Chapter 13 Seven-day hearing (13)

"You know I'm his friend." Du Zhengyi said, "Of course everything I say will be subjective."

Liu Xiuyun waved his hand, as if to disperse the flying insects in the tropical rainforest, and also as if to disperse the buzzing thoughts that have plagued his head these days. "It's okay. I've heard so much from other people, now I want to hear what someone who really knows him has to say."

Du Zheng had already finished smoking the cigarette in one hand, he let the cigarette butt disappear out of thin air, and then put his hand into the pocket of his trousers. "Roach is a good guy."

Liu Xiuyun nodded and waited quietly for him to continue.

"The most common kind of good person is the kind of useless good person who won't bully kittens and puppies. Master Liu, do you think I'm perfunctory? Actually not, that's the truth. He is an ordinary person. He has a conscience. It's rare these days, because conscience can be disturbing. He also has a sense of morality, which everyone knows should be moral, but few people can afford it. He doesn't have much capital to deal with conscience like most people. and morality, so not a hero nor a saint, he just did his best to care for and protect everyone he knew. I can't say that Roach has a lot of virtue, and I can't say that when you know him, you will love him. Then It's just a lie, he is not a little angel, and sometimes he is very annoying, in fact, many people actually hate him after getting to know him." Du Zhengyi said.

Liu Xiuyun was completely stunned, and looked at the ruthless Du Zhengyi in confusion, but saw a warm smile on Du Zhengyi's lips.

"But for me, the more I know him, the more I like him. Human beings spend 100 years of their lives socializing, and mages spend 200 years of their lives waiting. What about the happy person?" Du Zhengyi said indifferently, "So if this is a private conversation, I will stand on a private stand and ask you to give him a chance."

Liu Xiuyun opened his mouth wide. Magicians are not a nation with exposed emotions. Du Zhengyi's tone of voice seemed to be talking to him about the grammar of ancient spells, but now he was shocked by strong emotions.This kind of emotion made him feel exposed, as if a beast had torn its fur, as if digging three feet into the ground to reveal the roots of a big tree.

Du Zhengyi smiled slightly, "Mages regard survival as the first need, suppressing many other needs. Roach often said that we have no art, no sense of humor, no life, only survival."

Liu Xiuyun slowed down a bit, and realized that he shouldn't stare at the other party impolitely. "I know that Roach has been on the road to becoming a human. Has he... succeeded?"

"He is very successful, he is full of human nonsense, and he is a useless mage." Du Zhengyi said, "But he is also a very ordinary, ordinary human being."

"A very nice ordinary person?" Liu Xiuyun understood his words.

"Yes." Du Zheng nodded, Liu Xiuyun seemed to see a trace of regret and sadness in his eyes by mistake, but how could the God of War in Qionglin have such emotions.Du Zhengyi continued, "It's a pity that he has to live in our world. He can only slowly become hardened. This world once turned him into a human being. I hope this world can give him time to let him Transform back into a real great magician."

Liu Xiuyun didn't know what to say, but there was a hopeful thought in his heart, "If there is anyone who can buy him time, it must be you. I believe that everyone with a conscience knows that Luo Qi is actually It is our future, the only one who has the ability to succeed Venerable Pei Shu. Maybe you become friends with him and help him, it is just the future that the ancestor mage arranged for us."

For some reason, he found that Du Zhengyi's face didn't look very happy, but it's hard for ordinary people to see anything from the face of a deliberately concealed battle mage.

"Then I'm leaving." Du Zhengyi replied him.

He hadn't seen a more impolite young mage than Du Zhengyi in Qionglin.

He nodded helplessly, and Du Zhengyi walked towards a path in the rainforest.

"Wait a minute." Liu Xiuyun suddenly called out, "Master Du."

As soon as Du Zheng turned his head, the dark forest was gradually filled with mist, and his face looked extremely pale under the dim light.

Liu Xiuyun took a few steps forward, but the vines growing in the rainforest tripped him, and he stopped. "I've searched all the records, but I can't find any information about you before you were eight years old. Do you know?"

Du Zhengyi's face was very calm, and even a smile appeared on his lips. "That must be the wrong way for you to find."

Liu Xiuyun took two steps, staring at the weird young man, "You know?"

Du Zhengyi watched him quietly, with a funny expression on his face. "What do I know?"

"Do you know where you came to Qionglin? Do you know who your parents are?" Liu Xiuyun asked.

