Chapter 1704 Rumors
The popularity of the Rising Stars Tournament has slowly declined with the end of the finals. However, the players who have made their mark in the Rising Stars Tournament are still hot topics that bars like to talk about.
Although these players are still in the Sky Mechanical City, they are basically immersed in the trials of the Endless Corridor. Because they are less visible, many topics have been repeated several times, which is a bit boring. Therefore, in the intervals between talking about the players, many things that happened in the Rising Stars Tournament before, but have not been discussed in time, have been hyped up again.
For example, when Xia Li and Ka Fulian started a war in the main city, Qi Li and Jie Bo flooded the Fragrant Square, and the people of the extreme sect hunted down the puppets from the other world... and other news were once again talked about by them.
However, among these topics, the most popular one is still about Angel.
At this time, in the Black Wheel Bar on Champagne Road, there was a table of people talking about Angel.
"Do you know? It's the little witch Xia Li who dressed up as a magician. Some people saw her getting close to the super-dimensional wizard. It is said that they live together. Will they..." The person who spoke lowered his voice at the end, leaving an ambiguous blank at the end, causing the people around him to smile knowingly after a trance.
"Maybe it's true. Do you remember what happened on the street before? Not only did Jiebo flood the Fu Yu Square, but Xia Li also flooded the whole street at that time. It is said that many people died because of it. This incident slapped the face of the Sky Machinery City. According to the rules of the law enforcement team, Xia Li would have to pay a price if she didn't die. But in the end, you know, this matter has been left unresolved." The middle-aged man with a mustache said with speculation: "I couldn't figure it out at first. After hearing what you said, I guess, will the super-dimensional wizard help her settle this matter? After all, he is a member of the R&D Institute, and the law enforcement team dare not disrespect the people of the R&D Institute."
This remark once again caused everyone to nod repeatedly. The middle-aged man who made this guess also blew his beard proudly. However, he didn't feel proud for long before he heard a cold voice coming from behind.
"Why must the super-dimensional wizard have settled it, instead of Charlie having a way herself? Besides, the one who fought with Charlie was also Cavlin, and you all know her background. Maybe she used her connections to suppress the matter?"
The sudden cold voice made the middle-aged man who was chatting about gossip proudly frown.
He turned his head and saw that the person who spoke was a young man dressed very weirdly. Black hair, black pupils, black eye circles, black clothes, black pants, and black leather shoes. Except for the exposed pale skin, his whole body was almost black, giving the illusion that he was a vampire crawling out of a cemetery.
However, there were many reflective rivets on his leather clothes and leather pants, which dispelled some of the gloomy atmosphere.
The middle-aged man was a junior apprentice. Although his potential was probably exhausted, he was mixed in the bottom of the supernatural world, which made him very insightful. He didn't know the young man, but he was dressed so stylishly and had a calm aura, so he must have some strength.
In particular, there was a bat with scarlet eyes on the shoulder of the young man, which gave him a sense of threat.
"He is not weak, and may even be stronger than I imagined." After judging this conclusion, the middle-aged man was a little unhappy because of the other party's rebuttal, but now he put away his contemptuous attitude.
"I just said my own speculation, and I really don't know whether it is true or not. Sir, do you know some inside information?"
The young man with dark circles under his eyes drank a glass of wine coldly, and the red wine stained his lips, forming a morbid contrast with his pale skin: "I don't know the inside information, I just know a little bit, judging others with my own eyes is all presumptuous."
The middle-aged man frowned. He didn't know what the other party meant, but his words were definitely mocking him. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the young man with dark circles under his eyes glanced at him coldly: "No wonder you are just a junior apprentice. People who are overwhelmed by desires will always use their hearts full of desires to speculate that others are the same as you."
The middle-aged man now understood that the young man was scolding him in a roundabout way for not having enough vision.
"You mean, Xia Li has nothing to do with the super-dimensional wizard? But someone saw her living in a manor outside the city."
The young man snorted in his nose: "I don't know if there is any relationship, but I know one thing, Xia Li's mentor is also a member of the R&D Institute."
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man's previous inference was completely overturned. Since Xia Li's mentor is a member of the R&D Institute, there is naturally no need for Angel to help to settle it. And since Xia Li has this relationship, it seems normal for her to know Angel.
The middle-aged man wanted to say that the other party was lying, but seeing the young man's firm expression, he backed off again.
His own guesses about Angel were all based on inferences, and he used words like "I guess" and "maybe", but the tone of the young man opposite him was "confident". In contrast, he no longer had the position to refute the other party.
He finally opened his mouth, but did not refute, but just said "So there is such an inside story here".
His friend at the same table also saw his embarrassment at this time, and simply helped to change the topic: "By the way, speaking of the super-dimensional wizard, there is another thing that is worth talking about. Did you know that during the Rising Star Competition, the super-dimensional wizard also taught alchemy classes at Ashley Comprehensive College?"
The people present were mostly junior apprentices, and they didn't know as much information as they imagined. Many people heard about this for the first time and looked over curiously.
"From what you said, do you know what the super-dimensional wizard said in class?"
"I don't know what he said, but as far as I know, the super-dimensional wizard showed an extraordinary technical expression in his alchemy class, which dropped a thunder in the art circle!"
This person's words reminded many people of something that is very popular in Sky Mechanical City now.
"My mentor loves art very much. The thing I hear him talk about most recently is a box. Could it be that what you are talking about?"
"Yes, it's the drama shadow box." Then, this person began to talk about the response caused by the drama shadow box. People who didn't understand it were fascinated, but some people who knew the tricks sneered.
"Part of what you said is right. Some people in the art circle do say that this is an innovative reform that is almost earth-shaking, but many people who have experienced the drama shadow box have abandoned it and just said it is sensational."
This person's rebuttal also caused some people to respond: "Yes, it sounds a bit fancy. It is really a reform that subverts art. I don't believe it?"
When everyone had their own opinions, someone else said: "I know who you are talking about. The Whispering Witch bought a drama shadow box some time ago and criticized it for being unartistic and sensational. However, as far as I know, the Whispering Witch made another statement yesterday. She said that the drama shadow box is an epoch-making reform. She didn't know enough before, which was her mistake. She also said that she was going to find someone to cooperate in making the drama shadow box."
The Whispering Witch is a formal wizard, and she is very narrow-minded. Outsiders dare not use her to lie. And what this person said is sure, and it is obviously based on evidence.
"Why is the Whispering Witch's evaluation of the drama shadow box inconsistent?" someone asked.
"I don't know about this, but it is said that the Whispering Witch went to Sunset Boulevard a few days ago and bought a new drama box. After comparing them, I found that the technical content is different."
