Reincarnation Paradise

The cold wind howled by, and the blazing sun in the sky was blocked by leaden dark clouds, making the Silent City even more chilly.

It is clearly midsummer, but the Silent City is experiencing the biting cold wind of late autumn. Against this backdrop of the weather, the stone slabs on the streets reveal the cold color of azurite, and the streets are deserted. It is hard to believe that this is the most prosperous time in the witch world. several big cities.

The massive attack led by the Dark Twins was just the last straw to crush the Silent City. This place is adjacent to the world's largest canal, the "Xigol River". Traveling westward by water, it will take no more than a month at most for a giant cargo ship to be able to Arrive at "Silver Moon Port", which is the largest port in the main city, Moon Ring City.

Starting from the Silent City, heading north along the "Xigol River", it will take up to two months to arrive at the cargo port of Sky City and Lower City. Don't think it will take a long time. The giant freighter in this world can carry 800 ~9 million tons of goods. If these goods are transported through space, it is indeed fast, but the transportation costs incurred are a hundred times that of these goods.

Not only that, a world-level teleportation array was set up here, which was larger than the current world-level teleportation array in Moon Ring City. It connected Wanjie, Void, and Fenghai Continent. Even the Meteorite Star occasionally opened coordinates to it.

In the past, Silent City was not only a trade hub connecting the two main cities of "Moon Ring City" and "Sky City", but also a big cake shared by the leaders of both sides. Because of this huge cake, Sky City It took many dark wizards to obey the Moon Witch's orders, but now, the big cake is gone.

This place was previously called "Muguang City", but it was renamed "Silent City" after a major event happened, that is, the replacement of the previous Moon Witch.

When Su Xiao met the current Moon Witch before, her first impression was that she was a busy intellectual beauty with an elegant temperament that revealed a bit of laziness. Especially when they first met, she took off her high heels and sat on the leather chair behind her desk to stretch out. The scene of laziness.

Don’t be deceived by all this. This Moon Witch is holding the head of the previous Moon Witch with one hand and sitting on the Moon Wizard’s coronation seat. Her face is stained with blood, and she is looking at the wizards below. Nobles, none of the wizards and nobility at that time objected. Anyone who dared to oppose Cecilis died.

Cecilis is the most ruthless and outstanding Moon Wizard in the world. She has developed the witch world to an unprecedented height, but this comes at a price, and the scene in Silent City at this time is one of the prices.

At that time, the wizard families in the Silent City were opposed to Cecilis's canonization as the wizard of the moon. The main conflict was that Cecilis wanted to set up a world-level teleportation array in several other major cities, including the main city, Moon Ring City, to end the Silent City monopolizes foreign trade. This direct conflict of interest has led to conflicts between the two parties.

Walking on the streets of Silent City, Su Xiao felt a vague sense of prying eyes. This feeling had just appeared after leaving Moon Ring City with the teleportation array.

There are very few pedestrians on the street, and most of them are wearing old clothes. Occasionally, you can see well-dressed people, who are also full of violence. They must be engaged in the underground industry of licking blood with knife points.

Although the Silent City is in a state of depression during the day, there is a second name here, Night City. After six o'clock in the evening, all the sheriffs in this big city will return to the police station as soon as possible. If it is too late, they will also change their clothes. , because at six o'clock in the evening, when night begins to fall, the Night City becomes a lawless place. Stolen goods trading, pleasure dens, extraordinary organ auctions, gladiatorial arenas, black markets, etc. are opened one after another, blooming with a sinful and bloody abnormal prosperity. .

The top wizards tried to suppress the underground industry in Night City, but after suppressing Night City to a certain extent, these shady businesses began to breed in the main city and other big cities, which increased the pressure on public security. In the end, they could only deal with Night City. Turn a blind eye to the situation.

After arriving here, Alanna's breath was obviously a little tense, but after thinking about who she came here with this time, she felt relieved. The lawless gangster in Night City met this person next to her. Finally, we must not dare to make any mistakes.

