Jerlock looked into the distance, and he recognized the person who was getting closer, called Covey, and the two did not have a good relationship in his memory.
Jerlock pretended not to see him, and walked towards his neighbor's house.
Covey didn't want to pretend that he didn't see Jerlock, and stepped forward to block Jerlock's way.
"Why haven't you seen each other for so long, but you don't even say hello when you meet, do you, a big researcher, look down on us country buns?" Covey looked at him with hostility, and his face was full of mockery.
Jerlock thought about it and figured out where Covey's hostility was coming from.
When Kewei was born, it was an era of explosive population growth and the country's launch of family planning. Because of his birth, the family was fined tens of thousands of yuan, and the family that was not very good was even more difficult, coupled with the general environment at the time, the children who were born were looked down upon by everyone, and they always felt that they were born with the brand of breaking the law, so they were looked down upon by their peers since they were young, and they could not integrate into any circle, although no one bullied, but it also made his character more and more obedient and withdrawn.
He is becoming more and more hostile to the people around him, even the parents who brought him into this world, he feels that he was born unwanted, he feels that he is different from other people, others need to be grateful to the country and their hometown, and he does not need to, because his birth is not allowed by the state, and he pays the required fines as soon as he is born, so he does not owe anyone.
Covey's most hostile person is someone like Jerlock, who has excellent grades, a cheerful personality, and is liked by those around him.
The deepest impression of Covey in Jerlock's memory is that he often says things that are offensive to hear, such as if he were a demon person, he would definitely be able to become a demon king with his talent, and then lead the demon clan to burn and loot Yunyun.
However, delusions are only delusions after all, and apart from receiving more ridicule and alienation from others, Covey's life will not change in any way.
After all, his talent was not as good as he thought, and he had only barely entered the rank of a mid-level mage after graduating for many years, which was still with the convenience of his work.
Covey is a teacher, and it's ironic that a man who often makes Terran-hate rhetoric should be a teacher who teaches the future of the Terrans.
The state will give each teacher a certain amount of magic energy stones every year, magic energy stones can store magic power, which is convenient for magicians to practice, but it will not produce its own magic power, and the magic power in it is instilled by other people, and the magic power from other people can be absorbed to improve their own cultivation through the transformation of magic energy stones, but it is not their own power after all, so it will lead to impurities in the magic power, making the user's strength much worse than the same level.
This kind of thing is often for those who need a certain amount of magical cultivation, but don't need to cultivate too high.
And it was precisely by relying on the country's rations that Ke Wei reluctantly became a mid-level mage.
Occupying the country's public resources, enjoying the country's comfortable living environment, but not feeling the need to be grateful to the country, and even often making hate speech in class, a person like him who digs a hole at the bottom of an ethnic pyramid is probably the biggest social moth or parasite.
The biggest enemy often comes from within.
"But what does this have to do with me, a fire stealer?" thought Jerlock, moving his steps without even glancing at Covey, and walked past him into the neighbor's house.
The neighbor's man had just returned from work, and when he saw Jerlock warmly entertaining him, Jerlock briefly explained his intentions, and after getting his cheerful reply, he left without stopping to go to the next house.
Out of the neighbor's door, Covey was still outside the door, as if he was ready to hit him today.
"Jerlock, you really think you're amazing after going to the big city, and you don't even bother to say a word to your blind date!" Covey looked angry, and when he spoke, he almost sprayed on Jerlock's face.
Jerlock paused, thought for a moment, and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Covey speaks ugly and hates the people around him, but he is also self-aware and knows that everyone doesn't want to see him, so he rarely chats with everyone if it's not necessary.
Of course, Jerlock didn't think that he was here to chat with him, let alone say hello, after all, the two have always had a feud, and no one has ever expressed the intention of reconciliation.
When he was in school, Jerlock liked to verbally bully this guy who always made inappropriate remarks, but when he came to find fault on such a happy day for others, he believed that Covey was not so short-sighted.
If he said something inappropriate in public, even if Jerlock didn't say anything, the villagers around him would point to his backbone and scold him for not being able to go out to meet people.
The only problem at the moment is what this guy wants to do out of the blue.
"Me?" Covey was stopped by Jerlock's sudden question, he came to Jerlock on purpose today, but in his imagination it should be a simple chat to slowly talk about what he wants to ask, but he really can't speak, and the development of reality will not be as expected, so Jerlock suddenly asked for a while I don't know whether to say it straight to the point.
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it. "Fire thief Jerlock naturally doesn't need to care about the thoughts of an ordinary human, if it weren't for the unsuitable environment around him now, he wouldn't even have even glanced at Covey if he was worried that Covey's excessive entanglement would cause another incident.
"Wait. Ke Wei stopped him again, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, "You work in the research laboratory of the imperial capital, you should have heard about the infectious disease that has spread from the demon clan recently, right?"
Jerlock glanced at him and understood a little: "You still haven't given up after so many years? Do you want to get some secret news from me, and you can't go to the demon clan?"
Don't say it's not an infectious disease from the demons, even if it is, what news are you going to inquire about, at what level will the demons pay attention to, and accept your dog?
Although Jerlock felt that the scum moths in this race were annoying, it did not prevent the idea of using Covey from flashing through his mind, after all, he was not really Jerlock, and an enemy of civilization like him should unite the scum of other races so that he could achieve his own great cause.
Especially when Jerlock came back, he had just heard that the people of this village had only recently undergone a physical examination.
If someone cooperates willingly, maybe he will be able to stay behind better than he thought before.
Jerlock glanced at Covey, his gaze full of the food on his plate.
Looking at Covey's pale face because of his straightforward question, the corners of Jeroth's mouth were slightly hooked: "I do know a lot of things about infectious diseases that you are talking about, and even the research lab I am in is studying this, but why should I tell you those secrets? Or rather, what are you going to come up with in exchange for this information?"
Covey looked at him in disbelief as Jelloc Peak's words turned around, so much so that he didn't even notice that there was silence around him as he spoke, and no other sound came to his ears except Jerlock's words.
