Chapter 625 Ridiculous Possibilities
Early the next morning, Bai Lan came to Lei Luo's residence to report.
She got the mission instructions from Dean An Qi late last night, and she was very excited all night. Having grown up in Hei Er Wen College, she has been yearning for the outside world for a long time!
Boom, boom, boom.
The sound of the front door came, and Lei Luo, who was at the critical moment, said without raising his head: "Come in!"
After a while.
"Wow, Master, you got up so early and studied hard?"
Seeing the study materials and crystal lamp on the desk, Lei Luo was immersed in calculations and focused on studying. The little girl admired the little stars with her eyes.
Waving his hand, Lei Luo motioned for her to wait a moment.
The little girl tiptoed behind Lei Luo. The calculation paper in front of Lei Luo at this moment was after reading and reviewing the magician's wall demon experiment materials last night. Since she was not sleepy, she listed several advanced mathematical formulas with great interest. It involves the knowledge of celestial gravity parabolas in the art of meteorism.
Of course, such profound knowledge cannot be understood by a young girl who is an enlightenment scholar. Bai Lan only feels that these advanced mathematical formulas are like a heavenly book, which is quite noble.
"Well?"
Lei Luo was stunned and speechless when he noticed Bailan standing behind him.
I really didn't expect this little guy to be so unruly and actually run right next to me to peek. This is almost impossible to happen at the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences.
Since he had no habit of showing his secrets in front of others, Lei Luo had no choice but to put away the half-completed formula paper and put away his other belongings one by one.
"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why are you assigned a job here when you are so young?"
For a young enlightenment scholar, who is even younger than when he first entered the Grant Academy of Natural Sciences, to be able to have frequent contact with the dean of the academy, it naturally requires a lot of background.
"Hehe, guess!"
The white and blue round face looks like a red apple, quirky.
Lei Luo said speechlessly: "You are not Master Hei Erwen's illegitimate daughter, are you?"
"I will not allow you to taint the dean!"
The little guy who pouted and acted coquettishly one moment suddenly became angry when he heard Lei Luo's malicious speculation. It was obviously sincere. Hei Erwen had a high status in her heart.
Lei Luo said awkwardly: "Who told you not to say it?"
"snort!"
Bailan pouted angrily for a while, then hummed: "I am the hostage left here by my father."
"The hostage my father left here?"
Lei Luo looked at the little girl with an incredibly weird expression.
Now that he has his own child, of course he knows the status of the child in his father's heart. How could any father be willing to send his child away as a hostage?
Since they are hostages, who is Black Literature Academy blackmailing with this?
During Lei Luo's incredible thoughts, the two of them had arrived at the first floor of the tower.
This is where the academy's magic shop is located. There are seven or eight shops, large and small. Because the little guy has learned about his mission in the past few days through An Qi, he naturally brought Lei Luo here first.
She has already made a mission plan. Today she will have a good time on the fifth floor. Tomorrow she will go to the noble luxury goods area on the fourth floor. The day after tomorrow she will go to the raw material integration area on the third floor. She will need to avoid some sensitive areas by then. The day after tomorrow it will be processing on the second floor. Factory, there is no need to go to the first floor.
Well, the time planning is quite reasonable.
A middle-aged and prosperous businessman walked over with a smile on his face.
He obviously realized that the Lei Luo in front of him was a senior scholar, not one of those little guys who had just started to come into contact with academic knowledge.
Generally speaking, the value of the materials required by such high-level scholars is far beyond that of low-level scholars, and the shop's profits will naturally be higher.
"Master, what materials are needed?"
Lei Luo waved his hand and said lightly: "Just take a look."
The businessman smiled slightly, knowing that the person in front of him didn't like to be disturbed, so he saluted and turned around to greet other guests.
With the advent of the Wasteland Era, although the total human population has dropped sharply, the number of scholars has not decreased but increased.
The wasteland era advocates education for all.
Even people who don't want to become scholars are more or less exposed to relevant basic knowledge in their lives, which also drives the magic shop business of various colleges.
The bottles and jars contained specimens of lower insects, but most of them had mutated.
The white mice in the breeding box are as pure as ever, but it is a pity that major colleges do not lack this basic supply.
In the magic materials department, a bunch of inferior materials such as scales, teeth, nails and copper essence powder of unknown creatures were collected. For high-level magic materials, you need to notify the merchant to order them.
There are also several magic props, which are regarded as treasures by the merchants and placed in the most conspicuous position on the counter. The magic blessing makes Lei Luo unable to bear to look directly at them.
This is just a shop for low-level magical props, and Lei Luo's real purpose here is not to open up trade routes, so he just casually browses the goods here, looking for clues about the wizard.
"Damn, it's getting hotter."
A person complained and walked past Lei Luo.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
When Lei Luo, who was pretending to record the prices of goods, heard this, he smiled under the In this area, the temperature will rise to the limit of 7℃. .
Although it is only 3℃ at this time, it can already trigger an instinctive reaction in humans.
The most important thing is that if this abnormal temperature increase continues, it will not take too long, just a few months, and the ecosystem affected by the abnormal temperature area will become extinct at an average rate of 5,000 species per year at 0.1°C. !
With the current barren ecology of the radiation wasteland, the fragile ecosystem is almost vulnerable. Once such an impact rises to about 7℃, it only needs to last for a month or two, and it will be almost harmful to all living things other than humans. A brand new ecological catastrophe.
The ecosystem will further intensify the fragmentation of biological variation or the rate of extinction.
After a while.
Nothing seems to be found.
Lei Luo came to another shop and learned about this college through objective observation.
However, this time, just a moment later, Lei Luo seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. What was supposed to be a coping task actually revealed an incredible surprise under his X mask.
