Chapter Eighty-Four: Pei Shu's Opponent
The battle mages didn't use tents, but Roach felt that the magic barrier was much more useful than the tent, and the temperature and humidity were quite pleasant in the area of more than 200 square meters surrounded by magic. Several mages carefully adjusted these parameters, and added various precautions that Rocky could not say. The last feature was added by Wen Lin, who added a fragrance to the place when the sun's rays were completely gone. Probably considering that there are more men here, she used the fragrance of lemongrass, which is a relatively neutral choice.
When Luo Qi stared at her, she was chatting with Du Zhengyi. Judging from Du Zhengyi's expression, she may have found the right topic, and Du Zhengyi listened very seriously.
Luo Qi fed the cat a cat food bean, thought about it and ate one himself, and slowly approached Du Zhengyi and Wen Lin in a roundabout way. They found an empty folding chair not far from them and sat down, right next to the stone dive.
"Pacman?" Roach asked him.
Shi Qian looked at his cat and shook his head warily.
"Are you familiar with my dad?" Luo Qi asked suddenly, seeing Shi Qian's face become stunned, he smiled and said, "You know whose family I belong to, right?" Dr. Rorian is also Fan Ya's person, isn't he? ”
Shi Qian thought for a moment before cautiously speaking, "I know Luo Ruian, but I am not very familiar with it. Your father is not Fan Ya's person, the doctors are neutral, they are doctors, saving lives. It's just that a venerable person like Fan Ya will make many people involuntarily. ”
"My father was an Archmage of Mind first and then a doctor." Luo Qi said wistfully, "When he manipulated the humanoid Zerg monster to chase and kill Du Zhengyi, you and Wen Lin didn't see it, he didn't look like a doctor who saved lives." ”
"As a mind mage, there are many people who can't help themselves." Shi Qian said, "Fan Ya later learned that the failure was due to Luo Ruian, and he was very angry. But at that time, no one knew who the so-called big raccoon Elvis Presley was who Du Zhengyi was, and after Luo Ruian disappeared, we gradually figured out what was going on. ”
"You're a good person with compassion." Luo Qi blinked, "Fan Ya also fled after failing to kill Du Zhengyi and me, you weren't in the ancient town at the time, but you still saw him after that?" ”
The corners of Shi Qian's eyes twitched, his eyes staring at Luo Qi surged with emotion, and his face flushed, "What do you mean?" Did Fan Ya send us? Can't you see that Wen Lin is already eager to stick to Du Zhengyi's body? What did Fan Ya send us for? Do you use beauty to seduce Du Zhengyi? Did you find this helpful? ”
"Don't get excited." Roach said calmly, the melancholy and pity on his face swept away, and he leaned back his head comfortably in his chair. "Actually, I want the beauty plan to take effect, right? What kind of face do you have? Don't get me wrong, I hope that Du Zhengyi's beauty can really be effective for Wen Lin, so that she can climb Du Zhengyi's ladder to Pei Shu with all her heart, so that we can all be safer. ”
Shi Qian was stunned for a moment, and said with some disgust, "Are you always talking so dirty puns at a young age?" ”
"Yo, adolescent imps are always lustful, don't you remember when you were my age?" Luo Qi said leisurely, "Do you know that Fan Ya is wasting his efforts in vain? It is impossible for him to become the first at all, and it is impossible to bring down Pei Shu, he is courageous. Wen Lin was wise to give up on him, in fact, as long as he was not blind, he should know that there was no way out by following Fan Ya. ”
"We're just small people." Shi Qian said, "We don't know about Pei Shu and Fan Ya's level. ”
Luo Qi looked at him and said, "Indeed, Pei Shu is the top layer, Fan Ya is only the second layer, and you may be the third or fourth layer." What's interesting is that no one on each floor can know about the previous floor, but Pei Shu at the top of the tower knows everything. Others, such as some Mind Mages, have the opportunity to peek into the scattered secrets of the upper echelons. All the mind mages should not be underestimated, and no one knows what treasures they have dug up somewhere, and they know that there are very few shocking secrets. The more information you get, the more advantageous it is, but if there is too much information and a system is formed, it is not something that a mind mage can handle, and manpower is limited after all. ”
"No wonder the Mind Mage is always so annoying." Shi Qian said, he glanced at Luo Qi, and asked in a low voice, "But what are you talking about?" "I'm talking about the composition of our world." Luo Qi said, "Why do you say Pei Shu is so awesome? Didn't Fan Ya complain to you? I want to talk to the great rebellious Fan Ya, but isn't that right? I think it's also good to talk to the people around him. ”
"Why don't you tell Wen Lin, I think you like her too."
"Which eye did you see that I liked her? The woman you like, you think everyone in the world likes her? Why are your filters so heavy? Besides, we all know in our hearts that Wen Lin has no depth, no heart, and she won't think about anything else except for climbing up. Rocky said.
