The magician in the city

Chapter 400 Great Cause

Chapter 390 Eight

Roach blinked in surprise, his gaze moved back and forth between the old woman in charge of the black market and the young God of War in Qionglin. "Hey, Mars on one side and Athena on the other, who do I listen to?"

A smile appeared on the old woman's face, and she looked at him softly, "Thank you, you are such a good boy."

Du Zheng glared at him.He coughed under the pressure, and stretched pitifully between the two mountains, "Um... grandma, can you tell fortunes or something? Are you a fortune teller? A fortune teller? I have some ability, but this ability I'm just a bit techy, right? If anyone can really push for change, it's someone big like Martin Jr. who loves to dream, not a mechanic like me. I don't have any ideas, I don't even have ideas. , as long as the family and the cats are all around, I can close the door and sleep. I am such a peaceful person, especially Buddhist, if you have that kind of expectation, you may have found the wrong person. "

What Luo Qi said earlier sounded like he was unwilling to give up, and Du Zheng stared at him unhappily, but after hearing what he said was appropriate, it seemed that he was really mature.As soon as Du Zheng looked at the fire, the mushrooms that had been re-spread on the net had been completely burnt. He cleaned up the roasting net, replaced the beef slices and started roasting again.

Just as he was gradually relaxing, he heard Roach ask again, "So grandma, can you see the future?"

He resisted the thought of glaring at Roach, he knew that Roach would not let go of any possibility of finding out the news.

"Do you want to know the future?" The old woman asked Roach gently.

Du Zheng glanced at Luo Qi, and sure enough, he saw a confused look on Luo Qi's face.Yeah, what is there to see in the future?

As far as Roach's monotonous life is concerned, he undoubtedly plays an important role in his life, and the future that Roach cares about is of course the future related to him.But this future, even mahjong can predict: there is no doubt that Du Zhengyi, the god of war in Qionglin, will soon be lingering and sick.If the future is truly predictable, then this is the future anyone sees, and Roach doesn't need to ask.

"I don't want to know the future," Roach finally whispered.

"So, look..." The old woman spread her hands, expressing her sincere helplessness to life and the world.On her finger was an emerald ring set in silver metal.When she stretched out her hand, Du Zhengyi heard a burst of energy beeping, and raised his head unconsciously.

At this moment, the tables sitting opposite them suddenly receded, and the space was suddenly enlarged, and Roach was startled and shivered.This child is still like this, he is astonishingly big when he is bold, and he is startled when he drops a leaf when he is small, not much better than a kitten.Roach reached out and grabbed his arm, and he heard Mr. Shi let out a light-hearted laugh, and then, like flowing water, a lute pierced the air with this laugh.

The aroma of the smoked cage rose, and several rolls of gauze as thin as onion wings were thrown from the air, hanging around them.Faintly, a man was sitting behind a roll of green gauze, holding a pipa, vaguely the Tang Dynasty pipa that Guan Xinyue kept at home.

Since then, the sound of the pipa started, but before anyone listened carefully, three figures sitting behind the curtain suddenly appeared.Looking like a woman, two people hold flutes and one holds flutes.First there was a long whistle, followed by a melodious sound of the flute.The musicians were all focused on nothing else, no one looked at them, they looked like people in a painting.But the music is real and melodious, shocking.

Looking at the diners who were eating and drinking in the barbecue restaurant, they have long since disappeared. Looking closely, there seems to be a solid wall made of bamboo behind the musicians.But there was a gust of wind blowing head-on, and it carried the atmosphere of the forest in the mountains.

Roach opened his mouth wide, stunned again.A sorcerer of thoughts in others' mouths, but now he can't tell the difference between illusion and reality.

Du Zheng shook his head, the real estate beer in front of him was replaced by an elegant jug, he pulled it over, and filled the three Jun kiln cups that appeared out of thin air with fine wine.He was not surprised by everything in front of him. How could Mr. Shi take the guest seat? They have been dealing with each other for a long time. When did Mr. Shi give up the initiative?With a gust of wind, Mr. Shi has already built this place into her own banquet hall, taking full psychological advantage.

