Chapter 49: The Mage
The darkness of the night is also a source of despair, and even if the sun rises tomorrow, you can't be sure you'll make it to that moment. Interestingly, we all feel that the night produces hope and that our lives will rise like the sun tomorrow.
Jiang Qiufang turned his head aside, indicating that he didn't want to talk about it, and then said: "Brother Cao, it's okay if you're fine, where did Xiao Jiu and Nian Siqi go?"
Cao Tianyun didn't know where to start, and finally could only say: "This forest is controlled by a vicious beast, and it will be difficult to come out again after entering, and there is a lot of danger inside. I've been trapped in this monkey pack for quite some time, and I should have come out sooner. ”
Saying that, Cao Tianyun blamed himself, Jiang Qiufang also understood the general situation, so he said, "I'm going to go in and find Xiao Jiu." ”
After Jiang Qiufang finished speaking, he wanted to rush in to find Jiu Wentian, but Cao Tianyun grabbed her and said: "You are not yet three-fold, it is too dangerous for you inside, you are just going to die in vain when you go in like this, let's go to the city lord to move the rescue soldiers." ”
"He won't care about this kind of thing, even if the entire old city is going to die, he doesn't care!" Jiang Qiufang said angrily, and then ran directly in.
Cao Tianyun looked at Jiang Qiufang's back a little confused, although he also agreed that he didn't want to see this city lord, but after all, he was the lord of a city, and his strength and awareness of the overall situation would always be there, even if it was not as bad as Jiang Qiufang said. Cao Tianyun was ready to catch up, but his body was really unbearable, and his already tired body coupled with the sprint just now, he was already tired and collapsed.
"Autumn, Qiufang......" Cao Tianyun shouted out in his loudest voice, but to no avail, after watching Jiang Qiufang enter the monkey group, Cao Tianyun finally fell into a coma.
The inner perimeter of the Hundred Beasts Forest, inside a small cave.
A woman dressed in green was stroking the potted plants that were placed there, and said in her mouth, "You are so cute, you have to grow up obediently, and don't forget that I am your mother." ”
Jiu Wentian and Nian Siqi also took advantage of this coma to fall asleep, and after a short rest, Jiu Wentian gradually woke up, but Jiu Wentian did not let the woman notice herself, but instead got into the mountains and rivers in the white jade. He felt that since it involved the problem of plants, Gu Qi should know a little bit.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to be idle now, Jiu Wentian came directly to the first-order forest of the Watchman's Land, which was also the territory of Guqi.
Jiu Wentian was not in a hurry after coming here, because time passed much faster here than outside, as if he was here for an hour, and only a minute had passed outside.
Gu Qi was still the same, sleeping with his eyes closed, and after a long time Wen Tian came, he said: "Gu Qi, don't sleep, I'm going to die, you can help me." ”
"Well......" Gu Qi gradually opened his eyes, and said with some complaints: "If you die, you will die, what does it have to do with me, every time you come to disturb me when I have a sweet dream, to be honest, I want to kill you." ”
Jiu Wentian said with some embarrassment: "Uh...... I'll apologize to you, you're no longer the Gu Qi I knew before, you used to be so cold. ”
"I had a showdown, and I wanted to teach you well, but who knew that you would be so shameless, and I couldn't help it. Gu Qi simply put on a broken jar and said, "If you have something, hurry up and say it, don't sell it." ”
Jiu Wentian smiled, it seems that Gu Qi was indeed "influenced" by himself. Jiu Wentian continued: "That's right, I was going to go to the Spirit Pool of the Hundred Beast Forest to see what was there, but as soon as I came, I was taken care of by the things inside, those colorful plants were as if they had come to life, and those animals were also full of plants. Then I went to the flora, where the plants actually made me sleep with strange pollen, and now I was in front of a woman dressed in green. ”
"You're trying to get me to deal with her?" Gu Qi whispered.
Jiu Wentian said: "It's okay if you can, but I want to know who she is, at least let me have a bottom in my heart." ”
"Let's put it this way, maybe you only know that there are warriors in this world, but you don't know that there is another very secret identity, but those people are a group of crazy people. Gu Qi said slowly: "They are called 'mages' by the world. ”
In the next ten minutes, Gu Qi briefly summarized some of the basic knowledge of these mages and the matter of the woman in green.