"I don't like to hear you say that about her."
"I didn't say it's not a charm! An ambitious woman is more brilliant than a bland woman, isn't she? "Besides, I'm just saying what you're thinking, admit it, you're much better than the men who twist all women into symbols." You know Wen Lin better than others, and if she doesn't choose you in the future, it will be a loss for her life. ”
Shi Qian shook his head, but Roach could see that it was an exclamation, and they were silent for a while. Luo Qi continued to return to his theme, "I want to know what Fan Ya thinks of Pei Shu, he is the closest person to Pei Shu on the pyramid, and they are opponents. Sometimes it's not a friend who knows a person best, it's actually an opponent. ”
"Fan Ya said something." Shi Qian finally said, "Once when he was holding a drinking party in his house, he complained to some people. He said that Pei Shu had three most important groups, one was the mind mage of the first laboratory, and the other was the experimental mage of the fifth laboratory. ”
Roach kicked the rocks under his feet, and his cat jumped off his knees and ran for a groundhog in the grass. "And the third? It can't be Du Zhengyi, right? ”
"Du Zhengyi is not a group, he is simply a part of Pei Shu." Shi Qian said, his gaze drifted to Du Zhengyi again, "However, I think Fan Ya's estimate is incorrect, Du Zhengyi is not a part of Pei Shu, he is just himself." ”
Roach smiled, "Of course, you really know how to look at people. ”
Fan Ya complained that Pei Shu was like a cheating chess player, and if everyone played chess with him according to the rules, they would never be able to win against him. Fan Ya said that Pei Shu will always see everything - like you said - and not only can see everything, Fan Ya said that he can always make the best choice, always be far-sighted, and always play a big game with the highest winning rate. I used to think that these were just Fan Ya's complaints, my status was too low, and I didn't have to fuck that extra heart if my ass wasn't in that position. But since you said that it is not enough to just grasp the information, it is difficult to make correct judgments or foresights in complex systems, then it is similar to what Fan Ya meant. ”
"Fan Ya's third group, can you help him analyze the future?" Rocky asked. "But I've heard that the future is unpredictable."
"I don't know, but Fan Ya believes that the Calculation Mages are Pei Shu's third group, and that this group is not as diplomatic as the Mind Mages. Computational mages have no contact with the outside world, rarely publish their work, and rarely express their opinions on magic. Most mathmages have little contact with their families, and once a person becomes a mathmaster, he or she will basically work in the arithmetic office for the rest of his life, and even his immediate family members don't know what they are doing. ”
Roach fell into thought, and he remembered his aunt, an arithmetic who had left home, and Guan Xinyue's aunt, another arithmetic.
"Of course you don't have to believe this, most mages don't believe it, thinking it's a conspiracy theory. However, Fan Ya said that at every important juncture, the calculation mage would show up and provide some important data. Outsiders think they're just monitoring major changes in society through numbers, but Fan Ya thinks they have some more secretive work to do, otherwise they wouldn't need to be busy like that. He believed that Pei Shu's foresight came from the calculations of the arithmeticists, and they used magic calculations to predict the future. It was because he firmly believed that Pei Shu could foresee any organized and premeditated resistance, murder, and betrayal, and that only unorganized, unpremeditated, and unstructured actions could defeat Pei Shu, such as sudden assassination, or other choke-locking operations that were close to assassination. ”
Rocky's gaze turned to Du Zhengyi, and when they first met, Du Zhengyi told him that time has no magic, and there is no such thing as backward travel and forward prediction. "Is chaos the only thing?"
"Speaking of opponents," Shi Qian said, ignoring his muttering, "Isn't the Lotus Burner an opponent who is more on par with Pei Shu?" I think Fan Ya compares to them...... It's like a clown. Do you think the Lotus Burner is a manifestation of Pei Shu's loss of control over the world? ”
"Humans often say that there is no perfect solution to many problems, only a relatively optimal solution, and I appreciate this humble way of knowing. Therefore, even if Pei Shu can always make wise choices, it does not mean that he is a god, and omniscience does not necessarily mean that the next step is omnipotence. Maybe the mage world has delayed the appearance of the Lotus Burner, or that the Lotus Burner is now exposed, and we are aware that it is the things that are going well, and the best result is now. Luo Qi said, "Speaking of which, there is also a powerful Mind Archmage among the Lotus Burners, who corresponds to Pei Shu's magnitude and also dominates the progress of things to a certain extent, he is simply like another Pei Shu. ”
"Then I wish you good luck, and I will have the opportunity to talk to this Pei Shu's opponent."
Roach smiled in return for his ill-intentioned wishes. "What are you afraid of when you see each other? For a kid like me, everybody loves me, and so do monsters. ”
Shi Qian glanced at him suspiciously. "Nobody will like you, you're a monster yourself."
Roach tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair absentmindedly and looked leisurely at the bright stars of the zenith. "How lonely a wise man is!"
