Chapter 26: The Transgressor Mage
"Then what should I call you?" asked Yu Qi.
"Don't use honorifics, it makes me sound a little weird, hmm......" Looking at Yu Qi, who was a head shorter than herself, Luo Miao said: "Just call me brother, you don't suffer at your age." ”
"Okay, Brother Luo Miao. ”
The sound of summer insects chirping kept sounding, accompanied by the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves, Luo Miao led Yu Qi towards the place where there was condensing grass in his memory.
"In this kind of wild woods, the blue smoke plant is very helpful for our stealth work, although there is also a certain counter-danger to it, but in general the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. The IQ of the low-level desolate demon is very low, and even if it smells the breath of blue smoke in its nose, it will not think about coming in this direction to check. In this way, it is equivalent to sealing the powerful sense of smell of the desolate demon, and the obstruction of vegetation swimming in the woods blocks the sight of the desolate demon, as long as the sound we make does not reach the level that can attract the attention of the desolate demon, we can basically pass safely. Luo Miao was pulling some vegetation blocking his path in front of him, and explained to Qi.
"Brother Luo Miao, you know a lot. Yu Qi, who followed behind, said that along the way, Luo Miao had told her a lot of knowledge about avoiding desolate demons, the traces of vegetation destruction, the terrain of the woods, and the growth areas of plant species, which she had never noticed before, was actually very knowledgeable.
"It's okay, it's all book knowledge, and you'll definitely have access to it in the future. ”
Is there a chance...... The divine light in Yu Qi's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, shook his head, and removed this somewhat frustrated mood, Yu Qi asked Luo Miao in front of him: "Brother Luo Miao, are you here on a mission? Are you the mage who came to clean up the desolate demons?"
"No, it's not, that's not what I'm referring to, uh...... How can I say it? This should be considered an experience, to survive alone in this forest for a month. Luo Miao said.
"Wow - it's too dangerous to survive alone for a month, isn't it?" Yu Qi exclaimed in surprise, surviving alone in this forest for a month was something she couldn't think of, it was too difficult.
"Hehe, it's okay, I'll be done in a few days. Luo Miao smiled, and he had a toothache when he thought of it.
"In a few days, Brother Luo Miao, haven't you been here alone for more than 20 days? Wow~ Brother Luo Miao, you are so amazing. Yu Qi let out an exclamation again, and even his eyes flashed with a sense of admiration.
Surviving alone in the wild for a month, this kind of thing she has never heard of before, when surviving in the wild, it is not only the strength of a mage, but also the assessment of knowledge and experience, is this Luo Miao's brother, who doesn't seem to be much older than her, not just a low-level mage?
Thinking about it like this, the admiration in her eyes kept coming out.
Looking at Yu Qi's gaze, I have to say that Luo Miao enjoyed this feeling a little, but at the same time, he didn't forget to encourage this girl.
"You'll be able to do it one day, eh...... Your age should be about one or two years away from the minimum standard for awakening magic, and if you wait for a period of time, you can do it. Looking at Yu Qi, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, Luo Miao said in an encouraging tone.
"Ah...... This one...... Actually, it's impossible. Hearing Luo Miao's words, the divine light in Yu Qi's eyes flickered for a moment, then dimmed, and his tone of voice became a little low.
"Ah, why do you say that?" Luo Miao was puzzled.
"Because... Because Yu Qi is a descendant of a guilty mage. Yu Qi lowered her eyes and said in a small voice, this is a matter for her that she will never be able to raise her head in other peers, if she can, she would rather not let Luo Miao know that she is the descendant of the offending mage.
Yu Qi's voice was very small this time, and if it weren't for Luo Miao's good enough hearing, he really couldn't hear clearly.
"What is that?" Luo Miao asked suspiciously, frowning and carefully searching the knowledge in his memory, Luo Miao did not find any explanation for this word.
