The Man Standing on Top of the Food Chain

Chapter 379: magic (2)

Views:

A man came out of the world-transmitting gate. The man looked no different from an ordinary earthling, but he was wearing very worn linen clothes, which looked like some kind of prison uniform.

There seems to be a thin membrane on the outside of his body, preventing the water pressure from acting directly on him.

When he saw the underwater world in front of him, as well as the submarine bases made by the Federation, he had a curious look on his face.

"It's a strange metal shell. It doesn't feel the fluctuation of magic, but it has light."

"Biological detection."

"There is no living thing in it."

But at this moment, three engineering robots were launched from the base, swimming towards the prisoner at high speed.

"Huh? A puppet? Still can't feel the magic wave, what a strange world." Seeing the engineering robot come to him, a capture net was sprayed out from the robot and hooded towards the prisoner.

"Stupid creature, are you trying to challenge the majesty of the mage?" The prisoner raised his palm, and endless coldness diffused from his body, rushing towards the surrounding seabed in an instant, like an ice flower. Like a lotus flower in full bloom, including the engineering robot, all the buildings within a radius of one kilometer were frozen.

Seeing that the enemies around him had been cleared away, the man who looked like a prisoner had a smug smile on his face, and the next moment, he had already soared into the sky and rose towards the sea.

In the process of rising, his figure gradually became transparent until finally slowly disappearing.

The moment the man appeared, Li Anping, who was far away in Tianjing, had already received the news.

The information was conveyed to his mind through electromagnetic waves, and then he restored it into a three-dimensional image before his eyes.

"Why do humans come from the land of whiteness?" Li Anping frowned: "Is it a demon that looks like a human? Is it a coincidence that Higram drew the incarnation of Nian Qi away at this moment? Or was it premeditated?" ?”

In Li Anping's ears, he remembered the voice from the man's mouth again. It was the last voice recorded by the surveillance equipment, but he couldn't make out the meaning of the man's words at all.

"Is this your language? What does it mean?"

Li Anping thought for a while, but unfortunately there were too few clues to draw a conclusion.

At this moment, the image of Bai Xinghe appeared in front of him: "My lord, we have temporarily lost contact with the world-transmitting gate, do we need to send someone there?"

"No need for now, when Higram is caught, I will let the incarnation of Nianqi go there first." Li Anping ordered, he looked at the prisoner man in the three-dimensional image, and said coldly: "First find this man who wears The guy who came out of the gate, catch him."

"As ordered."

The last scene in Li Anping's image, the gradually destroyed base, frowned: "It's still careless, the bottom of the sea is not very suitable as a combat environment for other people, I thought it would be enough to guard it with the incarnation of Nian Qi, but I didn't expect it to come out." If there are mistakes, the key is the lack of manpower for submarine operations.

It seems that the strength in this area needs to be strengthened. "

At the same time, the 30 Prophet satellites surrounding the entire earth were fully operational, and began to search for the man in prison uniform that appeared on the screen.

The man's profile picture appeared in the police, the Internet, and the news, but the government did not disclose the man's real identity, but said that he was a fugitive with abilities and possessed strong aggressiveness.

The northern part of Codex, the death zone.

Shang Tian looked at the new arrest warrant on the Internet and laughed: "The opportunity has come. Let's go, Kudia, let's go to World No. 1."

"Is it finally done?" Kudia stood up, stretched his waist, and made clanking sounds all over his body: "But what about Li Anping? .”

"So we have to hurry up." Shang Tian tapped the keyboard quickly, and called all the team members he had selected: "Now Li Anping has temporarily lost the monitoring of the world-transmitting gate, we just need to catch He won't know that we have passed by this time. I'm afraid we won't meet this kind of coincidence again in the future."

A few minutes later, Shang Tian, Kudia, and more than a dozen men and women had already set off towards the location of the world-transmitting gate.

On the other side, after several hours of flying, the man who came out of the boundary-crossing gate had already arrived at a small town in the northern part of the Codex Kingdom.

Looking at the very "prosperous" town in front of him, the buildings made entirely of reinforced concrete, the man kept his invisibility and sneaked in quietly.

In a private house, he glanced at the corpse under his feet. It was a blond woman, but at this moment her face was already blue and she fell to the ground, her body was still emitting bursts of cold.

Beside the woman, there was a man with blond hair kneeling, trembling all over, looking at the prisoner-like man.

"Please, don't kill me."

"The money is in the safe, you can take it as you like."

The prisoner gave him a bored look: "It's not a common language, and it's not an imperial language. Is it the unique language of the indigenous people here?"

"I can't help it." He raised a finger, and the white light shot directly from his fingertips, flying to the forehead of the blond man: "Try to know the language."

