magician in town

Chapter 4 Krypton Gold Dog Eyes

"Zhengyi." Pei Shu finally said with a little reproach.

Luo Qi sighed in his heart, he was finally able to take care of Du Zhengyi, what kind of habit has he become?I really didn't expect Du Zhengyi to be a student of Pei Shu, let alone a great mage like Pei Shu who could teach Du Zhengyi such a young man who seemed a bit out of line.

"Let's just say that." Roach said in a long voice. He had already survived the shock of seeing the legendary archmage for the first time and returned to normal. "Tell me the truth, am I suffering from some terminal illness, so I can see abnormal things?"

Du Zheng looked at his teacher, and the two looked at each other.

Roach was anxious like a monkey, "Can the two of you talk with your mind?"

"Of course not," Du Zhengyi said, "I'm not that compatible with the teacher, and I haven't reached that level of spirituality now."

Hold.Roach calmed down, "Then what do you mean?"

"We were thinking," Du Zhengyi smiled slightly, subtly beating, "Maybe your head looks a little abnormal."

Luo Qiteng got angry, "I'm just waiting for you to laugh at me. My brain is different from yours, so I can't teleport, and I can't move objects through the air. I will burn my hands if I rub a fireball. I decided not to get credits." , I have to go back to study for the make-up exam, and I don’t have time to talk to you in this shabby little shop.”

Du Zhengyi's expression changed, he quickly raised his hands, and made a gesture asking him not to get angry.He got up halfway, and looked hesitantly at Du Zhengyi who seemed to be apologizing to him, but he couldn't hold back his smile on that face that deserved a beating, "You are really so big, rubbing a fireball and burning it hand?"

Assi!Roach stood up, took his schoolbag and left without looking back.

He knew that he would not be so lucky, there is some shameful high L value to ensure that he can get the opportunity to participate in social surveys, maybe his mother is watching him if he is about to graduate, and entrusted his aunt to do it Plead with Liu Li and find him a step.Also what L value?Not only did he provoke that self-righteous bastard to laugh at him, but he also lost face in front of a master mage like Pei Shu.Ashi, Falk, Hikari, Red Deer Taro!

He went downstairs angrily, walked out of the unit door, and kicked a Heineken beer can into the air.The cans flew into the field of the wild cat gang, and a fat tabby cat jumped up and gave him a sharp "meow" at him, majesticly posing a posture of disobedience and fighting.Annoyed, he bypassed the wild cat and walked towards the gate of the community.

"Roach!" someone called out to him.

He knew who it was, and when he turned around, he saw Du Zhengyi also running out with his schoolbag on his shoulders, with a smile on his face and a look of indifference.

"A make-up exam." He said, "Let's go, we're leaving tonight."

what?

Roach stood still, looking at him in surprise.

Du Zhengyi had already walked towards the car parked on the side of the road.

"What?" Roach yelled, "You drive?"

"Why can't I drive?" Du Zheng threw his schoolbag into the back seat of a Ford Mustang, "Stop talking nonsense, come in, and I'll explain to you what's wrong with you."

Roach hesitated, but he knew he couldn't refuse.Du Zhengyi had already got into the car and was looking up at him, as if a siren was singing in his car, he sighed and sat in.

Roach stepped into this coolly painted two-door car, his human side distracted him from the bad things, he had never been in such a good car, as a son of a mage Of course he used the Pendragon orbit to go out. It was a facility that provided long-distance public teleportation services. It was convenient and safe, but it was not fun.After so many years, he can only take human buses, subways and taxis to enjoy himself. The human friends he made in e-sports cafes and libraries are all standard poor youths like him, and no one can be like this A cool car.

"This is your car?" Roach fumbled excitedly in the car, "You bought it?"

Du Zheng took a look at him, started to reverse the car, and got out of the parking space. "When I was in the fourth grade, I was in poor health for a while, and I was not suitable for subspace travel. I couldn't even use the Pendragon track, so I just bought this second-hand car."

