The magician in the city

Chapter 566 Meeting (8)

When Roach woke up, he felt a little top-heavy for a while, and felt a little nauseous.He subconsciously reached out and touched under his nose, but he didn't feel the familiar nosebleed.It seems that using the method Wusu taught him is indeed better than doing it himself recklessly.

"How is it?" Wusu asked him without raising his head, drawing on the pad again.

Wen Lin raised her eyes from the rearview mirror to observe him, saw him leaning sleepily against the car window, and asked, "Do you have altitude sickness?"

Roach didn't speak. He looked at the red canyon outside the window. He didn't like this barren landform like Mars. This canyon was like a scar on the earth, tearing apart the peaks covered with glaciers.Glaciers aren't much to look at either, you might be thinking of Disney's Ice Queen, but in reality a glacier looks like a puff of soot blown onto your snow-topped coffee, nothing to do with pure goodness, it's kind of bad to look at Heart.Roach knew this because he watched human television, and humans traveled to almost all the continents of the entire planet.One day humans will travel throughout the entire solar system, as well as the deep space outside the solar system.

"You don't like this place either, do you?" Wen Lin looked at his expression and guessed.

Roach still didn't answer her question, he looked out the window quietly, as if the people in the car didn't really exist.Wen Lin glanced at him again and stopped talking.The stylus in Wusu's hand gently brushed across the surface of the machine, Shi Qian fell asleep, and the two girls in the last row of seats heard a slight sound from their earphones.The kitty purred and made a caressing guttural noise, and while he was asleep, his cat climbed into the back seat and fell into the arms of the girls.

After a long time, Wusu raised his head suddenly, and his eyes fell on Luo Qi's face, "Your thoughts turn quickly."

"Probably because I know everything," Roach said.

"Heh." There was an unsarcastic chuckle from the front seat, mixed with curiosity.

"I'm not testing you." Wusu explained. "I just feel that you are thinking at a high speed, do you often do this?"

"You don't know what I've seen." Roach whispered towards the mountains outside the window as if he didn't hear him, "Although it's messy and seems to have no connection with each other, if so much information is in front of me, I still guess If there is no answer, then my intelligence level is equivalent to that of an earthworm."

Wusu stared at him, "Didn't you dream it in a dream?"

Roach turned his gaze and looked at him quietly for a while, "Dreams are never nothing, what I'm talking about is my experience."

Wusu thought for a while silently, and finally nodded.

Roach turned his head and looked tiredly at the scene outside the car window, "Did you see that black scar in the river valley? It's like a scar among scars, a foul-smelling wound that can only be cut out by a poisoned machete."

"It doesn't seem to be formed naturally," Wusu said.

"Human gold diggers, I suppose," Roach replied.

"Like the gold diggers on the Yukon? Still?"

"Yukon River?" Roach said, "Master Wusu is very good, and knows much more than most mages."

Wusu smiled slightly, "It's just because I lived a long time. Have you forgotten that I'm still a treasure hunter?"

"Oh, yes." Roach said softly, and then continued to explain, "The altitude here is too high, it is difficult for human government organizations to supervise here, this place is a hundred kilometers away from the nearest village, or every square kilometer There may be less than one human being on average. Only the desperate human beings come here, oh, it’s not the way of gold panning in North America 100 years ago, they use the latest human magic, dig river valleys with modern engineering equipment, and clean the sand with machines .Although the gold content here is not high, this is a worthless business, and desperadoes can earn considerable rewards. However, if they dig the valley like this, the damaged ecology may not be restored for decades. More importantly What’s more, the melting of glaciers has accelerated, which has changed the geological conditions here, which may make the underground seal unstable. I was thinking that the place where they wantonly excavated is a bit too close to the sealed place.”

Wusu understood that the focus of this human behavior analysis lecture was on the last sentence. "Are you worried that humans will unintentionally dig out the sealed land?"

"I'm just talking casually. No matter what form the seal is in, it's impossible for humans to break it easily."

Wen Lin looked at him from the rearview mirror, "Were you also a gloomy crow mouth when you were with Du Zhengyi?"

Roach glanced at the mirror.

Wen Lin added, "You seem to have changed a lot since the last time we met."

"I almost ate your head last time." Roach said calmly, "I didn't think I was healthy and cheerful then."

Shi Qian woke up, looked back at him in astonishment, and turned back hastily.

Wen Lin laughed wantonly, and Roach could see that it was her way of dealing with danger, which made her a little excited.She was an ambitious woman, and a little crazy, and a dangerous little man like Roach, who was probably harmless, was a good fit for her ego.

Roach smiled, "Tell me about the folk tales you collected, what do those monsters look like?"

"All kinds of things." Wen Lin said happily, "To be honest, I don't believe most of what they said. The human mind is too fanciful. It is true that they have been affected by some kind of influence, but the result may be processed by their own brains. Roach, can we see Du Zhengyi today?"

"I don't know." Roach said leisurely, leaning on the car window, "Do you want to see him?"

"Du Zhengyi is a legendary battle mage. Of course, I hope to work with him and gain experience." Wen Lin said.

"Oh——" Roach raised his eyes, his face suddenly regained energy, and a smile flashed across his eyes. "Did you know he was interested in you too?"

"Really?"

"He talks about you a lot," said Roach, encouraging her. "But my brother, you look at him as if he is arrogant, but he is not at all. He doesn't chat because he is actually very introverted, especially embarrassed to talk to women."

"No way? According to you, Qionglin God of War is actually a pitiful little boy?" Wen Lin asked in surprise, the car was sideways.

"Yeah." Roach bit the joint on his thumb, "It's really pitiful, he is always lonely in his heart. He doesn't want to be a god, but he is respected as a god by others."

"Is that so..." Wen Lin was lost in thought.

Roach shook the messy hair on the top of his head, sat up straight on the chair, and suddenly froze for a moment, "Wait, the car is going east."

"East?" Wen Lin glanced around, "There is no road to the east."
