MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 71
To make matters worse - if it could be any worse - there were a large number of people standing at the stake. Since the start of Anxu’s quarantine measures, the market has been suspended, and the place with the most people is the burning frame. People who kill rats go here every day. How can hard-working people find it tiring? When they threw the mice into the fire, they were all very pious, and they also had a sense of responsibility of "making a contribution to the safety of Thunder Castle today".
Therefore, when they heard that the person brought by the gods was a "wizard", they glared at the masked man with the same hatred.
An Xu regretted it, she shouldn't (for the sake of convenience) want to speak with facts, she should have explained it clearly to the new NPC on the way just now! If there is a prompt at this moment, countless "favorability level -1" prompts may have started to flash the screen, and An Xu is starting to worry that the other party will become famous.
"It's not what it looks like!" she snapped back, "That stake only burns rats!"
"Now is the time for it to really perform its duties!" The foreign priests who had been shoveling ashes and chanting scriptures nearby after the leader was burned shouted excitedly. expression.
An Xu wanted to kick these pig teammates into the fire.
"Indeed, I am that wizard." The masked man said in a voice clear enough to be heard by everyone nearby, "I created this plague."
Fuck, An Xu thought, I said why recruiting is so convenient, are you here?
Everyone was in an uproar, and the onlookers became angry. The border army had to work hard to maintain order in order to calm them down. The masked man looked at them unmoved, waited for the noise to subside, and continued: "But I obey the oracle."
The crowd who had just been barely appeased boiled, the priests looked at each other, and even the border army had a little commotion. Without saying a word, the favored one flew up and made a quiet gesture to the crowd.
Forbidden.
The masked man looked up at the favored one, and nodded slightly at her. This person didn't seem to be overwhelmed by the prestige of the god-favored one, but seemed more calm.
"Here, I need to declare one thing, that is, I obey the oracle." He repeated again, "If anyone opposes the will of the gods, burn me to death."
"Are you worthy of lying oracles?" A priest blushed and jumped out angrily, "A wizard! You are still wearing mourning clothes, a widow who died of an alpha! You vicious monster!"
"I wear black clothes," said the masked man coldly, "because it is resistant to dirt."
"puff!"
Everyone looked up at the god-favored person who burst out laughing, the scene was very embarrassing.
The masked man must have great concentration, he easily broke free from the thick atmosphere, and bowed to the favored one. "I have heard about your feats, God's favored one, the thunder will lie low in your hands." He said unhurriedly, "Please cast a trial of thunder and lightning on me. If I am safe and sound, it will prove that I am It is true."
Everyone cast strange glances at the masked man. They all knew how terrifying the thunder of the God's Favored One could be, and they didn't feel that it was a force that humans could resist. Did the wizard ask for this because he overestimated himself and wanted to die in a different way, or did he really get the oracle? More than half of the superstitious believers in the god-favored ones have turned their backs quickly, and began to doubt the possibility that the plague came from heaven.
"Are you serious?" An Xu's eyes widened.
"There is absolutely no falsehood." The masked man said frankly.
Countless pairs of expectant eyes turned to An Xu, and for a moment An Xu was worried that he would kill this guy accidentally. What kind of recruitment condition is this? Is there an ability that "will not be killed by lightning"? She looked at the well-informed Jane and Charlotte, and from their expressions, there was nothing like that.
"You asked for it yourself." An Xu muttered, and let down a small thunderbolt, the force of which could probably paralyze a person to the point of falling.
The electric arc flickered in the air, like a ray of light, disappearing on the masked man. He remained motionless, and after a few seconds, he nodded to An Xu and said, "Are you satisfied with this level?"
This guy's stance, tone of voice, and content are all textbook-level sarcasm, and he is still the type who looks very civilized and polite, but for some reason makes people angry enough to rush to fight. "No!" Jane blurted out, looking up at An Xu, eyes full of urging.
The second thunderbolt fell, and the electric snake with thick arms rushed towards the masked man. The thunder light flashed on him and disappeared without a sound.
An Xu blinked his eyes, seeming to realize something.
The third thunder was as thick as a bucket, and the people who had already retreated a lot hurriedly moved further away to avoid it. The strong flash engulfed the figure, and people were stabbed so hard that they couldn't open their eyes. They waited until the crackling stopped before carefully removing their arms covering their faces. They saw a figure standing in the blackened clearing like a shadow or a nail, not even the cloak removed.
The sound of gasping at the same time merged into a sound wave.
"Thank you for your help." The masked man said, "The mission God entrusted to me has been completed, and it's time to leave."
He bowed again to the favored one, ignored the others, turned and walked out of the city. But at this time, no one felt that he was so arrogant that he didn't know the heights of heaven and earth. In people's eyes, those who can get the oracle should ignore ordinary people.
But there is one person who thinks otherwise.
An Xu descended and landed right next to the masked man. She clung to his shoulders as she flew down, feeling for his hands all the way, and confirmed what she touched before being opened: not soft skin, but hard wire, a bit like chain mail. Even the fingertips of the masked man were covered by soft armor.
An Xu smiled.
"Do you usually wear this outfit?" she said, sweeping from the mask to the boots exposed under the robe. "It's all iron... no, it's all silver, right?"
"Who doesn't like silver?" The masked man asked back, "Besides, I'm an old omega."
"It's okay, this is your freedom." An Xu shrugged and raised his voice, "But I must clarify that the plague is not an oracle, and you are not a wizard."
This twists and turns made many people show confused expressions.
