#120 - Change the trajectory of destiny!
Early November.
Auckland City welcomed its first heavy snow.
“Woo…”
The cold wind was like a crying night owl, shaking the bare branches, and carrying goose-feather snow flying all over the sky.
The old butler, Gronk, drove the carriage quickly forward.
Inside the carriage, Zorn admired the delightful snow scene outside for a moment, then pulled up the car window curtain.
The destination of this trip was the diversion point of the diversion proposal proposed by Zorn.
Yesterday, the [Torasque Steam Train] arrived at the Steam City Station on the south side of Auckland City.
Today.
The [Torasque Steam Train] should arrive in Auckland.
After several days of reports in the Auckland Steam Daily.
The [Torasque Steam Train] is really a terrible taboo disaster that can destroy Auckland City.
Inside the carriage.
Zorn quietly felt the harvest of the brand-new intensity of "Fighting Source Matter" now.
A few days ago.
Zorn successfully captured Red Horse and Silver Horse.
After accepting these two Level 4 peak transcendents as his "Subordinates."
Those transcendents under their command, as well as their Mafia members, also did not escape the fate of being captured by Zorn.
Red Horse had 11 transcendents under his command, plus more than two hundred ordinary people.
Silver Horse was about the same.
After Zorn captured them, he gave each of them 10 Dark Shadow Sequence Crystal Nuclei to cultivate a new batch of transcendents.
These days.
With the birth of many Dark Shadow Sequences.
Zorn clearly felt that the transcendents deeply controlled by the "Evil Spirit Authority" after expanding the intensity through the [Spiritual Domain] were more effective than the superficially influenced witches.
Deep control is equivalent to using skills to fight in depth, and the amount of "Fighting Source Matter" obtained is large and thick.
The superficial influence on the witches is a light battle, and the source matter obtained is less.
The two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
The anchoring of the two Horse BOSS subordinates, plus the birth of dozens of transcendents, has increased Zorn's acquisition of fighting source matter by as much as 30% to 40%.
Zorn estimated that he would be able to advance to Level 5 around the beginning of spring next year.
If… this plan is successful.
Then, Zorn will be able to advance to Level 5 this winter.
This time, the [Torasque Steam Train] incident.
Zorn's proposed plan will most likely be completed.
Once completed.
Then… the underground of Auckland City will become a new disaster area.
And the "Disaster Area" is the key resource for Zorn to leverage the Calamity Black Mist and promote the growth of the [Spiritual Domain].
Re-anchoring a higher-intensity "Calamity Ritual" in it.
Then.
The [Torasque Steam Train] will become the new hotbed for [Evil Spirit Warlock] Zorn Corrick.
Moreover, the [Torasque Steam Train] incident will also have a wonderful linkage effect with the steam ash mist in Auckland City.
It will cause a batch of "Bewildered Ones" to appear in the depths of the sewer.
Even these Bewildered Ones will continue to be strengthened and become a new version of "Bewildered Passengers."
Bewildered Passengers will wander in the sewer. After encountering other people in the sewer, these Bewildered Ones will guide them to the underground steam train station.
And that Chuckman Blazer Cardinal will preach there, making them new "Bewildered Passengers."
These Bewildered Passengers need to be cleaned up regularly, otherwise this pollution will continue to expand.
But for Zorn, this polluted environment and stronger Bewildered Passengers are the cultivation and growth environment he urgently needs.
Before long, the carriage stopped, and the voice of the [Knight] old butler rang out.
“Young Master Zorn, we're here.”
Getting out of the carriage, Zorn saw twenty or thirty people standing on the hill not far away.
Climbing the hill, the wide wilderness and river unfolded before him like a beautiful epic scroll.
The originally straight steam train tracks were diverted into a huge arc, leading to the sloping underground in the distance.
All preparations are ready.
The [Torasque Steam Train] will arrive at any time.
Whether to divert or follow the original trajectory.
