Against the backdrop of this severe crackdown in Gotham City, there is a person who lives particularly well.

Robert Karen, a private financial consultant who was once a greasy middle-aged and cuckold, has been doing well recently, with flowers cooking oil in a bright fire.

Relying on the cash given to him by Li Ang, Robert set aside the sporadic stores left when the gang collapsed, and used the gold shop he had bought previously as a cover, using gold nuggets worth tens of millions of dollars as trading goods, and bought a lot of real estate from the second-in-commander of the gang who was eager to escape from the country.

After several years in prison, Robert, who left a secret, acted cautiously and worked with Jimmy McGill, a good friend who worked as a lawyer. The two helped the employer and grabbed a cake that was ten times more than his total property in this feast of dividing the gang's legacy.

Killing and setting fire to the golden belt, repairing bridges and roads without corpses, this ill-gotten fortune instantly added more than a dozen dance halls, nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, steel mills, automobile factories, and chemical factories to Li Ang’s name, and transformed into a veritable industrialist and billionaire.

At this time, in the basement of Williams Manor, Li Ang was flipping through the mystical classics written by Rebecca and Constantine.

The classical mystic school that inherited from ancient Greek speculative philosophy usually believes that the origin of the world is a mysterious existence called "Dayuan".

The great source is everywhere, running through the entire world like dense veins, emitting a special factor called "ether" from the inside out.

The best of human beings can sense the free ether in the air, and those with outstanding talents can even use their bodies as a transformation circuit, taking the ether emitted by the great source for their own use, and making magic that humans can also use.

Such talented people are called wizards, mages, magicians, etc., and the conversion circuit in their bodies is called magic circuits.

"The magic circuit in Western mysticism is roughly equivalent to the meridians specially used by Eastern practitioners to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth," Li Ang frowned and commented: "Communicate with heaven and earth, and transform the great power of heaven and earth for one's own use. In this regard, both East and West monks are the same."

The difference is that Eastern practitioners can distinguish themselves, create a sea of ​​qi in their bodies, and accommodate spiritual energy. When the sea of ​​qi gradually fills up, they will compress and liquefy the spiritual energy to achieve foundation building.

The mysterious scholars in the West who pursue truth have embarked on another path of development.

They believe that as long as new magic circuits are constantly opened up in the human body, the scope of influence on the ether (that is, spiritual energy) can be naturally expanded.

"This process is equivalent to an Eastern monk expanding the meridians in his body to facilitate communication of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

In short, if the Dayuan is regarded as an ocean, then the mage is equivalent to a water pump, and the magic circuit is equivalent to a water pipe.

The more water pipes, the more water you extract; the higher the quality of the water pipe, it can withstand greater water pressure.

The number of magic circuits can be increased by one or two through acquired artificial circuit assistance, while the strength of the magic circuit can become strong and flexible through the accumulated connection.

"This process is equivalent to refining essence into qi in the practice of Taoism, strengthening the eight extraordinary meridians, and preventing one from being burst by the overflowing spiritual energy during the process of performing magic."

Against this background, some occult scholars have found that the magic circuit in the human body has an upper limit.

Twenty magic circuits can be regarded as high-end talents, thirty can be regarded as outstanding talents, and very few can be regarded as a magnificent person. Forty can compete with the heroic figures in history.

In addition, wizards also discovered that magic circuits, as a "genius" can be inherited.

For example, Constantine has twenty-five magical circuits. If we trace the root of the source, we can roughly find the mage Merlin during the Arthurian period - of course this has diluted the blood relationship that has been diluted for countless generations.

For example, Rebecca, as an old witch who lived over 200 years old, had thirty-one magic loops, which were amazing and beautiful. From her ancestors, they could trace back to the ancient Greek period, a prophet who could communicate with gods in the Temple of Delphi.

If a wizard family can maintain orthodox bloodlines or marry other wizard families with noble bloodlines, they can inherit the talent of the magic circuit and their descendants will be endless.

Ridiculously, the wizards who claim to be noble have the same way of inheriting talents as cats and dogs, and they pay attention to eugenics and breeding with a genre theory...

Eastern monks also recognize the factors of talent, such as the spiritual roots in the "Huangting Jing" "The clear water in the jade pond is filled with spiritual roots, and the spiritual roots are strong and old" and the fate of "The extreme direction of Li Mingge" and "The same palace grid of the purple palace",

However, Eastern monks who slogan "Will there be a king, prince, general, and minister" have never believed that talent is the only element of cultivation. Even if the talent is poor, as long as they have great perseverance, great wisdom, and great blessings, they shout "My life is in my mind, not in heaven", and they may have to step out on a prosperous road.

Secondly, Eastern practitioners will never agree with the theory of bloodline inheritance of talent.

The theory of bloodline produced by the feudal rulers in order to maintain the continuity of orthodoxism is worthless in the eyes of monks. I am afraid that only those petty bourgeois who invade the brain "noble plot" and the third Indian brothers who have deep-rooted caste system will believe in the theory of bloodline.

Li Ang thoughtfully put down the thick paper in his hand and murmured to himself: "Although this Western wizard is a little bit unstoppable, their magic circuit system is quite interesting."

He opened his spiritual consciousness, and with the blessing of Guanglong's Ten-Term Spirit Locking Array, he examined the spirit bodies of Rebecca and Constantine in his blink of an eye, and copied the magic circuits of the two in his mind.

Li Ang closed his eyes and transcribed a huge amount of information in his mind.

After a moment, he opened his eyes and ran towards the neatly arranged set of forging equipment in the corner of the basement, and began to refine magic tools.

He melted the steel pipes he had bought and cast them into solid squares. Without waiting for the surface of the red iron block to cool down, he used a carving knife to engrave the magnificent patterns full of Western mysticism on the iron blocks.

"The magic circuit in the human body is a bridge to communicate the ether, and as a physical body, each magic circuit can accommodate a limited ether,"

While Li Ang said, he cut his thumb with a knife and dripped the red blood into the iron block along the lines.

"If the magic circuit can be replicated on steel with the essence and blood of the monks as the brushstroke..."

Rebecca and Constantine widened their glasses, and they gradually understood what Li Ang was doing.

Cast an ignorant iron block into a weapon with a magical circuit,

The Guanglong Ten-Term Spirit Locking Array absorbed the spiritual energy from the sea, and the vast ether poured into the iron block, causing the steel to creak.

After a long time, the iron block gradually cooled down.
