A carriage with a simple appearance was traveling on the streets of Huowu City, and Xuan Weizi was alone in it with his eyes closed and meditating.
His trip was invited by Master Nelum to observe the official cleanup operation of the slums in Fire Dance City, which also included the encirclement and suppression of the "Door Lock" organization.
The reason why Master Nelum delayed the official action until now is probably because he spent a lot of time communicating and weighing the pros and cons. Moreover, he invited Xuan Weizi to watch, which more or less implied the idea of letting Xuan Weizi take over the battle.
The "Door Lock" organization has nothing to be afraid of. The only thing to worry about is that Fusman will create branches. Xuan Weizi can appear as a surprise force at that time, greatly increasing Nelem's chances of winning, just like the night when Canned Street exploded
Same.
In order to prevent the "Door Lock" organization from escaping, Master Nelum has already laid out numerous dragnets. He is proficient in protective spells and has secretly launched a huge wide-area "dimensional lock" outside the slums, restricting the use of teleportation spells.
Possibility of slums.
In addition, with the help of communication crystal towers, all communication spells in the slums are monitored, and multiple detections are carried out in advance to ensure that the slums with complicated roads and numerous secret rooms can be explored clearly, so that the manpower for the clearance operation will not face the complex terrain.
Suddenly his eyes went dark.
Xuan Weizi left Can Can Street by carriage before dawn, and the clean-up operation on Can Can Street was already ready to go. When he just arrived at the outskirts of the slum, he saw a row of houses in the distance, with rooftops in all directions.
The ballista has been set up, and the mage flew above the slum to observe from a high position.
Under the sound of careful footsteps, groups of mysterious knights and city guards were already wearing strong armor, holding sharp blades, and with an undercurrent of magic aura around them, they rushed into the slums from all directions in the streets and alleys.
The thickened soundproof wooden door was knocked open, and before anyone could enter, a shot of "Flash Dust" or "Spider Web" was fired. No matter what the situation inside was, the control was first launched, and then the secret knights and city guards poured in.
Take control of the people inside immediately.
The front and back doors of all-night casinos were blocked, and the dealers and gamblers were pinned to the tables; the curtains of the lively brothels were lifted, leaving prostitutes and clients squatting in the corners; the smoke-filled hemp leaves were everywhere.
The doors and windows of the hotel were torn down, and the smoker was dragged out to the street.
The Black Boxing Arena located underground has gathered a group of the most powerful mysterious knights. Under the cover of spears and broad shields, all the boxers and thugs who woke up in fright and tried to resist were forced into the corner. One of them had a plan.
One, all put on handcuffs and shackles.
As for the most complex, criss-crossing black market streets, there had been a commotion for a long time. When the black market merchants saw a large number of mysterious knights and city guards rushing in, everyone noticed that the situation had changed drastically. However, it turned out that there were wolves in front of them and tigers in the back.
In the end, all the goods were confiscated, and he was charged with participating in smuggling activities.
However, there are also some tough and capable people in the black market. They know very well that what they are doing is illegal and involves major interests. They dare not fall into the hands of the authorities, so they immediately choose to try to break out, and a battle breaks out.
Bang! Boom! Boom - da da da, shoo shoo...
The movements of various spells erupted deep in the slums. Due to the dense surrounding buildings, it did not cause too shocking a shock. The mages in mid-air also rushed to support. In an instant, arcane power poured down, just like an armed helicopter on earth.
The scene of crushing the guerrillas.
Xuan Weizi leaned against the carriage and licked his nails. In this situation, there was no need for him to take action. Even Master Nelum was standing in mid-air, accompanied by a beautiful female mage.
Taking advantage of this little free time, Xuan Weizi sensed the halfling wanderer. At this time, he was hiding in the tunnel with his fellow humans, and there were people at the end of the tunnel who were constantly casting spells and digging.
"Haha, it seems that I have been planning to run away for a long time." Xuan Weizi thought that it was right. Ever since he contained the explosion in Can Can Street, the "Door Lock" organization should have understood that the operation failed and was always facing the risk of being eliminated.
.
There is no way to escape using teleportation spells, and there are already patrol guards outside the slums to guard them. The only way to survive is underground.
When Huowu City was built, a complete set of sewer projects was designed. Under the mold of the mage, the inner city and most of the outer city can basically enjoy the benefits of sewerage. Moreover, there is a Pentagram Tower mage in the sewer system who specializes in sewerage.
