Chapter 4: The Ancient World
These are three periodicals called Warlocks.
Because of the rampant demons and the lack of smooth traffic, the communication between the imperial capital and the local government was blocked. The princes and lords of various places lost their restraint and had to hoard a large number of private soldiers in order to protect the city against the demons. The centralization of power was dealt a heavy blow, local forces grew like weeds, and finally completely freed themselves from the shackles of the emperor, and the Northland Empire fell apart, forming a situation of independent political structure.
The Warlock Organization was not greatly affected, and various academic weekly, monthly, and annual magazines were constantly launched to promote the development of the art path.
Light the lamp.
Start reading.
"After 47 days of hard work, the Baicheng Shudao Research Institute has once again verified the [Law of the Non-Interchangeability of Five Elements Energy], and will publish an academic paper in the monthly journal of the Alliance!"
"The famous sage Wu Fatian, who improved the level 5 ancient magic [Giant's Arm], caused a huge sensation and was nominated for the top ten warlocks of the year in the Northland Alliance!"
"Rookie Li Zhao created his own level 2 spell [Li Zhao's Flame Bullet] and won the Best Technique Rising Star Award!"
Mu Yun read the news in the weekly magazine one by one.
The law of the non-interchangeability of the energy of the five elements?
It's a fart!
In another 3,000 years or so, someone will prove that this law is wrong!
Mu Yun had personally created several energy exchange spells, including a terrifying forbidden spell. In this era, this is an iron law.
As for the spells improved by the famous warlock, Mu Yun almost laughed out loud, whether it was before or after the improvement, this was a completely rotten spell, fifteen thousand years later, there were at least three hundred versions of similar spells, each of which was ten times better than this so-called improved version.
The rookie invented a bullshit level 2 spell and actually won a regional award, which made Mu Yun speechless.
"The art of this era is really backward!"
This weekly magazine has seven academic papers, three of which are incomprehensible, and the other four are extremely naΓ―ve, and this kind of goods can be listed in a professional Shudao weekly!
There are also several weekly magazines.
There is no need to look any further.
The gap between the two eras is simply that the cold star is better than the scorching sun, and the jackdaw is better than the phoenix!
Mu Yun lay down on the bed again, his heart was excited, "My mind is full of knowledge and spells after 10,000 years, alchemy and alchemy talisman recipes, just write a random one, that is also after 10,000 years, countless warlocks have improved, almost to the point of perfection, to the point where there is no change!
Mu Yun turned his head sideways, and the sleeping warbler was like a little angel!
"I'm going to make money, a lot of money!"
"I want to re-cultivate as a sorcerer, in this era, it seems that no one has cultivated to this realm......"
Mu Yun fell asleep thinking about it.
The next day's sunlight poured into the house through the small window, and Mu Yun woke up, staring at the small bedroom, and suddenly had a feeling of dreaming.
Mu Yun's body is full of power.
The feeling of weakness yesterday is gone.
Mu Yun found that Ying'er was not around, so she got up and left.
Mu Yun got up and got dressed.
At this time, Ying'er's voice came from outside the door, a little flustered and angry, "Scoundrel!
"Yo, the little girl's temper is really not small, didn't Mu Yun train you well?
"Someone is bullying Ying'er again!"
Mu Yun took out a musket from under his pillow and immediately rushed out the door.
Three thugs dressed in violence stood at the door of the house, holding a few steaming steamed buns, and a few pairs of thief eyes looked at the petite and beautiful Ying'er unscrupulously, but the lewdness in their eyes was unconcealed. Seeing Mu Yunxian, he was stunned for a moment, and put on a look of indifference.
"Young master, they bullied Ying'er!" Ying'er threw away a wooden stick she picked up and threw herself into Mu Yun's arms, "and snatched the steamed buns that she bought!"
A bald head stood up and said with a hippie smile: "Yo, isn't this Mu Dashao?"
Mu Yun said angrily: "Get out!"
"Don't say it so ugly, we were sent by Du Dashao to visit you, a guy in the casino made a heavy shot and almost beat you to death, I'm really sorry. The bald head still has a hippie smile, "You owe more than ten silver coins to the field, according to the rules of the road, if you don't return it on time, you will be chopped off your hands!"