"How many times have I told you that the plague will appear because of unclean food or water or living environment! There are germs... There is no self-awareness and evil spirits that cannot be manipulated by anyone!" An Xu said loudly, "Isolation is In order to prevent people from being infected, it is not to expel the guilty! It is not because of the crime that you will get sick! Whoever tells you that, throw him into the epidemic area to see if he gets sick!"
The priests shrank their necks.
"So do wizards, what are wizards? Do they raise black cats? What about those who raise black dogs? Do you cook strange soups? Do you want to burn people who are poor cooks? People who use supernatural powers to ignite fire and put water are everywhere Yes, what magic and witchcraft are you afraid of?" An Xu said bitterly, "I'm going to find someone who can cure diseases, but you are still here to make trouble for me! You will force anyone who takes a branch of science to call himself It’s God’s messenger, isn’t it plausible! Huh?”
People look at me and I look at you, their faces are like being scolded by the head teacher. The face under the silver mask twisted for a moment, not knowing what expression to show.
An Xu talked a lot, let out a long breath, and finally felt relieved. She straightened her expression and said to the masked man: "I know how you avoid thunder and lightning. You are wearing silver silk armor, and no part of your body is exposed, so thunder and lightning will pass through these silver threads all the way to the ground without hurting you." You, you are not relying on any gods or abilities, just 'knowledge'."
The masked man looked at her two steps away, with his hands wrapped around his cuffs, grabbing something.
"But, that's why I'm looking for you." An Xu looked at the other party with his most sincere eyes, "If you rely on some oracle to avoid thunder and lightning, I won't even bother you! But you In this way, I think you can understand me...you don't need to rely on the 'God's Mercy' that will come down at an unknown time, or luck. The laws of this world can be discovered, and people can change the world and save themselves. If not Do it, what is the difference between a human being and an animal waiting to be slaughtered!"
This excitement was not faked. When he found out what the masked man was wearing, An Xu felt elated, as if a traveler trapped in an ape had discovered his own kind. Use an undamaged good conductor to make a "cage body", so that the current can pass through it directly to the ground, and the body is not passed by the current-this is a Faraday cage! Middle school physics knowledge, high voltage anti-electric clothing manufacturing principle! An Xu's eyes were about to light up when he saw the masked man. He thought he was a medical talent, but physics has been advanced for hundreds of years!
The masked man's fingers trembled at these words, and he could hardly hold the object in his hand. He looked deeply into the eyes of the God's Favored One, trying to judge whether the words were sincere or flattering.
"There is no evidence for what you say," An Xu took out a copper coin from his pocket and handed it to the masked man, "I heard that you can make medicine, but have you studied evil spirits? It's not the theological concept, I mean the real one. source of disease."
The masked man nodded and took the copper plate. There is a small hole the size of a needle eye in the center of the copper plate, which is blocked by glass beads; a long needle is fixed on one side, and the tip of the needle is facing the small hole. An Xu asked someone to bring a glass of water, and put a drop on the tip of the needle.
The masked man watched her do this, looked at the copper plate thoughtfully for a few times, lifted it up, and held it up with the side without the needles facing down, facing the light.
He suddenly froze in place, the world he saw through the glass beads.
Countless tiny creatures were swimming, in groups or alone. Things as small as speckles crowded together, and a huge worm slowly swam past, even the ugly minions must be obvious. Ordinary people may be frightened when they see it for the first time, but in his eyes, all of this is as gorgeous as a starry sky, and suddenly many things that cannot be understood have been answered.
Leeuwenhoek's microscope is a tiny glass bead. After leaving the classroom for many years, Anxu only remembered this sentence. Fortunately, this is a world where all the supernatural beings who manipulate glass exist. She doesn't need to grind a lens for decades, she just needs to use her lips to get the supernatural beings ready.
Is this successful or not? An Xu looked at the stiff standing posture of the masked man and became nervous. She was about to say something more, when the masked man suddenly lifted his cloak, took off his helmet, and put his eyes close to Xiao Kongzai to look carefully. An Xu found a very nice face under the mask, but what caught the eye more was the focused expression of that person. He stared at the glass beads as devoutly as if staring at the door of mystery.
"I have a lot of things, like this one, but I lack someone who can use them." An Xu said.
The man turned to An Xu, staring at her like a falcon.
"Experimental environment, materials, equipment... I can provide you with everything I can provide. In my territory, you can recruit apprentices and assistants openly." The blessed man said, "I need you, for the mysteries of the world, For the present and future of mankind."
"Remember your words, Anna Sullivan, the Favored One," the man hissed.
"I swear on my soul." An Xu said.
"Alchemist Alva, hereby offer my loyalty...until the day you break your oath." Alva saluted, and this time he was much more sincere than before.
The moment he straightened up, he raised his hand towards the stake, and something flew into the fire. There was a loud explosion in the air, the flames rose several meters high, and the smoke column rose from the ground and lingered for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that people avoided the lightning just now, there would definitely be casualties right now.
"Please also remember that I have the ability to demand liquidated damages." Alva said.
Jane and Charlotte cast apprehensive glances at Alva, and An Xu completely lost his composure. Her eyeballs were about to pop out of her sockets, and the ecstasy and fright in her heart mixed into a garbled mess, making her expression fixed on the "slightly surprised" gear.
Who can tell me…
Why is the legendary pharmacist not only hundreds of years ahead of physics, but also hundreds of years ahead of chemistry?
This **** is black #火# medicine!
