Chapter 399

"Speaking of the Ancestral Mage," the old woman smiled, her gaze fell on the back of the curtain, and she listened intently, and stretched out her hand to make a gesture in one direction. The sound of the flute has changed a little, and Luo Qi can't hear anything too deep, but he feels that the length of Xiao behind the curtain has changed somewhat. He seemed to remember that when his grandfather was chatting with other old mages, he once said that Xiao was divided into South Xiao and North Xiao, and he didn't know if Mr. Shi felt that Xiao was not in harmony today, so he changed it temporarily. In such a place, her state of mind is really tranquil enough. But if it's really as still, why climb to the high ground?

"Grandma, can I ask how you knew immediately that the Ancestral Mage had appeared?" Roach asked cautiously, "I'm sure there must be someone in the Highlands who is willing to sell you news." But the Ancestral Mage? I'm sure not many people know. If someone sees this from a distance, then he can probably run for the next Qionglin boss with this ability, or be a big demon king or something. ”

The old woman looked at him incomprehensibly, and Du Zhengyi said beside him, "I told you, he is just a little mushroom and doesn't understand anything." His best future is to go back to study, and the better future is not to even study, and immediately drop out of school and go back to open a pet store. Knowledge changes fate, he doesn't need to change his life, so he doesn't need knowledge either. ”

Roach gave him an unhappy look, "I asked another stupid question?" You're getting more and more cynical, you know? ”

Du Zhengyi ignored him.

"Okay, eldest grandson." The old woman said that her temper was much better than that of Du Zhengyi, and she was very patient with children. "The mages are pragmatists and pay little attention to theoretical education, and your knowledge has limitations, which is a problem with the education system, not your fault. I'll try to be as concise as possible. Do you know the source of our magic? ”

Roach blinked.

"You see, he's like a smart white man." Du Zhengyi suddenly couldn't help but say, and reached out to give Luo Qi a slap. "Didn't we tell you about it when you refused to eat the beans?"

"Wait, wait, I see, I remember." Roach hurriedly said, "Power can be summoned by us, but power doesn't come from us, right?" ”

"That's what it means, and if you understand that, it's easy to explain." The old woman said.

Roach let out a long sigh and muttered a little sarcastically, "Poetic." ”

"We often say that the mage is in decline." The old woman spoke slowly, attracting Roach's attention, "It's not just that the nascent mage's own strength is weakened and lacks the ontological power to summon power, but it's also because the source of the entire magic is not eternal and infinite. As we decay, magic is moving away from us. ”

"Kind of pathetic?" Rocky asked.

"Dinosaurs are long gone, and humans will have an end sooner or later, and there is nothing wrong with accepting death with dignity." The old woman said, her eyes looking at Lodge gently.

Roach thought that her words were not just superficial, but also implied her own choice, and it was decent to end at the right time. But Luo Qi glanced at Du Zhengyi sharply.

The old woman laughed, as if she could see his mind without breaking through the barriers of the Mind Master. "The mind is sharp, clinging to every point, but not moving."

"Grandma still reads Tagore?" Roach asked in surprise.

"In retrospect, the young man was charming." The old woman said with a smile.

"Oh." Roach let out a sigh of relief, remembering that when the poet was young, the old mage was an old man by human standards.

"Human beings are like that, they come and go in our lives, and some souls are so interesting, but they are like fireworks," the old woman said in a low voice, and the end of her words disappeared into a sigh. For a moment, Roach felt as if she had been trapped in her own mental world, reliving the old days under the interface of memory. Mages have better memories than humans, so sometimes they live longer, and the more trivial details that have passed away torment them will be.

"I'm pulling away from the child, I'm really old." The old woman smiled brightly again, "Let's get back to the lecture and continue to talk about why I knew that the Ancestral Master had appeared. Some spells can only be invoked by Ancestor Mage-level characters, and once they appear, they will inevitably consume a lot of energy. As long as the magic network is monitored, once it is found that a certain grid has consumed a large amount of magic energy, it can be located. ”

Roach understood, but it was possible that he was the one who consumed the magic, and that he caused the landslide. However, he used the tools of the Ancestral Mage in the world of consciousness, and in a way, it was indeed a reproduction of the Ancestral Mage-level magic. He thought a little deeper, and glanced at Du Zhengyi, his face was okay, not like an over-energy-consuming look. Du Zhengyi's way of defeating the Ancestor Mage must be mainly based on outwitting, Du Zhengyi is very good at fighting in four or two thousand pounds, and he is completely a master of strategy.

So, the matter is still exposed to him.

He stammered, "So Qionglin must be monitoring too, right?" ”

"All powerful organizations monitor the magic network, and even humans may detect certain magnetic anomalies." The old woman said, "But there are not many organizations that say they have strength and strength these days. Wushan may see the results, but most of them are not interested. As for the Highland Mages, they have not been interested in anything for centuries. The Lotus Burners may know, but they don't have the ability to monitor the magic network, so I'm afraid they can only rely on the means of spies indirectly. ”

"It's over." Roach muttered, "It's just something else, this matter will make Jonlin investigate me to death." ”

"Aren't you an innocent child?" Du Zhengyi suddenly said, "What's the terrible investigation?" ”

"A weird old man." Rocky replied.

"Owed, huh?" Du Zhengyi said.

The old woman looked at Du Zhengyi with a smile, "I guess that since you are sitting here now, it means that you are not acting in full accordance with Qionglin's process." ”

Du Zhengyi sat unmoved, and said mechanically, "That's right, I should report to Qionglin first, wait for Qionglin to deal with it, and go through Qionglin's process." ”

Luo Qi's expression became a little complicated, and he looked at Du Zhengyi with concern.

"See what I'm doing? I don't care. Du Zhengyi frowned slightly, "Any punishment is useless to me, and no one can do anything to me." ”

"But I'm afraid there's a limit to their trust in you. Even if it's your teacher, if you do it once, you will lose a point of credit. The old woman said frankly.

Du Zheng looked at her for a while, and then said slowly, "I'm afraid I don't have that much choice." ”

The old woman's gaze fell on Roach's, as if reassessing him. Suddenly, her expression became a little hesitant, "In what form did this Ancestor Mage appear?" ”

Luo Qi's brows furrowed, "Grandma, even if the monitoring data is on the table, even if the facts are in front of you, it is a little difficult to believe that the Ancestor Mage will appear." Why did you immediately think of such an unbelievable situation? ”

Du Zhengyi glanced at him approvingly. 11
