Mysteries: Arcana Wars

Backlund is 448 meters above the ground.

Construction site - Broken Star Building.

The outside of the building is still covered with dense scaffolding and construction curtains, with twinkling lights shining on the advertising cloth, introducing the favorable prices and good services of this office building to outsiders.

From the outside, the Broken Star Building looks like a high-end office building that has not yet been completed, but in fact, the building has been completely completed.

In this office building, the Church of the Night has built a secret tower with complete facilities and strict defense. Rather than saying it is a building, it is better to say that it is a huge, complex and sophisticated strategic machinery and equipment.

In the Church of Evernight, few people knew the full picture of this huge building. For the city of Backlund, this building was just a newborn, but the location of the Starshatter Building was of great significance.

Under this new building is an engineering heritage that has been closed for hundreds of years:

【Ground Well】

According to the information Gloria was able to obtain, the people who carried out the "Underground Well" project were a group of radical researchers. They promoted their plan in newspapers with great fanfare, and as a result, they received huge sponsorship from many companies and consortiums.

Among them are the Church of Night and the Abraham Group.

But when the [Underground Well] project was stopped, the Church of Night organized most of the closure measures. The church separated the [Underground Well] layer by layer and added seals and secrets to ensure the safety of human civilization.

That is to say, the secrets and seals set up back then completely hid the [underground well], which not only interfered with mystical divination and normal cognition, but also made the detection equipment helpless.

According to the original sealing plan, each section of the processed [Earth Well] is independent of each other. Due to cognitive interference and secrecy effects, people in one layer cannot locate the position of another layer.

Unless the sealed floor is directly broken through, if the people in the [underground well] want to find a way outside the well to another level of the [underground well], they will eventually get lost and unable to reach another level of the [underground well].

Under normal circumstances, no one can go up or down in the [underground well], and no one can go around the [underground well]. In this way, no one can touch the entrance of the [underground well] on the ground, and it is difficult for anyone to feel the [underground well] and push the entrance on the ground upwards in the dungeon.

The Church of Night even built a house on top of the [underground well] and used it as a monitoring station for the [underground well], completely blocking the [underground well].

But the Church of Evernight still miscalculated one thing: the dungeon [sinking].

In the dungeon, [subsidence] is used to refer to all extraordinary disasters and geographical disasters.

In the hundreds of years since the "Underground Well" was sealed, Backlund has experienced extraordinary disasters of varying sizes, causing a large number of underground facilities to be destroyed and sinking underground, becoming an underground city separated from civilized society. The extraordinary disasters underground are even more bizarre, changeable, and more frequent.

As a result, the seal in the [Underground Well] gradually loosened and broke. Now, it became possible to travel upward along the underground well.

According to the report, the Church of Evernight's reply to Gloria was that there was still a lot of pollution from the Fifth Age deep underground, and warned Gloria not to delve into it any further, and that the topic ended there.

As time went by and the situation developed, this piece of land experienced many times of building and demolishing houses. The newly promoted Star Shattering Building is the new generation of gatekeepers of the [Earth Well], and it is also the generation with the greatest difficulties. When the time is right, they need to try to repair the seal of the [Earth Well] again.

But the mission of this behemoth does not stop there.

In the [Divine Punishment] plan, the Starshatter Building will set up a communicator [Dark Beacon] from Tesla at the highest point.

The Steam Church, Abraham and the Night Church have clear division of responsibilities in the ambition of [Heavenly Punishment], among which the Night Church is responsible for ground strikes. The construction of [Dark Lighthouse] will relay satellite signals through independent channels, guide the Night Church's combatants to better receive information, and complete coordination with [Heavenly Punishment] weapons.

In addition, the Steam Church is responsible for the strike weapons part of the plan, while Abraham is responsible for the surface support of the starry sky.

In Gloria's opinion, building the [Dark Lighthouse] on the [Earth Well] was a dangerous decision, and she had questioned it. But the specific plan of the [Dark Lighthouse] and the transaction with the Tesla family were decided before she officially took over the [Heavenly Punishment] plan.

This is a resolution from the 22-member Supreme Council.

According to the plan and agreement, the Tesla family will soon send the communicator [Dark Lighthouse] along the [underground well].

Tonight, Gloria forced Leonard to stay in the Starshatter Building.

Although His Highness Pales has always behaved well, Gloria will not forget that this old man with a bad temper is an old monster who has lived all the way from the legendary Fourth Epoch to the present.

From the church's perspective, Leonard Mitchell's secret promotion was a huge variable and a huge hidden danger. Gloria was unsure of what Pales was going to do, but for tonight, it was safer to keep Leonard, the variable, by her side.

"Wait, ma'am..."

Leonard, who was looking around, suddenly called Gloria.

“That red over there… is it on fire?”

Gloria's spiritual warning suddenly sounded. She quickly walked to the glass. In her extraordinary senses, the tiny red was particularly dazzling in the night sky.

"……not good!"

Alarms sounded one after another, and Red Gloves from all over Backlund rushed to report the bad news to Gloria. Two Nighthawks ran to Gloria in panic.

"Ma'am! I think you should come and see this!"

"Oh no, ma'am! It's the exiles! They're rioting from underground!"

Before the night watchmen finished their reports, Gloria immediately entered emergency mode.

"You stay here, and the others watch him. I'll go downstairs to monitor the situation. Notify me if anything happens."

"Wait..." Leonard subconsciously called out to Gloria, "Shouldn't we go to the scene to provide support? Or...is there anything I can do to help?"

"My mission tonight is to defend the Starshatter Building. It is the duty of the Nighthawks and the Red Gloves to follow orders.

"I am not the only Sequence 3 senior deacon in Backlund. My colleague has already taken over this incident.

"I'll do my part. And your part, Leonard."

After saying that, Gloria jumped down the stairs with two night watchmen, leaving only a few people to guard Leonard.

Things didn't seem that simple. After just a brief conversation, when I looked back, the red tide seemed to become more eye-catching, and there were even other red dots flickering in the city.

"Is that... the Backlund Slums?

"No... not just the slums... the exiles have also attacked many other places!"

The exiles' uprising went directly beyond Leonard's expectations.

"How dare they!?"

"It's no use for you to be anxious anyway, so you might as well give your juniors more trust."

Pales acted as if he was used to it.

"Didn't you say you've lived for more than a thousand years? Why, haven't you seen enough of this kind of scene?"

Leonard sighed. When he saw that those red dots were exiles, he realized their fate. No matter how big the conspiracy behind the exiles was, those underground city residents wearing red robes would never have a bright future.

"Nothing, but there is one thing that makes me a little uneasy..."

Leonard whispered.

"Do you remember that before Merlin parted with us, he commissioned you to make a [Reappearance of Yesterday]?"
