"No buts. The task we received was just to record her whereabouts after leaving school, 'recording' rather than 'interfering'! Did you write down the fact that she entered the Gini Cabin?"
Not far from Zhu Si, at the corner of a grocery store at No. 27 Gudiao Street, two wizards in black robes were arguing quietly but fiercely.
They were similar in stature, and they all wore wide hoods. Their faces could not be seen clearly, and their entire bodies were hidden in the shadows of the corners, blurry, as if a gust of wind could blow them away.
Any wizard who is good at tracking and hunting can see here that these two wizards have used a very clever concealment magic, so even if a North District wizard is carrying a bag of frogs a few steps away,
He looked around vigilantly as he passed by, but did not cast any suspicious eyes on this corner.
"I have written it down," after hearing his companion's rhetorical question, the wizard who spoke first was slightly weaker, but stubbornly repeated: "But..."
"'But' has nothing to do with us."
His companion interrupted patiently but impatiently: "Taking a step back, assuming that the Rat Immortal is really staying in the Gini Cabin now, why should we go in? Give tea to the legendary boss? Can we be smarter...
…We are just two small registered wizards, and we only received the simplest low-level mission, so we don’t need to cause trouble for ourselves.”
The four words "Legendary Boss" are more convincing than any unnecessary words.
The shadows in this corner were quiet for a moment.
Only the faint rustling of the quill tip as it scratched the parchment could be heard.
After a moment, the first wizard spoke again and sighed softly: "... Great Sage Kolma and Lecturer Zhu Si look to be about the same age... I wonder what they will talk about."
"Curiosity killed the cat." The companion said disapprovingly: "When performing tasks, we need to use our brains, but we cannot use our brains... In addition, according to the instructions in the task book, there is a big age difference between the two of them, but it is only the lecturer Zhu Si.
The situation is special, so the two people seem to have similar temperaments."
…
…
Zhu Si didn't know that there were two little tails suffixed behind her.
Or maybe she knows but doesn't care.
After all, even she herself didn't quite know what she was doing in this hut. The wizards' inspiration - which could also be called 'whim' - was in most cases the result of the passive function of their divination abilities.
Just like 'the cicada wakes up before the golden wind moves', the cicada has already noticed the clues before the autumn wind rises. Of course, the clues are not so detailed that she can predict the origin of this 'Kini's Magic House'.
The witch stood in front of the white walls and black tiles, silently looking at the two-story building with a simple shape, focusing on the small garden outside the building for a moment.
There are several cherry blossom trees in the garden that are growing extremely well. Although it is late autumn, under the influence of magic, those few cherry blossoms are still blooming very wantonly, blooming in the night with an imposing momentum that is hard to ignore.
Yes, momentum.
Zhu Si felt that it was difficult for him to use words to describe the appearance of those cherry blossoms in bloom.
Jingle Bell!
The witch raised her head and looked around, only to see the copper bell hanging on the arch-shaped gate automatically swaying gently without wind, making a series of crisp sounds.
Squeak.
The door opened, and a tall witch stuck her head out, curiously looking at the visitors outside. Since Kolma became a great wizard, there have been very few unannounced guests in the Gini Cabin - especially this guest.
He was even invited in by the great sage.
Zhu Si frowned slightly.
She noticed the undulating magic power fluctuations on the witch's body. It was not weak, but it gave people an erratic feeling like duckweed water. Moreover, she also noticed a few strands of silver in the witch's hair, which exuded a
Dead colors.
"welcome."
The person who opened the door politely gave up his seat.
Zhu Si thought for a few seconds, smiled casually, and walked in. This was a choice made by old-school wizards. They believed in their own inspiration more than detailed and careful plans.
After passing the main entrance, they walked half a circle around the white courtyard wall. The two finally stopped in front of a half-open wooden door on the first floor. There was no door god hanging on the door, and there were no couplets on the left and right sides of the door frame. Everything was revealed from top to bottom.
A smell called shabby.
Zhu Si remembered the nameplate outside the gate, which said that the first floor was a place called the "Sakura Tavern", and she thought that this should be the Laoshizi Tavern.
Boom, boom, boom.
The guide knocked on the door politely - in Zhu Si's opinion, this was purely a matter of taking off his pants and farting. Through the gap between the half-closed door, she had already seen the bar in the house shrouded in bright light, and
The tall witch with silver hair sitting behind the bar.
tall and big?
Zhu Si raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on the magic waves rippling around the witch, and he had some more guesses in his heart.
"Please come in."
A slightly hoarse voice came from in front of the bar: "Catherine, go up and tell them that magic practice needs to be in moderation... It's already very late today, let them all go back."
"Yes, Great Sage." The witch who led the way bowed respectfully outside the door, left the guests beside her, turned around and left quietly without any hesitation.
North District, Great Sage, a familiar yet unfamiliar name immediately appeared in Zhu Si's mind. Familiar because she had heard the deeds of this great wizard with a 'legendary' experience more than once after returning to school;
She said she was unfamiliar because she had never dealt with this great wizard before.
Creak.
The guest pushed the door open on his own and walked in. After getting rid of the night outside, his eyes suddenly became a little brighter. Several thick magic candles were hung upside down under the wooden beams, and the melted wax oil clung to the candle wicks, trembling, and was covered by a trace of
Breathing in the burning flames, it turns into light and spreads throughout the room.
Except for the silver-haired witch, there was no one else in the tavern.
"In the past, the Sakura Tavern could only raise fireflies."
Seemingly noticing the customer's gaze, the witch in front of the bar tilted her head, propped up her chin, and explained lazily: "And saying 'you can afford it' is putting your face on the line... because those light bugs used to suck."
Dew comes in the morning and evening, and a little bit of bad wine spilled by the guests survives... so the light here is always dark... Now that we have money, we can light magic candles, and light several at a time. For no other reason than
It looks bright and feels comfortable."
What she said was interesting, and Zhu Si was also interesting to listen to.
However, the guest still did not make a sound, but continued to look up and down the layout of the room, looking at the great sage of the North District, Kolma, who was far away but very close to him.