Hearing Luo Miao's question, Yu Qi was a little hesitant this time, and Luo Miao couldn't help asking, "Is there anything bad to say?" ”
Yu Qi shook her head slowly, "No, since Brother Luo Miao wants to know, then Yu Qi will say it."
Once there is a transgression mage in a certain family, then his own descendants are implicated in ten generations, and in these ten generations, they are not allowed to set foot in the city, they are not allowed to practice magic, they are not qualified to read books, they can only live in the area that was divided at the beginning, and they can only get rid of this punishment until the end of the life of the tenth generation. ”
"Ten people will not be able to set foot in the city for the rest of their lives?! This kind of punishment is too severe, isn't it?! Isn't it very likely that you who can't live in the city will encounter a desolate demon? And you can't practice magic, what kind of life are you living? This is simply harsh to the point of unreasonableness......" Luo Miao was shocked, he didn't expect that there was such a severe punishment in the world, sin and ten generations, what kind of concept is this? This means that this punishment will implicate ten generations of descendants of the mage who committed the mistake!
For these ten generations, they are not allowed to live in protected cities, practice magic, or read books until the end of their tenth generation.
Sin is not as good as offspring, this is a concept that Luo Miao understands in books, but this punishment seems to be against this concept, not only the descendants of the guilty mage involved, but also a full ten generations!
And one of the most incomprehensible aspects is that the people of the Ten Worlds can't practice magic and can't base themselves in the city, which may mean that they may have the danger of encountering desolate demons every day, Luo Miao can't imagine how a group of ordinary people who are not mages can survive in this environment.
Severe punishment, Luo Miao never thought that a punishment could last for ten generations.
Hearing Luo Miao's unreasonable tone, Yu Qi hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, no, it's not as dangerous as Luo Miao's brother said, although we can only live in one village, but there will be some mages who stop to ensure our safety, otherwise our village will not exist." ”
"Even so...... Luo Miao wanted to say something, but thinking back to what he had read in the book, he felt that he should not continue to ask questions in this regard. He stopped some of his words and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to make your mood worse, I shouldn't have mentioned it." ”
"It's okay, Yu Qi looked away. Shaking her head, Yu Qi signaled that she didn't mind.
The two of them walked in a muffled voice for a while, Luo Miao couldn't help a question in her heart, and asked cautiously: "Yu Qi, although it sounds like you may be a little mustard, but I want to ask, what generation are you?"
“...... Eleven generations. ”
Eleven generations? Isn't that ......? Luo Miao glanced back at Yu Qi who was following him, and suddenly recalled in his mind what she said that he needed money, and he thought of many things in an instant, although he had a little doubt, but he still didn't break it in the end.
After a considerable distance, after a period of time, Yu Qi's originally low mood slowly recovered, and the conversation between the two returned to the previous state.
The sound of flowing water sounded in their ears, and the scenery in front of them suddenly opened up after passing through a piece of green vegetation, and a gurgling and flowing river appeared in front of the two, the width of this small river was not large, about five meters, the water quality was clear, the water depth was not deep, and occasionally one or two small fish swam by.
"Oh! I finally saw a river. Luo Miao plunged into this small river in a standard posture of entering the water, he was a little slightly clean, he had long been fed up with the slimy feeling on his body, and he was finally able to wash his body.
After swimming in it for a while before coming ashore, Luo Miao tried his best to dry his clothes, although they were still a little wet when he put them on, but they should dry quickly in this summer, and with his mage's physique, he would not catch a cold because of this.
Yu Qi looked at the scene of Luo Miao coming out of the water with a little blankness, with fair skin, soft facial lines, and a somewhat slender body......
She was a little puzzled, and asked curiously, "Brother Luo Miao, are you a sister?"
The expression on Luo Miao's face froze suddenly, and he said with a little crying and laughing: "Yu Qi, you can see clearly, I have an Adam's apple, no breasts, I am a man, understand?"
