The Magician in the City

I am still glad that I accidentally found this article from the recommendation of a book friend on WB. I set a starting point for the author and paid for the monthly ticket. I can foresee that it will stay here for a long time... The fate is really incredible. Let's start with the protagonist. Luo Qi and Du Zhengyi, two people without freedom, serve as each other's shield and spear. However, the truth that allows Luo Qi's eldest brother to survive is hidden in the strange blizzard. They walked forward together, encountering these lively mages and humans in the city along the way... It is precisely because the tension between them is so great, the tacit understanding of trust between them is so heart-warming, and the opponents they face are so powerful that they can be called despairing. Therefore, reading every plot of more than one million words makes me worry that they will die at any time... It is as if I are breathing with them in a world with magicians in the city. Of course, the connection and influence between them is also a microcosm of this world. Du Zhengyi is the strongest battle mage/standard Lonely Mountain Guard/bloodline inheritance of the ancestor, while Luo Qi wanders on the edge of the two worlds. After meeting Du Zhengyi, he was pulled back to the mage world where he originally belonged by his own ability. However, his childhood experience and witnessing the progress of the human world gave him a powerful ability to influence the magical world, which became an important turning point in the changes in the situation between the two parties. Luo Qi is like a sandbox, a curious civet cat. The starting point of his current behavior is his eldest brother "Du Zhengyi", who is the anchor of deep friendship and spiritual world. However, all his insistence is actually "fairness". After personally experiencing the "unfairness" brought about by all abilities, even the subsequent improvement only ironically emphasized the unfairness of the mage society. What he hopes is that "all the good and bad guys will get their due endings and rewards." He thought this more than once: when he was in the sandbox with his junior sister, when he saw Liu Xiuyun's big room, he faced the choice of the puppet monk, and his sympathy for Guan Xinyue - Luo Qi's biggest insistence was to keep Du Zhengyi alive. This person was someone he trusted wholeheartedly, reliable, strong, interesting, and respected Luo Qi. "Let people (who deserve to live) live, so that everyone can get rid of authority, do not have to be sacrificed, and make free choices." This goal is the most self-consistent and the choice that best meets Roach's value expectations. From this perspective, Luo Qi is indeed a child. He has the persistence and stubbornness of a child. Such a person will guide everyone to discover the truth. Similarly, a child means no characterization, and his anchor is indeed unstable. Luo Qi's growth is closely linked to Du Zhengyi's situation, but he is not his elder brother's fault - in his elder brother's absence, he is smart, sharp and strong, and he keeps working hard to get his brother back. As a reader with an emotional bias, I am most afraid that when Du Zhengyi makes a choice, he abandons his life and chooses to fulfill Luo Qi, just like what he said to Liu Xiuyun, "He will stick to his responsibility until the end of his life." Now that the crisis of the whole world has been revealed, his faith has begun to waver, so choosing to use death to fulfill himself and Luo Qi does not seem to be a bad choice... What he is worried about now is that his death will have a devastating impact on his beloved brother. Of course, Luo Qi's fundamental goal is the opposite. He wants Du Zhengyi to survive, but the most difficult thing is to make Du Zhengyi live willingly. In the final analysis, "Du Zhengyi has his own rules." (Please cheer up, little Luo Qi! I really like Brother Du so much.) This is an unhappy world, cruel, stormy, and full of contradictions. The existence of overly powerful forces has always been a concern in literature and politics, because human nature is always tempted. However, the people inside are so vivid that it makes me care about them... In the face of crisis, I sincerely hope and believe in the answer given in "Interstellar". In the face of the biggest racial crisis, any rational planning mechanism is not so effective, and the problem will be solved by the most sincere trust and love for family and friends. I believe that Du Zhengyi and Luo Qi, as well as all mages and creatures in the human world who are full of emotions and long for freedom, will not fall before the crisis. When I read this book, as an ordinary person without telepathy, I felt touched and connected, and I felt joy and pain at the same time. Foreshadowing and metaphors are naturally scattered in the plot, but they are just the cherry on the cake, the cutest embellishment. The grand but realistic world view setting, interesting stories and rich and lovely characters deeply fascinated me! I write this just because I want to say loudly to the author and all my beloved book friends: Let's not give up! Luo Qi and Du Zhengyi should not give up, the author should not give up, and we book friends will not give up either! Good works will be seen and remembered by those who are destined to do so. Noise Reduction Bean writes it every day (a month), and I read it every day. Finally and most importantly, I am very grateful for your patience and perseverance, which allows me to enjoy such a story, to write the first long review in my life, and to rethink some of my own opinions. All the above are just my own opinions. I sincerely wish the author good health, peace and happiness, and that he can write the story he wants to tell according to his own ideas! I also hope that all book lovers can enjoy reading and life, and of course, I hope that "The Magician in the City" can be discussed and seen by more people~

