013. How did you become a chicken?
After leaving Kamigawa Academy, Azir was in no hurry to return to Shurima, and he found that the golden disc after a charge showed signs of damage.
The energy transmission circuit within the disk was burned out, and this was only the result of using a single stellar energy source.
Prior to Kieran's proposal, Azir had given up using stellar energy as an energy supply for the Ascendant, so he did not consider the limits of stellar energy when he made the Golden Disc.
Before initially searching for the raw materials to make the discs, he searched almost all of the mineral information of Kamigawa Academy's Nether planets.
Eventually, he found a metal that met the requirements - Ulu alloy.
The metal was refined from the center of the dying planet and could be ranked among the top 10 in the universe in terms of hardness alone, but the reason Azir sought out Uru was not because of how hard it was.
The planet collapsed inward when it was destroyed, and the mass of the entire planet was suppressed to the center of the earth, coupled with the extremely high temperature of the original center of the earth, which gave the original Urujin extremely strong toughness and innate conditions that could withstand high-intensity energy.
So when it comes to the material used to make gold discs, Ulu is Azir's preferred target.
The Beta-2 system, where the Necropolis is located, is in the opposite direction to Shurima, and Azir has to make another big circle.
If you happen to be driving here, be sure to watch out for the meteorite swarms that are flying here, both large and small, the products of the explosions of those planets.
Fortunately, Azir's piloting skills are very good, and he has been ranked first in the ship competitions held by Kamigawa Academy for many years and has never been defeated.
After passing through a dead meteorite group, the scene in the ring is very prosperous.
Even if you are separated by more than 100,000 kilometers, you can see the scene of bright lights.
The interior of Beta-2 is almost entirely filled with the wreckage of the Dead Planet, on which various forces such as wanderers, black market traders, pirates, and other forces in the universe have established their own kingdoms.
Kamigawa's laws can't be controlled here, because compared to a fair, orderly, and clean civilized society, this place is undoubtedly dirty and messy, and Kamigawa people don't like to come here.
And as long as the people of Beta 2 don't do anything out of the ordinary to affect the rules they make, most of the time Kamigawa turns a blind eye.
Azir parked the ship on the skull of a huge creature, on which all kinds of cosmic people set up shops and sold them, Kamigawa, beasts, and even triangular bodies, red, green, blue, yellow, all kinds of bloated bugs, and slaves in chains.
The mixing of lights of various colors makes people feel dizzy and nauseous, not to mention the music of various worlds playing at the same time, and the mix and match of different styles can only be described as noise.
It's noisy.
Azir had just squeezed past the group of prostitutes holding the four-armed woman, and was hugged by a tiger-like beast woman with a wine barrel and more than three times his size: "I knew you didn't like that, real men should play violently, oops......"
Azir didn't talk nonsense with it, and just threw it out, not feeling pity at all.
His current body had retreated from his Ascendant state, but even so, Azir's physical fitness was much stronger than the average beast's body.
Passing through the messy surface of the skull, the environment in the middle was obviously much better, although it was still so dirty, but at least it was not so noisy, which made Azir feel a lot more relaxed.
It's not the kind of place to play above, it's lived, but most people pile up cheap bundling houses that are more like ant nests.
The place he was going to was the bottom of this skull, there was a person who controlled the various sales channels in this gray area, and if she wanted to buy such an extremely rare thing as Uru alloy, she was the only one who had the means to buy it in large quantities.
As he squeezed his way through the crowd and was about to reach the lower passage, Azir was knocked out.
However, because his body is much stronger now, the person who hit him flew out.
"Are you alright? Child. ”
Azir went over and lifted him up, and the kid didn't even reach his chest, and it looked like he was the same Kamigawa body as him.
The child covered his head and shook it, indicating that he was fine.
Azir noticed that he was thin, his cheeks and eyes sunken, and he looked malnourished.
In this kind of place, there are not a few such people, they do not have excellent physical fitness, nor do they have strong weapon technology, and can only do some low-level work every day to barely make a living.
It's hard to be alive.
The boy was picked up by Azir and leaned down in a panic to find something, the place was not dark, but his eyesight seemed to be bad.
Azir helped pick up a paper bag and weighed it, he knew it was a packet of medicine, and then he noticed that the bag had cracked a big hole, which should have been cracked when he hit it just now.
After the ascension, Azir could already see extremely small things, the pills he had spilled in the dust on the ground, which was basically half the capacity of the medicine packet.
