The long fairy road is wonderful

Chapter 786 The City of Water
With travelling, experience and knowledge gradually increasing, Lin Tianci's original impression of "robbing immortals equals invincible in the world" in Lin Tianci's mind has basically completely collapsed.

It is not wrong to limit the "world" to Eastern China, but once the scale is extended to the entire multiverse world, it is outrageously wrong.

The world is too big, and there are too many unheard and unseen magical powers. Jie Xian is really not invincible in the world, he can only be said to be one of the ceilings of his combat power.

Compared with combat power, the most special thing about Jiexian is that he can ascend to the sky, which is something other powerhouses cannot do.

Tristia, the capital of water, divides ability users into nine levels. The highest level of super ability users can single out gods, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not inferior to Jiexian.

But the law of nature is that there are advantages and disadvantages, there is no perfect existence,

The advantage of the monks is that they are both internal and external, and their life span is extremely long.

The disadvantage is that it is very affected by aptitude and immortality. Every monk is one in a million, and those who can become immortals are even rarer. The number is incomparable with other forces.

The shortcomings of superpowers are also very serious. First of all, they are still human beings, and their life span is comparable to that of normal humans.

No matter how strong the ability user is, his lifespan is at most a hundred years, unless his super power is to 'increase lifespan', but such a guy has no combat effectiveness.

Secondly, superpowers cannot leave the water capital, to be precise, they cannot leave the vicinity of the water capital too far.

It doesn't matter if you just leave for ten days and half a month. If the time is longer, his superpowers will decline. If he goes to live in another place for two or three years, this person will completely lose all superpowers.

Therefore, the water capital has the fewest and most elite elite troops in the strange world, but it never tries to invade other countries to expand its territory.

"Since superpowers can't leave the vicinity of the water capital, is there something special under the water capital that endows them with this special power?"

"Your guess, we blue goblins have also considered it. The previous blue goblins have personally gone to the water capital to investigate, but they have found nothing. The initial guess may be that a large number of magic veins under the water caused abnormal magic properties in the air. In turn, it affects the humans living nearby, and it may also be like what you said, there is some special treasure, but no trace of this treasure has ever been found."

It may be that Brother Lin stood in front of the food stall for too long, and the owner of the shop waved to Lin Tianci who was chatting with Sai Li:
"Would you like to try it, little brother?"

——Lin Tianci never refuses delicious food.

When I walked in, I realized that what he was selling was fried rice cakes, but noodles mixed with cubed catfish meat, served with refreshing lettuce and pickled cucumbers.

It's also good to try exotic snacks, Brother Lin nodded and ordered one without any hesitation.

"Spicy food?"

"Please make me a perverted spicy dish, thank you."

He began to miss the taste of Leizhou fish in red soup again...

The owner was busy quickly, and Lin Tianci could clearly see that there was no fire under the frying pan, but the iron pan in the owner's hand was rattling.

Snacks are more similar to chow mein, the portion is just a taste, and they are packed in a paper box for easy eating while walking.

Lin Tianci still had some coins he received when he practiced medicine in Greyridge City last time in his pocket. Although Water City will also issue its own currency, it will also accept currencies from other countries because of the need for cross-border trade.

It's just that this kind of accommodation is limited to buying some snacks, and the currency with higher value needs to be exchanged at the local bank.

Lin Tianci gave the money, and while eating fried noodles, he heard Saili continue:
"The owner of the store just now is probably a level 2 ability user, and his ability should be to generate high temperature in the metal he touches."

All the residents of Water City are, at worst, Level 1 ability users, that is, they have superpowers but the effects are very weak.

Level 2 ability users can use their abilities in daily life, but using it to fight is rather nonsense, and level 1 and level 2 ability users also account for the vast majority of the residents of the water capital.

From level 3 onwards, the ability of a superpower can be used in battle, and can be used as a weapon, but the efficiency is still not very high, it is better to buy a knife for self-defense, it just looks gimmicky.

Level 4 is the minimum standard for entering the army of the water city, but it's really hard to find high-level ability users. The water city now has less than 1000 guards.Although these main combat forces also have the task of patrolling the streets, maintaining order on the streets mainly depends on the low-level city management.

Every time the level increases by 1, while the combat power soars, the number of people who meet it is getting smaller and smaller.Now the strongest ability user in Water City is only level 6. According to Sai Li, converted into a hundred-level system, it is almost just over level 50, which is equivalent to the level of earth immortals in Eastern China.

"The level of ability is all born?"

"To be precise, abilities are innate, not grades. Although people who are born with strong abilities are not ruled out, most of them are trained step by step from weak to small."

It's just that the exercise of ability users is really difficult, and it is accompanied by great risks.

If you want to grow your natural superpowers, the core principle is nothing more than going beyond the limit.

For example, you can only maintain a fireball the size of an egg at the beginning. If you want to improve your ability, you must increase the output to make the fireball bigger. This process is similar to overdrawing mana, except that what they overdraw is mental power.

