Chapter 1077: Investigation (8)

"What is a big bully, now you see it, right?" Leo said, "When they take the initiative a little, even if the technology is still in your hands, they can share the cake in front of you, and if they play the joint-stock system, they will have already swallowed up Santas." ”

"Then why don't you let them steal the secrets a little earlier?" I said, "Anyway, we don't talk about it, Edison should know the general principle." ”

"That's the only way to do it, to make a little less money," Leo said, "but also to earn back in other aspects, simple things are a traverser knows the principle, high-tech is not so easy." ”

"Let's go," I said, "it's up to you to take your next step." ”

I walked out with Sharon Stone, and the men who led us were very skillful and led us to another exit, without running into the negotiators arranged by Edison.

"I feel like they're going to oppress Santas." Not long after I walked out, Sharon Stone whispered to me.

"Even you can see that?" I said, "It's not a good thing for a small organization to have something precious, whether it's technology or secret skills ahead of others, like a little kid walking down the street with a golden bag of money." ”

"Isn't your invention going to make much money?" Sharon Stone said.

"We ......," I laughed, "and that's not all. ”

"Well, you guys from the main plane, that's the trouble," said Sharon Stone, "no wonder they all say that the people of the main plane are cunning, and they have been fighting with each other for too long, unlike us, and they really can't change places......

"This can't be helped, the reason why the main plane is the main plane is because of this kind of struggle, which stimulates the potential for survival," I said, "According to my observation, many planes are actually larger than the main plane, but resources are scarce, and the elemental plane is better, after all, energy is not scarce, but the main plane is rich in resources, raising a large number of people, and no matter how many resources there are, there will be a saturation day, then, competition is inevitable." ”

"The main plane is a novelty," said Sharon Stone, "and I am certainly not used to it if I stay long." ”

"Don't you think it's fun to watch them?" I stopped and asked.

"Observation?" Sharon Stone wondered, "What's there to observe here?" ”

"Intelligent beings dominate the main plane, but they also divide so many organizations within themselves, and constantly fight with each other for their interests," I said, "and in general, wisdom and civilization seem to be slowly improving, but without these infighting, it stands to reason that they should have progressed faster, right?" ”

"Well, you're working on this advanced stuff again," said Sharon Stone, "and I can't keep up with you, but you're right, I want to observe human emotions and communication, human intrigues and struggles." ”

"Then make a plan for yourself," I said, "and sooner or later it will start, by the way, where do you want to go shopping next?" ”

"No," said Sharon Stone, "by the way, what about the bought?" ”

I laughed, "You just found out?" I've put them all into the space props. ”

As he spoke, he took out the big bag and carried it on his shoulder.

"You should carry it all the time," Leo said, "and it will be more deceiving, and make Edison think you're a big stupid guy and let your guard down." ”

"You don't have to pretend to be so hard," I said, "to keep a low profile is not to pretend to be stupid." ”

Back at the Santas shop, the human mage and the five orcs were already waiting.

"Fortunately," I said to the magician, "I'm Bijon Bloodhammer, how many are you called?" ”

"My name is Xenin, Xenin Walden," the magician quickly introduced himself, "these are my companions......

A few orcs nodded at me with some restraint.

Sharon Stone took the bag in my hand and walked in: "You guys talk first, I'll tidy it up." ”

"Can you tell us a little bit about you?" I said, "Looks like you're going through something special. ”

"I'm a wandering mage, and I'm always on the border between humans and orcs," Senin said, "and they're my companions, but in reality, they're mine, slaves......"

Speaking of this, the faces of several people changed slightly.

There weren't many people in the shop, but there were a few, and I said, "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ……”

The clerk immediately took us to the back yard.

There was a small garden in the backyard, not very luxuriant, full of ornaments, and I had a stone table among them, but there were only four chairs, not enough for the seven of us.

I raised my hand and used earth magic to summon a few stone piers, sat down first, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

Sai Ning sat down, still a little apprehensive: "You, what is the matter with us?" ”

I said, "It's rare to meet orcs here, and it's not Santas's, so I want to talk to you about it, and about slaves......"