Luo Qi knew that it must be the time when Du Zhengyi was hospitalized in his parents' hospital, "This car costs millions of soft sister coins, right? Have you robbed humans? Impossible, Pei Shu will kill you. Then you Have you sold yourself to humans?"

Du Zheng stepped on the gas pedal to the bottom, and Roach sat on the back of the chair.

"You were born a boy, so your mother didn't have to worry a lot." Du Zhengyi said in the roar of the refitted Mustang. "There are no bad men driving a 30 yuan car to charge you with a luxury car. Is this why your L value is high?"

"What do you mean?" Roach asked angrily.

Du Zhengyi said, "Do you think I can afford a multi-million dollar car?"

Luo Qi thought for a while, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket to search, and opened his mouth wide at the quotation of 35 to 100 million. "Why did you buy such a car that is not as good as it looks?"

"Because I'm just a person who is not as good as I am." Du Zheng held him back.

Roach remained silent, and after a while he couldn't help it anymore, "You shouldn't have merged lines. You shouldn't have run a red light either. Wait a minute, I remembered, you definitely don't have a driver's license."

"You're not wearing a seat belt either." Du Zheng replied.

"I believe that as a mage, your reaction speed is not comparable to that of humans." Roach said.

"That's right, if there is a car accident, my quick reaction ability will ensure that I can teleport and leave safely."

"Won't you save me?" Roach said dryly.

"Have you heard of conditioned reflex? Teleportation has become my instinct to avoid danger. When I realized that I should save you, I was already standing under a street light 20 meters away, watching you in a car accident. Struggling in the ruins of the scene."

Roach pulled off his seat belt and tied himself up angrily.

They got on a viaduct, and Roach looked at the huge advertisement on the building outside the car window, and suddenly knew where they were going.Sure enough, they quickly got off the bridge and turned into a three-dimensional parking lot, which was not only a parking lot, but also the hub station of the Pendragon Rail Company in this city.The Pendragon Orbit Company has always done business on both sides. Human money is very useful, and there are too many things and services that can be purchased.There are many companies like Pendragon in the mage world. Some mages, such as Liu Xing's cousin, simply work in the human world, earning money directly from humans, and are not bound by the rules and regulations of the mage world.Currency exchange is also very simple, because the mage world uses credits as a precious circulation medium, not physical currency.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and the parking lot was adjacent to the bustling business district. There were many human beings driving into the parking lot, which caused a blockage at the entrance of the parking lot.They had no choice but to line up at the door and wait for the slow entry.

Outside the window was the street in the evening, the street lights began to light up, and the sky in the distance was the deepest blue.With the soothing music of the radio playing in the car, they had nothing to do, and finally returned to the original serious topic.

"Is there something wrong with me?" Roach asked Du Zhengyi.

"I'm not very clear either." Du Zhengyi said, his attitude was finally candid.He paused for a while, as if he was thinking about how to say this, and by the way, he drove the car one more parking space forward. "The teacher I saw today was a balding middle-aged man, wearing a brown casual suit made of thick woolen fabric, with a pair of leather patches on his elbows. He was wearing a pair of black full-frame short-sighted glasses. Of course, No tattoos on his face."

Roach asked hesitantly, "Then which one is the disguise?"

"I have studied with him for many years, so I know his true face is an old man who doesn't like to cut his hair very much and has a tattoo on his face."

Even though Roach had already guessed it, when he heard Du Zhengyi admit it, he was still shocked and sat in the passenger seat.He might have been a little bit excited, bewildered by Du Zhengyi's eye-covering technique, but he saw through it, and finally defeated Du Zhengyi by half.But most of him still couldn't believe it, and subconsciously felt that there must be something wrong, maybe it was because he ate something abnormal today that caused his eyes to be particularly sharp.It might be the mint candy that Liu Xing gave him, he might be allergic to mint.

