Black Dragon had been dazzled by the prosperity of the large city, and couldn't stop looking around with his eyes wide open. But fortunately, he had pale restraints, so he didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

The strangely pale dress will inevitably attract others' attention, but the "fierce and strong man" Xiaobai following closely behind him makes these people with different thoughts stay away.

On the contrary, he didn't care about other people's eyes at all, and still walked slowly on the street in his own way, taking in all kinds of things around him.

The city entrance is directly connected to the trading area outside the city. Both sides of the road are crowded with various shops and stalls. The things sold are basically the basic necessities of ordinary people: clothing, food, and various daily necessities.

wait.

As you walk further in, the grade and quality of various products are gradually increasing. Not only are the food, clothing, housing, transportation, etc. more exquisite and expensive, but there are also some magic items that are not authentic or fake.

"The magic potion handed down from our ancestors is sold at a cheap price! It will cure your illness..."

"Magic scrolls, powerful spell scrolls, give you more protection on your adventure..."

From all kinds of weird potions, scrolls and magic items; to even bloody magic crystals and materials that were just removed from the body of Warcraft, it can be said that there is everything.

While Wanwan was wandering around, he naturally had the idea of ​​picking up leaks. However, it seemed that he did not have the legendary fate of picking up leaks. He did not find any dusty treasures along the way, but only saw some interesting old books.

"We sell magic books! There are all intermediate and advanced magics! You can't think of anything, but you can't buy it..."

"The ultra-ancient magic book I just got from the ruins, as long as you can decipher it, you will definitely..."

Generally, those who speak loudly and have loud names are trying to bluff newcomers who don't know anything. The magic books they sell have no magic aura at all, and are even tattered on the surface. Perhaps they should be sold more.

Call it—ancient magic book.

These magic classics are basically incomplete due to the erosion of time, and most of them were found by adventurers exploring ancient ruins. Due to the lack of content and spell sequences, if there are no professional mages to complete them, they will have little actual value.

Moreover, completing the ancient magic itself is also a thankless job. Not to mention completing the incomplete magic, it requires the mage to have a very deep theoretical foundation and magical knowledge.

Even if it can be completed successfully, this is not the same channel for cultivating immortals as it used to be.

Most of the ancient magics are not as powerful and convenient as those that have been optimized and improved by countless generations. Of course, there are also ancient magics that are more powerful or sharp than the current mainstream magics, but they are rare.

Bai Wan actually bought a lot of incomplete and old magic books, spending a lot of money during this period, which undoubtedly made a certain dragon feel distressed for a long time.

He certainly did not buy these incomplete magic books to complete and learn the spells in them. He mainly wanted to expand his understanding of the magic world and supplement his knowledge.

At this point, he coincides with those academic research mages.

Occasionally, if you are lucky, you can see one or two low-level martial arts or magic books. But those merchants treat them like treasures and charge extremely high prices. It can be seen that in human society, the knowledge of magic and martial arts is also very rare.

…

After wandering around for a long time, the two finally crossed the outer city area and entered the middle city area. Or, to use the more popular name among the people - the business district.

Different from the down-to-earth atmosphere and mixed crowds in the outer city, the business district is more high-end and upscale, and is the main bustling area of ​​Melos City.

The merchant stores here are larger, and they even have special magic items that can be used as air conditioners, lighting, etc.; crystal plates are used for accounting purposes, and there are also many magic items among the goods sold.

At the same time, the guests here are mainly businessmen dressed in a fashionable manner and children of nobles dressed in luxurious clothes.

As for the inner city further inside, it is no longer possible for them to enter casually. To enter the inner city, you need special credentials or noble status to enter.

However, Wanwan wandered around and heard a lot about the inner city from others: it was the property of nobles or mage masters, and the most important ones were residential areas.

In short, it is either rich or noble. A small part of the people living there are very wealthy businessmen, and most of them are real aristocrats. Therefore, the inner city is also called the "aristocratic area" in the mouths of many people.

”.

At the center of the noble area is, of course, the castle of the Melos family. Members of the Grand Duke Melos family live inside, and even ordinary nobles cannot enter without being invited.

The class hierarchy of the entire city is clearly visible at this moment.

Radiating from the center of the Melos family castle, there are aristocratic districts, business districts, and then to the outer city areas. There are strict hierarchies among the classes, and the gap from nobles to commoners is even more different, and Meilos

The Los family stands at the top of the pyramid.

…

"I'll go! Sir, they dare to stop us from entering!"

Black Dragon Xiaobai, who was stopped in front of the noble area, suddenly felt as if he was offended. He looked at the guards with itching teeth, and only waited for Su An's order before he rushed forward to kill these unscrupulous people.

Humanity.

"Calm down, they are just gatekeepers, what's the use of arguing with them."

Feeling a little speechless about Heilong's excessive self-awareness, Wanwan just wanted to pull him away quickly.

"Let's go first."

"Huh? Aren't we going in?"

