Getting closer to this rat head, the idiom "thief-browed rat-eyes" is really suitable to be applied to this guy. The swiveling eyeballs, the two whiskers, the pointed mouth, and the two exposed...
Big teeth...
"Human?" Du Wei looked strange: "You said you are a human?"
"I, I, I, I am indeed a human being." The Mouse Prime Minister was trembling with fear, his teeth were chattering, he glanced at Du Wei, swallowed hard, stared at the sharp sword in front of him, and stammered:
"I, I, I am really a human being. No, no, no, I won't lie to you... No, no, I don't dare to lie to you... I, I..."
"Stop it!" Du Wei shouted with his eyes widened: "If you continue talking, there will be another stutter."
Dardaniel drew back his bow and looked strange: "Are you really a human? Why do you look like a mouse?"
"I... I used to really be a human being. I was once a magician. But more than twenty years ago, I followed others to the frozen forest..." The Mouse Prime Minister looked at Hussein pitifully.
Sword, with a disgusting and flattering smile 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 this guy would do.
Seeing that there was no threat under his neck, the Rat Prime Minister was relieved. He took a long breath, adjusted his clothes, and caught a glimpse of Hussein's murderous eyes. He shrank his neck and whispered: "My former
The name is Gargamel..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Wei's eyes widened: "Gargamel?"
Good guy, my fucking name is Smurf!
Unexpectedly, Hussein actually recognized this name. The knight frowned: "Gargamel? Your name is Gargamel?"
"Yes, that was indeed my former name. I was once a magician, a human magician, and a great magician!" The Mouse Prime Minister shrank his head, as if he was afraid of Hussein.
Du Wei didn't believe it at first: "Great magician? Then you should be at least level eight or above."
But in the battle just now, the magic power this guy showed was at most a little higher than Du Wei, and he didn't have any great strength. An eighth-level magician is at the same level as the little stuttering Wei Wei'an and the violent woman Joanna.
, but in terms of strength, the ability of this rat prime minister is really far behind.
Hussein showed a thoughtful expression on his face: "Are you really the great magician Gargamel? I seem to have heard of your name. You were once one of the directors of the Magic Guild, right?"
"Yes, yes!" The Mouse Prime Minister's eyes shone brightly. He mentioned it and couldn't help but puff out his chest: "I was indeed a member of the board of directors of the Magic Union! Do you know my name?"
Duvillara Hussein: "Do you really know it?"
"I don't know him, but I've heard of this name. If it's not lying, I'm afraid it's really the Gargamel I know. He is an eighth-level magician and a member of the board of directors of the Magic Union. He is also one of the few in the world.
There are many, extremely rare high-level magicians who are proficient in 'transformation'. Twenty years ago, this guy was very famous in the imperial capital."
"Just him?" Du Wei and Dardaniel couldn't help but glance at this guy. Is he such a sinister person?
Hussein also showed a bit of a weird smile: "This guy is famous for a special reason. His qualification as an eighth-level magician back then was actually a bit opportunistic, but for people who practice magic like transfiguration, It has become less and less rare. In order to protect and encourage the continuation of this rare magic, the Magic Guild gave him the title of Great Magician. You know that he had two very loud nicknames in the imperial capital back then, Do you know what it is?"
"Tell me, Hussein, I'm very curious." Du Wei smiled.
"The first nickname was 'the most unworthy of the great magician in history', because it was recognized at the time that if his true strength was compared, he was the weakest among all eighth-level magicians. I even doubted that he was even a sixth-level magician. Even a master can defeat this guy. But he is indeed very accomplished in the art of transformation." Hussein touched his chin.
"Transfiguration..." A strange look flashed in Du Wei's eyes, and then he asked, "What about the other nickname?"
"The most cowardly magician." Hussein said it unabashedly. Fortunately, the expression on the mouse's face could not be seen, otherwise, Mr. Gargamel would 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, his director He got the title of committee member because he was very happy to serve the vice-chairman of the Magic Union. Among all the great magicians in the imperial capital, he is the one who likes to enjoy himself the most. He has the best relationship with the powerful and the most powerful. A greedy one... Oh, I heard that he is also very lecherous. It is said that this guy is often seen changing his clothes and wandering around Fengyue Street in the imperial capital... And that's where he got the nickname of the most timid magician." Hou. Sain laughed and said: "It is said that once, in Fengyue Street, there seemed to be a fight over something. It was probably a jealousy thing. A sixth-level warrior got drunk and drank his wine in front of many people. The pot fell on his face and he pulled out his sword to duel with him. However, this eighth-level magician ran away in despair and did not dare to go to Fengyue Street for more than a month."
"That's because I'm magnanimous and don't care about common people like that!" Gargamel retorted with a groan.
"But why do you always run away when you meet that samurai again? Because of that incident, the Magician's Guild was completely embarrassed. That samurai also became the first person in decades to dare to challenge alone. A sixth-level warrior of a great magician. It was also because of that incident that you were unanimously voted out of the board of directors of the magician's union, right?
