Versatile Mage: I can control you until you die.

Magic City, Qingtian Hunting House.

In the attic, Xu Fang sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and breathed evenly.

The light around him was hazy, as if distorted by some force, swirling and trembling with his consciousness.

Xu Fang slowly raised his hand and touched the air with his fingertips, as if there was something there.

Beep~~~~~

Wherever his fingertips touched, circles of rippling air expanded and spread outward, obediently allowing him to throw them to the ground.

Xu Fang took out a glass from the hidden star and threw it to the ground.

Snapped!

The glass shattered!

downstairs.

Lingling was sipping her milk tea without relish. She looked up when she heard the voice.

Fall again.

Over the past month, there have been dozens of cups every day. Even if these cups are unlucky and worse than those in the rotten factory, and you, Xu Junsi, don't feel sorry for them, can you at least feel sorry for the floor?

————This is made of a strange teak tree. In the future, even old man Bao’s coffin may not be so luxurious!

But what surprised Lingling this time was that there was no pause upstairs as usual, instead the second sound came very quickly!

The third time!

Then came the sound of intensive footsteps on the stairs!

“Hahaha, Master Xu, I’ve done it!” Xu Fang rushed over holding a cup that was covered in cracks but hadn’t cracked at all: “Look!”

"What is this?"

"The broken glass. I used chaos magic to reverse time and restored it to the way it was one second ago!"

Xu Fangke is so happy!

It's one small step for glass, but one giant leap for chaos magic!

"Hey, your grandfather isn't here?" Xu Fang looked around and didn't see Old Man Bao. He originally wanted to consult him about the more advanced art of blending into the world.

"My grandpa has been gone for three days, and you just realized it now?" Lingling complained.

"Leaving? What for?" Xu Fang asked curiously.

"I went to the Asian Magic Association. The election for Grand Speaker has reached the final round. As a former priest of the Holy Court, his words carry a lot of weight." Lingling said.

Xu Fang sighed: "It's already the last round, time flies so fast."

"Hey, big brother, can you please stop complaining about people like you who don't know whether they are hungry or full when they are in seclusion? The election campaign started last year! All major media platforms are filled with candidates' speeches every day, don't you even take a look?" Lingling said speechlessly.

"How can short videos be as fun as practicing?"

"... As long as you are happy, but speaking of the election." Lingling said: "Have you heard? You definitely haven't heard that a county in the Barat Coast has disappeared!"

"What's the connection between the two?"

"Of course it matters!"

Lingling said: "What does it mean that a county has disappeared? Not only the residents, but also the houses, streets, and land have all disappeared. Tens of thousands of people have disappeared!

This is arguably the most serious vicious incident in modern times. If the local Internet had not been extremely underdeveloped and the news had not been suppressed immediately, it would have been on the front page of the news and discussed like crazy!

This time no candidate from Bharat made it to the final round, which means their votes are completely free to be determined.

During the election, this issue was brought up, and both Speaker Shao Zheng and the other candidates said they wanted to get to the bottom of this matter!"

Xu Fang: "I see, so what you mean?"

"Let's go to Barat!" Lingling's big eyes glittered, "Let's find out the truth of the matter!"

Going to Bharat?

"I want to practice Chaos now, or cultivate Ice Element. I don't have any plans to use my body as a guide to practice Poison for the time being." Xu Fang said tactfully.

"You go ahead!"

Lingling was anxious.

Mo Fan is still in America. It is said that he is fighting with either government troops or rebels. If she wants to go, she can only rely on Xu Fang!

"Let me think about it."

"Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead!"

It was a rare occasion for Lingling to act like a spoiled brat, it was like sprinkling a whole bag of white sugar on the rice, making Xu Fang so sick that he got goosebumps.

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm really scared of you." Xu Fang said helplessly, "I'll talk to Chairman Shao Zheng first. If he says no, we won't go!"

"Okay!" Lingling said confidently.

Xu Fang called Shao Zheng.

Shao Zheng agreed readily.

"Just now I was worrying about who should solve the problem, but I didn't expect you to come to my door... You took the initiative to volunteer."

Shao Zheng said: "I won't lie to you. Some enemies want to delay the election by using this incident as an excuse. If you can resolve this matter neatly, my side will be completely stable.

When the time comes, I will arrange a parliamentary position for you, just like Zhu Meng and Han Ji, so that you can mobilize resources more easily and avoid any blind person looking for trouble with you."

"Thinking too much."

Are you looking for trouble with me, Xu?

I worked so hard to kill the monarch, became a military commander, and now I’m in charge of the base city in the rear area. If I’m bullied again, I might as well go back home and grow sweet potatoes!

Since I have decided to go to Barat, I will put aside the Chaos Super Level for the time being. It will not be too late to break through to the Super Level after I have a deeper understanding of the law of time.

And the agreement with a certain saint can only be postponed for a while.

······

High altitude, dedicated airspace.