The mage is actually the same as the one that releases magic, if you want to say it, in fact, the fire and snow in the fourth-order forest are the representatives of the mage. It's just that most of the mages rely on some natural elements such as wind, fire, water, earth, wood, and metal, but they all have too powerful power.
The difference between a warrior and a mage is that a warrior uses his body and the weapons in his hands to achieve the purpose of attacking others. For example, it is impossible for a warrior to control the rain today or let the plant grow rapidly, but the mage can make these natural elements change at will according to his own needs.
Because of their ignorance of the laws of nature, these mages were once considered a scourge of humanity and were treated as inhumans. But later, after the mages showed their powerful destructive power, no one dared to provoke these mages, and then the mages gradually disappeared. Because mages don't just practice and come out.
If you want to become a mage, you want to, and you are the one who is chosen. The life span of the mage has always been a mystery, according to Gu Qi's recollections, when he was a small sapling 10,000 years ago, a cardinal mage imprisoned a large number of saplings and turned them into many types of trees, such as Gu Qi became a soul tree, a tree that grew in the spirit world. However, after Gu Boyong's ignition, Gu Qi can also rely on his own strength to go to the real world.
He didn't know the green-clothed mage, he just heard Gu Boyong mention that there was a little girl who had lost her foot and drowned in the spirit pool, but the water there felt that this little girl was more pitiful, so he used his own strength to revive the little girl. In short, the little girl ended up being a mage made of water elementals, and although this kind of thing sounds like a strange thing, in general, that little girl should be a mage.
If nothing else, the green-clad mage is what this little girl will look like when she grows up. However, if this kid actually likes to raise small saplings like the cardinal mage, and also makes a tree spirit, Gu Qi feels that there must be some connection between the two of them. Gu Qi has also been haunted by the events of 10,000 years ago, and if possible, Gu Qi also wants to avenge the mage who killed his race 10,000 years ago.
When Jiu Wentian heard this, he said thoughtfully: "Since they are mages, then why would they do such a thing, it stands to reason that they should find a place to live in seclusion." ”
"Yes, that little girl has always been very peaceful, it seems that Jiang Cheng has also found out about her and said a lot. Gu Qi said, "Maybe that's how Jiang Cheng guided you to Lingchi, but he didn't expect things to come so quickly or have other intentions." Anyway, you still have to solve the matter yourself, if there is any news of the cardinal mage, you can tell me, maybe I will help you. ”
Jiu Wentian nodded and said, "I understand, and I want to know, can I, a person with congenital meridian closure, become a mage?"
"Yes," Furusaki explained, "mages don't use their powers, they communicate with the natural elements to make it possible for them to show their power on their own. You can understand that the kind of deceived people can talk to the gods, but it's just true. ”
"I see, it seems that if I want to become a mage, I can be regarded as having the power of self-preservation. Jiu Wentian said.
Gu Qi said a little nonchalantly: "If you want to become a mage, it is very difficult, you better not have too much hope." ”
Jiu Wentian nodded, and then went out. At this time, it was only a short time outside, and Jiu Wentian slowly opened his eyes and looked ahead, and now the woman in green was gone. Nian Siqi on the side had already woken up, Nian Siqi signaled to Jiu Wentian not to speak, they were not tied, but were thrown in the corner, relatively speaking, it was relatively good.
Jiu Wentian looked at Nian Siqi in a bit of confusion and didn't speak, he was afraid that his voice was a little loud and attracted the woman in green. I miss Siqi and said directly: "That woman is gone, not here, let's see where we are." ”
"Well, it looks like it's in a big cave. Jiu Wentian looked around and said: "But it seems that the oxygen is quite sufficient, there is some moisture, there should be water somewhere, if it weren't for the torch over there, I guess we would be black-eyed now." By the way, do you know the mage?"
Nian Siqi was stunned for a moment after hearing this name, and was silent for a long time before he said: "I've heard a little, but mages are all legendary people, don't you want to say that the woman is a mage?"
Jiu Wentian nodded and said, "If I'm not mistaken, she is a mage, she can control so many plants and make these plants coexist with animals, which is something that evil beasts can't do." For example, the dictatorship at most mutates the plants around it, but it doesn't eliminate the instincts of the plants, and the plants here are like life, so I guess she's a mage. ”
