When Gu Huai saw the energy fluctuations in the black powder in the giant rat's bones, he had an idea.
Items that can suppress the use of magic must be able to carry a large amount of magic energy.
Since the giant rat is the only mutated monster in the lower city, it must have the secret of forbidden magic in its body.
The first step Gu Huai took was to reduce the number of giant rats.
Only in this way can the original cause of the magic failure be exposed.
Holding the inconspicuous triangular black stone, Gu Huai found that it was very heavy.
A small piece of black stone is heavier than a small piece of gold.
Energy is contained within it, but it cannot escape. It can only be trapped inside, unable to be used or diffused.
Although it possesses a lot of energy, such a stone is useless.
Gu Huai didn't think so.
Since it can't be used to use magic, let's use it to disable magic.
Since the lower city cannot use magic, let the upper city also have a taste of banning magic.
"Uncle?" Zhang Wei stood with Gu Huai for a long time. He felt his feet were a little sore and reminded him, "Do you want this stone? If you want this stone, we will come find it next time."
"If there are any, just collect them." Gu Huai said, "Or keep them first."
He wanted to see what these stones would look like without the giant rats chewing them.
After Gu Huai left, Zhang Wei didn't understand whether Gu Huai wanted to keep the stone or save it.
But his sister had an idea: "Didn't uncle tell me? Just put it away when you have it? Then just put some away and keep the rest."
Anyway, no one will pick up these broken stones.
Zhang Wei nodded, feeling that his sister was right.
Gu Huai took the triangular stone and originally planned to go back and study it, but he changed his mind halfway through.
He was in a lower city, many of the instruments were incomplete, and he was alone with almost no helpers. Under such harsh conditions, he didn't know how long it would take to complete the experiment.
In fact, he could also change to a better environment.
For example, he could go uptown.
When the tavern owner heard what he said, he thought he was crazy.
"Going uptown? Do you know how dangerous it is to go uptown?"
He felt that Gu Huai's madness was getting worse and worse, and now he had reached the point of wishful thinking.
"Gu Huai, you are from Lower City and have no identity information. If you go to Upper City, you will be put in jail and beaten to death. If you have identity information and it shows that you are from Lower City, it will be even worse. You will be directly arrested.
Beat to death."
The tavern owner said earnestly: "Aren't we living quite well in the lower city? You see, we now want status and status, and money and money. Isn't this life comfortable enough?"
Gu Huai said: "I won't stay too long when I go to Shangcheng this time. I just asked them to do some research for me and I will come back after finishing it."
The tone is as relaxed as going to the city to buy groceries.
After getting along with each other these days, the tavern owner knew that it was useless to persuade Gu Huai. He was simply a person who did not listen to advice.
"What else do you want me to help you with?"
Moreover, he knew that Gu Huai took the initiative to come to him because he had something to ask for help. If he hadn't wanted to help himself, he might have been on his way to the city by now.
Gu Huai: "Help me find a few reliable people to make a few robes similar to those of a mage, and then make a few followers' clothes and a staff."
The tavern owner gritted his teeth: "You are trying to drag me down."
Once the people in the city discover Gu Huai's true identity and demand a thorough investigation, he will definitely be found out as an accomplice. Then they will all be finished.
Gu Huai: "Just tell me whether you want to do it or not. If not, I will find someone else."
"Fuck him." The scar on the tavern owner's face was trembling, "I think the people in the city have been unhappy for a long time. You will definitely dampen their spirits when you go up there, and then come back and tell us how bad they are, so that we can be happy too.
"
The tavern owner roughly knew Gu Huai's plan when Gu Huai told him that he wanted to wear a magician's robe.
He wants to pretend to be a mage from outside and go to the city to trick people.
You know, although Shangcheng develops technology and magic, the main thing is technology rather than magic.
Real magic has miraculous power in other continents. It can create something out of nothing, two things from one life, three things from two things, and all things from three things.
Magic is the goal that Shangcheng has been pursuing, but it is a pity that not to mention the top magic continent, even an ordinary magic city will not be willing to come here.
Because the Human City is a cursed place, magic cannot be used in its lower city.
Magicians are very particular about these things and will never go to a cursed place.
This is why if Gu Huai really plays the role of a magician, the chance of deceiving the people in the city will be very high.
"Yeah. Very good." Gu Huai said, "One more thing, I want to borrow your Zhang Weiyi."
The tavern owner clenched his fists: "He? He can't go."
The tavern owner knew how dangerous this was and he couldn't let his child die.
Gu Huai's chance of success in this matter is not high. If he really lets Zhang Wei go, it will really harm him.
"Do you think Zhang Wei will be able to escape if I fail?" Gu Huai laughed at him, "Don't be so pretentious. Besides, Shangcheng's plan to eliminate Xiacheng has been launched. If we don't resist, everyone will die.
"
The original ending of the story was that the upper city succeeded. They successfully wiped out the entire lower city and occupied all the resources in the lower city.
"I'm willing to go, I'm willing to go dad." Zhang Wei got out from under the bar of the tavern. Also hiding underneath were Li San and Zhang Tan.
He was afraid that the tavern owner would not agree: "I am willing to go with my uncle. This is for our lower city. This is glory. It is a battle for survival of our lower city!"
Zhang Wei has wanted to be a hero since he was a child. Now that the opportunity has come, he wants to seize it without considering how dangerous it is.
The tavern owner wanted to persuade him, but he understood that what Gu Huai said was right.
Even if they choose to linger, they probably won't be able to hold on for long, and sooner or later they will be fired upon by the upper city.
"Go." He closed his eyes and made up his mind. The child is old, so it is better to let him have a try. If he really died in the upper city, he would have seen a different world.
"I will keep Jun Buqi."
The tavern owner knew who Jun Buqi was. They were the old man and the child who had defected to Gu Huai not long ago.
Gu Huai's intention of keeping the child was obvious. He wanted to keep the child as a hostage to prevent the old man from talking nonsense.
He needs helpers, and the old man is a good helper, but he may not be a trustworthy person.
In a place like the Lower City where people can betray each other at any time, you should really leave some trump cards.
Thinking of this, the tavern owner wondered if Zhang Wei following Gu Huai also meant that he was a hostage?
