Harvey drew aside the curtains and glanced at the street outside the hotel.

Even though it was already midnight, the whole town was dark, with no candlelight or lights. One had to rely on the magic spirit miracle to gain night vision to move around in the dark. Despite this, there were actually many people on the street shopping or even doing business, and there were countless tiny conversations and footsteps in the darkness.

Blind Town, the core base of the Blindsight Sect, is also one of the most famous trade centers in the Qinri Alliance.

The biggest feature of this town is that everyone must pretend to be blind and cannot create any light source. Even during the day, there is a barrier outside to block the sunlight, so the town is always dark.

Although it was dark and without light, it was the resident of the sect after all, so it could naturally withstand the darkness of the night. Even because of the characteristics of the blind town, even the Green Disaster dared not approach this town. Even though the streets were crowded, no magician dared to fight here. The safety level ranked in the top five in the Qinri Alliance, and the prosperity was second only to the Black Robe Town.

The rules of Blind Town cannot be violated. Once you reveal that you are not blind, or you create a light source, then... you will become a real blind person and lose your vision permanently. No miracle can restore it. You will even forget what "eyes" are, and the area where your eyes appear will be filled.

The reason is, of course, that there is a Gray Fox legacy hidden in Blind Town. Unfortunately, it is also related to Wu Bainian Dafa.

After all, Wu Bainian Dafa had originally pursued physical enhancement, and therefore had conducted many experiments, one of which was "If one sense is lost, can other talents be permanently enhanced?"

The results of the experiment are unknown, but the Blindsight sect is a sect derived from this experiment. What they pursue is "completely losing all senses, thereby becoming one with the world and achieving eternal life." All of their followers are residents of Blind Town and have voluntarily lost their vision. Then all Blindsight followers, as long as they can reach adulthood, will become magicians without exception.

Without exception, not even a single mentally retarded one.

But the Blindsight sect is not considered a powerful sect because self-mutilation is very common among them. For example, Harvey just saw someone rubbing his hands on the street, until his wrist bones were exposed. It was so wasteful that Harvey felt a little distressed.

The blindsighted are not seeking pain, they are seeking to "reduce information". As if to provide theoretical support for "losing all senses", the blindsighted sect proposed the "emptiness is happiness theory", that is, people's pain comes from what they know and get, as long as people don't get any information, they will become "empty" and they can get "peace of mind".

Simply harming the senses is meaningless, what they want is to "forget the senses", just like the Blind Town makes them completely forget their eyes, the Blindsighted have been looking for other ways to make themselves "forget the senses". They even regard "forgetting themselves" as the ultimate pursuit, which is called "forgetting both the self and the world, and achieving unity between man and nature".

Because the blindsight cultists only seek within themselves, they never pay attention to other people who come to Blind Town. As long as you don't say that you can see things or create light sources, they will ignore you. If you want to become a blindsight cultist, you just need to make some light.

Because of these rules, magicians dare not fight in Blind Town. After all, you can create sparks even if you bump into something. As long as you don't want to join the Blindsight Sect, you have to behave yourself in Blind Town. This meets the key requirements of the Senluo Wasteland for trading places, and it is natural for it to become a trade center.

However, for Harvey, the biggest advantage of Blind Town is that he can keep Alice by his side, and she doesn't have to put on makeup every day - Harvey is actually a very careful necromancer. In order to take care of the emotions of his teammates, he takes care of Alice almost every day. After all, "Corrosive Breath", "Fear Shock", and "Negative Energy Invasion" are the talents of every undead, and only makeup can make these combat passives invalid - other people see Alice without makeup, but they dare not say anything.

As for Ash and the others, they have gradually become accustomed to being unconscious.

"Isn't he back yet?"

There was the sound of a door being pushed open in the darkness, and Ash and Igula walked into the room, accompanied by the sound of flapping wings.

When they saw Harvey and Alice in the room, they subconsciously shifted their gaze slightly until the original Alice was no longer in their field of vision.

They were already in the habit of looking a little to the side so that neither Harvey nor Alice would notice.

"Not yet," Harvey said. "Maybe he finally decided to be a blind crow."

Five days had passed since they left the Twin Sect.

After rescuing Ash, the foursome fled at daybreak, not even daring to eat breakfast - the Dark Snake Twins showed Ira the sect's most core Night Drop operating console, and then Igula rewarded them by completely collapsing the Twin Abyss, which was like destroying an entire family for a drop of kindness.

Naturally, they rushed out of the city to dig out the motorcycle, and they wanted to equip it with wings.

