Chapter 311 The Rules of the Right Eye
"Teacher, we are here."
Isaiah opened his eyes and saw that his student Mina had opened the door of the carriage for him and was waiting respectfully by the side, holding his cane in her hand.
"I don't think I'm old enough to be unable to move." Having said that, Isaiah still smiled and accepted the student's kindness, letting her help him get off the carriage while looking around. "Is this the nameless town of the black merchants?"
"Yes." Mina nodded. "We received a message from the Land of Contract asking us to wait in the Nameless Town. They will then send a representative to take us to the meeting place."
Having said this, Mina paused, and then asked with a little confusion.
"Has the Contract Land not yet determined the location of the gathering?"
"That's normal." Isaiah said with a smile, "You have to know that this is the first time in a thousand years that the Land of Contract has officially announced its existence to the outside world. Do you think they will just deal with it casually?"
Mina frowned slightly. "You mean the Land of Contract is preparing for something other than the gathering? Do they want to be born?"
"If they had a choice, they would definitely not want to be trapped in that place. This is very similar to us." Isaiah said lightly, "If it weren't for the limitations of the starry sky, why would we be willing to curl up in that remote place?"
Mina seemed to be lost in thought, while Isaiah walked forward slowly. Soon, two black marketeers appeared in front of him.
"Welcome, Mr. Isaiah." The black merchants touched their chests and saluted. "Wu Ming Town will pay you the most sincere respect."
“Respect for the client?”
"Of course." The black marketeers said with a smile, "It is naturally a respect for our most distinguished customers, and there is no other meaning."
When Mina, who was standing next to Isaiah, heard this, she immediately called the guards who were accompanying her and whispered a few words to them. Then the guards dispersed and began to disperse the people who were watching on the sidelines.
Because on the surface, the black businessmen are the "enemies" of the four orthodox religions and are evil organizations that should be eliminated. The first thing they, the Star Legacy Guards, should do when they come here is to purify all of these heretics to ensure the justice and purity of their orthodox religion.
But unfortunately, that was only on the surface. In reality, the four orthodox religions all had unclear connections with the black businessmen, and Xing Yi had the deepest connection among them.
Because Xingyi is located at the border of the continent, it is naturally more dependent on trade than other churches, whether it is formal or informal. Therefore, among the four orthodox churches, Xingyi has the best relationship with black market traders and can be said to be the largest orthodox customer of black market traders.
However, this still cannot be made public, so Isaiah and the black marketeers still call each other "sellers and buyers", as if they know nothing about each other's background.
This formalism is not very useful, but it is necessary.
“Please rest assured, Mr. Isaiah.” The leading black businessman looked at the guards of Xingyi driving away the few onlookers around and said with a smile, “The only ones who can come to Wuming Town are our own people. You don’t need to worry too much.”
"Haha, I'm just a visitor passing by, what's there to worry about?" Isaiah said with a smile, "It's just that my students are a little nervous, relax, Mina."
Mina lowered her head: "Yes, teacher."
In fact, Mina was also somewhat dissatisfied. After all, they were authentic orthodox Christians. How could they grow up like this and come to the headquarters of a black marketeer? How bad would it be for their reputation if this got out?
But this was the arrangement of the Land of Contract, and Isaiah had no objection, so she naturally could not refute it. So after Isaiah spoke again, she simply followed the teacher silently, treating herself as a little mute.
"Mr. Isaiah, this is your first time here." The leading black businessman said with a smile, "We have prepared some small gifts for you, please have a look..."
The leading black businessman handed Isaiah an exquisitely designed folding telescope.
"Oh? That's quite interesting."
Isaiah took the telescope.
This is an extremely rare mechanical creation. When the telescope is pulled open, you can hear the extremely crisp and pleasant sound of gears rolling in the joints.
But it is not a completely mechanical creation, because there is a row of small runes on the mirror. If you look closely, you can find that they are not runes, but musical notes.
"This was originally a product of Tianqin." The black merchant next to him introduced with a smile, "It was then processed by the players of the Holy Sound, which greatly improved its performance. Although it is still not as good as your eyes looking up at the stars, it is qualified as a toy."
"Haha, you guys are really thoughtful. I don't think anyone who looks up at the stars would refuse such a gift. It's very precious." Isaiah said with a smile, "But you just said where it came from, Tianqin and Shengyin? If I remember correctly, these two places are not in good condition now."
"That's true." The black businessman sighed softly, "To be honest, as a businessman, I don't want to see such a disaster. It will make our business difficult."
"Oh?" Isaiah said with a half-smile, "Shouldn't the more chaotic the situation, the more prosperous your business will be?"
"Look at what you said. We also want this, but the reality is not as we wish." The black businessman shrugged and said, "Let's not talk about Shengyin. The 'liquidation' activities there have not stopped until now. Our former guests were hanged on the mast like pigs, and the people who hanged them couldn't pay a penny to buy our things. As for Tianqin, I don't know why they would rather use the garbage dug out from the ruins to rebuild the city than buy some more convenient things from us. It's also quite strange. The current Tianqin gives people the feeling that it is more like an iron plate than the previous Tianqin. We can't interfere."
"Haha, it seems the world is changing very fast." Isaiah said with a smile, "I can hardly keep up with the times."
"No, no, no, how can you not keep up with the times? I have always believed that your spirit should be as eternal as the starry sky." The leading black businessman sent Isaiah to a hotel and stopped. "Although I still want to talk to you more, I think you should also rest. Please rest assured that no one will come to disturb you. When the time comes, the representative of the Land of Contract will come here to find you."
Isaiah nodded slightly: "Thank you then."
