Chapter 67: Meeting (8)

Roach came to his senses, a little top-heavy for a while, and wanted to throw up. He subconsciously reached out and touched it under his nose, but did not feel the familiar nosebleed. It seems that it is indeed better to use the methods that Usu taught him than to do it himself.

"How?" Usu drew on the PAD again, and asked him without looking up.

Wen Lin raised her eyes from the rearview mirror to observe him, saw him leaning against the car window, and asked, "Have altitude sickness?" ”

Roach didn't speak, he looked out the window at the red canyon, he didn't like the barren landscape like Mars, the canyon was like a scar on the earth, tearing apart the peaks covered with glaciers. The glacier is not very beautiful, you may think of Disney's Snow Queen, but the actual glacier looks like a burst of soot blowing down on your snow-topped coffee, which has nothing to do with purity and beauty, and it looks a little bad. Roach knows this because he watches human TV shows, and humans have traveled to almost every continent on the planet. One day, humans will travel all over the solar system, as well as in the deep space beyond the solar system.

"You don't like it here, do you?" Wen Lin looked at his expression and guessed.

Roach still didn't answer her question, he looked out the window quietly, as if the people in the car weren't real. Wen Lin looked at him a few more times and stopped talking. The stylus in Usu's hand swiped softly across the surface of the machine, and Shi Qian fell asleep, the two girls in the last row of seats emanating from their headphones. The cat purred and purred seductively caressing guttural sounds, and while he was asleep, his cat climbed into the back seat and threw herself into the arms of the girls.

After a long time, Wusu suddenly raised his head, and his gaze fell on Luo Qi's face, "Your thoughts are turning quickly. ”

"Maybe it's because I know everything." Roach said.

"Huh." There was a chuckle from the front seat that was not sarcastic, mixed with curiosity.

"I'm not tempting you." Usu explained. "I just sense you're thinking at high speed, do you do that often?"

"You don't know what I've seen." As if he didn't hear him, Roach whispered to the mountains outside the window, "Although it is chaotic and unrelated to each other, if I can't guess the answer with so much information in front of me, then my intelligence level is equivalent to an earthworm." ”

Usu stared at him, "You didn't dream about it in a dream, did you?" ”

Roach turned his gaze and looked at him quietly for a moment, "Dreams are never anything, I'm talking about my experience. ”

Usu pondered wordlessly for a moment, and finally he nodded.

Roach turned his head away, looking wearily out the window, "Do you see that black scar in the valley?" It's like a scar within a wound, a foul-smelling wound that can only be cut by a quenched machete. ”

"It's not like it's natural." Usu said.

"I think it's a gold digger of humanity." Roach replied.

"Like the gold diggers of the Yukon? Still now? ”

"The Yukon?" Roach said, "Master Usu is a good man, much more than most mages know. ”

Wu Su smiled slightly, "It's just because I've lived for a long time." Have you forgotten that I'm still a treasure hunter? ”

"Oh, yes." Roach said softly, and then went on to explain, "The altitude here is too high for human government organizations to supervise here, this place is a hundred kilometers away from the nearest village, or maybe less than one human per square kilometer on average. Only the most reckless humans come here, oh, not in the same way as a hundred years ago in North America, who use the latest human magic, use modern engineering equipment to dig up river valleys, and use machines to clean sediment. Although the gold content here is not high, it is a cheap business, and outlaws can earn a good payout. But by digging up river valleys like this, the devastated ecology may not be restored for decades. What's more, the glaciers are melting faster, changing the geological conditions here, and probably making the seals underground unstable. I was thinking that the place where they were digging was a little too close to the Sealed Land. ”

Usu understood that the focus of this lecture on human behavior analysis was on the last sentence. "You're worried that humans will inadvertently dig up the Sealed Land?"

"I'm just talking about it. No matter what form the seal takes, it is impossible for humans to break it easily. ”

Wen Lin looked at him from the rearview mirror, "Were you also a gloomy crow's mouth when you were with Du Zhengyi?" ”

Roach glanced in the mirror.

Wen Lin said again, "You seem to have changed a lot from the last time we met. ”

"I almost ate your head last time." Roach said calmly, "I didn't think I was healthy and cheerful at that time. ”

Shi Qian woke up, looked back at him in shock, and hurriedly turned back again.

Wen Lin laughed insolently, and Roach could see that this was her way of dealing with danger, which made her a little excited. She's an ambitious woman, and a little crazy, and a dangerous little man like Roach is quite satisfying to her egos.

Roach smiled, "Tell me about the folk tales you collected, what do those monsters look like?" ”

"All sorts of things." Wen Lin said happily, "To be honest, I don't believe most of what they say, the human mind is too fantasical. It's true that they've been affected in some way, but the result may have been processed by their brains themselves. Luo Qi, can we meet Du Zhengyi today? ”

"I don't know." Roach leaned against the window and said leisurely, "Do you want to see him?" ”

"Du Zhengyi is a legend of a battle mage, of course I hope to work with him and gain a long experience." Wen Lin said.

"Oh-" Roach raised his eyes, his face suddenly refreshed, and a smile flashed through his eyes. "Did you know he's interested in you, too?"

"Really?"

"He talks about you a lot." Rocky said, encouraging her. "But my brother, you look at him as arrogant, but he is not at all. He doesn't talk because he's actually very introverted, and he's especially embarrassed to talk to women. ”

"Wouldn't it? According to what you say, the god of war of Qionglin is actually a little pitiful? Wen Lin asked in surprise, the car was biased.

"yes." Roach bit the joint on his thumb, "It's really pitiful, he's always lonely inside." He didn't want to be a god, but he was revered as a god. ”

"That's ......," Wen Lin pondered.

Roach shook the messy hair on the top of his head, sat up straight in his chair, and was suddenly stunned, "Wait, the car is heading east." ”

"East?" Wen Lin glanced around, "There is no road in the east." ”
