Chapter 253: Breaking the Army's Heart
Desire, itself is a neutral word, it is only a manifestation of the instinct and nature of living beings, a reflection of needs. But in this isolated town www.biquge.info a magician with far more power than ordinary people, under the temptation of the universal wishing machine, he gave birth to endless desires.
If it is in a metropolis with many capable people and extending in all directions, these magicians are just a drop in the ocean, and no one dares to use magic in broad daylight; If they were just unarmed ordinary people, even in a small village, they would not be able to do anything harmful to the village; If there is no universal wishing machine, their desires can also be controlled by the trade-offs of pros and cons, so as not to get them carried away.
However, the current Liaohai City, the time, the location, the people, all three are not prepared. These three points are destined to be infinitely magnified in this Holy Grail War, all people must have something to ask for, and once there is only what they want in their eyes, people are no longer people, just like the current Zhou Pojun. In the past ten years, he has been known for his bravery, fearlessness and thoughtfulness, and he is second to none in the mercenary world.
From the moment he set foot in Liaohai City, Zhou Pojun was looking at this pearl by the sea. The city has just entered a period of rapid economic development, and although it is fierce and vibrant, it has lost to the lack of foundation, and although it can attract some risk-taking investors, the real big names have not yet entered the market.
Many people think that magicians are not suitable for the current scientific society, and think that they are hiding in remote and remote rural areas, but in fact, the top magic families are often inseparable from the metropolis. Although traditional magicians hate science, several of the top magician families do not have their own industries in the present world, and from ancient times to the present, magic research requires a huge amount of money, and mysterious uncertainty makes it even more expensive than scientific research. Today's Liaohai City may be able to attract the attention of big families, but it is not enough for them to officially settle in.
Therefore, Zhou Pojun's first impression of this place was that there was no threat.
Before meeting Leng Yanru, he deliberately walked around the city, usually in order to disguise himself as a melee magician, he also practiced some enhanced magic, with his powerful magic control level, this circle did not consume much of his time. And what he saw and heard in this circle also confirmed his first impression, but it was still slightly different. Whether in the city or in the suburbs of the city, he could feel the traces of the magician or the magic circle, but there was still a difference between the two.
If the surveillance network in the city is large but sparse, then the suburbs are narrow but dense, and the latter is even more enthusiastic about it than the former. This shows that within the scope of this city, there are at least two magic associations, one in the city and one in the suburbs, and the background of both is not small, and they have formed an effective monitoring of the magic world in Liaohai City, and they are still competing with each other. This conclusion made Zhou Pojun a little more vigilant, after all, he was born in sorrow and died in peace, in such an environment where there were competitors, the progress of the Demon Dao family would be much faster than that of the comfortable ones, and maybe there really were any masters.
Just when he was faintly uneasy, he saw Yingda Oar. At that moment, the two of them looked at each other from afar at the end of the alley, and although they didn't do anything, their blood seemed to be about to boil. Just from the young man's eyes, he could tell that it was his own kind. For some reason, hiding his true side under the skin of the public, but still turning into a ghostly wolf in the middle of the night, releasing his desire for freedom to the fullest, that young man and his Zhou Pojun are such people.
He could even hear his own restless heartbeat, and the voice sounded like it was saying, "Go kill that little imp!" Go and battle him down, it's going to be a heart-pounding battle! But he still didn't, as a mercenary, he was still bound by credibility at that time, and he had to be responsible for his words and actions. So he couldn't wait to follow Leng Yanru to the Green Gold Group, and even sneaked into the office quietly to "visit" the conversation between Gao Tianming and Claude.
After this, however, his heart was filled with the anger of being deceived. This is the so-called leader of one of the three major associations in Liaohai City? This is the titular leader of the magic world in Liaohai City? Maybe this guy named Gao Tianming is an excellent businessman, and he can even be a sophisticated politician when he enters the officialdom, but this guy has nothing to do with magicians. Gao Tianming does have proficient magic skills, and his magic control can be regarded as entering the house, but Zhou Pojun will never admit that he is a high-level magician. An ordinary person who can only see the magic world is a madman, and a magician who only sees the world in his eyes is a fool.
Zhou Pojun even felt that he was so stupid that he was hired by such a guy to believe the lies made up by a third-rate magician in a small seaside town. But in order to protect his reputation, he can only endure it first, and it is not good to kill him at will. However, after seeing Claude's "collection", his mind changed again.
Tai'a Sword is not an imitation, nor is it a counterfeit of other famous swords of the same era, but a genuine Tai'a Sword. When Zhou Pojun was young, he had seen the drawing of this sword in his family, and it was exactly the same, even the unique design of some key parts was the same. This is really a sword, and it is a unique treasure in the world, whether it is for ordinary people or magicians. And since Claude is willing to use such treasures as holy relics, it shows that he believes that this "Holy Grail War" ritual can really summon a universal wishing machine. Although this kid's magic attainments are average, he is also the heir to orthodox European magic, and he should also have a minimum of judgment, since he chooses to believe, then this ritual may really be successful.
After making such a judgment, Zhou Pojun confirmed his goal - the central axis of the earth. Whether it is the enemies he has made over the years, or the family that has expelled him, or the embarrassing living conditions, these are all things that can force the hero to death, and if he wants to solve any of them, he will be aggravated by the other. And in the face of the almighty wishing machine, these are no longer a problem.
There is only one thing that Zhou Pojun needs to do now, that is, like he did when he exterminated dozens of magicians, he used the best necromantic magic to blend in with the enemy, let them kill each other, and let himself win the final victory.
