“There weren’t many customers in the shop at noon. This bald man entered the shop and hung around for a while. When he was the only customer left in the shop, he suddenly got angry and knocked down a few of us with a few spells.”
“Then we watched helplessly as he stuffed Tink Ears into the bag. At that moment, Tink Ears and a few cats who were stocking goods in the warehouse at the back came back and scared the robber away.”
"Almost at the same time, the doctor broke free from the binding spell and chased after him..."
Hu Wu spoke quickly and described his experience in the store to Robert Lee. Ding Dong Er and several cats were close to Ding Dong Er, looking around cautiously, as if he wanted to leave but didn't dare.
Fatty Xin came back out of nowhere and squeezed in between Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao, holding his notebook and quill, with an excited expression as if he had caught big news.
Zheng Qing glanced at the fat man, resisted the urge to beat him up, and looked at Xiao Xiao: "Why did you stay in the store for so long? Didn't you just check the account?"
“There’s not much stock in the store.”
Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses: "Originally, we sold Linzhong Lake fishmen and the Rat Tribe's specialties, but you all know what's going on with the Rat Tribe now. Their shelves have been empty for quite some time... I checked the accounts in the store today.
At that time, I heard that there was a batch of mutton oil for sale at the Wandering Bar opposite, so I went over and sat there for a while and took pictures of them, which took a lot of time."
As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. After hearing the doctor's explanation, Zheng Qing and Fatty Xin focused on two completely different directions.
“Suet fat?”
Fatty Xin’s eyes lit up, and his whole face seemed to be glowing: “If there is mutton fat, then mutton meat is naturally available! Do they sell mutton meat? How much does it cost? Cooked meat or raw meat?”
While speaking, he swallowed hard, and there was a suspicious transparent liquid shining at the corner of his mouth.
“The wandering bar is still open?”
Zheng Qing was very interested in the other name mentioned by the doctor. He frowned and asked: "The Dark Parliament caused such a big thing in the Black Prison battlefield, and the wandering wizard hasn't run away yet?"
Xiao Xiao leaned back and looked left and right, not knowing which one to answer first.
After a long while, he thought about it and answered Zheng Qing's confusion: "After the black tide ended, Wandering Bar was actually closed for a while, but it reopened more than half a month ago... But I didn't see him today either.
, there are only a few multi-armed waiters in the store... On the surface, the announcement issued by Beta Town is that Wandering Bar pays taxes according to regulations, and the store operation is legal and compliant..."
When these words came out, several listeners, including Zheng Qing, curled their lips in unison. If the "underground market" wandering bar, which is somewhat famous in the entire wizarding world, can be considered a model of law-abiding, then Dan Hager should probably be
Canceled.
Perhaps he also felt that the official statement was too funny. Xiao Xiao shook his head and did not repeat it completely. He changed the subject and expressed his judgment: "...but according to the information I heard in Wandering Bar, there is a high probability that the school has something to do with
The Dark Council reached some agreement, so the Wandering Bar continues to remain."
Fatty Xin sniffed and said scornfully: "Is this why you drank Amber Light in broad daylight?"
"You can't just ask others for information." At this point, Xiao Xiao seemed to have remembered something, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and stuffed it into Hu Wu's arms.
Hu Wu was answering the Sheriff's inquiry. He didn't react for a moment and took it blankly.
"What?" Zheng Qing vaguely saw that there seemed to be the Wandering Bar's emblem on the note.
"Reimbursement voucher." Xiao Xiao wiped the corner of his mouth and said seriously: "Whether I help purchase goods or inquire about information, I can't pay for it alone... Don't worry, I will raise this matter at the hunting team meeting. It is absolutely compliant."
Zheng Qing has no doubt about this - although he always feels that Xiao Xiao's behavior is for private use of public funds, but it is not the time to ponder these details for a moment.
“I also have bills that I want to reimburse.” The fat man looked at this scene with envy.
Xiao Xiao waved his hand and wrote lightly: "No problem, as long as the reason is sufficient and the purpose is reasonable, I will reimburse you after it is approved at the hunting team's plenary meeting."
The fat man sighed heavily, and the quill in his hand showed a bit of listlessness. He did not have the eloquence and popularity of a doctor, and the idea of eating and drinking with public funds was cut off as soon as he sprouted.
"Are sheep rare?" Zheng Qing looked at the fat man's depressed expression and thought of his previous question.
“Not very rare, but certainly rare.”
The fat man pricked up his ears to capture the gossip around him and recorded it in his notebook, while briefly answering Zheng Qing's question: "Magical creatures originating from Qian Lai Mountain, the school introduced a batch of them in the Silent Forest... they look like sheep, but have long
The meat of a horse's tail is fresh and tender, and the oil can remove wrinkles. Many witches like to use mutton oil as a base to prepare their own cosmetics."
Xiao Xiao said: "It is said that this batch of sheep oil from Wandering Bar was extracted from a group of sheep that died outside the town when the black tide hit some time ago. Their bones and flesh have been taken away by several wealthy families in the West District."
There are many villas of powerful wizard families in the west area of Beta Town, and Qingqiu Mansion is among them. When he heard that the mutton had been taken away by the wizard over there, the fat man sighed, knowing that he had no hope.
"It turns out it can remove wrinkles... no wonder." Zheng Qingze suddenly understood why Xiao Xiao wanted to buy this batch of suet oil. Because they had discussed in private many times that the easiest and most profitable business on the entire pedestrian street was with witches.
related.
"I also want mutton fat!" Li Meng heard the word 'wrinkle removal' from the side, and immediately became interested. He stretched out his hand to Xiao Xiao without any courtesy: "First two or three kilograms, let me take a look.
Effect."
“You’re so young, why should you use mutton oil?” Zheng Qing pushed the little witch’s arm away impatiently.
Xiao Xiao tilted his head and glanced at her. At the same time, he looked at Su Ya who was holding Poseidon and Zhu Si who was standing boredly behind a few people.
"Why are they here?" He turned around and looked at Zheng Qing in surprise.
Zheng Qing rolled his eyes.
He didn’t know how to answer this question.
Before he could think of what to say, he heard a few "chichi" sounds like a balloon deflating from the space next to him, and immediately four or five figures appeared in sequence.
Some of them wore black robes, some wore gray robes, and a few wore red robes and white robes - Zheng Qing could easily tell that those black robes had the badge of the three-pronged sword on their chests, and the gray robe was the school janitor.
They are members of the committee, and the seniors and seniors in red and white robes must belong to the school patrol team.
But I don’t know why they arrived at the scene so late.
