Pollution throughout the territory

"This...ah."

Niu Changshou seemed unwilling to mention it, and turned the wine glass in his hand: "That was... a long time ago."

Said a beautiful piece of nonsense.

Xia Ren looked at him and stopped asking.

He thought of the mental hospital in the ancient dream. If nothing else happened, it should be in Arkham City. But after all, it has been so long. In Arkham City, which is full of monsters, there probably is not much development in a place like the mental hospital. spatial.

Rather, to a certain extent, all the residents of Arkham City can be regarded as mentally ill, including of course myself who came here.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lu Yi came back holding Lily's hand.

The little guy had a satisfied look on his face and even burped when he saw Xia Ren.

"No one saw it?"

Niu Changshou asked.

Lu Yi said: "We went to the toilet."

"It's a nice secluded place."

Xia Ren's view of Da Yuanjing has changed a bit. Apart from hating him and liking Qin Yun, the other party's personality is actually quite good.

Qin Yun was silent on the sidelines. She had never seen the scene of Lily eating, but this kind of... was too exciting for her.

There are not many handsome men and beautiful women in the bar, and the citizens of Arkham basically don't have the habit of wearing makeup, so the purity is very high, and you don't have to worry about not being able to recognize them after taking off the makeup.

However, if you really plan to find a short-term partner here and return home to explore the mysteries of biological reproduction, you still have to consider whether you can withstand the stimulation if the other person takes off his clothes and reveals his true body.

In order to integrate into human society, gain advantages, and facilitate the reproduction of offspring, many offspring of different races have top-notch human appearances before they mature, just like the original ghoul cub Zhang Xiang.

Because Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Scripture covered his aura, Xia Ren did not show any aura except that he was very handsome. In the eyes of others, he was automatically classified as a member of a different race. Qin Yun and Xia Ren Sitting next to each other, no one is asking for trouble.

Because Niu Changshou needs to take dark water for a long time to maintain his life, and because he is a member of the Superman Association, he has a disgusting aura on his body, and it is impossible to become a target for others.

In comparison, Lu Yi, who had mellow magic power in his body and was far away from everyone, stood out like a white rabbit among tigers.

Not long after, someone else came to chat with Lu Yi with undisguised malice, and the latter was naturally happy to use it as bait to keep Lily full.

They stayed at the bar for two hours, and Lily relied on Lu Yi to eat several meals.

Although the bar environment is chaotic, eating so frequently will still be noticed by interested people, and there are already several pairs of eyes watching in the dark.

They waited for another half an hour, but no one with an eye open came to the door. Niu Changshou knew that no more fish would take the bait within a short period of time, so he simply left the bar with everyone.

Xia Ren glanced at his phone. Although there was no signal here, the basic functions could still be used.

According to the time outside, it was exactly six o'clock in the evening, when the sun was just about to set, but the sky here remained unchanged.

They randomly found a roadside restaurant and ordered some normal food.

As for what abnormal food looks like, I believe no one will want to know after seeing what is on the plates of other tables.

The little one ate a lot of "things" in the afternoon and is now a little drowsy. However, this does not affect her appetite at all. As long as something is brought to her mouth, she can eat it.

Niu Changshou looked up at Xia Ren and said: "There is still a certain degree of danger in the urban area at night. Of course, my brother, you can walk sideways with your strength, but then we will be exposed. For tomorrow's auction, tonight we Just be more honest."

"Who are the people attending the auction?"

"That's impossible to say."

Niu Changshou thought for a while and said: "This kind of auction is open. Anyone can participate as long as they pay a deposit, and there is no time limit. However, most of the people who participate in the auction are wizards. They often study magic. There will be a need for some rare items and precious materials, especially ancient manuscripts and books, which are often hotly contested at auctions, while other things are less popular.”

"Ancient manuscripts?" Xia Ren repeated.

Niu Changshou explained: "They are the notes left by wizards long ago. Most of them are preserved in different races, or among the noble families that have been inherited since the establishment of the Supreme Alliance Government. The ancient wizard inheritance has long been cut off. , and today’s wizards have only begun to revive in recent decades, and their mastery of magic and alchemy almost entirely relies on the research and analysis of ancient manuscripts and books, which is why it is so important.”

What he didn't say was that he himself was one of those nobles from aristocratic families, so he knew so much about this aspect.

Xia Ren frowned and said: "I don't know about alchemy, but isn't the magic of wizards basically the same as yours, which is based on studying pollution and using the knowledge of pollution to gain power? So in the past when technology was not so developed, How could the wizard’s inheritance be interrupted?”

He didn't have much interest in the Wizards' Union before, until the appearance of Sinney Grant, which broke his understanding of wizards. It would be incredibly difficult to send people directly to the moon without resorting to the power of external gods. It’s conceivable.

He had always thought that the Wizards Alliance was only founded in the past few decades, so magic basically appeared in the past few decades, but from Niu Changshou's description, it seemed that magic existed long ago.

Just by briefly imagining it, he noticed something was wrong.

You must know that in an era when the scientific system was not well established, people often blamed illusory gods for their explanations of natural phenomena. The wizards at that time had powers beyond mortals and could use things that seemed to ordinary people to be It is miraculous magic, so the identity of a wizard must have been in the most noble position in ancient times.

People at that time may have completely abandoned the development of science under the influence of wizards, and regarded magic and alchemy as the only way to explore the truth of the universe. This way seems to be completely feasible now. Humans can really acquire power that is not inferior to science by polluting knowledge, and the current Superman Association is doing something similar.

If everything goes well, then the Blue Star that Xia Ren sees now, the magic academy will replace the university, and the status of wizards will be the same as scientists, pioneers in promoting human progress.

So what made humans choose science over magic? So that wizards cut off their inheritance?
