The Black Knight from the Blue Planet

After dinner, it was still early.

Southerners have a habit of nightlife. The city is at its busiest at this time, with people everywhere on the streets and dense billboards flashing colorful neon lights.

Those who go shopping, dance in the square, and do live broadcasts on the street.

There are people everywhere.

It is more prosperous than any city in the game.

Hardy looked at these scenes with some nostalgia. He thought that after entering the game, he would never see such a situation again in his life.

But I didn't expect that things in the world are unpredictable and that I would be able to come back one day.

Tiana hugged Hardy's arm, looking like a little bird clinging to him.

Because she was a head taller, this situation seemed a bit strange.

"What are you going to do next?" Tiana asked.

"Let's do an experiment." Hardy thought for a while and said, "Buy some white paper first, and then buy some things from the grocery market to see if you can replace the magic materials in that world."

"OK."

Tiana smiled.

Now that she was with Hardy, she felt very content.

In the game world, not to mention the pressure brought by the two succubi, the beautiful elf Lulu alone can make Tiana feel ashamed.

So although she also likes to interact with Hardy in the game, she always feels like a marginalized person.

But now that this was her home court, she felt that she was truly with Hardy.

She took out her mobile phone and started searching for nearby maps. Although neither of them were familiar with Me City, as long as they had their mobile phones, they could have a certain understanding of any unfamiliar city.

After looking at the mobile phone, the two first went to buy three stacks of white paper of different sizes, and then went to the grocery market to see if there was anything that could replace the magic materials in the game.

Thanks to the weak magic in the air, Hardy can use limited mental power, enough to check whether the things on the grocery market are magical.

Hardy looked at everything from dried goods to herbs to all kinds of strange mummies of small animals, but... nothing was usable.

None of them contain magic power.

Maybe, but it was so faint that Hardy couldn't even feel it.

If you can't feel the magic power, you can't call it, and you can't make a magic scroll.

Seeing Hardy's obviously disappointed look, Tiana thought for a while and said: "How about... let's go to the urban village in Me City. Although this village is very local and modern, it also retains some local traditions. , I heard there is a place that sells traditional white and red groceries.”

"Oh, let's go take a look."

Hardy didn't have much hope, but he still wanted to try.

What if we can really find it?

The two took a taxi to the nearest urban village. The taxi driver was very talkative.

Perhaps because he saw Tiana looking beautiful, he always talked to Tiana.

After chatting for a while, Tiana asked: "We are from the north. I heard that the traditional rituals here are very effective. Master, can you introduce them?"

"You're talking about this... Then you've asked the right person. Those of us in this field all know that there is a man named Master Li in the village in Boyun District. I heard he is quite capable! Many people died tragically in traffic accidents. Everyone goes to Nanzhai before being cremated!"

"Nan Zhai?" Tiana was a little confused when she heard this word.

"It's similar to transcendence, but a little different. It's a common custom in Guangdong and Guangxi." The taxi driver smiled and said: "If you want to buy some things for the ritual, just go to him."

It has to be said that taxi drivers are well-informed people. After getting his guidance, Tiana and Hadi quickly found the Buddhist ritual shop in the urban village.

The old black wooden door and the signboard are also black. Although LED lights are used in the house, which is very bright, the appearance of red candles, red paper ingots and other objects still fills this small store with a mysterious and old-fashioned atmosphere.

There was a middle-aged man with a flat head sitting inside scrolling through his mobile phone. When he heard the voice, he raised his head and was a little surprised to see a beautiful woman and a handsome boy.

"What are you here to buy?" The middle-aged man said with some confusion: "If you are visiting, that's fine, but you can't take pictures!"

Tiana walked up to the other party and asked, "Why are you not allowed to take pictures?"

"This is a place that sells white goods. It's easy to take pictures of unclean things." The middle-aged man spoke calmly. He had told these explanations to countless people since he was a child: "My father That’s what you taught me. As for whether you believe it or not, that’s your business.”

Tiana found it a little funny: "What age are we in, and still..."

Then she turned her head suddenly and saw Hardy's expression was strange.

"Really?" Tiana felt a chill running down her spine.

Hardy nodded, then shook his head: "It's a little different, but it's not something dirty."

Hardy's words were not loud, but when the middle-aged man heard them, he pursed his lips and laughed.

I think this young man is very 'pretentious'.

Although he was in the white business, he never believed in these things.

But for the sake of business, he had to say this.

Hardy ignored the other party and pointed to the yellow papers and ingots: "Give me two copies of each."

