The size of Tyre is huge, stretching from Punishment Square to the east of the city, passing through dozens of different neighborhoods and multiple ethnically mixed settlements. As he walked, Muhadi looked at the various exotic species.

Humans, elves, and half-elves are probably the most common races in Tyre, and they together make up more than ninety percent of the streets. In addition to these three common races, there are also many dwarves and half-giants, with the former running a number of shops and the latter mainly acting as a guard for the merchants.

On the way, Muhathir passed by a weapons shop called the "Happy Dwarf". The storefront displays a number of strange and strange weapons in glass windows, which many teenagers do not recognize. A grim-faced old dwarf crouched in front of the weapons shop, staring at passers-by with an unkind expression.

Halflings were not uncommon in Tyre, and the boy passed through a halfling gathering area on the way. The settlement was built on a dry ancient riverbed, and before Atas was completely desertified, there were seven rushing rivers that ran through Tyre, and now, seven riverbeds.

There are ancient bridges spanning the dry riverbed, and when you look down from the bridge, the riverbed is full of messy temporary buildings. Most of these shacks are made of wood and leather, and are so low that they can only fit the size of a halfling. Moreover, there is not even a road between the shacks and the shacks, and all the buildings are tightly knit together to form a huge labyrinth without friends.

According to the elves, the halfling is a burrowing creature, and it seems to be. There are some large and small holes in the riverbed, and there are small figures drilling in and out, which is estimated to be the crypt of the halfling.

In the cities, halflings are almost the lowest group, with little industry and a living by picking up garbage and making small crafts.

Are the halflings who ambushed me in the desert hiding in the city at this moment?, Muhadi thought, but even psionic energy could not give him an answer to this question.

Finally arriving at the site of the waterworks, the boy squinted his eyes and surveyed the massive building, which was surrounded by a towering wall, and low buildings like loess-colored bunkers stood in the middle of the walls. The low building is about three stories high, and there are no windows below, only a few cross-shaped openings at the top for ventilation and guarding.

There was a half-giant at the door with the gate of the waterworks, and when he saw the young man enter, he stretched out his spear and pointed it at the door.

"The water plant prohibits idle people from waiting for people! Villain, get out!"

"I'm the boss here, and I can come and go whenever I want. Muhadi replied, grasping the tip of the spear with his hand and pulling it away.

"You look a lot shorter, and you've lost a lot of weight......" the half-giant looked sideways, asking, "...... Haven't you had enough for days?"

"I'm not the butcher of truth," Muhadi didn't bother to explain to the intellectually retarded half-giant, and shook the contract for the waterworks, "Get out of the way!" he said, adding a hint of implication to his language.

The half-giants were probably illiterate, but he had seen such a contract, and not long ago the Butcher of Truth had taken the paper and declared himself the new owner. And now, the contract is in the hands of an even smaller human.

The half-giant did not dare to continue to block, so he flashed to the side and gave way to the gate of the water plant.

There was a small square within the walls of the waterworks, and some bored workers were resting in the shade of the corner, and when they saw someone coming in, they only raised the eyelids of one eye slightly and looked at it, and then ignored it.

There was a loud roar from inside the tower-like building of the water plant, as if some machinery was running.

Unable to let them despise themselves, Muhadi understood this universal law on Attas, so he calmly stood in the middle of the square and showed his spiritual powers.

Immediately, an invisible psychic shock wave spread out from the center of the boy forward, passing through a distance of dozens of feet without hindrance. Those workers who were leaning against the wall and lazy came into contact with this spiritual shockwave, and immediately trembled as if they had been electrocuted, tears and saliva flowed uncontrollably at the same time, and their faces were full of shocked and indescribable expressions, and they could not say a word.

This is Psychic Blast, one of the third level of psychic abilities of a Psychic Warlock, one of the new abilities that the boy has only just realized since arriving in Tyre.

Now that he can use the third-level psionic energy normally, Muhadi still feels a sense of pride in his heart. According to Lyra, psionic progress depends on talent over penance. And being able to master the third-level psionic energy in just a few months indicates that there is a great chance of mastering more advanced techniques, and even eventually becoming a great psychic warlock.

At this time, a worker who happened to come out of the watchtower saw this scene and shouted "enemy attack!" Then dozens of ragged guys rushed out of the building together, still holding all kinds of weapons that had been copied from their hands. From forks to sticks.

"I'm your new boss!" Muhati held the pact alof, while showing his ability to manipulate voices, making his voice louder and deeper, full of oppression.

The circle of people who came up was suspicious, and it was good, and what Muhadi wanted was for them to waver.

"Who is your leader?" he asked exclaimed.

The workers looked at each other, and the last tall man stepped forward, "It's me." ”

"Do you recognize this contract?"

The tall man frowned, and finally said, "Yes, the last time I saw it, it was still in the hands of the Butcher of Truth. ”

"Then you understand who I am?" said Muhadi, raising his tone in the last few words.

"The owner of the water plant...... Or some daring thief. ”

Muhati smiled, then pointed to the workers around him who were shocked by the mental explosion, "Can a thief do this?"

"Maybe it can be ......," the tall man replied, and the young man thought that he was going to take the lead in making trouble, but the other party finally lowered his head, "...... But if the thief can do this, I'll just let him be the boss. ”

Muhadi nodded and told him, "Those lazy fellows, throw them under the sun and get a good sun." Other people, I want to reward you, I will not take any of the income of the water plant in the next month, you can share it yourself. ”

The workers cheered, and even the tall man looked at Muhati with a little less hostility.

The teenager didn't know how much the water plant earned in a month, and he didn't care. At this moment, in addition to demonstrations, it is also necessary to win over the workers.

"Take me on a tour of the inside of the waterworks. He said to the tall man.

The latter first beckoned the workers to return to their posts, and then led Muhadi into the main building of the water plant.

Complex metal machinery roars inside the plant, gears, pistons, and huge moving components move in a loop. Metal grinds against metal, making a screeching sound, a rumbling roar coming from deeper into the building.

It looked like a row of giant woodpeckers, nodding their heads without beginning or end.

"These devices are left over from time immemorial. The tall man introduced, "As early as the time before magic was present, it was created by ancient great civilizations. He finally added in a non-confident whisper, "At least that's what everyone says." ”

"Ancient times?" Muhati was skeptical, "In ancient times, there was no shortage of water in Atas, so what did they build these devices?"

The tall man couldn't answer, and the boy stopped asking the question. Pointing to the metal "woodpeckers" and asked, "So, these devices can beat the water?"

"No, no, no, it's not water, it's a mixed liquid, boss. The tall man introduced, "The underground water storage zone in Tyre is very deep, so there are a lot of impurities, and the water that comes up must be refined and purified before it can be sold." ”

"What kind of impurities?" asked Muhadi.

"Solid sediment. There is also a black, viscous, flammable liquid. After separation, it can be used as fuel for oil lamps. ”

I see, the boy thought to himself, and then looked at the woodpecker-like device, which I should have thought of a long time ago, an oil well, an oil well from ancient times.

Apparently the ancient Atas civilization built these huge facilities to pump oil from the ground, but in order to balance the pressure underground, they injected sewage into the oil fields. Now, oil people don't need it much, but water is the most important thing.

"So you're talking about purification?" asked Muhadi.

The tall man was about to answer, but he heard a terrible scream coming from outside, "Halfling! Halfling has killed ......"

The screams finally turned into screams.
