Shameless Warlock

Although they have spent so much time together, Xu Nan often feels that his understanding of Liuhuo is far from enough.

The ship soul of this boarding cloud ship hides far more things than she shows.

The appearance of the silver-haired little luoli, the poisonous tongue module that does not work at all times, the super-all-round butler template... What Liuhuo showed in front of Xu Nan, apart from the occasional small emotions, was more of a mechanical and auxiliary state.

But Xu Nan will never forget the situation when he first met Liuhuo.

Compared with the shock when the cloud boarding ship pierced the soil and the domineering and mighty hull lay in front of his eyes, what impressed him even more was Liu Huo's first murmur.

That low sigh of being out of contact for five thousand years contained countless emotions... To this day, Xu Nan has never seen the complex emotion in Liu Huo again.

In fact, from the very beginning, Xu Nan never forgot the true origin of Liuhuo——she was a boarding ship lost in the war five thousand years ago, and due to reason, her real owner should be the Arcane Empire related persons.

The wizard king, the princess of the Arcane Empire, and even the worst ones are also son-in-laws like Brother Jun Yi.

Because of this, Xu Nan always felt that Liuhuo would be by his side purely because of Lu Junyi's relationship; but later, he gradually realized the abnormality of the silver-haired little Luoli.

Although she is very concerned about the situation of the Arcane Empire, and she is also very concerned about the safety of Yutosan and Princess Selina, but since the shadow of the Arcane Empire has returned one after another, she has never made any request to return to the Arcane Empire.

That in itself is very abnormal. You must know that the ship soul of the Arcane Empire has supreme loyalty. Liuhuo is the asset of the Arcane Empire. In a sense, her soul is also bestowed by the great arcanists. Telling Xu Nan that she wanted to return to Her Royal Highness Princess Selena, Xu Nan felt normal instead.

But Liuhuo did not, she always kept a low profile, followed Xu Nan silently, and after Xu Nan fell into another world because of the curse of the God of Fear, she chased him without hesitation—even though she was stuck in the swamp of living corpses It's embarrassing and embarrassing.

Regarding this point, Xu Nan has not yet had a perfect answer.

Of course, the abnormality of Liuhuo does not mean that there is any problem with her. The positions of the Arcane Empire and the Kingdom of Heaven are very clear. A battleship like Liuhuo lost in time and space cannot be corrupted and manipulated by the people of the Kingdom of Heaven; and from the communication process between Xu Nan and the Wizard King, He also didn't find any connection between Liuhuo and the people of the Arcane Empire.

She seemed to be deliberately hiding her existence.

From this point of view, then becoming an assistant of a Lost Paradise Warlock is the best way to avoid many eyes. After all, the Lost Paradise system is quite good at hiding traces and calculating opportunities—of course, this charging function is also City Lord Xu, who is intermittently rich and powerful, can afford it.

It is precisely because of this function that Xu Nan dared to build a city in the main material world seriously. Otherwise, there would be no need for the gods to do it. Just a random elector of a big church, let alone launch a holy war, just send a few When the large knights brought the court over, Xu Nan had to run away.

Closer to home, there must be some secrets hidden in Liuhuo.

These secrets may have something to do with the Arcanists who fought alongside her on the Dengyun Ship; Xu Nan vaguely felt that there might even be some connection with the prophecy of the ice seat mentioned by Qin Lele.

Of course, these are Xu Nan's conjectures. Whether these secrets will finally surface depends on Liu Huo himself.

...

"Master City Lord!"

The suddenly raised voice interrupted Xu Nan's meditation.

Liu Huo's eyes widened: "Are you listening to my narrative?"

Xu Nan smiled apologetically, there were too many things going on recently, he seemed to have difficulty concentrating, and was always easily distracted.

Fortunately, what Liu Huo said was actually not complicated.

Regarding the energy-absorbing magic circle of the dark side of the universe, Liuhuo pointed out that this thing is also a strictly controlled technology in the Arcane Empire-similar to the kind of nuclear weapons, and there are great hidden risks.

The principle of this magic circle is very complicated. In short, it locates the dark side of the current universe through the magic circle, absorbs the energy of the dark side and transforms it into huge energy, and then provides it to the energy furnace; and the energy of the dark side universe is slightly different. Stable, sometimes the energy furnace will be overloaded, and sometimes the power must be increased.

Of course, if there are only the above shortcomings, then the research fanatics of the Arcane Empire will definitely find a way to make up for it.

In fact, the real danger lies in the energies themselves.

