magician in town

Chapter 26 Wisdom is the only magic weapon of the mage.

Waking up was like a near-death experience of drowning. Zhao Zhiyan remembered that his lungs were flat, and then the air rushed into his lungs.He blinked, but it took a while before he realized he had regained his sight and eventually his hearing.

How fresh, he thought, he actually woke up to the pipa music.He opened his heavy eyelids, and the first thing he saw was the expensive texture of the solid wood floor, and there was a row of high-heeled shoes in an inconspicuous place by the window, lightly carved into the skin of the wood.

He has been here.His consciousness became clearer, he remembered the floor, and he remembered the heel marks.

He raised his neck slowly, his neck was stiff.The little girl from the Guan family was holding the pipa, plucking the strings with her slender hands.She wasn't very attentive, she was talking to the mage leaning on her chair with her head up.It was the little mage, not the big one, this one was less vicious but had disturbing eyes and an erratic personality.

Zhao Zhiyan could hear their voices, but his brain was slowly starting up, and he hadn't recovered his language processing ability.I don't know what he said, and he stretched out his hand to point on the strings of the pipa. The little girl suddenly became angry, and frantically fiddled with her fingers on the pipa.What can Zhao Zhiyan say?The so-called big pearls and small pearls falling on a jade plate and smashing eight petals are nothing more than that. It is true that the only thing in the world that is fast is not broken. No matter how beautiful the instrument may be, when the performer shows off his skills, it will only make maddening noises.

Zhao Zhiyan let out a cry, and raised his trembling hands to cover his head.

The two people who were ruining the pipa were stunned, and they turned their heads to look at him together.As if he wasn't in this room before, slumped into a puddle on a chair.

While the three of them were looking at each other, the fourth person in the room stomped in and said, "I just remembered, Roach, have you taken your medicine? Is my fucking talking to you just for nothing? Don’t let me break my mouth like your mother. Let me remind you again, do you know if you are lacking blood? If you are lacking blood, you will be lacking in zinc, and if you are lacking in zinc, you will be lacking in heart and eyes, and your IQ of up to 250 points will be damaged..."

Zhao Zhiyan coughed dryly, and Du Zhengyi turned his head to look at him with a calm expression, "You're awake."

What else could Zhao Zhiyan say?He looked at the mage who almost killed him in confusion. At this moment, he was standing in front of him wearing a neat shirt and trousers, a bit like an urban white-collar in a building, and looked very academic and bookish.This man was able to manipulate rare killing magic, but he couldn't see an obvious crystal artifact on his body, looking like a hard-pressed mage.With his hands in his trouser pockets, he tended to the younger one impatiently like a normal big boy.

He is so ordinary, so special, and so contradictory.This made Zhao Zhiyan very regretful. He should have caught the lion, tied it back, had its brain cut open, and the piece of consciousness copied from Du Zhengyi inside was disassembled, chewed, and then Product carefully.For a person like Du Zhengyi who is destined to step on the altar, even the slightest bit of information about him can be sold at a sky-high price.

So he was really careless, and only now did he understand why he was almost beaten up.

He was in a daze for a while and didn't know how to speak, the corner of his eyes blurred, that furball, that furball of unknown composition rushed over first, and the big brother with his back approached him confidently.Those dark eyes looked over, there seemed to be a strange gloomy fire in the depths of the pupils, an itchy scratch suddenly passed across his back, and he looked into the child's eyes in horror but couldn't restrain himself, what was so strange this time nothing.He breathed a sigh of relief without being noticed, and the furball's eyes were attracted by his trembling hands, "ah, don't you exercise much?"

Today is really his shameful day, he couldn't help but give Mao Qiu a supercilious look, "I'm frozen, okay? You can try soaking in ice water for a while?"

"Oh." Mao Qiu sighed complacently, and looked back at his eldest brother.The fucking genius who was in control of the situation had a rare connivance with his fuzzy follower who couldn't keep up, and didn't care at all.

He sighed, looked down at his drenched trousers, hesitated for a while, and finally made a request to Du Zhengyi, "With your ability, give me a quick-drying pan that makes water molecules vibrate." The curse shouldn't be difficult, right?"

The young over-the-top magician was settling into a comfortable rosewood chair in a relaxed posture that seemed to indicate that he would never lift a finger again.The little girl came over and turned on the heater, and Fuqiu whispered, "You should be honest and use the human method to dry it. My brother never wastes energy on these small daily things."

It's reasonable, but also weird.Zhao Zhiyan glanced at Du Zhengyi suspiciously, meeting his impolite gaze, he was startled, adjusted his facial expression, and refused to easily reveal the meaning of guessing or searching.

"We can talk when you feel better." Du Zhengyi said, "If you are really the executive mage of the committee, we may have had a misunderstanding. But in this place, you should always be more careful."

Misunderstand?Zhao Zhiyan grinned, he couldn't tell because he was suffering now, and the idiot knew that this was the buckle they made.He glanced at the small one, who visibly averted his gaze.

