The magician in the city

Chapter 589

Roach recovered from the shock and tried his best not to greet her.It was just a one-way message, and talking to the answering machine was so stupid that he couldn't forgive himself even if no one knew about it.

"I'm a very timid person." Mr. Shi began to speak, looking into the depths of the Silver Pine Forest.

Stop talking nonsense, Luo Qi thought to himself, you are a big boss in the underground black market, and you have an unclear relationship with the big boss of the Bai Dao, your life must be full of storms, and your sailing skills are also very good, everything is easy .

As if knowing what the listener would think, she said, "The longer a person lives, the less courageous he will be. You know what I do for a living. I buy secrets, and then spread them out. I know a lot of secrets intentionally or unintentionally. ...you're a master minder, so you're kind of like me, and you handle some secrets. We're like a net, and the secrets flow through us, filtering out some of the dross. And the dregs, I guess you know, are the truth."

Roach didn't respond. He looked at the pine needles piled up under his feet. The pine needles that had fallen all the year round were mixed with the mulch, making it soft to step on.

"I think you must have realized that I have another identity. Yes, I am a goddess, a goddess who gave up halfway. When I was studying in the temple, I realized that I am not suitable to be a goddess. But the temple of Wushan is also a goddess. A place where secrets are accumulated. Wushan exists independently of the world of mages. Wushan is hidden in the vicissitudes of life. The secrets there exude a decayed smell, which is older than the grass market outside Bianliang City in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is so old that you can even touch it. The God of Creation." She smiled wearily as she spoke, then raised her head and took a deep breath of the forest air, and the sunlight fell on her face through the gaps in the leaves.

This opener was a little too long for Roach.But the tone of the former goddess was inexplicably attractive, attracting him to listen quietly.

"Ah, where are we talking?" Mr. Shi sat down on a protruding root under the tree, and continued talking as if chatting. "I don't know where to start, but since I just talked about the God of Creation, let's start from the beginning of the primordial world. Please, let me tell you a story about the creation of the world first. ?”

Luo Qi listened, and mages don't record history, and don't care too much about history. There are a few stories about the creation of the world, but they are not clear, and there is no story at all.He really wanted to hear the creation story in the Wushan Temple. According to the time calculation, it might really be the oldest version of the story.

"When it comes to creation stories, all races must first tell where they come from, and the story of Wushan is no exception. In this world under our feet, our story began tens of thousands of years ago. But in another In the world, we have existed for a longer period of time, which is said to be tens of millions of years. My imagination is really not enough. I don’t know what the concept of tens of millions of years is, but the beginning of this story is almost common to us and all human beings. The memories of the distant ancestors. You must have heard that the ancestor mage encountered the doomsday battle in his own world, and the last few surviving ancestors came to this world in the sky bird."

This is a common part of all creation stories, and Roach himself knows that there may be nine surviving ancestor mages, which is the beginning of the nine Supreme Council.But some people don't think that's the case. Some people insist that the number of people in his family's story is not nine, and the highland mage also has some opinions on this.

"We don't know how many ancestor mages survived. But here, I want you to remember that the number is just an imaginary number. Don't forget this sentence. This is the first secret I want to tell you." Mr. Shi said that her eyes were very bright, and her expression was sincere and peaceful, without any hint of mystification.After finishing the first prompt, she seemed relieved, and continued, "There are three ancestor mages with names and surnames, and their real deeds can be found. When they arrived in this world, they were united as a trinity, There is only one goal, and that is common greatness.”

Luo Qi frowned his eyebrows in consciousness. Countless people have mentioned the common great cause. Pei Shu said it, and the lotus burner said it. It seems that as long as there is a name and a surname, people who want to have fun in the world have mentioned this slogan.

"I think you may ask, what is common greatness? Different people must have different interpretations of this sentence. In some people's minds, common greatness means the extermination of human beings and the realization of a single race. Most people probably don't. At the extreme, one may think that the common cause is to make the mage great again and become a god enshrined by mankind. There is also a small group of people, probably the elite among us, who are more capable and ambitious, and the common cause in their hearts is to restore the ancestor mage The magical energy of the era has made magic flourish again. But these are actually impossible to be the common cause in the eyes of the ancestor mages. This is a very simple reason, so the answer is obvious. The ancestor mages can easily exterminate human beings. They are gods. Prosperous magic, how could the common great cause they pursued be the desire in the heart of the mage? However, I don’t want to say how sacred they are, and there is not much divinity in them. If you treat them as ordinary people, They’re just people who have lost their homeland, gone through the end, displaced people. So what would their goal be? I think it should be to return to their homeland and restore their former glory.”

