Chapter Eighty-Five: Non-Humans
Stanley and Wu Zhi came to the training ground together, but as soon as they walked here, Stanley was startled by the scene in front of him, you must know that they came from a completely closed base before, but when they arrived here, it turned into a beach, all kinds of humanoids wearing bikinis and beach pants walking around here, this place is not a training room at all.
"This is what you call a training room?" Stanley looked at Wu Zhi suspiciously.
"Well, here it is, what do you think it's going to look like? A ring? And then all kinds of gym equipment? Come on, it's just kid's stuff for the non-humans here. Wu Zhi shrugged, but Stanley could still detect a hint of a smile.
"Are we still in San Francisco?" Stanley asks the key question.
"Of course ~~~ is gone, haha, this is an island carved out by the Supreme Mage for these peace-loving humanoids, and it is surrounded by a magic array, so even vampires can bask in the sun and swim here." Wu Zhi continued to explain.
Now Stanley was even more puzzled, logically speaking, he shouldn't know about such a thing as an outsider, why would Wu Zhi do this? What about bringing him to such a place in the name of a contest?
"Who is the Supreme Mage?" Stanley asked with a blank look on his face, of course, he still knew who the Supreme Mage was, after all, when he traveled to this world, it happened to be not long after Doctor Who was broadcast.
"You'll find out later." Wu Zhi smiled and didn't say it explicitly, but in this way, the doubts in Stanley's heart intensified.
"What the hell are you trying to do? Don't tell me you want me to join you. Stanley frowned, and it seemed that his identity had been investigated.
But it's no wonder that a man who has just killed a vampire and shortly after he meets a vampire hunter, then his friend has an accident, and then he asks to join the action. No matter how you look at it, it feels like watching a movie, because it's too much of a coincidence.
Although the truth is a coincidence!
"Well, since you've asked so, I'll tell you." Wu Zhi stopped, looked at Stanley and said, "First of all, I have to say sorry, because we investigated your information in the week before you came. ”
Stanley said secretly, but he didn't interrupt Wu Zhi's words, after all, the danger of the profession of vampire hunters, they really want to investigate everyone who suddenly approaches the vampire hunters, but Stanley is very unfortunate to be 'in a hurry'!
Wu Zhi looked at Stanley without changing his face, and continued: "It's a pity that we didn't find out, only your ordinary side, but not your special side, your ability and everything like that are blank." ”
"So what?" Stanley asked flatly.
"The only conclusion is that someone is hiding your special identity, but fortunately, there are some connections on our side. We've gotten some information about you through S.H.I.E.L.D. Wu Zhi said.
"S.H.I.E.L.D.? Well, I see, damn one-eyed dragon. ”
Stanley heard that the Instant's own information seemed to have been sold by this one-eyed dragon, after all, although S.H.I.E.L.D. is powerful, don't forget that the Vampire Hunter is an organization that has existed since ancient times, and it is also a gathering place for all kinds of humans and non-humans.
As if sensing Stanley's anger, Wu Zhi hurriedly said: "S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't actually give us all the information, just said that you can use 'qi' and have a superb martial art, I brought you here this time, one is to send you an invitation, and the other really wants to compete with you." ”
"If you compete, you can, but you want me to join you, sorry, I can't do it, I have my own life." Stanley said without thinking.
"Let's talk about this later." Wu Zhi's lips moved, and he finally said.
Along the way, those non-humans are busy with their own things, or basking in the sun or playing beach volleyball, if you ignore their appearance, they are no different from ordinary humans, for example, the girl with the tail of the elder fox over there is not bad, it seems to be a nine-tailed fox from Japan.
"Why Japanese yokai?" Stanley asked.
"Although the world is peaceful now, there are still contradictions between countries, and there are actually some people similar to Supreme Mages on the Chinese side, and they have directly opened up a dimensional space, well, that is, the legendary Xuan Realm, which is much bigger than this, and there is no need to live here at all." Wu Zhi shrugged and said.
Stanley nodded slightly, in fact, even in a peaceful world, the relationship between countries is not harmonious, especially two powerful countries, even the United States, which is used to being a big brother in the world, does not dare to ignore the dragon that has awakened.
Along the way, those non-humans greeted Wu Zhi with a smile after seeing it, or continued to do their own things, they were very familiar with Wu Zhi, as for Stanley, they didn't show too much curiosity, after all, they didn't see humans before.
After walking for a while, Stanley finally saw a place that looked like a fighting arena, and there seemed to be a fight going on inside, with a minotaur and a werewolf fighting. Stanley had just asked what was going on with these orcs, and Wu Zhi told him that according to the Hunter Alliance (an alliance of some otherworldly organizations such as vampire hunters and witch hunters), these seemed to be the descendants of those so-called 'gods'.
In that ancient era, those beings called 'gods' by humans came here from other worlds, lived here for a while and then left, and then these orcs, magicians, wizards, vampires, and other races appeared in this world.
"Now that I think about it, those gods must be aliens." Wu Zhi said to Stanley.
Stanley showed a hint of a subverted expression of worldview very suitably, and then returned to normal under Wu Zhi's comfort, but at this time, Stanley actually despised himself, but some things are top secret after all, and no one can mention it, and everything in the previous life happened to exist like this.
The arena was a Greek gladiatorial arena-like structure, about the size of two or three basketball courts, and the trapezoidal auditorium was filled with all kinds of non-humans, and if it weren't for the occasional human appearance, Stanley would have thought he had crossed again.
The battle between the minotaur and the werewolf did not have any skill, no, it should be said that they gave up all their skills and came to a flesh-to-flesh battle, and the ground of the fighting arena was already stained red by the blood of these people, but these two people (?) But it's still fighting, as if it came out with ketchup instead of blood.
"Will we fight like this in a while?" Stanley asked, tilting his head.
