The magician in the city

Chapter 308 The Gardener

Chapter

The situation was a little embarrassing, and Luo Qi thought of many things in an instant. From any angle, Qionglin was hanged and beaten by the lotus burner.

"Is it possible..." Luo Qi said hesitantly, and glanced at the faces of Du Zhengyi and Pei Shu. "Is it possible that the Lotus Burner not only wants to find the Sealed Beast to slaughter humans, but also wants to defeat Qionglin? Even though Fan Shi had planned for a long time, and chose to do it at this time, the Lotus Burner may also be behind the scenes. Otherwise, Fan Shi The timing of the uncle's seizure of power is really a coincidence."

"You finally understand that things are not that simple?" Du Zhengyi said to him sarcastically.

Roach did understand, and he also suddenly understood why Du Zhengyi pinched his knee.If he continued to attack Qionglin, he would appear to be inclined towards the lotus burner.In the world of mages, things often only have two options, black and white, either black or white, either one or the other.Either Qionglin or Lotus Burner.Du Zhengyi has lived in Qionglin since he was a child. Although Pei Shu is like a teacher and a relative, Pei Shu is the center of power after all. Those who live in the center of power probably know that this place is actually the center of power. There's no such thing as talking about it.

Du Zhengyi didn't let Roach continue on this issue. He asked Pei Shu, "For the crystal of Master Guan Yushan, we actually cracked it very slowly, and there may be problems with it. Should the teacher take it back?" Give it to the calculator?"

"I want to take it back, it's very important." Pei Shu nodded.

Luo Qi saw Du Zheng took out Guan Xinyue's earrings and handed them to Pei Shu. "There is also information related to Guan Xinyue written in mahjong, which may be used as the key to decrypt it. If you still need the little girl's cooperation, you can send someone to pick her up."

Pei Shu took the earrings and put them in the pocket of his pajamas.The three of them were silent for a while, Pei Shu glanced at the milk tea in the cup, frowned, "It's too sweet."

Roach saw the milk tea in the cup disappear out of thin air, and a glass of transparent liquid was poured into the teacup, and he smelled a faint scent of wine from the air.

Pei Shu took a sip and looked at the swirling patterns on the carpet thoughtfully.Roach took this opportunity to look at the tattoos on his face. He couldn't identify what the pattern of the tattoo was. He just vaguely felt that the pattern was very old, maybe it was an ancient tribal totem, from an age that was far away and blurred.

The old man rubbed the cup, as if asking for warmth from the alcohol, "I can't say that Qionglin has mastered all the sealed places. I can only say that if the lotus burner really finds a sealed place first, the prospect of that is really great." Too bleak."

Roach knew that it was a terrible scene, and he was a little curious about how the mage world saw this future. "Master Pei, if the lotus burner really got a large number of sealed beasts, what would happen in the worst case?"

"That would be a disaster." Pei Shu said slowly, he looked up at the target in the void, as if he had seen the real future. "Humanity will fall into a massacre. The inventory of the sealed land is generally sufficient. They will start on several continents at the same time. If I were the commander, I would have the lotus burners attack the command centers of many countries at the same time , Cooperate with the frontal attack of the sealed beast. By the time humans react to the monster attacking the entire country, the army may have been paralyzed. All in all, humans are not opponents of mages, and their advantage is just a large number of people. Sealed beasts can make up for the number of mages Disadvantage, war is not war at all, it is a massacre under conspiracy."

"It's really not fair," Roach whispered. "We have always relied on human beings to provide living resources. Not only do we not know how to be grateful, but we also want to drive human beings to extinction. If human beings do not exist, we can only live by eating beans. This is the lotus that the lotus burners want to burn. back to standard of living.”

"We are not exploiting humans." Pei Shu said suddenly, as if seeing Roach's thoughts, "We rely on humans to provide living resources, indeed, but we also provide a lot of protection for humans. We, the race of mages, are no longer I know how many devastating natural disasters have helped humans resist. Roach, mages don’t like to talk about history, but since everyone lives in the same world, no one’s history is isolated. Have you ever thought that mages choose to hide Our own existence is a sacrifice in itself. We are not pretending to be gods to enslave and control human development. It would be easy if we wanted to. Don't you realize in the temple dedicated to Mahakala Is this? Humans should be thankful that we are not the kind of arrogant lunatics. But because we choose to hide, it doesn’t matter how grateful humans are.”

Luo Qi didn't speak, what Pei Shu said was indeed reasonable.

"However, human beings have always been a tough race." Pei Shu continued, "If you want to slaughter billions of people, it is simply impossible to kill animals alone. The massacre launched by the lotus burner, no matter how many survived in the end Humans, they will soon figure out what happened. At that time, revenge and resistance are inevitable. Many mages only know their own advantages, but do not know the potential of human beings. They struggled to survive for thousands of years, Having gone through countless wars, they are better at strategy than mages who have always been comfortable. In the final analysis, the sense of superiority of mages only comes from a comfortable life."

"Because I haven't seen the world." Roach muttered.

"Perhaps, most mages are actually still immature." Pei Shu said, "Qiong Lin is the umbrella of mages. The lotus burner felt that we were not radical enough, so he also pointed the finger at this umbrella, but he didn't know that this umbrella had already passed away. It’s full of holes, but it’s just encouragement to support it. If this umbrella is completely broken, I don’t know what the mage will face, and I don’t know where our world will go.”

Luo Qi listened steadfastly to the old man's chatter, and was no longer in the mood to interrupt and say something offensive.If Qionglin's top leader was as imposing as Fan Shi or as arrogant and hypocritical as Li Xu, he would be happier.Helplessly, the old man in pajamas in front of him is like a tired old gardener, trying his best to support the care of the garden, just to prevent the garden from withering, and he can't hope to restore the garden to its former glory.

This is the same root, and Roach can't help but be touched.

"Teacher, Qionglin has been through wind and rain for thousands of years, and there will be no problem this time." Du Zhengyi said.

The old man shook his head wearily, "It's like repairing a building. No matter how well it is done, it is not what it was when it was just built." He managed to cheer up here, "But tomorrow the sun will rise as usual, and the days I have to continue. I have to go, you should rest. I will come to you when I have new results. I still have a lot of things that you need to do, I have no choice, there are too few people who can be used."

The old man stood up, and his body was no longer as flexible and powerful as the young man's. Luo Qi couldn't bear it.He thought about avoiding the opportunity to work for Qionglin, but he couldn't bear to refuse such an old man who wanted to ask them for help.

　Am I a fool who doesn't know how to count...?

　　The chapter number was wrong for dozens of chapters in a row, and I was stunned by my own ability.