The next moment, the light touched the blond man's forehead, and then returned to the man's palm, disappearing. Now, he found that he could understand what the native in front of him said.

"Shut up." The blond man spoke again, already fluent in Codex: "I'm not interested in your so-called wealth at all."

He stroked his chin and said to the blond man, "Indigenous, what's your name?"

"Henry." Henry said tremblingly, whenever he saw the nanny's body lying on the ground, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

"You can call me Lord Jonah." The man who called himself Jonah said, "Now, I'm a little hungry, please help me get something to eat first."

"I... I understand." Henry stood up with some trepidation, and then walked towards the kitchen. And Jonah has become a somewhat strange ability user in his heart.

"Damn it, shouldn't the ability users have already been admitted to the various colleges? Where did this lunatic get out?" Although he thought so in his heart, when Henry turned his head, he saw that the other party had decomposed the nanny's body into pieces that were difficult to see with the naked eye. The fear in his heart intensified when the fragments disappeared.

Jonah turned his head, looked at Henry with a look of fear on his face, and smiled sinisterly: "Henry, I'm already very hungry, you don't want me to eat one of your arms?"

"I see, I'll get you something to eat right now." Henry walked quickly to the refrigerator: "Anyway, just get him something to eat first."

Looking at the contents of the refrigerator, he asked Jonah, "My lord, can you eat instant noodles?"

"Instant noodles, what are those?" Jonah said while looking at the light on the ceiling with a curious look: "Whatever, just have an instant noodle."

When Henry came to the living room with a bowl of instant noodles, he saw Jonah quickly pressing the switch on the wall, looking at the flickering lights above his head, showing a thoughtful expression.

"Interesting trick." He saw Henry approaching with his face up, and his nose wriggled: "It smells good."

And after taking a sip of the instant noodles, a look of joy appeared on his face: "Not bad, not bad, this instant noodle tastes good."

Seeing the other party enjoying the instant noodles, Henry thought to himself, "Is this guy from the country?"

But what the other party did next seemed to confirm his guess even more. When Henry explained to Jonah that the toilet can draw water infinitely, the other party's eyes showed obvious disbelief.

"Mortal, are you trying to deceive a mage?" Jonah pointed to the toilet and said, "This thing doesn't have the slightest wave of magic, how can it create water out of thin air."

Henry tried to explain the water pipes, water pressure, and water valves to him, but he didn't know the theory inside, so it was impossible to explain it clearly to Jonah.

However, after trying to flush the toilet dozens of times, Jonah had to admit that the mortal in front of him did not deceive him.

"Interesting and stupid natives, don't you put all your energy into how to enjoy it?"

Facing the opponent's powerful force, Henry could only choose to secretly despise the soil turtle in front of him in his heart.

After studying the water pipes, electrical circuits, lights, refrigerators, and gas stoves in the house in turn, Jonah changed into Henry's pajamas and lay down on the sofa.

He thought to himself: "It's really a bunch of pleasure-seeking natives." He touched the soft sofa and the silk pajamas on his body again: "What a soft chair, and this dress, with such exquisite handwork, I'm afraid even the emperor would None of the chief tailors in the world have this kind of handwork."

However, after a little research on the device in the other party's home, Jonah also remembered the reason for this visit. However, he asked several times in a row, and found that the other party had never heard of the Saint Laurent Empire, the Mages Guild, or Carmel he was talking about. Henry is even more ignorant of the magic that Jonah cares about most.

It seems that for them, magic is only something that has appeared in novels and plays.

"It seems that this continent is very far away from the empire, and there is no knowledge of magic. It is really a remote place." However, thinking that this place is still in the ignorant period without magic, some of the original worries in Jonah's heart disappeared.

"Since there are no mages in this continent, then I don't have to worry about anything. But I can't just listen to this mortal's one-sided words. Maybe the mages here are hermits, and his level is not enough to get in touch with them.

Maybe, I can meet their king first. Anyway, no one here knows me, so I will make up a random story when the time comes.

If there are mages here, join them, if there are no mages, hehe... "

After thinking about it, Jonah asked again: "Do you have a king here? If I want to see the king, what should I do?"

Speaking of this, Jonah raised his chin high and said with a unique pride: "As a representative of the Saint Laurent Empire Mages Guild, I request to meet the king of the most powerful country on your continent."

"Is this guy crazy?"

But Henry naturally wouldn't say it out of his mouth. He thought for a while and said slowly: "If you insist on telling the king, there is indeed one, but if you want to see it, I'm afraid it's not easy. I need to tell the police one time.

Sir Jonah, would you allow me to make a phone call? "