I have been watching it intermittently since the end of the period, and now I have finally tied it. The author writes so well TT, every character in the book is so vivid, especially Xiao Du and Luo Qi, the mutual redemption is really great TT! Attached is the bad graffiti I made while reading the book. I hope the author can keep writing. I will keep following it!

Just some miscellaneous pictures...

That is to say, if I don't see the end of The Magician in the City, I will never rest in peace in my life😭

Two-way redemption is so wonderful! Du Ge became like a human being because of Roach, and Roach also found a warm harbor and a bunch of friends. He kept growing for Du Ge wwwwww, but obviously they are about the same age, one is like the rising sun, but the other is about to fall ಥ_ಥ, [Obviously Du Ge is also very young wwww] Like very sour candied haws mixed with glass slag/paralysis

Ronaldinho…🤤

A little change in the picture (meal replacement)

Just write whatever you want to say. About Du Zheng and Luo Qi. Du Zhengyi trusted him, protected him, and desperately saved him when he was in danger and was captured by Qiong Lin for interrogation. Under such circumstances, it is really unsurprising that Luo Qi regarded him as the most important thing in his life and used him as his spiritual anchor. Roach is a person with few ambitions. He said he wanted to open a pet shop, but he really just wanted to open a pet shop where he could pet dogs and cats without having to fight sealed beasts or peek into the minds of aliens. As the protagonist, he has experienced many life-and-death situations and survival situations, including going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, but he is essentially just a person who likes to be ordinary. So what was his purpose in risking his life? ——Aside from being questioned and forced to have no choice because of his overly powerful magic, all his extra and proactive efforts were just to find a way to keep Du Zhengyi alive. Du Zhengyi's weight with Luo Qi is too heavy. It is not difficult to understand that Luo Qi has been a child who has been ignored and despised since he was a child. So what if he has awakened his abilities now? The mages feared him and questioned him because of his abilities, but Du Zhengyi caught him when he was still a useless person and refused to let go. Later, when he became a powerful mind mage, Du Zhengyi still protected him like a child. How sudden, after you have been used to being laughed at for so many years, suddenly there is someone who treats you willingly and without any impurity. How can you not regard him as your whole world? You can joke with him as much as you want, and he will help you clean up the mess left by your nonsense, and even openly defy the authority he is loyal to for you, and this kind of treatment is exclusive to you - how can you not go to hell for him? You can even be a little more selfish and selfishly want to take away all his attention and emotions. You will not agree to anyone who wants to control him. You have to declare his possession to Qiong Lin and the world. No one can snatch him away from you. No one can snatch him away - he is yours. Roach is such a selfish person. Because no one will be as kind to Du Zhengyi as him, just as no one will be as kind to him as Du Zhengyi. He can be a well-behaved and harmless kitten in front of Du Zhengyi, even if others think he is a beast that can tear half of the sky with one claw, so what? In front of Du Zhengyi, he will always be a kitten. With Du Zhengyi, he didn't need to grow, even if his growth rate was so fast that even Du Zhengyi wouldn't have thought of it; he always maintained an innocence and softness, because Du Zhengyi was here, because Du Zhengyi was his conscience. Luo Qi emphasized this sentence many times, and he was definitely not exaggerating. Du Zhengyi was almost his whole world - he meant all Luo Qi's efforts. If Du Zhengyi is gone, Luo Qi may really grow up as he hopes, but Du Zhengyi will not understand that he would rather never grow up. He wants Du Zhengyi to live because he is a willful and selfish child.