Zhao Zhiyan suffered a dark loss, so he could only say, "I am indeed an executive mage." 
 "I know." Du Zhengyi changed into a comfortable position on the chair opposite him, leisurely He waved his hand, "I verified your crystal when you passed out."

A trace of anger flashed across Zhao Zhiyan's heart, and he subconsciously stroked the ring on his thumb, a memory crystal made in the shape of a jade ring finger, which contained many things that he couldn't fit in his mind.The stimulation of exposing his privacy made him glared at Du Zhengyi, but Du Zhengyi on the opposite side was indifferent.So he figured it out, it was a riposte.That young man has a bitter personality, he just touched his psychic beast, and he told him with overwhelming force that if he wanted to touch it, he could even break his head off.

He swallowed this breath, "I didn't touch your lion, it ran away by itself, you can contact the laboratory to see if it has returned by itself. I don't know who you are, but if we If you come here for the same thing, I suggest that you cooperate openly and honestly. After all, you will have to work for the committee sooner or later. Executing mages is like compulsory military service, and no one can escape. It’s better for you to do your duty earlier.”

Du Zhengyi didn't answer his words.He just looked at him with an indifferent expression on his face, as if he had no interest in what he had to say, which greatly embarrassed him.

Roach looked back and forth, and suddenly coughed, "If we all have the willingness to cooperate honestly, then you shouldn't—in your words—Jie Hu."

"Okay." Zhao Zhiyan sighed, finally willing to make himself look more mature. "I was wrong about this, and I sincerely apologize. This misunderstanding really started from me."

Du Zhengyi just nodded hastily to this apology, and Roach asked distrustfully, "It seems that you must have been here more than once or twice, why haven't you been in contact with the Guan family?"

"I took over this task halfway, and I was still getting familiar with the information along the way." Zhao Zhiyan said, he looked at the pale girl in the room, "So this girl is not the one who lost it? If the Guan family left The people here are all ordinary people. Is there anything wrong with not having a mage contact them? The highest guiding principle is not to disclose information to humans. Even this little girl, once the death case of Guan Yushan is over, her memory will be wiped by the special execution mage dropped."

"What?" Guan Xinyue stood up abruptly from her chair, her face flushed, she looked at Du Zhengyi and Luo Qi as if asking for help.Du Zhengyi didn't look back, she could only see Du Zheng's expressionless side face.As soon as Roach's eyes met her, he hurriedly moved away.

"This is the custom, the rules." Zhao Zhiyan observed their situation and said dryly. "Let's get down to business. Although I made you feel uncomfortable about my cut-off, I hope you can understand. In my opinion, your behavior is also very suspicious. The group of people in charge of this matter before me investigated It was only a few months before I vaguely realized that the Jingtu Temple was suspicious, how could you go straight to the Jingtu Temple?"

Luo Qi didn't speak, and it was Du Zhengyi who took over, "This may be the benefit of being willing to contact ordinary humans." The tone was flat, but tit-for-tat.

Zhao Zhiyan's expression was unkind, and he subconsciously looked at Guan Xinyue. The girl was very quiet, but the gloomy gaze she was looking at him made him uncomfortable. He looked away again, trying his best to ignore the existence of human beings.

He looked back at Du Zhengyi, and replied, "I'm afraid it may also be because you are carrying out a secret mission of a certain venerable. There are only two of you, and you have no skills to separate yourself, so you can only find a way to take a shortcut."

"My lord?" Roach blurted out.

"Isn't it?" Zhao Zhiyan didn't realize that Luo Qi also had a lack of information, and he was still busy restraining his annoyance. "Except for the supreme archmage—the nine archmages called venerables, who else has the opportunity to pick a student seedling like your boss? Speaking of which, Du Zhengyi, is this name really his real name? I guess it's a fake name, where are you number six?"

Luo Qi looked at Du Zhengyi in bewilderment, but Du Zhengyi was still calm, and said for a long while, "It's what you say."

Luo Qi choked out a sentence, "Where do you think there are Du Yi, Du Ding, Du Xia, Du Wang and Du Zheng?"

"We can talk about these gossips after we finish the business." Du Zhengyi said, "You are right about one thing. We don't have enough manpower, and we don't have time to investigate the information you already have. I could have gone to the committee to investigate first. Execute the mage's investigation report, and then come here for on-the-spot investigation. But I don't want to let the second-hand materials be preconceived, so I plan to come here to read the materials first, and then go back to adjust the materials. I didn't expect to bump into you here, which will save trouble. You have crystals I have roughly read the information in it, but I hope you can tell us more about it. By the way, I would like to advise you that it is safer to keep some things in your own mind.”

Zhao Zhiyan bit his lower lip tightly, glared at Du Zhengyi gloomily, and after a while he suddenly sneered.He leaned back on the back of the chair, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Come on, let me have a cup of hot tea first." He looked at Roach, "I must have seen you somewhere."
