Chapter 60: Meeting (3)
Probably ran into a madman.
Wen Lin looked at the young man across the round table...... Boy? No, it seems to be a man. He's a little too short, maybe a meter seventy-two? It is definitely less than 1.74 meters, which is not a few centimeters taller than Liu Ziyu. Wen Lin's height is 1.76 meters, and the height of male mages is generally above 1.8 meters, although few people will exceed 1.94 meters, and a height like Luo Qi is very rare. If the mages gathered, Rocky would be too conspicuous. Even his skeleton was much smaller than that of an adult male mage, and he still looked like a teenager.
If you look at him closely, you will see that he has more juvenile characteristics. The eyes are clear, the hair is soft, the skin is soft, and the knuckles are small and soft on the table. Under the thick black coat was a gray-green turtleneck, which made his face even fairer and cleaner, and the sleeves of the jacket seemed to be a little long, covering his wrists. The mage usually doesn't wear such warm clothes, he looks like a good baby under the careful care of Mommy, and the family doesn't worry about him going out alone. However, it was not even that he was going out alone, he was accompanied by an old mage, and two little girls who seemed to be very happy to love him. He must have enjoyed being coquettish with the little girl, and she guessed that as long as he pouted aggrievedly, the two little girls would share at least half of his snacks.
Wen Lin took a puff of his cigarette, but, no, he was definitely not crazy.
There was no fanaticism in his eyes, no neurotic demonstrations, his eyes were clear and pure, but no one could light them up. He told jokes himself, witty like beads. But if it's someone else's joke, then no one can let his smile reach the bottom of his eyes. So, he's not a boy anymore, not anymore. Well, she only talks to men, not boys. No mortal can see through a master of mind, but she will do her best.
She thought back to the information she had gotten sporadically, this person, Roach, had made Jonlin change his opinion of him in just a few days. Although they all knew that Jonlin would definitely tolerate gifted mages, the process was often difficult enough to completely reshape the person. She had also heard that he was becoming more and more influential among Qionglin's core mages. If this is the case, his value and weight have already surpassed Du Zhengyi, then she is also happy to deal with him.
Since Luo Qi is not crazy, then he just wants to reveal the secrets hidden by Jonlin from different channels. The strange mage next to him, with a strong Wushan tone on his body, she tasted it. Wushan must also be paying attention to Qionglin's brand-new century mage, and what happened here will soon spread to Wushan. Wen Lin's thoughts turned, and it was the same as the way Luo Qi blackmailed Chi Yu on the streets of mankind, what he wanted was for everyone to know the secret, and the more people knew, the safer he would be, this was his way of protecting himself.
She didn't mind that even more.
"Kongsang Mountain is a very large mountain range, not as big as the entire Qilian Mountains, but there are also several high mountains and wide valleys." Wen Lin lit a second cigarette, sandwiched it between her slender fingers, and spit out the fog at the round table, without touching the milk tea in front of her. "Shi Qian and I took Qianzhou as a starting point and walked through many villages. There weren't many people in most of the villages, so at first there was nothing, but gradually we started to feel uncomfortable. At first it wasn't easy to put into words, but we had encountered humans in several villages who were similarly uncomfortable. They are actually relatively easy to identify, either they have a real mental problem, or they look like they have depression. Most of these humans are plagued by nightmares all year round. I told you about one of the most typical dreams, a teacher dreamed that he was going deep underground, and his ears were full of unintelligible whispers, and countless evil beasts were hidden in the amber boulders. ”
Luo Qi nodded, that was what she said the last time they spoke to Wen Lin, and at that time she also hoped that he could go to the Kongsang Mountain to check it out in person, but Du Zhengyi completely and completely refused. But fate is probably like this, he is now sitting in the county town of Qianzhou.
Liu Ziyu was attracted by Wen Lin's words, Guan Xinyue didn't hear anything unusual, after all, she only had a general impression of magic, and she couldn't tell which scenes were unusual. Usu listened thoughtfully, but didn't say anything. Wen Lin looked at them for a while, not paying much attention to their reactions, and turned her attention back to Roach, "When we saw this person again a month later, his dream changed. ”
"Did he go further underground?" Rocky asked.
"No, he started dreaming of bloody killings." Wen Lin said, shaking the cigarette ash on a napkin.
"Did he dream that he was killed?" Rocky asked.
