Chapter 135: The Gift of the Ancestors (24)
"It's like a city." As he navigated the spacious corridors of the Sealed Lands, Roach said. He took two steps forward, making a larger movement, trying to attract Du Zhengyi's attention. He went on to add, "A huge, fully enclosed, underground city. ”
Du Zhengyi's expression was very serious, their situation was actually very bad, his own magic had been put to a critical state, and he might have to use magic at any time. The Sealed Land itself didn't terrify him, and the air was filled with familiar magic. He could feel the uneasiness of the people walking with him, but it was familiar to him like home.
"A huge, fully enclosed underground city!" Roach said it again, raising his voice, his eyes wide in an effort to draw/distract him. "Don't you think it's strange?"
He didn't find anything strange, it rained, it was windy, it was earthquake, and it was all the known conditions of the world. The lighting in the hallway activates with his arrival, and everything is like family welcoming his return. Liu Ziyu walked on the other side of him, busy monitoring and experimenting with a large amount of magic, too busy to hear what Luo Qi was saying, and that was probably the only person who would be interested in Luo Qi's nonsense.
Rocky didn't care that no one was paying attention to him, and he continued, "I mean, why is the city closed? I know you will say that because this is the place of sealing, of course the seal is closed. But why make the Sealed Lands so much like a city? In case you are all country mages and forget what it means to be a human city, let me remind you again - a city is a place that can accommodate at least hundreds of thousands of people. Didn't you realize that most of the places here are empty? I said, you must have imagined what the Sealed Lands would look like before you got here, right? Have you ever imagined what the Sealed Lands looked like as a city? Have you ever thought there are any decorations on the walls here? These decorations are certainly not for the tiger, lion and kitten to admire. This is not a tomb at all, it is not a place to seal monsters, this is simply the daily living place of the earliest mages. ”
He looked up, his gaze suddenly shifted in one direction, and his chattering mouth closed slightly. He glanced back at Usu, "This is a city, a city of Ancestral Mages. Maybe they didn't even build the city underground in the first place, maybe they sank it underground when they decided to leave. ”
His words gave air, and the battlemage had no one to pay attention to him. Many of the Lotus Burners were attracted by his words, and this time no one told him to shut up. Luo Qi suddenly had a strange feeling, he was standing in the middle of the battle mages in Qionglin, but he was a little in tune with the tone of the Lotus Burner, which was really a bit unlucky. The Lotus Burner is a weird guy among mages, and he's a weird guy among mages himself.
More than one Lotus Burner was secretly looking at Roach, his words irritating them, they were not easy to talk to Roach, but they were all eager for Roach to say something more. The eagerness of the world of consciousness is like countless rice bowls handed to Roach, waiting for Roach to serve them rice.
Roach was annoyed to think that he could be a popular star among the Lotus Burners today, as long as he wanted, he could call the wind and rain in the Lotus Burners even if he didn't have to think about magic. Although he can hurt them with a few words, and he can try to twist their heads into twists in the world of consciousness, they can overcome their fear and dare to spy on a mind mage like him. Or to put it another way, the Lotus Burner is very adventurous, and the fear that a Roach brings to them is far less than offset the attraction that a Roach brings to them.
Nothing to do with magic, Roach's mind itself was appealing to them, as if at some point they were surprisingly similar. Roach felt disgusted from the bottom of his heart, and unconsciously fell into thought, the Lotus Burners could live freely in the magical world, and most of them had not reached the level of a high anti-mage. Luo Qi had seen those high-reflex madmen in the underground of Qionglin, and the Lotus Burners were not crazy to that extent, they were just more ambitious, more competitive, more desperate, and more war-like...... A thought flashed through his mind, compared to the vast majority of mages who lacked imagination and preferred a comfortable life, these characteristics of the Lotus Burner were actually more human-like.
A lotus burner was not far from him, Luo Qi subconsciously turned his head to look at the mage, only a pair of eyes appeared under the covered mask, and those young eyes kept looking at him, even if he looked at the other party, he did not evade. Roach suddenly spoke, "You also think this is the city. ”
The young Lotus Burner replied to his words without hesitation, "The thought of how many mages once lived here makes me excited. We will also have a city, a country, a city and a country of our own in the future, with only mages. ”
Du Zhengyi finally glanced at Luo Qi warnly.
"Maybe it's the Ancestral Mage and their minions, our ......" Rogi paused abruptly, he saw the vision of Usu again, and several people in robes came out of the depths of the hallway. The light in the corridor seemed to be dimmed for a while, their robes glowed softly, their faces were not perfect, but their beauty and grace were intimidating. Roach stiffened for a moment, until the figure faded away. He sensed that Usu's mind was running at high speed, and his concentration was high, and if he was casting a spell, he must have been able to mobilize high-energy magic. The particles of aerial magic did not fluctuate in the slightest, and Usu did not use magic, but he was under tremendous pressure.
Just as Roach couldn't resist asking him again, two more men came out of the depths of the hallway, this time a little unusual, their robes no longer glowing, and they were clearly arguing fiercely about something. Even if they could still maintain the grace of an ancient mage, they couldn't hide the excitement of the two. They got closer and faster, and their faces obscured by chaos became clearer and clearer. Luo Qi watched in shock as one of them passed by the ignorant Du Zhengyi, he couldn't say how similar they were in appearance, but maybe it was their posture, maybe their looks, maybe their temperament, they had many things in common. That kind of commonality, Luo Qi has also seen in Mr. Shi's memory, and the Du family is always a little special.
Luo Qi's peripheral vision saw that Wusu was also staring at the illusion closely, as if he had seen it for the first time like him, and even compared the similarity between the illusion and Du Zhengyi's like him. Roach's mind turned, and he suddenly realized a simple truth, Usu inherited other people's memories just like him. It's just that Wusu's memories are older and more vague, perhaps passed down through many generations, through many dead minds, and that is from the memories of the goddesses of Wushan in ancient times. Usu said that he also wanted to find out what he saw, and that was the truth, just like the ballad of an ancient nation, the true meaning of which has long been blurred after thousands of years.
Roach was shocked by the idea, the goddess was a mage of her own kind, and their world was always hidden in the vague illusion of Wushan, he did not think that they would be so unique. But the urgency of survival reminded him that he didn't have time to hunt for curiosities, and he put aside other thoughts and immediately thought that no one would pass on the garbage to future generations. Their ancestors don't pick and choose inconsequential memories to pass on, they just can't decipher the meaning of these fragments.
The distant "Du Zhengyi" quarreled more fiercely with the people around him, he slammed open a door in the corridor, and a cry of surprise from the real world frightened Luo Qi almost jumped. Reality and fantasy seem to coincide strangely, and the person who called it is Liu Ziyu.
"What's wrong?" Roach hurriedly asked.
"The motion capture magic suddenly failed." Liu Ziyu said. "We're half-blind now!"
