Chapter 420 No Wind and Waves 3
"Roach?" Someone from behind the desk at the end of the room looked up and saw him, and then raised his voice and called out to him in the voice of a resolute and majestic grandmother, "Roach, come here, I'm looking for you!" ”
Luo Qi was stunned for a moment, as if wheels were installed under his feet, and automatically walked towards Liu Li, who was sitting in the innermost part of the open office.
Mahjong also glanced in, and when he caught a glimpse of Liu Li's serious face, he immediately closed his mouth. His arms crossed in front of his chest, leaning against the wall in the doorway, watched from afar as Roach went over to talk to Liu Li.
"Teacher Liu." As soon as Luo Qi walked into the division, he chose a title that best brought her closer and called her earnestly.
Before he could finish his next sentence, the female mage behind his desk waved his hand, and a strange feeling enveloped Roach, like falling into a giant bubble, or being covered with noise-canceling headphones, and the original cacophony of the office was instantly filtered out. Liu Li closed the door to her makeshift personal office, and they entered the occasion for private conversation.
With Liu Li's gesture, a stack of stapled papers flew towards him, and Luo Qi hurriedly caught it. He couldn't wait to open it, as if he could pull out the flattened Du Zhengyi from it. Who knew what was written on the paper made him stunned for a moment, he didn't know how to read, but the words on the paper were like noise in life that made him completely unable to concentrate.
"What is this?" He didn't even notice that he was shouting in a childish voice as if accusatory.
"What, what is this?" Liu Lishi's face flashed with disbelief for a moment, and she said angrily, "This is the list of books you must read, as well as the teaching notes for our school's Mind course. ”
Roach resisted the thought of eating the stack of papers, his temper as grand as the entire mountains of the Himalayas was on the verge of flare-up, but now was not the time to lose his temper. He swallowed, adjusting the yelling he was about to exit to a normal person's whispering voice, if he wanted to compete with Lei Gongdian Liu Lishi, he might not be able to win. "Teacher Liu, I have a mentor. I"
Liu Lishi interrupted him impatiently again, "I know, student Luo Qi, of course Pei Shu told me. But we've always been at odds with the Highland Mage's educational philosophy. If you really want to cultivate immortals and become Buddhas on the snowy mountains, Luo Qi, then I won't stop you. But I surmise from the pockets you have with cats and treats, you don't seem to be a monk! ”
"Oh." Luo Qi said softly, his temper as if blown away by a strong wind called Liu Li. He is much more honest, but he is a little aggrieved.
"So," Liu Li said sternly, "follow those monks to learn the ability to control your mind, and then read all the books I gave you, each of which needs to have study notes." You didn't finish reading the material I gave you just now, and the last page is the title of the essay assignment, and the assignment is marked with the completion time. In view of the big disturbance you just made a few days ago, and for the sake of your own safety, it is appropriate for you to live in seclusion here for the time being, and it is not appropriate for you to return to school immediately. But we don't want to delay your learning, especially now that your abilities are growing every day. ”
"But I'm not under investigation, am I?" Roach asked in surprise.
"Your investigation is over." Liu Li said neatly.
"Huh?" Roach's mouth opened wide in surprise.
Liu Li's face became vigilant, "What do you mean?" Do you still have any material to explain? ”
"No, no, no." Roach hurriedly said, "But I thought"
Why, he didn't say. He thought that it would not be so easy, and Qionglin would not let go of such a big security hazard for him.
"These are extraordinary times, and Qionglin needs more fresh blood and needs to strengthen himself. The Lotus Burner has been proven to exist, and its power is greater than expected. Liu Li sighed and said, "I think you already know that they have infiltrated Qionglin, and we don't know which famous teachers can be trusted." Your presence is a great treasure for us at times like these. ”
My presence? Roach couldn't help but repeat in his mind, as if I didn't exist in the previous years.
He couldn't restrain this rebellion in his heart, and if he didn't have the ability he had now, he wouldn't even be a "presence" in the wizarding world. Heh, although he knew that Liu Li's words were very decent and not wrong in essence, he was always a little uncomfortable.
Liu Li looked into his eyes, he didn't know if she had captured anything. She continued, "But you can be trusted. Personally, I don't want to explore why your abilities were unlocked so late, and most of the other mages don't care about that, we're a pragmatic race. On the positive side, your situation is on the positive side, when you lack magical abilities, you have been harmed by the Lotus Burner, you are of your own kind, so you are the least likely to lean towards the Lotus Burner in your mind. Both Du Zhengyi and Mahjong have tried their best to prove this to us, and I think they are right. ”
She paused and said, "Qionglin has never encountered such a powerful and stealthy opponent as the current Lotus Burner, Qionglin may not be perfect in your eyes, but it is better for Qionglin to lead the land with the largest number of mages in this world than the Lotus Burner." Their most likely course of action, first of all, is to reduce the number of human beings, which is outrageous and inferior. So, Roach, we need a strong and determined mage like you to be on our side. ”
Roach's heart beat a little faster, and he was slightly ashamed. He didn't think much about it, no matter how much he didn't want to admit it emotionally, and no matter how ruthless Liu Li's words were, he knew that she didn't say a wrong word this time.
Roach had always been conflicted, he certainly hated the Lotus Burners, and what they had done to him, their disgusting claims, made him unbearable. And that person, that king egg, no matter what he named himself Clownfish or what, and no matter what purpose he helped the two of them, Luo Qi still couldn't forget that he was the one who directly seriously injured Du Zhengyi. They were all the Lotus Burners, the stinky maggots in the dung fields.
