"A brief half history of the last human civilization?" Bai Mo repeated, looking at Lingling.
"Why do you say that?"
Lingling paused, sorted out her thoughts, and then continued:
"Bai Mo, I wonder if you have ever wondered how long human history is. Is there another era of human existence before us?"
Bai Mo nodded, answering Lingling's first question. He glanced at the golden leaves all over the ground.
"You mean these things, this secret realm, are all relics of a generation of humans that came before us who knows how long ago."
Lingling nodded heavily, her face showing the excitement of discovering a big secret.
"That's right! Do you remember the murals we saw when we were looking for the totem of the Seven Stars of the Vermillion Bird? The scene of the raging flood. In fact, the legend of the world-destroying flood can be found in our current Kyushu, the Western countries, or America and Australia."
Lingling pointed to the golden leaves beside her and continued:
"It records a devastating flood, just like the flood we saw in the mural of the Seven Stars of the Vermillion Bird. The whole world was submerged.
At that time, in order to save themselves and continue their civilization, the humans on this land created this secret place before the flood and left their heritage behind. "
There was quiet thought in Lingling's eyes, as if she was telling Bai Mo a story, or as if she was muttering to herself.
“No living creature can survive in the secret realm, so they only left behind a legacy, hoping that someone lucky enough to survive can find it.
"A brief history of half a step is somewhat similar to our history textbooks, except that most of what is recorded is the process of this civilization's final self-rescue."
Hearing this, Bai Mo fell silent. Although Lingling's words were simple, they were just a few sentences, yet they sounded tragic enough.
"Save themselves. What else did they do?"
"Probably a battle with the Siren." Lingling's eyes flickered slightly.
"I don't know if it's a siren or not. The text calls it a sea creature."
“Did they succeed?”
"I don't know. It's not written there."
Bai Mo nodded slightly. He had learned from Old Suzaku about the sirens' desire for land.
At the time when Suzaku was born, there were no humans.
Obviously, the flood this time was not the one caused by Jianggu.
Bai Mo was thinking, but found Lingling looking at him steadily.
After he gave her a questioning look, Lingling spoke:
"It records some information about your summoning talent, which was also called the Origin Contract at that time. In the early days of human civilization, this was an ability that everyone could awaken.
Their summoning magic is also very special, and it hardly relies on self-awakening, as if they were born with it.
It was not until the end of human civilization that this talent gradually became rare."
"Why is this?" Bai Mo asked curiously.
"I don't know. It says that it was polluted by evil spirits and eroded by time. It's not very detailed, but it seems to involve the reason for the birth of mankind."
Lingling frowned unconsciously when she recalled that description.
"It is stated above that the purpose of the Return to Origin Contract is to allow demons to return to their origins, and at the same time, they can gain some of the demons' powers."
"Return to the origin..." Bai Mo couldn't help but mutter these four words when he heard them. He suddenly remembered what Jingwei said to him when he broke through the super level of summoning system in Taihang Mountain.
His summoned beast was transforming into a totem, and already had the glow of a totem on it.
If this is what returning to one's origin means, then there are actually quite a few totem beasts, and they are likely cultivated by humans! ?
Thinking of this, Bai Mo raised his head in disbelief.
"Well, returning to the origin means that the demons become totem beasts. It also says that humans call themselves the king of all beasts."
Lingling nodded, her expression still very serious.
"I don't know what the connection is between the two. It's not written there, but judging from the article, demons and totems should be related."
Bai Mo shook his head.
"Let's not talk about the connection first. If some totem beasts really came from this, it's no wonder."
Lingling nodded. Although Bai Mo didn't finish his words, she understood why.
No wonder totem beasts protect humans, no wonder some totems can even forgive humans’ betrayal, and no wonder the relationship between totems and humans is like this now.
No wonder the descendants of totems would turn into monsters.
In general, although Bai Mo and Lingling didn't have much conversation, it roughly told a story.
That is, before the current human civilization, there was probably a beast-taming civilization, or it could be said to be a civilization that mainly used summoning magic.
They have a Guiyuan Contract, and they gain power by contracting with demons.
And their Guiyuan Contract seems to be better than Bai Mo's.
Because Lingling did not mention some restrictions, such as it must be a single-attribute monster.
There is also the fact that the growth limit of demon bloodline is higher.
Humans with the Guiyuan Contract train summoned beasts to become totem beasts.
This really sounds like something incredible now.
On the other hand, Bai Mo felt that this kind of training was not easy.
After all, he can compare himself to the Wind Spirits. They now have some totemic characteristics, but they are not totems yet.
At most, they would be considered the descendants of totems.
But in the end, this civilization seems to have declined or even died out because of its fight against the great flood.
It was too long ago, and without professional identification, it was difficult for Lingling to determine how long ago it happened.
And time can change too many things.