"Nope." Wen Lin took a puff of cigarette and raised her eyebrows to look at Luo Qi, "He's the monster that kills." ”
Luo Qi thought about it and said casually, "This perspective is not bad. ”
"Poor man, I think he's going crazy." Wen Lin said, she raised her head and tossed her long, fluffy hair onto her left shoulder. "We're in a bad situation too, as I said, at first we just felt uncomfortable, weird, and scared. Battlemages are strong-willed and don't feel like ghosts lurking in the shadows for no reason. ”
Luo Qi remembered what Han Yi said, he was also a battle mage, and his description of fear was very abstract and perfunctory. Luo Qi instinctively didn't believe what he said at the time, and now Wen Lin also started this way, but it seemed that there was something to follow. "You're not dreaming."
"Nope." Wen Lin shook her head, her face tense. "I noticed that people were right around us, following us like shadows. In order to investigate, we went from village to village, and sometimes we lived in the village. When we returned to our accommodation, our personal belongings were often turned over, and even at night near my neck touched the crystals I carried with me. ”
She pulled a chain from her neckline, and a pendant inlaid with rubies was attached underneath, and Luo Qi felt a slight fluctuation in energy, probably connected to Wen Lin's emotions. Touching her crystal at such a close distance was like caressing her neck with a blade.
Wen Lin tucked the necklace back into her clothes, "But when I opened my eyes, there was nothing." She looked at Roach and suddenly smiled, her eyes meaningful, "I wonder if Elvis Presley can understand the fear of a battle mage when he opens his eyes only to find that there is nothing." ”
"Are you sure there is?" Rocky asked calmly.
"One day we were camping in the wilderness, and I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a white figure beside the grass near the camp, and a man watching us. Before I could react, he vanished, disappearing into the night, leaving no trace of teleportation magic around him. Wen Lin said.
Roach turned to Shi Qian, "Did you see him too?" ”
Shi Qian hesitated for a while, as if he didn't want to speak, but finally he raised his head and said, "A pair of big round eyes, with heavy eye bags, and a large proportion of black eyeballs, but the eyes are blank. He had a beard, a slightly puffy face, was unenergetic, and somewhat hunchbacked, like a rude pig killer in a human being. He is 1.9 meters tall, which is considered very tall, but he speaks softly. ”
"You see so clearly in the dark? Did he talk to you? Roach asked, surprised.
Shi Qian's face was very ugly, as if he was having a stomachache, "Because we saw him again later." I accompanied Wen Lin to visit the teacher, who was also investigating, and he invited us to meet children from a remote village. The village was called Hongquangou, and when we met him there, he was killing people at the child's house. The most brutal way to kill, spatial directional distortion, we don't usually fight in that way, he killed an ordinary mage by such means. The mage...... Too young to understand anything...... I still can't forget the look on his face as he died. ”
"You're too sentimental." Wen Lin cut off his words and said impatiently. "If you want to kill someone, aren't they all the same?"
Shi Qian looked up at the ceiling and took a deep breath, "It's like having your lungs removed, but your brain will live for a while, and no one deserves to die like this." ”
"Okay, Du Zhengyi himself is the best battle mage at this, and he is also the benchmark of battle mages." Wen Lin said disagreeably.
"Hongquangou." Roach muttered, "Did you fight him?" ”
"We fled." Wen Lin said, "When he used magic, the magnitude was too high, far above us. ”
"How about comparing Du Zhengyi with him?" Rocky asked.
Wen Lin and Shi Qian glanced at each other, and Wen Lin said, "I believe that they are mages of the same magnitude, and their talents are also combat. ”
But Shi Qian added, "He's a pervert, he's not a battle mage at all, he's a pervert who likes to torture and kill." I don't know who he serves, but if it weren't for the Lotus Burner, I can't think of anyone else who would want to be with him. ”
Luo Qi was silent, that is, if Du Zhengyi encountered him, he would not be able to retreat at all, he would either be killed by him, or he would die because killing him consumed too much energy. In the final analysis, Du Zhengyi can't fight against people of the same level at all now.
Wen Lin said in annoyance, "The crux of the question is why he was able to become invisible? Don't say that my feelings are all delusions, he probably didn't harass you because you are so much worse than me that it's not worth mentioning at all. ”
Shi Qian's expression was like a heavy blow, and he glanced at Wen Lin painfully, and for a moment Luo Qi thought that he was going to rush out of the door, but he still hid his male dignity and sat on the needle felt to accompany her. He didn't have to wade through troubled waters with her, but Roach understood that he liked her.
Roach turned to the most respected Usu here, "Has there ever been a mage who has been able to be invisible?" ”
"Seventy thousand years ago, maybe." Usu said.
Wen Lin said, "Let's put it this way, a killer of this level can also be invisible, and any of us will die at any time." ”
Shi Qian whispered, "So now is the time for us to quit." ”
Roach had the feeling that they had argued about conversations like this countless times. He looked at the time on his phone, there were still four hours and forty-five minutes.
