Section 120 The Emperor's Capital 25

The infiltration of moisture into the inside of the garment is becoming more and more serious. The specific manifestation is that the clothes are not warm.

Lu Wu deeply felt that under normal circumstances, even if he was not frozen to death, at least he was frozen stiff. But Thomas didn't seem to react at all—the foreigner apparently expected too much from him, so much so that he refused to leave where he was, and waited patiently for him to return.

The problem is, Lu Wu really wants to roar, I don't deserve your big expectations!

Under normal circumstances, Lu Wu would have been frozen to the point of snot by now, and even the snot could turn into two popsicles and hang under his nose. Fortunately, under the control of magic, this kind of humiliating scene did not happen.

But even magic has its limits in the end. Warlocks may be able to move in the cold for a short time, but if it is for a long time, then they can't do anything about it. Compared to the warlocks, Lu Wu, who used the magic ring, was of course even more so.

Although strictly speaking, it is not very long, only a few days. However, the so-called environment determines feelings, and the time spent trapped here is not very long, but Lu Wu feels that he has been frozen for a lifetime.

He's holding on now because he still has access to hot water. That oxygen making machine from another world can provide the effect of heating water. It's the equivalent of providing a kettle for two people – and of course a drink in their mouths. When a sip of hot water goes down to the stomach, you can really feel that your internal organs are not frozen.

By the way, this underground space is not large, but it is fine to leave an area in the corner for excretion. It is said that in the past, when the Red Army was in northern Shaanxi, it could relieve itself outside, and then directly use a shovel to bury the excrement. Lu Wu and Zhu Hua are in a similar situation now - just cover it with snow.

Zhu Hua's situation is better than at the beginning. Under the control of the magic, it is able to move a few times without having a strong reaction.

In fact, at the beginning, the two of them were in the dilemma of looking at each other but having nothing to say. In order to find out the information, Zhu Hua even came up with the idea of "exchanging with each other". After all, at the end of the day, two people are in a hostile position to each other. However, the silence, or dead silence, is unconsciously changing a person. I can't tell exactly when it started, but the two of them began to talk more. And gradually, more and more.

And, perhaps, it's because of the words such as "how do you feel", "are you getting better", "how long has it been", and so much so that you feel tired of it. So the words of the two people slowly became a different thing.

Both men are reminiscing about their own past stories, even as they try to avoid some key points. Lu Wu realized that in fact, the two worlds are actually similar, for example, the formal education age is actually very close. They all started their education at the age of seven. Warlocks also have kindergartens to learn some basic habits and common sense.

Of course, the length of education is another issue. The Warlocks' Academy conducts an assessment mechanism, and each course can be completed as long as the assessment is passed. To use an analogy, you can dedicate grades 1 to 3 to math and grades 4 to 6 to English. Of course, due to the fact that the magic of the Fourth Law of Warlocks has a rather perverted effect on learning (which Lu Wu has experienced firsthand), they don't actually spend as long learning knowledge as they do on Earth.

For warlocks above the intermediate level, it is normal for them to graduate from a bachelor's degree at the age of ten. This disparity in strength makes it possible for a low-level warlock to look up to a high-level warlock. According to Zhu Hua, the magic of the fourth law is a dividing line in the true sense, and those who have not crossed this line have almost no chance of getting ahead. Because low-level warlocks are too far from middle- and high-level warlocks in terms of knowledge, wisdom, and combat strength.

Think about it, you study hard for 20 years, feel like you've achieved something—and then suddenly you find that someone else can reach your level by reading a book for a year or two (or even months). I guess everyone will be hit. The difference between high and low is so clear at a glance that any justification is powerless and stupid.

The appearance of the Magic Ring allowed them to redeem a little bit - but it was better than nothing. After all, this thing is very valuable, and it has the setting of purchase permission. It's one thing to use it for self-defense in case it is, and it's another thing to use it as a daily consumable. There may be people with such financial resources, but even if the whole camp chooses, how many can be found?

So obviously, although theoretically, the lifespan of a warlock is not fundamentally different from that of ordinary people, and even the average lifespan is a little lower (especially for the Stygian Warlock, the reason is clear to everyone), but in fact, a warlock above the intermediate level can use magic to make the brain speed up thinking, so as to achieve "self-time acceleration", and extend their real effective life a lot. According to a popular saying, the real time of a warlock is about a hundred times that of an ordinary person. In other words, a normal warlock's ability to learn is equal to a human who can live for a thousand years.

Therefore, the High Warlocks should not be underestimated - if they are really interested in the academic side, then they have far more wisdom and knowledge than the scholars on Earth do not know where to go. Of course, even those who would devote themselves to war, intrigues, and the like had far more knowledge than the average scholar.

