Chapter 23: Three Possibilities
The third-order technique "Ascension Technique" was finally bought by a noble lady in a private room on the third floor for 970 gold.
The atmosphere in the auction was still hot, but Liao Yu had already left with the two apostles.
Back on the main street, it was already very late at night, and most of the "luminolite" in the street lamps on both sides had been extinguished, and there were not many people around under the thick night.
Walking in the lonely environment, Liao Yu was still thinking about the scene in the auction.
In the game, the humans who just started thousands of years ago are indeed much inferior to the demons, but the "many" gap here is like high school and college.
Take the fourth-order and fifth-order spells as an example.
For human beings thousands of years ago, it was also very difficult, but it was by no means to the point of any insurmountable barrier, thirty or forty level archmages, a smaller country may have hundreds, and a larger kingdom empire can reach thousands of people.
Later, with the invasion of demons, although the human race fell into a war and suffered heavy casualties, it also greatly stimulated the potential of the human race.
In the hundred years of the war between humans and demons, the archmages broke out like a blowout, and under the madness and encouragement of their own "children of destiny", they also brought out many brilliant geniuses who were at level forty or fifty and reached the realm of "magic masters".
Not to mention, thousands of years ago, there was a human being who was even more perverted than him as a "player", the absolute legend of the magic world at that time, the Great Guardian Melvin.
This legendary figure, as one of the masters in his game, has created many fourth- and fifth-order spells just by creating in his life, laying a solid foundation for the human magic world.
And its own level and strength are even more powerful than the eighty-level magic demon Dadaya.
At the end of the war between humans and demons, Liao Yu can say without exaggeration that at that time, the human mage army was almost able to catch up, or even surpass the demons.
However, after the victory in the war, a thousand years passed ...
In Liao Yu's imagination, without himself, the "Child of Destiny", to go to various volumes, even if the human race no longer progresses, but eating the inheritance from him in the past, the inheritance from the Great Guardian, it will not regress too much, right?
Outcome...
As a result, the "Ascension Technique", which was placed thousands of years ago as the most basic introductory technique of the mage legion, is now regarded as a treasure and is used as the finale of the auction.
A fourth-order spell has become a rare occurrence in a hundred years, and can only be passed on by word of mouth, and a fifth-order spell is even regarded as... A legendary existence?
Where is this a step backwards.
It's like going from college to junior high school all at once, no, it's supposed to be elementary school.
Why is this happening?
Liao Yu urgently needs an analysis report from a professional.
And it just so happens that ...
There was one next to him.
Liao Yu did not show his inner confusion.
On the contrary, as if walking at night, casually chatting, Liao Yu tilted his head slightly, and said to the side of the Zhimo who had been silently following him: "Leon, what do you think?" ”
Of course, Zhimo knew what Liao Yu was referring to.
It's better to say that he has actually been waiting for Liao Yu to speak for a long time.
Wang didn't speak on purpose just now, and kept walking silently, which should be to give them time to think and prepare to speak.
And now, it was time for him to present himself before the king.
Leon will live up to the reputation of Chimo.
"Wang, after a thousand years, it seems that most of the human race's strength has indeed declined to an unbelievable level." Leon first affirmed his conclusions.
"Looks like we can go straight to the attack."
This is the interjection of the magic demon next to him.
Liao did not respond.
The Sorcerer was vetoed by Leon with a quick shake of his head.
"Dadaya, don't take things too simply."
"Until I figure out why humans have become like this, I don't recommend that the demons be exposed in any form."
"So, Mr. Leon, what do you think caused it?"
The demon's desire to learn and explore has always been the strongest among the demons.
This is also one of the reasons why Liao Yu brought Dadaya.
He wants to prostitute the wisdom of the demon for nothing, and he wants to maintain the image of the demon king, so he needs another person to ask the wisdom demon for him.
It's the same as Dadaya now.
"Now that we have limited intelligence, there are about three possible directions that I can deduce."
Leon didn't explain directly, but first asked the magician: "Dadaya, if you are the ruler of the human race, do you want the vast majority of the human race to be stronger or weaker?" ”
"Mr. Leon, I don't think it's a problem, of course the stronger the better."
"You're wrong, this is the difference in thinking between our demons and humans in terms of their way of living."
"Because our clan has been fighting all year round, every time we exhaust the resources of one world, we must immediately go to the next unknown world, so we must ensure the combat power of each clan, and we need to make the entire race stronger and stronger."
"But human beings are different, they have their own rich world, with unparalleled creativity and sustainable development, so for them, peace and stability are the first and foremost factors they need to survive."
"If I am the ruler of the human race, then I will control the core power in my own hands, and for the other human beings under my rule, I hope that they will always remain in a weak range that is not beyond my control."
