In the context of this Gotham City crackdown, there is one person who lives exceptionally well.

Robert Cullen, who used to be a greasy middle-aged and cuckold private financial advisor, has recently been a thriving affair with flowers.

Relying on the cash that Leon gave him, Robert took over the scattered shops left behind when the gang collapsed, and used the gold shops he bought earlier as a cover, and used tens of millions of dollars worth of gold nuggets as trading goods to buy a large pile of real estate from the gang's second-in-command who was eager to escape and flee abroad.

Robert, who spent several years in prison and left behind a criminal record, acted cautiously and meticulously, and together with Jimmy McGill, a good friend who is a lawyer, the two helped their employer to grab a cake ten times his total fortune in this feast of dividing up the gang's inheritance.

Murder and arson of gold belts, repair bridges and roads without corpses, this ill-gotten wealth made Li Ang instantly add more than a dozen dance halls, nightclubs, restaurants and hotels, and even steel mills, automobile factories, and chemical factories to his name, turning him into a veritable industrialist and billionaire.

At this time, in the basement of Williams Manor, Leon was flipping through the occult books written by Rebecca and Constantine.

The classical school of occultism, inherited from the ancient Greek speculative philosophy, generally believes that the origin of the world is a mysterious existence called the "Great Source".

Great sources are everywhere, running through the entire world like dense veins, exuding a special factor called "ether" from the inside out.

The best of humanity can sense the aether in the air, and the gifted can even use their own bodies as a conversion circuit, using the aether emitted by the Great Source for their own use, making it a magic that can be used by humans.

Such gifted people are called wizards, mages, magicians, and the like, and the conversion circuit in their body is called the magic circuit.

"The magic circuit in Western occultism is roughly equivalent to the meridians that Eastern cultivators use to absorb the aura of heaven and earth," Li Ang frowned and commented: "Communicating heaven and earth, turning the great power of heaven and earth into one's own use, in this regard, Eastern and Western monks are the same. ”

The difference is that the Eastern cultivator can discern himself, create a sea of qi in his body, contain the spiritual energy, and wait until the sea of qi is gradually full, and then compress and liquefy the spiritual energy to build the foundation.

The occultists of the West, who pursued the truth, embarked on a different path of development.

They believe that as long as they continue to open up new magic circuits in the human body, they will naturally expand the sphere of influence on the ether (i.e., Reiki).

"This process is equivalent to the expansion of the meridians in the body by the Eastern monks, so as to facilitate the communication of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

In short, if the Great Source is regarded as the ocean, then the mage is equivalent to a water pump, and the magic circuit is equivalent to a water pipe.

The more pipes, the more water is pumped out; And the higher the quality of the water pipe, the greater the water pressure.

The number of magic circuits can be increased by one or two artificial circuits that can be acquired, and the strength of magic circuits can become strong and flexible through the accumulation of connections.

"This process is equivalent to refining and refining qi in the cultivation path, strengthening the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, and preventing yourself from being overwhelmed by the overflowing aura in the process of casting spells."

Against this backdrop, some occultists have discovered that there is a limit to the magic circuits in the human body.

Twenty magic circuits can be regarded as high-end talents, thirty can be called outstanding talents, rare, and forty can compete with the romantic figures in history.

In addition, wizards have discovered that magic circuits can be inherited as a "gifted gift".

For example, Constantine has twenty-five magic circuits, and if you trace the roots, you can roughly trace all the way to the Arthurian mage Merlin - of course, this is a diluted blood relationship for countless generations.

For example, Rebecca, as an old witch who lived for more than 200 years, has 31 magic circuits, which is amazingly gorgeous, and her ancestors can be traced back to the ancient Greek period, a prophet who could communicate with the gods in the temple of Field.

If a wizarding family can always maintain the legitimacy of the bloodline, or marry other wizarding families with noble blood, the talent of the magic circuit can be inherited forever, and the children and grandchildren will be endless.

It is ridiculous to say that the way that the self-proclaimed noble wizards inherit their talents coincides with the breeding methods of cats and dogs, and pay attention to the eugenics of a bloodline theory......

Oriental monks also recognize the factor of talent, such as the spiritual root in the "Huang Ting Jing", "The jade pond is filled with clear water, and the spiritual root is strong and old", and the life grid such as "Extreme Departure from Mingge" and "Purple Mansion Tonggong Ge".

However, the Oriental monks who took the slogan "Princely General Xiangning has a kind of" never believed that talent was the only element of cultivation, even if the talent was clumsy, as long as they had great perseverance, great wisdom, and great fortune, they shouted "My life is up to me, not to the sky", and they could not force themselves to step out of a broad road.

Secondly, Eastern cultivators will never agree with the theory of natural inheritance.

The bloodline theory concocted by the feudal rulers in order to maintain the continuity of orthodoxy is not worth it in the eyes of the monks, and I am afraid that only those petty bourgeoisie who have invaded the brain marrow with "aristocratic plots" and the Indian third brother with a deep-rooted caste system will believe in such nonsense as the bloodline theory.

Li Ang thoughtfully put down the stack of thick papers in his hand and muttered to himself, "Although this Western wizard has a slight sense of going astray, their magic circuit system is quite interesting. ”

He opened his spiritual sense, and with the blessing of the Guanglong Ten Directions Locking Spirit Array, he examined the spirit bodies of Rebecca and Constantine in the blink of an eye, and copied the magic circuit of the two in his mind.

Leon closed his eyes and transcribed a huge amount of information in his mind.

After a few moments, he opened his eyes and ran to the neatly stacked set of forging equipment in the corner of the basement to begin refining the magic weapon.

He melted the steel pipe he had bought before and cast it into a solid square, and without waiting for the surface of the red iron to cool, he used the aura absorbed by the Guanglong Ten Directions Locking Spirit Array to engrave magnificent patterns full of Western occultism on the iron with a carving knife.

"The magic circuit in the human body is the bridge to communicate the ether, and as a physical mortal, there is a limit to the amount of ether that each magic circuit can hold,"

As he spoke, Leon slit his thumb with a knife and dripped red blood down the lines into the iron.

"If you can use the magic circuit as a brush stroke with the blood of the monk and reproduce it on steel..."

Rebecca and Konstantin's glasses widened, and they gradually understood what Leon was doing,

Cast an ignorant piece of iron into a weapon with a magic circuit,

The Guanglong Ten Directions Locking Spirit Array absorbed the aura on the sea, and the majestic and vast ether poured into the iron, making the steel squeak.

After a long time, the iron gradually cooled down,
