Planeswalker My Plane War

Chapter 230 Defects
Hongshi walked out of his room, and was not surprised to see a lot of guests already in the living room.But what surprised him was that the tribal chief was among these guests.

The chief is a middle-aged man in his 50s.But if he met a stranger on the road, then the passerby would [-]% classify the chief as an "old man".Because the chief's hair is all white, his face is covered with wrinkles that represent stress and distress, and his eyes are already filled with a kind of almost hopeless numbness-this feature usually only appears in those who are over eighty years old and incapacitated. They can only stay with the widowed elderly in nursing homes.

But Hongshi knows that during this period of time, that is to say, for about a month or so, despair and numbness have been creeping from the chief's face, from the depths of the chief's eyes, and from under the chief's wrinkles bit by bit. fade away.A person who is familiar with the chief will be surprised to feel that he seems to be several years younger.

"Redstone," the chief asked with a hopeful face as he watched the great wizard come out.To his disappointment, Hongshi shook his head.

"Not... still not enough?"

"There is no way for now." Hongshi said loudly to the guests.

"Mr. Grand Wizard," one of the guests stood up.This is a hundred-person man in his 40s, with a well-proportioned body, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that show his knowledge and status, gentle and gentle, and wearing a white coat.In today's world, no matter where you see this kind of white coat, your first reaction is "medical staff". "You still can't give a treatment plan?"

"No. Doctor," Redstone said. "I said that although this matter is not beyond the scope of a wizard's ability, it is not a fixed duty of the wizard tradition. This is an area that some wizards are good at and some wizards are not good at. In fact, this is a relatively complicated task. Even This is the first time for me. I first have to communicate with the spirit of nature, maybe he will give me a cure, maybe he will just give me a hint, or maybe he will give me strength..."

"In short, even the first step can't be completed now, right?" Another person got up and asked.

Redstone's gaze shifted to the chief's face, stayed there for a few seconds, and then returned to the man's face.If there is a completely neutral and objective third party present, then when he sees this scene, he will say that there is some kind of power on the chief's face, forcing Hongshi to return his gaze to that person.

"Yes." Redstone replied.The identity of this person is unknown, but from the aggressive tone, it is known that he should be the confidant of the rich man, maybe even a relative or something.

"Does this mean something?" the man asked very rudely.

"I don't think so." Redstone replied. "It should be my state is wrong." He said. "When a wizard communicates with spirits, especially when communicating with the spirit of nature for important events, there is a prerequisite, that is, to make sure that one's spirit is in the best state. We need to be in the best, fullest and sharpest state. Facing the spirit of nature. In a sense, all the rituals and practices are for this purpose. But maybe I've been too tired lately. I can't keep myself in that best condition."

The man whispered a few words in an unknown language.But even if you couldn't hear what he said clearly, you knew you could see the disdain on his expression.This is obviously someone who maintains a high degree of hostility and discrimination against all witchcraft and magic.That's normal, that's what white people's religion requires of them.Especially white priests, these priests always like to derogate the spirit of nature as "demons", "demons", "demons" and the like.Completely ignorant of the greatness of the spirit of nature.

"How long do you need?"

"I need a few weeks to adjust my state." Redstone replied. "I believe it will not be long. I believe Mr. Gerrard should be able to afford the short time."

Those white people got up and left one after another. In less than a minute, only Hongshi and the chief were left in the room.

It was a dilapidated living room with old leather sofas, some dirty blankets, and a coffee table with part of the paint peeling off.Not to mention that these things are very old now, but even when they were clean and brand new from the factory, they were not eligible to enter the door of a wealthy family.Anyone can see in this room: either the owner is a poor man, or it's just been arranged randomly.

"Was it true just now?" the chief asked after everyone had left.

"I don't need to lie." Hongshi replied.

"Redstone, I'm sorry, but this time..." The chief looked at his wizard and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into an apology. "This opportunity is really rare."

"I understand." Redstone replied.Billionaire Steven Gerrard, pancreatic cancer -- it's no secret.There are countless paparazzi these days, and this kind of thing has long been on the news.Hongshi remembered seeing this news a long time ago. At that time, the news said that he could live up to half a year.This "half a year" may be the wild speculation of unscrupulous editors, but it is a certain fact that he will not live long.

So the billionaire came to his door with a request the chief couldn't refuse: He would set up a tribal-building fund and donate billions, maybe tens of billions.

what does that mean?It means that the countless problems accumulated over the years, countless debts, countless troubles, and countless disputes can all be solved in one go.The poverty and backwardness of the entire tribe can be solved fundamentally once and for all.Housing, roads, jobs, culture, food, old-age care, insurance... and so on, the problems that continue to plague the entire tribe will be solved.

"You're doing well," the chief explained dryly. "Our handicraft factory has recently received countless new orders, and our hotel rooms are full, and the tourists who have booked to come to us have been waiting for a year. I know that all of this is due to you. Yes Yes, the current situation is very gratifying. If this continues, we should be able to solve all the problems slowly, but... everyone hopes to go faster. Everyone can't wait to continue living like this... the sooner the better .”

"I will work hard." Hongshi sighed softly. "Believe in the power of the spirit of nature...but I really can't communicate with him for the time being. I am exhausted by cooperating with the government's scientific experiments during this time."

"Did those studies affect you in any way?"

"I don't believe so. Although I have elaborated on the source of the wizard's power, those white people don't understand at all, or they don't want to believe it at all." He sneered. "Put 100 years ago, I might have been sent to the stake by them. Fortunately, the whole world has indeed become more and more civilized."

