Chapter 3: The Invisible Smurfs Gathering Place
"Professional!"
Hearing the word professional, Wu Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but he didn't deny anything. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He couldn't tell Gargamel that the idea was originally what you came up with in the movie, and here he just borrowed it in advance.
So he can't say it explicitly, Wu Ming can only smile slightly, and let the smile represent everything.
And seeing the mysterious smile on Wu Ming's face, Gargamel, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but take the lead in speaking: "Now that we have an idea, when will we leave?" I can't wait to catch those little blue monsters. ”
Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders indifferently, took a sip of the hot tea in his hand, and said with a smile: "You can do it at any time, but we need to prepare some barricades to besiege the possible Smurf tribe and not give them a chance to escape." You will also need some props to catch the Smurfs. ”
A net for fishing, a net for catching butterflies, beef jerky for lunch, and two hooded black robes, these are all Gargamel has prepared.
After the preparations, Wu Ming wore a black robe and held a net bag, and smiled at Gargamel who stepped out of the door, both of which were three points hideous.
"Let's go, Azi Cat!"
Gargamel straightened his hand, his hair like that of a sand monk, and blew a whistle in his mouth.
On the other side, Wu Ming watched the six roads, and together with Gargamel, who seemed to be sneaky, he began to search in the mountains and forests.
......
......
For three whole days, the two people and one cat who searched six mountains still failed to find any clues.
But everyone knows that this is not in a hurry, and there are dozens of mountains like this in the entire magical forest like this. Whether or not you can find a way to find the Smurfs is nothing more than luck, and everyone is mentally prepared for this.
In the evening, the sun sets.
Wu Ming sat on a stone and ate jerky, surrounded by Gargamel, who was resting on the grass, and Azi Cat, who was constantly licking his fluff.
It doesn't feel good to get nothing, and Gargamel, who was eager to try three days ago, is now like a frosted eggplant, and his fighting spirit has turned into a mournful sigh.
Listening to Gargamel's constant complaints, Wu Ming didn't say anything comforting, but looked into the distance and observed the surrounding mountains.
The mountains are hidden under the darkness, stretching for more than ten miles at a glance.
Before the Smurfs are found, each of these dozens of nighttime mountains may hide the gathering place of the Smurfs, and there is no shortcut at all.
Wu Ming knew that instead of comforting Gargamel, it would be better to think about tomorrow's route or ask something meaningful.
"Master Gargamel, how long have you been living in seclusion here?"
"I don't remember, it's like a treasure lot, and I rarely go out unless I have to."
Gargamel lay on the grass and looked at the sky, looking weak when he spoke, but he finally answered Wu Ming's question.
Seeing that Gargamel did not refuse, Wu Ming, who was already very tired, was full of new vitality and couldn't help but continue to ask, "Master Gargamel, isn't magic very interesting?" ”
"Interesting!"
Gargamel tilted his head, as if he had eaten a poop and was disgusted, and said, "Magic is not fun, there is always endless knowledge to learn, and there is always endless experimentation. When these things happen to you one day, you will understand how painful the word endless is. ”
Gargamel's face fluttered like a troubled child who was tired of school.
Wu Ming, who had been observing his expression from the side, finally understood why Gargamel behaved so badly in the movie after seeing this scene.
Motivation comes from interest, or from persistence.
Gargamel is a wizard, but he has lost his pursuit of magic, and if such a person still has the strength to defy the sky, it will be hell.
Perhaps Gargamel will regard the capture of the Smurfs as the only goal to improve his strength. Instead of being silent in the endless mysteries of magic, be a true magician.
Wu Ming's mood was very complicated, he didn't know if one day, like Gargamel, he would be tired of endless exploration. But he understands that he doesn't have the right to stop at this moment, and maybe wanting to stop is also a kind of pain and helplessness.
"Gargamel Master, do you think I have a talent for learning magic?"
"You want to learn magic?"
