The third-level technique "Lifting 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.
Returning to the main street, it was already very late at night. Most of the "Light Luminous Techniques" in the street lamps on both sides had been extinguished. Under the rich night sky, not many people could be seen around.
Walking in the lonely environment, Liao Yu was still thinking about the scene at the auction.
In the game, humans who started thousands of years ago are indeed much inferior to demons, but the "many" gap here is just like high school and college.
Take the fourth- and fifth-level spells as an example.
For humans thousands of years ago, it was also very difficult, but it was by no means an insurmountable chasm. A smaller country might have hundreds of great mages in their thirties or forties, and a larger kingdom or empire could have thousands of them. So many.
Later, with the invasion of demons, although mankind fell into war and suffered heavy casualties, it also greatly stimulated mankind's potential.
During the hundred years of the war between humans and demons, the archmages exploded like a well. Under the madness and encouragement of themselves, the "sons of destiny", they also brought out many levels of forty and fifty, reaching " A brilliant genius in the realm of "Magister".
Not to mention, among humans thousands of years ago, there was a native who was even more perverted than him as a "player", the absolute legend in the magic world at that time, the Great Guardian Melvin.
This legendary figure, as one of his masters in the game, has created countless fourth- and fifth-level spells in his lifetime, laying a solid foundation for the world of human spells.
And its own level and strength are even more powerful than the eighty-year-old demon Dadaya.
By the end of the war between humans and demons, Liao Yu could say without exaggeration that the human mage army at that time was almost able to catch up with, or even surpass, the demons.
However, after the victory of the war, thousands of years passed...
In Liao Yu's imagination, without him as the "Son of Destiny" to take various rolls, even if human beings no longer progress, but eating the inheritance from him and the inheritance from the Great Guardian, they will not regress too much. ?
result...
As a result, "Lifting Technique", which was the most basic introductory technique for the mage army thousands of years ago, is now regarded as a rare treasure and is used as the highlight of the auction.
A fourth-level spell has become rare in a century and can only be passed down by word of mouth. A fifth-level spell is even regarded as... a legendary existence?
This is a step back.
This is like going from college to junior high school, no, it should be elementary school.
Why is this happening?
Liao Yu urgently needs an analysis report from a professional.
And it just so happens...
There is one next to him.
Liao Yu did not show his inner confusion.
On the contrary, as if chatting casually while walking at night, Liao Yu turned his head slightly and said to the wise demon who had been following him silently: "Leon, what do you think?"
Of course Zhimo knew what Liao Yu was referring to.
Rather, he had actually been waiting for Liao Yu to speak.
Wang deliberately didn't speak just now and kept walking silently, which should give them time to think and prepare to speak.
And now, it was time for him to show himself before the king.
Leon will not live up to his reputation as a smart demon.
"King, it seems that the strength of most human beings after a thousand years has indeed declined to an incredible level." Leon first affirmed the conclusion.
"It seems we can launch an attack directly."
This was the intervention of the magician next to him.
Liao Yu did not respond.
The magician was rejected by Leon quickly shaking his head.
"Dadaya, don't take things too simply."
"Before we understand why humans have become like this, I do not recommend that demons be exposed in any form."
"So Mr. Leon, what do you think is the cause?"
The thirst for knowledge and exploration of magic demons has always been the strongest among the demons.
This is one of the reasons why Liao Yu brought Dadaya with him.
He wanted to prostitute the wise demon for free, but also wanted to maintain the image of the devil. At this time, he needed another person to ask the wise demon for him.
Just like Dadaya now.
"Right now, our information is limited. From what I can surmise, there are roughly three possible directions."
Leon did not explain directly, but first asked the magician: "Dadaya, if you were the ruler of mankind, would you like the vast majority of mankind to be stronger or weaker?"
"Mr. Leon, I don't think this is a problem. Of course, the stronger, the better."
"You are wrong. This is the difference in thinking caused by the difference in the way of survival between us demons and humans."
"Because our clan has been fighting all year round, every time we exhaust the resources of a world, we must immediately go to the next unknown world. Therefore, we must ensure the combat power of each clan member and make the entire clan stronger."
"However, human beings are different. They have a rich world of their own and unparalleled creativity and sustainable development capabilities. Therefore, for them, peace and stability are the primary factors they need for survival."
"If I were the ruler of mankind, then I would control all the core power in my own hands. As for other humans under my rule, I hope that they will always remain in a weak area that is not beyond my control."
