What Colma brings to the Northern District magicians is more than just the identity of a Northern District wizard.
Because of her, all businessmen in the wizarding world can foresee that there will be less and less cheap labor with some magical ability in the market. Correspondingly, black intermediaries like the short wizard can also predict that there will be less and less cheap labor in the market.
'Experimental' magicians will also be in short supply.
Therefore, in recent times, the short wizard's colleagues have been attacking from all sides, constantly 'forcing contracts' with the North District magicians who have not yet obtained the curse seal, to prepare for the coming 'cold winter'.
In fact, it is a form of "hunting" - except that the prey is a wizard and the hunter is also a wizard.
"We just came out of the Gini Hut!" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows and reminded.
He didn't think the two dark wizards in front of him had the guts to challenge a great wizard.
It is true that there are many dark wizards who have damaged their brains due to practicing forbidden magic, but after all, they are only a minority. Most wizards are still very self-aware.
Zheng Qing felt that it might just be a misunderstanding.
On the one hand, in order to keep a low profile, he and Jiang Yu both wore gray robes today and looked like two neat magicians.
On the other hand, there was a small flying frog lying on Zheng Qing's shoulder - this was a slightly mutated frog with a pair of weak wings under its ribs. It had been captured by the wizard of the North District and prepared to be used as a sacrifice.
When Zheng Qing walked out of the Gini hut, he happened to see the frog staring at him with its big watery eyes. He felt soft and took it out, preparing to release it to Linzhong Lake.
Wearing a gray robe and bringing one of the most popular frogs in the North District as a pet, it is not surprising that the dark wizard in front of him recognized him as a magician and wanted to force a contract.
"Indeed." The short wizard adjusted his wide sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and grinned: "But didn't you come out with bare foreheads?"
Zheng Qing thought for a moment and immediately came back to his senses.
These dark wizards are indeed not stupid - because of Korma, they will not hunt down the North District magicians at will, but choose those magicians who are not 'welcome' in the Gini Cabin.
A very simple way to judge whether you are 'popular' is to see if you can receive a curse seal after entering the Gini Hut. If a man in gray robe enters No. 33 Gu Diao Street with a bare forehead, and his forehead is still as smooth when he comes out, then
It is very likely that he is not favored by great sages.
Of course, there may be some misjudgments in this judgment.
But compared with randomly catching people in the North District with your eyes closed, the possibility of such misjudgment is much smaller. It must be admitted that wizards who can survive in the dark world where fish and dragons are mixed have their own unique survival philosophy.
"We are not magicians." Zheng Qing emphasized with a dark face.
"I understand, I understand." The short wizard sighed and comforted in a tone of experience: "Good magicians are in high demand...and it is difficult to live long. But business is business. Come and go,
You'll get used to it."
The flat tone made the two young wizards shiver.
"This is Phuket Island, the territory of First University. There is still a great wizard in charge of the North District... Aren't you afraid of being thrown into a black prison for trampling on the "Wizard Code" like this?"
The two dark wizards looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Death?" The tall and lanky man among them tugged on the brim of his pointed hat and replied politely: "Everyone has been running in the direction of death since birth... We have been dying and never stopped."
"Fear cannot prevent death from coming," the pudgy wizard added.
Zheng Qing finally gave up arguing with these two lunatics, took out his Dharma book from the gray cloth bag, opened the book cover, then raised his arm, letting the light blue magic halo flow out of the book, and said seriously:
"Now, let us summarize the central idea of what you just said."
"Put your hands up!"
The two dark wizards looked at the glowing book and looked at each other.
They all raised their hands.
The easy victory gave Zheng Qing a strong sense of unreality. So much so that he was not ready for what to do next - he was already ready to recite a spell.
Should he be tied up and sent to the Trident Sword, or should he be handed over to the school pickets? Zheng Qing looked at the witch beside him with questioning eyes.
Jiang Yu was also a little embarrassed. She bit her lip and shook her head, indicating that she couldn't make up her mind either.
When the two young wizards hesitated, the short and fat wizard opposite spoke again:
"Are you really not a magician?"
His tone was full of annoyance and frustration, mixed with a bit of a flattering expression, which made Zheng Qing marvel at the sophistication of the human face, which could contain such rich content in a small area of skin.
"From what angle do you think we are magicians..."
The dwarf turned his attention to the little frog on Zheng Qing's shoulder. The frog puffed up its mouth and spat a pink bubble at the dwarf wizard.
Paji.
The short wizard smiled awkwardly: "Well... then, since this matter is just a misunderstanding... let's all be peaceful and keep it private, okay? We'll pay... two golden beans as compensation for offending the wizard."
"Do you think we are only worth two golden beans?" the wizard was displeased.
He has decided to hand these two guys over to the Trident Sword.
After all, the school is not a law enforcement agency, so it might be merciful to them.
"Three golden beans... no more. We have very little money. If we had money, who would do such a capitalless business?"
"It has nothing to do with money." The boy said with a straight face, rejecting the other party's peaceful proposal.
The pudgy wizard sighed heavily.
"So, I hate dealing with students in school." He muttered and shook his head.
Before reciting the binding spell, Zheng Qing suddenly thought that these guys walking in the sewers were always well-informed and might know Dahei's whereabouts. So he stopped what he was doing.
"Have you hunted a black goat lately?"
The wizard made a very serious gesture of Dahei's size and appearance, and added: "If I can provide you with effective clues, I will put in a good word for you when I hand you over to the Three-pronged Sword."
The tall and thin wizard twitched his lips.
The short wizard showed an ambiguous smile.
"I've never seen it before." He licked his lips and winked at Zheng Qing: "...but we can help get such a black goat. Make sure it is smooth and has a soft temper."
"The tastes of the children in school are getting more and more serious," the tall dark wizard sighed, and his eyes fell on the witch beside him: "I never knew what fun there was in goats or wild boars... flowers
Isn’t the girl beautiful?”
Zheng Qing closed his eyes - isn't it good to be alive - he held a second of silence for the dark wizard in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the witch classmate next to him yelling in anger:
