Satan, a mage with a terrifying name on Earth, was one of Sui Xiong's earliest subordinates. As one of the genius mages of the Mifata Federation 70 years ago, he was an outstanding talent. This was not only reflected in his excellent magic aptitude, but more importantly, he had outstanding magic research talent.
For an individual mage, the former was enough, and the latter was not important. Learning step by step, one could also reach a very high level. But for a mage's organization, the latter was the difference between heaven and earth. It was like running a factory, which did not need independent research ability, as long as it could make good use of the research results of others. But running a research institute, did you not have your own independent research ability? Was this a joke?
Since the establishment of the Void Mask amusement park and the situation of the church stabilized, Satan had been living in seclusion. He mainly did research, and one after another, he produced many results, which greatly promoted the level of magic in the Republic of Northwest.
His most important research result was the Purification Magic Circle.
The Purification Magic Circle was an extremely complicated magic circle. It could expel the negative energy within the range of the magic circle, and it could receive positive energy from the positive side of the Ring of the World. Although the amount of both was not much, when combined, it was not as simple as one plus one equals two. Using this magic circle, it could create a pure land without negative energy in the Ashes Woods, which was full of negative energy, so that people could live and work safely in this life forbidden zone.
Before the Republic of Northwest was established, he completed the first Purification Magic Circle with the help of Felix and Josh. Not long after that, he successfully entered the Legendary Realm and became a legendary mage.
But this news had been kept secret. Not only the outside world, but even most of the higher-ups of the Republic of Northwest only knew that Satan was in seclusion to study the Legendary Realm, but they did not know that he had already entered the Legendary Realm.
Over the years, he made many modifications and improvements to the Purification Magic Circle, and built such a magic circle in the four major cities of the Republic of Northwest. In today's Republic of Northwest, although there was still a lot of negative energy in the wilderness, at least in the cities, there was absolutely no need to worry about it being eroded.
If someone came to the northwest about 50 years ago and revisited it now, he would probably not believe his eyes, because the northwest now was completely different from the past.
Back then, the wilderness in the northwest was barren. Except for the black trees that had mutated due to the negative energy, even weeds were rarely seen. As for birds and beasts, they were completely extinct. Apart from some extremely tenacious insects, almost all that could survive were magical beasts. And the "Four Towns" where people lived were not necessarily any better. Even though there were walls or fences to protect them, and the strength of the town residents was enough to resist the attacks of the skeletons, these things could not stop the invisible negative energy. Under the corrosion of the negative energy, the people here aged very quickly. Ordinary people would often become senile in their thirties or forties. Even the adventurers were more haggard and old than other places, and they looked exhausted all day long.
And this was during spring and summer, when the weather was relatively warm. In the middle of winter, the combination of the cold and the negative energy was enough to make people with weaker bodies unable to survive. Usually, more than a third of the residents would die in a single winter.
But these were not the scariest things in the northwest region. The scariest thing here was the skeleton tide that erupted every year on the night of the polar new year.
As the stars in the sky revolved, the various energies on the ground had their highs and lows. Every night of the polar new year, the negative energy between heaven and earth would reach its peak. At this time, the magical beasts of the Necromancy would appear everywhere, and the clergymen of the various good gods would sweep everywhere to ensure the safety of the human world.
And in the northwest, this situation would lead to a terrible catastrophe, the skeleton tide.
Skeletons were not terrible magical beasts. In a one-on-one fight, as long as one did not panic and calmly dealt with them, even an ordinary farmer could knock them down. But when the skeleton tide broke out, tens of thousands of skeletons would surge endlessly like a stormy sea. Even a high-level master might die under this kind of siege. As for ordinary people, they would simply die in an instant, without even a chance to fight back.
What was more terrible was that when the number of skeletons gathered to a certain extent, it could also lead to a tide of negative energy!
That was a terrible scene that ordinary people would only have the opportunity to see once in their lifetime. The gray and black negative energy was like a tide, flowing slowly but unstoppably. No matter what kind of means they used, it was useless in front of it. Even the temples that had been painstakingly built for many years could not hold on for too long in front of this tide of negative energy.
In this case, except for the incarnation of the gods, there was no other way to save the situation.
In the past years, there had been about three tides of negative energy in the northwest area. The first two tides destroyed two towns, and the last one was repelled by the incarnation of the God of Law. But even so, the God of Law had suffered a lot.
In the past, the northwest was such a terrible place. Except for those who could not survive in their hometowns, no one would go crazy to come here.
But now, the northwest had completely changed. Even in the suburbs, there was a wide road, and from time to time, a large open space could be seen on the side of the road. There was a strong wall around the open space, and inside the wall was a tall building — that was a courier station, a good place to rest and make tired travelers feel at ease. As for the towns, there was green grass and trees everywhere, and flowers bloomed from time to time. It was as if they had come to the south.
The pedestrians on the road still looked a little tired, but their faces were no longer haggard, because they could get enough rest at night without worrying about danger. The people in the city, on the other hand, were all glowing and in high spirits. Even the poorer people didn't seem to be hungry or cold. From time to time, one or two fat people could be seen walking around — this was absolutely impossible in the northwest in the past.
The people here, regardless of age, men or women, always had a smile on their faces. Their faces were filled with hope for the future and confidence that life would be better. There was once a traveler who visited and sighed, "This used to be hell on earth, but now it's like a kingdom of God on earth!"
The key to bringing about these changes was the Purification Array invented by Master Satan!
Regarding this, the officials of the Republic of Northwest had never denied it, and had even been vigorously promoting the achievements of Master Satan. Therefore, he had a high reputation among the people of the Republic of Northwest. Everyone respected this old mage who usually lived in the magic tower and almost never went out.
He also had a very high reputation in the various countries of the continent, and many people respectfully called him the "Sage of Purification" — this was treating him as a legendary mage, even though on the surface, he had not yet stepped into the legendary realm.
And now, Satan walked out of his magic tower, and from his eyes, it could be seen that he would once again return to the people's eyes.
