Getting closer to this mouse's head, the idiom "thief eyebrows and mouse eyes" is really suitable for this guy. Those roving eyeballs, two mustaches, a pointed mouth, and two big teeth exposed...
"Human?" Du Wei looked strange: "You said you are human?"
"I, I, I, I are indeed human beings." The Rat Prime Minister was trembling with fright, teeth chattering, glanced at Du Wei, swallowed hard, stared at the sharp sword in front of him, and faltered : "I, I, I, I am really a human being, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, dares, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, dares, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no dares to lie to you,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and andered ways…"
"Stop!" Du Wei shouted with his eyes wide open, "If we continue speaking, there will be another stutter."
Dardanelle retracted his bow, and also had a strange expression on his face: "Are you really human? Why do you look like a mouse?"
"I... used to be really human, and I used to be a magician, but just over twenty years ago, I came to the frozen forest with people..." The mouse prime minister looked pitifully at Hussein's sword, A disgusting and flattering smile piled up on his face: "Mr. Knight, can you move your sword away first? My neck has been cut."
Hussein snorted and put down his sword. With his ability, he was not afraid of what tricks this guy would play.
Seeing that there was no threat under his neck, Prime Minister Rat was relieved, he let out a long breath, and straightened his clothes. Seeing Hussein's murderous gaze again, it shrank its neck and said in a low voice: "My former name was Gargamel..."
Before it finished speaking, Du Wei's eyes widened: "Gargamel?"
Good guy, I'm still fucking called Smurf!
Unexpectedly, Hussein recognized the name, and the knight frowned: "Gargamel? Your name is Gargamel?"
"That's right, that place is indeed my former name. I used to be a magician, a human magician, and a great magician!" The mouse prime minister shrank his head. It seems to be very afraid of Hussein.
Du Wei didn't believe it yet: "Great magician? Then you should be at least level eight or above."
But in the battle just now, the magic power displayed by this guy was at most a little higher than that of Du Wei, and he didn't have too great strength. The eighth-level magician is on the same level as Xiao Weiwei'an and the violent woman Joanna, but in terms of strength, the quality of this mouse prime minister is really far behind.
Hussein had a thoughtful expression on his face: "Are you really the Great Magician Gargamel? I seem to have heard of your name. You used to be one of the directors of the Magic Union, right?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Prime Minister Mouse's eyes shone. When I mentioned the past, I couldn't help puffing out my chest: "I used to be a council member of the Magic Union! Do you know my name?"
Du Wei pulled Husain: "Do you really know it?"
"I don't know, but I've heard of this name. If it's not lying, I'm afraid it really is the Gargamel I know. An eighth-level magician, a council member of the Magic Union. At the same time, he is one of the few in the world. There are not many, there are extremely rare high-level magicians who are proficient in "transfiguration". Twenty years ago, this guy was very famous in the imperial capital."
"Just him?" Both Du Wei and Dardanelle couldn't help but glance at this guy, just such a wicked thing
Hussein also showed a strange smile: "This guy really has a special reason for his fame. His eighth-level magician qualification was actually somewhat opportunistic, but people who practice magic like Transfiguration It has become less and less. In order to protect and encourage this rare magic to continue to be passed on, the Magic Union gave him the title of a great magician. You know that he had two very famous nicknames in the imperial capital, Do you know what it is?"
"Come on, Hussein, I'm curious." Du Wei laughed.
"The first nickname is "the most misnamed great magician in history". Because it was recognized at the time, if the real strength is compared, he is the weakest of all eighth-level magicians. I even doubt that even a sixth-level magician He can also defeat this guy. But his transformation technique is indeed very accomplished." Hussein rubbed his chin.
"Transfiguration..." A strange look flashed in Du Wei's eyes, and then he asked, "What about the other nickname?"
"The most timid magician." Hussein said it without any concealment. Fortunately, there is no expression on the mouse's face, otherwise, Mr. Gargamel must be blushing now.
"He is considered the most timid magician. He never duels with others. Even if he offends others, he is the first to apologize. He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble... Oh, but he is very good at flattering. He is a council member The title is because it is very cool to serve the vice chairman of the magic union. That's why he got it. Among all the great magicians in the imperial capital, he is the one who likes to enjoy the most, has the best relationship with the powerful, and is also the most greedy for money The other one... oh, I heard that he is still very horny, it is said that this guy is often seen changing clothes and wandering around Fengyue Street in the imperial capital... and his nickname of the most timid magician is where he got it." Hussein haha He said with a smile: "It is said that once, in Fengyue Street, there seemed to be a fight over something, most of which was the kind of jealousy. A sixth-level warrior was drunk and threw the jug on him in front of many people. He even drew his sword to duel with him. But this eighth-level magician ran away in despair, and has not dared to go to Fengyue Street for more than a month since then."
"That's because I'm magnanimous, and I don't care about that kind of layman!" Gargamel retorted with a whimper.