Listening to Zhimo's analysis, Liao Yu couldn't help but nod.
really.
After all, there are real examples on Blue Star. In the context of technological civilization, firearms are actually equal to magic.
During the war, everyone has a gun in their hands. If they are higher-level arms, they can be upgraded, from rifles, machine guns and even individual rocket launchers.
But after the war ended, during peacetime, all these murderous weapons disappeared, at least as far as civilians were concerned.
And those rulers who choose to give civilians deadly weapons...
If you look far away, there is a hole in your forehead. If you look closer, there is a hole in the chest with a shotgun.
After all, Liao Yu is a human being and lives 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 come around.
"Shouldn't all human rulers be so selfish?"
Ju Mo understands this as the rulers abandoning the interests of the ethnic group in order to safeguard their own rights.
This is indeed one aspect.
But not quite.
"You are wrong." Leon shook his head in denial again, memories flashing in his erect snake eyes.
"During the thousand years since we were sealed, I took the opportunity to read many human history books - the history of mankind before our race appeared. And if I want to summarize, the most in human history should be four Character."
"Killing each other."
"This is also the second possible direction I want to talk about. The inheritance of human power has broken down at some point in the millennium. The most likely cause of this break is... war. From the mutual fighting among human nations.”
"The brutality of the war caused the destruction of human civilization and the loss of all past inheritances. In order to prevent this from happening again, the victors of the war, the new rulers of mankind, sealed the knowledge and sealed those powerful inheritances."
"It's like a dispute between two ordinary humans, at best, one death and one injury. A fight between two mages might result in the destruction of a shop, but if it's two great mages, then our street might be destroyed. No longer exists, and the two magisters..."
Zhimo did not give any more examples.
The upper limit of the spells corresponding to the magician is level 7, and the level 7 spells, at best, can flatten mountains, at worst, they can be like a vision of heaven and earth, summoning thunderstorms and tornadoes, making the earth crack and tremble. is within the scope.
Not to mention that there are eight levels and nine levels further up, and even the "Superposition Ceremony", which has the terrifying power of overthrowing a country with a raise of a hand.
Think about it this way...
Um.
A gap in the inheritance of civilization?
It does make sense, Liao Yu nodded again.
Although he has never experienced this personally, there are many games, movies, novels, etc. that have discussed this issue. The most classic sentence on the Internet is also the same as what the wise demon said.
[We don’t know what weapons were used in the Third World War, but we are sure that the Fourth World War will be fought with stones and sticks]
This was analyzed by the wise demon.
Liao Yu really felt enlightened and understood a lot all of a sudden.
The demon next to him was also thoughtful, and his previous doubts and incomprehensions turned into something he seemed to understand.
That’s it for the two possibilities.
Although Liao Yu agrees with Zhi Mo, he also admires Leon's power. As a demon, he can think so thoroughly in a short time, and he is indeed worthy of the name of Zhi Mo.
but...
From the current point of view, it seems that no matter which method is used, it will be beneficial to the demon clan. They should not have any worries and just send troops directly.
However, Leon's initial attitude was not like this.
Then all the answers can only be the third possibility that the wise demon has not yet said.
Liao Yu's guess was correct.
For the first two, Leon spoke in a very relaxed tone, with the tone of wanting to popularize science about magic, but the last possibility...
Leon took a deep breath, with a hint of seriousness and nervousness in the snake's eyes.
"Third, and what worries me the most, mankind has not forgotten us. To be precise, the rulers of mankind have not forgotten us. Everything we see now is a trap set by that ruler. A trap for us demons.”
"They couldn't be sure whether our race was really destroyed, so they created such an illusion, because they knew that if our race still existed, we would definitely come back and wash away the failure of the war thousands of years ago. This is indeed the case."
"And when we discovered that human beings are so weak and no longer as strong as they were thousands of years ago, your initial reaction, Dadaya, was exactly what human rulers hoped for."
"Immediately taking the initiative to launch a war has caused our clan to lose its biggest advantage in darkness and return to the arrogance and arrogance of a thousand years ago. And if at this time, the ruler uses some hidden power that we don't know, Then when our demons are exposed in the open and are completely passive, it will really be an irreversible doomed situation."
hiss...
interesting.
The third possibility of Zhimo was something that Liao Yu had not expected at all.
After all, it does sound a bit ridiculous and far-fetched at first glance.
Isn't this equivalent to losing eight hundred to oneself and one thousand to the enemy?
