Chapter 2082: The True Appearance of the Wizard World

Entering the Wizard Association branch from the main entrance, because the windows were relatively narrow, the interior of the Wizard Association branch was slightly dim. The severely worn wooden floor and black rock walls magnified this style: dim, mysterious, no strangers allowed. This was the feeling the Wizard Association gave people.

After entering, Su Xiao found that it was not big, overall narrow and long, and the black stone walls on both sides were somewhat damp.

Walking forward, after walking a few meters, a display window composed of wooden bars appeared in the left wall. The bottom one meter of the display window was stone, and there were worm-eaten traces on the wooden bars. A figure sat behind the wooden bars, his whole body covered in gray-brown roots, revealing only a face, sitting on a wooden wheelchair.

Click~

Like wood trembling, the old face buried among the roots opened its eyes. These were turbid and dull eyes without spirit.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang hid behind Su Xiao. It suspected that this thing would suddenly crash through the wooden bars and swallow it in one bite. In reality, this was a wizard. If one didn't provoke him, there was no great risk.

"You're here."

The old wizard's voice was somewhat hoarse. Strangely, he didn't ask Su Xiao what his purpose was, etc. He just opened his mouth with "You're here."

"Who are you?"

Su Xiao always maintained vigilance. Before entering the city, he felt that something was wrong.

"I can only help you join the Wizard Association. Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me, Hunter of Reincarnation Paradise."

The old wizard raised his hand buried in the roots and handed out a piece of parchment that was about to shatter.

"Kill all 'them', let those poor people deceived by potions... know the truth. They can 'see clearly' this world, but they are indifferent. Pitiful human nature, how could power be obtained so simply."

The old wizard smiled, smiling both bitterly and helplessly.

"..."

Su Xiao basically understood in his heart. The information for this mission was too little, and this old wizard was clearly one of his own.

"That's right, I'm one of the few who are still awake. Sign it, and you will see the true appearance of this world. What you see now is just the scene 'they' want you to see."

The old wizard let go of the parchment in his hand, and Su Xiao grabbed it.

【Prompt: The Hunter has obtained the Contract of True Sight.】

【This contract has no risk. After signing this contract, the Hunter can lift the world restriction.】

【Warning: After lifting the world restriction, the Hunter will see the true appearance of this world.】

【Current difficulty of this world: Lv. 10～Lv. 52.】

【Current difficulty of this world after lifting the world restriction: Lv. 49～Lv. 56.】

Su Xiao thought for a moment and finally chose to sign.

【You have signed the Contract of True Sight.】

The moment Su Xiao signed the contract, the surrounding environment changed drastically. The walls became dilapidated, and the wooden bars were severely corroded, with some positions about to break.

Dilapidated, decaying, all bright colors were eroded by time.

"This is the appearance of this world."

The old wizard laughed self-deprecatingly. Su Xiao didn't pay attention to the old wizard, but quickly came to the door of the Wizard Association branch and looked at the street.

Everywhere he looked was dilapidated. The wooden houses were covered in stains, and the wood in some places had rotted into slag.

The pedestrians on the street were sallow and thin, and the clothes on their bodies were not only old but also patched with many patches. The only thing similar to before was the fruits and vegetables on the street stalls. But compared to being tender and full before, now these fruits and vegetables had become shriveled, and some stalls were displaying rotten vegetable leaves.

A few gazes were cast toward Su Xiao. Clearly, these civilians had noticed Su Xiao before.

"Young man, do you want to eat?"

An old woman selling fruits picked up a bunch of grapes on the stall. This bunch of grapes had lost its moisture and was about to become raisins, but the kindness in the old woman's eyes didn't fade because of this bunch of dry grapes. Compared to the fake "happiness" Su Xiao saw before, this was the truth. Although poor, it was kind.

The whole city had changed. There was no warm sunlight in the sky, but dark clouds were gathering.

The scene Su Xiao saw before was not an illusion. That little boy, soldier, etc., all truly existed, but they were just disguised. This world was full of malice toward outsiders.

"Thank you, not for now."

Su Xiao turned back into the Wizard Association branch. Many of his doubts were resolved. This world didn't forbid the development of technology, but it couldn't be developed at all.

Su Xiao was still wondering before why the information in this world introduction was so little. Occultism prosperous? Of course prosperous. Apart from being able to develop occultism, this world couldn't develop anything else.

And the rule of the Wizard Association, no, there was no need for rule at all. The civilians' food and clothing were a problem. Who had the heart to rebel?

Or rather, what was the use of rebelling? This was caused by the environment and had nothing to do with who was in power. The Wizard Association only needed to maintain basic order, plus guarantee the currency system. Everything else didn't need to be managed. There was no need to worry about that leisure.

Of course, there was no kingdom in this world. The king led the people to prosperity. Judging from the current situation, there was no need for a king, and it was impossible to exist.

What Su Xiao was more curious about was what kind of existence had covered up the true face of this world before. It wasn't that some kind of illusion was cast on Su Xiao, but that everything was covered up.

Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had reminded Su Xiao many times before that after it blended into the environment, it could smell a decaying smell. Now it seemed that this was a normal situation.

Space, splitting, Su Xiao suddenly thought of these two points. These two points were not superimposed together, but were independent.

Su Xiao lightly pressed his forehead. He felt that he was going to die many more brain cells.

"The scene outside is the true appearance of this world."

The old wizard was clearly older, and fine cracks appeared on his face, like old wood cracking.

"What caused it?"

Although Su Xiao didn't quite believe the old wizard, the other party was the only clue for the main quest.

"Because of the existence of 'them', 'they' are sucking this world, like greedy giant babies."

"'They'?"

"Ah, 'they', those standing at the highest point."

The old wizard always had no emotional fluctuations, or rather, his emotions had dissipated for the most part due to some reasons.

"Are they those three Immortal Wizards?"

"Not really, those three are also pitiful people, once great pitiful people. You might see them soon, in the Wizard City."

The old wizard pressed a mechanism on the wooden wheelchair, and a secret door opened on the stone wall behind Su Xiao.

"It can still be used ten times. You are the 59th. Once there were contractors, adjudicators, and Hunters who all tried. I hope you can succeed, or... die in the Wizard City."

"..."

Su Xiao pressed one hand on the hilt of his sword. He hated others speaking unclearly. What "they", either don't say it, or say it clearly. Encountering this kind of god-talking, he was prepared for physical negotiation.

Noticing Su Xiao's action, the old wizard, who almost had no emotions, was slightly stunned.

"Are you, going to kill me?"

Just as the old wizard's voice fell, Su Xiao received a Reincarnation Paradise prompt.

【Warning: The Hunter is forbidden to harm Secret Law Wizard Hugh Archid. This is a friendly unit!】

Su Xiao let go of the hilt and turned to look into the secret door. A teleportation array was flickering with a faint light on the ground.

Su Xiao now understood completely why Reincarnation Paradise and Holy Light Paradise traded in this world, because this place was too special, or rather, it was precisely this specialness that reached the prerequisite conditions for the transaction.

Standing on the teleportation array, Su Xiao's next stop was the Wizard City.
