Chapter 2081: Always Feeling Something is Wrong
Communication was interrupted. In the cave, Su Xiao began to organize his thoughts.
The main quest seemed complex, but in reality, it was very simple. The first few rings were all guidance, and the final goal was to find that 10,000+ ounces of Space-Time Power, which was Xia's location.
Space, splitting white goat, a large number of tentacles, the information was really too little, and what Su Xiao could infer was also very limited.
Fortunately, the main quest could play a guiding effect. The first ring of the main quest was to reach "Kiel City" and join the local Wizard Association.
This wasn't too difficult, but judging from the quest difficulty Lv. 49, it wasn't simple either.
Su Xiao came to the bottom of the cave entrance. Seeing this, Baja flew down, carrying Su Xiao and Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang out of the cave.
Bright sunlight came into view, Su Xiao let go of Baja's claws and landed steadily.
Under his feet was lush grassland, and a few wing-birds flew past from above, making crisp chirping sounds.
In the situation where a large number of contractors entered, this world was still in the cold weapon era, which showed that the contractors were restricted to a certain extent, such as not being able to guide the indigenous residents to develop technology, or the Wizard Association didn't allow it, or perhaps this world couldn't develop technology.
In most cases, the mysterious side and the technological side didn't look at each other favorably. As for which side was the correct development route, that depended on the situation of each world.
The area of the grassland where Su Xiao was was not large, and it didn't take long to reach the winding mountain range area.
Reincarnation Paradise had already prompted the location of "Kiel City," which was about 30 kilometers away from Su Xiao. The scenery along the way was good, and although he encountered many wild beasts, these wild beasts were generally weak.
Or rather, the extraordinary animals in this world were already endangered. In the eyes of wizards, their whole bodies were treasures. The concoction of potions required the organs, hair, etc., of extraordinary animals.
Wanting to become a wizard, it wasn't difficult to say it was difficult, and it wasn't simple to say it was simple. First was potential, which was a necessary condition to become a wizard.
Those with potential didn't become wizards through cultivation; that was useless. Potions were the key. Drinking potions was the beginning of a wizard.
Potential + potion = Gray Wizard. What kind of extraordinary ability a wizard obtained was closely linked to their own potential.
After an ordinary person became a Gray Wizard, they had about Tier 3 combat power. When they were familiar with their own abilities and underwent preliminary development, they could reach Tier 5 combat power.
This was almost unreasonable, but the fact was just like that. But it wasn't without risk. Drinking potions was an extremely dangerous process. First, one had to turn into a "monster," and then recover to be a human.
The process during this period was very cumbersome. Only the "Wizard Association" mastered the relevant technology. Precisely because of this, wild wizards were almost impossible to exist, and there was no need to exist, because the "Wizard Association" was not a power institution. After becoming a wizard, one could just hang a name, and could also enjoy various benefits. No new wizard would refuse.
Gray Wizards had the opportunity to continue to become stronger. Some wizards became stronger through battle, while others through bitter cultivation. There were various ways to become stronger, but one point couldn't be bypassed, which was the need to frequently "meditate" on the Wizard's Eye.
Su Xiao didn't know exactly what the Wizard's Eye was. It was said that every wizard could "meditate" on it.
After a Gray Wizard promoted, they became a Secret Law Wizard. For wizards of this level, the combat system was completely fixed, possessing Tier 6 combat power. The number of Secret Law Wizards was very small, and there were differences in strength between them.
As for the strongest Immortal Wizards, there were only three, and all of them were still alive. Those three Immortal Wizards were the highest power holders of the "Wizard Association."
Su Xiao's feeling about wizards was that the power was obtained too quickly, so fast that it was somewhat abnormal.
With Su Xiao's speed of travel, he soon arrived near "Kiel City." When he was far away, he saw the low city walls.
Looking from a distance, one could find that the scale of Kiel City was not small, roughly equivalent to a modern town.