From this point of view, the use of power by the warlocks to determine class is not unreasonable, but very close to the truth. The strong dominate everything, and this "strong" is not only the body, but also the mind. According to Zhu Hua, although on the surface almost all the key technology and knowledge were in the hands of the warlocks, in fact, the warlocks never shelved them and guarded them strictly. Anyone who is interested can collect these knowledge archives - of course, whether they can learn it or not is another matter.

Their topic turned to Lu Wu's affairs on Wage.

“…… So you killed him?"

"No, he committed suicide. Lu Wu told him about the situation at that time. Grumas fell himself. "He did kill people in another world, but that was later. The truth is exactly what J said before. Killing is actually one of the easiest things in the world, just a simple hook of the index finger, or a swipe of a cold weapon, a life is in your hands. The really hard thing is to overcome the bondage that binds oneself in one's heart. "It's not directly related to me. ”

"But he died because of you. ”

The subjective and objective of a person are different. Objectively speaking, what Zhu Hua said is very correct. Although Lu Wu didn't think that he had killed Grummas, he had to admit that his death had something to do with him. Indeed, if he hadn't been forced into that position, Grumas wouldn't have had a nervous breakdown and committed suicide.

"But, that's what he picked up first. After that incident, Lu Wu understood what kind of trap the other party had set. It must be said that in order to be "reasonable and legitimate" and kill Lu Wu without sequelae, Grumas did use a lot of brains. It's a pity that he completely miscalculated the situation. Despite the many arrangements that Grumas had made, it turned out that these preparations were far from sufficient.

Zhu Hua's story is relatively simple. Almost all of the stories she tells are about her own battlefield encounters. She seems to have a great prejudice against the Radiant Moon Warlocks, always emphasizing their hypocrisy and cunning. In her heart, at least in her mouth, the Radiant Moon Warlock was hardly a good person. The Stygian Warlocks are generally single-handed, bold and direct, fighting and fighting, and making peace, deceiving is cheating, honesty is honesty, and rarely dragging mud and water. On the contrary, the Radiant Moon Warlocks are almost always two-ended, ambiguous, hypocritical and cowardly. It is because of this that they become weak and are pressed and beaten by the Stygian Moon.

In her mouth, the commanders of the Stygian Warlocks she met were almost all fools, incompetent, and only knew how to send soldiers into battle to die. And even so, they can still have a certain advantage in the battle with the Huiyue faction.

Although there was obvious prejudice in her concept, Lu Wu listened with great interest. After all, this is to understand the two camps from another angle. In a sense, Amber also has a biased position, but after all, it is preconceived.

In Zhu Hua's concept, the most important point of the Stygian Moon camp is the elimination mechanism. According to the earth's saying, this is called "the capable go up, the mediocre stand up, and the poor go down". Of course, the "bad ones" on Earth are at most just dismissals, but for the Stygian camp, it is far more than dismissal. The incompetent should not exist.

In Amber's mouth, this is a testament to the cruelty, wickedness, and vileness of the Moon Warlocks. In Zhu Hua's mouth, this is an effective measure for metabolism and to put talented people on top. Although there are some casualties, it is inevitable that this is also unavoidable, isn't it?

The Radiant Moon Warlock looked down on the Radiant Moon Warlock for his evil cruelty, cunning and lying, and the Radiant Moon Warlock looked down on the Radiant Moon Warlock for his mediocrity, dullness, hypocrisy, and incompetence.

If Amber were here, it would have turned into a televised debate contest - two people with completely different positions and logics arguing about the same thing. Of course, it is more likely that after saying three sentences, it will evolve from verbal to verbal.

As he spoke, the awkward and delicate atmosphere between the two of them slowly disappeared.

Lu Wu began to tell some things about his college years. These things are very rare for Zhu Hua, who has not been on Earth for a long time, strictly speaking. Her college life, in addition to her brief textbook studies, was filled with a lot of training in combat, magic, and other aspects (as opposed to Earth, which is dominated by cultural learning) and was full of all kinds of competition. In particular, Zhu Hua is still very happy until now. Because if the "devouring" spreads while she is still studying, then she feels that the probability of her being able to graduate smoothly is at least half reduced.

But Lu Wu's story is completely different. Even casual conflicts between classmates and the like don't involve life and death, and they don't involve malicious intent in the true sense of the word (by the standards of a moonman). Even if Ren Jian made rotten fruits into fruit platters and sold them, it was only to make money and not to poison them. If someone really died of food poisoning, Ren Jian couldn't get over it in his own heart. The law of elimination on Earth is so gentle to the Moon Warlock that it is simply light and tasteless. If Zhu Hua was a strong man, he would probably think the same way.

But alas, she is weak. No one likes to be trampled underfoot, insulted and battered by others. If you can't be the winner, you don't want to participate. Perhaps because of this, she listened with great interest.

However, Lu Wu's college story was quickly finished, and there were many impressive things that happened in college, but there were few words. At least not enough for you to talk about for a few days.