No one can be 100% sure.
Even Zorn dare not guarantee 100%. After all, there is also a certain probability that it will run on the original track trajectory.
A terrible disaster trial hangs like a Sword of Damocles over everyone's heads.
In the crowd, Zorn looked calm and natural.
Before long, a quiet figure quietly approached Zorn.
“Madam Mabel, good morning!”
Zorn immediately took off his hat slightly and saluted.
At this time, Madam Mabel was already promoted to Level 6 and became a middle-level transcendent.
Level 6.
Also means that she has officially entered the core layer of power in Auckland City.
Her eyes swept over Zorn, watching the goose feather-like snow constantly falling on Zorn's woven top hat and shoulders.
Madam Mabel gently helped Zorn brush away the snow with her handkerchief, and then patted it slightly.
A layer of hazy shadow quickly appeared, helping Zorn block the falling snow.
Although fighters are powerful, in terms of many magical methods, they are obviously not as good as those secret and magical sequence professions.
In the early stage, at the levels of Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5, when everyone is still mostly engaged in contact combat, fighters who are good at head-on confrontation will appear powerful.
After entering the middle stage.
When strange methods, powerful spells, and forbidden powers are gradually mastered by transcendents.
[Fighters] will be rubbed on the ground by many powerful mid- and late-stage sequences.
“The day before yesterday night, Christopher, the [Shadow Warlock], a genius transcendent that Auckland City has been focusing on cultivating recently, died.”
Madam Mabel stated in a very calm voice.
Hearing this, Zorn's eyebrows moved slightly.
Zorn doesn't know which transcendents Auckland City is specifically cultivating.
But Zorn knows that Auckland City has been secretly cultivating transcendents.
In different versions, some extremely talented transcendent geniuses will always be refreshed.
Even some extremely talented transcendent geniuses will become powerful legends in the future.
Obviously, this [Shadow Warlock] has good strength and talent.
“How did he die?”
Zorn asked in a low voice.
“He lost control. A shadow demon was born from the distortion within his body, corroding his shadow sequence. A massive shadow outline filled the room, dragging his corpse as it slaughtered all the servants in the manor, and then waited for us to clean up the mess.”
“Someone must have guided the distortion of the shadow sequence.”
Zorn made a straightforward judgment.
“And to achieve this, one would need to be at least of mid-level power.”
“Moreover, the person must be an extremely skilled shadow master.”
“Indeed.”
Mrs. Mabel nodded slightly.
“Was it… the work of the 【Harvester】 sequence?”
Zorn asked tentatively.
“It's not entirely certain yet, but it's highly likely.”
“But regardless, it seems that the enemy is trying to attack us.”
Mabel's voice contained a hint of controlled anger.
“At the same time, in the past two days, several transcendent individuals with mentor characteristics in Augran City have been subjected to varying degrees of pursuit.”
The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!
“The assassin mentor, Roseanne, whom you sparred with, also encountered a mysterious level 6 expert and two mysterious level 5 experts ambushing him in the gray mist.”
“Fortunately, he had already advanced to level 6 before me, which allowed him to escape safely.”
Hearing this, Zorn couldn't help but feel a bit more apprehensive.
If the Holy Sun Church is truly cooperating with the 【Harvester】, then his current situation is quite precarious.
“You… how are things on your end?”
Mrs. Mabel gradually suppressed the anger in her heart and asked Zorn softly.
“Someone is secretly monitoring me. They even conducted some probing, but they realized they couldn't bypass my surveillance methods, so they didn't force their way in.”
“Then… should you enter the underground ancient ruins area to hide for a while?”
Mrs. Mabel asked.
“Yes!”
Without much thought, Zorn nodded readily in agreement.
Although Zorn had regained a chance to revive, bringing him to a level of 3/5.
But even with a full state of 5/5 revivals.
There's no need to risk his life outside waiting to be revived.