"But why do you always run away when you meet that samurai in the future? Because of that incident, you have completely humiliated the Mage Guild. That samurai has also become the first one in decades who dared to challenge alone. A sixth-level warrior of a great magician. Because of that matter, you were unanimously voted out of the board of directors by the Magicians Union, right
"That's because... I'm a staunch pacifist..." Gargamel retorted, his voice gradually getting weaker.
"Pacifist..." Du Wei suppressed a smile: "Are you really that witch wizard? You pacifist, why did you come here. Became the prime minister of an animal kingdom? And... turned into a mouse? "
Gargamel gritted his teeth, and there was a trace of hatred in his eyes: "It's all due to that damned Az who deserves a thousand knives!!"
have to! Du Wei smiled wryly in his heart, first Gargamel, and now an "Az cat" appeared
Hussein sighed: "Az? Mr. Az, the great magician?"
"Who else is he! This despicable, greedy, cunning, and cowardly guy!" Gargamel scolded.
"Despicable, greedy, cunning, cowardly..." Du Wei looked at Gargamel with a smile, "These descriptions are most suitable for your Excellency."
"Oh, respectful gentlemen." Gargamel smiled humbly again: "I admit... But, that Az is definitely ten times more despicable, greedy and cunning than me... and a hundred times cowardly!"
Afterwards, the Prime Minister Gargamel told about his pitiful history of blood and tears.
The great magician of Az he was talking about was actually a very famous magician, not to mention anything else. More than 20 years ago, that sensation led a group of senior knights to the frozen forest, crossed the Dayuan Lake to the north bank, and walked deep into the forest where no one had ever been before! The protagonist of that matter. It is His Excellency the Great Mage of Az.
Then at the end of the story, the Great Magician of Az was in danger in the canyon, and all the senior knights accompanying him were killed in battle. He was seriously injured and fled back alone.
However, his legendary experience has also been respected by many people. Because before that, no one would go so far and deep into the frozen forest! And he also left some precious information, that is, the road maps in the northern part of the frozen forest.
"That was the time when I was tricked by that bastard Az into the frozen forest together." Gargamel sighed.
"But why was there no mention of you in that incident at all. And when the expedition team set off from the imperial capital, you were not on the list." Hussein narrowed his eyes. He looked at the big mouse coldly.
"That's because... First of all, when he was in danger, Az abandoned me despicably, so he didn't dare to say my name! Second... I didn't set off with them in the imperial capital, I was in the frozen forest In a small town in the south, I ran into Azi and the others by chance." Gargamel's eyes rolled wildly: "I... I was preparing to enter the frozen forest alone."
"It's up to you?" Hussein smiled disdainfully, and pierced Gargamel's cowhide: "You even fled in a hurry when you were dueling with a sixth-level warrior, and you dared to enter the frozen forest full of monsters alone. I I warn 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 long sword!"
Gargamel immediately raised his hand and surrendered: "Okay! To be honest... I really didn't dare to come in. Alas... I really regret that I really shouldn't have met those people in Aziz. I brought some gold coins with me at the time. In the small town on the southern edge of the forest, if you can meet some teams that have ventured back, I think I can buy some magical beast cores that have been hunted back from those people."
Dardanelle frowned: "It's available in the magic shop in the imperial capital, why did you travel so far to the north?"
Gargamel answered the reason honestly: "Because it is too expensive to buy in the imperial capital. Usually those things are hunted out of the frozen forest, and then the adventure team sells them to smugglers, who are transporting them to the south and selling them as dirty goods." Only through local middlemen can it be passed on to the market in the end, and the cost will increase by at least four or five times if it passes through skilled hands in the middle."
"But the magician should not be short of money." Du Wei laughed.
"There is indeed no shortage of land." Gargamel said the truth: "But I am short of money. I have a fixed salary in the magic union, and I can also get some fixed tribute from the nobles I know. But that time and After the samurai conflict, my reputation has deteriorated a lot, and the nobles no longer respect me so much, and their filial piety has also decreased a lot. And... I still like women and I like to gamble. Hey! Don't look at me like that! I Although I'm timid, I'm a good gambler! I never lose money! If you don't believe me, go ask around. In the casinos in the imperial capital, who doesn't know that my old Gargamel is famous for being a good gambler!" Said Speaking of his glorious deeds, the mouse prime minister actually looked proud.
"Okay..." Du Wei smiled bitterly.
I've never seen this kind of magician... I'm afraid he is also the most unusual magician in hundreds of years.
"I owe a lot of gambling debts, and the offerings from those nobles are also less. The salary in the Magician's Guild is not enough for me to pay off the debts... It's a pity that I didn't learn alchemy back then. Among other colleagues, those guys who can do alchemy, Everyone is very noble and unwilling to deal with a guy with a bad reputation like me. I was forced to do nothing, so I had to come out and find some ways to make money. Although magicians can be respected everywhere, they can be everywhere I got benefits. But my reputation at that time was too bad. Those rich and powerful nobles didn't pay me much attention, so I had to leave the imperial capital and come to the north." Suddenly Gargamel's eyes lit up: "I thought of a way to get rich , just waiting at the edge of the frozen forest, waiting for the team that ventured back, and buying some magic cores directly from them at the cheapest price, and then I will take them back to the imperial capital and sell them to other magicians. In the middle There are four or five times the profit!