"Of course." Du Zhengyi said. "I know where I came from, and I know where I'm going."

Liu Xiuyun looked at him in astonishment until he bowed slightly, then turned and stepped on the path in the forest, like an elf in a human story, disappearing into the depths of the dense fog.He stood there for a while, dazed.

It was a long time later that Liu Xiuyun returned to his room, his daze was replaced by a heavy sense of responsibility, and he began to think seriously that they might really lose the rarest mind mage in 100 years.He resumed his reading of Roach's material, skimming through Roach's entire documented life.He didn't sleep all night, and Roach's entire life was almost engraved in his mind. He carefully checked the history of mages and the legends of ancient mages, trying to find an old rule that can deal with the current situation.

Until it was light again and he realized he had to go to a meeting.On the sixth day of the meeting, he sorted out the favorable materials he found, and no matter whether they were useful or not, he planned to have a thorough debate with Barida for a day.

He arrived a full hour behind the standard time for the start of the meeting, and he got the material down on paper so he could better argue with Barida.

Because he was too hasty, he also messed up the materials at the conference table, Zhou Quan kindly used magic to help him pack them back, and as a result, he messed up his order.He had no choice but to rearrange the order of the materials. At this moment, he heard Barida say earnestly, "I have been thinking about it all night, and I sincerely apologize to everyone for my impulsiveness yesterday. Today, here, I want to Expressing my final opinion - I believe Roach is innocent and can be trusted."

Liu Xiuyun raised his head abruptly, and stared at Bai Lida with bloodshot, sleep-deprived eyes.

"Thank God." Xiang Gan said, "It's finally over."

Liu Li also breathed a sigh of relief, and Liu Xiuyun sat in a daze, staring at Bai Lida.He was no different, the same Barida, looking good, maybe even had a good night's sleep...but, no, something was wrong.

Today's Barida even looks more like an idiot than yesterday.

He stood up unknowingly, and no one in the entire meeting raised any objections.Yes, as Bai Lida pointed out, Liu Li protected her students, Xiang Gan believed in Liu Li, Yun Maoran owed the Luo family favors, Sanchun didn't care about anything other than experimental magic, and it was inconvenient for Fan Ning to object.Peng Ruxin's department just made a mistake, and he won't speak up.Wusu didn't care about anything. Once everyone agreed, he wouldn't necessarily object to any decision.

"It seems that we can reach an agreement today." Liu Li said in a relaxed tone, "I also think there is nothing wrong with Luo Qi. Of course, Qionglin will always watch him."

"Wait." Liu Xiuyun shouted, "I don't agree."

"What?" Liu Li raised her head in surprise, and looked at him in shock, "Master Liu Xiuyun, you always seem to be inclined towards Luo Qi."

"Yes." Liu Xiuyun swallowed, and he thought quickly, "I request that the meeting be ended in seven days according to the original plan."

"Okay..." Liu Li said, "But you plan to..."

"I have one last hearing request." Liu Xiuyun said, "Li Xu..."

"Yes, that criminal mage, Master Gao Fan." Liu Li said unhappy, "We let him manage the security department because we were blind. This is really the most shameful thing in Qionglin's 100 years."

"Yes, but Li Xu recorded a very strange thing. It is said that there was a human monk who was terrified when he saw Luo Qi. I know that Luo Qi once said that it was because of the mind magic leaked out of his subconscious. I used to think that Roach's explanation was very sufficient." He had chosen to believe Roach, and he hadn't intended to raise this matter to aggravate Barida's paranoia, but now the situation has changed. "However, I have carefully checked Li Xu's original records. According to his description, human monks are very afraid of Luo Qi, and other than that, I have not found any records of people being afraid of Luo Qi. Just for the sake of caution , I request the investigation team of mind mages to conduct a detailed mind investigation on this monk, and submit the investigation results tomorrow."

Liu Li thought for a while, "Okay, I can accept your request for evidence collection."

"Thank you." Liu Xiuyun politely bowed slightly to Liu Li, then turned to look at Barida.Barida didn't take this matter to heart at all, as if he was talking about something he hadn't been interested in for a long time.He turned to Wusu, Wusu glanced at him with a half-smile, and then at Barida.He wondered if Wusu also felt something was wrong, and it didn't matter whether it was or not, because Wusu buried his head and continued to scribble hard on his tablet computer, preparing to complete his new painting.