Du Feng is the son of a casino owner, narrow-minded, and his eyes are bound to revenge, and the bald man is his minion. Last time, it was a trivial contradiction in the casino, Du Feng asked someone to hit Mu Yun to death, and even went to the door to smash it, and Uncle Mu took the opportunity to take Lingtian away, which was the culprit who caused Mu Yun and Ying'er's family to be in vain!
The bald man continued to smile and said, "Young Master Du is kind-hearted and can't bear to chop off your hand, so he will show you a way out." I saw your little maid unexpectedly that day, the eldest young master is very interested, you hand her over, this debt is written off, and I will make up 10 silver coins for you!"
Mu Yun's heart was furious, and he immediately aimed the muzzle of the black hole at the bald head.
Ying'er was shocked and frightened, and hugged Mu Yun's hand, "They are from the casino!"
The thugs were startled first, and they couldn't help but smile proudly when they saw this.
"Your little maid is good, but you should get tired of playing for a few years. You are so poor that you can't even afford to eat steamed buns, Du Shao is kind enough to give a way to live, don't be embarrassed, otherwise you will ......" The bald man snorted: "You know, Baisong Town is cold and slippery, if you fall and touch it, you may not be able to survive every time." β
Naked threat!
Mu Ying'er's face was pale.
Mu Yun's anger rushed to his head uncontrollably, "It's too much of a bully! I really think I don't dare to shoot?"
"Young master!
Ying'er hurriedly shouted, the strong dragon is not the head snake, not to mention that Mu Yun is not a strong dragon, just a down-and-out young man who has lost all his assets. The Du family is quite powerful in Baisong Town, and it is too easy to kill Mu Yun, just like last time.
If Muyun dies, what will Ying'er do?
"You brought it upon yourselves. The bald head threw the steamed bun under his feet and crushed it into the snow with his foot, "Brothers, let's go!"
Ying'er showed a distressed look.
I earned a few copper coins from working all night, and all of them were ruined by the hooligans.
The three thugs squeezed onto the snowmobile, the engine roared, and deliberately used the tires to kick up a large piece of snow, all of which were scattered on Muyun and Ying'er, and went away with a strange scream.
"Strange Ying'er accidentally let the bad guys snatch the steamed buns. β
Mu Yun patted off the snow on his body and said gently: "It's useless, but this will happen again, I promise!" Mu Yun glanced back at the house and suddenly asked, "How much is the house worth?"
"If it is sold to a trading house, it is estimated that it will be 4,000 copper coins, and if you sell it directly to others, it will probably be sold for 5,000. β
"Sold the house first. β
"We sold our house and had no place to live!
"Now even the thugs dare to bully me, you are a girl staying at home, how can I rest assured? The innkeeper is hard, the casino does not dare to make trouble in the hotel, we live in a hotel!"
Ying'er hesitated, "The cost of the hotel is too high, and it takes a few hundred copper coins a day!"
"As long as there are a few days of peace, the money thing, I will take care of it. Mu Yun was still a little worried when she saw Ying'er, and comforted: "Ying'er, believe me." β
Ying'er bit her lip and nodded, "No matter what, Ying'er has to follow the young master." β
Mu Yun said: "This life was originally picked up, but before Ying'er lives a good life, the god of death personally invites me, and I won't leave!"
Ying'er was moved to tears again, "Young master." β
Mu Yun wiped away her tears, "Don't cry, get the deed." β
The deed is a scroll, two fingers thick and ten centimeters long, made of the finest sheepskin, and the material of the scroll itself is worth three or five hundred copper plates. When opened, it was just over a foot long, densely packed with symbols, exuding magical fluctuations.
Ying'er stuffed her worn-out clothes, cutlery, and broken radio into a hemp bag, and the furniture was in the hotel, so there was no need to take it away. The sewing machine was broken and big, and it was not worth a few copper plates and it was difficult to move, so I had to stay in the house and sell the house together.
The two went out with large and small bags.
