The magician in the city

Chapter 463 Ruins 8

Chapter 460 Ruins (8)

There are a total of nine members in the expert group, including Liu Li, who will give final expert review opinions on the safety of the mind mage Luo Qi.The nine chairs reserved for them were at the front, and now seated eight members, each over a century old.Peng Xiaopeng, who came from the Fan Shi family, was sitting in the second row of chairs, and now the archmage Fan Ning was sitting in his original place.After Peng Xiaopeng suffered enough insults a few days ago, he couldn't bear the pressure, so Fan Shi had to send a more senior person, his younger brother Fan Ning.

Du Zhengyi, who asked the question, stood between them and Liu Li, with his back to the expert group.Someone coughed, trying to remind him a little about the problem between status and rules.But he didn't look back, let alone retreat, and he wasn't disturbed in his momentum, as if the expert group didn't exist at all.

Liu Li's sharp gaze swept over everyone in front of him, and suddenly he gave Zhou Quan a sharp look.

Zhou Quan was slightly taken aback, and then realized what Master Liu Li meant.He immediately explained to Du Zhengyi what happened in the sandbox just now with the fastest speaking speed, before anyone could interrupt him.

Liu Li gave him a satisfied glance, he breathed a sigh of relief, swallowed slightly, and turned his gaze to Du Zhengyi again.He knew that Liu Li was trying her best to control the development of the situation and ease the conflicts between all parties, but it was uncertain whether she could control the development of the situation. He was quite curious about the direction of the situation.

It all depends on Du Zhengyi! ——Zhou Quan shivered for a moment, suddenly wondering why he thought so.There are nine members of the investigation team who are old and immortal, with profound qualifications, complicated backgrounds, and great power, and Du Zhengyi... is just Du Zhengyi at this moment.He didn't think that Pei Shu would help Luo Qi desperately in this matter.Will he? ——He won't, Zhou Quan answered himself confidently, there is only Du Zhengyi here.

Zhou Quan watched Du Zhengyi with great interest, the young man didn't show any reaction after listening to his report.He turned to Liu Li, Zhou Quan could only see half of the man's face under the dim light, that face like a statue was emotionless and impeccable.He spoke in a voice that Qiong Linli had long been accustomed to with his arrogance and impatience, "So the test has failed. Now the test should be terminated immediately and the sandbox opened."

Liu Li didn't express her opinion for a while, she pressed her lower lip tightly in difficulty.Du Zhengyi is also her favorite student. Although she is strict, she always protects her weaknesses.Du Zhengyi has always been her doting eldest son, and she doesn't think it's offensive for him to speak like this, but others don't feel that way, one person stood up in the chair of the expert group, and then two more stood up .However, the latter two seemed to be only disturbed by the interruption of the magic image, and they even took a few steps back invisibly after getting up, slightly opening a distance.Zhou Quan saw all this in his eyes.

Just then, the first person to stand up spoke. "You have no right to dictate here, child!" The speaker pronounced the word "child" emphatically.

Du Zhengyi turned his head to look at the person who was talking to him. He had white hair, a round face, light brown eyes, and a thick frame.Du Zhengyi knew who he was.Although he doesn't look like Fan Shi at all, he is indeed Fan Shi's younger brother.It's just a half-brother, he is more like his mother who lives in the grassland, and his mother has a good reputation among the mages of that generation.Fan Ning's appearance is rougher, and because of this roughness, he loses a little of Fan Shi's femininity. His decency is that of a prairie aristocrat, and there is more pride in the recipe.

"Child?" Du Zheng repeated the word he just heard in a strange voice.Zhou Quan almost laughed out loud, he didn't know that Du Zhengyi could insult people so bitterly, his expressionless face was now precisely filled with pity and surprise, as if looking at an ignorant elementary school student . "If you still respect the lineage of mages, it is too impolite for you to speak like this. I vaguely remember that you count as my cousin, but your mother's lineage is too far away from me. You don't know because of this. Who are you talking to?"

Someone really let out a laugh, it was the battle mage on the chair, the only representative of the battle mage.

Fan Ning was shocked at first, then became angry, but immediately fell into hesitation. This young man named Du Zhengyi was too domineering, but the empress behind him did not interfere with him.Even, when Fan Ning looked over angrily and protested to the venerable with her eyes, she actually avoided her eyes.This was really a heavy blow to him, and he was surprised to realize that this meant that the young mage didn't speak out loud, no matter why his seniority was so ridiculously high, it was the truth.Maybe their family has had children for several generations, and his surname is Du, so he can only come from the twelve families of mages.In the most orthodox mage society, even if this surname is almost extinct, it is much more precious than his Fan surname.This may not be a big deal in the peripheral mage society, but it is still very important in the core mage circle. His ancestors once married the Du family, and it was considered a great honor when he was young.He was so humiliated that he was speechless for a moment, but Du Zhengyi turned his head and continued talking at this moment.

