blue Hand collects all of them, it is only equivalent to 1,000 ordinary purifiers. This number of people requires the task of purifying the magic net, and I don’t know that I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and Horse Month.

If you want to speed up the purification efficiency, it is better to recruit more ordinary purifiers. There is no need to collect the self-company members and consume them as cannon fodder.

But what really killed the self-sected people was their outstanding talent.

Because the senior management of the Blue Hand discovered that if the self-reliant person could survive ten years under the erosion of the power of the ghost red, he would not only not die, but would also completely fall into a "demon", with a lifespan of more than ten thousand years, and the transmission efficiency increased by a hundred times, and the purification efficiency would skyrocket!

There are currently more than 20 "demons" like this, the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain of the Blue Hand Guild, with an extremely high purification ability.

Therefore, the purpose of the senior management of Canglan Hand actively searching for the self-connected person is to hope that the "demons" in the forbidden area of ​​the back mountain can add more heads and complete the purification of the magic net as soon as possible.

This is why Zhou Ming was particularly excited when he noticed that he existed in Carlossnari after connecting to the Magic Net. Because with Zhou Ming's talent, if he devoted himself to the magic net purification work, Carlossnari felt that he had a chance of becoming a "demon".

So Karoshisnari couldn't wait to send an elite team to the Orunian Empire, trying every means to find his whereabouts.

"Ma Dan, the extremely talented self-sponsor, has become the top purification tool in the eyes of the Blue Hand?"

"They are so fucking good at playing."

Zhou Ming, who understood everything, shook his head.

...

On the other side.

After the six-month key training is over.

Conan Cecil, who had no idea what would happen, was sent to a heavily guarded cave.

Then my eyes went dark and I was slapped out with a palm.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on a cold stone bed, with heavy chains and iron handcuffs on his hands and feet, and there was no possibility of breaking free.

And immediately embarked on his painful journey.

His soul string connection point slowly shifted to the end of the magic net in President Carlosnari's extremely anticipated gaze, entered the source of pollution, and connected to the "Power of Ghost Red".

The red power, which is extremely corrosive to the soul and the body, is poured into Conan's body through the soul string.

"ah!"

"Ah! It hurts so much! It's so itchy!"

"Save me, come and save me!"

Conan rolled wildly, making an extremely shrill scream, stirring back and forth in the cave.
Chapter completed!