Seeing this, the surrounding neighbors discussed in private, is this bad character loser finally going to the point where he has to sell the last property?
It's a pity for a beautiful maid!
First time on the streets.
Mu Yun is curious about the ancient world.
There are 2 periods of Terran civilization.
[Mechanical Period]: About 20,000 years ago - 50,000 years ago, the Terrans dominated the continent with scientific and technological civilization, so they invented a large number of terrorist weapons, and finally the Terrans broke out in a civil war, and the forbidden weapons destroyed the civilization in one fell swoop.
After 20,000 years of faults
[Shuwu Period] opened: From the 1st year of the new calendar to 16211, this period is the Wushu period. After the end of the mechanical civilization, the alien race ruled the whole continent, destroying the wisdom of the human race, in 20,000 years, the human race was almost wiped out, and finally under the leadership of some great people, and through the extraction of foreign civilization, and finally found the way of art, martial arts, two civilization paths, so as to create a vigorous martial arts civilization.
In the era when Mu Yun lived, the human race regained its heyday status in the mechanical period, the art and martial arts were highly developed, and the mechanical technology was studied by a very small number of countries, but it could not be taken seriously after all, and there was no chance to return to the historical stage.
Now, although the civilization has been rebuilt, its strength is not strong enough, and there are several alien races on the continent that are not weak human races.
In addition, although a new civilization was opened, the remnants of the previous civilization were obvious, and the streets were full of mechanical instruments or equipment, all of which had a common characteristic, most of which were rough and unbearable, and the pursuit of practicality without considering aesthetics was made, relying on the technical remnants of the ruins of the previous civilization.
Mechanical vehicles existed, but they were not widely available.
The means of transportation on the street are mainly horses, occasionally see wild beasts such as giant wolves and wild bulls, most of the people wear weapons such as swords, knives, and staffs, and people are dressed in different ways, robes, cloth armor, and leather armor are the mainstay, and metal armor is not popular because it is too cold here.
In the commercial area of the town, the street is about eight meters wide, the snow is swept clean, and people come and go, which is very lively.
The shop is quite distinctive, with a small clock at the door, and every time it is struck, it is not the bell that rings, but the advertising slogan recorded by the owner.
"Shenji Pavilion special event, new pistols on the shelves, sold at a nine-percent discount, only 9,500 copper coins!" At the door of this gun shop, there is a huge plate, which is engraved with a small phantom array, and various styles of firearms appear in it, switching every five seconds, which is dizzying.
"Lao Li blacksmith shop, 100 newly cast fine iron swords, certified by regular channels. Lao Li Jing iron sword, sharpened iron like mud, durable. Choose enough now and get a gift. "This is an armory shop, and a small phantom array is also installed at the door, a sword with a cold and shining sword, accompanied by a sonorous and powerful sound of unsheathing, which is very attractive.
"Welcome to the Dark Horse Store, the Chamber of Commerce of Nalan Group, well-known in the North, leading in sales! Buy a car and choose a dark horse, after-sales is guaranteed!" This is a brand-name car store, through the glass window, two tires of motorcycles, three-wheeled, four-wheeled cars are all available, different colors, styling style, but the cheapest low-end cars, but the cheapest need hundreds of thousands, not Muyun can consume.
Mu Yun sighed: "You can't do anything without money." β
The business of Baisong Town is not developed, but there is no shortage of drug stores, gun shops, weapons stores, material stores, and trading houses, although the scale is limited, but it can meet the local demand.
A three-storey white building in the center of the business district, with the flag of the Nalan family on the outside, is the trading house. The interior of the trading house is spacious and bright, with heating, tiled floors, gilded stone pillars, spotlessly clean and very clean.
The Nalan family.
The first merchant family in the North, with a heritage of 650 years, auction houses, trading houses, material shops, and weapons stores are dotted all over the town!
"This sign ......"
The flag planted in front of the Nalan Trading House was exactly the same as the flag on the carriage last night.
The woman who passed by was a member of the Nalan family!
Mu Yun sold the deed directly.
Exchanged for 4,500 copper coins.
Now the master and servant are completely reduced to the point of having nothing!
