Chapter 1070: Ancient Books
The aircraft landed safely and smoothly on the runway, and the passengers around Xavier couldn't help but feel relieved, and then glared at the alarmist brother and sister with a blaming gaze.
"I'm sorry!"
Xavier dragged his sister out of the cabin and ran all the way out of the airport hall.
"Hey, wait, wait!"
At this time, the uncle who was equipped with the [Xunying] watch chased after him: "Your wallet has fallen ......"
"Oh, thank you, uncle!"
Jia'er took the pink toy wallet with a bear pattern in the other party's hand and politely thanked her.
"Haha...... I'm only twenty-five, don't call me uncle......!
The uncle, who had a beard and an obvious middle-aged appearance, smiled bitterly: "What about your name?"
"My name is Xavier, this is my sister Jia'er, we are here to enroll in ......"
Xavier pulled his sister and said very cautiously.
"That's right...... This is my communication number, I have something to do with this 10,000-bear market, remember to find me if you have something!"
As if seeing the vigilance in Xavier's eyes, the young uncle smiled unconcernedly, reported a long string of numbers, and then waved his hand and walked into the crowd.
"Jia'er, don't talk to strangers casually in the future!"
After seeing the black eye leave, Xavier immediately put on a straight face and educated his sister.
"But...... I feel that the black-eyed uncle is a good man......" Jia'er bit her lip.
"Stop trusting these instincts and live like a normal person......
Xavier sighed, and as if he had let go of all his burdens, he took Jia'er to stop a circular taxi with no tires and half floating in the air, and merge directly into the main road like the main artery of the city......
It's just that. Xavier and his sister Jia'er didn't notice that a trace of black hair had been wrapped around their brother and sister's body, which was an ability between the real world and the second dimension, even the two siblings who had amazing perception didn't notice it.
"I didn't expect it...... If you walk around, you can see the bloodline of ten thousand snakes!"
Leylin sighed, from the body of the brother and sister. He felt the breath of the authentic Ten Thousand Snake Blood Descendant, although it was already very meager, but it did exist.
Especially that kind of high-perception talent, he can actually predict a little bit of the future, especially vaguely sensing the existence of Lei Lin - even if the previous Lei Lin did not deliberately cover it up, it is a very remarkable thing.
Therefore, Lei Lin made an exception to lower a little attention, and even left his own coordinates on the brother and sister.
He was now standing in the midst of the hustle and bustle, and the people around him were hurrying around him. His eyes kept scanning around, and the expression on his face became more and more emotional.
Whether it is the hundreds of floors of steel buildings rising from the ground, or the residential houses that are divided into latticework, or even the floating giant advertisements, as well as the maglev train and the transparent tubular vehicle passages all over the city, Lei Lin has a vague sense of familiarity, and even has the illusion of returning to the past life.
"No wonder I saw the light of civilization on the Force Sea of the Shadow World...... This has clearly gone through several technological and technological revolutions...... And the population is also quite terrifying......"
With just a rough sweep, Lei Lin felt that there were no less than 10 million people in this 10,000-bear market.
And such a city. Judging from the information he had obtained on the plane before, it was only a medium-sized administrative city of the Empire. Calculated in this way, the total population of the entire shadow world may catch up with the wizarding world, of course, the wizarding world that is counted together with the underground world!
"Historically, the development of science and technology has been the path that best adapts to ordinary creatures......"
For ordinary and ordinary individuals without extraordinary abilities, crowding and technology are the best path. Especially when there is a black hand behind the scenes.
"Compared to the extreme increase in the number of ordinary individuals, the extraordinary individuals in this world seem to be greatly limited......"
Leylin recalled the [Swift Shadow] watch he had seen before, this kind of thing seemed to be very common among the civilians here, of course, it was only the old model that Xavier had said before, and it could only cast spells from level 0 to 2.
"Transcendent energy has been completely turned into a tool. For a little money, can even a child download spells from the Shadow Web and use them?"
There was an interested glint in Leylin's eyes: "What does this night girl want to do?"
His eyes swept, and then he saw a large projection screen in the sky.
Numerous light and shadow effects were released into the air, forming a huge canopy, which used to be an advertisement for a product, but now it's news time:
"A few days ago, affected by the discovery of new energy mines, the energy sector of the stock market fell sharply across the board, and it has been suspended today!"