Clusters of ooze monsters are raised to deal with the filth and ensure that the passages will not be clogged. Therefore, most areas of Huowu City are not the stinky and filthy environment of the Dark Middle Ages. If there was a livable city rating in this world, it would not be popular.
Dance City really has a high ranking.
Nowadays, the slums where illegal operations and gray industries are concentrated were one of the few areas without sewer coverage. Therefore, if the halflings wanted to escape, they could only dig quickly. However, looking at their progress, Xuan Weizi found that this tunnel was not a recent one.
Just excavated.
"What a pity, I can't leave." Xuan Weizi shook his head helplessly and withdrew his senses.
Soon, the Secret Knight and the city guard began to enter the house and search one by one. With the help of various spells including "Detect Secret Door", they found the hidden tunnel entrance, with a rope ladder leading down.
However, no one chose to enter at all. After the mage heard the news and arrived, he used the "Burning Cloud Technique" and the "Wind Making Technique" to pour it into the tunnel without hesitation, and the boiling clouds of white-hot ashes headed towards the halflings.
Forced to go, facing such an offensive in a narrow and stuffy tunnel with nowhere to hide, the result can be imagined.
However, the mage of the Tower of Pentagram was still very frantic. He used "Death Cloud Technique" and "Burning Cloud Technique" alternately, and finally dropped several "Delayed Explosion Fireballs" to use detection magic to confirm that there were no survivors before sending people.
Go down and collect the corpses...as much as you can collect.
"Doctor Olenso, what do you think after watching this operation?"
In the office, Master Nelum had a relaxed conversation with Xuan Weizi.
"It can only be said that the 'Door Lock' organization is vulnerable and seeking death. Your Excellency is wise and powerful, and takes action after making a decision." Xuan Weizi replied in a formulaic manner.
"Haha, Dr. Olanso is too exaggerated!" Master Nelum laughed heartily: "After our investigation, we found that the 'Door Lock' organization is almost all over the New World and has contacts with halfling communities everywhere. This time it was just a matter of destruction.
I can't control them too much outside of Huowu City!"
Xuan Weizi asked: "But will such an organization that is closely related to halflings cause conflicts between races?"
In fact, this is what Xuan Weizi has always been curious about. There is racial discrimination on the earth, but everyone is human. But there are more than just humans in this world's intelligent races. What are the rules for getting along with other humanoid races?
"Don't worry, halflings are very particular about family relationships." Master Nelem thought for a while and said: "Halfling families are a little different from human families that are connected by blood. They will accept halflings who share common interests and values.
Entering the same family. Different halfling families also have different spheres of influence. Even halfling families that are accustomed to criminal behavior are prohibited from taking advantage of each other."
Xuan Weizi tilted his head, thinking that halflings also pay attention to intimacy and alienation, maybe under the influence of material interests, the behavioral habits of different races will have some convergence, right?
"By the way, I drank that bottle of 'life-extending elixir' yesterday, and the effect was far superior to the rubbish potions of those incompetent alchemists!" Master Nelum said excitedly: "Last night, I was with three female students...
Hehe, two of them haven’t even gotten up yet after being tortured by me!”
"Then there is another one?" Xuan Weizi asked casually.
"She is a secret knight. Those legs and waist~ she really wants to squeeze me dry. She accompanied me to watch the battle today." Mage Nelum said with a lustful smile.
Xuan Weizi had no choice but to hold back his smile and said: "Actually...if you really want to maintain long-term and strong physical function, you'd better control the frequency of going to bed."
To be honest, even if he knew about Master Nelum's almost debauched lifestyle, Xuan Weizi still felt that this guy's desire was so great that it was already a bit morbid. Even if there are techniques in the room and outside the furnace in Taoist practice, the key point is still the same.
This is to preserve your spirit and conserve your vitality, rather than squandering your life and indulging in lust.
Even if Master Nelum has achieved extraordinary attainments in protection spells and has transformed his body, he won't have to fight in bed every day. Isn't it boring to do too much?
Master Nelum heard Xuan Weizi's words and said reluctantly: "Men, besides power, wealth and strength, they are also women... By the way, I found out that I drank the doctor's life-extending elixir.