You should know that neither the 【Harvester】 nor the 【Holy Sun Church】 are benevolent.
Given Zorn's previous actions of making Duke Mu Huo lose face and causing the Bishop to make a wasted trip.
They would definitely dare to send a level 6 expert to besiege and kill Zorn.
There's absolutely no problem in seeking refuge in the treasure land.
Moreover.
The intermediate treasure quest on the sixth floor is nearing completion, and the seventh floor is also under development.
By staying inside for a while longer, Zorn can obtain the 【Ancient God Incantation】 that only lower-level beings can acquire.
A heavy snowstorm howled and surged in the cold wind.
As everyone waited.
“Woo… woo…”
A low and extremely penetrating, elegant whistle sounded, approaching from afar.
Clang… clang… clang…
The rhythmic sound of mechanical transmission intertwined with the whistle, creating the most visually powerful scene of this era.
In the constantly spewing and surging steam mist.
A strange steam train, much larger than ordinary steam trains, appeared faintly on the plains' rails.
The 【Tarasque Steam Train】 has arrived.
Instantly, many people on the hill tightened their expressions, staring intently at the rapidly approaching 【Tarasque Steam Train】, carrying terrifying polluting power.
Even if snowflakes landed on their faces, everyone didn't care at this moment.
The 【Tarasque Steam Train】 seemed to be a convergence point of the world.
“Woo… woo…”
The whistle roared, and the steam mist surged.
Under everyone's gaze.
The 【Tarasque Steam Train】 seemed to flicker hazily several times in succession before quickly approaching the diverted area.
Then.
The 【Tarasque Steam Train】 seemed to possess some kind of magical probing power.
It continued along the original straight trajectory of the steam train tracks, speeding all the way forward.
Even though the original tracks had been dismantled and the trajectory had been buried.
The 【Tarasque Steam Train】 seemed to be traveling along the historical trajectory, constantly advancing.
Instantly, disappointment, regret, sighs, and many other emotions spread and grew.
“So, it still doesn't work?”
“This… can it still run without tracks?”
“That's a polluted steam train. It's said that ordinary people and transcendent individuals who go on it will die, so it can't be speculated with common sense.”
“The diversion plan doesn't seem to work, alas…”
“Now, the great pollution of Augran City is coming, which will be even more serious than before.”
The sound of private discussions rose and fell, and many people even turned their gazes toward Zorn.
The young nobleman's proposal did not change the trajectory of the 【Tarasque Steam Train】 and did not save Augran City.
Although there had been some expectations before, in the end, there was more disappointment.
“Woo… woo…”
The 【Tarasque Steam Train】, which was gradually moving away, emitted a heavy whistle.
Suddenly, the 【Tarasque Steam Train】 seemed to flash back and reappeared at the crossroads of fate.
Immediately afterward, the 【Tarasque Steam Train】 followed the diverted trajectory.
Toward the direction of the plan formulated by Zorn, although slowly, it steadily drove away.
This sudden scene was as if the strings of fate had been plucked.
Making many onlookers stunned.
Many people even rubbed their eyes, afraid that they had seen wrong.
“This… what's going on?”
“It's back again?”
“Is this… diverted?”
“Wasn't it already driving away?”
“Can it be like this?”
“This 【Tarasque Steam Train】 indeed cannot be speculated with common sense.”
The people who were originally drooping their heads in disappointment, at this moment, looked excitedly at the diverted 【Tarasque Steam Train】 in the distance.
Astonishment, surprise, and even one or two cheers quickly bloomed on this small hill.
In the corner of the crowd.
Zorn stood quietly.
Feeling the gazes converging from everyone, he didn't pay any attention.
“Well… the plan, inadvertently, succeeded again!”
Zorn just silently pondered.
A portion of the trajectory of Augran City's fate, in his hands, was silently rewritten again!
Compared to the previous few trajectory changes.
This time, the change of the "new version" will be very beneficial to him.
