The city of Kiel is not small in size, about the size of a modern town. Normally, such a city should have tall city walls, but the height of the city wall of Kiel is less than five meters, and a spire-roofed building can be clearly seen from the outside.
This phenomenon shows that the wizarding world has not experienced war or foreign invasion, so there is no urgent need to build city walls. The main function of the city wall is to symbolically mark the boundaries and block wind and sand and prevent wild animals from entering the city.
When they reached the city gate, they did not see any city guards. Civilians were entering one after another. Judging from the expressions of these people, they were already accustomed to entering and leaving the city freely.
They mixed in with the crowd entering the city, passed through the porch of the city wall, and entered Kiel City smoothly. As soon as they stepped into the city, they were surrounded by the lively voices. The hawkers on the street were shouting one after another, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians on the street. The stone pavement was not very clean, and various unidentified objects were scattered. Under the strong sunlight, these objects emitted an unpleasant odor. This made Lin Jiu want to burn the filth around him with a fire.
"Catch the thief!" shouted an angry peddler wearing gray linen clothes.
A thin figure ran on the street, his face was covered with dirt, and he looked less than ten years old. The little boy didn't run far before a big hand grabbed his collar. A man wearing a metal helmet, armor and a cold look lifted the little boy up. Judging from his attire, he should be a soldier in the city.
Although the Wizarding Society does not directly govern civilians, it manages them through its subordinate departments. The soldier is a member of the "Guards", who are mainly responsible for maintaining public order in the city.
However, in the final analysis, the real power still lies in the hands of wizards, who have absolute power. It is worth noting that wizards usually do not interfere in the lives of civilians without reason, and a delicate balance is formed between the two. Due to the difference in their needs, wizards do not overly oppress civilians, thus avoiding large-scale resistance or uprisings.
Most wizards are obsessed with the study and practice of the occult, and they seek otherworldly objects. For ordinary people, even if they accidentally obtain these otherworldly objects, they are often unable to make practical use of them. Therefore, selling them to wizards in exchange for a large amount of silver coins becomes the most reasonable choice. In this world, silver is regarded as a sacred metal, and its value even exceeds that of gold and gems.
Su Xiao felt that this world was very abnormal. He couldn't tell what was wrong for a while. It seemed that... everything he saw was blocked by something.
If he still didn't know everything, he would indeed feel confused, but the process of inferring conclusions was not difficult. After learning from Lin Jiu that there were ancient gods in this world, it was not difficult to see that everything he felt was wrong was due to the influence of the power of the ancient gods.
When they walked down the street, they would encounter a violator walking towards them. However, Samsara Paradise did not indicate that the violator was from Samsara Paradise, and they would not care. The "traitors" from other paradises had nothing to do with the hunters of Samsara Paradise. There would be no reward for killing them, and it would only be a waste of time.
Soon, everyone locked their sights on the tallest building in the city. It was a pointed building, about thirty meters high, and its outer wall had not been repaired for a long time. This was the branch of the Wizards' Association. Generally speaking, the main quests released by the Samsara Paradise would not be exactly the same, unless they were faction quests with the same goals.
At this time, the first link of Lin Jiu and Su Xiao's main mission is to join the wizard association, which means they will have to deal with the largest organization in this native world. In a sense, they are indeed carrying out a camp mission. Their mission goal is to recapture supplies, and they represent the Samsara Paradise camp.
"What a fake sunshine..." Lin Jiu looked up at the blazing sun hanging high in the sky. Normally, no matter which world it was, as long as there was still the sun hanging in the sky, no matter how strong the sunlight was, it would bring a sense of warmth to him. But at this moment, the sunlight in the sky gave him a sense of coldness and illusion. It was not a real sun at all.
At the same time, Lin Jiu also felt that behind the illusory appearance, the sunlight shining on him had a sense of decay. It can only be said that this world is still holding on, which is simply a miracle. The power of the Sun Star is projected in various worlds, but after all, it is not the real Sun Star and will still change with the situation of the world.
The shattering of the Sun Star temporarily increased the power of the Sun projections in each world, because the power of the Sun was dispersed. But the result was that these Sun projections became rootless duckweed, and their nature was no longer "eternal". Otherwise, even if the wizard world was eroded by the ancient gods, the situation of the Sun would not be so bad.
"Perhaps such a corrupt solar power can burst out with even more violent force." Lin Jiu couldn't help but think in his heart.
The group entered the branch of the Wizards' Association through the main entrance. Due to the relatively narrow windows, the interior of the building seemed a bit dim. The severely worn wooden floors and black rock walls further deepened this atmosphere, creating a dim, mysterious and unwelcoming feeling, which is exactly the impression that the Wizards' Association gives to the outside world.
The interior was not very big, it was long and narrow, and the black stone walls on both sides were a bit damp. After the two walked forward for a few meters, a display window made of wooden bars appeared on the left wall, and the bottom one meter high part of the window was made of stone.
Traces of worms can be seen on the wooden fence. A figure is sitting behind the wooden fence. His whole body is covered with gray-brown roots, with only his face exposed. He is sitting in a wooden wheelchair.
"You...you are here?" Like a tree trembling, the old face between the roots opened its eyes, which were cloudy and lifeless. The old wizard did not seem to expect that there were two hunters coming, and a rare smile appeared on his face. Lin Jiu knew that this was because the old man knew that the hunters from the Samsara Paradise were definitely the most threatening existence to the source of danger in this world. Two of them coming at once was a good thing for them.
"I can only help you join the Wizarding Society. Life or death has nothing to do with me, the hunter of the Paradise of Reincarnation." The old wizard raised his hand buried in the roots and handed out a piece of parchment that was about to break.
"Kill them all, and let those poor people who were deceived by the potion... know the truth. They can [see] the world clearly, but they are indifferent. It's pathetic human nature. How can power be obtained so easily?" The old wizard smiled, a smile that was both bitter and helpless. Perhaps he only woke up and understood this after he reached the end.
"I am one of the few people who are still sane. If you sign it, you will see what this world really looks like. What you see now is just what they want you to see." The old wizard split the parchment in his hand into two and handed them to Su Xiao and Lin Jiu.
This step had already been arranged by the Samsara Paradise. Lin Jiu was not surprised at the appearance of an extra piece of parchment, because he was familiar with the feel of this parchment. Wasn't it the parchment used by the Samsara Paradise when drafting the contract?