"Could they be pursued by the Twin Sect?" Ash said worriedly, "It's really too much to rely solely on Tamashi for information..."

Even with the miracle of night vision, it still takes a lot of courage to move around in the blind town. After all, you might kick a small stone and cause a spark, which would completely blind you. Tamashi said he had been trained in total darkness before, so the task of going out to get information was given to him.

"I don't think the Twins will hold us accountable," Harvey said.

"Why?" Ash was a little surprised: "We collapsed the Twin Abyss."

"It's not us," Xavi corrected, "It's Igulla."

Ash frowned in dissatisfaction and said in a more serious tone, "Is there any difference?"

"Although the Abyss collapsed, the twin system may not be destroyed." Igula glanced at Harvey: "They didn't send anyone to hunt us down. I guess it was a blessing in disguise. They found a more efficient way to produce twin magicians."

"That may be the reason." Harvey did not comment. He closed the window, drew the curtains, and looked at Ash with wide eyes. The necromancer showed a human yearning on his face: "Hurry, hurry, hurry."

So Ash patted the cicada next to him, and the cicada slowly emitted golden light, illuminating the entire room.

On the walls, on the ground, and in various blank areas, blood-red words such as "Don't tell them you can see" and "Don't create light" appeared.

However, Ash and the others had already gotten used to this environment, and their tense expressions instantly relaxed.

After staying in the dark for a long time, the body feels like it has dried up and urgently needs light to nourish it.

Theoretically, nothing in Blind Town can emit light, including the magic spirits. After all, the magic spirits are connected to the soul of the magician. It's like if your pet digs up someone's ancestral grave, you as the owner will definitely be held responsible.

However, cicadas are different.

Because strictly speaking, it is not Ash's magic spirit.

Unless the magic spirit is willing, a low-level magician will not be able to accommodate a high-level magic spirit. Yuan Chan is obviously unwilling to be Ash's pet. It just uses Ash to escape from the miracle trap, and has not yet reached the level of sacrificing itself to him.

However, Yuanchan did not run away after taking advantage of Ash.

In its nascent world of thought, it probably had the idea that "it would be sealed if it left the magician", so it was willing to continue to stay with Ash.

After several days of observation, Ash also vaguely figured out his authority over Yuan Chan. First, he did not need to provide magic power to use Yuan Chan (his magic power of illusion could not support Yuan Chan), but at the same time, Yuan Chan could only cast spells for him three times a day, and the effect was "stealing the fate of the past three seconds to replace the fate of the present", which Ash called "Three Seconds of Cicada Hiding".

Simply put, he can escape all harm by going back three seconds.

This move cannot be considered as treatment. After all, it is of no help to existing injuries, and it has a high time requirement. It cannot be used after three seconds. Therefore, Ash has been training the "Three Second Cicada Hide" these days. As long as it can be used in an emergency, it will be a life-saving miracle.

Therefore, Ash also knew that the effect of the Fang Chan taken away by the Silver Lantern was probably "stealing the fate of the future three seconds later to replace the fate of the present moment". Compared with the round cicada, the Fang Chan felt more difficult to use, but he knew that with the wisdom of the Silver Lantern, the Fang Chan would inevitably become a trump card to reverse the situation at some point in the future.

The food of the cicada is the golden river water. The flow of all things in the world will breed the golden river water, which means that the cicada can be self-sufficient, otherwise Ash would not know how to feed the four-winged spirit - if he continues to feed it with gold coins, the amount of gold coins consumed by the cicada every day will be enough to make Ash bankrupt at the speed of light.

One-winged spirits can be fed with silver coins, two-winged spirits can be fed with gold coins, and three-winged spirits can barely be fed with gold coins, but gold coins are far from enough to feed four-winged spirits. Fortunately, the cicada that was picked up this time was particularly easy to raise. If it was another legendary spirit, Ash would not be able to raise it at all.

It neither absorbs Ash's magical power nor can it provide limited spellcasting power. It doesn't even need to be fed. So the cicada is certainly not Ash's magical spirit.

If I had to say, it was like a wild cat living nearby, occasionally coming over to let Ash pet it, and willing to catch the mice nearby, but would never enter Ash's home.

Therefore, its glow is like the call of a wild cat. No matter what, the gray fox legacy of Blind Town cannot be traced to Ash, and it is impossible to make Yuan Chan blind. So Ash and others can enjoy the bath of light in Blind Town.

The three Sanctuary magicians narrowed their eyes and surrounded the golden cicada.

Only when we lose something can we understand how precious certain habits are.
