Chapter 281: The Momentum of the Encirclement
"President, from the Chamber of Commerce?" the old wizard looked at Wilson with eyes as if they were the belly of a dead fish. "Hmm, he seems to be a wizard?"
"Yes, Mr. President is a wizard. We're going to be a ......," Douglas said.
"Well, that's good......"
The old wizard's face showed, uh...... Maybe it's a smile? The wrinkles on his face really hinder the recognition of his expression. "Come on, take a sip. He pulled his pipe out of his mouth and handed it to Wilson. "You don't look very good, just take a puff. ”
Wilson looked at the sticky saliva that was almost dripping from the cigarette holder and couldn't help but step back.
"Well, you know, Mr. Counselor......" he said in a soft, tactful tone, "I never smoke. Uh, no. ”
"It's not hard to learn, it's easy to learn. The old wizard insisted. "You're a wizard, and smoking is a wizard tradition. There's nothing more ...... than smoking a cigarette for the comprehension of magic."
"Dear uncle, Mr. President does not smoke. Douglas quickly persuaded, "Grace, please let me go, I can't even walk." ”
The serpent hissed dissatisfied, slowly retreated from Douglas, and swam back to the dining room in a low mood. Douglas stepped forward to hold the old wizard.
"Uncle, shall we sit down in the living room? Mr. President has something to discuss with you. ”
"Okay. ”
The old wizard sighed, a look of disappointment on his face.
"Today's young people have lost all their good traditions. He staggered toward the living room with Douglas's support. He muttered, "I think ...... when we were practicing magic."
――――――
"You mean. That's an Eastern wizard?"
The old wizard asked.
"Maybe...... I'm not sure what they should be called. ”
Wilson said with a shrug. He insisted on standing in the middle of the living room, rather than being invited to sit side by side with Advisor Howard on the stained, dusty, disgusting couch, for fear that if he did, he would get an incurable sore.
The old wizard took a sharp puff of his cigarette and coughed violently, interspersed with a tight, spasmodic wheezing. It was so uncomfortable that onlookers felt that their lungs were twisting and trembling with the painful gasps, and it also made people feel sympathetic. I can't wait to end the other party's life with my own hands immediately, so that the other party will not suffer this kind of torture again.
In a violent tremor, a lizard the size of a palm emerged from the old wizard's arms. Climb onto the old wizard's shoulder and stare at Wilson quietly.
Wilson trembled slightly...... Luckily, I didn't sit with this damn old guy. As a Western practitioner, of course, he also had pets. But he never felt it was a wise choice to keep a lizard in bed or in his arms.
"Oh. Poor little Pipsqueak. It was terrified. ”
The wrinkled old wizard finally took a breath and reached out to stroke the lizard on his shoulder lovingly.
"They call themselves immortals. The old wizard took another puff of his cigarette before squinting and gasping for breath. "They're not much different from us, though. It's just that he has some expertise in agriculture and meteorological magic. ”
"Agricultural and meteorological magic?"
Wilson frowned, feeling a little puzzled.
"Yes. The old wizard raised one hand and explained tremblingly with an irrefutable look of authority: "You must know that China has always been an agricultural country in history. Their wizards had to be a little unique in this area if they wanted to make a living and make money in the mortal world. For example, repel insects and rain or something. So their magic can basically be classified as agricultural and meteorological magic. ”
"Ahh ”
Wilson felt a little stunned. Although he didn't fully understand what it meant, he felt that it was a valuable piece of information that could be extremely useful in the future.
"Well, then," said the old wizard, moving his body and changing to a more comfortable seat. "You want me to deal with this wizard of the East?"
"Ah, it doesn't have to be you. Wilson hastened to explain. "It's just that we're not 100% sure at the moment, so we hope you can follow us and ...... in case of emergency"
"No problem at all. The old wizard smiled. "I think I'm pretty sure of them and I'd love to have a chance to play against them. ”
Wilson was overjoyed.
"So, we ......"
He asked tentatively.
"I still have some things to take care of, so I'm not going to leave with you. Let's make an appointment, and I'll be there then. ”――
――――――
Walking out of the courtyard door of the villa, Wilson was still confused.
This old fellow, why didn't he mention money to me this time...... Could it be that he suddenly became kind, or was he really old and confused?
Even after getting into the car, Wilson was still pondering the question.
His phone rang.
"Hey...... What, have you been contacted, and what is the result...... Where did he go, northeast ...... great!"
Wilson's car sped away. Behind him, a puff of black smoke briefly rose from the chimney on the small roof of the villa, which quickly dissipated.
――――――
The next day, Wu Ge's situation became more and more critical.
Yesterday afternoon, he again encountered a small fleet. This fleet actually carried three laser emitters, although the power was not as large as the two he had encountered before, but it was not something that his protective body could resist. Fortunately, he found out that the other party was also relatively early, and decided to retreat in time, otherwise it would be difficult to get rid of the other party's outflanking.
After nightfall, Wu Ge finally found a small desert island. Although I couldn't find anything to eat, I did replenish some fresh water. And I can finally find a decent place to meditate and practice and restore my energy.
It seems that the other party knew that he wanted to return to China, and laid an interception line against himself. Wu Ge pondered. In that case, it would be better to fly in a different direction, bypass this interception line, or simply go to another continent to make another plan. In this way, it may also have the effect of taking the enemy by surprise.
So, after the sky was bright, Wu Ge changed his strategy and began to fly in a northeast direction, planning to fly a certain distance and then turn to the west to see if he could bypass the opponent's defense line.
And in doing so, he fulfilled Richardson's previous prediction. Moreover, at this time, Wilson had also sent a modified large early warning aircraft to track and monitor Wu Ge from a distance that Wu Ge could not detect. Wu Ge's actions were completely controlled by Wilson. Above the vast ocean, the encirclement is gradually shrinking.
Lao Zhou's previous worries were justified, and the power of a complete combat system should not be underestimated.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Ge spotted several small spots at sea level. The dots gradually join together in a line, which looks like a small island. Just when Wu Ge was secretly congratulating himself on the good results of his change of strategy, at one end of the island, several other small spots appeared.
That's the mast of a warship that sticks out of the sea!(To be continued......)