"That's the general situation. I'll sort out the information and send you a copy. You can take a look at it yourself."
Lingling's voice broke Bai Mo from his contemplation.
Bai Mo nodded and had no objection.
Some details would take forever to explain, and it’s better to read it yourself than to listen to Lingling tell you about it.
What's more, I have a general idea of the situation and the things I want to know.
"Then let's go out now." Bai Mo paused, took out the small silver stone and handed it to Lingling.
"I got it during my retreat in the tree cave. There are some things inside, and there is also an introduction, but I can't understand the introduction."
Lingling rolled her eyes. This guy only knew how to order people around, but she still reached out to take it.
Bai Mo immediately summoned Daju to carry Lingling on his back.
Then he raised his hand, picked up the gold leaves on the ground, put Lingling's draft in order and placed it next to her.
Then the two of them went towards the exit of the secret realm.
The four masks were re-inserted onto the human faces on the door, and the huge bronze door slowly opened.
······
Demon City, Qingtian Hunting Ground.
After returning to the city, Bai Mo realized that he had been away for nearly ten days.
Sitting on the sofa, there were many things placed on the coffee table in front of Lingling and Bai Mo, all of which were taken out of the silver stone.
"This bronze-like metal is called Chaos Gold. It is a kind of..." Lingling was silent for a while, as if thinking about how to describe it appropriately.
"It is a particularly abnormal metal. It will have a corresponding degree of hardness depending on the amount of energy injected during forging. If a forbidden spell-level energy core can be integrated into it during forging, it can even reach the emperor level."
Lingling was very excited when she said this, because this metal is incredible.
Bai Mo was also a little surprised. Thinking of the bronze beasts all over the city, there were only two words in his mind at this moment.
"waste!"
Unfortunately, these metals cannot be reused after being cast once.
Lingling checked this with the bronze fragments that Bai Mo brought out.
Bai Mo took a deep breath and looked at other things on the table.
"Tell me something else, Lingling."
"You can just treat these as elemental diamonds. They have the same function. They may be kept for you to forge Chaos Gold."
Lingling glanced at the colorful stones that looked like jade, her eyes sparkling but filled with disdain.
Then he began to introduce those one by one, and finally stopped on a small stone that Bai Mo had not noticed.
The stone is black with some white crystals.
"This is Si Quartz, a dark mineral. Legend has it that the Dark King likes it very much. It's a pity that you are not a dark wizard, otherwise it would be of some use to you."
Hearing this, Bai Mo didn't say anything, but Old Man Bao, who was lying on the other side of the tea table, glanced over here and said faintly:
"Don't summon the Dark King easily."
"I understand." Bai Mo said.
Lingling groaned for a moment, looked at the thumb-sized piece of quartz, and continued:
"The description of the origin of Si Quartz is quite strange. It says it is a derivative product of the evolution of Origin Stone."
Hearing this, Bai Mo's originally relaxed expression suddenly froze, a serious look appeared on his face, he sat up straight and asked:
"Lingling, what did you say!?"
"It is said above that Si Quartz is a derivative product of the evolution of Origin Stone."
Every word of this sentence sounded like a thunderclap to Bai Mo's ears, so loud that it could shake the soul out of the body.
Of course he knew what Si Quartz was, and he knew even better what Origin Stone was.
But he never knew that the two things were actually related.
Quartz is a derivative product of the evolution of the origin stone. What did it evolve into?
The origin stone evolves only according to the rules. Quartz is a dark mineral, so it is naturally an by-product derived from the evolution of the dark laws.
Conversely, there is almost no quartz left nowadays.
This is precisely because there are almost no Origin Stones left.
Quartz has appeared in the Tianshan Mountains, or to be more precise, it is the Trace of the Tianshan Mountains.
If there is Si quartz here, then there must be an origin stone.
That thing, the ancient king used a piece of it as big as an egg to construct the undead magic belonging to Kyushu.
Bai Mo also wanted to use it to find out if there were more possibilities for dimensional magic.
If there is still an Origin Stone.
A cold hand was placed on his neck, and the cold stimulation instantly brought Bai Mo back to his senses.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm talking to you." Lingling took her hand back expressionlessly.
Bai Mo took a look and his eyes fell on his face.
"What did you say?"
"Yesterday Mo Fan sent me a message asking me to investigate the matter regarding Si Shiying."
"You wanted me to give this to him."
Lingling nodded, then shook her head. "When I replied to the message yesterday, I hadn't seen the stone yet. He received my intelligence and had already set off for Tianshan."
"So what you mean is"
"Should we go to Tianshan as well?" Lingling's eyes lit up. That was Tianshan, an exciting and indecent place.
Seeing Bai Mo's teasing expression, Lingling coughed and continued:
"Mo Fan is looking for Si Shiying to save Mu Bai. He may not be able to find him. We can lend a hand when the time comes. Even if he does find him, one piece may not be enough."