Du Wei sighed, looking at Gargamel, he couldn't help showing some curious eyes.
What a freak... But he can actually understand the method of controlling upstream purchase channels and obtaining the lowest cost price in the commercial field. In this world, it can be considered economically savvy.
"Then what happened was my misfortune." Gargamel said with a bitter expression, "I met Az, this guy told me that they were going to enter the Frozen Forest, and he actually recruited me to join him."
Hussain's eyes turned cold. snorted.
"Okay, okay!" Facing Hussein's gloomy gaze, Gargamel raised his hands in surrender again: "I'm telling the truth... that bastard Az didn't like me at all, and I, seeing these people's strength, A great magician brought a group of high-ranking knights. They entered the forest with such a powerful force. If they could follow them, they would be very safe. I thought, why not join them. They encountered monsters along the way. After they killed the monsters I can get the magic core without spending a single gold coin. If I can make a fortune from this kind of costless business, it will be enough for me to return to the capital to pay off my debts. So... Aziz and I are trying hard, no matter what I'm also a magician, so I'll be useful to some extent, 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 laughing and said, "But it's to the south of Dayuan Lake. You should also know that it will be dangerous to go any further. Why do you still follow?"
Gargamel seemed to have swallowed a piece of coptis. Spreading their paws, the two mice said with a wry smile: "They must continue to go north, what can I do? Do you want me to leave the team and go back alone? Go through the vast forest and return to the small town? I am worried that I will be killed on the way alone. The monsters ate it. We could only hold our noses and continue walking with them. Unexpectedly, we came outside this canyon and met those tree people... I heard about the fountain of youth here, Az was at that time I can't close my mouth from laughing, I must come in and look for that damn spring water! Alas... "
"The result? Did you find it?" Du Wei was very concerned about this issue.
"I found it, but I didn't expect that the evil eye guarding the spring is such a terrifying monster!" Speaking of the evil eye, Gargamel shook violently, his teeth chattering, and said in a trembling voice: " In a great battle, all those high-ranking knights lost their lives, and Aziz was beaten almost to death, and lost an eye, and then we had to run away... But! That damned Aziz, unexpectedly left me One escaped!"
Seeing Gargamel's teeth itch, Du Wei couldn't help saying a word: "At that time, he didn't have any friendship with you, so of course he didn't care about you, and ran away by himself."
"It's not that simple." Gargamel smiled wryly, "That bastard who suffered thousands of knives actually lied to me that it would be better for us to go east and west separately, and I thought at the time that I can change shape, I just need to turn into a mouse and find a hole to drill in. His target is big, and it is easier to attract that monster. So I agreed. But that bastard actually tricked me, and while I was not paying attention, he actually Throw a bottle of "glitter powder" on me! That bastard! It was night, and it was dark night, and I was wearing glitter powder on my body, shining non-stop, how eye-catching and eye-catching! Evil eyes naturally rushed I'm chasing you! That bastard Az ran out!!"
Both Du Wei and Dardanelle held back their laughter, and then asked, "What happened next?"
Gargamel looked unhappy: "I used the transfiguration technique to turn myself into a mouse. I was running around in the dark, but I accidentally fell into the spring water. Gulu Gulu poured several sips of water..."
Du Wei changed his color slightly: "The spring you fell into, could it be that fountain of youth?"
Gargamel stared at his eyes, and said angrily: "It's that ghost!" But seeing Hussein staring at his neck coldly, his tone quickly softened: "I said... um, yes , is the fountain of youth.”
Du Wei's expression was strange, and the eyes he looked at Gargamel couldn't help becoming complicated.
Gargamel didn't notice it, and said to himself: "Then when I realized it, Xieyan's hand had already grabbed my neck and lifted me up. I thought I must be dead. The others The knights are turned into stones by her glance! That bastard Az would rather poke one of his eyes blind before running away. But I kept running with my eyes closed to fall into that damned place In the spring, Xieyan she..."
"etc!!"
This time it was Du Wei and Dardanelle who stopped Gargamel at the same time.
Dardanelle looked excited: "You mean... you will turn into stone if you look at it? Could it be that this evil eye is the golden-eyed python?"
Du Wei had a strange expression on his face: "What did you just say? Did you mean "she"?? Is Xieyan a woman??" (Roland's mainland language, the pronunciation of "he" and "she" are different , like HE and SHE in English)
Probably being asked by two people at the same time, Gargamel was stunned for a moment, and then he replied: "Well, this warrior, Xieyan is not a golden-eyed python, but she might have been cultivated from a golden-eyed python in the past. But she is The final advanced state of the golden-eyed python series of monsters...Queen Medusa!" Then he glanced at Du Wei, smiled wryly, and said, "You heard me right, and I said it right. ", Xieyan is what she calls herself, this Majesty Xieyan is a lady, but a terrifying beauty snake!"