But if you take a closer look, it seems that there is some truth in it, especially since Liao Yu also has a "prophet" matter that only he knows.
That is the glorious saint who has a high probability of being greatly strengthened by filling in the questionnaire [very simple].
Thousands of years ago, the Glory Saint of Zhoumu was a character in the game who received a lot of gold coins from her.
The royally designated white lotus rbq heroine.
Could it be that...
After being strengthened, this generation of saints has not only strengthened their strength, but also has a ruthless mind? From white lotus to... white cut to black? Do you want to destroy the demon clan no matter how high the cost?
even...
Let’s put it more purely rationally.
For the rulers, annihilating the demon clan is far more than the weight of "one thousand", and the seal blocking the ascending channel of the lower class people cannot reach the weight of "eight hundred" at all, and even... "Loss" doesn't even count?
The more Liao Yu thought about it, the more he realized that this was not Zhimo being overly cautious.
The world a thousand years from now might be... far more simple than he imagined.
And the magician on the other side.
If it had been put before, Dadaya might have retorted, how could human beings have such strong hidden power?
But the bloody history lies ahead.
If another human monster like the "Son of Destiny" hides out thousands of years ago, then their demon clan will really be completely over. This is the shadow that lingers in the heart of every demon clan. Just recalling it will make you deeply fearful.
See Dadaya has realized.
Only then did Zhimo turn his gaze to Liao Yu in front of him.
Although Leon was just expressing his opinion, in fact, the wise demon has also been secretly observing Liao Yu, their demon king's statement.
Liao Yu didn't know that, in fact, every time he nodded to Zhi Mo, it was a great encouragement and affirmation for Leon.
It also confirmed Leon's guess.
really.
The Demon King had already thought of what he had analyzed, otherwise the strange and incomprehensible reaction of Demon Demon Dadaya would have been normal.
There was only one reason why the king still asked himself deliberately.
The king... was testing him.
Like him, Wang was also deeply worried about the demons, the third possibility.
After all, assuming this is the case, 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. If they are not careful, the entire demon clan may be doomed.
That's why the king wants to test him, whether he is qualified as a wise demon, and whether, as the king's right-hand man, he is qualified to lurk in the human world to obtain information and lay a chance for victory for the demon clan's great cause.
Own...
You shouldn’t have disappointed Wang, right?
When Zhimo saw that Liao Yu had not spoken yet, his heart, which was originally very stable and confident, began to panic.
After all, this matter was of great importance. What if the king asked him to go back? Leon, who was worried in his heart, couldn't hold it back. He gritted his teeth and took the initiative to ask Liao Yu:
"King, I... have you passed your test?"
Liao Yu: "..."
What?
What test?
Hadn't he been quietly analyzing and studying with Leon just now?
When did you give yourself a test to the wise demon?
Liao Yu was a little confused.
But his expression management was very good.
On the bright side, Liao Yu still looked as normal. After staring at Leon for a few seconds, he said calmly: "Not bad."
Zhimo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly said: "It is a great honor for me to be recognized by the king!"
"In addition, please rest assured, the king. I will also teach and urge Dardaya to learn more in the future, so that Dadaya can reach a level that satisfies the king as soon as possible. Please give the magician another chance to take the test when the time comes!"
Well...
No need to!
You really taught Dadaya a lesson, then who will be the questioning baby for you next time?
Liao Yu was complaining in his heart, but he still had to nod his head in approval.
Especially when the magician was criticized by Leon, Dardaya completely accepted it humbly, stood at attention to be beaten, and begged for another chance.
I feel like if this continues, the style of painting will become more and more weird and off-kilter.
Liao Yu quickly changed the subject and took the two apostles to carry out the next step in his plan.
No matter what happens in the human world, Liao Yu remains immobile to control all changes.
Demons are the power he currently has control over.
Liao Yu's main goal is to rely on the demons, do his best to develop his own intelligence network, and find out the true outline of the world, and all of this obviously requires... money.
So what's next is simple.
To raise development funds for the demon clan and his two apostles.
In fact, you can let the smart magician do this by himself.
But Liao Yu felt that he was the devil after all.
You have to do something for your subordinates.
As for other things, Liao Yu may not be able to compete with the wise demon, but when it comes to robbing... well, how to raise money as quickly as possible in the human world, Liao Yu, as a former "child of destiny", is too familiar with it, and he is too familiar with it.
This heinous and glorious achievement did not come in vain.