"I heard it. If Lingling can't go to Tianshan, Mu Bai will be dead." Bai Mo nodded seriously.
Lingling rolled her eyes and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Just tell me whether you're going or not?"
Lingling said, and took out a slate from the silver stone, pointing at the picture on it and said:
"This is a map. The place recorded is located in Tianshan. I feel that there should be a relic of the beast-taming civilization here."
That civilization was based on summoned beasts, so Lingling called it the beast-controlling civilization.
Upon hearing this, Bai Mo's eyes lit up and he immediately said:
"Take two days off. I'll form a team and take care of some things."
"That's fine. I'll just prepare some information."
Bai Mo first sent the data on his use of fusion magic during this period to Feng Zhoulong.
Later, he went to where Huo Tuo was and gave him a small piece of chaos gold, asking him to study it.
"Is this thing really as magical as you say?"
"You will know if you study it, but I will only give you this piece to study."
"Okay, I haven't seen this kind of rare material for a long time." Huo Tuo's bright eyes never left the chaos gold. He took the small piece of metal and turned to walk towards the laboratory.
"Hey, wait." Bai Mo quickly pulled him back, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Once you've done your research, use Chaos Gold as the main material and help me design a set of magic tools."
Huo Tuo waved his hand to show that he knew.
The set of magic tools that Bai Mo was wearing had long been scrapped, and he hadn't replaced it with a new one.
So after knowing the characteristics of Chaos Gold, his first thought was to create a set of magic tools.
He did not have the technology of the Beast Taming Civilization to use Chaos Gold, but he was also very proficient in modern human magic tool forging technology.
And after reading the half of the civilization history translated by Lingling, Bai Mo felt that their use of chaos gold was entirely for steampunk-style mechas.
There is no such thing as magical tools or weapons.
After leaving the Pearl Tower, Bai Mo met a person.
The girl was wearing a black long trench coat, which was unbuttoned, revealing a half-stand-up collar sweater underneath, revealing black wide-leg trousers. The small leather boots on her feet made her already slender legs look even more smooth.
The clouds were half gone, and the sunlight shone on her face, making her fair skin even whiter. Although her neck was a little covered, it was still slender and fair.
Like looking at the moonlight.
Cool, delicate and transparent, her long hair like a waterfall is tied behind her head to form a bun.
Paired with slightly neat and cool-toned clothing, a cool feeling like white moonlight becomes so prominent.
This kind of cool style of dress was the first time that Bai Mo saw Ding Yumian wearing it.
"Why are you here?"
"I just came back from the beach and happened to pass by. When I was buying water, I saw you going upstairs."
Ding Yumian said softly, handing him one of the two glasses of lemonade in her hand.
"You have a pretty good eye."
Bai Mo glanced around the hall and pretended to be chatting or doing business, but in fact he was secretly peeking at some men and women here. He took it with a smile, took her hand and walked out.
"Of course." Ding Yumian said.
"You look nice in your outfit today."
"Did I look bad in the clothes before?"
"It looked good before, but it looks good in a different way today."
Ding Yumian naturally knew what he meant. Except for the time when she was cosplaying with this pervert, her daily outfit was simple and casual, with a little quiet and fresh style. This time, she looked like a cool goddess.
"The beach in the Magic City has recently opened, and some hunters always come to me. Dressing like this can save me a lot of trouble."
Bai Mo raised an eyebrow, "Just give him a beating."
Ding Yumian ignored this and asked others to do something that he himself would not do.
Really, you have the nerve to say it out loud.
"Going to school?" Bai Mo didn't care whether she responded or not and continued.
"Let's go over there."
Bai Mo nodded and did not use the teleportation technique. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that he rarely walked slowly on the street like this.
He didn't necessarily have an accurate answer as to when exactly it was, but it was a long time anyway.
Even though Bai Mo first reclaimed land and then disrupted the Sirens' attack rhythm, the changes brought to the Magic City by the rising sea level were still significant.
The first is that there are more people, especially some homeless people on the streets.
They may have migrated from other coastal cities, other coastal villages, or even from the banks of some rivers.
Having lost their means of livelihood and having just to cope with this increasingly large city, many people need time to adapt.
The base city plan has been implemented in an orderly manner. With more people, there will be more disputes. In this case, the authorities will not use relatively mild and enlightened governance methods.
Most of the pedestrians on the street are in a hurry, and an invisible pressure hangs over every corner.
At first, it just speeds up people's pace a little bit. Perhaps when someone discovers it, they will find that they can no longer stop.
In addition to these, Bai Mo saw more of some city construction magician teams.
Some of these people are transforming the old city area of Shanghai into a new city area suitable for more people to live in.
The other part is for the maintenance, updating and upgrading of the Anjie formation.