"Because the energy comes from the dark side universe, it is seriously inconsistent with certain fluctuations in the current universe. In the process of energy consumption...some things will be taken away, which are very potential things. Sometimes the clues may be discovered quickly, but sometimes, it may take a long time..."

"There was once a senior engineering mage who was in charge of the dark universe's energy-absorbing magic circle. After several energy-absorbing experiments, he suddenly found himself hundreds of years old; It also has something to do with the overload of energy before..."

"The empire at the time didn't pay much attention to this, or in other words, they no longer had the energy and ability to pay attention to this."

"This magic circle brought a certain energy breakthrough to the empire. The empire began to expand rapidly, which also left a huge hidden danger for future falls. My core database is missing, but in the war On the eve, an arcanist proposed the curse of the existence of the energy of the dark side universe... Although I don't have much evidence, I think that the collapse of the empire was precisely because the energy of the dark side universe was overdrawn, and a lot of it was taken away... ..."

This is the original words of Liuhuo.

It sounds a bit mysterious, but Xu Nan didn't dare to neglect it.

Regarding the research on the dark side universe, Paradise Lost is very little. It can be seen that the Arcane Empire tightly sealed this piece of knowledge; to this day, Xu Nan has to admit that the original Arcane Empire may have a deep understanding of the dark side. The deepest force in the study of the universe.

Even the gods of the Heavenly God Kingdom may not have much understanding of this mysterious field.

The reason why Xu Nan can make such a decisive judgment is because if the gods of the heavens know something, then there must be one in the database of Paradise Lost!

Instead of just reminding Xu Nan that it is a very mysterious and dangerous world like now, it is said that there is a certain sense of symmetry with the current universe.

"Let me think again."

For this mysterious and unpredictable field, Xu Nan has always been a coward; but the problem of energy is becoming more and more prominent. Eighty percent of the functions are still unlocked!

Liuhuo said that to unlock these functions, the current energy technology cannot support it, unless Xu Nan takes the risk and activates the dark side universe energy absorption circle.

"However, if it is really time for life and death, and the city lord wants to activate the magic circle, I will not object."

Liuhuo emphasized: "I'm just giving you enough warning based on some core content of the database."

"The dark universe is very dangerous. Even the most powerful arcanists dare not easily set foot in related fields."

"Of course, there is a set of procedures within the empire that can effectively minimize the negative effects, but it still cannot guarantee your absolute safety!"

Xu Nan nodded.

Putting the energy issue on hold for the time being, he decided to buy some high-level biological offal from Paradise Lost at his own expense; as for hunting in person, sorry, Xu Nan would consider taking the risk by himself if he was as strong as Romang.

He is indeed not at the end of the mountain, you know, Xu Nan still has the super killer Yutosan in his hand!

For safety reasons, he is still in the state of keeping one more hole card.

The Yutosang that Lu Honghong returned to him was still properly sealed. There were many good things in Yutosang, and the consumption of the energy furnace that lasted for a period of time must be no problem.

In the next few days, Xu Nan simply completed the arrangement of administrative tasks, and then found himself becoming idle.

The gray tower administrators quickly integrated into this new city. The people of the ice field are actually quite easy to manage. After the initial precautions, these impartial and selfless administrators quickly won the favor of the people of the ice field. As for other races, naturally I won't say much.

In this way, Xu Nan finally bought himself some time.

Good news came one after another.

The first one is a letter from the Lord of Banduo Port! This letter was written by the city owner himself, expressing his respect for

Condolences from the residents of Wildfire City, and an answer to the food problem that Xu Nan asked for help.

Mr. Guy Ritchie tactfully stated that due to the principle of grain trade within the kingdom, the grain at the Port of Bando will not be able to be transported to Wildfire City until next winter to alleviate the urgent need here. In addition, the grain orders in the city are already running at full capacity. Basically no one would be willing to do business with Tumersu, the new lord of Wildfire City, at this time.

Xu Nan had already expected this. After all, he had learned from Evelyn that the eastern kingdom is very strict. Grain trade must have a grain trade license and qualifications. The grains are all orders made last winter or the first half of this year. It is really difficult for Xu Nan to get involved. After all, the north is not a major grain-producing area.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Garritch changed the subject and said that although the big households in the city have no plans to do business with you, he is willing to personally come forward and donate some grains in stock to Miss Su...

After reading the letter, Xu Nan was taken aback by this guy.

In addition to the joy of harvesting food, there was also some panic.
