Versatile Mage: Heavy Water Overwhelms the World

"Hello, Mr. Zhu!"

"Good morning, President Ye!"

The three people in Nanyi said hello one after another.

The two people in front of them would stomp their feet a little, and the whole Lucheng city would tremble. Even Ma Wenguang was extremely respectful after meeting Mr. Zhu, as if he was a junior.

There is no way, no matter in terms of status or age, Mr. Zhu can afford it.

"Haha, are you here?" Mr. Zhu smiled kindly, his old but powerful eyes swept across the three of them, and finally stopped on Nan Yi.

Everyone also noticed Mr. Zhu's gaze on Nan Yi and kept silent. Nan Yi knew that Mr. Zhu's goal was Zhu Rong, so he naturally did not reject him.

Although he has many secrets, Mr. Zhu has seen them from the beginning.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while.

After a while, Mr. Zhu looked back. In addition to kindness, there was also emotion and doubt in his eyes.

What is emotional is that what their generation failed to accomplish, even though they sacrificed the lives of countless fellow soldiers, was actually accomplished by this too young student in front of them.

Although both he and Old Man Hai had anticipated this situation and even alerted the military department, when he really sensed the aura of Zhu Rong on Nan Yi, he still couldn't help but sigh.

At least the sacrifices of the previous people were not in vain. Although it was a little late, it was successful after all.

What a terrible future!

But what he was confused about was Zhu Rong himself.

As an old man who has witnessed two major historical changes, he has been to Zhurong Hall before, more than once.

But Zhurong Palace had never been opened before, and they had never seen Lei Ling, let alone the gatekeeper. The feeling was far less intense and straightforward than it was now.

Unlike Nan Yi or even Zhu Ji and Lin Zhenguo, the realm he was in allowed him to see more things, but the more he did this, the more confused he became.

What he saw was that Zhu Rong chose to take an extremely decisive path.

This is a path that leads to no results from the very beginning!

Going to Zhurong was obviously a path he chose after he had reached the peak of the flames and could be said to be worthy of being called the God of Fire.

Zhu Rong completely abandoned the ultimate pursuit, and instead pursued the so-called eternal life, pursuing a path similar to the golden mean and the harmony of yin and yang.

This is Mr. Zhu's understanding of Zhu Rong, and also his confusion.

Because this almost 180-degree U-turn is an extremely scary thing.

Even for an ordinary mage, it is difficult to change one's own magical path at will. The stronger the strength, the more so.

Not to mention Zhu Rong...

That is the God of Fire who has almost reached the end of fire!

It's so difficult to turn around, and it's such a complete U-turn, it's like trying to turn around with a fully loaded truck on the highway with full power.

This is not gambling, let alone risking one's life, but risking death...

This was a failure destined from the beginning.

Zhu Rong must be aware of this, but Zhu Rong still did it, and he did it so thoroughly, leaving no way out for himself, and even planned everything after his death.

This makes it clear that Zhu Rong is not doing these things for himself, so what is Zhu Rong's motivation?

What could make Zhu Rongdu so desperate and desperate enough to make such a decision.

This determination that spanned tens of millions of years made Mr. Zhu feel a cold feeling on his back for a moment.

Most of the existences of Zhu Rong's era have completely disappeared, even cleaner than the later totem era, leaving only a few legends.

There are traces of the demise of totems, but what about the myths that went forward? Why did they die? Was it internal or external troubles?

Mr. Zhu didn't want to, but he had to think of the latter.

"Ugh"

After letting out a complicated sigh that no one understood, Mr. Zhu returned to his normal look again.

"I'm calling you this time mainly for two things." Mr. Zhu's face was still kind: "The first one is about Hengshan."

Nan Yi understood in his heart and nodded. Chu Qingxuan and Ma Wenguang on the side saw that Mr. Zhu had no intention of letting them retreat, so they also nodded with serious expressions on their faces.

"Nanyi, you have done a good job in this matter. You have done something we failed to do back then, and you have also given the country more confidence."

Mr. Zhu's slightly solemn look made Nan Yi a little unbearable for a while, but he did not interrupt Mr. Zhu's words.

"You should all know that we tried many times at Zhurong Peak, but they all failed. But do you know the reason behind it?"

"Isn't it because of Zhu Rong's inheritance?" Nan Yi asked doubtfully. This was what he heard from Jiang Shaojun before.

Mr. Zhu smiled and shook his head.

"Before today, no one in this world knew what was in Zhurong Palace. We might try it once, but we will never fail countless times with unknown results. This is not the style of the military, but the attitude of the military. The irresponsibility of the people behind us.”

Zhu Lao's words completely exceeded Nan Yi's expectations. They were not for Zhu Rong's inheritance!

So what is the official purpose?

Nan Yi unconsciously thought of Zhu Lao's last words.

For the people.

Reminiscent of Ye Lan's previous assumptions, Nan Yi seemed to realize something for a moment.

Mr. Zhu also saw Nan Yi's reaction and continued talking.

"Once Hengshan is successfully captured, we can truly connect the north and south of Lucheng Yangcheng. The magical heritage of the two cities, combined with the resources and geographical location of Hengshan, will directly build an emerging first-tier city in central China, and it will be both economic and military. A phenomenal city.”

Yes, Mr. Zhu was not joking or exaggerating.

If Hengshan can really be developed into a city, with the help of Lucheng and Yangcheng, and the implementation of policies in other surrounding small cities, this situation is almost inevitable.

There is only one fundamental reason!

With the existence of Zhurong Palace, Hengshan's fire vein resources are almost endless.

This is the difference between Hengshan and other resource-rich cities. It is difficult for Hengshan to die due to resource depletion!

Therefore, the officials really don't seem to care about what is in Zhurong Hall. They only ask that Zhurong Hall can be there and play the role it has played for thousands of years.

Of course, it would be better if we could completely control Zhu Rong Palace.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, the official only wanted Hengshan and more fully explored the resources of the Fire Vein, instead of just being limited to Yangcheng.

Just because of the Zhurong Palace, the environmental conditions in Hengshan are too suitable for demons. Even if the forbidden curse is used, it will be difficult to strike a balance between preserving Hengshan and killing all the demons.

With no other choice, they had to keep trying to solve the mystery of Zhurong Palace.

Therefore, it seems that the official goal is Zhu Rong Palace.

"So...from the very beginning, the official goal was Hengshan, and wanted to transform Hengshan into a city?"