And overdraft is a risky thing, which is basically equivalent to overloading the ability. Not only does it take a long time to try again and again, but if it is too hasty, the ability user will become cerebral palsy or a fool.

Upgrading to a low level is not too dangerous. Starting from level 3, the risk will gradually increase. That's why the residents of Water City are basically level 1 or 2 ability users.

It is also because of the great risk that instead of working hard to exercise superpowers, it is better to learn magic or martial arts and use them in conjunction with superpowers. The effect will be better than relying solely on superpowers.

While talking, Lin Tianci had finished eating fried noodles, threw the paper box into the trash can on the street, and walked into a pawn shop to exchange the hard currency such as gold and gems in his pocket for some local currency.

Only when you have money can you move around.

But there is no rush to find a place to stay in a hotel or something.

The City of Water is a city that can accommodate more than 20 people. Although it is not comparable to a real super-large city, the area is definitely not small. Lin Tianci may have to find the fragments of the extremely blue star in the water. Stay for a while, and get to know the surrounding environment first.

This is different from the previous visit to Gray Ridge City. Gray Ridge City is in a state of war, and it is easy to get into trouble if you walk around. Water City is a civilized city for business and tourism. There are tourists coming and going everywhere.

However, this also brings some troubles to the search for the fragments of the extremely blue star. Let alone the fragments may have been brought by a tourist. I don't know, if there isn't a quick and easy source of information...

You are ready to find death.

And Sally said calmly:
"Don't worry about the information. When you contacted me just now, I have already arranged it. Members of the local self-made association will assist you as much as possible."

Lin Tianci really hugged a rather thick...uh, beautiful leg.

The tentacles of the White Hands Association extend to all the planes of the multiverse world. It is bragging to say that, but it is true that the White Hands Association exists in most planes.

The last time at the other end of the Gray Ridge Mountains, it was the information from the White Hands Association that helped Lin Tianci find Lawrence's army. This time, they still need to trouble these all-pervasive intelligence experts.

But this does not mean that Lin Tianci can wait for the information to come to his door with his feet up.

Sai Li's orders will be handed over layer by layer within the White Hands Association. This is to hide Sai Li, the real owner of the White Hands Association, and it will also cause delays in the transmission of orders.

Before the people from the White Hands Association start to move, Lin Tianci can't be idle, what if he bumps into them just by wandering around?

What's more, the members of the White Hands Association don't know Lin Tianci, and now he needs to go to the White Hands Association's contact point in the Water City to identify himself, and wait for the White Hands Association to find information about the extremely blue star before sending it to Brother Lin.

Following Sai Li's guidance, Lin Tianci gradually left the busy main road, walked through an inconspicuous alley, and came to another block.

Although it is only one street away from the street full of tourists and merchants, crossing the other side of the alley is like entering another city.

The architectural style is the same as before, the big difference is the atmosphere.

As soon as he came over, Lin Tianci felt that there were many eyes staring at him, some of them were vigilant, and some of them were peeping with malicious intentions, as if the sunlight had weakened a bit.

This area is called 'Mouse Alley', and it is also the area where Leonie warned Lin Tianci not to enter casually.

"Mouse Lane has 19 streets and 8 residential areas, which are mainly controlled by 6 big gangsters, and there are a bunch of small fish below them. They are the gray forces that exist by default in the city of water, but this is not the case. It doesn't mean they can be lawless, gangsters who want to survive in the water capital must abide by the local rules."

Because the surroundings became quieter, Celie also lowered her voice:
"First, you are not allowed to sell any hallucinogenic drugs. Second, you are not allowed to collude with evil creatures. Third, remember to deal with the aftermath after killing someone. These three points are the most important. There are other detailed regulations that are not as good as these three points. severe."

Then he changed his tone:
"It's just a gang, but it feels like the gangs here are more like a family. The gang members are very closely connected. There may be some conflicts among the six gangs, but they are still very united in external affairs. In addition, Shangshui Capital sometimes needs them to deal with some things that are not convenient to come forward, so these gangs have always existed since the establishment of Water Capital.”

Walking along the quiet street, it didn't take long for him to come to a place that looked like a small square.

There is a circular fountain in the center and a square clock on top.

Not too far from the fountain, a few bear children are playing, and the toy is something that looks like a football.

From here, the road is no longer a straight one, but divided into seven or eight forks, not counting the dark alleys between the buildings.

Just as he was about to ask Saili where to go next to reach the contact point of the White Hands Association, Lin Tianci moved his ears and heard several footsteps approaching behind him.

Turning around, I saw a few men with vicious faces, tattoos on their necks or faces, and weapons such as sticks in their hands. In short, they were not good guys approaching slowly.

"Brother, are you lost? My brothers can take you out."

"No, I can find my way."

"Hey, it's up to you, come and talk with us."

Several people quickly surrounded Lin Tianci, and what they were talking about was definitely not just chatting...
