Wizard: Become stronger by drawing cards from the potions variety show

Chapter 514: On the News

The moonlight was as silver as silver, sprinkling on the balcony of the principal's office of the Endless Secret Academy.

Li Daoxian stood on the balcony, looking at the Revelation Tree that was growing stronger and stronger in the square not far away.

Catherine, wearing a light-colored dress, walked up to him with a gentle look in her eyes.

Li Daoxian turned around and said with a smile: "Why are you here? This robe is very beautiful. I remember you wore this when we first met."

"Thank you." Catherine looked at Li Daoxian with concern and asked, "Everything is going according to your plan, but you still don't seem very happy?"

Catherine originally came to congratulate Li Daoxian.

Even when the Shadow Society had directly declared war and Lafayette was at the gate of the academy, Catherine was not afraid at all, because she knew that Li Daoxian never did meaningless things, and as long as he chose to take action, the outcome was already determined.

She was very confident in Li Daoxian.

Now everything is going according to Li Daoxian's idea, but after getting closer, I found that Li Daoxian does not seem to be happy.

"Is it the candidate assessment for the Underground Parliament?" Catherine asked softly, with a hint of tentativeness in her tone.

During this period of time, the name of Snake Eye has spread from the Snake District to the entire Chaos Hub, and even other cities have more or less received some news that the original Emerald Thieves and Shadow will be merged into Snake Eye to form a behemoth.

Under normal circumstances, this size has exceeded the power of the normal underground parliament, and there is no need for the underground parliament to stop it.

After all, in this situation, their support is no longer needed. In fact, if Li Daoxian is not brought into the parliament, it will restrict and hinder them in many things.

"No." Li Daoxian replied softly, "The matter of the underground council has already ended. If I choose to cooperate with them, they will definitely give me a place."

"I just need to go over there for a while."

"I need some time, and they also need a guarantee. We both get what we need. I have done too much in Abisovor recently, and I need to calm down for a while. This is a good time to try to expand our influence outward."

"We just have to wait for a reply from the parrot and see if we can complete it."

Li Daoxian plans to expand the Snake Eye chain stores outward. Of course, if it is open to the outside world, it should not make a clear distinction between store functions like the Snake District, but present it as a complex.

The biggest advantage of the Snake Eye chain is its strong control over personnel and short employee training cycle. They only need to follow the steps prompted by the revelation tree step by step to complete the potion to the greatest extent.

After all, every employee has a constant ability called "Sinclair's Experience (Weakened)".

Now, Snake Eye has a steady supply of reinforcements. Even if there is a real shortage of manpower, there are players who can fill in. With the resources of both the Shadow Society and the Emerald Thieves, both the manpower and sphere of influence are sufficient to support external development.

The foreign bases of both parties can even be used directly to provide additional supplies on the basis of the original intelligence intermediaries.

These are all means that can achieve rapid development in a short period of time.

Catherine listened silently to the person in front of her, who was speaking slowly and calmly about his plan. Her gaze rested deeply on Li Daoxian's profile, her eyes burning.

It was just so calm, as if everything was under control, which made Catherine like it very much.

After Li Daoxian finished speaking, Catherine asked, "Since this is not the issue, is there anything else?"

Li Daoxian did not answer.

He rested his hands on the stone railing of the balcony and looked out at the central courtyard of the academy.

After a long while, he slowly spoke: "Catherine, you have also discovered it recently."

Hey?

Catherine was slightly stunned.

Li Daoxian continued, "As time went by, as my rank increased, or as time changed, I seemed to have some problems."

Catherine frowned. This description sounded like a sign of mental alienation.

However, as a top potion master, Li Daoxian should have an absolute understanding of mental alienation, and it is impossible for him not to know what it represents...

Li Daoxian continued: "Now my mood rarely changes, just like the past and the present, just like this night, just like the drink in this cup..."

Li Daoxian pointed at the wort in Catherine's hand. At this moment, there was no ripple in the cup, and it was as calm as a dead object.

Li Daoxian continued in a calm tone: "I seem to have lost the ability to empathize with my previous life, and I have also lost the ability to respond to many things."

"I now seem more comfortable and more appropriate with the same face."

Li Daoxian pointed to his own face.

"It seems that I just need to stay like this and keep this expression. Unless it is necessary, I need to use the sarcastic words I read in novels to squeeze the pure value out of them."

"Is that all?"

"Since when did this start?"

"I should be a very sunny boy."

"It was only a few months, but I felt like a long time had passed. I became like an old man."

"Tell me, is there something that is taking away my emotions bit by bit?"

Li Daoxian asked softly. Obviously, from his calm tone, one could sense that Li Daoxian had also been thinking about this question for a long time.

However, Catherine could not answer these questions.

Li Daoxian once thought that maybe he was affected by his "second sight", had seen too much fate and too much future, so he became as crazy as Trelawney.

