Chapter 80 "Queen of Medusa"
He leaned closer to the rat's head. The idiom "shifty-eyed" could not be more appropriate to describe this fellow. Those rolling eyeballs, two moustaches, a sharp mouth, and two exposed teeth …
"Human?" Du Wei's face was strange, "You said you are a human?"
"I-I-I-I am indeed a human." The rat Prime Minister was trembling with fear, his teeth chattering. He looked at Du Wei and swallowed hard. His eyes stared at the bright sword in front of him and stammered, "I-I-I am really a human, n-n-n-n, I won't lie to you … n-n-n, I won't dare to lie to you … I-I-I …"
"Stop!" Du Wei stared and shouted, "If you continue, there will be another stutterer."
Dadaneier put away his bow and also had a strange face, "Are you really a human? Why do you look like a rat? "
"I … used to be a human, I used to be a magician, but twenty years ago, I followed people to the frozen forest …" The rat Prime Minister looked pitifully at Hussain's sword, his face piled up with a disgusting flattering smile, "Mr. Knight, can you move your sword away first? My neck has been cut. "
Hussain snorted and put down the sword. With his ability, he was not afraid of this guy playing any tricks.
Seeing that there was no threat below his neck, the rat Prime Minister was relieved. He let out a long sigh and tidied up his clothes. With a glance, he saw Hussain's murderous eyes. He shrunk his neck and whispered, "My former name was Gege Wu …"
Before he finished, Du Wei had already opened his eyes wide, "Gege Wu?"
Good guy, I'm also called Smurf!
Unexpectedly, Hussain actually recognized this name. Knight frowned, "Gege Wu? You are called Gege Wu? "
"That's right, that was indeed my previous name. I used to be a magician, a human magician, and a great magician! "The mouse Prime Minister shrunk his head and seemed to be very afraid of Hussain.
Du Wei didn't believe it. "Great Magician? Then you should be at least at the eighth level. "
But in the battle just now, the magic power this guy displayed was at most a little higher than Du Wei's, and he did not have much strength. An eighth-level magician was on the same level as the little stutterer Vivian and the violent woman Joanna. But in terms of strength, the mouse Prime Minister's ability was far from theirs.
Hussain had a pensive expression on his face. "Are you really the great magician Gege Wu? I think I've heard your name before. You used to be one of the directors of the Magician's Guild, right? "
"Right, right, right!" The mouse Prime Minister's eyes lit up. When he mentioned the past, he couldn't help but puff out his chest. "I was indeed a member of the Magician's Guild! Do you know my name? "
Du Wei pulled at Hussain. "Do you really know him?"
"No, but I've heard of this name. If he's not lying, then I'm afraid he really is the Gege Wu I know. An eighth-level magician, a member of the Magician's Guild, and one of the few high-level magicians in the world who is proficient in the 'Shapeshifting Spell'. Twenty years ago, this guy was very famous in the capital. "
"Him?" Du Wei and Dadaneier couldn't help but look at this guy. Such a shifty-eyed thing?
Hussain also showed a somewhat strange smile. "This guy became famous for a special reason. Back then, his qualification as an eighth-level magician was more or less opportunistic. It's just that there are fewer and fewer people who practice the Shapeshifting Spell. The Magician's Guild gave him the title of Great Magician in order to protect and encourage the continuation of this rare magic. Do you know that he had two very famous nicknames in the capital? Do you know what they were? "
"Say it, Hussain, I'm very curious." Du Wei laughed.
"The first nickname was' The Most Unworthy Great Magician in History. 'Because at that time, it was recognized that he was the weakest of all the eighth-level magicians in terms of real strength. I even suspected that even a sixth-level magician could defeat this guy. But his Shapeshifting Spell was really high. "Hussain touched his chin.
"Shapeshifting Spell …" Du Wei's eyes flashed with a strange light, and then he asked, "What about the other nickname?"
