……
Seeing that Lin Jiu had signed the contract without any operation, Su Xiao did as he was told. He had long known from Lin Jiu that there was a lot of room for maneuver in contracts, and he had learned a lot. He had always been very cautious about such things. However, Lin Jiu was unlikely to make any mistakes, so he could trust him.
The moment they signed the contract, the surrounding environment changed drastically. The walls became dilapidated, the wooden railings were severely corroded, and some parts were about to break.
"This is what this world looks like." The old wizard laughed self-deprecatingly. Su Xiao ignored the old wizard and quickly walked to the branch of the Wizard Association and looked at the street. Everything he saw was dilapidated, the wooden houses were stained, and the wood in some places had rotted into dregs.
The pedestrians on the street are pale and thin, and the clothes they wear are not only badly worn but also covered with patches. The only scene similar to the past is the fruits and vegetables sold at the street stalls. However, compared with the fresh and plump state before, these fruits and vegetables now appear dry and shrunken. Some stalls can only put out rotten leaves for sale.
"Young man, do you want some?" An old woman selling fruit picked up a bunch of grapes from the stall. The grapes were severely dehydrated and were about to turn into raisins. However, the kindness in the old woman's eyes did not diminish because of the dried grapes. Compared with the disguised "happiness" that Su Xiao had witnessed before, this was the real and simple side of life. Although life was poor, this simple kindness was priceless.
Lin Jiu did not look at the street, but looked up at the sky. The whole city had changed. There was no warm sunshine in the sky, but dark clouds. The scorching sun just now was an illusion. But Lin Jiu could feel that behind the dark clouds, the decaying sun was emitting its last rays of light, trying to bring one of the few rays of hope to this decaying world. But the thick dark clouds, like the haze that shrouded the world, ruthlessly intercepted this warmth in the sky.
The scene Su Xiao saw before was not an illusion. The little boy, the soldiers, etc., all really existed and were just disguised. This world was full of malice towards outsiders. He looked sideways and found that Lin Jiu, who was always a little cynical, had a little more seriousness in his eyes.
It seemed that in his impression, this guy rarely showed such an expression. In the battle, he would go all out, but his temperament always had a frivolous feeling. This was the first time Su Xiao saw Lin Jiu like this.
"It's an interesting world." Su Xiao suddenly felt that the trip was worthwhile, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't look at me like that. It's just the sun of this world telling me its wail." Lin Jiu noticed Su Xiao's eyes, buried his emotional changes, and returned to his indifferent look.
I returned to the main business. After seeing the true appearance of the world, many doubts in my mind were solved. It is not that this world does not allow the development of technology, but that it cannot be developed at all. Why is there so little information in the introduction of this world? Mysticism is flourishing? Of course it is flourishing. In this world, except for the development of mysticism, nothing else can be developed.
As for the rule of the Wizarding Society, no, there is no need for rule at all. The civilians’ food and clothing are already a problem, so who would have the mind to rebel?
In other words, rebellion seems meaningless, because the problem is rooted in environmental factors and has nothing to do with who holds power. The wizarding society only needs to maintain basic social order and ensure the stable operation of the monetary system. There is no need to intervene too much in other aspects, and there is no need to cause trouble for themselves.
Of course there is no kingdom in this world. The king leads the people to prosperity. Judging from the current situation, the king is unnecessary and impossible to exist.
Rich? In this world, even the sun is decaying. The scarcity of various materials is an inevitable trend of development. Only special areas like the Black Abyss and the Dark Land do not need the sun's light.
“Perhaps I encountered the only weird ancient god last time.” Su Xiao thought that the world became like this because the ancient god sucked the world, and suddenly realized something.
I seem to have encountered an ancient god in a native world. That ancient god was called Moon God. Now that I think about it, Moon God is really an outlier among the ancient gods. That native world developed well, and there were even people who borrowed his power.
"I wonder what the scene would be like if the sun of this world was completely detonated." A crazy idea came to Lin Jiu's mind, but he quickly threw the idea out of his head. Not to mention whether he could do it or not, if he really did it, there would be no benefit to him except a grand fireworks show. He would not do such a thing.
Lin Jiu turned around and saw Su Xiao habitually put his hand on the hilt of the knife. He was most annoyed by these guys who talked nonsense, and was ready to have a physical negotiation with them. But then the reminder from the Reincarnation Paradise put an end to his idea.
[Warning: Hunters are prohibited from harming the arcane wizard, Hughes Archide, as he is a friendly unit! ]
Seeing that Su Xiao was forced to let go of the knife handle, Lin Jiu smiled unkindly. Why did Samsara Paradise and Holy Light Paradise trade in this world? Because this world is so damn special. Or, it is precisely this specialness that made the preconditions for the transaction. At least the physical negotiation method that Su Xiao is good at cannot be used, and he, the negotiation expert, has to take the stage.
"This old..."
"Hurry up and get on the teleportation array." The old wizard interrupted Lin Jiu directly. He naturally knew that Lin Jiu and the others could not hurt him, so there was no need to worry about anything.
"This old fool!" Lin Jiu cursed inwardly, and took Isabella and the others to the legendary formation. Baha on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to, so he could only hold it in, because Lin Jiu really knew how to pluck the hair.
The teleportation array was gleaming. Compared to the teleportation array in Samsara Paradise, this one was much simpler. The array diagram was covered with black stains and some parts were damaged. Lin Jiu suspected that it was difficult for this thing to teleport one person, let alone so many of them at once. He didn't know if it would break down halfway.
The world around me was torn apart like an old film, quickly twisting into a ball, and a bumpy feeling came from all around. After a while, the scene in front of me returned to normal, and the world that was broken into strips was pieced together again and slowly healed.
A faint musty smell drifted into his nose. Su Xiao looked around and found himself in an old room. The room was mainly built of black rock, and the wooden furniture had become somewhat black over time. The wax on the candlesticks piled up, but the candlelight was still burning tenaciously.
Baha and Bubuwang were teleported together, but there was no sign of Lin Jiu's team. This puzzled Su Xiao. Could this teleportation array be used to teleport in batches? However, Su Xiao was not too worried about Lin Jiu's safety. He knew that guy's ability to survive best.
