Chapter 61: Something More Terrifying Than the Fire of Evil Energy...
"What? Can't an outsider be a lady? The co-workers frowned, unhappy at the offense in Hao Shen's words.
"How could she be a woman? No, no, I mean ......" Hao Shen reacted immediately, and quickly explained: "You mistook me for an outsider before, so I thought she was the same as me...... I used to use 'his' ......"
"I told you so." Gonggong frowned and said, "You, like outsiders, are neither from the Immortal Cultivation Realm nor from the Magic Realm. In my long life, I've only seen two such people – an outsider and you. Of course I would think you're one of the outsiders too. Sure, strictly speaking, there's one more in front of me, but I don't believe that an outsider would turn into a good-for-nothing mortal...... Even if she has a weird ...... Weapons? Gonggong said, glancing at Zhao Ran.
"(ni) (ma) (bi)." Zhao Ran looked at the co-workers with a smile on his face, and his brain was jumping and jumping.
"So, how did the outsiders seal the fire of evil energy?" Hao Shen hurriedly diverted the topic, "According to my understanding of the fire of evil energy, even if it is sealed, it cannot resist the burning of the fire of evil energy. I'm curious. ”
"......I don't know," the co-worker shook his head, "the outsider didn't say anything, she just told us something about the evil fire: for example, the evil fire is not the first time it has appeared in this world, and in ancient times, there were some beings who fought against this evil force for the existence of the world. The Evil Fire chooses a Son of Evil and uses the cursed soul to sprinkle the Evil Fire on the earth. Once the Children of Evil are dead, the fire of uncontrolled Evil burns everything—outsiders have said that they have sealed no less than three Children of Evil at one time. ”
"In other words, before that outbreak 100,000 years ago, the fire of evil energy had ravaged this world at least three times!" Hao Shen showed a surprised expression - the power of the evil fire is undoubted, it can be swept in any world, but it has been sealed many times on this planet, which is really beyond imagination. It seems that it is no coincidence that this planet has been able to survive in this pile of cosmic ashes. The methods of these outsiders are really not trivial. "So, where did the outsiders end up? She left? Still is...... He's dead? ”
"She's gone." Gonggong's expression was a little sad, he glanced at Hao Shen, and said: "It was the second day after the seal, she gathered all the surviving strong people to warn us, she said that one day, the fire of evil energy will appear on the earth again, let us pay attention to those omen, and when the time comes, she will appear again to help us seal the fire of evil energy...... Then, as we all watched, she stepped into a golden light and vanished. You know, we don't understand, since the fire of evil energy will reappear, then why don't she just stay, that shattered world needs her strength, and we can see that she loves this world immensely...... But she just left, although she was reluctant, but she did not hesitate. ”
Looking at the lost co-worker, Hao Shen felt that he should comfort him: "Don't be too sad, maybe people have something urgent, right, for example, it's time to send their children to school, and there is still soup at home, maybe they were seriously injured at that time and were about to hang up and didn't want you to see ......"
Co-worker: "......"
Zhao Ran kicked Hao Shen hard below, "You can't say something good!" ”
Hao Shen immediately knew that he had said the wrong thing, looking at Gonggong's gloomy face, he hurriedly activated the skill of diverting the topic again, "What about later?" What about your war with the wizarding world? After the death of a foreign enemy, you fought for the throne? ”
Co-worker: "......"
Zhao Ran screamed sadly and covered his face weakly. This Hao Shen, don't you go through your brain when you speak?
Just when Hao Shen was worried that he had said the wrong thing again, the co-worker's face darkened a little and spoke again, "There is no big war...... After sealing the Evil Fire, the Occult Realm and the Magical Realm have been at peace...... The war you've heard about is actually a lie we have made up. ”
"Why?" Hao Shen and Zhao Ran glanced at each other and asked together.
"Because the fire of evil energy consumes too much living power in both worlds! There are less than twenty of the more than 100 gods left, less than 100 people left in the Thousand Demon Guide Council, and there is not one in ten high-end combat power of the two worlds. Gonggong's lips squirmed, his face full of helplessness, "The matter of the evil fire can't be spread, otherwise it may arouse the interest of some demon or evil mage who doesn't know the height of the sky, and with our residual strength at that time, it is not enough to deter those Xiaoxiao, in case it is a big mistake, it will be all over." Therefore......"
"So you've wove a story?" Zhao Ran smiled dumbly, "Let the immortal cultivators and magicians be hostile to each other, and you will take this opportunity to recuperate?" Who came up with this attention? ”
"It was the idea of the god of the Arctic and a great mage named Haken, who was a famous script writer in the mortal world before he became a monk, and Haken was the owner of the largest drama theater in the wizarding world. They hit it off, wrote together, and wrote this big book. The co-worker shrugged, "The rest of the people didn't think it mattered, so they didn't object." It's all about buying us time anyway, so why bother so much. By the way, in fact, our main purpose is to prevent the masters on both sides from easily going to the sealed place, where the space is very fragile, and we are afraid of accidents. Later, we established the Arcane Ring and established the City of Magic to protect the seal forever. ”
"I see...... What a fart! Sealed in the Magic City? This is almost a business district, and you told me that the city was built on a seal? And there's a portal to the wizarding world, right? Are you sure you're guarding the seal and not punching the seal? Hao Shen jumped up all of a sudden, I'll go, these people are simply ...... Except for death, Hao Shen could hardly think of any other words.
"Ahem, this, it's just looking at the seal, looking at the seal." Gonggong suddenly coughed dryly, and a few wisps of blush appeared on his face, "The seal is not inside the magic city, there is still some distance. There will be no problem with passing through the gate. We, we're helpless. Originally, the purpose of the Magic City was indeed to protect the seal, but then, the spatial holes that were initially scorched by the fire of evil energy slowly gathered, and although outsiders had said that they would disappear after a long time, we could all feel the fragile void......"
In order to prevent this void from drifting around and suddenly opening somewhere, causing the overall spatial instability to affect the seal, the arcane magic ring simply used those holes to build a boundary gate - rather than leaving this uncertain factor alone, it is better to control it in its own hands. After the boundary gate was stabilized, it became a trading channel between the Xuan Realm and the Magical Realm, which was originally not bad, and even the Arcane Ring believed that a stable channel could ensure that in the event of a mutation, both sides could quickly support each other. However, what is unexpected is that in the past tens of thousands of years, the bilateral trade has become bigger and bigger, and more and more merchants have come here, and by the time they wake up and want to ban it, it is too late - countless mages and immortal cultivators have gathered, and there is a great momentum to wave the magic city without retracting the ban.
Then, the magic city became bigger and bigger, from a castle city built on the top of a hill to a magic platform city, and then one floor became two floors, two floors became three floors, business districts, trade areas, residential areas, pieces of land became more and more expensive, housing prices became higher and higher, and then prices rose, in order to balance the prices of the magic city, their anxious hair was almost gray, and in the end they only worked out one way - continue to increase the trade volume between the two worlds, and use a large number of goods and orders to maintain the price of goods, However, the emergence of orders has led to the ups and downs of the futures market, the emergence of leverage has made some people seek astronomical profits, and the corresponding number is the number of bankrupts who jump from the Magic City every year......
"I can't do it, there's no way to ban it at all, once the secret magic ring is banned, it will go bankrupt and liquidated, and we don't know why it has become like this........." Gonggong hugged his head and shouted with grief and anger almost in tears.
“……………”
After a long silence, Hao Shen sighed and walked over to hold down Gonggong's shoulder.
"You ...... Unleashed something even more terrifying than the fire of evil energy! ”