"The Most Timid Magician." Hussain said without hiding anything. Fortunately, the mouse's face couldn't be seen. Otherwise, this Gege Wu would be blushing right now.
"He was known as the most timid magician. He never dueled with others. Even if he offended others, he would be the first to apologize. He was timid and afraid of trouble … Oh, but he was very good at flattery. His title as a member of the board was because he served the vice president of the Magician's Guild very well. Of all the great magicians in the capital, he was the one who liked to enjoy life the most. He had the best relationship with the nobles, and was also the one who was the most greedy … Oh, I heard that he was also very lecherous. It was said that this guy often changed his clothes and wandered around the romantic streets of the capital … His nickname of the Most Timid Magician came from there. " Hussain laughed and said, "It was said that once, on the romantic streets, they seemed to have fought over something. It was most likely the kind of jealousy. A sixth-level warrior was drunk, and in front of many people, he threw a wine jug on the magician's face and even pulled out his sword to duel with him. But this eighth-level magician ran away with his tail between his legs. From then on, he didn't dare to go to the romantic streets for more than a month. "
"That's because I was magnanimous and didn't bother with that kind of vulgar person!" Gege Wu retorted.
"But why did you always run away at the sight of that warrior when you met him in the future? Because of that matter, you simply lost the face of the Sorcerers Guild. That warrior also became the first sixth-level warrior who dared to challenge a great magician single-handedly in decades. It was also because of that matter that you were unanimously voted out of the board of directors of the Sorcerers Guild, right?
"That's because … … I'm a resolute pacifist … …" Gege Wu's rebuttal gradually became softer.
"Pacifist … …" Du Wei held back his laughter, "Are you really that magician Gege Wu? You're a pacifist, how did you come here and become the prime minister of an animal kingdom? And … … you even became a rat? "
Gege Wu gritted his teeth, and a trace of hatred appeared in his eyes, "This is all because of that hateful, damnable Azrael!!"
Fine! Du Wei laughed bitterly in his heart. First it was Gege Wu, and now a "Azrael" appeared.
Hussain sighed and said, "Azrael? The great magician, Mr. Azrael? "
"Who else could it be if not him! This despicable, greedy, cunning, cowardly guy! "Gege Wu scolded.
"Despicable, greedy, cunning, cowardly … …" Du Wei looked at Gege Wu with a smile, "These descriptions are the most suitable for your excellency."
"Oh, honorable gentlemen." Gege Wu smiled humbly again, "I admit it … … But that Azrael is definitely ten times more despicable, greedy, cunning, and a hundred times more cowardly than me!"
Then, Gege Wu, the rat prime minister, told his pitiful history of blood and tears.
The great magician Azrael he spoke of was a very famous magician. Not to mention others, more than twenty years ago, he led a group of senior Knight to the frozen forest, crossed the Big Circle Lake to the north shore, and went deep into the forest where no one had ever been before! The protagonist of that incident was his excellency, the great magician Azrael.
At the end of the story, his excellency, the great magician Azrael, was in danger in the canyon. The senior Knight accompanying him all died in battle, and he was seriously injured and fled back alone.
But his legendary experience also gained the respect of many people. Because before that, no one had ever gone so far into the frozen forest! And he also left some precious information, which was a map of the northern part of the frozen forest.
"It was that time that I was tricked by that bastard Azrael into entering the frozen forest." Gege Wu sighed.
"But why was it that there was no mention of you at all in that incident? And when the expedition team set out from the capital, you weren't on the list. "Hussain narrowed his eyes and looked coldly at the big rat.