But he didn't like Qionglin either, he didn't like it, he didn't trust it, he was full of disgust. He rebelled and wanted to open a pet store to live, and he also knew clearly that Du Zhengyi had never really asked him to take any responsibility, and he also hoped that he would better open a pet shop. But such thoughts will also make him feel ashamed, just like he had the ability to pull the person who fell into the water, but he was busy queuing up to buy Hey Tea at this time.
On top of all this, Rocky has always had two ways of overcoming his moral dilemma. First, he was busy running for his life and taking care of himself, so he didn't have the energy to be a hero of the world. Second, he believes that no one will really put the interests of outsiders above those in their personal vision. In other words, he always cares more about his friends, and he wants his friends to live and enjoy as much life as they deserve and the most basic happiness they deserve.
But what can he say now, he can't tell the truth. The official attitude of all mages must be the same, except to support Qionglin, and to fulfill their obligations according to their abilities, mages have no other choice.
He nodded to Liu Li, but that's all, let him say something against his will to promise that he will be inseparable from Qionglin and the Lotus Burner, or he will be loyal to Qionglin, he can't do it.
Liu Li talked to him for a while, but fortunately, she was a sharp-tongued but simple and clear person, and she would stop when she felt that she had almost finished speaking. Roach was glad to feel that she was okay with herself, and that most of her emphasis was on studying, reminding him that his big assignments had to be sent back to the school's professor of Mindfulness by the public hub on time.
Roach finally waited for an opportunity that he felt was the right to interject. "Okay, teacher. So where did Du Zhengyi go? I haven't seen him since last night. ”
When Roach asked, he realized that this was actually the only thing he really cared about.
"Du Zhengyi?" Liu Li asked suspiciously, as if he thought he had misheard.
Roach looked at her in bewilderment, wondering why she had the same reaction. Isn't he asking the right question? Of course he would ask.
"Du Zhengyi went to do his own thing." Liu Li replied, as if she felt that Luo Qi was asking more.
Roach didn't understand, he suddenly felt that he really didn't understand, it was the only thing he didn't understand today. "What did he do about himself?"
Liu Li stared at him solemnly for a while, as if he suddenly wanted to find out if he had resisted Qionglin's heart at this time.
Roach was overwhelmed, a little nervous, a little frightened.
"You're not intentionally trying to find out what a high-level battle mage and execution mage does, are you?" Liu Li asked solemnly.
"What?" Rocky asked, stunned, his thinking powers seemed to be buried in the thirty floors underground, and it took him a while to feel the ring of his thinking finally click shut. He understood, "You mean, Du Zhengyi was sent out again to carry out a mission to work?" ”
"Of course." Liu Li said in surprise, relaxing her facial expression at the same time, but Luo Qi still saw the shadow of a faint storm in her eyes. "Of course he went to work. The investigation is over, and no mentally sound mage will ignore Du Zhengyi's contributions to Qionglin over the years, and no one will really doubt him except for a few people with ulterior motives. Without an investigation, he didn't need to hide in the high ground, so why did he have to delay his time here. Now is an extraordinary time, Qionglin needs to mobilize all forces, and of course Du Zhengyi will be sent out. ”
"But he" Rocky clutched his cuffs tightly, "but he"
"I know his problem." Liu Li said arbitrarily, "The mission he was sent to was based on his experience, not his combat ability." Du Zhengyi is also a precious treasure of Qionglin, and no one wants to lose him on purpose. ”
But Luo Qi was still frightened, did they just send Du Zhengyi out?
His spiritual barrier is very strong, Liu Li has no ability to read his heart, but his current meaning is written on his face, and Liu Li understands it. "Wanting to work is Du Zhengyi's own idea, no one forced him, he understands what the situation is now. He's very mature, and I hope you can be a little bit more mature too. ”
Roach didn't speak, and he found himself unable to cope with his emotions right now. On the one hand, Du Zhengyi had nothing to do, no one punished him, no one harmed, and they all passed the test. On the other hand, he suddenly woke up and found that there was no longer Du Zhengyi by his side. He trembled, and suddenly understood something that was obvious but had been overlooked by him, he understood the power of Jonlin, the power of power. He is indeed a mind master that everyone fears, but whether he can see his friends, whether he can have the opportunity to look at his friends again, whether he can say a word to him again, these are all up to Qiong Lin.
His mind was a mess, he dealt with Liu Li haphazardly, said a few more words, and finally left Liu Li's desk in confusion, holding the stack of learning content he had to complete in his hand. Mahjong looked at him with concern at the door, and he heard Mahjong ask him what was wrong, so he told Mahjong briefly about it.
He heard Mahjong swear loudly, and then walked to the depths of the office with the pace of a doctor to argue with Liu Li. Luo Qi couldn't hear what they were saying, but judging from what he saw, the doctor must have fiercely resisted Liu Li and Qionglin's arrangement. In Luo Qi's current situation, it is best not to transfer Du Zhengyi away, or perhaps from the doctor's point of view, he also protested against the behavior of letting Du Zhengyi continue to serve.
But Roach vaguely knew that the outcome would not change much. The Qionglin in that ice and snow world is always cold and majestic, and everyone will shrink in front of it. It could cool his face and separate him from his friends. Maybe Du Zhengyi will die somewhere, and they don't even have a goodbye. 11
