Chapter 5: Magical Technology Reform
"What's your name, little friend?" The old man didn't seem to hear Su Qiran's words, he asked Su Xiaoxiao as if he couldn't see Su Qiran.
"I..." Su Xiaoxiao hid her whole body behind Su Qiran, her little hand tightly grasped the corner of Su Qiran's clothes, she didn't know why, fear exploded in her heart.
"Uncle. Su Qiran accentuated his tone. "It's very rude to beat other people's disciples like this. ”
"Oh?" The old man raised his head, and his face in the shadows was revealed, it was a face that was in the last years of the wind and candles, and he didn't feel the slightest anger. "What do you want?"
"Kiri-chan. Su Qiran smiled, but his smile did not have the slightest warmth.
The air on the old man's left suddenly fluctuated for a moment, like a stone thrown into water.
The cold light swept before the old man could react, and the ring finger of the old man's left hand suddenly "fell".
Blood flows. Su Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind Su Qiran and peeking, turned pale again.
"What do you think I want?" Su Qiran said coldly.
"I was wrong. The old man immediately lowered his head, he endured the pain and did not shout, he didn't even dare to make the slightest movement now, just now the Grim Reaper passed by him, but he clearly knew that the Grim Reaper was beside him.
"Take me underground. Su Qiran said lightly.
"Yes. The old man breathed a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that Su Qiran would let the person in the void kill him without saying a word.
Everything happened here in a matter of seconds, and the others didn't even notice the situation here, the old man got up, took Su Qiran and they left quickly, and after a while, only people with keen senses noticed the smell of blood in the air.
In addition to the prosperity of the streets, in the alleys where there are no starlights, there seems to be fear hiding in the darkness.
Following the old man into the dark alley, after turning an unknown number of corners, Su Qiran successfully found that he couldn't figure out the direction.
"Teacher..."Su Xiaoxiao pulled the corner of Su Qiran's clothes in fear, she didn't know what she was going to do.
"He's a [wizard]. Su Qiran suddenly remembered that he was a teacher, and pointed to the old man leading the way in front of him. "Wizards are good at shadow magic and weird witchcraft, and just now you were affected by the low-level shadow magic [Whispering]. Wizards are very dangerous people, so stay away from the profession of wizards in the future."
The old man in front was very depressed, he originally sensed that Su Xiaoxiao's pure physique could be used as a material for witchcraft, but he didn't expect to cause big trouble.
He was panicking now, and his intuition told him that even if he took Su Qiran to the underground assembly, he might lose his life, but he didn't dare to run away, and the despair of dying just now still made his heart throb.
"My lord, what are you doing underground?" the old man knew he had to do something.
"How much do you know about the Sky Realm?" Su Qiran asked after thinking about it for a while.
The old man was happy between his eyebrows, Su Qiran had a need, which meant that he had hope of living.
"The Great Chamber of Commerce from the Cloud Empire will assemble underground today to auction high-quality [elven] slave girls from the Eternal Forest. My lord, are you interested? I know a steward of the Sky Realm Chamber of Commerce, and I can..."
"Whatever I ask, it's enough for you to answer. Su Qiran said lightly.
The old man nodded hurriedly.
Su Qiran suddenly smiled, he touched Su Xiaoxiao's head next to him, "Xiaoxiao, this is human nature, bullying." ”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded as if she didn't understand.
"So if you don't want to be bullied in the future, you should practice well. ”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
Su Qiran is very satisfied with Su Xiaoxiao's talent, after the little guy experienced [that incident], his heart is not comparable to his peers.
The most important thing in cultivation is talent and mind.
But the only thing he needs to think about now is how to explain to Su Xiaoxiao that he asked her to memorize the "useless" knowledge for a month.
What a headache!
You said that you are a thin little girl, how can you have a talent for martial arts...
Just as Su Qiran was trying to figure out how to make his mistake, the old man stopped in front of a very dilapidated old mansion.
There are no star lanterns here, and the light is provided by the lighting tool of the previous era, the magic stone lamp.
Su Qiran looked at the two magic stone lamps hanging in front of the door with retro patterns for a while.
It's weird.
The magic stone lamp is made of expensive magic stones, and it is a lighting tool that was widely used in life before the [Magic Technology Reform]. Because of the high cost of raw materials, magic stone lamps were only widely used among the upper classes, and ordinary people generally chose kerosene lamps or simply did not turn on the lights at night. After all, the cost of kerosene is not something that the poor can afford.
Later, the [Magic Technology Reform] that swept the world pushed the magic that originally belonged to magicians to the people through the [Eternal Crystal] and [Magic Power Conversion Device], and all kinds of convenient and cheap magic tools sprung up like mushrooms.
In the past, East Street was full of bright lights, and the bright glow of the star lantern was the most widely used magic tool.
The magic stone lamps of the old era were completely eliminated and gradually became the collection of nobles and the memories of some old people.
The two magic stone lamps in front of me, in terms of production technology, are very exquisite, if they are placed in the world, the value is not less than 100,000 gold coins. And the old mansion in front of me is so dilapidated, I'm afraid that with two lights in front of the door, I can buy hundreds of such old mansions.
The old man knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, a crack opened in the closed door of the old mansion.
The black mist permeated out, and Su Xiaoxiao felt as if her whole body was frozen, as if she was in the coldest ice and snow, and suddenly, there was a bright warm current around her.
Su Qiran's whole body exuded a gentle white halo, and at this time, Su Qiran gently held Su Xiao'Xiaoice cool little hand.
"Please come in. A hoarse voice came from the black mist.
The old man who knocked on the door before suddenly felt cold.
Finished.
The next second, he suddenly felt the senses of his whole body abandon him, and finally his vision was covered in bright red blood.
Ignoring the old man who was pierced by the long sword, Su Qiran led Su Xiaoxiao into the old mansion. Su Qiran didn't take a step, the black mist retreated a little, and the gentle white light on his body seemed to be the nemesis of these black mist.
"He's an old friend of mine. Suddenly, another voice came from the black mist.
"You're going to help him get revenge?" Su Qiran suddenly smiled.
"No, he's stupid himself. The voice in the black fog said lightly. "I can see that you are not a murderous person, maybe he took you where you want to go, he could not die, but he brought you to me. ”
"yes, but aren't all human beings like that? Su Qiran smiled.
