Sword and Magic and Taxi

The halfling's small head, after being baptized by the sun and the moon for a long time, is not much bigger than a grapefruit in the hand. Although there is no magic, no psychic powers, and no natural force, there are secrets hidden in the bones.

The secret of biomodification.

The halfling society of Atas was highly developed, and there were no secrets in life, creatures, or species in their eyes. According to the few records of that period of history, we can only know that the halflings established a world similar to Zhao Mai's Z-worm. Buildings, tools, production and all aspects of life all use living bodies, that is, living bodies.

Highly developed biotechnology allows halflings to rule the world like gods. Other intelligent life forms native to Athas, including elves, humans, dwarves, gnomes, etc., are all the result of halfling biological experiments. Being able to create several complete races, halflings are naturally not afraid to experiment on themselves. They constantly break through the innate limits of their bodies and strive to make their bodies stronger and more refined, able to withstand stronger psychic powers.

They created too many organisms for the planet to support, so they wanted to change the water so that it would provide enough nutrients to support twice the number of species at the time. The failed attempt brought disaster, the chain of the ecosystem collapsed, and the halfling society collapsed. The halflings have become powerful enough, but this power is based on harsh conditions and on a supposedly stable ruling system, so they are destroyed together.

That era was so completely destroyed that few records remain. Halflings have never been able to reach their former glory - or even come close is an absolute luxury. Although the halflings still alive today surpass most races in physical, intellectual, and spiritual aspects, they are definitely less than one ten thousandth of what they once were.

The skull in Zhao Mai's hand comes from the era when halflings were the most powerful. It is a very rare item. As soon as Zhao Mai touched it, his Z-worm cells felt a unique biological reaction. Those previous modifications left deep traces on the skull.

It should be possible to restore part of the halfling's technology from this... Zhao Mai threw the skull into the psychic space. Although everyone knows he can do things like analyzing living things, they still don't like him doing it in front of everyone. Although Zhao Mai is not good-looking, he is still in human form. If it slowly melted in front of everyone and turned into a jelly-like aggregate of Z-worm cells, it would be beyond everyone's psychological endurance.

Zhao Mai personally handled each of the remaining items to see if there was any risk before putting them away. It would be better to leave it to Cotander to specifically identify the functions of these things. When carving up the treasure of the Witch King of Karak, everyone worked well together. The Crimson Legion's biggest enemy has been killed by Zhao Mai. I believe that the Masked Alliance's work pressure will not be so great. Zhao Mai is not greedy, he just takes what he can use and leaves the rest to the Masked Alliance. This will save you worries and Satiri will be happy too.

After taking away the most essential things, Zhao Mai thought he should leave Urick City, but unexpectedly he was dragged to the second place by Tyrion: the kitchen. Just because you can bask in the sun and eat mushrooms is fine, it doesn't mean that it's fine for me. I'm short and I need to supplement my nutrition! Tyrion's reason is one that any normal foodie would support. So Zhao Mai drove his car and rushed into Humana's kitchen again.

After just a few glances, Zhao Mai shook his head and stopped everyone. Human meat, he said: The meat here comes from the slaughterhouse, and you should know what Yurik's slaughterhouse does. Of course, not all meat here is inedible, but you still want to slowly distinguish it. ?

I would rather eat lizards or snakes in the desert! Tyrion shook his head: You are right, let's go.

They left the kitchen and headed out of the city without looking back, and Ulric finally broke out in rebellion. The slaves shouted Tyr, Lykas! and launched a counterattack against their masters who had been enslaving them. They once dared not speak out in the face of whipping and execution because of despair, but the news of the liberation of the slaves in Tire and its still standing in the desert undoubtedly gave them hope of struggle.

Screams occurred one after another, and the city began to become chaotic. It was not only the slave owners who were executed, but also those who had weapons in their hands. When an innocent person died in front of Zhao Mai's car, Zhao Mai stopped.

He reached for the car door and Tyrion called to him. Zhao Mai, you are too late to establish a reasonable and fair order in the city. You have two options: The first is to use your powerful psychic powers to directly coerce and manipulate the minds of the residents here to implement your will.

I wouldn't do that.

Then it's Article 2. You establish a non-combat zone. Any fighting that enters the area must stop and all weapons must be put down. Your most powerful thing is the deterrence of force, never the ability to rule. Therefore, you use force to maintain This non-combat zone, do you understand?”

It's better than my method, so let's do it. Zhao Mai nodded and winked at Duojian. Through training on earth, the former Queen of Wakanda, Dogian, has gained Zhao Mai's full trust and became the second leader of the team. As long as Zhao Mai leaves, Duojian will do his part to organize and take care of others.

Zhao Mai flew into the air, blue flames rose up from his body, and his powerful psychic powers spread his words to every corner of the city. Holding the Elder Wand in his hand, he drew circles in the air, enveloping the Slave Avenue and Xinmin Square in the center of the city, which was about one-fifth the size of a city.

Within this range, the Expelliarmus spell is running all the time. Whether it is a knife, a gun, a stick or a stone, anything that can be used as a weapon will be bounced away without exception. Those who did not want to be killed began to run towards this area, while the slaves who were still trapped by chains, shackles and cells began to call for help after hearing Zhao Mai's psychic powers.

Zhao Mai heard these calls for help, and his psychic powers spread across every corner of the city. The shackles of those who asked him for help were broken, the prison door was opened, and the passage blocked by the earthquake regained its light. He can't save everyone, but he can leave them a way to save themselves.

Zhao Mai is not omniscient and omnipotent, and cannot tell in an instant who is right and who is wrong between the warring parties, whether it is murder or revenge. He knows he can't be perfect, so he won't promise to be perfect. According to the principles of nature, protecting the cubs and continuing the race are the standards he has set for himself. Zhao Mai would not be polite to anyone who dared to attack the non-combat zone or who dared to deliberately block the road to the non-combat zone. These people didn't dare to fight against the Witch King. Could it be that Zhao Mai would give them the courage to fight against his orders?

The area cast under the spell of Expelliarmus later became known as Peace Square.