Listening to Zhimo's analysis, Liao Yu couldn't help but nod.
Truly.
After all, there are already real examples on the Blue Star, and in the context of scientific and technological civilization, firearms are actually equal to spells.
In times of war, everyone has a gun in their hands, and if it is a higher class, it can be upgraded, from rifles, machine guns to individual rocket artillery.
But when the war ended, in peacetime, all these killing weapons disappeared, at least for the civilian population.
And the rulers who choose to give the civilians lethal weapons...
Farther away, there was a hole in the door of the head, and closer to the chest, a shotgun also made a hole.
After all, Liao Yu is a human being, and he is in a purely human society, so he understands quickly.
But magic is different.
Dadaya was still frowning.
It seems that Leon's analysis is still a little difficult to turn around.
"Shouldn't all human rulers be so selfish?"
Sorcerers understand that this is the ruler's sacrifice of the interests of the community in order to protect his own rights.
This is indeed one aspect.
But not quite.
"You're wrong." Leon shook his head again in disapproval, his upright eyes flashing with memories.
"In the millennium that we have been sealed, I have taken the opportunity to read many books on the history of mankind - the history of mankind before the appearance of our race, and if I were to sum up, the most in human history should be four words."
"Cannibalism."
"This is also the second possible direction I want to say, the inheritance of human power, at a certain point in time in the millennium, there has been a fragmented fault, and the biggest possibility of causing this fault fragmentation is... Wars come from the struggle between human nations. ”
"The tragedy of the war has led to the destruction of human civilization and the loss of all the previous inheritances, and the victors of the wars, the new rulers of mankind, in order to prevent such a phenomenon from happening again, have to seal knowledge and seal those powerful inheritances."
"It's like, the dispute between two ordinary humans is at most just one death and one injury between each other, the fight between two mages, it may be the destruction of a shop, but if it is two archmages, then our street may not exist, and two mages..."
Wisdom and Demons didn't give any further examples.
The upper limit of the magic corresponding to the magister is the seventh order, and the seventh-order spell, at least it is said to be leveling the mountain, and at the worst, it is the vision of heaven and earth, summoning any thunderstorm tornado, making the earth crack and tremble are all within the scope.
Not to mention that there are eight and ninth orders further up, and even the "super ceremony", the terrifying power of the collapse of the country with a raise of hands.
Think about it this way...
Well.
Is there a fault line in the inheritance of civilization?
It does make sense, Liao Yu nodded again.
Although he hasn't experienced this personally, there are too many games, movies, novels, etc. that have explored this issue, and the most classic sentence on the Internet is the same as what Zhi Mo said.
[We don't know what weapons were used in the Third World War, but we are sure that the Fourth World War must have been fought with stones and sticks]
It was analyzed by the wisdom of the devil.
Liao Yu really felt suddenly enlightened, and suddenly understood a lot.
And the magic demon beside him was also thoughtful, and from the previous confusion to the seemingly understandable.
After talking about two possibilities.
Although Liao Yu agrees with Zhimo very much, he also admires Leon's awesomeness in his heart, as a demon, he can think so thoroughly in a short period of time, and he is indeed worthy of the name of Zhimo.
But...
At present, it seems that no matter what, it is good for the demons, and they should have no scruples and send troops directly.
However, Leon's initial attitude was not like this.
Then the answer to everything can only be the third possibility that the Wisdom Demon has not yet spoken.
Liao Yu guessed correctly.
The first two, Leon said it in a very relaxed tone, with the tone of wanting to do science for magic, but the next last possibility...
Leon took a deep breath, a hint of seriousness and nervousness in the snake's eyes.
"Thirdly, and what worries me the most, human beings have not forgotten us, to be precise, the rulers of human beings have not forgotten us, and everything we see now is a situation set by that ruler, a trap for our demons."
"They can't be sure if our people are really extinct, so they create the illusion that they know that if we still exist, then we will surely come back and wash away the defeat in the war of a thousand years ago, and it is true."
"And when we found out that humanity was so weak and no longer as strong as it was a thousand years ago, Dadaya's reaction at the beginning was what the human rulers had hoped for."
"Immediately take the initiative to start a war, so that our clan lost the biggest advantage in the shadows, and returned to the arrogance and arrogance of a thousand years ago, and if at this time, the ruler uses something hidden, we don't know the powerful power, then our demon clan will be exposed to the light, completely passive, it will really be irreparable mortal."
Hiss...
Interesting.
The third possibility of wisdom and demons was something that Liao Yu didn't expect at all.
After all, at first glance, it does sound a bit ridiculous and far-fetched.