He also thought that it was because he advanced too quickly and his spirit had not fully adapted, which led to some discomfort.

He also thought that perhaps it was because he had stripped away a part of his soul. Although this part of the soul built a place of value in another world and completed the "Seven Deadly Sins" by sublimating emotions, it also extracted the emotions of the original body.

He even doubted his own system...

But no matter which answer it is, it seems unable to fully summarize Li Daoxian’s current situation.

Li Daoxian sometimes has an obvious illusion that the whole world seems special.

"I can clearly see the trajectory of fate, but it seems that underneath the trajectory of fate, there is another set of logic that can be traced..."

Catherine listened to Li Daoxian speaking slowly, and suddenly she seemed to hear a clicking sound like gears in her brain, as if she heard the sour sound of gears disengaging.

She felt a strong threat, as if something deadly was approaching her. Her whole body was cold, and even next to Li Daoxian, she could still feel the strong shadow of death looming over her.

Countless inaudible whispers echoed in her ears.

Just then, a warm hand held her hand.

The increasingly heavy mumbling suddenly faded away, as if someone suddenly pulled her out of the cold sea.

Catherine came to her senses and found that the wort in her hand had fallen to the ground at some point and spilled all over the floor.

Li Daoxian asked with some concern: "Are you okay?"

Catherine shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm just too... surprised to hear this."

Li Daoxian laughed, and his smile was very gentle: "Did I scare you?"

Catherine shook her head repeatedly: "No, how could that be, I just feel sorry for you, you are not in a good condition now, but I can't help you."

Catherine was feeling a little down.

Through what happened just now, Catherine could confirm that Li Daoxian must have encountered something and what he said was not false.

However, Li Daoxian's progress was too fast, so fast that she couldn't even understand what he said. Even if she thought deeply about it, she would encounter great fear, and she couldn't help her.

Catherine's eyes dimmed.

Li Daoxian held him in his arms and said, "As long as you can listen to me, it's good enough."

Catherine leaned on Li Daoxian, her cheek against his chest, rubbing against him like a kitten, took a deep breath, and then said softly: "I can't help much, but if you really have any questions, maybe you can ask our mentors, Gordon or Maggie..."

Li Daoxian nodded: "I have the same idea, but not now. Once I have dealt with the matters at hand, I will go to visit Mr. Gordon in person."

The night wind blew again, and the moonlight was still cold, but to Li Daoxian and Catherine, nothing was more comfortable than now.

……

Blue Star.

Dayuan City Abnormal Handling Bureau.

The tense atmosphere seemed to freeze the air.

On the huge display screen, there are continuous reports of abnormal events in Dayuan City and even all over the country.

Red alerts flashed blindingly, and lines of data and analysis scrolled rapidly.

"The evil activity index has increased again." A technician spoke as calmly as possible, but still could not hide the worry in his tone, "and it is growing exponentially... There has never been such a fluctuation before."

On the other side, the sound of the communicator continued to be heard.

"Director, other cities have been asking us for support. How should we respond..."

During this month, the frequency of various S-level anomalies increased significantly. In Xia Country, S-level anomalies appeared in eleven cities, including Dayuan City.

Abnormal events appeared like a blowout. Along with S-level anomalies, the originally rare A-level anomalies also became more frequent. As for the B-level and C-level anomalies that originally seemed fatal, they now seemed to be commonplace.

But in fact, Class B and Class C anomalies can already directly threaten the lives and safety of ordinary people.

Except for the anomaly in Dayuan City which has been resolved, other cities are trying various methods to fight against the seal and are still in the confrontation stage. All cities have suffered heavy losses.

Most cities turned to Dayuan City for help.

After all, judging from the current situation, except for the relatively safe green area within Dayuan City and the relatively safe yellow area in Kyoto mixed with small areas of green, all other provinces and cities are extremely high-risk red.

In other words, Dayuan City not only perfectly resolved this wave of abnormal incidents, but also maintained a level of safety within the region.

Before this, Zhuang Chenggong wanted to provide support and asked Wang Yu to control the place of value and allow players to carry out tasks across regions, but Wang Yu refused.

According to Wang Yu, it is not the right time yet.

It was precisely because of this incident that Zhuang Chenggong cursed Wang Yu, saying that he had become a running dog of the Values ​​and had completely lost his humanity.

However, facts have proved that Wang Yu's judgment was correct.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

While other areas were still struggling with an S-level abnormal event, Dayuan City, which had just resolved the "Mirror World Devourer", suddenly experienced a new S-level abnormal event "Broken Truth".

The "Broken Truth" can gradually make the logic and physical laws in an area invalid, and it grows very rapidly. If it weren't for Wang Yu's warning, if it hadn't appeared in Dayuan City, the growing "Broken Truth" would probably have paralyzed everything in Dayuan City.
