Chapter 35: Magic (2)
Coming out of the gate was a man, who looked no different from an ordinary earthling, but he was wearing very shabby linen clothes, which looked like some kind of prison uniform.
There appears to be a thin membrane on the outside of his body, making it impossible for the water pressure to act directly on his body.
When he saw the underwater world in front of him, as well as those undersea bases made by the Federation, his face showed a look of curiosity.
"Strange metal shell, no fluctuations in magic are felt, but there is light."
"Biodetection."
"There's no living creature in there."
But at this moment, three engineering robots had been launched from the base, swimming at high speed towards the prisoner's location.
"Huh? Puppets? I still can't feel the magic fluctuations, it's a strange world. Seeing the engineering robot come to him, a capture net was sprayed from the robot's body, heading towards the prisoner's cover.
"Stupid creatures, trying to challenge the majesty of the mage?" I saw that the prisoner raised his palm, and the endless cold air diffused from his body, surging towards the surrounding seabed in an instant, like an ice lotus blooming, freezing all the buildings within a radius of a kilometer, including the engineering robot.
Seeing that the enemies around him had been cleared, and the prisoner-like man, a smug smile appeared on his face, and the next moment, he had already risen into the sky and rose towards the sea.
As he ascended, his figure gradually became transparent, until it finally slowly disappeared.
……
At the moment when the man appeared. Li Anping, who was far away in Tianjing, had already received the news.
The information was transmitted to his mind through electromagnetic waves, and then he restored it to a three-dimensional portrait before his eyes.
"Why would humans come from the White Land?" Li Anping frowned: "Is it a demon that looks like a human?" Is it a coincidence that Higram is luring the Nian Qi incarnation away at this moment? Or was it premeditated? ”
Li Anping's ears remembered the voice coming from the man's mouth again. It was the last voice recorded by the surveillance equipment, but it was completely inaudible to what the other party meant.
"Is this your language? What does that mean? ”
Li Anping thought about it, but unfortunately there were too few clues and did not draw a conclusion.
At this time, Bai Xinghe's image appeared in front of him: "My lord, we have temporarily lost contact near the boundary gate, do we need to send someone over?" ”
"Not yet. When I catch Higram, I'll let the Nianqi avatar go over first. Li Anping commanded, and he looked at the prisoner man in the three-dimensional image. said coldly: "Find this guy who came out of the boundary gate first, and catch him." ”
"Yes."
The last picture in Li Anping's image, the base that was gradually destroyed, frowned: "It's still careless." Originally, the seabed was not suitable as a combat environment for other people. Originally, I thought that it would be enough to let Nian Qi incarnate as a guard, but I didn't expect that something went wrong, and the key was that there was a shortage of manpower for undersea operations.
It seems that this aspect needs to be strengthened. ’
At the same time, thirty prophetic satellites surrounding the entire globe were fully operational, and began to search for the man in prison uniform that appeared in the picture.
The man's profile picture appeared in the police, on the Internet, in the news. However, the government did not reveal the man's true identity, but said that he was a capable fugitive. Possess a strong aggressiveness.
……
The northern part of the Codex Country, the Death Zone.
Shang Tian looked at the newly wanted warrant that appeared on the Internet and laughed: "The opportunity has come." Let's go, Cudia, let's go to World One. ”
"Is it finally possible?" Kudia stood up, stretched his waist, and made a clanging sound all over his body: "But what about Li Anping's side, his mental qi incarnation may return to the Crossing Gate at any time." ”
"So we're going to hurry." Shang Tian quickly tapped on the keyboard and called all the members of the team he had already selected: "Now that Li Anping has temporarily lost the monitoring of the crossing gate, as long as we seize this opportunity to enter, he will not know that we have passed." I'm afraid we won't encounter this kind of coincidence again in the future. ”
A few minutes later, Shang Tian, Kudia, and more than a dozen men and women had already set off towards the location of the Crossing Gate.
On the other side, the man who came out of the gate had arrived in a small town in the northern part of the Codex Kingdom after several hours of flying.
Looking at the very 'bustling' town in front of him, the buildings built entirely of reinforced concrete, the man remained invisible and quietly sneaked in.
In a private house, he glanced at the corpse at his feet, it was a blonde woman, but at this moment her face was blue and fell to the ground, and her body still exuded a cold air.
Beside the woman, on her knees was a man with blonde hair, who was trembling and looking at the man like a prisoner.
"Please, don't kill me."
"The money is in the safe, you can take it."
The prisoner man looked at him boredly: "Isn't it the lingua franca, nor the imperial Chinese, is it a language unique to the indigenous people here?" ”
"I can't help it." I saw him raise a finger, and a white light shot out directly from his fingertips, flying towards the blonde man's forehead: "Try to understand the language." ”
The next moment, the light touched the blonde man's forehead, and then returned to the man's palm and disappeared. Suddenly, he realized that he could understand what the native in front of him was saying.