Gargamel, who was lying on the grass, became interested when he heard this, first looked at Wu Ming seriously for a while, and then shook his head regretfully and said, "You are too old, even if you have a magical talent, it is too late at such an age." ”
"Why? Is learning magic age-related, or can't adults learn magic? Wu Ming couldn't help but ask, the reward for his mission this time was Gargamel's cultivation notes.
If he didn't have a magical talent, Gargamel's cultivation notes would be of no value to him.
At the very least, it is equivalent to nothing in this mission.
To put it mildly, it is to completely close the door to magic, and I am afraid that I will not have anything to do with magic in this life, so Wu Ming is not nervous.
Seeing Wu Ming's nervous expression, Gargamel shook his head and took out his wand and aimed it at Wu Ming's arm: "It's not what you think, I said it's late, it's not that you can't practice magic." Of course, if there is a magical talent, I still need to make sure. Come, stretch out your arm, and I'll do you a magic detection. ”
"Magic Detection!" Facing Gargamel's wand, Wu Ming hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his right hand.
After all, Gargamel was not his enemy in every sense of the word, and there was no need to use evil magic against him.
And Wu Ming, who has watched the movie The Smurfs, doesn't think that a half-wizard like Gargamel can really use any extremely evil spells. Not to mention that the two sides are now mutually beneficial, and the cooperation is in the honeymoon period.
Thinking of this, Wu Ming did not hesitate at first, and put his right arm under the wand in a nervous manner.
Gargamel's wand, under Wu Ming's observation, pressed against his skin little by little.
The next second, Gargamel raised his wand and whispered, "Detect potential!" ”
... Sou...
A faint flash of blue light poured into Wu Ming's arm along the wand.
Wu Ming watched this scene with great wonder, but before he noticed anything, he only heard Gargamel's wand, which made a strange "crackling" sound, and the blue light also dimmed.
"Well, do I have a talent for magic?"
Wu Ming asked nervously, and Gargamel's face flashed with embarrassment when he heard it, and he said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, detecting potential is a very great magic, I need to use it a few more times to succeed!" ”
"Really!" Wu Ming showed a look of disbelief, although he had not been exposed to any magic, but as soon as he heard the name, he knew that a spell like detecting potential would definitely not be a powerful spell.
However, thinking that the wizard in front of him was Gargamel, a half-parallel import, Wu Ming said that this was not an incomprehensible question.
"One more time, detect potential!"
... Cracking sound...
"Ahem, it's going to be fine right away, detection potential..."
The blue light flashed, then dimmed again.
"Again, detect potential..."
"Detect... Detect... Detection potential ......"
After six or seven attempts, Gargamel's magic failed.
This time, Wu Ming finally determined how useless Gargamel was.
Where is this mysterious and powerful wizard, it is clear that even the buskers are not as good. If it weren't for Gargamel, who could still use his wand to emit a flash of blue light, I'm afraid Wu Ming would have lost hope a long time ago.
"Again, detect potential!"
The wand was once again on Wu Ming's arm, and this time Wu Ming didn't want to look at the result anymore, just sighed and didn't overdo it.
Contrary to expectations, the blue light on the wand did not flash this time.
Instead, under the wide eyes of the cat, it turned into a blue film, enveloping Wu Ming's whole person.
"Success, Gargamel, you succeeded!"
Inside the aqua blue shield, Wu Ming, who had been reflected, looked at this scene in amazement.
On the side, the ecstatic Gargamel, whose face was also unconcealably happy, clenched a fist tightly and vented his emotions with a strange laugh.
"Well, do I have any magical potential?"
Wu Ming couldn't wait to ask, and Gargamel just wanted to answer, but was suddenly stunned at the moment he spoke.
"Blue... Smurfs! ”
Following Gargamel's gaze, I saw that at the bottom of the grass, a blue elf wearing a little white hat was hiding behind a mushroom and peeking.
Seeing Gargamel's gaze, the smurf let out a scream of horror and ran into the depths of the forest.
"Oh my God, it's the Smurfs. Azi cat, we've found it, go grab it! ”
The Smurfs' escape seemed to touch the spring on Gargamel's body.
