Chapter 67: Going Out and Being Attacked
This is the most prosperous area of Xingguan Academy, countless shops, restaurants, and hotels are built here, and it is said to be a street, but it looks like a city. The commercial street is not only huge, but also the people who come and go are very complicated, and there are all kinds of things sold on the streets that extend in all directions. Whether it's utensils, magic tools, or even specialty stores with magic scrolls. This makes Long Ling a little strange, if it is a magic device, it is not strange, although it has not established diplomatic relations with the Apocalypse Republic, but there are often business exchanges between magic tools.
A magic tool is an item that uses magical energy as an energy source. It's a lot like the alternative technology of this world, the world before Long Ling was powered by electricity, and in this world, it was driven by magic energy. And this technology is monopolized by the Republic of the Apocalypse, and although other countries want to develop, they have been struggling to develop without technical support. What is sold to other countries is only some basic magic tools, such as magic lamps, magic amplifiers, etc., and things related to secrets are strictly controlled. It is precisely because the original Apocalypse Republic mastered this technology and created powerful weapons that it unified the originally chaotic eastern part and became the strongest country on the mainland.
Long Ling also entered the store to take a look, there were many things that he hadn't seen before, such as magic energy shields, magic energy swords, and so on. The biggest strength of ordinary magic weapons is not how powerful they are, but their versatility. Everyone has demonic energy in their bodies and can also cultivate, but before the magic technology came out, it was useless for people who did not have the ability to cultivate, it was like guarding huge treasures, but there was no way to use them.
But the existence of magic tools has changed this situation, as long as there is magic energy in the body, you can use it, and if you are equipped with some special magic tools, it can be said that it is equivalent to one more ability. Even if it's just an ordinary magic device, it's much better than the weapons and armor that ordinary soldiers are equipped with, and because of this, basically every soldier has a good fight. Because most of the capable people were in the once glorious Sun and Moon Empire, the Apocalypse Empire at that time was able to sweep through all the countries in the east of the continent and complete the unification and the Sun and Moon Empire.
Later, the Sun and Moon Empire was in civil strife and was divided into the Star Crown Kingdom and the Sun Crown Empire, and until that time, the Star Crown Kingdom still suppressed the two countries with absolute superiority with powerful people. Then, with the development of magic tools, and then after the discovery of the Asian Continent, it joined forces with the Corona Empire to fight against the Star Crown Kingdom, and the desperate counterattack of the Warcraft in the annihilation war of the whole human alliance against the Warcraft decades ago, so that most of the troops of the Star Crown Kingdom who acted as the main force were killed or wounded. After that, the talents of the Star Crown Kingdom withered, and the magic equipment developed rapidly in the Apocalypse Republic, which became the number one country in the continent.
However, the appearance of magic in the academy seems a bit unreasonable, and the attitude of the Star Crown Kingdom towards magic has always been hostile and respectful of ability. Although there may be people in the shadows of the kingdom who can learn magic, it is still rare to see such a bright store on the street.
Long Ling also went in to take a look, the store was not small, and there were many people stopping in it. There are various magic scrolls in an endless stream, and unlike the scrolls that Frost Moon gave him for learning, these scrolls can be used directly as long as they are infused with magical energy, which means that even people who have not studied magic can use them. Of course, the price is ridiculously expensive, and Long Ling's current financial resources can only be seen.
Walking out of the store, Long Ling walked to the map store again, and the map sales point of Xingguan Academy written on the signboard must be the store that the student union said before that it sells maps. Long Ling went inside and bought a map. There is only one kind of map sold in the store, that is, the map of the Star Crown Academy, I have to say that the map is really fine, and all the true distribution and distance are clearly divided, that is, the price is really expensive, a map costs a hundred gold star coins, although the previous task made a lot of money, but it also made Long Ling really hurt a little.
"Black shop. Long Ling looked back at the simple storefront, and couldn't help but shake his head. Maps at this price are certainly not affordable for the average person.
Through this map, Long Ling learned a lot about the situation of the academy. I found a restaurant and sat down, ordered a few side dishes, and began to ponder the map. Now it's completely dark, the streets are bustling with men and women, and business in the restaurant is good.