Isn't this equivalent to losing 800 of oneself and injuring 1,000 of the enemy?
But if you taste it carefully, it seems that there is really some truth, especially when Liao Yu has a "prophet" matter that only he knows.
That is the Radiant Saintess who was filled out by herself in the questionnaire and has a high probability of being greatly strengthened.
Thousands of years ago, the Radiant Saintess of the Week was a character who was blown up by herself in the game.
The royal road of the White Lotus RBQ heroine.
Could it be that ...
After being strengthened, this saintess is not only strengthened by strength, but also by ruthless mind? From the White Lotus to ... White cut black? At any cost, you have to exterminate the demons?
Even...
Let's be a little more rational.
For the ruler, exterminating the demon clan is far more than a "thousand" weight, and the seal blocking the ascending channel of the people at the bottom cannot reach the weight of "eight hundred" at all, and even... Not even "self-harm"?
The more Liao Yu thought about it, the more he felt that this was not the over-cautiousness of Zhimo.
The world in a thousand years, perhaps... It's really much more than he imagined.
And the magic on the other side.
If it had been put before, Dadaya might have retorted that human beings have such a strong hidden power.
But the bloody history is ahead.
If there is a human demon like the "Child of Destiny" thousands of years ago, then their demon race will really be completely over, this is the shadow that lingers in the heart of every demon race, and you will be deeply afraid just by recalling it.
Seeing that Dattaya has understood.
Only then did Zhi Mo look at Liao Yu in front of him.
Although Leon was talking about his views just now, in fact, the wise demons have also been secretly observing Liao Yu, and their demon king's statement.
Liao Yu didn't know that in fact, every time he nodded to Zhimo, it was a great encouragement and affirmation for Leon.
also confirms Leon's speculation.
Really.
The Demon King had already thought of what he had analyzed, otherwise it would be normal for the strange and incomprehensible reaction of the magic demon Dadaya.
The reason why the king still deliberately asked himself was that there was only one reason left.
King... It's testing him.
Wang, like him, was also deeply worried about the demons, the third possibility.
After all, if this is the case, then the risk of their trip is tantamount to dancing on the tip of a knife, there is an extremely terrifying human mastermind behind the scenes, and the slightest carelessness is likely to make the entire demon race doomed.
Therefore, the king wants to test him, as a wise demon is qualified enough, as the king's right-hand man, he can be qualified to lurk in the human world to obtain information, and lay a chance for the great cause of the demon race.
Myself...
It shouldn't have disappointed the king, right?
Seeing that Liao Yu hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhi Mo's heart, which was still very stable and confident, began to panic.
After all, this is a very important matter, what if the king lets him go back, Leon, who was worried in his heart, really couldn't hold back, he gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask Liao Yu:
"King, below... Have you passed your test? ”
Liao Yu: "..."
What?
What test?
Hasn't he been quietly learning from Leon's analysis just now?
When did you test the wisdom and demons?
Liao Yu was a little confused.
But his expression management is well done.
Liao Yu, who was on the bright side, still looked as usual, and after staring at Leon for a few seconds, he said lightly: "Not bad." ”
Only then did Zhi Mo breathe a sigh of relief.
He hurriedly said, "It is a great honor for me to be recognized by the king!" ”
"In addition, please rest assured that in the future, I will also teach and urge Dadaya to learn, so that Dadaya can also reach the level of satisfaction of the king as soon as possible, please give the magic demon another chance to evaluate at that time!"
Belch...
You don't have to!
You really taught Dadaya too, so who will help you as a question baby next time?
Liao Yu complained in his heart, but he still had to nod in affirmation on the surface.
Especially in the magic demon that was criticized by Leon, Dadaya completely accepted it with an open mind, stood up and was beaten, and asked for another chance.
I feel that if it goes on like this, the painting style is getting more and more strange and deviated.
Liao Yu quickly changed the topic, took the two apostles, and carried out the next step in his plan.
No matter what happens in the human world, Liao Yu is immovable to control all changes.
The demon clan is the power he can control at the moment.
Relying on the demons, doing his best to develop his own intelligence network, and finding out the true outline of the world is Liao Yu's main goal, and all of this obviously requires... Money.
So what's next is simple.
For the demons, raise development funds for their two apostles.
In fact, this is something that can be done by the Wisdom Magic Devil himself.
But Liao Yu felt that he was a demon king after all.
You have to do something for your subordinates.
As for others, Liao Yu may not be as good as Zhimo, but in terms of robbery... cough, how to raise money the fastest in the human world, then Liao Yu is too familiar with it as a former "child of destiny", and he is too familiar with the road.
The glorious achievements of the heinous ones are not in vain.
