He showed a look of memory, and his thoughts seemed to return to 60 years ago.

After tidying up his mood, Niu Changshou sighed and entered the library.

On the second floor, next to the neatly arranged bookshelves, there are several wooden tables and chairs by the window. A young man in black mourning clothes is sitting on the table. In front of him are a few books that have been opened and a stand of candle lamps.

If Xia Ren was here, he would definitely be able to recognize that this young man was the member of the Wizarding Union that he met on the way to the foundation headquarters under Yi Zhiyu's leadership.

Hearing footsteps, the young man raised his head from the book and rubbed his sore eyes.

When he saw that familiar figure coming between the dark bookshelves, he couldn't help opening his mouth, very surprised.

"professor……"

Niu Changshou raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "Miskatonic 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 archeology department, you are the only one who is eager to learn."

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 fine."

After finishing speaking, Niu Changshou paused: "That brat Sinney...you should call him the leader of the Wizards Union now, is he alright?"

Nolan said with a little jealousy: "Teacher, you really care about him the most.

Sinney seems to be busy with something recently, 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 around. You have to watch him and don't let him do anything stupid again."

Nolan said helplessly: "You also have Xinni's character, except for the teacher, he can't listen to anyone."

He hesitated for a moment, then summoned up his courage and said, "Why don't you come back, teacher, and let's have a chat together, isn't it good?"

Niu Changshou shook his head and sighed: "You don't understand... In the past hundred years, the government's control over all aspects has been rapidly declining, and the control over forbidden knowledge has also been relaxed. Dormant heretical organizations and apostles have begun to show their fangs. The Flame Brotherhood allowed the tome they had been keeping to flow out, and organizations that were not completely under the control of the government, such as the Foundation and the Superman Association, sprung up like mushrooms, and expanded rapidly with their active assistance.

No one knows what the purpose of the government is, but Dr. Thurius Bailey has predicted the doomsday several times. I am afraid that those old rulers who are sealed in the abyss will break out of the cage. "

"Recently, I occasionally think that if I went to the Crazy Mountains with Professor Qin and died there..."

"teacher……"

Nolan wanted to persuade him a few words, but couldn't think of a suitable excuse.

Niu Changshou looked at him, his eyes full of vicissitudes, and said: "The professor at the same school, now only Hulus Bailey is left, and among the students in the college, only you and Xinni are still alive, so even if it is the teacher's request , help me persuade Sinney."

Nolan lowered his head and struggled for a while, and when he looked up again, his eyes were painful, but they also contained firmness: "Teacher, you know what kind of pain Xinni has experienced, and you know his ideal. He is so proud. Zinny won't stop until he's dead."

"Ugh."

Niu Changshou sighed deeply, turned and left.

Nolan looked at his back, feeling infinitely sad.

They hadn't seen each other for many years between teachers and students, and when they parted this time and met again, I don't know when it will be.

Chapter 519 Cotton [Seek tickets for subscription! 】

"Hey, did you sleep soundly last night?"

Early in the morning, after everyone washed up, they met in the corridor. Niu Changshou greeted Qin Yun and the others next door.

Qin Yun took Lili from Xia Ren's arms, and the little guy was gnawing his fingers in a daze, unwilling to wake up, probably because he hadn't digested what he ate yesterday.

"It's okay, but it's always dark here, so I'm not used to it."

She always has the feeling of getting up early in the morning, even though the time on the phone shows that it is already 07:30 the next morning.

Lu Yi complained: "The electricity should be reconnected here. Inefficient and unstable things like magic and alchemy are not as efficient as modern industrialization."

Niu Changshou explained with a smile: "The original power system of the whole city has been destroyed, and the outer barrier prohibits ordinary people from entering. You feel that the residents of Arkham seem to have received compulsory education and like to use science People who use it to solve their problems? They would rather not use it than create trouble for themselves.”

Lu Yi curled her lips: "A bunch of pedantic guys."

"Hahahaha, you should really say these words in front of them."

Niu Changshou clapped his hands: "Okay, the auction starts at nine o'clock. Let's go shopping first, then go to the venue, and leave after the auction is over. I don't think you guys want to stay in this kind of place anymore."

There are not many shops in Arkham, and most of them are places to eat and stay. Unlike the outside, there are also magic supplies shops and alchemy equipment shops.

The former mainly sells some ancient manuscript books that have been deciphered, as well as other things such as rare ores that can store magic power, while the alchemy equipment shop, in addition to crucibles and flasks, and various metals, also has some strange items. , Precious materials such as Bayaki's teeth, Chuchu people's skulls and so on.

But this kind of store only allowed wizards to enter, and the curtains at the door were tightly covered, so Xia Ren couldn't even look inside from the outside.

Niu Changshou took them to a remote clothing store and bought several black robes, one for each person. The robes had a wide brim, and it was almost impossible to see the faces under the shadows from the outside after wearing them, which was very suitable for covering up the appearance.

Xia Ren noticed that these robes were made of cotton, which was the same style as the robes worn by the aliens walking on the street.

Lu Yi raised her sleeves and smelled it, then frowned and said, "Why does this robe have a strange smell, and it's also hard to the touch, with a strange texture."

"is it?"

Xia Ren also sniffed, and found that there was indeed a strange smell that could not be explained, like... the smell of sweat from some kind of creature.

"Just get used to it."

Niu Changshou explained: "The cotton used in the clothes bought here is basically grown by those alien races themselves. The material is different from that used by humans outside, and some smells are inevitable."

"what?"

Lu Yi was very surprised: "Those alien races will grow their own cotton? But why don't they just use human cotton, the quality of which is poor and troublesome, aren't they the most afraid of trouble?"

"You do not understand."

Niu Changshou shook his head, and said slowly: "Although these cottons are of poor quality, they are specially picked by servants raised by other races. Some of the smell of gnats and oils is authentic to them, and it can just cover up the stench of other races.

Most of the human cotton is picked by machines, without the smell of blood and sweat from the slaves, of course they would not use it.In fact, there is another reason, that is, many of those alien races are relatively poor and cannot afford human cotton. "

Qin Yun tore at the clothes, it was hard, like plastic, and the quality was indeed poor.

Even Lily was a little disgusted.

"Okay, the auction is about to start, let's go to the venue." Niu Changshou said.