"Please don't get me wrong......," said Sainin, repeatedly, "I really regard them as partners, but, in order to survive in human society, they must appear as my slaves, otherwise it will cause unease." ”

"Are you ......" I looked at his strength, and then at a few orcs, "Senior magician, there are really not a few slaves in human society, it's really not unusual, I'm just curious, why do you want to treat them as partners?" ”

"Actually, we grew up together," said Sainin, "and they were my mentor's bequeath, but my mentor had quite a few students, and they were jealous that I was going to inherit my mentor's property, so they framed me, and in the days I was hunted down, they protected me, and my classmates, and even my fellow citizens, wanted to kill me, and in the end, I took revenge and regained everything that belonged to me, but I was ostracized, so I had to wander to the border with them, and I was going to join Santas, but found that because of the war, The border is tightly sealed, so I can only find a way to try to get in touch with Santas through the trading market plane...... Unexpectedly, we just completed the right task and met you! ”

The story of Saining is simple and clear, and the narration is very calm, but I can hear the twists and turns, hardship, cruelty and blood.

"I've heard your story," said the werewolf, "and you're a great man who single-handedly defeated the defenders of the Iron Fortress, defeated the Duke of White Iron, and killed a bishop!" But why did you leave the orcs? ”

I said, "What about you?" ”

A minotaur said, "We grew up there, and my grandfather was a Bloodhoof warrior......"

The rest of the people didn't speak, but it was clear that they had all grown up in the human realm, and they had grown up in a mage's tower or territory of a magician.

I suddenly remembered the human slave in the goblin circus on Orc Avenue in Animo City.

There is no need to make any comparisons, I just want to sigh that in the face of racial events, personal encounters are only insignificant episodes.

"So, you, want to join Santath," I said, looking at Xenin, then turning to the five orcs, "what about you?" To join Santas, or to return to the orcs? ”

"I'd love to join, and they're too!" ”

I looked at the five of them.

"We, with Sainin!" The werewolf said, "We have heard too many stories about people like us, who will only be ridiculed and even bullied when they return to the Kalmdo steppe." ”

"Alright then," I said, "I can make a recommendation for you, but I can't make a decision, of course, it's no problem for you to enter the Santas City, it's a little difficult to enter the Mage Tower, Xinin is easy, you five, the strength is still a little worse." ”

"We're going to go in together," said Senin, "and we're in Santas City, and we don't want to enter the Mage's Tower." ”

I said, "Also, if you enter the Mage Tower, I would like to invite you to join my school of Sainz." ”

Senin was stunned for a moment, and I explained: "There are more than 500 magicians within Santas, and they are not exactly the same concept, we have our own schools, the same as the Human Magician Alliance, but we only stand in line based on concepts, and we are still the same externally. ”

"I understand," said Sainin, "thank you so much!" ”

"You're welcome," I said, "with your strength, it's a very easy thing to get into Santas, and at most, it will take a little more time." ”

"With your recommendation, you should ......," Sainin said.

"No, there is no difference," I said, "Santas is still a little different from the circle of human magicians, without the privileges of transgressing the rules. ”

"Obviously, you are." Leo said.

"So, can we go now?" Sainin asked.

I took out a piece of paper, wrote something like a recommendation, attached my own spiritual imprint, and said, "That's right, you can teleport directly from the trading market, however, as an outsider, you may have to go through some detailed investigation, please cooperate." ”

"No problem." Sainin said.

After sending these people away, I suddenly hesitated.

"This is a side quest, I don't see where it's useful." I said to Leo.

"It's unlikely that the plot is simply to send the little brother over," Leo said, "However, I think this kid has spirituality, and his experience is unique enough, and the possibility of being an undercover agent is not high." ”

"Keep an eye on it." I said, "What does your plan say?" ”

"Go back first and deal with the negotiating team of the Wizards' Alliance," Leo said, "give them a little favor first, and then double the earnings." ”

"What about the investigation?" I said, "I didn't come to any conclusions." ”

"Find out the distribution of forces, and then slowly think about how to infiltrate the main plane and recognize Li Guodu," Leo said, "I originally had a plan, but as soon as this kid Yi Dison appeared, he had to change, and the plan will never change quickly......"