"The wife of the imperial prime minister attended a charity gala in the capital's Shangri-La Gardens to collect donations for refugees in 13 coastal cities affected by the shadow storm, which analysts believe is ......"
"In response to the illegal transactions of [Xunying] Type 5, the Security Department once again reiterates its determination to crack down on it, and will jointly carry out a joint operation in the near future, targeting all kinds of counterfeit documents, especially those who have purchased [Xunying] Type 5 technician certificates and undergraduate diplomas......"
"Emergency notice: 3 hours and 12 minutes ago, Amdo City was hit by a meteorite, which has caused the collapse of several buildings, the surrounding area is obviously affected, and the direct economic loss is 37.85 million, and the casualty information is currently unknown...... Local garrisons have intervened ......"
The announcer, dressed in a professional suit, introduces in a serious voice, and the picture behind it includes a parade of heavily armed soldiers entering the city of Amdo.
"React quickly!"
Leylin shook his head, and immediately stopped paying much attention.
An emerging technological empire, behind which there is the unfathomable existence of the Night Lady, once forced to be urgent, the energy that can be released is terrifying.
The splendor of the Arcane Empire of Ancient Nether speaks for itself, and it is an existence capable of fighting the gods!
Lei Lin had no doubt that once the other party used any hole cards, it would only be a matter of time before his voodoo dolls were discovered.
However, it was originally something that was thrown out to attract attention, and it was able to support it until now, and Lei Lin was very satisfied.
"Well, maybe I should have watched the news more recently, and I wonder if there is news about the Mother of Ten Thousand Snakes......"
A smile tugged at the corners of Leylin's mouth.
According to his observations, the current shadow world and the shadow world in the mouth of the Mother of Ten Thousand Serpents are completely two eras, just like the difference between the earth in the middle ages in the previous life and the earth in the twenty-first century.
Therefore, the existence of that old antique level is easy to make some jokes if it is not good, and now that communication is so developed, if it is not good, it will be filmed in the news.
However, these are all details, and presumably with the shrewdness of the snake, after making a few jokes, they will immediately realize the difference and hide it.
"In other words, after the voodoo doll, the other party is my biggest target for attracting firepower......"
Raylin's eyes flickered.
Although he came at the invitation of Ten Thousand Snakes, he had no obligation to be the other party's nanny.
"For the time being, it's still mainly to collect intelligence, and you can't rush into the shadow magic net, you must find an opportunity......"
Leylin looked at what was being looped on the news, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.
......
Outside the city, in a small two-story villa.
Compared with the various high-tech equipment outside, the interior decoration of this villa seems to be very quaint, or in other words, full of the old sense of the times.
"I didn't expect that there is no maintenance here in my hometown, but can I still live in it!"
Jia'er wiped the sweat from her face, and her dusty hands immediately left several black marks on her little face, like a little flower cat.
Charwell, who was wearing an apron and was holding a frying pan to fry vegetables, frowned: "It's dirty! Hurry up and wash ......"
This is their hometown, which has been abandoned for many years, and if it weren't for the fact that they were going back to school, Xavier and his sister wouldn't have lived in it.
However, after the cleaning, it is barely habitable.
"I really don't know why my parents didn't sell this place in the first place, is it really the same as they said, our family was here hundreds of years ago, this is our ancestral home?"
Xavier, visibly unconvinced, dialed a video call after dinner, across from a kind couple.
"I've got everything in order......," Xavier said casually.
"Hmm, Xiaoxia, you have to take on the responsibility of an adult and take good care of your sister......"
The middle-aged man in the video said, his face suddenly hesitant: "And ...... Above my hometown, there are some things in the mezzanine of the study, you can also look at it if you have nothing to do......"
"Oh, that broken book, I flipped through it when I was three years old......"
Xavier said nonchalantly.
"What ???" The voice on the other side suddenly rose an octave, and the man covered his heart even more, with an expression that he couldn't accept it.
"Isn't it just a broken book full of grotesque fantasies and ghosts? It's a shame that you're still hiding it like a family heirloom, and the key is that you can't hide it well......
Xavier rolled his eyes, then chatted with his parents and hung up.
"Tome...... I miss it......"
Still, having said that, out of nostalgia for some kind of warm memory, Xavier went to the study on the upper floor and found the tome hidden in the mezzanine.
Due to the accumulation of time, the cover of the book has long been blurred, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated, so that Xavier has to clean it again with a bitter face.
"The history of the book...... I will believe it for a thousand years......" (To be continued.) )