Each campus is equipped with a portal, which can be connected in both directions. However, the second, third and fourth grade campuses are all together, and only the first-grade campuses are deliberately separated. This commercial street is really big, and judging from the proportion of this marking, it is much larger than Tianlong City. This area, is it a mission hall, how can there be so many unmarked teleportation points? And there are actually magic research school districts and magic equipment research school districts in the academy, and it is not surprising that there is a magic equipment research school area, it seems that the relationship between the academy and the Corona Empire is not ordinary.
"Guest, your dish has arrived, please use it slowly. The waitress said with a smile on her face.
"Thank you. Long Ling replied.
Thinking of the childish face on the waiter's face before, Long Ling thought.
She seems to be about the same age as me, is she a work-study student? In this world, money is still important.
Long Ling touched the map and couldn't help but feel heartache.
At this time, not far from Long Ling, the two men looked at the waiter, nodded to each other, said to settle the bill, and then walked out of the store.
After the meal, Long Ling also carefully looked at the map, basically understood the location and distribution of the college, and walked out of the restaurant after settling the account.
After estimating the time, it was almost eight o'clock and said, "It's almost time to go back." "I want to go and find a place where no one is and teleport back.
Looking left and right, he found that there was an alley next to the restaurant, which was dark, and no one would come to this kind of place at this time, so Long Ling wanted to walk in. The further you go inside, the lighter it gets, and only the moonlight provides a faint illumination.
Just as he was about to reach the end, he could see a path on the left, and Long Ling just wanted to go in, when his steps suddenly stopped, and his spirit was tense. Because he sensed that someone was releasing a faint killing intent in the path ahead. The other side was obviously aware of himself, Long Ling's palm flipped, and a handful of plant seeds appeared in his hand, flung it to the ground, grew wildly, and attacked forward.
A person walked out of the alley with a girl in his hands in his arms, a pair of golden pupils also glowing in the dark night, staring at Long Ling's eyes. Long Ling suddenly felt that the plant that was originally in control seemed to be being controlled by something, and his strength was much greater than Long Ling's, and the vines that had originally attacked turned around and tied Long Ling.
The one who controls the plants!
Long Ling thought in his heart, his hand was not slow, and the thunder flame emanated from all over his body, burning the plant and getting out of control. With the help of the light emitted by the flames, Long Ling could see the man's face clearly, he looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, and his golden pupils looked at Long Ling with surprise. The person he was holding in his hand was the waitress woman who had been in the store before, and she had fainted.
"Who are you, why are you arresting people!" Long Ling shouted loudly, one is to delay time, and the other is to let people outside be able to hear, because judging from the previous situation, the other party's level is much higher than Long Ling, and it is unknown whether a person wins or loses.
The man didn't answer, just looked at Long Ling, and then the same thunder flame as Long Ling bloomed and attacked Long Ling, although Long Ling was surprised, but he couldn't think much about it at this time, resisting the thunder flame. But under the huge level suppression, he gradually couldn't hold on: "Who are you, why are you exactly the same ability as me!"
The man didn't answer, and increased the intensity of the flames, Long Ling's defense was breached, and the electricity passed through his body, and he fell to the ground unable to move, fainting. Most of his clothes were burned off, but he was not injured.
Seeing Long Ling fall, the man withdrew the flames. A man behind Long Ling appeared out of thin air and said, "Ji, what is this person going to do?"
"Kill, he just saw my face, and we must not let anyone else know. The man known as the set said indifferently.
"Understood. The man nodded, and a dagger appeared, and he wanted to do it. With the help of the light of the flames, he saw the waist card on Long Ling's waist, squatted down to check it, his face changed, and said, "This person is a first-year student!"
"What? How can a first-grader come out at such a time? Ji frowned.
"What to do?" the man asked.
"If the first-year student dies, the student council and the bloody team will be very troublesome, so we can only forget it, this time count him lucky, let's go. Ji said this, and walked towards the alley, and the man behind followed, leaving only Long Ling lying on the ground.
Outside the alley, there was no abnormal noise or firelight from beginning to end, and the street was still so bustling.