"That's because... I am a resolute pacifist..." Gargamel's retort gradually became smaller.
"Pacifist..." Du Wei suppressed a smile: "Are you really the magician Gargamel? How could you, a pacifist, come here and become the prime minister of the animal kingdom? And... you also became a pacifist. mouse?"
Gargamel gritted his teeth, and there was a trace of hatred in his eyes: "This is all because of that damn Aziz, who deserves to be stabbed a thousand times!!"
Yes! Du Wei smiled bitterly in his heart, first it was Gargamel, and now an "Az Cat" appeared.
Hussein sighed: "Azi? Mr. Aziz, the great magician?"
"If not him, who else! This despicable, greedy, cunning, cowardly guy!" Gargamel scolded.
"Despicable, greedy, cunning, cowardly..." Du Wei looked at Gargamel with a smile: "These descriptions are the most suitable for your Excellency."
"Oh, dear gentlemen." Gargamel smiled humbly again: "I admit...but that Aziz is definitely ten times more despicable, greedy and cunning than me...and a hundred times cowardly!"
Then, the Prime Minister Gargamel Mouse told his pitiful history of blood and tears.
The great magician Aziz he was talking about was actually a very famous magician. Among other things, the one who caused a sensation more than 20 years ago led a group of high-level knights to the frozen forest.
We crossed the Great Round Lake to the north shore, and went deep into the forest where no one had ever been before! The protagonist of that incident was the great magician Aziz.
At the end of the story, the great magician of Az was in danger in the canyon. All the senior knights accompanying him were killed in battle. He was seriously injured and escaped alone.
However, his legendary experience has also been respected by many people. Because before that, no one had ever gone so far into the frozen forest! And he also left some precious information about the frozen forest.
Map of those routes in the north.
"That's when I was tricked by that bastard Az into entering the frozen forest together." Gargamel sighed.
"But why was there no mention of you as a person in that incident? And when the expedition team set out from the imperial capital, you were not on the list." Hussein squinted his eyes and looked at the big rat coldly.
"That's because... first of all, Aziz despicably abandoned me when he was in danger, so he didn't dare to say my name! Second... I didn't set out with them in the imperial capital, I was on the ice
I met Aziz and the others by chance in a small town in the southern part of the Frozen Forest." Gargamel's eyes rolled wildly: "I...I was preparing to enter the Frozen Forest alone."
"Just you?" Hussein smiled disdainfully, piercing Gargamel's skin: "You can't even fight a sixth-level warrior and run away in panic, but you dare to enter a frozen forest full of monsters alone. I
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!”
Gargamel immediately raised his hands and surrendered: "Okay! To be honest... I really didn't dare to come in. Alas... I really regret it. I really shouldn't have met Aziz and those people at that time. I brought some gold coins with me.
If we go to the small town on the southern edge of the forest and meet some groups who have returned from the adventure, I think I can buy some hunted Warcraft cores from those people."
Dardaniel frowned: "It's available in the magic shop in the imperial capital. Why do you have to 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 from the frozen forest, and then the adventure team sells them to smugglers. The smugglers transport them to the south and then resell them.
Only through middlemen can it finally be spread to the market. After passing through the middlemen, the cost will increase at least four to five times."
"But magicians shouldn't be short of money," Du Wei said with a smile.
"There is indeed no shortage." Gargamel told the truth: "But I am short of money. I have a fixed salary in the magic union, and I can also get some fixed filial piety from the nobles I know. But that time with the samurai
After the conflict, my reputation has deteriorated a lot, and the nobles no longer respect me so much, and their filial piety has become much less. And... I also like women and like gambling. Hey! Don't look at me like that! I
Although I am timid, I am a good gambler! I never default on my money after I lose money! If you don’t believe me, go and ask around. Who among the several casinos in the imperial capital doesn’t know that my old Gargamel is famous for being a good gambler!” said
Recalling his glorious deeds, the rat prime minister actually looked proud.
"Okay..." Du Wei smiled bitterly.
I have never seen a magician like this before... I am afraid he is also the most unusual magician in hundreds of years.
"I owe a lot of gambling debts, and the tributes from those nobles are also reduced. The salary in the Magician's Guild is not enough for me to repay the debts... It's a pity that I didn't learn alchemy back then. Among my other colleagues, those guys who can do alchemy
, all of them were very aloof and unwilling to deal with a guy with a bad reputation like me. I was forced to have no choice but to find some way to make money. Although magicians are respected wherever they go, they are respected everywhere.
I could get benefits. But my reputation at that time was too bad. Those rich and powerful nobles didn't pay much attention to me, so I had no choice but to leave the imperial capital and come to the north." Gargamel's eyes suddenly lit up: "I thought about getting rich.
