"Why?"
Magnum III's nails dug into the flesh of his palms, and the stimulation caused by the pain pulled him out of his trance. In his eyes, there were only two pistols that looked similar but were completely different in nature. His voice was slightly trembling:
"I don't understand why this is happening."
"You just don't dare to say it, right?" Zhou Li crossed his arms and said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I can help you say it."
Here it comes again, this arrogance that irritates me.
Magnum III did not turn his head. The arrogance that disgusted him from the bottom of his heart and brought him inexplicable fear spread from Zhou Li once again. He didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand, and his scarlet bloodshot finger fell on the trigger of the magic gun.
"Because God just wants you to be a bunch of monkeys."
"Monkeys, you can only be monkeys. You can become monkeys with professional powers, or even demigod monkeys second only to gods. However, you cannot become humans."
That infuriating sarcastic smile appeared on Zhou Li's face. He didn't shy away from the soldiers studying around him, nor did he care about the pale old housekeeper. He just looked at Magnum III and told the cruel reality calmly and indifferently.
"The iron rule in this world is that professionals must be aloof, and extraordinary power must not be common to ordinary people."
"As long as professionals, a group with powerful individuals, exist, the civilization of this world will definitely not develop. The status of mortals will always be low, because they have no way to overthrow the rule of professionals through revolution or resistance. Magic energy can only become a vassal of professionals and can never become an independent system."
"I have read a lot of books about magic energy in Yingnan. What I can see is that after magic energy was studied, most professionals in the world have a hostile attitude towards it. They believe that, This extraordinary power that ordinary people can master is the temptation of the devil, and it is a power that will bring destruction to mankind. Therefore, in the first hundred years, magic energy has been regarded as evil by professionals. Anyone who dares to study magic energy Anyone will be sentenced to death."
"At that time, the gods didn't care about anything. They would even ask their churches to take in those intellectuals who were persecuted because of magic energy to prevent them from being hunted down by professionals. But after all, professionals are all over the world, and most of them want to study Once anyone with magical powers is discovered, they will be strangled directly without any leeway."
Zhou Li looked at Magnan III. His trip to Yingnan brought him the most valuable harvest, which was all kinds of knowledge about magic energy. It was this knowledge that gave Zhou Li hope. He looked at Magnum III, with a mocking smile, and asked a simple question: "Test you a historical question. In the first magic energy revolution, what did Vast invent that gave magic energy its true meaning? Popularity on the Internet?”
"Magic Adapter."
Magnum III, who already understood what Zhou Li wanted to say, looked up and sighed, closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Vast invented the magic energy adapter. It is a kind of magic energy signal that can convert the power of professionals. A technological product used to accurately control magic energy. This is the world history of Magnum University and is a required course. The second section is about this chapter."
"Let's not talk about how great the Magic Energy Adapter is, nor its historical achievements. Let's simplify it, simplify it again, and finally summarize it."
Zhou Li stretched out his hand, and a limiter-like crystal that could only be controlled by professionals appeared in his hand. He looked at the exquisite creation in his hand, tilted his head and said mockingly:
"This thing turns the magic energy that originally allowed civilization to evolve into a toy for professionals."
"Since then, magic energy has become the exclusive property of professionals. Without professionals, magic energy cannot be activated at all."
Holding the crystal tightly, with a crisp sound, fine glass fragments fell from Zhou Li's hands to the ground. His eyes focused on Magnum III's face, raised the corners of his mouth, and asked softly:
"Guess who is leading all this?"
There is no doubt about the answer.
Magnum III's silence is the best answer.
All illusions were completely crushed today.
"The magic firearm itself is actually not scary."
Zhou Li picked up the alloy revolver and lifted it up. A twisted ball of light condensed at the muzzle of the gun. He pulled the trigger, and the purple ball of light suddenly exploded. A burst of heart-stopping energy poured out, completely annihilating the steel target in the distance.