Xiaobai is confused, he won’t go in if he’s not allowed in? Is Wanwan such a talkative person?

"It's okay. There's no rush. It's getting late. Let's find a place to stay first."

Bai Wan looked up at the sunset that was gradually disappearing from his sight, and made a decision calmly. Xiao Bai, who was still a little aggrieved, did not dare to have any opinions at the moment.

"yes…"

Under Huan Bai's guidance, the two of them found a nearby hotel with a good environment to stay. As for the room fee? You can tell by looking at the pained expression on a certain dragon's face.

"You're really worthless, you just have a little money, what's the point?"

Wanwan sneered at him and shook his head disdainfully.

"Sir, those are all shining gold coins."

Xiaobai wanted to cry but had no tears. As a dragon, is it wrong to like treasures? And these are his collections. Like before, he only robbed them in, so there was no reason to spend them.

"That's why you get to the point where everyone calls for beating you."

Bai Bai seemed to be able to see clearly what he was thinking, and curled his lips.

"Then sir? We won't enter the inner city?"

The black dragon still felt a little unhappy when he thought about the scene where he was blocked by the guards not long ago. When had a proud dragon like him ever been stopped by a few mere ants?

"It's okay, you can go in tomorrow."

Bai Bai didn't look panicked at all. He was sipping a glass of low-concentration fruit wine and leisurely flipping through a incomplete magic book he had bought earlier.

"Sir, do you have a way to sneak into the noble area?"

Seeing his confident look, Xiaobai's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked in a low voice.

"You don't need to worry about it anymore. If you have nothing to do, just go back to your room and sleep. Aren't you dragons good at sleeping? Go to bed and don't disturb me while I'm reading."

This magic book records some conjectures about the origin of magic. Wanwan was reading it with great interest, and immediately chased people away... No, chased the dragon.

"Then... Sir, can I sleep in your room? What if I am attacked in the next room and you are too late to save me?"

But the black dragon who was driven away not only did not go out, but also said this shamelessly.

pale:"……"

He really didn't expect that this stupid dragon was not only arrogant and arrogant, but also as timid as a mouse? How could such contradictory personality traits be concentrated in one individual?

"roll!"

Accompanied by Bai Bai's impatient scolding, in the end, Black Dragon Xiaobai could only return to his room dejectedly.

"call……"

Bai Bai exhaled slightly to calm down the restlessness in his heart that wanted to beat him up.

'This guy is really...'

Shaking his head helplessly, Bai Bai once again immersed himself in the world of books.

Time passed quietly at this moment, and it was late at night in the blink of an eye.

As the midnight clock rang, Bai Bai, who had been sitting stiffly in the room for a long time, finally came to his senses. He folded the pages of the unfinished book, then turned his hand over, and the ancient book disappeared from his hand.

After getting up, Bai Bai stretched his somewhat stiff muscles and came to stand in front of the small window of the room. He specially selected this hotel, and the room with a good view could just see the aristocratic area not far away.

At a time when curfews are in place in urban areas both at home and abroad, the aristocratic areas are still brightly lit. Nightlife that commoners can't even imagine is just ordinary for aristocrats.

'It does have a bit of the bustling scene of a modern city.'

Bai Bai took off the black thin-framed glasses on his face, and his dark and pure eyes reflected the bustling night scene of the aristocratic district opposite without any hindrance.

In fact, he is not short-sighted, and his glasses are flat glasses that protect his eyes and prevent blue light. He has been wearing glasses, maybe he just covers himself out of habit.

'it's time……'

With a murmur in his heart, the pale and dark eyes became deeper and deeper, and a pure white light suddenly appeared in the extreme darkness.

He gently raised his hand and pulled out a thread of white light from nothingness.

This thread seems to connect the determined past, passing through the here and now, and extending to an unknown but infinite future.

This is the thread of time!

Originally illusory and untouchable, the timeline existed only in concepts. At this moment, it felt like substance in the hands of the man.

His fingers are as white as jade, flexible and slender, like the greatest musician in the world, using the thread of time as a string to play a movement called "Destiny"!

"Background? It involves too much, it's not necessary."

"Family background? It's more free to be alone."

"Involved? It could be a blood relationship with the Melos family, so it would be easier to sneak in..."

…

As the man's strange murmurs fell, the weaving of fate also came to an end. The thread of time at the man's fingertips seemed unchanged, but something seemed to have become different.

Finally, Bai Bai let go of the modified timeline and let it melt back into nothingness. Then he raised his hand and held it empty, and a simple noble badge engraved with a few silk threads suddenly appeared in his hand.

‘It’s really troublesome to have to come up with an identity. Next time, let’s just seize the existence of a dead person. It’s simple and crude.’

He casually stuffed the noble badge into his trouser pocket and sighed in his heart.

"It's so late, it's time to go to bed..."

As the man muttered to himself, the dim magic lights in the room were extinguished, and the silence of the night finally ushered in.
Chapter completed!