"Master, did you gain anything?"
Bai Lan asked excitedly, observing his words.
Lei Luo took out a piece of metal fragment from a pile of low-grade magical materials, held it in his hand and played with it, admiring it. He raised his eyebrows at Bai Lan and teased: "As I asked you before, tell me why your father kept you. I’ll tell you right here.”
"snort!"
The little girl pouted, unwilling to admit defeat.
Lei Luo couldn't help but smile when he saw this, looked at the shop owner and said, "How much does this piece of metal cost?"
The skinny old man came over and took a closer look at the unexpectedly acquired metal fragment. He still didn't find anything special and said, "Thirty-five silver coins."
Lei Luo didn't bargain, he threw out thirty-five silver coins and carefully put them away as if they were treasures.
The little girl finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"Isn't it just a piece of scrap metal? What's so great about it?"
Although she said that, her strong curiosity made her couldn't help but hum: "Unless you tell me another story about the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences, I will tell you."
"good."
Lei Luo became very interested and said, "Come on, pull the hook, no one is allowed to lie to anyone!"
After the two of them pulled the hook, Lei Luo said: "The metal fragment just now contains a little bit of Kongming Stone. There are probably not more than five people in the wasteland who know the application of this material. I also happened to learn from it. I learned the secrets in this book, little one, you are now going to become the sixth person."
Lei Luo deliberately teased the little girl, making the little guy curious and his eyes widened.
"This material is one of the necessities for the legendary gods to guide the divine power of laws, cast artifacts, and give them to the apostles! Although it is of little use to us scholars, it is of great significance for historical research, so it must be treasured."
"Wow!"
When the little girl heard this, she said in disbelief: "So, does this fragment come from a divine artifact?"
"Hmm, that's probably it."
Lei Luo shrugged, with a carefree attitude.
After longing for a long time, the little girl couldn't help but murmured: "Those great gods living in the sky... Hehe, but my father once said that gods will bleed and fall. Sooner or later, they will be completely extinct. The King of Earth] Lei Luo Pioneer must be more powerful than them!"
Lei Luo couldn't help but feel ashamed.
But this also made Lei Luo more curious.
From what the little girl said, it seemed that his father also respected him and looked at him differently? .
Next, Lei Luo was wandering around like telling a story while telling the little girl about many interesting things about the Academy of Sciences outside, describing them vividly. The little guy was fascinated by what he heard and wanted to see it right away. Then he seemed to think of his own life experience, and inadvertently felt a brief sense of loss.
Lei Luo saw all this in his eyes.
Time passed for a long time, and it was already evening before I knew it.
"Okay, now you should tell me why your father left you here, right?"
Bai Lan smiled brightly, seeming to cover up all her worries.
"Hehe, actually this is not a secret. Many mentors here know that my father is a powerful wizard in the dark world, but because they failed in the war with the distant Central Empire of Aurora, they had no choice but to flee here. And because of unavoidable reasons, I need some protection from Hei Erwen College, so I stayed here."
Wizard?
Lei Luo nodded and remained silent for a while.
I didn't expect to find clues to the connection between Heilwen Academy and wizards so quickly.
Of course, although Lei Luo wanted to find traces of Shadra, he did not intend to use a little girl to coerce him.
"Master Aoun, do you look down on me after knowing my father's identity? I heard both Hei Erwen and my father say that except here, scholars in other colleges dislike wizards."
The little girl looked a little timid and looked at Lei Luo eagerly.
"of course not."
Lei Luo smiled and said: "Xiao Kang Business School doesn't care about identity, we only believe in this!"
With that said, Lei Luo took out an extra gold coin in his hand, which immediately made the little girl who was full of trepidation reveal a happy smile from the bottom of her heart.
"Really? Hehe hehe, then Master Aoun, do you think if Pioneer Leiluo knows my identity one day, he will like me? I asked my father to tell me that he used to be with Pioneer Leiluo. I studied at the Grant Academy of Natural Sciences, but later because of some things, the two separated."
When Lei Luo, who was originally smiling, heard this, his expression gradually became stiff under the X mask.
The wizard of the dark world, once studied with him?
Could it be...
A terrible possibility emerged in Lei Luo's mind. He looked at the little girl, his eyes were completely different, it was a kind of complicated family affection.
"Probably not."
Lei Luo took a deep breath and said: "I heard that Pioneer Lei Luo likes progressive children very much, and he also has his own children. Even if your father is a wizard, what does this have to do with you? And I heard that since After that war, many wizards have given up their identities and have been recognized by Lei Luo's pioneers."
His eyes were filled with twinkling stars, and Bailan's breathing became rapid.
"But, there is also my mother..."
"your mother?"
The little girl finally mustered up the courage and said: "My mother is a saint of the previous generation of the Holy See. I heard from my father that my mother died because of persecution by the evil Pope. I don't know what happened specifically. But Dean Hei Erwen said that my mother has sealed a powerful power in my body, and it must be hidden with the help of the power shield here. If I leave the academy, I will probably be spied on by evil scholars, so I must stay here. .”
this! ?
Lei Luo's eyelids were twitching wildly, and this matter seemed to be getting more complicated.
If his father is really that person, what happened to the mother of the Saint of Light!
If the facts are really as Lei Luo guessed, it is really unimaginable how complicated the background context behind this is. Is the child of a great wizard king and a saint the end of an era?
This made Lei Luoyuan's heart, which was determined to explore steadily, become irritable.
After returning to the lounge.
Lei Luo walked around the room for a long time, Bai Lan's words seemed to have been echoing in his ears, over and over again, making it difficult for him to calm down and do his own thing.
finally.
He seemed to have made up his mind, with a sharp look in his eyes, he took a deep breath and resolutely opened the door and left the room.