The white-winged dragon spread its wings and flapped them powerfully, making crisp crackling sounds in the air.

Xu Fang and Lingling stood among the feathers of the white-feathered Asian dragon, their hair blown high, revealing their proud hairlines that would make programmers envious to tears.

"Barat said that this matter must be kept low-key and must not be disclosed to the outside world before the results of the investigation are known. Therefore, we do not have the support of the local military magician." Lingling shouted.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem." Xu Fang said.

He was often surrounded, and what he feared least was being surrounded.

Lingling was still chattering about her arrangements, but Xu Fang didn't listen and looked down.

He saw a dark, winding line of cliffs separating the vast expanse of land from the vast blue ocean.

The eighth level of mental strength enhances not only the mind, but also the five senses. The white water petals of the waves hitting the cliff can be seen from thousands of meters away.

"That's the town over there... There's not even an ocean dam around here, how dare these residents live here?"

The town is not big, and the coast is full of fishing boats. At first glance, they look impressive, but in the face of the turbulent sea, they are shaky and weak like chicks.

Lingling took out her computer and checked: "This section of the coast is under blue alert!"

"Don't apply our country's infrastructure to other countries. This is called freedom and relaxation." Xu Fang said, "Let's go to Mengmai first and meet the people from the embassy."

White-feathered Asian dragon accelerates.

Soon, the coast disappeared on the horizon, and a bustling city appeared before their eyes.

"I rely on?"

What did they see?

Ocean dams?

“What the hell?” Even the knowledgeable and talented Lingling was confused. The seaside where the dam was most needed had no dam at all, yet a towering dam was built inland?

"There is a barrier on the outside, and it's of a fairly high level, so it's probably the core of the earth. Let's go to the outside first and then find a way to get in." Xu Fang said.

If you just break in, you will most likely be marked. If it's in China, it doesn't matter. Xu Fang can use facial recognition at any time. But if it's abroad, forget it.

Lingling jumped onto his back skillfully, and Xu Fang took off directly from the white-feathered dragon.

A leap of faith!

sieve! sieve!

The two people's bodies kept twisting in the air, flashing to another position, and even stopped in mid-air in an extremely unscientific posture.

A little bit of chaos trickery that works really well.

The white-feathered dragon roared and its body slowly disappeared into the white clouds.

Soon, Xu Fang and Lingling appeared on the ground, in a cramped little corner.

"my God!"

It was the first time that Xu Fang wanted to use the word "thick" to describe a certain taste, but the shanty town in front of him made it happen.

The strange smell gave people an illusion of being greasy and suffocating. The rotting plants, the damp clothes caused by water vapor, and the feces and urine were suffocating.

The scariest thing is that it seemed to rain yesterday.

Mix together

The surroundings are filled with tightly packed small shacks, low board houses built with various wooden boards and iron sheets, each shack is no more than ten square meters.

It was a little after eight o'clock and many people had just gotten up.

Four, five or even six people actually managed to squeeze out of such a small shack!

These people have dark skin, oily faces that reflect light, and thick mustaches that catch people's eyes.

Xu Fang and the other person, whose painting style was totally different from theirs, suddenly became the focus of attention.

Lingling couldn't help but shrink behind Xu Fang.

She felt like she was being stared at by many hyena-like eyes.

This is not some fairy YY at all, because these people's eyes are staring straight and unscrupulous!

"Who is in charge of your area?" Xu Fang asked.

Others stood in awe.

International language!

And it’s an international language without the flavor of curry!

In this country, Interlingua is like English in another dimension. It is a must for the elite. If you can't speak it, you will be excluded.

Soon, a young policeman who was a little fatter than the others and equally dark and shiny was called over.

"Do you know an international language?" Xu Fang asked.

The young policeman shook his head.

————In this country, shaking your head means nodding, and nodding means shaking your head. Even though it’s confusing, those who understand will understand.

Amid the expectation of everyone and the proud eyes of two people who were obviously his parents, he communicated with Xu Fang in his broken international language.

"Where is the Chinese Embassy?" Xu Fang asked.

The policeman had a calm smile on his face and told Xu Fang in a calm tone that he didn't understand.

"Where are the nearest Chinese, Chinese, Chinese?" Xu Fang simplified the vocabulary as much as possible.

The young policeman understood and gestured: "Come, follow me!"

As soon as I took a step, the crowd automatically parted.

On the way, the young man picked up a watermelon from the stall with ease, punched it open and asked Xu Fang and Lingling to eat it.

The two of them looked at the red juice dripping from his fist and then dripping back into the watermelon, and they instantly lost their appetite.

The young policeman didn't get angry and ate by himself.

The vendor next to him smiled apologetically and didn't mention collecting money at all.

How do you say that?

Forget about eating a few of your rotten watermelons. I don’t even ask the price when I eat at a restaurant in the city!

Lingling couldn't bear it, so she threw a few coins when the young policeman turned around. The vendor quickly blocked them with his clothes and put them back into his pocket like a thief.