A garbage truck drove out from the corner. In addition to the stinking garbage, there was also a blue and scarred arm hanging down. It was already a little stiff. Judging from the tattoos on the arm, it was a local gang member. This A small character like a fish, someone dies every night in Night City, so this old man who cleans the streets and drives a garbage truck is naturally extra calm.

Alanna, who has lived in a place with perfect laws and regulations such as the main city of Moon Ring City for a long time, is obviously not used to the cruelty of Night City. She chooses to wear a hood to feel safer.

Traveling all the way to the back city, which used to be the residence of the powerful, when they arrived at a dilapidated manor, it could be seen that Alanna's family was once very prosperous.

No one knew who had torn down the door of the manor. The gate post on one side collapsed. Walking along the gravel road, a dilapidated and somewhat majestic building appeared in front of it. The building was entirely black, and the wooden front door on the opposite side had been replaced. A hole was opened, and after walking into it, you can see some abandoned quilts. It seems that homeless people came here to escape the cold winter.

There are overgrown weeds in the cracks between the bricks and stones on the ground. Looking up, the skylight is gray, and there is the sound of crows squawking. The metal is rusted to the point of blackening, and a dead body hangs on the chandelier.

Although she didn't know who this was, Alanna still chose to control liquid silver and put the corpse down. Controlling liquid silver was Alanna's secondary ability, but it was not weak.

This building has a total of six floors. Eminem is in charge of the fifth and sixth floors, Baha is in charge of the third and fourth floors, Bubowang is in charge of the first and second floors, and Su Xiao takes Alanna towards the basement.

"From what I remember, there was nothing in the basement here."

Standing in front of the basement entrance steps, Alana's tone was particularly determined. Why is she afraid of ghosts? For a witch with peak ninth-level strength, this is ridiculous. The reason for this is that Alana came to this basement for fun when she was a child and was frightened. It can be said that it was a shadow of her childhood.

"Go and search the third and fourth floors for Baha and let him come..."

"No, I'm fine."

Alana's eyes were firm. Although she was a little panicked, she really wanted to enter the basement. She was both afraid and looking forward to it.

"..."

Su Xiao walked down the steps into the underground passage. After a while, a heavy silver-gray metal door blocked the way. Alanna stepped forward and turned the lock plate, but after fiddling with it for a long time, the door failed to open.

"Step aside."

After Su Xiaoyan finished speaking, he kicked the building with a muffled thud, and the whole building trembled, and a layer of the weathered exterior wall peeled off.

A hole appeared in the metal door in front. The damaged area did not splash inside, but curled up like flowers. Su Xiao was already quite experienced in kicking open the door of the treasure house. If the kicked fragments flew around, it would most likely result in profit. loss.

Walking into the basement, it turned out to be a place similar to a mysterious side laboratory. In an area totaling thousands of square meters, there was a planetarium in the center. It had not been taken care of for many years, and the astrology instrument was also running.

Glass pillars two meters thick and more than four meters high stand beside the wall, forming a large row. The turbid yellow solution is soaked with the corpses of strange demons, half-ghosts, alien species and other creatures, and even... There are also witches who have become crazy due to malignant transformation, and filthy people who have become filthy and have tumors all over their bodies.

Based on Su Xiao's knowledge, he felt that this mysterious side laboratory was definitely not something that a wizard family could afford. Thinking about it this way, the decline of the Alanna family was not only due to the assassination on the moonless night, but also because of this mysterious side experiment. Room is also one of the inducements.

Su Xiao came to a corpse. This was a member of the Dark Cult. Half of his head was broken. It felt like a person much stronger than him killed him with a knife, and the blood and The brain splattered onto the test bench not far away, extinguishing the burning cloth and the torch in his hand.

From the posture of the corpse lying on the ground and the way it held the torch, it can be judged that the other party prepared a fire to burn down this mysterious side laboratory before leaving, but was killed by his superiors, so there were no other people around. Traces of a fight.