The first glass of wine was given to Mr. Shi, and Du Zhengyi smiled and said, "Mr. Shi, the scene is getting bigger. Are you trying to suppress children who have never seen the world?"

"I've never been able to restrain you." The old woman complained slowly, "Because you have no taste and will never be moved by art."

Roach came back to his senses and didn't hold back a laugh.Du Zheng didn't care, but his attitude of indifference was more like a tacit acquiescence.

The old woman turned her head to look at Roach and said, "It's a pity that I'm old, and I can't keep up with the changes in human aesthetics. A few days ago I went to a human furniture exhibition with sky-high prices. I was impressed and confused. I don't know Should I design the skins of the furniture like they do. Should I paint l's and v's all over the censer shell, for example?"

Luo Qi laughed out loud, and the old woman frowned sadly, and continued to chat with Luo Qi, "I'm not the same as Du Zhengyi and his old captain. I haven't really been a Soldiers, I can drive them away with my wisdom, and in the rest of the time I can raise dogs and think about art investment."

"Yeah." Roach nodded in agreement, "They're all a bit...don't be angry, brother—they're all a bit straight."

"A straight brain circuit is suitable for being driven by Qionglin, using their sacrifices to sacrifice to the mage world." The old woman said frankly, and took care of Du Zhengyi's emotions, "I am not attacking Qionglin, I respect you , boy. Someone has to sacrifice for all and do great things."

"Great cause..." Roach pondered for a moment.

The old woman looked at him keenly, "What do you want to say, child? I never played for Qionglin, nor put on Qionglin's airs, you can speak freely. Seriously, don't waste my chance to sit here, I I have lived longer than them, and I have been dealing with news all my life, so I know a lot of things!"

"I want to say..." Roach hesitated, not knowing how to organize his words. "I seem to have heard that sentence many times."

"Great cause?" asked the old woman knowingly.

"Great cause, common great cause, supreme purpose, great goal..." Roach said several almost synonymous phrases in a row, and he said doubtfully, "I have heard many people say it, with different purposes. , come from different camps, but they all say the same thing. It seems a little... different routes lead to the same goal."

When he said this, he looked at Du Zhengyi cautiously, for fear that he would get angry.Because Luo Qi knew that the person who said this was the Lotus Burner, Qiong Lin, Zhao Hierarch, Pei Shu, and the first ancestor mage.In Roach's eyes, these people have gradually overlapped, and at a certain level, these people have a certain common quality that is obvious to him.

"That's because this is the purpose of the mage's existence." The old woman said affirmatively.

Roach turned around in surprise, "Purpose? Isn't it meaning? For example, it is meaningful to fight for a certain belief for a lifetime?"

"Of course it is the purpose. Because we were created by the Creator, since we were created by the Creator, of course we have a purpose. After all, we are born for something, and we are born with a mission."

"Uh..." Roach thought for a while, "The myth of human beings says that the Creator is lonely, so he created them..."

"Do they think they are the Creator's pets?" the old woman asked curiously.

Roach choked, not knowing how to answer.

The old woman didn't delve into it, "It must be a complicated problem. You are right if you don't know. Human beings have been asking where they come from. That is their problem. For us, mages were created by the ancestor mages. The purpose is to realize the great common cause. Of course, the vicissitudes of life have changed, and now even the first ancestor mage has disappeared. No one knows what the great common cause is. This kind of statement is just from the distant racial memory. It’s just a catchy slogan, anyone can borrow it.”

Luo Qi and Du Zheng looked at each other, he turned his head, and said falteringly, "If you are here to buy news about the ancestor mage... I can swear on my father's dignity that we have no information about the ancestor mage. "

The old woman laughed and said jokingly, "Fortunately, I know that your father is a decent person, with some dignity."