There were already a lot of people here, crowded on the street, and a complex smell accompanied by hot steam rushed straight to the head.

Xu Fang pulled Lingling in front of him.

Soon, the young policeman found a weathered middle-aged man from the stall.

The middle-aged man was wearing a ginger-colored short-sleeved shirt, and the area from the collar to the chest was soaked orange with sweat. He was sweating profusely in the crowd.

He was holding a selfie stick in his hand and recording a video.

"Oh guys, it's too hot. There are so many people here and it's hot. Let's go buy a glass of mango juice and drink it."

The vendor opposite was holding a mango, the kind that had not been peeled, and he chopped it into small pieces and threw it into the juicer.

Xu Fang observed carefully and found that the mango was grabbed with his left hand.

————If he remembered correctly, the left hand seemed to be used for washing the buttocks, which was inherently unclean in the local culture.

The middle-aged man obviously noticed it, but I don’t know if it was for the show effect or he really didn’t care, he drank it all in one gulp.

"Done, brothers, clean..."

“Clean and hygienic.”

A strange voice was heard, and it was in Chinese. The middle-aged man was stunned and turned around to find a policeman leading two people who looked like compatriots.

"Hello, someone is looking for you." The young policeman's attitude towards him was completely different from his attitude at the watermelon stall before. His greasy face exuded kindness.

"You are···"

"Where is our embassy? Would you mind taking us there?" Xu Fang held out his hand. "My last name is Zhang, and I'm the third child. You can call me Lao Zhang or Zhang San'er."

"Just call me Yongzi."

Yongzi was quite enthusiastic: "How could our embassy be in this shanty town? If you want to go there, you have to go to the inner city. Come with me. I have something to do in the inner city."

······

"Mumbai is divided into three parts. You have seen the largest part, the slum area on the periphery. After entering the dam is the rich area, and the more central part is where officials and embassies of various countries are stationed." Yongzi said.

As they were talking, the three of them had already arrived at the magnificent dam.

It is like a giant elephant crawling on the ground, almost comparable to the Xiamen Defense Dam and the Tokyo Naval Battle City Dam!

"Why build the dam here?" Lingling asked, "There are still many residents outside..."

"This is the protection umbrella of the big shots. In their eyes, how can those parasites who receive welfare be worthy of enjoying protection?" Yongzi said.

Lingling's theoretical knowledge and knowledge of demons are comprehensive. From slaves to supreme monarchs, there is little that she cannot study thoroughly.

But she didn't know much about the life of the lower class in a foreign country, as evidenced by her last trip to Siberia.

"If the sea level rises, people outside the dam will either be drowned or killed by demons," said Xu Fang.

"Hey, how can it be that simple?"

Yongzi sneered: "When the time comes, these bigwigs will do good deeds. As long as you pay enough money, they will allow you to temporarily take refuge in the inner city!

As for the life in the inner city? Just work! Just do your job! It's good enough that the master lets you live, so why would you be picky? "

As they spoke, the three of them came under the dam.

Seeing that the three people had faces that were different from his own and looked fair due to adequate nutrition, the guarding military magician did not stop them and let them in smoothly after the registration procedures.

After thanking Yongzi, I headed straight to the embassy.

After revealing their true faces, the Holy Palace Mages in the embassy warmly welcomed them.

"We have also received instructions from the Grand Speaker."

The Holy Palace Mage said, "Our people reacted immediately after the disaster occurred. Here are the preliminary clues we found, as well as the results of the dolphin test. Take a look."

Xu Fang took the materials and read them carefully.

The Holy Palace Master introduced: "The missing area is called Ligu County. It is an area on the coast of Bharat that makes a living by aquaculture and specializes in supplying fresh fish and shrimp to major cities."

Not every country is China.

Long before the Sirens' full-scale invasion, China's major agricultural and breeding universities and departments had developed a variety of magical species.

The most famous one is, of course, the giant rice in the sea of ​​sand, which is so big that it can provide shade under the rice. Its soaring yield can sustain the crowded base city's survival needs.

It’s different in other countries.

The scope of human activities has shrunk dramatically, and cultivated land, agriculture and fruit forests have been seriously affected.

Once all the people are shrunk within the barrier and the population density reaches its extreme, what will they eat when they have no land to grow crops or raise livestock?

"We also issued a warning to the authorities at the beginning, but no one cared... No one knew that such a disaster would occur." The Holy Palace Mage sighed.

There is a photo taken from a distance, which is rather blurry, but you can clearly see a huge cloud of dust rising into the sky.

"There is a doctrine in Bharat that one's lowly life in this life is due to sins committed in the previous life. As long as one atones for the sins in this life, one will be happy and prosperous in the next life."

The Holy Palace Mage sighed and said, "They are really miserable in this life. I hope they can be reborn into a better life in the next one."

Xu Fang put the photo on the table and said casually:

"Atone for your sins honestly? No, I only believe in kings, princes, generals and ministers. Are there any other species?"