The context of the matter gradually became clear. Ten years ago, the Dark Twins, who had just joined the Dark God Religion, secretly returned to this place with several subordinates from the Dark God Religion, and took something away from the underground laboratory. One of them A member of the Dark Cult was about to burn this place down, but was killed on the spot by the Dark Twins. It can be seen that at that time, the Dark Twins still had nostalgia for their family.

Another possibility is that the Dark Twins left this underground laboratory to someone, hoping that the other person would continue to research here and achieve some kind of results.

However, judging from the corpse of a dark member that has not been cleared away, it can be inferred that the mysterious man did not return to the underground laboratory, let alone continue the unknown research. Su Xiao remembered that when he first entered this building, he hung himself The nameless corpse on the chandelier may be the mysterious person that the Dark Twins were waiting for, but he died for some reason.

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the ground, and the translucent blue crystal layer spread, clinging to every inch of the underground laboratory, until it seemed like the place was sealed in ice. He released spiritual shadow lines one by one, and submerged into the crystal layers everywhere. Finally, the other ends of hundreds of spiritual shadow lines converged at the center and were tightly entwined.

The rich green steel shadow energy appeared on Su Xiao's index finger, which was so rich that it became liquid. He pointed his index finger at the intersection of the spiritual shadow lines, and let the green steel shadow energy spread along it and penetrate into the crystal layer of the surrounding walls and ceiling. superior.

This caused all the crystal layers in the laboratory to show a thread-like distribution. This is a sign that appears only when energy passes smoothly. Only in a 2×3 meter area, the crystal layer attached here has not changed, which means that behind the crystal layer There is a "blocking technique" that blocks perception.

"Shh~"

Su Xiao motioned to Alanna to stop where she was and not to make any more noise. As far as he knew, this kind of "blocking technique" is usually used with metal life. This metal life has been guarding this place for many years without anyone coming. , chose to sleep. All the actions just now did not wake up the metal life. This only shows that the metal life is deeply asleep, but it does not mean that subsequent movements will not wake it up.

Su Xiao came to the wall, clung to the crystal layer with his hand, and pressed lightly on it. The spiritual shadow line spread out in his hand. The micron-level spiritual shadow line gradually disappeared into the wall, and slowly and softly wrapped around a metal life.

Zhi~!

Su Xiao suddenly pulled with one hand, and a metal insect more than 10 centimeters long with a pointed head was pulled out. This metal life is connected to the self-destruct mechanism in the wall. Once someone randomly tries to open the lock, the metal life will be stressed. , triggering the self-destruct mechanism, and everything stored in the secret room behind the wall will be destroyed.

With a click, Su Xiao crushed the metal bug's head with her thumb and forefinger, threw it aside, and quickly found a secret mechanism on the wall. After touching it, a piece of the wall flipped over, revealing the lock plate inside.

Take out the Mysterious Eye, adjust it to the unlocking mode, and attach it to it. Wait for half a minute. With a click, the secret room door opens. Alanna is shocked after witnessing all this.

Entering the secret room, it is a small room surrounded by bookshelves, with a desk and a chair. There are various drawings randomly placed on it, which are various summoning arrays, and each one is worth thousands of gold. advanced knowledge.

After checking, Su Xiao found that these summoning arrays were quite strange. They were not studying how to summon higher-level beings, but how to reverse summon and send the summoned things back to their original places.

After reading other books, Su Xiao found that the research here was all about abyss, summoning, and spells. After seeing these, Su Xiao had a guess about the Dark Twins, that is, some of the previous information was wrong, and the Dark Twins The twins are not Alanna's ancestors, nor are they related by blood.

There is a possibility that the Dark Twins are existences summoned from the abyss by Alana's ancestors. This may sound a bit unbelievable at first, but if you think carefully about the "malignant transformation" of the wizards, you will feel that this possibility is extremely high.

If Alanna's ancestor summoned a powerful abyssal creature, the greatest risk would be that she would be attacked by this abyssal creature.