Roach believed she was right, and she made him feel a touch of kindness.It may be because their thinking is similar, and they are willing to remove the divinity from the mage and even the ancestor mage.

"Let's go back to the earliest days in the story. The three ancestors escaped to this world and worked hard to achieve a common cause. For the three of them, this world is too barren, and human beings are a very primitive and incompetent There is no way to help them. Oh, here, I have to explain. There are many self-satisfied mages who educate their children to say that the ancestor mages created mages in their own image, and created low-level ones. Just like in the story about humans, Nvwa made clay figurines in her own image as noble human beings, and then threw out more mud dots with a whip, and these mud dots became lowly human beings. "Mr. Shi laughed, "Of course it is not like this. The ancestor mage never regarded the mage as his own children, and human beings have existed for a long time, and they are the aborigines of this world. But = the ancestor mage did create it according to his own appearance. The mages also created magic for the mages in this world. The initial plan of the three ancestor mages was very rigorous, and the execution cycle was extremely long, perhaps too long. Gradually, two mages had other ideas. In the end The first to lose patience with the plan was the only female mage among the three mages. She thought the original plan was too slow and too polite to the world. The three mages had a quarrel, and the female ancestor created a more many mages, and some other dangerous creations."

Roach felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, and now he still can't believe that he met a part of the ancestor mage, and he was able to retreat completely.But putting aside his personal feelings, he found that he faintly agreed with her approach.Assuming that the ancestor mages failed in a doomsday battle and fled to this world, and they still have the ability to create mages, of course it would be better to create an army, and Roach doubted that he would do the same.There are some gaps in these stories, and the gap is why the original mage didn't do it.What the hell are they planning in this world if it's not to create mages to help themselves in the final battle?What is their long-term plan, is it possible that the plan is to use humans?For example, do they think human nuclear weapons are remarkable?They found that humans would add talent points to technology instead of magic. This talent of humans will eventually help the ancestor mage win?Are science and technology departments more useful than magic departments?It makes sense to think so. The countless human histories have indeed proved that they are truly war geniuses, and they have achieved outstanding results in the ability to destroy the world.

Just when he was about to fall into deep thought, Mr. Shi's next words disrupted his train of thought, and he even forgot what he was thinking just now.

Because Mr. Shi went on to say, "The problem with the second ancestor sorcerer is not ambition, but the weariness of fighting spirit. It can also be said that this ancestor is really a ancestor who does not do business properly. He gradually lost interest in the goal. The world made him intoxicated, he often traveled around, and one day he came to a place called Fengqiyuan by humans."

What?Roach's ears are almost popping up.Fengqiyuan, Fengqi Du's family, Du Zhengyi's family?

"Ah, what a boring story, it's so cliche." Mr. Shi said. "This ancestor fell in love with a human being on Fengqiyuan. I think it should be a primitive tribe of humans at that time. Fengqiyuan is a highland, or it may be a hill. It is said that it is a place with lush forests and bamboos. Maybe it is because there are Maybe it’s because the local people are good at building dams to resist floods. In short, the tribe in Fengqiyuan calls themselves the Du family. Our ancestors did well there, leading tigers, carrying eagles, living with primitive tribes, and even with his The wife had many children."

Roach didn't know what to say, he had vaguely heard this story, but no one said it as if he had seen it himself.There is a reproductive isolation between mages and humans, but...the ancestor mages can even create mages, and they can't have children if they want to.But wait, since they are so masterful at reproduction, why do they keep their created species reproductively isolated from the original species?

"Their descendants are surnamed Du, which is the clan name of the tribe. I think you probably already understand where your friend is from?"

Roach froze suddenly, why did they suddenly become an identified conversation?

Mr. Shi solved his doubts, "I know you must be the future friend of the child just now, because I will leave my memory to his friend. You know, he is almost the last Du Shi in this world. Ah, don't say sad words, let's get back to the topic. Did you suddenly understand why Du's family is so special? Because they are special. They are the true blood lineage and the only lineage of the ancestor mages in this world. I want you to remember the second point of this story, that there are some gates in the world that are only open to the Primordial Mages or their descendants."