"That's because … First of all, when we were in danger, Azrael despicably abandoned me, so he didn't dare to say my name! Secondly … … I didn't set off with them from the capital. I met Azrael and the others by chance in a small town in the south of the frozen forest. "Gargamel rolled his eyes:" I … … I was preparing to enter the frozen forest alone. "
"Just by you?" Hussain smiled disdainfully and exposed Gege Wu's cowhide: "You even fled in a duel with a sixth level warrior, and you dared to enter the frozen forest full of magic beasts alone. I'm warning you, I don't like people lying to me, so if you say another word of nonsense, I guarantee that your neck will kiss my sword! "
Gege Wu immediately raised his hands in surrender: "Okay! I'll tell you the truth … I really didn't dare to come in. Alas … I really regret it, I really shouldn't have met Azrael at that time. At that time, I brought some gold coins to a small town on the southern edge of the forest. If I could meet some adventuring teams, I wanted to buy some magic cores from them. "
Dadaneier frowned: "There are magic shops in the capital. Why did you come so far to the north?"
Gege Wu honestly answered the reason: "Because it's too expensive to buy in the capital. Usually, those things are hunted in the frozen forest, and then the adventuring teams sell them to smugglers. The smugglers transport them to the south and sell them to middlemen. Finally, they can be circulated to the market. After passing through the hands of experts, the cost increases by at least four or five times. "
"But a magician shouldn't be short of money." Du Wei laughed.
"Indeed, I'm not short of money." Gege Wu told the truth: "But I'm short of money. I have a fixed salary in the Magician's Guild, and I can also get some fixed filial piety from the nobles I know. But after the conflict with the warriors, my reputation has been a lot worse. The nobles no longer respect me so much, and the filial piety has decreased a lot. And … I also like women, and I like gambling. Hey! Don't look at me like that! Although I'm timid, my gambling character is very good! When I lose money, I never go back on my words! If you don't believe me, you can ask around. In the casinos in the capital, who doesn't know that I, Gege Wu, am famous for my gambling character! "Speaking of his glorious deeds, the mouse Prime Minister had a proud look.
"Okay …" Du Wei smiled bitterly.
I've never seen such a magician … I'm afraid he's the most unusual magician in the last few hundred years.
"I owe a lot of gambling debts, and the filial piety of the nobles has decreased. The salary in the Sorcerers Guild isn't enough to pay off my debts … Unfortunately, I didn't learn alchemy. Among the other colleagues, those who know alchemy are all very noble and don't want to deal with a guy with a bad reputation like me. I had no choice but to come out and find a way to make money. Although magicians are respected wherever they go, they can get benefits wherever they go. But my reputation at the time was too bad. Those rich and powerful nobles didn't pay much attention to me, so I had to leave the capital and come to the north. " Gege Wu's eyes suddenly lit up: "I thought of a way to make a fortune, which is to wait at the edge of the Frozen Forest for those adventuring teams to come back. I'll buy some magic nuclei from them at the lowest price, and then I'll bring them back to the capital and sell them to other magicians. In the middle, there's a profit of four or five times! "
Du Wei sighed, looking at this Gege Wu, he couldn't help but reveal a bit of curiosity.
What a freak … But he actually understood the method of controlling the upstream supply channels in the commercial field and getting the lowest cost price. In this world, he can be considered to have some economic brains.
"Then what happened was my misfortune." Gege Wu's face was bitter: "I met Azrael, this guy told me that they were preparing to enter the Frozen Forest, and he actually tried to rope me in."
Hussain's eyes were cold, and he snorted.
"All right, all right!" Facing Hussain's awe-inspiring eyes, Gege Wu once again raised his hands in surrender: "I'm telling the truth … It was that bastard Azrael who looked down on me, and I saw that these people had outstanding strength, a great magician, and a group of senior Knight. If I could follow them into the forest, it would be very safe. I thought, it would be better to join them. Along the way, I would encounter magic beasts, and after they killed them, I would be able to get magic nuclei, and I wouldn't have to spend a single gold coin. This kind of business without any capital, if I could take the opportunity to make a profit, it would be enough for me to return to the capital to repay my debts. So … I coaxed and pestered Azrael. In any case, I'm also a magician, so I would be of some use, so he finally let me join the team. "
"So you temporarily joined the team and entered the Frozen Forest with them?" Du Wei couldn't help but laugh: "But when you reached the south side of the Big Circle Lake, you should also know that it would be dangerous to go any further, so why did you still follow them?"
