(It has been raining heavily for the past two days, and the water level in my hometown has risen. Fu Tu himself took a video of others fishing on the street. Tomorrow, he will send it to the public WeChat account for you to see. In addition, he also said that he also caught a grass carp weighing three pounds in front of his house. Ugh! … …)

The deeper they went underground, the more dwarf corpses there were.
However, the approximate casualty ratio was still maintained at ten to one. The lives of ten dwarf warriors could be exchanged for the life of a middle-level devil. The devils who invaded here basically did not have low-level cannon fodder. All of them were elite troops who had officially participated in the bloody battle. The efficiency of slaughtering these dwarves was simple and neat. The only place where the Devil Legion paid more casualties was near the temple area.
That is, the place where the main god of the dwarf divine system, Moradin, was enshrined.
The divine power and the glory of faith that shrouded the temple area had dissipated. The Devil Legion somehow polluted the temple and completely destroyed it at the same time, eliminating the connection with the gods.
During the period of the Avatar Crisis, the defense of the temple was very amazing!
However, now that the power of the gods was seriously damaged, the temple could only retain a little of its original power. No god would take the risk to directly send an incarnation to guard the temple.
The main god of the temple was the dwarf god, Moradin.
In addition, the temple area also worshipped two other gods. One was the [Dwarf God of Exploration], Dumason, and the other was the [Dwarf God of Theft], Vegadin.
Both of these gods were [Mid-level Divine Power].
The former mainly explored treasures, minerals, secret treasures, and so on. It had a wide range of beliefs among the dwarves and miners. The latter was the god of the dwarves who was in charge of [Wealth], [Luck], and [Opportunity]. He also had the divine domain of dwarves, luck, trade, craftiness, and so on.
He was also the God of Theft.
Obviously, Vegadin was much better off. Wealth and luck were two very important divine domains.
Under normal circumstances, there would be a treasure trove under Vejadin's temple. Soran took a look and found that a secret room had been opened. The demons seemed to be aware of this as well. After conquering the dwarven fortress, they brought back most of the valuable spoils back to the dwarves. Unlike the demons in other planes, the demons in the first and second layers of the Baator Inferno often dealt with merchants from other planes, so they cared more about gold and silver coins. They knew that they could use these coins to buy supplies from the plane merchants.
There were many planes in the multiverse.
It was common to see human Planar Merchants in the Baator Inferno, but they didn't come from the material planes. Most of them came from other Demiplanes, and even special places like Sigil City.
As long as there was profit to be made, the devils would deal with any race or creature!
Below the dwarven fortress was a huge furnace. Søren sensed the presence of the Dimensional Crack from here. No wonder the dwarves were caught off guard. It turned out that the demons suddenly emerged from the flames near the furnace. Many Devils were immune to fire damage, so it would be difficult to defend a Dwarven fortress from here. However, this also proved that this group of demons had done their research before attacking. They knew the structure of the fortress and the contents of the information.
This was different from the other Devil Lords. It was obviously the work of Bardi!
"It's almost time."
Gloria didn't look too good after walking around this place full of corpses. The witches were a little spoiled, so she didn't see many of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood that were common to close-combat professions. The simulacrum spell didn't last long. It was almost time for it to wear off.
Søren looked around and nodded. "Cancel the spell. Let's go back."
"There's nothing valuable here."
As the spell was lifted, the figures of the two people disappeared from the spot.
The next moment.
Søren walked out of the study. Gloria also walked out of the laboratory with a serious look on her face.
"I have something to talk to you about."
Gloria walked to Søren's side and said seriously, "Everything I saw today is really …"
"If Mordor was attacked like this, and we happened to not be in the city, I'm afraid it would be impossible to resist such an attack with the defensive power of Mordor."
"I want to test the defense system of the magic lock recently."
"Then arrange steel golems in some positions. These golems won't be activated usually, but once the city is attacked, the magic lock will automatically activate the defense system in the city and let the steel golems step on the battlefield immediately."
Activating the device.
Just like what Søren found in the arcane ruins, after triggering the alarm, the defense measures would be automatically activated, and the golem army would appear immediately to eliminate the invaders.
This was a relatively subtle application, and it had to be attached to the magic lock.
Søren nodded and said, "Okay. After a while, the production of steel golems will increase a lot. At that time, we will test the defense system of Mordor. "
"Okay." Gloria nodded and then said, "By the way."
"Mother wants to do a large-scale experiment in a few days. She may need your help to ensure safety."
Large-scale experiment?
Could it be the study of elemental fission?
Søren's face changed slightly when he heard that, but Gloria seemed to understand his thoughts. She gently lifted her long hair and said, "Don't worry. It's not the study of elemental fission. The information we have at present is not enough to carry out experiments. "
"What mother wants to do is to raise the Floating-Space Tower and then teleport directly to the Astral World."
"This is a very important experiment."
"If the results are successful, we can go to and from the Astral World at any time through the Arcane Tower, and we can use the ability of the Floating-Space Tower to collect the Astral Sand."
"The Floating-Space Ring and other materials need some materials from the Astral World."
"If the Arcane Tower can go to and from the Astral World freely, we can try to build it into a small fortress, just like the steel fortress of the Githyankis floating in the Astral World."
So that's how it is.
Søren thought about it and suddenly felt that it was a good idea. The resources of the Astral World were huge. Although he could easily go to and from the Astral World, it was very troublesome to collect them by his own strength. If the Arcane Tower could also be teleported to the Astral World, then it would be equivalent to having a small base, which would be beneficial for Mordor City's storage of various resources. They could even use the Arcane Tower to track meteorites and meteors in the Astral World.
Maybe.
They could also find a completely diamondized meteor.
"Yes." Søren nodded immediately and said, "Let me know when the teleportation experiment is carried out."
"Right."
"Is the current energy supply of Mordor City enough to maintain the Floating-Space Tower to and from the Astral World?"
Gloria and Fallen Witch were responsible for the research in this area. Søren didn't know much about it.
Gloria thought for a moment and said softly, "It should be a little difficult at the moment, but according to the original plan, Mordor City's demand for Astral World's resources will increase in the future, so the experiment of Astral World teleportation has been brought forward."
"Understood." Søren nodded.
The two then discussed some other things, and then Gloria went back to her laboratory.
Søren was also ready to go to the Temple.
However!
At this moment, he suddenly sensed a trace of divine power fluctuation. It was actually near the City Lord's mansion. There was a god's incarnation, or perhaps even the main body. It actually dared to sneak into the vicinity of his headquarters!
"Who is it!?"
Søren stopped suddenly, and then his figure disappeared.
Judging from the fluctuation of divine power, the level of the other party's divine power was much lower than Søren's. It was very likely that it was a [Minor Divine Power] or a [Lesser Divine Power].
As a true god of the Order Evil Alignment, Søren did not have many allies.
And most of them would not come uninvited. Most of Søren's allies were above the Intermediate Divine Power, such as the Goddess of the Sea, the Goddess of Wealth, the Goddess of Agriculture, and so on.
Søren rarely dealt with weak gods!
He didn't know whether the true god who quietly entered Mordor City was kind or malicious, but seeing him sneaking close to Søren's base, it should belong to the kind of purpose that couldn't be exposed.
Now he wanted to see who actually sneaked into Mordor City!
