Chapter 8: The Past Is Like Smoke
Probably thinking that he was an old guy in his fifties, he was scheming to calculate a child who was only in his early twenties, and he was a little reluctant to go, or he wanted to whisper something to the young man in front of him, but the willow demon retreated from the people who came to pick him up, and Adam was also blown away by him.
The two walked along the bluestone road towards the depths of the military base, looking like a grandfather and grandson from a distance.
The military base is a foreign statement, but in fact, everyone knows that it is an underground city, with a population of about 7 million in the city, and about 33 million people in Tianyang City on the ground.
Liu Demon is a person from Hua Shaoguo, and after entering Tianyang City, he broke away from his original nationality, but he seems to have inherited the fine traditions of Hua Shaoguo, and he likes to do everything, and he is a bit crazy about infrastructure, and he almost hollows out the underground in the west of Tianyang City.
The Willow Demon even used tens of thousands of engineering robots to dig a lake in the dungeon, where he could row and fish in his spare time.
He seemed to be angry with Chen Guang.
You are your above-ground emperor and control all the students, and I am my underground emperor and control the military of a city.
The more he walked inside the base, the more Jiang Qiu felt the pressure on his face.
"It's a gadget I've worked on over the years." The willow demon stomped his feet and stepped on the bluestone pavement, and as the strength under his feet increased, pale golden patterns began to appear on the bluestone pavement.
When the pattern appeared, Jiang Qiu keenly noticed that there seemed to be an extra lock in his body, which was locked together with his muscles and bones, and the qi in his body that was like an ocean of qi encountered an illusory valve, and when the pattern dissipated, the symptoms were alleviated.
Jiang Qiu glanced at the willow demon who seemed to be fine, and secretly thought in his heart that this old guy was at least a first-level magician, maybe a special grade.
There are 40 million people on the ground and underground in Tianyang City, and according to statistics, about 85% of them are capable, but there are only five super-grade magicians.
The willow demon scratched his face, "This thing is a rare thing, capable of suppressing magicians and superpowers to the greatest extent, and it appeared with the advent of the beast thirty years ago. For the next 30 years, no matter how much money I spent and how I searched for researchers, I couldn't replicate it. ”
"Huashao was originally my motherland, and there were high-level people who hinted at me and asked me to take out some of it, but I refused and used it all to build this military base."
"Materials are limited, only in this military base will there be oppressive power, and a little farther away the place where the crowd gathers will be gone."
Jiang Qiu said respectfully: "People die for money, birds die for food, assuming I am Uncle Liu, then simply treat it as if I didn't find this kind of thing." ”
Hearing these shameless words, looking back at the information that Adam transmitted to himself, this kid seems to have a good face, but in fact his heart is very dark, and the willow demon laughed.
Jiang Qiu looked around at the majestic underground base, his eyes looked along the bluestone pavement to the law enforcement robot like a black spot in the distance, his expression was calm as usual, but he was silently admiring in his heart.
It's a pity that the two didn't enter from the main entrance, but went around the underground river for half a circle, avoiding crowded places, otherwise they could follow the main road and see the endless underground buildings, which are the main body of the dungeon.
The two walked along the path into the base, walking slowly on the sidewalks that were not spacious, I don't know how many turns, all the sight was blocked by the high walls on both sides, and the patrol drones flew overhead from time to time, and the sense of surveillance like a thorn in the back was spontaneously born.
The creator of all this is the man around him.
In the place where you can see the excavated blue sea lake, there is a viewing pavilion, which has already prepared tea, but there is no figure in sight.
Compared to the ground, the rules underground will only be heavier and stricter.
Jiang Qiu sat squarely opposite the willow demon, without squinting, and quietly looked at the old man in front of him while the willow demon was sipping tea.
Settled in this Tianyang City at the age of twenty, it took thirty years to climb to the peak of power step by step, and the sorcerer world is also the peak of existence, which cannot be simply attributed to the help of the forces behind him, or even the luck of the willow demon.
Jiang Qiu repeatedly warned himself that he couldn't simply treat the man in front of him as a rich man who took care of his family and liked to tease his grandson, and he had to think about it repeatedly.
Liu Demon smiled and asked, "Can you let me take a look at that little guy in your shadow?" ”
Jiang Qiu stomped his feet gently, and the white wolf dog stood guard aside, his eyes sharp.
The willow demon nodded, "Yes, it's indeed a shadow technique, not the kind of beast master who is rotten on the street." Those beast masters control nothing more than mountain and forest beasts, and you control the beasts of dragon beasts. ”
The willow demon waved his hand to stop Jiang Qiu's question, "I know what you want to ask, don't worry, I want to think about it, where to start......"