"Mages more or less like to change their appearance, especially elderly women and people who have secrets." Du Zhengyi said, he finally drove his car into the parking lot and walked along a staff passageway. Signs go.

The Pendragon orbital hub station is in the area marked with the employee parking lot. Mages who intend to take risks in human society can drive in a car and move in space with the car.Under normal circumstances, mages usually don't need to come here specially. Generally, mage's family will have a porch as a terminal connected to the Pendragon track.The entrance to Roach's house is in the basement of their home, and it looks like an elevator that can be activated by voice.Roach often came here from the entrance link of his home, and there was a subway station opposite this hub station. After Roach arrived here, he would take the subway to meet his human friends and play around with each other to pass the time.

"The way to change the appearance is usually done through spiritual induction. Through the consciousness, the other party can see the appearance that he wants others to see. This does not necessarily require a high level of spiritual power. It will take effect with diligent practice. There are many ingenious The method can help to complete the induction." Du Zhengyi said, "I once saw a mage suffering from schizophrenia, he was a man and a woman for a while, and a swollen eye for a while, and a blister for a while. There's also a slit mouth and cat lips switching from time to time."

Roach couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene.

Du Zhengyi glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "But I think if you meet him, you may just see a down-and-out psychotic man. Because even the most exquisite psychological manipulation of Master Pei Shu will not work on you." gone."

Roach didn't know whether he should be happy. According to his experience, there must be a less optimistic way of explaining this matter in the end.

Du Zhengyi asked him, "Have you never realized that it is difficult for you to fall into hallucinations?"

Roach laughed, sounding less enthusiastic. "My family's psychic ratings are very low. They are not good at mind control. Our family doesn't talk about it very much. I am in the third grade this year, and the basic courses before the fourth grade don't involve psychology courses. I haven't done a psychic rating yet. , In fact, I never even thought about choosing such an awesome course to study. As for the ability not to fall into hallucinations... I don’t feel it. On the contrary, I feel that I often hallucinate myself, and I am distracted by accident .Inattention, does that count as an ability?"

"It's possible. Creating hallucinations requires the caster to hypnotize the recipient. Your attention is erratic, and the master can't grasp your thinking." Du Zheng laughed as soon as he finished speaking, "This is really funny .”

Roach couldn't even bring up the idea of ​​slandering him, and sat slumped on his seat, "Do you think I need to apply for a disabled mage? Maybe they will give me some money."

Du Zhengyi laughed out loud, at this time they had already driven into a closed parking space.

"There is also the possibility that the exact opposite is the case. If your brain is very well adapted to exercise mind control, even subconsciously, you receive projections from the surface consciousness of others. You have not been trained, and those who are at the lowest level The superficial consciousness is chaotic and disorderly, like mottled shadows that cannot be seen clearly, they have been interfering with you and distracting your attention. In other words, the problem of your inattention is not the cause, but the effect.”

Roach didn't speak, he thought Du Zhengyi was too optimistic.And even if it's true, it's not a good thing.The talent of mind control is not what a good person should have. If he really has this talent, maybe no girl will marry him by then.

When the garage door fell, he suddenly realized that he hadn't heard Du Zhengyi report the place name, but the Pendragon track had already started, and the next second the garage door opened, they were already in a junction station in another city.He was secretly a little surprised. Du Zhengyi was already able to skillfully use consciousness to manipulate at the age of 24. In the mage group with an average life expectancy of 225 years, the average person may not develop such an ability until they are about 90 years old.

But it doesn't matter if it can't be developed, Roach thought in his heart, because humans can replace this ability with a remote control.

"Don't worry about it for now." Du Zhengyi drove the car out of the junction in high spirits, very optimistic in every aspect, "With someone who is not likely to fall into illusions, I feel like I have got a A test strip, and it can be used repeatedly. The L value is really high, brother. Under the light of your little sun, my L value has risen."

Roach no longer had the energy to talk to him, "I'm hungry."