In fact, there is a high probability that abyssal creatures will not attack wizards in this world. The reason is that while wizards control the power of natural elements, their souls will inevitably be slowly eroded by the power of the abyss, especially the elderly. The wizard has a stronger aura of the abyss.

Abyssal creatures that have just been summoned are at a loss for the material world. Although they are alert and irritable, there is a high probability that they will not attack a wizard who has the same aura as the abyss.

This means that even if Alanna's ancestors really summoned the abyss creatures, it would still be possible for them to coexist harmoniously with each other, and through the oath with each other, let them help protect the safety of the family.

For Alanna's family, the Morgan family, this is undoubtedly a very good choice.

At first, the dark twins who had just arrived in the material world did not understand anything, but as time passed, they gradually developed their own thinking and wisdom. The abyss never represents evil, so the creatures from the abyss are good or evil. It also depends on the situation.

The Dark Twins have always regarded the members of the Mogan family as relatives, watching them grow up, grow old, and die from generation to generation. This situation lasted until the night of the moonless assassination ten years ago.

It is easier for abyssal creatures to gain power, but all things are balanced, which makes it easier for abyssal creatures to fall into darkness. This is why one of the leaders of the Dark Cult today, the Dark Twins, has emerged.

As for why the Morgan family has been studying the reverse summoning array, this is because after the dark twins learned more and more, they wanted to return to the dark abyss they once wandered in. At that time, they would have no emotions and no joy. Naturally, There is no pain in my heart.

This is why the Dark Twins, who come from the Morgan family and have known the current Moon Witch for many years, joined the Dark Cult very smoothly, and not long after, they became the leader of one of the three major factions of the Dark Cult, because they are Coming from the abyss, in the dark religion that believes in the abyss, there is no higher starting point for identity than this.

In the wizard camp, the Dark Twins have always been the ancestors of the Morgan family. The abyssal aura on their bodies was mistakenly thought to be caused by "malignant transformation". Although it is rare to remain sane after a "malignant transformation", there is indeed a precedent.

Therefore, all the methods used by the wizard camp to track the Dark Twins are based on the premise that the other party is a wizard after a "malignant transformation". Of course, there is no way to deal with the Dark Twins. They are pure abyssal existences.

Su Xiao picked up the many array diagrams on the table. After observing for a while, he found that the "Light and Dark System Summoning Array" was the most studied here. He picked up a few array diagrams and walked out of the basement.

After Su Xiao and others left the manor, they went to a hotel near the city center and got a room. In the guest room, as soon as Su Xiao sat down and thought about the whereabouts of the Dark Twins, someone knocked on the door.

After opening the door, a beautiful witch with long silver hair and some silver eyelashes walked into the guest room. She sat down with a smile in her eyes. Seeing this person, Su Xiao's first thought was that the average witches The appearance is indeed high.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Ye, my name is Serin. I am a witch who admires law slayers very much, especially the deeds of previous generations of law slayers."

"..."

Su Xiao paused and glanced at the witch named Serin across from her. If she was not mistaken, she was one of the three heirs of the moon witch Cecilis.

"I admire an ancestral female exterminator named Green Gillian."

"..."

Hearing this, Su Xiao looked at the witch opposite again, this time a little surprised. He had met a lot of Green Gillian's enemies, but this was the only one who admired her.

Su Xiao looked at Serin up and down, and from the smiling eyes and the smile that could show a bit of morbidity and joy at any time, he knew why Serin was an admirer of Green Gillian.

At this moment, Su Xiao suddenly knew why the moon witch Cecilis had such a look of relief and complexity when she mentioned her three successors before. Because her three successors, despite their talents, strength potential, and IQ, , emotional intelligence, but each has its own shortcomings. Among them, Celine is the most troublesome for the Moon Witch.

Serin came here to express her gratitude to Su Xiao for clearing out all the secret strongholds of the Dark God Cult in Yuehuan City last night, and also brought news that the expenses incurred by Su Xiao in dealing with the Dark God Cult this time, You can go to the Witches Guild for reimbursement, whether it is the teleportation tower usage fee or the cost of purchasing necessary items.