Such a city should have had towering city walls, but the city walls of Kiel City were less than five meters high, and one could clearly see a spire building inside the city.
This situation showed that there was no war in the wizard world, nor was there any invasion by foreign races, so there was no need to build the city walls so high. Building a city wall was mainly just to mean something, to block wind and sand, and to avoid wild beasts entering the city, etc.
Marching to the city gate, Su Xiao didn't see any city guard army. Civilians were entering one after another here. Looking at their expressions, they were long used to entering and leaving the city freely.
Thump~ thump~
The sound of a bell came from inside the city. Su Xiao's footsteps paused, and the sound disappeared immediately.
Su Xiao mixed into the crowd entering the city, and through the porch of the city wall, he entered Kiel City very smoothly.
Just after entering the city, Su Xiao heard bustling human voices. Street vendors were hawking, and there were quite a few pedestrians on the street. The stone road was not clean, with all kinds of suspicious objects. After being exposed to the sun, these suspicious objects emitted an unpleasant strange smell.
"Catch the thief!"
A vendor wearing gray hemp clothes and an angry expression shouted.
A thin figure ran on the street. His face was dirty, and he looked less than ten years old.
This little boy didn't run far before he was grabbed by the back collar by a large hand.
A man wearing a metal helmet, wearing armor, and with cold eyes lifted the little boy up. Judging by his attire, this man should be a soldier in the city.
"I, I was too hungry..."
The little boy was scared to the limit, his whole body shaking.
"Shut up."
The soldier carried the little boy, his peripheral vision drifting toward Su Xiao, as if Su Xiao was a "special" existence worth noting.
Although the Wizard Association wouldn't directly manage civilians, it had various subordinate departments to manage them. That soldier was a member of the "Guard Army," mainly responsible for public security in the city.
But in the final analysis, power was still in the hands of wizards. After all, they possessed absolute power. What was wonderful was that wizards wouldn't easily interfere with the lives of civilians. The two reached a wonderful balance. Because their needs were different, they wouldn't go to exploit civilians, leading to large-scale uprisings.
Most wizards were obsessed with occultism. They needed extraordinary items, and after civilians obtained extraordinary items, they basically had no practical use. The best way was to sell them to wizards and get a large sum of silver coins. Silver was very sacred in this world, more expensive than gold, gems, etc.
Watching that soldier walk away, Su Xiao had thoughts in his eyes.
"An interesting division of the power system, but what exactly is wrong?"
Don't know why, Su Xiao felt that this world was very abnormal. As for what exactly was wrong, he couldn't say it for a while. It seemed... everything he saw was covered by something.
"Boss, that tallest building must be the Wizard Association."
"Probably."
"Woof."
Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang barked. That meant it felt that the surroundings were wrong. No, the whole world was wrong. After it blended into the environment, it could vaguely smell a decaying smell.
Just as Su Xiao was about to continue walking forward, a woman walking toward him caught Su Xiao's attention. This was clearly a rule-breaker. The number of rule-breakers in this world was unbelievable.
Walking toward him was a woman wearing a single-sided earring, chewing something in her mouth. She also noticed Su Xiao. After pausing for a moment, she continued to walk toward Su Xiao.
"The scenery you see now is not bad, right."
The female rule-breaker blinked at Su Xiao, clearly having no intention of fighting Su Xiao, and her words were very meaningful.
Until the female rule-breaker walked away, Su Xiao didn't make a move. He didn't have the habit of being nosy. The other party was not a rule-breaker from Reincarnation Paradise. Otherwise, Reincarnation Paradise would have given a prompt.
Under the scorching sun, Su Xiao arrived in front of the tallest building in the city. This was a spire building, about thirty meters high. The outer wall hadn't been repaired for a long time. This was the branch of the Wizard Association.
Along the way, Su Xiao was thinking about what exactly was wrong. This world was abnormally stable. Every person on the street could see happiness and satisfaction on their faces.