"It cannot track the enemy, cannot be attached with armor-piercing magic, needs to be reloaded, is easily damaged, and cannot improve the user's physical fitness. In a battlefield where professionals are running full-body, the magic firearm itself is actually not enough to look good."
"However, magic firearms embody another fact that scares even the gods."
Condensing his professional strength, Zhou Li raised the magic pistol and pulled the trigger. The bullets burst out and hit the target, making a crisp sound.
"Humans want to spread magic power to mortals."
"God will never allow this."
Looking at Magnum III, Zhou Li said calmly: "One hundred and fifty years ago, the first magic firearm came out. From then on, Twelve Moments, which had always had a mild attitude towards magic energy, began to become nervous. They began It is vaguely revealed that magic energy represents the power of destruction, and if used in battle, irreversible disaster will occur. Starting at the twelve o'clock moment, the church is prohibited from using magic energy firearms, and it will no longer purchase weapons related to magic energy."
"Later, the advantages of magic firearms were discovered. When they were about to become popular, an inexplicable invisible force prevented people from using such weapons. Soon, magic firearms began to disappear, at least, people did not Now I can think about the meaning behind magic firearms."
Magnum III, who understood the meaning behind the firearm, felt a chill. He stood there in a daze, looking at the human-shaped target riddled with holes in the distance, his thoughts racing.
"I initially thought that your world is an existence with the highest degree of civilization. You are the savior who controls everything outside this planet, and you are the gods who come to save our tiny planet. Because you can see the stars and you can touch them. Knowledge outside the world. You have even left the land beneath your feet and traveled to other worlds."
After a long time, Magnum III asked Zhou Li in a hoarse voice: "Please tell me truthfully, the civilization of your hometown world has not developed to the point I imagined, right?"
"That's right."
Zhou Li did not deny it. He nodded and said truthfully: "I can tell you this, the civilization of my home world even lags behind yours. Because our individuals are fragile and have no concept of profession. At the same time, our energy acquisition The method still remains at boiling water. Our main energy source is simply incomparable to magic energy."
"It can be said that the technological level of this world exceeds that of my world. But you are like a group of primitive people, using primitive weapons to engage in barbaric wars under an underdeveloped national system."
"Because no matter how advanced your technology is and how powerful your magic energy is, in the final analysis, magic energy only serves a small group of professionals in the entire world. And the most numerous mortals will never have access to magic energy. This is what you use The reason why we are still standing still for a whole thousand years.”
"I can tell you that magic is the only way you can see the stars."
Zhou Li looked at Magnum III with an astonished expression and said firmly: "Magic energy is the only possibility for this world to create a higher-level civilization."
"That's why they learn these things, right?"
How much time passed, Magnum III could no longer calculate. He just felt that the time was a bit long, and the long time made him feel pain and sadness. He raised his head and asked in a trembling voice of an old man: "Can this world be saved?"
When the butler on the side heard this sentence, his eyes suddenly widened, and an incredible expression appeared on his face. As a steward who had served Magnum III for decades, he had never heard this obsidian-silent and resolute emperor show such a desperate and sad expression.
He just heard that the gods were targeting magic energy, and that His Highness the Brave seemed to be unfriendly to the gods. The steward didn't understand why his emperor was so desperate. It is obvious that the emperor has ten invincible legions under his command. It is obvious that Magnum is the most powerful superpower in the world and has tens of millions of professionals. Why should we despair?
This is a professional.
"I have no idea."
Facing Magnum III's almost pleading inquiry, Zhou Li shook his head and replied calmly: "I only noticed the problem of magic energy from a perspective that does not belong to this world. As for whether this world can be saved, it is not up to me. It’s up to you.”
"What I'm doing now is actually no different from what you did before. I just equipped a group of professionals with magic firearms. To be honest, even if the gods see it, they won't care."
Shrugging, Zhou Li said nonchalantly: "To be honest, I'm not an inventor. At least in my world, I'm just a liberal arts student. I don't know anything about the principles of science. So don't think about it. I helped you set up the technology tree, but that’s unrealistic.”