Serin didn't stay long, but before leaving, she looked at Alanna very seriously. She was determining whether she would become a competitor for the position of Moon Witch in the future. After having the answer in her heart, she left with a smile in her eyes.

"Hoo~"

Alana breathed a sigh of relief. Every time she met this senior, she felt inexplicable pressure.

"Alanna, how much do you know about the summoning array?"

Hearing Su Xiao's words, Alanna, who was sitting opposite, coughed slightly and said with a little bit of pride: "I understand very well."

"Is it your personal preference?"

"That's not true. My father cultivated my hobby in this area when I was young."

After hearing this, Su Xiao was basically certain that the Dark Twins were summoned from the abyss by Alana's ancestors.

"How many people in this world are very knowledgeable in light and dark summoning arrays?"

"Five."

Alana's answer was extremely affirmative. After all, she was one of the best in this circle. After thinking for a few seconds, her expression gradually changed and she said:

"Think about it carefully. Three of these five have disappeared due to accidents in recent years. Of the remaining two, one is living in seclusion and the other is in the ancient royal city. Well~, it should be in the ancient royal city. Last time The old man and I met at the exchange meeting in Yuehuan City, and he said that he had returned to the ancient royal city, lived in the old house with his children, and showed off to me how well-behaved his grandson was."

After hearing this, Baha asked doubtfully: "Aren't the forces in the ancient royal city always fighting in a scuffle?"

"Yes, but if they fight, it won't affect the civilians. Even if they really have to decide between life and death, they will go outside the city."

After Alana finished speaking, she recalled for a few seconds and gave the detailed location of the summoning array master.

Su Xiao stood up and walked out. He wanted to go to the ancient royal city immediately. If he guessed correctly, the people under the Dark Twins should have come into contact with the summoning array master, and even hijacked the other party's relatives to make the other party form a stable enough counterattack. Summoning Array, Dark Twin seems to have entered a bottleneck period. It needs to return to the abyss where it once was to get through this bottleneck.

As for going back there and never returning to the world of witches, this is unlikely. The Dark Twins, who have completely fallen into darkness, already have too many desires and are no longer the pure abyss creatures they once were floating in the darkness.

After Su Xiao left the hotel, he found that the sun was setting in the sky like blood. When he arrived at the teleportation tower hall, he found that there were many people here. The thousands-square-meter teleportation hall was bustling with people. Now that the teleportation fee can be reimbursed by the Witches Guild, Of course there is no need to save anymore.

Su Xiao sat down on the bench. At this moment, outside the teleportation tower, the dark wizard Casper was in a shop. The shop owner stood there blankly and was controlled by his mental power.

The dark wizard Casper wears five black rings on his right hand. Although he is a wizard, he is not good at mid- and long-distance combat. On the contrary, his close-range explosive killing methods are so powerful that it makes people outrageous. This is also why he can become an assassin in the Hunter Guild who is only weaker than Xiao.

The dark wizard Casper took out the ancient mask and put it on his face, which caused his appearance and clothing to change quickly, turning into a middle-aged man dressed as a businessman, with a big belly, a friendly face, and a completely ordinary breath. People, let me ask, which extremely powerful person would be wary of ordinary people walking nearby?

The dark wizard Casper walked into the waiting hall of the teleportation tower. He did not look around deliberately, but as a top assassin's eyesight, he immediately locked onto Su Xiao. He carried his suitcase and walked towards Su Xiao at a gentle pace. He did not go straight to Su Xiao, but walked two meters in front of Su Xiao. This was a normal passing. Casper felt that his current state was simply perfect. This may be his most perfect time. Close to target.

In the eyes of others, the disguise and appearance of the dark wizard Casper were perfect, but from Su Xiao's perspective, it looked completely different.

Su Xiao saw a guy wearing long black clothes, with several lethal rings on his hands, a strong figure, an ancient mask on his face, and a very suspicious appearance, walking towards him. , just write the words "I am an assassin" directly on the body.