The two black marketeers left with a smile.
At this time, Mina, who had been silent for a long time, spoke with a little doubt: "Teacher, don't you think these two black marketeers are a little strange? I always feel that there is something else behind their words, as if they are asking you for something."
"Isn't it obvious?" Isaiah said calmly, "The situation is chaotic and there is a power vacuum. Naturally, these profiteers hiding in the shadows will have some ideas."
"You mean they want to whitewash themselves?" Mina was very surprised. "But who will help them? They don't even have a god behind them, so how can they come to the public?"
In this world, the status of the eight major churches is unshakable because of the gods behind them.
Mortals have no way to fight against gods. Only with the support of gods can mortals have the qualifications to come to the fore. Once the gods have problems, the order of mortals will naturally collapse. For example, Shengyin and Wildfire, as well as Tianqin before.
Isaiah said, “What if behind them is the land of the covenant?”
Mina was stunned.
"Remember what I said just now? The Land of Contract wants to be born, but they have the strength but no foundation. The Black Merchants are the opposite, so it's not surprising that they come together." Isaiah said leisurely, "As for why the Black Merchants think so highly of me, it's not because they want me to help them, but because they hope that when the time comes, I, as the representative of the Star Relics, will not object."
Mina stared at Isaiah in a daze. After a while, she took a deep breath and said softly, "I didn't realize what you saw... As expected, I am still far behind you, teacher."
"Haha, compared to the vast sea of stars, the little twists and turns of human beings are really nothing." Isaiah smiled and unfolded the folding telescope in his hand, then put it in front of his eyes like an old child, and said with interest, "Compared to this kind of meaningless thing, I prefer..."
As he spoke, Isaiah paused for a moment, then suddenly turned around and looked in a certain direction behind him through the telescope.
Mina was startled by Isaiah's action: "Teacher, what are you doing..."
Isaiah said nothing, still staring at the alley behind him.
But when observing through the telescope, there was nothing at the end of the alley except a low wall.
Isaiah was silent for a while, then put away the telescope and smiled at the nervous Mina: "Nothing, I just saw a cat."
"A-a cat?"
"Yes." Isaiah said meaningfully, "A very interesting cat."
After saying that, he didn't explain any more, turned around and went up the stairs, leaving Mina alone and confused.
…
At the end of the alley, Lyle was leaning against the low wall, breathing heavily.
What the hell was that just now?
The old man's glance back made him feel like his heart and lungs were about to stop.
If Lord Visas had not controlled his body and made him retract in advance, he would have been discovered by the old man.
But did he really avoid the old man's sight? Lyle always felt that this wall couldn't block the guy's eyes.
"Don't worry, he didn't see you."
Bai Wei's leisurely voice rang in Lyle's mind.
Just as Lyle was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard Bai Wei say again.
"But he probably found out."
Lyle's expression froze, and he subconsciously wanted to say, "Look at the logic in your two sentences," but when he thought that this was Lord Visas, he must be the one with no logic, so he forced himself to hold it back.
Facing such a loyal "subordinate", Bai Wei kindly gave an explanation: "He didn't see it directly, but he must have felt something. Hmm... how should I put it? It's probably the mutual attraction between the holders of the corpses."
Lyle was a little stunned: "Then why didn't he come to me directly?"
"He can't confirm your identity, and he doesn't know if you are from the black market." Bai Wei said slowly, "Besides, he is different from that fool. His eyes are also a secret, and he doesn't want to expose them."
Lyle didn't know who the idiot Bai Wei was talking about was, nor did he care, because he was more concerned about something else.
"Well, Lord Visas..." Lyle swallowed the saliva stuck in his throat, "Although I am willing to give everything for you, I don't think I can beat that guy. If you let me grab the eye by myself, I think the possibility is really not high."
Although Lyle really wanted to show off in front of Lord Visas, facing Isaiah, who almost scared him to pee his pants with just a look, Lyle felt that he should still have some self-awareness.
"Don't be nervous. I'm not asking you to fight that guy." Bai Wei said calmly, "Just give your body to me."
Lyle scratched his head.
Honestly speaking, he really wanted to be Lord Visas' right-hand man in all aspects, not just be useful to Lord Visas physically. That would make him too much like a puppet and too easily replaceable, which would not be good for his future development.
But what can I say? If everything has to start from small things, it’s useless in the first place. If you can’t even keep your body in good condition, won’t it be even more useless?
So Lyle patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Lord Visas. You can use my body as you like. Don't be polite to me!"
After saying this, his head tilted and he passed out.
When he opened his eyes again, it was already Bai Wei.
"You are really too sensible."
Bai Wei smiled and shook his head, then glanced at the hotel opposite.
He did not intend to use Lyle's body to fight Isaiah, because he knew how powerful the rules of the right eye were, especially in Isaiah's hands.
The rules of the right eye are opposite to those of the left eye. Apart from the common "gaze", the two are from nothing to something, one is from something to nothing.
The left eye goes from existence to non-existence. If I don’t observe you, you will no longer exist.
The right eye came into being from nothing. If I am observing you, you should exist.
And this existence will be frozen in that eye, just like Isaiah left a brilliant sea of stars in his eyes, so that he will always be under the illumination of the sea of stars and can always call upon the power of the stars. The shortcomings of the Star Warlock are completely non-existent in him, so he is one of the most powerful humans in the world and one of the most suitable people for the right eye.
Of course, the person who is most suitable for it should always be its owner.
So, it's time to find a way to get it back.
Bai Wei waited quietly for a while, and when he saw the messenger from the Land of Contract appear at the end of his sight, he stood up to greet him.
