In the courtyard of the laboratory, the main laboratory.

Li Cha continued to read the letter from Heidi at the experiment table. When he read the last part, he frowned and read it several times.

"By the way, Mr. Li Cha, I almost forgot to tell you at the end. Wood Island is actually not an island, but a simple place name. The reason why it is called this name seems to be related to a legend from a long time ago. The legend here There used to be a lot of thieves ravaging. For safety, people built fortresses with wood one after another for defense. In the end, it seemed like a heavily guarded island surrounded by water in the sea, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so that all The thieves retreated despite difficulties and got peace.

After the peace, people dismantled the fort, but the name has been kept, and there is the so-called Wooden Island. Now, of course, people are calling it by its new name, which is... Moore.

Yes, this place is called Moore.

In short, if you are going to leave Baishi City, Mr. Richard, but you don't know where to go, you can come to Moore to have a look, and I will always look forward to meeting you.

Thankfully, Heidi. "

"Wow--"

Li Cha stacked up the letter paper, put it aside, and tapped the table with his fingers lightly, making a rhythmic sound of "click, click, click".

"Wood Island? Wood Island! Moore? Moore!"

A single name is fine, but when the two names are connected together, he can't help but think of something. for example……

With a flip of his hand, Li Cha took out a wooden box from the space iron ring, opened the wooden box, and took out a small piece of cut and well-preserved parchment from inside.

This is exactly what was taken out from the inside of the metal ball after unraveling the seventeenth-order Rubik's Cube. After unfolding, there is a place name that has not been found so far - Stockholm.

Wood Island? Moore? Stockholm?

No matter how you look at it, it seems that these three have some special relationship.

Not to mention the current world, at least on the modern earth, it is like this.

Li Cha remembers very clearly that there is a city name very similar to Stockholm on the modern earth - Stockholm.

This city is the capital of Switzerland. Of course, what is more famous than itself is the name of the mental illness named after it - Stockholm Syndrome, also known as hostage complex and hostage syndrome.

This is a hostage in a crime. There is a fragile bottom line of fear. When a criminal is completely unreasonable and can take his life away at any time, he will subconsciously entrust the right to life to the criminal. After a long time, the hostages will feel that the criminals are forgiving and compassionate to him when they eat a mouthful of food and drink a mouthful of water. In the end, the hostage's fear of criminals will turn into gratitude, and finally into a kind of worship. At this time, the hostages will think insanity that the safety of the criminal is their own safety, and will take the initiative to help the criminal escape punishment.

In simple terms, this is the submission of human nature to tyranny.

This situation was first discovered during a bank robbery in the Swiss capital Stockholm and a 130-hour standoff, hence the name.

Of course, Richard is now focusing on the city itself - Stockholm!

stockholm,

It's a special name. In the local language, "Stego" means wood, and "Ermo" means island, which together means "wooden island".

Therefore, Stockholm on the modern earth is also called Wooden Island.

There are many origins of this name.

One of them is that in ancient times, there was a huge log floating on Lake Mälaren, which guided the first immigrants from Sigtuna to establish a city, so it was called Wooden Island.

There is also a legend that the local residents are often harassed by pirates, so they built a castle with giant wood on a small island at the entrance of Lake Mälaren, and set wooden stake obstacles in the water to resist pirates, so The island was named "Wood Island".

The latter legend is very similar to what Heidi told in the letter.

This is obviously not something that can be explained by a mere coincidence, which makes Li Cha unable to help but suspect that there is some unknown secret in it.

Compared with the modern Earth, the current wizarding world has many similarities, which Richard has known for a long time, and the universality of some physical rules illustrates this point. However, he doesn't really feel that this is really the same world, or the same world presented at different times.

He has always thought so, but the more places he went, the more things he experienced, and the more people he met, the more he felt that the truth of the matter might not be as simple as he thought.

Moore, for example, is a living example.

"Wood Island? Stockholm? Stockholm? Moore?" Li Cha said to himself, his eyes narrowed. The follow-up is a secret, but there is indeed a reason now, after leaving Baishi City, I went here to take a look."

"Then, let's tidy up for the last few days, deal with trivial matters, and then leave Baishi City and go to Moore?" Richard made a decision.

At this moment, there was a sudden "boom" explosion not far from the courtyard, the whole courtyard shook for a while, and a large amount of dust "rusted" from the roof of the main laboratory.

"Huh?!" Li Cha's eyes sharpened, he kicked his feet, and quickly left the place, avoiding the falling dust.

Then the No. 1 ring on the finger lit up slightly, the magic pattern of "Lightness of the Wind" was activated, the air condensed under the feet, the speed increased, and the door slammed open with a "bang", entering the yard.

Glancing around, he didn't see any suspicious targets. Li Cha raised his eyebrows, thinking of something, and immediately cast the powerful spell "Lord of Wind" obtained from the tomb.

The power of wind spells has been fully enhanced.

"Snapped!"

With a soft sound, Li Cha jumped up, stepped on the wall with one foot, and quickly swept up to the roof, then fell quietly like a feather, bent down, and looked towards the direction where the sound was made before.

Then Li Cha saw, in the direction of the end of the street, a black figure fled in front, and several figures followed closely behind. The chasing figure continuously released spells in an attempt to slow down the speed of the fleeing shadow, but the fleeing shadow was extremely flexible and could not be hit at all. The previous explosion was caused by a spell dodged.

After seeing it, Li Cha felt a little relieved, knowing that it wasn't for him. But then he frowned again: By the way, the place where he lives is already considered remote enough in Baishi City, and the fighters were able to chase all the way here. It seems that the situation in Baishi City is really bad to the extreme. Know what it looks like.

In this case……
