Chapter Twenty-Five: Roach's Cooperation

CHAPTER XXV

Liu Li looked at him in shock and annoyance, and disbelief caused her silence. ^^But this silence is like a dark cloud before a storm, which is about to burst out sooner or later.

Roach slowly folded the few pages of notebook paper in his hand, loopholes in the system have never been a problem in the wizarding world, and the authority of Jonlin assured that the mage would act cautiously. Everything has always been balanced, and vague rules have their own value, which can increase His Holiness's authority. Contradictory rules leave the power of interpretation to the most powerful of the Being, and always have been, unless the balance of power changes.

He thought about it for a long time, knowing that he didn't know enough to see everything about mage society, but as long as he was a little familiar with the sociological knowledge of human beings, there were still traces of these questions. Just compare the primitive societies of mankind. Humans have also served in the general army, sent their incapacitated people into the mountains, and even worshipped the great chiefs of their tribes to the fullest. The chieftain's name can be the Yellow Emperor of China, Arthur, the Eternal King, or Pei Shu. Some things, no matter how many layers of noble things are wrapped, the essence is still the same. Every mage is like a primitive human, with invisible shackles on his head, even if they could have come and gone like the wind.

Roach folded the notes and tucked them into his pocket. These pages of notes are not even as good as butt wiping paper, everything he has in his head does not need to be written, and the only use of clumsily fiddling with notes in front of the old guys is to disgust them. He doesn't have such a deep affection for mages, and their knees and idolatry have nothing to do with him, but if he finds a loophole here and doesn't get through it, it doesn't fit his character.

He could clearly see that the faces of the oldest mages had become very unpredictable, including those who had had interests in his family and were willing to repay his father. He knew that he had stepped into the forbidden area of the mage world. He knew that he was too eager to do this now, and he should have been in business for more than 20 years, even if he was a high-efficiency baby, he should choose to make trouble at the age of forty at the earliest. But he didn't have time, either he jumped on the speeding train, or he watched the train go away and he was crushed to pieces. ,

He watched everyone carefully, monitoring the changes in the minds of the entire venue, and things went more smoothly than he expected. Yesterday's biggest fear was not what direction things were going to go, what he feared was that he would be afraid that he would become a sobbing child at the glares of these senior and powerful mages. But when he was here this morning, he found that he was not afraid, he looked at them, and the projection of their hearts could not be concealed before him. He could see their nervousness, their fears, their resentment, their jealousy, that they were just the most ordinary human beings, as ordinary as humans who took the bus home thousands of miles away.

He observed the fluctuations of everyone's thoughts, leaving a large part of his mental construction to prepare for accepting Du Zhengyi's reaction. Du Zhengyi would probably jump up in a rage, tell him that he had done everything wrong, and tear up all the kindness he had given him so far.

Liu Li had an emotional outburst just now, but among all the people present, it was not her who turned her mind the fastest. Just as Liu Li was yelling at him, he found the right measurement point. He gave up Zhou Quan, who had always been quick and alive but had the lightest weight, and also crossed Sanchun, who was probably the smartest and therefore the most brained of all, and his eyes fell on Wusu.

He was a little surprised, he had been in the spiritual vision for so long that he had sometimes forgotten to leave the accident in the world. Now that he looked closely at Usu, he realized that he was a male mage who looked quite young, and that he was very attractive, and that he himself had taken considerable care to maintain his charm. Du Zhengyi is also attractive, but Du Zhengyi is a stone and will not respond to anyone. Usu is very interesting, his every move seems to be carefully choreographed, his shoulders will be tilted just right, his smile is so enthusiastic that his face is just right to liven up, and if he wants to look at others, he will definitely make people look at his face from his best angle. Luo Qi wanted to scold him for being a fake old man, but he couldn't, and Wusu's was just right, so that he could only think of the four words pleasing to the eye. No one cares about his age, his gender, the only thought they will have is to praise him as a living work of art.

It couldn't have been psychically induced, and Roach was sure that he did it entirely on his own. However, this is not to say that Usu is not a mind mage. What surprised Rock the most was that he felt that Wusu's spirit was more active than the others, expanding into a higher realm. When Du Zhengyi teleported, his mental activity would also exceed that of ordinary divisions, but Wusu's active characteristics Luo Qi was more familiar, which was the domain of the Mind Mage.

Roach froze, trying to quickly tell if Usu was another hidden mind mage. He didn't know how the Mind Society would use to detect the Mind Mage, and Rocky himself was monitoring the activity and active areas of the whole brain, so that he would not have direct contact with the subject, and would not cause backlash and attack. He was probably able to stand tall enough to see clearly, and the average mind mage might not be able to see a person's entire brain as clearly as he did. However, Usu's telepathic abilities are by no means negligible. Roach returned to the spiritual realm, catching a glimpse of something completely unfamiliar in Usu's mind. He couldn't tell, maybe it was his way of hiding his mental magical abilities.

"Roach!" Du Zhengyi really roared.

Luo Qi seemed to be dragged back by the collar, he shrunk his shoulders and looked down at Du Zhengyi next to him. Du Zhengyi was still sitting quietly at the table, and his posture had not changed. He came back to his senses and remembered that Du Zhengyi didn't call him with his voice just now.

He raised his head, just in time for the end of Liu Li's angry roar at him, "Have you ever thought that the consequence of your doing this is a complete leak, and the bounty mages all over the world will dig around, if a sealing beast falls into their hands, have you thought about the outcome?" ”

He opened his mouth and suddenly found that Liu Xiuyun had looked at him deeply. He closed his mouth, feeling a hint of relief in his heart. He knew that the agreement between him and Liu Xiuyun was finally reached at this moment. Threaten, of course, Roach should threaten everyone, which is in line with everyone's impression of him. He would rather be afraid of him, and that would be good for what he was going to do. But an upright person like Liu Xiuyun can't drive him completely by coercion, as long as he says to move him, he will drive himself.

"Venerable Mage." Liu Xiuyun opened his mouth and said, "Even if Luo Qi doesn't appeal, such a big matter can't be concealed on a large scale in Qionglin." I think it would be better to put this matter out in a dignified manner, so that it is convenient for all our forces to cooperate in handling it and optimize the allocation of resources. According to Roach, mobilizing such a monster to eradicate dissidents already represents the failure of Jonlin's previous measures. ”

"Master Liu, you can't hide it in Qionglin, it's still different from the whole world knowing that there is such an artifact." Liu Li said solemnly, "Of course, I know that no secret can be hidden forever, but we must postpone the arrival of this point in time. I'll be honest, at least until we have time to destroy all the Sealed Beasts. ”

"Roach hastened the arrival of this point in time." Liu Xiuyun thought about it and said, his face became even more grim. "No, strictly speaking, I don't think it was Roach who hastened the arrival of this point in time."

"What do you mean?" Liu Li calmed down some of his anger, they were serious people with each other, and there was still basic trust at this time.

"Now that I think about it, isn't Rocky himself a secret? A hidden mind mage, if he can't be promoted to the fourth grade this year, he will leave the mage society and go to live in the human world on the other side. In that case, maybe Roach's life is a secret, or maybe the secret is destined to be hidden, and then the secret called Roach will still be revealed later, but not now. Liu Xiuyun said. Someone hastened the revelation of the secret, and that person was not Roach. ”

Liu Li's face turned blue and spit out the name, "Lotus Burner." ”

"I think so." Liu Xiuyun said, "The Lotus Burners who have infiltrated Qionglin should already know about the existence of these monsters. What else they want to do is a question that we have to face. ”

Roach breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in his seat. The contract without magic is already running, and he won't be alone. 11
