Chapter 9: Arad the Great Wizard
"It is said that it is better to see than to hear, and I am honest and don't deceive me!"
Cai Yong sighed: "The information of these civilizations is available in the imperial database, and I have also browsed it. But it's nowhere near as shocking as what you see with your own eyes! In this universe, it is really colorful! ”
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "As Your Majesty said, the infinite time and space of the great universe have infinite possibilities. Maybe ants can develop and form a civilization. ”
Cai Yong nodded slightly: "Yes" said, he sighed: "At the beginning, we were confined to an area the size of a needlepoint, and I never thought that we would be able to see such a scene in this life." But the more I know, the more I feel ignorant. You see these civilizations, their degree of development, their cultural civilization, all have their own merits. It would be nice to be able to experience it in person. ”
"Bo Jiaogong will have a chance in the future, and he can travel in the Great World of All Races." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "These civilizations are all connected to the empire, they are friendly countries, and it is very convenient to communicate. ”
"Not bad, not bad." Cai Yong said with a smile: "I have this intention to wait for this matter to end, and the old man will not go back for the time being, so he will travel here." ”
Talking, chatting, eating and drinking were all in the aircraft, and by noon on the third day, the group finally arrived at the last civilization in the south that had dealings with the empire - the wizard civilization.
The wizarding civilization is a very powerful civilization, they explore the mysteries of the world, dig out the underlying knowledge, and everyone who becomes a wizard is a scholar.
This civilization does not have an army, but every wizard is very powerful.
Some wizards can even participate in and win a civilization war on their own! So basically no civilization will provoke the wizard civilization for no reason.
And the wizard in the wizarding civilization. They are all 10,000-year-old houses, and they won't go out when they're free, and if they don't have to, they'll hide at home to do research. Therefore, there are few contradictions and disputes between the wizard civilization and the surrounding civilizations. Otherwise, this area. I don't know how many civilizations will be suppressed by wizard civilizations.
The empire's array system was researched and created based on the magic circle technology of the wizarding civilization.
It's also very surprising to say that when the basic magic circle technology was exchanged from the wizarding civilization, the empire only used a copy of the Tao Te Ching.
But for wizards, knowledge is the most valuable.
And the Tao Te Ching has made wizards civilized many great wizards. All amazed. Because a lot of the truth and knowledge in it is what they crave.
For the Empire, although the Tao Te Ching is mysterious, it is not as useful as a formation system at the moment. Therefore, in that exchange, everyone took what they needed, and it was not possible to talk about who suffered.
The flying machine landed outside the city in the center of the wizarding civilization.
This wizarding city, the buildings in it, are all spired towers. The exterior of these towers. All of them shimmered with a variety of energy radiance. They vary in height, some as tall as 100 feet. Some are only more than ten zhang. And depending on the color, the materials used in the building are also different.
Some of these towers are suspended in the air, while others are based on the ground.
"Uncle Gong,"
Zhao Yun looked at this tower city and said with a smile: "Every tower here. It represents a wizard. The taller the tower, the more powerful its owner becomes. Those suspended towers, the great wizards among them, are even more outstanding super powerhouses. ”
Cai Yong bowed slightly, raising his eyes to look at this different scenery. In a good mood.
"Let's go into the city, first go to the Empire's office in the wizarding civilization, and then learn some information about the civilization on the side from the wizarding civilization, and then move on." Zhao Yundao.
Cai Yong waved his hand and said, "You understand the situation, you can arrange it." ”
When I entered the city, there were not many pedestrians on the ground. And most of them are people from foreign civilizations, but the personnel of the wizarding civilization itself are very rare.
Even if you can see a few, they are all wearing cloaks, and their faces are not visible.
"A lot of wizards like to wear cloaks, it should be their habit."
"Bo Jiaogong, please see, many of the shops next to this road were established here by foreign civilizations. The wizarding civilization itself has very few shops, but the goods sold in them are highly sought after. ”
The urban pattern of the wizard civilization is very simple and simple. The city is full of greenery and the environment is excellent. The street is made of bluestone, and the houses on the street, high and low, are all made of wood.
But these wooden houses, with occasional flashes of energy, are not ordinary.
Along the way, I occasionally saw the shops opened by wizards, and there were often many people queuing up to buy goods, which also reflected the demand for wizard civilization products from the side.
"Bo Jiaogong, that is the area where our Origin Empire has set up shop." Zhao Yun pointed to a row of wooden houses in front of him.
Cai Yong looked up and said with a smile: "It seems that our Origin Empire is also quite popular here." ”
"That's it." Zhao Yun was fortunate and said, "The space equipment produced by our empire is extremely popular among all civilizations in the Great World of Ten Thousand Races. Here, of course, the situation is so-so. Because of the wizard civilization, space equipment is also produced. But the specialties of our empire, especially the ingredients, are the most popular. As far as the current wizarding civilization is concerned, a large number of ingredients are purchased from the empire every year, especially high-end ingredients. ”
"You see, that's the restaurant opened here by the merchants of our empire, and it's always full."
