Chapter 116: The Wind Rises Under the Green Corner
Although the effect of the magic potion is good, the negative effect is also very deadly - it leads to complete infertility - the kind that the old military doctor and the monk can't cure together!
In contrast, the other side effect: "the road ahead is getting narrower" is acceptable to most people, because they don't know where they can go in the future. Shen Yan felt that the people here valued the offspring more, and they knew how good those adults in Green Horn were to the adopted children.
If they were to choose between becoming stronger and being sterilized, Shen Yan thought that most people would refuse......
"Since there's no trick to getting stronger...... That's even more problematic! Penny's expression on the auditor also became serious - if it was only because of the closure of the Penlin Peninsula that there was a problem with the inheritance of professionals, it was a minor problem. As long as Shen Yan pondered and understood the key to transforming the core skills of the technique, he would be able to quickly "mass manufacture" the master in Green Horn Bay. Then the book on the table will lose its meaning to the real elite, and it will only have some value for ordinary people, and it is not worth the Green Horn to pin all its hopes on it.
But now, it's hard to say - if the whole world is like this, it should be the world itself that is wrong.
The first possibility is that this is a nascent magical world, and the professions have not yet evolved a full-fledged class system - this is possible, but it is very small. Because the ring city has only fallen for 100 years - when the ring city is still around, the worlds are infinitely connected. In a world with a well-developed career system, cultivation knowledge will naturally spread to the surrounding areas. A hundred years is not enough time for such important knowledge to be lost throughout the world.
Then, what remains is the second greater possibility - the gods of this world took advantage of the crash around the city and the various worlds were closed again, and united to seal this inheritance with their own hands - and then left a "magic potion" opening, obviously hoping that the professionals would work in another direction. If this was the case, then even if Shen Yan figured out a way to engrave the core skills, he would not be able to spread it. Even if it's spread privately, it can't be done! Because you don't know if he/she is a believer in a certain God......
Shen Yan would not believe even if he told the truth. Besides, Shen Yan already has a strong enemy that he can't count on one hand, if he doesn't want to force all the gods of this world to the opposite side, it's best to honestly pretend that he doesn't know anything!
It's a headache, it looks like there's some big conspiracy behind this world...... Why can't it be simpler?
"I'll take the book back and read it first, and I'll give you an answer in a few days."

"Knock~Knock~Knock~!"
Shen Yan thought that there was nothing to do recently, and he just happened to develop with peace of mind. I knew that at midnight on the day he and Milton had finished their secret conversation, there was another knock on his door!
"And there's more!" Awakened from his sleep, Shen Yan roared in annoyance. He had to open the door twice in his clothes before he could open the door - he had also locked the inside of the house since the last time Omar had picked the bolt - and then looked at Omar standing in front of the door with an unhappy expression.
"Omar, can we not pick a special time in the middle of the night to talk about things in the future? If you do this again, others will suspect that we have a problem! ”
"I'm sorry, Shen Yan...... Something is wrong! Omar said solemnly.
Only then did Shen Yan notice that it was the first time for Omar to be so solemn. "Wait a minute." He immediately went back to change his clothes and left with Omar.
At the center of the settlement are the core buildings such as the village chief's house, and the residential areas are distributed in the area near the wall. In front of another house less than 500 meters away from Shen Yan's hut, there were many villagers gathered in the middle of the night. More than a dozen torches burned fiercely, illuminating the neighborhood red.
"Let's go!" Omar pushed away the silent villagers and let Shen Yan pass.
As soon as Shen Yan approached the house, he smelled a strong smell of blood! Blood seeped out of the crack in the door and flowed down the crack, eventually turning black and solidifying in the crack in the stone. He walked over the pool of blood without saying a word.
As soon as Shen Yan entered the door, he heard a sharp voice shouting loudly, "It's him, it's him!" Only that evil wizard in our village would do this, he was summoning evil ...... with corpses and blood" Seeing Shen Yan suddenly appear in front of him, Old Vader's voice stopped abruptly! He looked around in a panic, desperately trying to find a place to hide himself. "Mi... Full... Milton, help. ”
Shen Yan glared at the old guy in disgust, and turned his gaze away - if it weren't for the need to let this old bastard carry the black pot when the taxes began to be collected in the summer, Shen Yan would want to kill him directly now!
Inside the room, blood was splattered everywhere, forming an unusually evil-looking circular circle - the corpse of the half-elf archer Garland lay in the center of the circle, looking at the ceiling with wide eyes. The blood vessels in his hands and feet were cut open, and almost all the blood in his body was drained...... Cousin Amagir, who lives with Garland, sits in a chair not far away, also covered in blood, with wounds on his face and wrists, and looks like he is having an emotional breakdown.
The bloody atmosphere in the room was even more disgusting, but those few people did not change their faces, and Shen Yan could only endure it.
He crouched down and looked at the familiar face of the half-elf, and suddenly sighed with emotion...... Don't look at the same team, he doesn't look up every day, but he hasn't even spoken to Garland. If he doesn't take the initiative, the half-elf naturally doesn't dare to take the initiative to talk to the "big man with noble blood". Dragged on and on, and all of a sudden...... There was no chance to speak.
"I want to help you get justice, but I don't know if I'm qualified." Shen Yan whispered to the corpse, and Jia Lan's eyes reflected the fire.
Shen Yan didn't know the deceased and Amajir's cousin very well - from the good things he got back, he never considered anyone outside the Big Four, and he knew that he had limited contacts with people in the village. However, as the second echelon of the village, Shen Yan and others still attach great importance to this pair of cousins. Garland was appointed captain of the village guard, and Amagir succeeded Catherine as the school's archer teacher, all two days ago! Anyone with a discerning eye knows that these two cousins are about to come out, so they know that such a tragedy will happen suddenly......
Shen Yan didn't go to check the scene or anything, sorry, he didn't bring any criminal investigation skills from modern times.
"Omar, did you find any clues?"
"Because there are traces everywhere, but you can't catch the point, so I hope you will come and take a look." Omar confessed. There was blood all over the room, all of them belonging to the two cousins, the doors and windows were smashed, and the attackers had long since fled without a trace...... And the surviving Amagir fell into a coma in the middle of the battle.
When the scene was found, the two cousins were lying side by side in a blood-colored circle, one dead and the other unconscious. If it had been found out any later, perhaps Amagir would have bled to death.
"Is that so?" Shen Yan nodded, and looked around at the few people in the house in turn, Milton, Omar, Tiger, Catherine were all there, as well as Vader and a few villagers, "I roughly understand, now...... Irrelevant people are out! Shen Yan pointed to Vader and said. That's right, I'm targeting you. The old man was mad with anger, but he searched around, but he didn't find any supporters, so he could only leave with hatred. Soon, only Shen Yan, the Big Four, and Amagir were left in the room.
Shen Yan went over and closed the door and whispered, "I already know who the murderer is." ”
In the field of vision, Amagil's blue hat suddenly turned red!
