Chapter 5: The Wizarding World as It Really Is

Entering the Wizarding Society branch from the main entrance, due to the narrow window, the wizarding branch is slightly dim, and the severely worn wooden floor and black rock walls amplify this style, dim, mysterious, and no one is allowed to enter, this is the feeling that the wizard will give people.

After entering the door, Su Xiao found that this place was not big, the whole was long and narrow, and the black stone walls on both sides were a little damp.

Walking forward, after walking a few meters away, a window composed of wooden bars appeared in the left wall, the bottom of the window was one meter high and stone, and there were traces of insect moths on the wooden bar, a figure sat behind the wooden bar, his whole body was covered with gray-brown roots, only one face was exposed, and a wooden wheelchair was sitting under him.

Click~

Like a tree trembling, the old face between the roots opened its eyes, a pair of cloudy and dull eyes.

Bu Buwang hid behind Su Xiao, it suspected that this thing would suddenly break through the wooden fence and swallow it in one bite, in fact, this was a wizard, if it was not provoked, there was not much risk.

"You're here."

The old wizard's voice was a little hoarse, and the strange thing was that he didn't ask Su Xiao what his purpose was, and he just said, 'You're here'

"You are?"

Su Xiao was always vigilant, and when he entered the city before, he felt that something was wrong.

"I can only help you join the Wizarding Society, whether you live or die, it has nothing to do with me, the hunter of the Reincarnation Paradise."

The old wizard lifted his hand buried in the root system and handed out a piece of parchment that was about to break.

"Kill 'them' and let the poor people who are bewitched by potions ...... Knowing the truth, they can 'see' the world clearly, but they are indifferent, how can the power of pathetic humanity be so easy to get. ”

The old wizard smiled, bitterly and helplessly.

“……”

Su Xiao basically knew in his heart that there was too little information on this mission, and this old wizard obviously belonged to his own people.

"That's right, I'm one of the few people who is still awake, sign it, and you'll see the world as it really is, and what you see now is just what 'they' want you to see."

The old wizard let go of the parchment in his hand, and Su Xiao grabbed it.

[Hint: The Hunter has obtained the Contract of True Sight.] 】

[This contract is risk-free, and after signing this contract, the hunter can lift the world restrictions.] 】

[Warning: When the restrictions on the world are lifted, the Hunter will see the world as it really is.] 】

[Current difficulty in this world: Lv.10~Lv.52.] 】

[After the world restriction is lifted, the current difficulty of this world: Lv.49~Lv.56.] 】

……

Su Xiao thought for a moment, and finally chose to sign.

[You have signed a contract of true vision. 】

The moment Su Xiao signed the contract, the surrounding environment changed drastically, the walls became dilapidated, the wooden railings were severely corroded, and some positions were about to break.

Dilapidated, decaying, all bright colors eroded by time.

"This is what the world looks like."

The old wizard laughed self-deprecatingly, Su Xiao ignored the old wizard, but walked quickly to the wizard's branch and looked at the street.

The sight was full of dilapidation, the wooden houses were stained, and in some places the wood had rotted into slag.

The pedestrians on the street are yellow and thin, the clothes on their bodies are not only shabby, but also have a lot of patches, the only thing that is similar to before, only the fruits and vegetables on the street stalls, which are tender and full compared to before, now these fruits and vegetables have become shriveled, and some stalls are rotten vegetable leaves.

A few glances turned to Su Xiao, obviously, these civilians had noticed Su Xiao before.

"Young man, do you want to eat?"

An old woman selling fruit picked up a bunch of grapes on the stall, this bunch of grapes has lost its moisture and is about to turn into raisins, but the kindness in the old woman's eyes has not faded because of this bunch of dried grapes, compared to the false 'happiness' that Su Xiao saw before, this is the truth, although poor, but kind.

The whole city changed, and instead of warm sunlight in the sky, dark clouds were thick.

The scene Su Xiao saw before was not an illusion, the little boy, the soldier, etc., all existed, but they were disguised, and this world was full of malice towards outsiders.

"Thank you, not for now."

Su Xiao reflexively returned to the Wizarding Society's branch, and many doubts in his heart were solved, it was not that this world did not allow the development of technology, but that it could not develop at all.

Su Xiao was still strange before, why is there so little information about the world profile this time, and the occult is prosperous? Of course, prosperity, this world can not develop anything other than the occult.

And the rule of the Wizarding Society, no, there is no need to rule at all, the food and clothing of the common people are a problem, who has the heart to rebel?

In other words, the rebellion has a fart use, this is caused by the environment, and it has nothing to do with who is in power, the wizard will only need to maintain the basic order, plus the guarantee of the monetary system, and nothing else needs to be managed, there is no need to worry about it.

Of course, there is no kingdom in this world, and the king is leading the people to prosperity, and in the current situation, the king is not necessary and cannot exist.

Su Xiao was even more curious about what existence had concealed the true face of this world before, and that was not to apply some kind of illusion to Su Xiao, but to cover up everything.

Bu Buwang had reminded Su Xiao many times before that after it blended into the environment, it could smell a smell of decay, and now it seemed that this was a normal situation.

Space, split, Su Xiao suddenly thought of these two points, these two points are not superimposed, but independent.

Su Xiao pressed his forehead, and he felt that he was going to die a lot of brain cells again.

"What you see outside is what the world really looks like."

The old wizard was noticeably older, and his face was covered with fine cracks, like cracks in old wood.

"What causes it?"

Although Su Xiao didn't believe in the old wizard very much, the other party was the only clue to the main quest.

"Because of the existence of 'them', 'they' are sucking the world, like greedy giant babies."

"They?"

"Ah, 'they', the ones who stand at the top."

The old wizard had never had any mood swings, or rather, his emotions had dissipated for some reason.

"Are they the three immortal wizards?"

"No, those three are just poor people, once great poor people, you may soon meet them, in the city of wizards."

The old wizard pressed the mechanism on the wooden wheelchair, and a secret door opened from the stone wall behind Su Xiao.

"You can use it ten more times, you're the 59th, and you've tried it before, and I've tried it with a contractor, an adjudicator, and a hunter, and I hope you'll succeed, or... Die in the City of Wizards. ”

“……”

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the handle of the knife on his waist, he hated it most when others said it was unclear, what 'they', either don't say it, or just make it clear, when he encounters this kind of divine chatter, he is ready to negotiate physically.

Noticing Su Xiao's movements, the old wizard, who had almost no emotion, was slightly stunned.

"Do you want to kill me?"

As soon as the old wizard's voice fell, Su Xiao received a prompt from the Reincarnation Paradise.

[Warning: Hunters are forbidden to damage the Arcane Wizard Theseus Achid, this is an allied unit!] 】

Su Xiao let go of the handle of the knife and turned to look inside the secret door, where a teleportation array flickered on the ground.

Su Xiao now completely understands why the Reincarnation Paradise and the Holy Light Paradise are traded in this world, because this place is so special, or rather, it is precisely this special that the preconditions for the transaction have been reached.

Standing on the teleportation array, Su Xiao's next stop was the Wizard's City.