Cai Yong looked at it and nodded again and again.
The specialties of the empire, especially the ingredients, are high-energy ingredients.
It contains the most easily absorbed energy, and perennial consumption can imperceptibly improve people's physical fitness.
Of course, it's not that other civilizations don't have this kind of high-energy ingredient. Some civilizations, such as wizarding civilizations, have some high-energy ingredients.
But the high-energy ingredients of these civilizations are far less popular than those of empires. It takes a lot of effort to cultivate high-energy ingredients, and there is no possibility of popularization.
In this respect, the Empire is extremely advantageous.
Because the crops and livestock of the empire are all produced by the system, as long as the conditions are met, they can be popularized and produced in large quantities.
Walking through this row of wooden houses, the office set up by the empire in the wizarding civilization is in front of you.
Knowing that Cai Yong arrived, where did the staff in the office dare to slacken? looked at Cai Yong with admiration one by one, welcomed him in, and entertained him.
After the meal. Cai Yong was going to visit the official institutions of the wizarding civilization to inquire about the situation of the civilization on the side.
The official external structure of the wizarding civilization is still very simple.
A wooden house, that's all.
It's just a little bigger, though.
Walking into the lobby of this wooden building, it is deserted and lonely.
I saw a middle-aged man in a robe with a messy beard behind a counter against the wall in the room. I was looking at a tome, looking at that look, and I was fully engaged in it.
Zhao Yun was about to come forward to negotiate, but was stopped by Cai Yong.
"Don't bother, he's immersed in books, and we can't be rude. Let's wait a moment. ”
"Yes."
So Cai Yong and Zhao Yun, together with two personal guards, sat down on the rattan chair next to them and waited.
An hour. It's dark in two hours!
Zhao Yun frowned, his face a little helpless.
He wanted to open his mouth many times to wake up the wizard, but was stopped by Cai Yong.
The light outside the door became dimmer and dimmer, and at this time, the wizard finally put down his tome and raised his eyes to look at Cai Yong and his party.
He nodded slightly, and his expression was extremely friendly. I saw a halo burn from his fingertips, and gently put it on his forehead. Then his voice rang out clearly in the hall.
"I'm sorry. Distant guests, I roam in the ocean of knowledge, immersed in the harvest. I'm glad the general didn't wake me up, and I have to thank you."
He looked at Cai Yong, slowly walked out of the counter, saluted, and said, "You are a university scholar." I can see that the light of wisdom around you is so dazzling. ”
Cai Yong stood up and saluted, and said with a smile: "You are also a university scholar, and you are under Cai Yong." ”
"You can call me Arad. It is the rotating person of today's wizarding civilization to the external official institutions. ”
Although Cai Yong is not a wizard, as a great Confucian with deep knowledge, he is respected by this Arad wizard.
The two talked about the cognition of the world and the universe from ideology and philosophy.
Until late at night, I still can't get enough of it.
Cai Yong remembered the business at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "You had a good conversation with Wizard Arad today, but you forgot to get down to business. ”
"Oh?" Arad was also stunned and said, "What's the matter?" ”
"That's right," Cai Yong explained the purpose of coming, and said: "Because this civilization to the south of the wizard civilization has not established diplomatic relations with our origin empire, because I don't understand the situation, I want to inquire with you." ”
"I see." Arad nodded slightly, but said, "Your emperor is not doing well, he shouldn't let a scholar go out and run." ”
Cai Yong laughed and said, "I'm also thinking quietly and want to come out and take a look." It is not advisable to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, but it is not advisable to work behind closed doors. Besides, it is also about the marriage of my younger generation, and as an elder, I should go there in person. ”
Arad nodded and said, "You're right, read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, well, it makes sense!" It also made me want to travel. ”
"As for this civilization in the south, hehe, it's extremely strange to say."
Arad smiled: "This civilized person is very inferior. ”
"Low self-esteem?!"
Cai Yong's face was surprised: "How can a civilization that can come across the border and be based on it be inferior?" ”
"But it's true." Arad spread his hands and said with a smile: "This civilization is recognized by many civilizations as the civilization of the lowly. They are extremely self-contained, and after gaining a stable foothold, they do not communicate with other civilizations, and their territory is very closed. ”
"Speaking of which, the civilization of the humble is not weak. They are good at using toxins, some strange toxins, and we wizards are studying them. ”
When Cai Yong heard this, he couldn't help but bow slightly.
If a civilization that can stand on the public world is weak, how weak can it be?
Maybe it's just because of the instinct of this civilized intelligent creature, I'm afraid it's not inferiority, but it's possible to be autistic.
So, what is their attitude towards outsiders? You know, I'm going to go through their territory and go to life civilization. If they aren't friendly enough, it can be a bit of a hassle. Cai Yong pondered.
"It's fine." Arad smiled and waved his hand, "I listened to your words just now, and I was also very quiet. I wonder if you're welcome to come along? ”
"Of course you are welcome." Cai Yong laughed and said, "With you as a great wizard, I don't have to worry about safety." ”
Arad laughed too. (To be continued......)