"I have told you so much. Actually, I just want to tell you who the real enemy is and what binds you to this planet. Of course, I can also show you the current strength of the Second Army. ,only…"
Zhou Li looked at Magnum III, who had a gloomy expression, and hummed, "It seems you are not in the mood right now."
"well."
Magnum III let out a long sigh. The truth revealed to him by Zhou Li had a huge impact on his values in this life. At the same time, he finally let go of his illusions and recognized his real enemy - the gods.
"Of course, even though I'm here, I still want to meet your second brave man."
Zhou Li turned around, waved his hand, and said with his back to Magnum III: Don't forget, your cheap daughter is also a visitor from another world. She may understand some things better than me. "
The breath of silence spread in the fortress. Magnum III looked at the Second Legion who was immersed in studying at the side, with complicated emotions flashing in his cloudy eyes. After a long time, he looked at Zhou Li, who had his back turned to him, and asked:
"Is the starry sky beautiful?"
"Beauty is such a subjective thing, I can't give you an answer."
Zhou Li shrugged, then paused and continued:
"But, I can tell you that the starry sky is very big, very big. This world is not even a speck of dust in the starry sky."
"Thanks."
Closing his eyes, Magnum III spoke. At this time, he did not have any aura of decadence. He returned to his usual appearance, calm and collected.
"Thank me for what?"
Zhou Li put his hands in his pockets and asked nonchalantly: "I am forcibly waking you up from your deep sleep in a house that is about to collapse. You could have left quietly in your sweet sleep. Now it's better. You still have to wake up?" You have to die sober.”
"I'd rather do that."
Magnum III looked at Zhou Li, and he smiled, a relieved smile he had never seen before.
"At least I still have dignity when I'm sober."
***************************************
There were only two people in the huge arena.
A short-haired girl wearing silver heavy armor and holding a sword and shield stood proudly on one side. With his sharp short hair, heroic appearance, and meticulous expression, Don Quixote is like a beautiful statue, dignified and full of artistic beauty.
Compared to Don Quixote, Torea, who was wearing light armor and holding a silver spear, looked a little thin. Her long blood-colored hair was tied back casually by a black headband, and her ponytail swayed gently in the breeze. There was a restrained edge in those blood-jade eyes, and the elegant appearance was full of coldness, as beautiful and untouchable as the moon in the clouds.
One person holds a gun and the other person holds a sword and shield. The two stood quietly in the center of the arena, no one spoke, and no one launched an attack. They are all waiting for an opportunity.
Close your eyes.
Just a blink, a blink beyond expectations. The light of glory flashed on Don Quixote's tower shield. She lowered her body, and her legs exploded with jaw-dropping terrifying power. In an instant, Don Quixote was like a meteor, carrying a huge force, smashing Torea, who was not far away.
Facing the menacing Don Quixote, Torea did not panic. She exerted slight force on her waist and inserted the silver spear into the yellow sand field. The next second, Torea's beautiful figure was hanging upside down in the air. among. With a flick of her wrist, the spear glowed with silver light, but in an instant, Torea fell from mid-air to Don Quixote's side, the tip of the spear pointed directly at Don Quixote's eyebrows.
Don Quixote made a quick decision, stomped his right foot hard and stopped, and his tower shield blocked Torrea's spear. At the same time, she used the remaining strength of her forward thrust to lift the long sword in her hand, and a burst of "qi" from the sword's edge burst out, heading straight towards Torea who seemed to have no time to dodge when she retracted the gun.
Let go, lean back, step back.
These two actions perfectly avoided Don Quixote's counterattack. But in response, the spear in Torea's hand fell to the ground. Just when Don Quixote breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let Torrea, who had lost her weapon, admit defeat, she saw Torrea falling backwards with the same expressionless iceberg expression. At the same time, there was another person. A .44 Classic Magnum pistol.
I*, Magnum Iai!
