Chapter 216: Remnants of Imperial Law

s and other plants forming a strange and beautiful landscape alongside the buildings."I already said, I've got the travel guide all figured out. Even if we lose, it's still worth playing here! Look, r...When building warships, Lu Cheng often listened to Master Lu's tales of the Spring and Autumn period. I hope readers remember our domain name here.

For example, when discussing esoteric techniques, Lu Cheng once questioned whether the legend recorded in "Liezi·Tangwen" was true.

It is said that during the Warring States period, King Mu of Zhou was a romantic emperor who loved to travel and enjoy nature. Legend has it that after he rode his eight steeds westward to meet the Queen Mother of the West, on his way back home, he encountered a strange man, a skilled craftsman who claimed to be an artisan from Luoyang.

...and this person created a fake man so realistic that it could sing, dance, and even seduce the king's concubines, making the ladies feel hearts aflutter.

King Mu was furious and prepared to kill him. He stepped forward and took apart the seductive-looking dummy, revealing inside only simple wood, leather, and varnish.

King Mu was astonished and praised the craftsmanship of the fake person.

This is the art of making mechanical devices used in warfare.

And Lu Ban told Lu Cheng that at the time, both he and Mozi's disciples had separately informed them of this news. The two were astonished because it was simply beyond human capability.

However, during his time in the Ghost City, Master Lu also mastered the power of ghosts, but he never tried it.

At that time, the two discussed souls, magic, and mechanisms.

Lu Cheng had completely mastered the method of combining spell cards with mechanism cards. Looking at the wreckage of the [Golem] and [Sentinel] before him.......

They used to really be individual wizard cards.

Card makers truly forged machines with flesh and blood, souls, creating legends, creating everything.......

Once I truly understand it, maybe I can build [gold elixir] mechanisms in the future.

.......

The core area of the Magic City also hides a large number of magic-mechanical card decks. Even without a Card Master's operation, they can automatically fight back, though their abilities will be significantly reduced.

After the apostles were counter-summoned, it was almost impossible for the Theocracy to occupy the entire territory of the Magic City. The Theocracy's garrison also knew this, and they only operated in Zone XC. In the afternoon, the Theocratic forces in Zone XC were also planning to retreat.

The Sorcerer's Tower has already fallen. Staying here is pointless.

Lu Cheng and Fara spent a whole day gathering the remaining troops, these soldiers were the main force in the counter-attack.

"Up ahead is the remains of the Mage Tower," Fara turned her head and said.

Lu Cheng nodded, he hadn't approached yet, but he could already feel a massive surge of corrupted energy. It was likely left behind by the Apostle.

"Miss, this is the

th one."

"Card number 36, [Armor Golem]......and card number 714, [Magic Wing].......". Fana's feather pen floated beside her, carefully recording.

"

To power all of these, our energy is far too insufficient. We must go to the ruins of the Mage Tower and find the Emperor's Magic Remnants to provide energy for these cards.

"

"Mhm!" Fana also nodded. If it wasn't for Lu Cheng, she would have been dead long ago. Besides, in this situation, she really had no other choice and was very obedient along the way.

"I once went to the 【Land of Sunrise】 and observed the dome up close. It was very tough to crack, and it must be protecting something there. When the time comes, the Wings and the Wizard Guild should all land there...." Lu Cheng said.

"Huh" Farah turned back, puzzled. "Shouldn't we keep the Winged Guardian to deal with [Sindragosa] That's a legendary dragon card; it'll be on the battlefield eventually too, right"

Lu Cheng was taken aback. She would indeed appear on the battlefield, but not in the image she had imagined.

........

Two people walked into the wreckage.

This is the main battleground, the environment is severely damaged. What was once a beautiful garden now teems with violent energy, and expensive [Magic Crystals] are scattered everywhere.

