Niu Changshou shook his head: "Even the wizards themselves do not know this problem, and it is useless for you to ask me. And I need to correct it. The technology studied by the Superman Association and the magic of the wizards are two kinds of things."

"Okay."

Xia Ren sorted out his thoughts, put his focus back on tomorrow's auction, and asked, "That painting does not belong to manuscripts or something. The wizards should not be interested, right?"

Niu Changshou replied without hesitation: "This may be possible. Generally speaking, the painting you want is an item with a very high chance of failure. However, the seller information of the painting is still confidential. This situation is rare and may attract some people's attention."

He added: "It would be great if there was an auction list. You can judge the importance of the auction to that painting based on the order of the list."

Arkham is mainly the territory of the Wizards Alliance. Although the foundation can install informants here to obtain information, it has never been able to reach a deeper position.

After dinner, everyone returned to the hotel together.

As Niu Changshou said, staying in a hotel in Arkham is a relatively luxurious thing. After all, there are people here who face the mouse boss and the demons as servants, and the safety of the demons can be guaranteed.

Lily still remembers what they said at the door of the bar. She did not sleep in the same room with Qin Yun and the others, but followed Xia Ren into another room.

Since following Xia Ren, the guy has never had a full meal, and has only gnawed the remains of the ghoul. This afternoon, this is the first time she has actually eaten food that suits her identity as Shuges. She is a little overwhelmed. When she entered the room, she found a corner to shrink into a ball and slept.

Niu Changshou gave Xia Ren a look: "Can you go out?"

Xia Ren hesitated for a while, let out a long sigh and said, "No, when will the matter you promised me be done?"

"The test is very precious, and it has not been a new one within the association for a while, so it will take some time."

Niu Changshou walked to the window, opened the curtain and looked outside, and said, "I want to go out to do something. If you don't go, I won't take you."

Xia Ren waved his hand: "Go and go."

Niu Changshou laughed twice, opened the door and walked out.

When he arrived at the corridor, the smile on his face had disappeared and he had a heavy expression.

...

...

In the west district of Arkham City, there is an independent building, with towering walls separating it from the chaotic outside world, and at night, it looks a bit quiet.

Niu Changshou stood in front of the wide gate for a while and finally walked in.

This place was originally a university called Miskatonik. At that time, the sky was blue. Every summer, there were green plants everywhere on the campus. The scenery was pleasant and energetic students sat on the lawn talking about interesting things around them and their longing for the future. The entire campus was full of youth and vitality.

Since experiencing that incident, Arkham has been blocked by the magic barrier and can no longer see the sky. All the students on campus have disappeared. Now this place has been marked as a forbidden area by the Wizards Alliance.

As time goes by, this far-reaching first institution of knowledge was completely forgotten by the world.

Crossing the familiar and unfamiliar road, Niu Changshou came to the library and looked up and saw a faint candlelight on the second floor.

He showed a look of memories, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to sixty years ago.

After calming down his mood, Niu Changshou sighed and entered the library.

On the second floor, next to the bookshelves, there were several wooden tables and chairs placed by the window. The young man in black mourning clothes sat on the table. In front of him were several opened books and a candlelight.

If Xia Ren was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this young man was the person from the Wizard Alliance he met on his way to the foundation headquarters under Yi Zhiyu.

Hearing the footsteps, the young man raised his head out of the book and rubbed his slightly sore eyes.

When he saw the familiar figure walking towards the dim bookshelf, he couldn't help but open his mouth, very surprised.

"professor……"

Niu Changshou raised his hand and stopped him from continuing: "Miskatonick University is gone, and I am no longer a professor."

The young man quickly stood up and asked respectfully: "How do you know I'm here?"

Niu Changshou showed a gentle smile on his face: "In the entire archaeology department, you are the ones who are good at learning."

He patted the young man on the shoulder: "Nolan, sit down."

The two sat opposite each other at the table, and the joy on the face of the young man named Nolan was beyond words.

"Teacher, how are you doing recently?"

"I'm pretty good."

After saying that, Niu Changshou paused: "That boy Sinni... should call him the leader of the Wizard Alliance now. How is he okay?"

Nolan said jealously: "Teacher, he is indeed what you care about the most.

Sinni seems to be busy with something recently, and he didn't tell me, and I haven't heard from him for a while."

Niu Changshou's eyes were a little worried: "Recently, all kinds of hidden dark forces have begun to move. You have to watch him and don't let him do anything stupid."

Nolan said helplessly: "You are also Sinni's personality. He can't listen to anyone except the teacher."

He hesitated for a moment, and plucked up the courage and said, "Why don't you come back, teacher, let's chat together, isn't it good too?"

Niu Changshou shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand... In the past century, the government's control in all aspects has been declining rapidly, and the control of taboo knowledge has also been relaxed. The dormant alien organizations and apostles have begun to show their fangs. The Green Flame Brotherhood allows the magical rituals they have been keeping leaked. Organizations such as the Foundation and the Superman Association, which are not completely controlled by the government, have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and have expanded and grown rapidly with their active assistance.

No one knows what the government is, but Dr. Shuliusbailey has predicted the end of the world several times, and I am afraid that the old dominators who were sealed in the abyss will break through the cage."

"I occasionally think recently that it would be great if I had followed Professor Qin to the Crazy Mountains and died there..."

"teacher……"

Nolan wanted to persuade him, but could not come up with a suitable statement.

Niu Changshou looked at him, his eyes full of vicissitudes and said, "The professors in the same school are now only Xiulusbailey, and the students of the college are only you and Sinni. So, even if it is the teacher's request, please help me persuade Sinni."

Nolan bowed his head and struggled for a while. When he looked up again, his eyes were painful, but they also contained firmness: "Teacher, you know what kind of pain Sinni has experienced and his ideals. He is so proud that until the ideal is completed, unless he dies, Sinni will not stop."

"well."

Niu Changshou sighed heavily and turned to leave.

Nolan looked at his back and felt extremely sad.

They have not seen each other for many years. This time they parted and met again, I don’t know what time it was.
Chapter completed!