'After that, it seems that part of the effect has not been fully absorbed, and it seems to have formed an effect similar to that of 'Advanced False Life', but it is not the same. What is going on?"
"Oh, don't worry, it's not a side effect." Xuan Weizi explained: "The 'life extension elixir' contains natural energy that can be integrated with body functions. When it exceeds the limit that the current function can absorb, it will remain in the organs.
It circulates between them, similar to human fat, which can preserve energy and only release it when needed. This is why you were so brave last night.
'Advanced False Life' first lets the magic energy fight against real damage to protect itself, while 'Life Extension Elixir' does the opposite. It will only work if you are really injured. In a sense, it can also
Treat it as a healing potion, but keep it in your body."
In fact, the medicinal power of the "life-extending elixir" circulates with qi and blood in the meridians. Master Nelum simply drank it and had no ability to refine the medicinal power, so naturally it could only take effect passively.
For this kind of alchemical potion, Xuan Weizi actually took reference from his own "Spiritual Root Jade Liquid". However, ordinary people do not have the spiritual power to activate the vitality of the furnace and internal organs, so they can only obtain the healing effect of natural energy from the outside world.
.
Correspondingly, the production cost of the "life-extending elixir" is also staggering, and currently only Xuan Weizi himself can refine it. In this way, it is equivalent to holding half of Master Nelum's life in his own hands.
"Good, good! Dr. Olanso is indeed my good partner, a good partner!" Master Nelum praised repeatedly: "I heard that you are still teaching medical knowledge in Can Can Street? You have trained a group of doctors?"
"Is there anything wrong?" Xuan Weizi said: "Those doctors mainly deal with the injuries and illnesses of civilians and will not compete with you alchemists for business."
"What the hell! I want to thank you so much!" Master Nelum combed his eyebrows helplessly: "Alchemists are typical dabblers in the eyes of wizards, so alchemists work hard to make a lot of money.
Make quick money and join the ranks of mages. They are indifferent to the illnesses of ordinary citizens. Your training of these doctors is a real good thing for our Huowu City... Although I like to have sex with women, I am not a blind person or a fool."
Xuan Weizi smiled and said: "Okay, I have to go back and give them lectures, so I won't accompany you."
"Doctor, move slowly!"
Xuan Weizi stood up and left, and the good-looking female mage opened the door. As soon as Xuan Weizi went out, the female mage couldn't wait to walk to Nelem and kneel down. The moment before the door closed,
He saw the female mage burying her head between Nelem's legs, and then bursts of joy could be heard.
…
At the end of the day's lectures, it was completely dark. The homeless doctors had recently gathered in Can Can Street to spend the night, because this place had vaguely formed a small clinic for civilians to seek medical advice.
"Doctor Olanso." A fat middle-aged doctor took off his hat and said, "I met a patient outside in the past two days. His condition is quite strange."
At present, this group of wandering doctors has already received medical calls as Hyperion said, so it is normal for people to be active elsewhere in Fire Dance City during the day.
"Strange? How do you say it?" Xuan Weizi asked.
"It's just that the body has a high fever, and there are some weird black spots on the skin, and I can't help talking while sleeping." The middle-aged doctor smiled bitterly: "To tell you the truth, I used to be an alchemy apprentice, and I also know about these strange diseases.
, it may be caused by magic. I heard that you are also a spell caster, I don’t know..."
"Does medicine and acupuncture have no effect?" Xuan Weizi asked again.
"It can suppress the disease, but it cannot completely solve it." The middle-aged doctor said sheepishly: "There is another problem. He... he is a corpse collector, so he may not be very clean."
"Since you are a doctor, don't be disgusted with filth and putrid smells. Just do a good job of protection and cleanliness." Xuan Weizi said: "Take me to see where the person is."
"Uh...now?" The middle-aged doctor was a little unexpected.
"If you think you can handle it, then you don't have to tell me about it from the beginning." Xuan Weizi took it calmly.
The middle-aged doctor's face was bitter, reserved and shabby, so he could only put on his hat and said: "He also lives near the necropolis, and he has to cross half of the Fire Dance City."
Just as Xuan Weizi was about to set off, Rosalian walked out of the darkness and asked, "Where are you going?"
"As long as you stay here to treat the disease, it's fine."
Seeing Xuan Weizi leave, Rosalian swung her tail with a strange expression.