These are all the belongings of a super-powered mage, truly good stuff. Lu Cheng collected a small amount that could be used, they can be used to summon stronger Terracotta Warriors or used to create magic mechanisms.

When Lu Cheng was collecting materials, Farah stood in one place, lost in thought. When Lu Cheng finished collecting and went to find her, she was still there.

"Miss, what are you doing" Lu Cheng asked.

"Ah....... " Fanna turned her head: "Uncle Brito died here, I should give him a simple tombstone......"

Lu Cheng discovered that the young lady had laid out a deck of playing card flowers, but they were rapidly wilting under the onslaught of the intensifying negative energy.

Lu Cheng also walked over.

At least we met once. It's certain I have to send you off individually. Lu Cheng bowed and picked up the flower Miss had placed.

"《{Yin Qi}》 《{White Flower}》 Card Synthesis!"

Lu Cheng put the flowers down contentedly.

Although it looks more sinister, at least it is no longer rapidly withering under the influence of deteriorating energy.

"Huh, who does this one belong to" Lu Cheng noticed there was another flower not far away.

"Oh, you know, this place used to be a memorial for a hero. He gave his life to save thousands in this battle. He was about my age, you know." Fana said softly. "His story really inspired me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made it this far."

Lu Cheng stood respectfully.

Only those who have fought with their lives know how precious life is. Since they are heroes, they have preserved so much of their vitality, which is certainly worthy of respect.

Lu Cheng walked over, picked up the flower, and made another one.

"Heroes, rest in peace!" He bowed.

“If I hadn’t been saved by you, I would have been a hero too,” Farah suddenly laughed.

Lu Cheng gave her a glance.

Always thinking about being glorious, a hero **, you still owe me 5W6. Can you be a hero...!

.......

Li Cheng and Farah dug in the ruins for half a day.

The top of the mage's tower had long since collapsed, and the apostle's strike was enough to destroy everything. It was impossible to tell what remained.

But Fan Na still found the remnants of Emperor's Fa with her own ability!

This is something that can supply energy to an over-dimensional card master!

Gold shimmered among the ruins, but Lu Cheng was stumped. He wasn't a magic card master after all; he could handle ordinary magic cards, but this...he didn't have the capacity for something like this.

If you mess it up, and cause a magical riot, then people could be in serious danger.

"Miss, can you handle this" Lu Cheng turned his head and asked.

"Well."

Fana crouched on the ground, taking off her necklace and transforming it into a card. Then, in the ruins, tiny golden lights slowly poured into it. Lu Cheng felt a surge of immense magic power!

I'm going.

Missed it!

This little rich girl's jade necklace on her neck isn't a jade necklace at all! With this capacity, it couldn't possibly be made of jade!

waited quietly for half an hour.

Fana slowly got up, but her steps seemed unsteady. Lu Cheng quickly stepped forward to help her.

"Ugh, I didn't expect so much corrupted energy mixed in..." Fana sighed.

Lu Cheng quickly glanced at her, a dark aura surrounding her that refused to dissipate. "Wow, this girl is really serious!"

Quickly throw the 【evil energy】 onto her.

Fana let out a soft sigh and shivered. The black aura began to dissipate.

Lu Cheng frowned and said, "You still have wounds on your body, it's very likely to be infected again. Don't you value your life"

Fana shook her head.

"My life is nowhere near as important as the Mage Tower. I failed to protect it.......Besides, if it weren't for you, I would be dead by now. Now that I have a chance to make amends, of course I'll do everything in my power."

Lu Cheng twitched his lips. Actually, if this chick had called him just now, using [Yin Qi] to clear a small area wouldn't be much of a difficult task.

"Mr. Devil, take a look, is this what you wanted"

Fana handed the necklace to Lu Cheng, it was still warm with the remnants of a girl's touch.t of energy, the original mechanism's golden core couldn't hold out for long, exploding after only ten minutes."You've been tinkering for ages, what have you come up with" Lu Ban squinted.To be honest...