Gargamel let out a strange cry of excitement, and without saying a word, he withdrew his wand, grabbed his net pocket, and rushed out.
One person and one cat, in just a few seconds, completely disappeared in front of Wu Ming's eyes.
Wu Ming stood in place in a daze, and a gust of wind gently blew across his face, allowing him to reflect from his slackness.
"Wait for me, Gargamel. Is your detection magic working, do I have any magical talent? Wu Ming hurried in the direction of Gargamel's departure, the figures of the two of them stretched long in the moonlight, and a cat jumped up and down among the trees.
Chase, chase, chase......
The figures of two people and a cat, closely chasing behind the little blue dot, walked through the jungle in the dark night.
The panting Smurf, who was being chased, screamed as he ran, wishing that his parents would give him a few more legs.
The distance between the two sides, just in the chase, was shortened little by little.
The smile on Gargamel's face grew more and more hideous, and the cat's front paws showed sharp claws, ready to pounce at any moment.
... Meow...
A cat meow sounded, and the cat struggled forward, its paws slicing a bright light in the night.
... Boom...
It's a pity that the blow only hit a wildflower and didn't catch the Smurfs.
The next moment, the Smurf's screams stopped abruptly, and the small figure disappeared in an instant, as if everything just now was just a dream.
"What's going on?"
The disappearance of the Smurfs made Gargamel, who arrived later, extremely stunned, waving a net to catch butterflies, and couldn't figure it out for a while.
Just within Gargamel's stunned kung fu, Wu Ming, who was chasing behind, was late.
Glancing at Wu Ming, Gargamel scratched his head with his hand and said suspiciously: "It's gone, the Smurf just now is gone, right under my nose!" ”
"It's not gone, and the Smurfs aren't going away." Wu Ming swallowed and foamed, retorting Gargamel's words.
"You mean..."
"That's right, we found it. It's not just a Smurf that you'll find, it's their gathering place, an invisible gathering place. ”
As they spoke, they walked towards the place where the Smurfs had disappeared, eventually crouching down in front of a bush.
Wu Ming, who was crouching, glanced at Gargamel, and he slowly reached forward as if to grasp the bush in front of him.
... Swish...
Nothing was caught, and just as Wu Ming's hand was about to grab the bush, the bush in front of him suddenly twisted.
The next moment, Wu Ming's fingers passed through the bushes and probed into an unknown space.
"Behold, what a wonderful magic. Completely invisible, but also isolated from sound, it is really an ideal gathering place! Wu Ming said as he slowly withdrew his hand and smiled hideously at Gargamel.
Wu Ming's smile was hideous, and Gargamel was the same at this time, and the excitement in his eyes was even more difficult to hide.
Gargamel doesn't know how many years he hasn't been so happy.
Gargamel has always been defeated by the Smurfs, never winning once.
This time, having found the gathering place of the Smurfs, Gargamel felt that he had found a future, an opportunity to do so once and for all.
"What are you waiting for, let's rush in!"
"No, don't rush just yet. It's been three days like this, how can you not surprise them now! Wu Ming grabbed Gargamel, who was about to rush in, then raised the fishing net in his hand and pointed around the invisible barrier.
"Jiji, this time I'm going to catch them all."
Gargamel was not in a hurry when he saw the fishing net, and the two of them took this bush as a starting point, and one of them held a fishing net in his hand, and quickly circled it.
Truth be told, the Smurfs aren't a big gathering place, and even more so for adults.
After a while, with the convergence of the two fishing nets, a position of more than ten square meters was circled, and only the final blow to the Smurfs gathering place remained.
"One goes in and scares the snakes, and one stays outside until the fish catch in the net."
Wu Ming was the first to speak, Gargamel nodded lightly with a sinister smile, and glanced at the cat at his feet.
"Let's go, Azi Cat. It's time to say goodbye to old friends! ”
"Meow, meow..."
A person and a cat echo each other from afar, and under the moonlight, two demon-like beings to the Smurfs stepped into this holy land belonging to the Smurfs.
This night, for the Smurfs, is destined to be a sleepless night.