The old man fell into a memory, "Thirty years ago, many things began on the day the beast came. You may not know it, but the number of sorcerers is limited, extremely limited. ”
Jiang Qiu frowned, it was the first time he had heard of it.
The willow demon stared at Jiang Qiu, looking at him a little uncomfortable, "In the past thirty years, there have only been two batches of sorcerers. The first batch of thirty-six people, corresponding to the number of Tiangang, the second batch of seventy-two people, corresponding to the number of earth-shattering, after that, all the people are not considered sorcerers, they can only be counted as superpowers, do you know the reason? ”
"Because they were born of technology?"
"Yes and no." The willow demon did not dwell too much on this issue, and said with emotion: "There are 8 billion people in the world, but only 108 people are called sorcerers, and every time one dies, there will be new people who become sorcerers. Your shadow art is the first to appear. ”
"As for why I know, it has something to do with what happened 20 years ago. Twenty years ago, a shadow magician was hunted by a beast because it didn't want a 'natural predator'. ”
The shadow artist had a short temper, so he naturally didn't want to be restrained, so he simply let go of his hands and feet. Turning the world upside down in that battle is not a modifier, but a real scene. ”
"After the Great War, the seven beast directors never appeared at the board meeting again, and Tianyang City gradually came under the control of our seven old human fellows, and the shadow magician disappeared without a trace. It wasn't until you showed up that I knew the Shadow Master was dead. ”
Jiang Qiu frowned and looked at the old man's lonely demeanor, the old man seemed to be a little guilty and a little proud, and sighed: "What a singing and crying character." ”
The willow demon deserved to be an old fox, and in just a few seconds, he put away his inner emotions and said with a smile: "It's a pity that I was only a fourth-level magician at that time, and I was powerless. ”
"About three years ago, on Seventy-Seven Street, I happened to meet an old man, the Dragon Beast!"
"Of course, it was just a glimpse, and there was no communication between us. Since that day, I have been following this clue, wondering what these beasts are trying to do, but I have never been able to find any clues, until I met you, and I have a guess. ”
Probably because he has been comfortable for too long, he has too much power, or because of the estrangement between humans and beasts, all kinds of reasons combined, the willow demon doesn't want the beasts to appear in the world again, but he is afraid that they will not come out in his heart.
To live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses.
The Huashao Kingdom in Asia, the Luoxiang Country in the Americas, and the Yeying Country in Europe, are there any beasts infiltrated by the three superpowers?
No one can guarantee it.
But the more this is the case, the more it takes someone to come out and break this delicate balance.
The willow demon was silent for a long time, looked at him and said in a harmonious voice: "The disappearance of your family is very strange, and you can't find it. At that time, Adam had not yet appeared, and he could not control every corner of Tianyang City, so he could only make the worst conjectures. ”
"Because of your shadow-like appearance, those beasts may not be able to sit still."
Jiang Qiu's expression was low, and his eyes were slightly closed, making it difficult for the willow demon to grasp the thoughts of the young man in front of him for a while.
Would a young man in his early twenties have such a bland reaction to the news of his family's disappearance?
Just when the willow demon was about to speak, Jiang Qiu raised his head, there was no joy or anger in his eyes, if it weren't for the trilling voice in his voice, the willow demon would mistakenly think that Jiang Qiu was a scheming guy who had lived for dozens of years.
Jiang Qiu asked, "Uncle Liu, are you sure that the dragon beast has appeared on Seventy-Seven Street?" ”
The willow demon nodded, "Don't be in such a hurry, I'm not sure if it was done by the beast now, but I know that with you now, even if you find the dragon beast?" Even if you roll around, pointing at the other party's nose and scolding him, the dragon beast may not be willing to take care of you. ”
Jiang Qiu exhaled heavily, indicating that he understood.
Adam reappeared in the gap between the two men's conversations.
This time he changed his look, turning into a blonde exploding head, his gray robe into a hippie-style outfit, and holding a guitar in his arms.
The willow demon's eyelids jumped.
Adam smiled: "Everyone has arrived, Director Chen brought a girl over, she is a reformer, and you are sent to you." ”
The willow demon looked at it again and again, but still couldn't help but scold: "Get out of the way and change your look." ”
Adam changed his mood, like the chief of the emperor who served the emperor, sighed softly, and snapped his fingers pretending to be handsome.
A stream of data appeared in Adam's eyes, and the clothes on his body changed from hippie style to a ...... A playground worker in a dinosaur holster.
Adam was floating in the air, the dinosaur holsters were closed one by one, like an old bustard in a green building, and he found a handkerchief out of nowhere, and said nondescriptly: "Director Liu, please come here." ”
The willow demon took a deep breath, turned his head, and stopped paying attention to the AI with a sick brain, "Kid, are you interested in fishing with me?" By the way, teach me a lesson to a few arrogant little ones. ”
