Chapter 39 The Hedgehog Cat

 The disappearance of Lin Guo’s black goat did not cause much turmoil in First University.

At the First University right now, there are too many more important things attracting the attention of students - the conflict between Jiuyou and Alpha, the internal debate in Atlas, the unrestricted fighting match at Starry Sky Academy, the bloody Nicholas, Lei Zhe

The outcome of the incident with Augustus, the new sacrificial wizard who appeared in the North District of Beta Town, a certain student union vice-president who quietly advanced to the Grand Wizard, etc.

Slightly less advanced are the Linzhong Lake Fishman Tribe, the Centaurs Tribe still stranded outside Alpha Castle, and the Underground Rat Tribe who have been a little restless recently due to the disappearance of the Rat Immortal. They are also mentioned in the Beta Town Post or the school newspaper.

Frequent customer.

In comparison, a black sheep that has temporarily lost its trace seems a bit insignificant - compared to a certain small animal, the school's newspapers and gossips may pay more attention to the love story of a certain chief student - in addition, every year, secretly

There are anywhere from 100 to 80 pets that have wandered away for months. It is impossible for the school to organize a search team for every pet that has been missing for a short period of time, or waste the precious energy of professional diviners.

"Don't be anxious, wait patiently for a few days," the wizard on duty from the school working committee harmoniously comforted Lin Guo, and said with a smile: "Perhaps in a few days you will find that your sheep has returned to the petting zoo, with a group of people behind it.

Little lamb... It's still late spring, and it's very common for animals to forget their owners after they go into heat."

This answer was a bit narrow-minded, and Zheng Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, this kind of thing has happened before." The wizard on duty said to the two young people seriously: "Some time ago, a hedgehog from Starry Sky Academy brought a group of kittens back to the petting zoo..."

"A hedgehog with a kitten?" Lin Guo's attention was immediately diverted by this strange statement.

Zheng Qing sighed silently in his heart. He was still too young to have the topic changed so easily.

But he was also very interested in the story of the wizard on duty, and quietly pricked his ears.

"...Yes, the fur on those kittens is exactly the same as the thorns on the hedgehog. They are almost carved from the same mold. They are the species of that hedgehog at first glance."

"But how could a hedgehog give birth to a cat?" Lin Guo still couldn't understand.

"Hedgehog cat, haven't you heard of it?" The wizard on duty raised an index finger and shook it at the little wizard: "A very rare magical creature, a hybrid species, chubby, very cute, and like a velvet cat.

They are two extremes... You can't expect to know all the magical creatures in the wizarding world, even the great wizards at the school's Institute of Magical Creatures can't do it."

"But cats and hedgehogs...are reproductively isolated." The little wizard was troubled by this explanation - it seemed that he was very concerned about his big black sheep bringing back a group of lambs with wings or gills.

"With magic, everything is possible." The wizard on duty raised his chin confidently and nodded.

"That is to say, the school working committee has no way to open a case to investigate the disappearance of Black Sheep, right?" Zheng Qing forcibly changed the topic to the right path.

Lin Guo immediately looked eagerly at the wizard on duty.

The school janitor in gray robe glanced at the young public-funded student and sighed: "This isn't the first time you've asked this, right... If I remember correctly..."

As he spoke, he flipped through the folder in his hand:

"...Well, if I remember correctly, you contacted the school working committee some time ago because a pet snake went missing. Since then, the school working committee's handling of related cases has not changed in any way."

"But it turns out that something happened to the snake... You should be more active in this matter." Zheng Qing suddenly felt that he needed to complain to the student union about the slow and bureaucratic style of the school working committee -

—Exercising the power of supervision is the responsibility and obligation of every publicly funded student.

The wizard on duty blinked and closed the folder in his hand.

"We will seriously consider your suggestion." He replied dryly, then stared at the two young people in front of him with a pair of dull eyes, as if he had suffered from aphasia for a moment.

The duty room fell into an embarrassing silence for a moment.

Zheng Qing coughed, pulled Lin Guo and walked out: "In this case... I'll trouble you all. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, this is what we should do." The wizard on duty seemed to suddenly wake up from hibernation, and his eyes moved a little - but that was all, he didn't even get up to say goodbye.

The two classmates left and quickly closed the folders in front of them.

It was noon when I left the school working committee office.

It rained in the morning, and the sun did not come out, always hiding behind the clouds. The air was warm and the breeze was so comfortable that one couldn't help but stretch out and immediately forget about the unpleasant experience just now.

After stretching, Zheng Qing took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

There was a small stain on the transparent glass case of the pocket watch, like the marinade splashed by Fatty Xin when he ate chicken legs. Zheng Qing let out a distressed sigh and rubbed it with his sleeve.

Great, the stain has been wiped away.

The wizard breathed a sigh of relief - he hoped that he would be able to use this pocket watch to travel through the long river of history in the future. So he must cherish it now.

The hands on the dial indicate that it is now 1:20 p.m.

There were still more than half an hour before the afternoon class. After lunch today, he accompanied Lin Guo to the school working committee office to 'report the case', queued up, filled out forms, and waited. Coupled with the nutritious conversation just now, it was all...

The noon time slipped away so unconsciously.

The wizard doubted that he would 'accidentally' fall asleep again in the afternoon class.

"There are still classes in the afternoon, so I won't send you to Alpha Castle." After Zheng Qing sent Lin Guo to the cat fruit tree, he yawned and explained to the little wizard - in order to prevent Lin Guo from feeling lonely, he also walked from the tree

He called down the forest cat and gave it to the little wizard as a companion.

"...You go back with it, the school is very safe." After saying that, Zheng Qing patted Lin Guo on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry about Dahei, all the members of the Exorcist are helping you. Doctor

I have been thinking about a new divination method for the past two days, maybe there will be good news... Also, Senior Sister Kolma from the Gini Cabin has also said hello to the wizard in the North District. As long as Dahei appears in the North District, we will

You can definitely know."

Lin Guo pursed his lips and nodded vigorously: "I will attend class well!"

Zheng Qing was very satisfied with the little wizard's answer:

"I have a fish-man common language class in the afternoon. The professor is an old fish-man. It is said that he is also the elder of the Linzhong Lake fish-man tribe. I will ask him to ask in Linzhong Lake... As long as Dahei has been in Linzhong Lake.

It has been around Zhonghu Lake, and it will definitely not escape the eyes of those magical creatures in the lake."