I just don't know, when the day comes when the disaster strikes the Magic City, these people in Anjie, these people who are being protected by the authorities, Bai Mo, and so many other people, can survive.
Thinking of this, Bai Mo recalled the first sea monster attack that the demons were about to face. The sea monsters were mainly composed of sea king skeletons, and there was also a Chenhai Dragon King Ant Queen Emperor in secret.
That was the Siren's test of the Demon City, and Bai Mo thought that he could take advantage of this opportunity to test the Siren.
"What are you thinking about?" Ding Yumian suddenly felt that Bai Mo's originally peaceful mood suddenly became murderous, and she couldn't help but look at him in confusion.
She didn't need to look around to know there was no danger.
"I wonder if the Kraken will come and attack the Magic City."
"Of course we will. We'll just take it." Ding Yumian pursed her lips. Her lover, the teacher who loved her, her sister, and her deceased grandmother were all in Shanghai.
How could I abandon this city?
"Let's not talk about this. This is for you." Bai Mo felt the atmosphere was a bit heavy, so he took out a necklace made of elemental jade that was similar to fire elemental diamonds.
He asked Huo Tuo to make five of them. This one was made entirely of fire element jade. It looked like a burning red line, dazzling and gorgeous.
It is no wonder that Huo Tuo is a master, as he works quickly and well.
It is not something that ordinary people can do to masturbate five times at once and complete it in a short period of time.
"What is this?" Ding Yumian asked in confusion while lowering her head and cooperating with Bai Mo to let him put on the necklace for her.
She could feel the extremely rich fire element, but she could also recognize that this thing was not a fire element diamond.
Bai Mo briefly explained his trip to the cave and also mentioned his trip to Tianshan.
"So, you're leaving the day after tomorrow?"
Ding Yumian suddenly said, seeing him nod, and squeezed Bai Mo's hand, "Then don't go to school, let's go to Mingzhu Courtyard."
"What's wrong?" Bai Mo was a little confused.
"It's been a long time since we slept together." Ding Yumian's face was slightly flushed. She moved closer, the hot air from her mouth tickled Bai Mo's cheek, and whispered:
"I bought a black silk suspender belt, and..."
Bai Mo took a deep breath instantly. He didn't want to do it at first, after all, Ding Yumian's current job was quite important and it was a waste of energy.
But the cadre was able to withstand such a test and was even given handcuffs and ropes.
It was almost time now, so he wanted to interrogate this woman and find out what she was doing!
The sun in broad daylight finally melted the clouds with its warmth, shining its warm rays on the entire city.
However, two people were unable to avoid it and hid in the room.
It was still chilly in the spring, and the birds on the trees were dozing off in the sun, moving non-stop. Bai Mo was also moving non-stop in the room.
He didn't care about the handcuffs or anything, but it was really fun.
The wind was strong and the waves were high that night. The neighborhood, which was originally sparsely populated, was often filled with whistling sounds, and the yard also made clanging sounds like the collision of metal.
One day dawned.
A bright and dazzling light shone through the window where he forgot to draw the curtains. When Bai Mo opened his eyes, he found that Ding Yumian was gone.
I picked up my phone and checked the time. It was seven minutes past eleven in the morning.
There is a floating message from Ding Yumian below the time.
[I went to work at school. There is breakfast in the refrigerator.]
It’s that research again. The workers are so miserable.
Bai Mo joked in his heart.
Get up and eat.
He still had four necklaces to give away, so after dinner, he ran to Jinyuan Apartment.
When I opened the door, I saw a man lying on a yoga mat, tense all over.
Jiang Shaoxu supported his upper body with his hands and bent backwards, while his lower body was pressed tightly against the ground.
The loose clothing was made of soft fabric and fit snugly on her body.
Bai Mo felt that he could wrap his hand around the slender waist.
The peach-like tunbu curve is outlined.
The arc is full and round, and it feels better to shoot it than to shoot a basketball.
The two groups are moving in the direction of gravity, neither big nor small.
The sunlight coming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows created a transparent effect, and it seemed like a stroke of genius, further perfecting the elves she painted.
Plus the fit of the clothes.
It is exactly the previous sentence of the dragonfly standing on top:
The lotus leaves are just beginning to show their tips.
Bai Mo felt that it might be because he had just woken up in the morning.
I always want to weigh the person in front of me.
It rained heavily and the wind was strong yesterday, so we ran out of umbrellas.
Jiang Shaoxu sensed the sound of the door opening and thought that Ai Tutu or Mu Nujiao had returned.
When she turned around, she saw Bai Mo standing at the door looking at her.
Just as a smile appeared on her face, she realized that he was staring at her.
I just realized that my current clothes are not very good.
Her fair face instantly turned red, and she ignored the "last move" on the TV and ran into the room. (End of this chapter)