After a pause, he continued. "Now I begin to understand why in the legend, those powerful wizards have to rest for a period of time after casting those powerful spells."

"what?"

"It is recorded in the legend of the tribe that the great wizard who once assisted the chief of 'Steam' once summoned a mist covering the entire grassland during the battle, thus helping the tribe win a crucial battle. But in In the second battle that followed, he failed to repeat this miracle, which led to the loss of the tribal battle. I didn’t understand it in the past, thinking it was accidental, or the wizard was deceiving the world. Now I understand that it is a normal phenomenon. It is the past I'm getting a little arrogant."

"That, Redstone, you..."

"Chief, I'm already a great wizard, a real great wizard." Hongshi said. "I dare not say that I am as powerful as those great wizards in the legends, but I don't think I am too inferior. There are some things I don't want to keep secret. I don't know if this is the rule of the spirit of nature, or the power of human beings themselves Restrictions, but the great wizard is not omnipotent. Every time I show those witchcraft, I have to rest for a while. If I cure that Mr. Gerrard this time, for a while, I hope you can help me push away all Those invitations, especially those asking me to perform miracles. Don't make random promises."

"I'll remember. But this Gerald thing..."

"I guess I will need to rest for a while, but it should not exceed one or two months. Then I should be able to communicate with the spirit of nature again." Redstone replied. "By the way, what happened to that young man. It's your nephew."

"He's outside!" The chief immediately replied seriously to this topic. "Do you really... want to teach him the way of wizarding? But he is not young anymore, he is already 18 years old, and he is going to university."

"I was already in my 20s when I became a wizard." Hongshi replied with a smile. "At that time, I just finished my master's degree. He has talent in this area. Of course, this aspect cannot be forced, and he needs to make his own choice. I suggested that he be my assistant for a while, let him see what a wizard is like, and then He makes his own decisions. Just treat it as a part-time job for him, except I won't pay the salary."

"It's fine, it can be paid from public funds." The chief replied generously.The salary of a student working part-time and this small amount is no longer a problem for him now. "I'm sure no one will object. Then I'll go out and talk to him."

A few minutes later, he came back from outside the house, accompanied by a tall and thin young man.

"Can a wizard's talent be seen?" asked the chief in a low voice.

"The great wizard is fine." Redstone replied.He gestured to the young man to sit down.The two looked at each other, looking at each other carefully.

This is a young man, strictly speaking, he still belongs to the category of "boy", with a face full of curiosity, excitement and confusion.

"This is what I said, the Great Wizard of Redstone." The chief gave the simplest introduction. "This is Antikus, my youngest nephew." The name means "Rainbow in the East", and it has no special meaning, just a common name.

"Nice to meet you." The young man was a little embarrassed under the gaze of the great wizard, he stood up and stretched out his hand.

"Me too." The great wizard stretched out his hand and shook it gently. "Did your uncle tell you about your coming to be my assistant?"

"Is it really possible?" asked the young man.He still couldn't believe it, he couldn't believe that such luck fell on him.You know, the great wizard is now the hero of the entire tribe, or the entire reserved area.Of course, Redstone had a lot of status before (tribal wizards always have a lot of status), but the glory of Redstone in the past is nothing compared to the present.Among other things, everyone knows that the decoration factory opened in the tribe, which mainly sells tribal cultural souvenirs, is now selling rapidly because of the name of "Prayer of the Great Wizard".In the past month, it has changed from the original suspension of production to the need for three groups of workers to work overtime in three shifts.Not to mention those tourists who were sparse in the past, but now come in a surge.

For the young people of the current tribe, the biggest dream is probably to learn the way of witchcraft from the great wizard.That is a real supernatural ability!
"Of course." The wizard replied.

"I'm very... very... very happy." The young man stammered.

"I don't want to affect your studies," Hongshi said. "Just treat it as a part-time job after school."

"That... I don't have to go to college." Young replied.

Hongshi smiled, and suddenly remembered the words of the spirit of nature.Knowledge and technology are one of the most powerful forces in this world, a truth also recognized by the spirit of nature.Wizards are no more powerful than that.It just looks mysterious and attractive. "I'm not entirely sure yet, so you can take care of it, just in case."

The young man's expression looked slightly disappointed, but he cheered up immediately.As a member of the tribe, he already knew that the wizards didn't just look for heirs casually.Having talent is only the most basic condition.Generally speaking, they have to be tested many times, and only those who pass all the tests can really embark on the path of wizards, and others can only give up halfway.In fact, human talent is not constant.For example, Hongshi didn't show any special abilities when he was a child. When he was an adult, he was even noticed by the tribal wizards after returning from his studies outside.

"Okay, Grand Wizard."

"You can call me Hongshi." Hongshi said. "Then as an assistant, your first task." He looked around the room.Previous guests stayed here for a while and the ashtray was full of ashes. "Clean up the room first."

"Okay. Mr. Hongshi." The young man looked at it, and there was a box in the corner, and there were some sundries piled up in it.When it comes to clearing out a room, this chest is obviously the first thing to tackle.He walked over and found that it was a painting set, which also included an unfinished painting.Judging from all traces, this is a new work.

"Ah, what is this?" I've never heard that the great wizard still has a hobby of painting.On the canvas, there is a white puppy... no, it should be a bear.Because it has no obvious tail.

"The spirit of nature." The great wizard glanced at it and replied lightly. "The one who made a contract with me."
