The magician in the city

Chapter 276

Chapter 270 Five

The old man looked at the creatures in the crystal coffin with cloudy eyes, and Roach looked at the old mage through the crystal wall through the eyes of the Alien Queen.

He was too old, and in terms of a mage's life cycle, he was already nearing the end of the movement, and the last wisp of smoke was left on the candle in the wind.The old mage's face was covered with age spots, his hair was thin, and he was barely wearing a Taoist bun. He was too lazy to maintain his mask, but the tattoos on his face were out of shape due to loose skin and wrinkles.

The queen in the crystal coffin still maintains the physical condition of a mature man, and the passage of time is very little reflected on her body. Through the crystal coffin, she seems to be able to feel the breath of death on the old mage. This smell makes her happy, and she is spicy. There was a vicious smile in his consciousness.

The old mage looked at her indifferently, "It's been too long, ashes to ashes, dust to dust, the one you hate is long gone."

He waved his hand, and the liquid in the crystal coffin began to be pumped out.He worked casually, looking like an old man scrambling to fry eggs in his own kitchen.

But through the alien queen, no, the spiritual network of dozens of alien creatures, Roach felt a huge magical energy blowing towards his face.The old mage touched his ears dully, as if he had lost his mind, and after thinking about it carefully, dozens of crystal coffins were opened in random order, intending to wake up the monster from the seal.

Roach looked at the old mage and this grand underground palace from various angles through dozens of pairs of eyes.

Numerous ancient mage words decorated the hall like patterns, a natural light fell from the center of the hall, and more crystal coffins in the distance were silent in the dim shadow, even with alien eyesight, they couldn't see clearly.Roach could only vaguely recognize that the sizes of the crystal coffins were very different. The smallest one could only hold his cat, and the largest one seemed to be able to hold a full-grown elephant.

Roach was a little creepy, he observed secretly and wrote down everything.It's very strange here, not to mention the aesthetic characteristics of which era it belongs to. Roach noticed that the light came from an irregular natural crack, and it wasn't intentionally hollowed out to capture the light. It seemed that a natural cave was used here.

He looked carefully at the hall wall covered with ancient blue language. The pattern of the language was woven on the metal chain, but the area not covered by the chain was solid loess.Roach couldn't help but start to wonder, where could it be maintained for thousands of years by relying on earthen walls?In other words, the natural climate here must be very dry.

So far, he could only get so much information about the sealed place, he swallowed the information silently, and returned his attention to the old mage.

No, not his attention, but the Alien Queen's attention.

She turned her somewhat stiff wrist, paying attention to every move of the old mage, she made a fake move.The old mage didn't react at all, as if she was a harmless kitten, not a strange creature dripping mucus from its tentacles.

"I need to ask you to do something." The old mage said.

Relatively speaking, his wording is very polite.While the thing wasn't "please" at all, he didn't have to say it, words really were like noise, meaningless to the Alien Queen.What she accepts and feels are the mage's real ideas, or in other words, the mage's real wishes.

When Roach thought of this, he realized that the old mage was really old, chattering like a forgetful old man, his consciousness was mixed with his language, he simply liked to chatter.

The Alien Queen flicked her fingers nonchalantly, as if she was fixing her nails.The place was very dry, and Roach realized that this dryness was not very friendly to the creatures living in the rainforest, and the Alien Queen was not very comfortable.It's just that this kind of discomfort is not a problem for alien creatures with strong natural adaptability.

The old mage seemed to have forgotten what he was talking about, he was at a loss for a while, suddenly realized, and continued talking to himself naturally, "Oh yes, yes, for a race like you, I can still invite you out What are you doing? Killing, of course. No, no, not murdering, not the murderer, but the mage who is killing. I was... I was picking and choosing in the warehouse all day, I wanted to kill the mage, I wanted to kill the mage That one, only you are the most suitable. The others...the others are not the mage's opponents, only you, hehe, you are fast enough. Climb into their bedroom through the window at night, before they wake up, before they can Before finishing the spell, the throat was cut."

"Of course." Roach felt the queen's sneering smile, which didn't have any hint of joy, only cold sarcasm. She seemed to be getting used to the big scar poked on her body by the spear of fate in her deep sleep.She responded sarcastically in her mind, "Of course I'm especially suited to kill you."

The old mage laughed too, which sounded like phlegm slipping from his throat.

"It was a difficult decision to kill them," said the old mage.

Luo Qi dully did not guess who he was going to kill, he only knew that he was not talking about him and Du Zhengyi, this must be a bend in the upper reaches of the river of time, and at this point in time, Luo Qi probably hadn't born.Even his father doesn't necessarily exist, this is the node where the alien creature was first used.

"They are very good," said the old mage, "most of them are good people, good people, loyal, responsible..."

He muttered, grumbled, and shook his head like he was suffering from a cerebral thrombosis.The queen felt tired, she couldn't resist her fate, but fortunately she was quite satisfied with this errand.The old mage suddenly shivered, and Roach was really afraid that the shiver was because he wet his pants.

Unexpectedly, the old mage then screamed, "No! Don't kill them! You ungrateful old bastard!"

Roach was taken aback, and was a little stunned by fright, and the queen was also taken aback, appraising the old mage vigilantly.

"If killing people could solve the problem, we wouldn't be where we are today!" the old mage screamed.

Then he changed his tone again, looking more like him just now, "There is no better choice, this is the result of trade-offs, I can only follow the best route calculated, we have the best The decision-making system, the only lifeline in a desperate situation.”

Roach was kind of scared, he looked like some old freak, old stinking schizophrenic.

Suddenly, the old mage turned his face to look at the queen, as if he was staring through the queen at Roach behind him, as if he knew Roach was here.Luo Qi really wanted to pee his pants. This weird feeling was like a strange shape quietly lying on his back.

"You think I'm going to die?" The old mage sneered.Roach breathed a sigh of relief, he just felt the curse of the Alien Queen. "Thanks to you, beauty, my life is still long. I am about to get rid of this dying body, and the rebirth ceremony is just a few days away. It's just that I have been waiting for you, waiting for you to complete this task, I can reincarnate with peace of mind."