"I don't know why you still don't stop the test. Since there is no possibility of repairing the monitoring, no matter what happens in it, you won't know, and there will be no test results. So now, stop the test immediately."

Fan Ning hurriedly followed his words. Originally, he planned to drive him away, but now he had to face the reality, and he had to argue with this young man. "I think it's best not to do this. We may never find such a good opportunity to test the safety of Mage Roach. If we give up this test now, Mage Roach will not be able to gain the trust of Qionglin again. Maybe there will never be another chance to trust. The result will be no good for anyone. We will always have doubts about this excellent mage, and he will spend countless energy to prove his innocence. An endless nightmare."

Du Zheng turned his head to one side and turned to him slightly, as if he was a little surprised that what he said made sense. "Master Fan, that's the only reason why I agreed to let him take the test." His face became cold again, and he said coldly, "But you messed up."

"Do you agree?" Another mage stood up from his chair, Du Zhengyi didn't recognize him.He was short, of course, a little taller than Roach. (However, Roach still has a long hope. This person who has lived 100 years must have no chance.) "As far as I know, Roach and you have only known each other for two months. What kind of magical contract do you provide the right to, To force the Supreme Council to ask for your consent? Or does Roach actually have control over you?"

"Master Xu Hong, it is impossible for Du Zhengyi to be controlled by Roche. I thought I had explained it clearly to you. In fact, with Roche's current technical level, he can't even control ordinary battle mages. About this point , I don't think it's necessary to bring it up again." Liu Li said in an unquestionable tone, the mage nodded stiffly to Liu Li, and sat down angrily again.

She sighed and turned to Du Zhengyi, "But I also want you to consider what Master Fanning said. He has a point. Roach must pass the test, but since we can't see what's going on inside, I think we should put The test time has been shortened to 48 hours."

"24 hours." Du Zhengyi said in a deep voice.

Liu Li hesitated for a moment, turned to Fan Ning, and said with a slight request. "We still have a mage inside, and I hope to consider her personal safety."

Fan Ning hesitated, "One of the most important tests for mind mages is the ability to withstand mental stress for a long time. Even 48 hours is already very short. Maybe we can consider opening a sandbox every twelve hours and giving it away Go in and check the situation inside, while maintaining the original length of time."

"Fan Ning, you should know that the sandbox cannot be opened at will. Every time you open it, it will affect the closed magic space inside. Frequent opening may change the rules of the sandbox. Even if it is only a small change in conditions, it is not sure what stimulation it will cause to the creatures inside. , the situation may exceed Luo Qi's control ability, and that will be a huge loss to the entire mage society." Liu Li said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Zhengyi said suddenly, "I will go in for an assessment after twelve hours. If I think the test should be terminated, I will take them out. The test must end within 48 hours at the latest, otherwise I will represent Luo Qi applied to the highland mage for mage asylum."

"You are betraying!" the mage just now shouted angrily.

Du Zhengyi turned his head away and said calmly. "You can go and tell the highland mages that if anyone applies for asylum to the highland mages, they are betraying Qionglin. I guarantee that when your life is faced with unreasonable threats, the only way you can go is suicide .”

"Is the threat coming from you?" the old mage said angrily.

Du Zhengyi looked directly at him quietly, "It's up to you to understand."

"Shut up." Mage Liu Li yelled, not just targeting Du Zhengyi, she took out the identity of the venerable mage, and glanced sharply from Du Zhengyi to the sitting senior mage. "Master Xu, you should understand the delicate balance between us and the highland mages. Do you really want to create a diplomatic crisis on their territory?"

"But..." He opened his mouth and said, actually already a little nervous, regretting his rash slip of the tongue.

Zhou Quan suddenly smiled and said, "Master Xu is just used to saying such things in Qionglin. We all are, so it's not a big deal. Who would have thought that one day we would be exiled to the highland mage's territory ,Ha ha……"

"Shut your mouth, Zhou Quan, we are not in exile." Liu Li said angrily, "Let's decide this way, open the sandbox once in twelve hours. But, Du Zhengyi, you can't be the only one going in, you will also There are other battle mages, and besides that, I have to let the experimental mage go in and install a new monitoring node. Wei Zhen, you are responsible for finding the most remote and oldest communication magic, and you must ensure that Liu Ziyu does not know about it. I will not allow anyone Argue with me again, and it's decided."

Her eyes turned to Du Zhengyi in particular, and Du Zhengyi raised his head, but his gaze didn't meet anyone, and no one refuted Venerable Master this time.