"Thank you, the total is one hundred and forty-six yuan."

Tiana paid for it, so she subconsciously muttered: "It's quite expensive."

"I can't help it. I made these things by hand." The middle-aged man said sternly: "They are not printed with a machine. If there is a lot of heart in them, it will look more honorable to burn them. Of course they will be more expensive. .”

If it is purely handmade, it is indeed not expensive.

When the two of them went outside, Tiana asked, "Is it the real thing?"

"Let's talk about it when we get back."

The two left the urban village and took a taxi back to their home where "life is short".

Hardy placed both the yellow paper and the ingot on the table.

"There is indeed something attached to these two things." Hardy sat down and said with a smile: "But it's not magic power, but spiritual power."

Tiana was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is that shop owner really an 'expert'?"

Hardy shook his head: "It's not him, there's someone else."

As a spellcaster, Hardy can distinguish the fluctuations and sources of mental power.

"Will that work?"

"Try it."

In the eyes of mages from other schools, spiritual power is spiritual power and magic power is magic power.

One is drive and the other is energy.

is different.

But in the view of E.P.R., any energy and matter in the world can be converted into each other, including spiritual power.

Without enough magic and spiritual power as a catalyst, it is almost impossible to convert matter into magical energy.

But on the other hand, it would be much simpler to decompose mental power into magic power.

"Repairing severed limbs is a simple and easy-to-learn magic in the mage system."

Hardy took out several large bowls from the kitchen, filled each with about half a bowl of water, and then dipped the yellow paper and ingots into them.

Then lay a piece of white paper next to it.

Tiana watched quietly from the side, her eyes shining.

She felt like she was about to witness the birth of a miracle.

After waiting for a while, Hardy dipped his index finger into each bowl, and used the water that dipped into yellow or turned into light silver to draw lines on the white paper.

As the strokes came down, an irregular geometric figure was quickly formed, white and yellow, which was very beautiful.

Moreover, this drawing is faintly emitting a shimmer.

"Did it succeed?" Tiana asked.

Hardy nodded.

"You are so powerful." Tiana's expression became more and more admiring.

She understood very well how powerful it was to cause such a miracle in this world.

"The scroll was successful, but the effect was not very good." Hardy sighed and said: "The magic power is too little, and my mental power has also been affected. The effect of this scroll is only one-tenth of the standard."

Tiana asked: "How far can that be achieved?"

"There's no way to make a hand or a leg grow back." Hardy thought for a moment and said, "But I can still make a finger grow back."

Tiana hugged Hardy and kissed the boy's face, and said in a soft voice: "That's pretty awesome, okay. Judging from your expression, you don't look very satisfied."

"It's not me who is great, but those who make yellow paper and paper ingots." Hardy pinched his chin and said, "I can't think of anyone who would be so generous in this desert of magical elements. Squander it for someone else to use.”

"Let's investigate."

"Do you have connections?"

Tiana smiled and said: "As the daughter of a capitalist, I also have some connections. Although I can't do anything great, I can still do it by asking people to help me check other people's details."

"How much time is needed?"

"Ten days and a half are still needed without alerting the enemy." Tiana thought for a while and said, "Actually, we can also ask directly."

"Will the boss answer that?"

When Hardy thought about it, such a powerful ability must be hidden.

"In this world, money is very useful."

Tiana turned on her mobile phone and showed her bank balance.

Hardy counted eight zeros!

It's really awesome.

"Hardy, what are your plans next? Should you go back to the game, or stay here for a few days."

Hardy smiled: "Stay here for a few days, Petola and Sophie will take good care of my health there."

"Really?" Tiana hugged him tightly.

At this moment, Tiana's cell phone rang.

She thought it was Dove's call and muttered: "Why did the little girl come so quickly!"

As a result, when I picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID, I looked a little nervous.

She looked at Hardy and said, "It's my dad's video call."

"Then I'll hide in the kitchen first."

After saying that, Hardy quickly walked into the kitchen.

Tiana hesitated to speak, but actually she wanted Hadi to stay here.

After waiting for a few seconds, Tiana answered the video call.

She took the lead and said with a smile: "Dad, why do you have time to call me?"

"Your uncle said that you left the company in a hurry this morning and didn't ask for leave." The old man on the phone said slowly: "The aunt at home also said that you were in a hurry and looked very anxious. I asked someone to check your identity. I found out that you bought a ticket to Me City, what happened to you?" (End of Chapter)