As his mind moved, the pills on the ground floated up and flew back to the pill bag, and all the dust that stuck to the pills was left on the ground.
However, the boy was concentrating on the ground, looking anxious, so he didn't notice.
"Is this what you're looking for?"
Azir dropped the medicine bag over and patted him on the shoulder.
The boy was startled, wondering if he had picked up something, so he stuffed his trouser pocket in a panic, and ran away without looking back after taking the medicine bag.
Azir didn't expect him to thank him, so he continued to walk down, the colorful lights disappeared, and the light gradually dimmed, perhaps the boy just now did not see himself because of the sudden change in light, and ran into him head-on.
The environment at the bottom is the best, where the light is similar to the sun's rays, which is not strong and soft.
The most important thing is that there are fewer people, and the buildings are more neatly arranged on both sides of the road, and the leaders of certain forces who can be here are basically quieter, just sitting on the side of the road and chatting with each other, and sometimes laughing, like relatives and friends who have known each other for many years.
Who knows? Maybe when they get to the top, they cut each other.
Compared to the above, the shops, hospitals, and even schools listed here are more like civilized societies on an ordinary planet.
Someone is responsible for sweeping the streets.
Azir walked over and said to the man with the broom to clear the pavement, "I want to find Miss Twilight to fulfill the promise I gave her." ”
The sweeper didn't even look at him, turned around and left, Azir following closely behind.
They entered a school where the students were all young cosmic people, and even though it was time for the end of school, Azir could still see in the window the crying faces of some of the students lying on their desks desperately trying to make up their homework.
"What's the use? Even if they learn knowledge, they don't have a place to play it, let alone knowledge that can be taught here......"
Azir sighed for a moment that in a place like Beta-2, it is said that fate can be changed without learning.
It's not that he looks down on them, Azir himself is a desperate learner, but he has a clear goal, and the children here just sit here blindly, living in a daze.
The old man who led the way suddenly spoke: "We don't teach knowledge, we only teach the skills to survive, even if it's a thief, we will invite it to be a teacher, in Beta Two, the children decide for themselves whether they will be a good person or a bad person in the future, we are only responsible for not letting them become a stupid and a bad person." ”
Azir stopped talking, he still didn't understand this place after all, so he didn't express his one-sided thoughts.
The old man led Azir to the door of the headmaster's office, and Azir knocked on the door.
"Please come in." A woman's voice came from inside.
Azir pushed the door open and walked in, and the woman at the desk had long bright red hair, red lips and two pupils that were spewing seductive charm at any moment.
It's hard to imagine that such a beautiful woman is the boss of this underworld, and no one knows where she comes from, only that she calls herself Twilight.
Twilight was visibly surprised to see Azil, "Oh, you haven't been to my sister's place in over a decade, and you're finally free to pay off your debts?" ”
"Yes, my research results came out, and I succeeded." Azir said.
"Then let me see, Ascendant."
Twilight lit a cigarette, and after the smoke filled it, she kept looking at Azir with a seductive look, "We agreed that we just need to take a look, not a little more, not a little more." ”
Thirteen years ago, Azir set out to make the Golden Disc when he traveled to Beta-2 in search of Uru Alloy, with Twilight only offering to meet the so-called Ascendant if he succeeded.
This is a strange woman, she is interested in something, give her a cigarette and she will change it, no matter what she is interested in, even if she gives ten stars, no one wants it.
Azir didn't talk nonsense, walked over directly, and then put his hand into his clothes, but in Twilight's strange look, Azir didn't take it out for a long time.
The gold disc is gone.
Thinking of what happened when he came down just now, and the boy's panicked action of stuffing things, Azir laughed directly:
"This damn thief!"
Twilight sees the reason at a glance, and she covers her mouth and smiles, "How's it going?" My education here is not bad, right? ”
Azir wasn't in a hurry, anyway, he didn't need the Golden Disc to transform now.
"I'm just here to make good on my promise, and I need more Ulu alloy."
"Let me see it first."
Then, in Twilight's astonishment, Azir's body rapidly expanded and expanded, and the golden light spread throughout his body after revealing vein-like lines, and the eagle armor instantly covered it.
"Wonderful, wonderful! It's a little bit more handsome than I thought it would be. ”
Twilight clapped her hands and nodded in satisfaction, "But how did you become a chicken?" ”