Gege Wu looked as if he had swallowed a piece of Coptis Chinensis, his two mouse paws spread out, and he said with a bitter smile: "They had to continue north, so what could I do? Want me to leave the team and go back alone? Go through the vast forest back to the town? I was worried that if I was alone, I would be eaten by magic beasts on the road. I could only pinch my nose and continue to walk with them. In the end, I didn't expect that we would come to the outside of this canyon and meet that group of Treants … When I heard that there was something called the Fountain of Youth here, Azrael's mouth couldn't close from laughing. I must come in and find that damn fountain! Alas … "
"And the result? Did you find it? "Du Wei was very concerned about this issue.
"We found it, but I didn't expect that the Evil Eye guarding the fountain was such a terrible monster!" Speaking of the Evil Eye, Gege Wu's body trembled fiercely, his teeth chattered, and his voice trembled: "In a big battle, those senior Knight's all lost their lives, and Azrael was almost beaten to death and lost an eye. Then we had to run away … But! That damn Azrael, he actually left me and ran away alone! "
Seeing Gargamel gnashing his teeth in anger, Du Wei couldn't help but blurt out: "At that time, the other party didn't have any friendship with you to begin with. Of course, they wouldn't care about you and run for their lives."
"It's not that simple." Gege Wu smiled bitterly: "That bastard, he actually lied to me and said that it would be better for us to run separately, one to the east and the other to the west. And I thought at that time that I could transform, I just needed to turn into a mouse and find a hole to hide in, and he was a big target and easier to attract that monster. So, I agreed. As a result, that bastard actually played a trick on me. While I wasn't paying attention, he actually threw a bottle of 'Flash Powder' on me! That bastard! It was night, a dark night. I had the Flash Powder on me, and it kept glowing, so it was as eye-catching as possible! The Evil Eye naturally chased after me! Azrael, that bastard, ran away!! "
Du Wei and Dadaneier both held back their laughter, and then asked: "And then?"
Gege Wu's face was full of bad luck: "I used the Transformation Spell to turn myself into a mouse. I only cared about running around in the dark, but I accidentally fell into the fountain, and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water …"
Du Wei's face changed slightly: "You … the fountain that you fell into, was it the fountain of youth?"
Gargamel's eyes widened as he snappily said: "Isn't it that damn thing!" But seeing Hussain's cold eyes staring at his neck, his tone quickly softened: "I said … En, that's right, it's the fountain of youth."
Du Wei's face was strange, and he couldn't help but look at Gege Wu with a complicated expression.
Gege Wu didn't notice and said: "Then, when I reacted, the Evil Eye's hand had already grabbed my neck and lifted me up. At that time, I thought that I was dead for sure. The other knights were all turned into stone with just a glance from her! Azrael, that bastard, would rather blind one of his eyes to run away. I kept running with my eyes closed, so I fell into that damn fountain. The Evil Eye, she … "
"Wait!!"
This time, it was Du Wei and Dadaneier who opened their mouths at the same time to stop Gege Wu.
Dadaneier's face was full of excitement: "You mean … with a glance, she would turn into stone? Could it be that this Evil Eye is the Golden Eye Python? "
Du Wei's face was strange: "What did you just say? Did you say 'she'?? Could it be that the Evil Eye is a woman?? " (In the language of the Roland Continent, "he" and "she" are pronounced differently, just like HE and SHE in English.)
Probably because he was asked the same question by two people at the same time, Gege Wu froze for a moment, then he replied: "En, this warrior, the Evil Eye is not the Golden Eye Python, but she might have been cultivated by the Golden Eye Python. However, she is the final evolved form of the Golden-Eyed Python … Queen Medusa! " Then he looked at Du Wei and smiled bitterly: "You didn't hear wrong, and I didn't say wrong, I did say 'she'. The Evil Eye is what she calls herself. This Evil Eye Emperor is a lady, but a terrifying snake beauty!"