"Shut up." The blonde man spoke again, already in a fluent codex language: "I have no interest in your so-called wealth. ”
He rubbed his chin and said to the blonde man, "Native, what's your name?" ”
"Henry." Henry said with a shudder, a flash of fear in his eyes whenever he saw the nanny's body lying on the ground.
"You can call me Master Jonah." The man who called himself Jonah said, "Now, I'm a little hungry, so get me something to eat." ”
"I ...... I understand. Henry stood up with some trepidation. Then head towards the kitchen. And Jonah had become a somewhat strange capable man in his mind.
"Damn, shouldn't all the capable ones have already been admitted to the major academies? Where did this madman run out. Although he thought so, the fear in his heart intensified when Henry turned his head and saw that the other party had broken down the nanny's body into pieces that were difficult to see with the naked eye.
Jonah turned his head, looked at Henry with a look of fear on his face, and smiled darkly: "Henry, I'm already hungry." You don't want me to eat one of your arms, do you? ”
"I see, I'll get you something to eat." Henry walked briskly to the refrigerator and said, "Anyway, let's get him something to eat first." ’
I looked at the contents of the refrigerator. He asked Jonah, "Sir, can you eat instant noodles?" ”
"Instant noodles, what's that?" Jonah said, looking at the ceiling light with a curious gaze, "Whatever. Let's have an instant noodle. ”
When Henry came to the living room with a bowl of instant noodles. I saw Jonah quickly pressing the switch on the wall, looking at the lights flashing overhead, showing a thoughtful look.
"Interesting trick." He saw Henry coming with his face, and his nose twitched: "It smells good." ”
And after tasting a bite of instant noodles, his face showed joy: "Not bad, this instant noodles taste good." ”
Seeing the other party eating instant noodles with great pleasure, Henry thought to himself, "Is this guy from the countryside?" ’
But what the other party did next seemed to confirm his suspicion even more. When Henry explained to Jonah. The toilet bowl of the toilet can be pumped out an unlimited number of times. There was obvious disbelief in the other party's eyes.
"Mortal, are you trying to deceive a mage?" Jonah pointed to the toilet bowl and said, "This thing doesn't have the slightest fluctuation of magic, how can it make water out of thin air." ”
Henry tried to explain to him about the water pipes, water pressure, and water valves, but he didn't know the theory himself, so it was impossible for Jonah to explain it clearly.
However, after trying to flush the toilet dozens of times, Jonah had to admit that the mortal in front of him did not deceive him.
"Funny and stupid natives, are you putting all your energy into how to enjoy it?"
In the face of the opponent's powerful force, Henry could only choose to secretly despise the turtle in front of him in his heart.
After researching the house's water pipes, electrical circuits, electric lights, refrigerator, and gas stove in turn, Jonah changed into Henry's pajamas and lay down on the couch.
He thought to himself, 'What a bunch of hedonistic natives. He touched the soft sofa again, and the silk nightgowns on his body: "What a soft chair, and this garment, such a delicate handiwork, I am afraid that even the chief tailor of the emperor did not have such handiwork." ’
However, after a little study of the equipment in the other party's house, Jonah also remembered the reason for this visit. However, he inquired several times in a row, and found that the other party had never heard of the Saint Laurent Empire, the Mage Guild, and Carmel he was talking about. Henry was even more ignorant of the magic that Jonah was most concerned about.
It seems that for them, magic is only something that appears in novels and plays.
'It seems that this continent is very far away from the Empire, and it doesn't even have magical knowledge, it's really a remote place. But the thought of the fact that he was still in a time of obscurity without magic disappeared some of Jonah's worries.
"Since there are no mages on this continent, then I don't have to worry about anything. But don't just listen to the words of this mortal, maybe the mage here is a hermit, and his level is not enough to reach them.
Perhaps, I can meet their king first, no one here knows me anyway, so I can make up a history at will.
If there are mages here, then join them, and if there are no mages, hehe......
After thinking about it, Jonah asked, "Do you have a king here?" What should I do if I want to see the king? ”
Saying this, Jonah's chin was raised high, and he said with a characteristic pride: "As a representative of the Mage Guild of the Saint Laurent Empire, I ask to meet the king of the most powerful country on your continent. ”
'Is this guy crazy?' ’
However, Henry naturally didn't say it on his lips, he thought about it for a while, and said slowly: "If you insist on saying the king's words, there is indeed one, but if you want to see it, I'm afraid it's not easy." I need to talk to the police.
Lord Jonah, will you allow me to make a phone call? (To be continued......)