The way is to wait at the edge of the frozen forest, waiting for the teams who venture back, buy some magic cores directly from them at the lowest price, and then take them back to the imperial capital and sell them to other magicians. In the middle
But there are four or five times the profit!”
Du Wei sighed and looked at Gargamel with a somewhat curious look in his eyes.
What a weirdo... But he can actually understand the method of controlling upstream purchase channels and obtaining the lowest cost price in the business field. In this world, he can be considered to have some economic acumen.
"What happened next was my misfortune." Gargamel said with a bitter look on his face: "I met Az. This guy told me that they were going to enter the frozen forest, and he actually roped me in to join them."
Hussein's eyes turned cold and he snorted.
"Okay, okay!" Facing Hussein's stern eyes, Gargamel raised his hands and surrendered again: "I'm telling the truth... that bastard Aziz doesn't look down on me at all, and I saw that these people are outstanding in strength.
, a great magician brought a group of high-level knights with such a strong strength into the forest. If you can follow them, it will be very safe. I think it is better to join them and encounter Warcraft along the way. They killed the Warcraft.
After that, I can get the magic core without spending a single gold coin. This kind of costless business, if I can take the opportunity to make a profit, it will be enough for me to return to the imperial capital to pay off the debt. So... Aziz and I worked hard.
, anyway, I am also a magician, so I can be somewhat useful, 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 when you reach the south of the Great Round Lake, you should also know that it will be dangerous if you go further, why are you still following?"
As if Gargamel had swallowed a piece of coptis, he spread out his two mouse paws and smiled bitterly: "They must continue to go north, what can I do? Do you want me to leave the team and go back alone? Go back to the town through the vast forest?"
I was worried that I would be eaten by monsters on the road. I could only hold my nose and continue walking with them. Unexpectedly, we came to the outside of this canyon and met the group of tree people... I heard about that thing here.
The thing about the Fountain of Youth, Aziz was so grinning that he couldn’t even close his mouth. He must come in and look for that damn fountain! Alas..."
"What's 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 chattered, and he said in a trembling voice: "
In a big battle, all those high-ranking knights lost their lives. Aziz was beaten almost to death and lost an eye. Then we had no choice but to run away... But! That damn Aziz actually lost his life.
I ran away alone!"
Seeing Gargamel's teeth-itching look, Du Wei couldn't help but say a word: "At that time, people have no friendship with you, so of course they won't care about you, and they will run for their lives by themselves."
"It's not that simple." Gargamel said with a bitter smile: "That bastard who suffered a thousand blows actually lied to me and said that it would be better for us to run eastward and westward. And I thought at the time that I could transform.
As long as I turned into a mouse and found a hole to burrow into, I would be safe. His target was big and it would be easier to attract the monster. So I agreed. But that bastard actually tricked me. When I wasn't paying attention, he actually
He threw a bottle of 'glitter powder' on me! That bastard! It was night, a dark night, and I had glitter powder on me, which kept shining brightly. I wanted to be as eye-catching as possible! The evil eye would naturally appear.
I was chasing you! But Aziz, that bastard, ran out!!"
Du Wei and Dardaniel both suppressed their laughter, and then asked: "What happened next?"
Gargamel looked unlucky: "I cast a transformation spell to turn myself into a mouse. I was just running around in the dark, but accidentally fell into the spring water. I drank several sips of water..."
Du Wei changed his color slightly: "Is the fountain you... fell into, the Fountain of Youth?"
Gargamel glared and said angrily: "It's not just that damn thing!" However, seeing Hussein's cold eyes staring at his neck, his tone softened quickly: "I said... well, no.
Wrong, it’s the fountain of youth.”
Du Wei had a strange expression on his face, and his eyes when looking at Gargamel couldn't help but become complicated.
Gargamel didn't notice, and said to himself: "Then when I reacted, Xie Yan's hand had already grabbed my neck and lifted me up. At that time, I thought that I must be dead, and the other few
The knight turned into stone after just one look from her! That bastard Aziz would rather blind one of his own eyes before running away. But I kept running with my eyes closed before I fell into that damned place.
In the spring, she has evil eyes..."
"etc!!"
This time, Duwei and Dardaniel both shouted at the same time to silence Gargamel.
Dardaniel looked excited: "You mean...if you look at it, it will turn into stone? Could it be that this evil eye is the golden-eyed python?"
Du Wei had a weird look on his face: "What did you just say? Did you mean 'she'?? Is the evil eye a woman??" (In the language of Roland Continent, the pronunciations of "he" and "she" are different
, just like HE and SHE in English)
Probably being asked questions by two people at the same time, Gargamel was stunned for a moment, and then he replied: "Well, this warrior, Evil Eye is not a golden-eyed python, but she may have been trained by 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 and said with a wry smile: "You heard me right, and I didn't say it wrong either. I was indeed talking about her.
', Evil Eye is what she calls herself. This Evil Eye, Your Majesty, is a lady, but just a terrifying beauty snake!"
