Chapter 2295 Haha Beads on the Edge

“Are these?”

The witch followed Zheng Qing's gaze and picked it off and threw it into the hand of the male witch: "A few haha ​​beads, a small thing my cousin gave me at Christmas... An ancient alchemy doll... If you encounter a tricky but not very powerful opponent in the hunting ground, smash them out and turn them into alchemy dolls to help you entangle the enemy. But don't have too much hope, their resistance to magic is limited, far less than your minota. I even think that edamame can beat them three at one."

Zheng Qing shook the small light golden beads in the palm of his hand, weighed them, and felt a little weight. After careful examination, they looked like little people curled up together and laughed.

No wonder it is called 'haha beads'.

"It's so interesting. I've never seen such a little thing before." He praised sincerely, and at the same time, he kicked the furry gray-skinned dog at his feet that had come out of nowhere after hearing his name: "...Get out quickly, don't come to this shop, be careful of being caught and peeled!"

This is by no means an exaggeration. Zheng Qing had already vaguely felt that the figures in black cloaks were casting curious eyes at the dogs at the feet of the two.

Edamo whimpered, wagging her tail happily, wandered around the witch for a while, and then disappeared into the shadows in the corner between the bar and the wall.

"Sorry, I forgot its habit." A trace of apologies flashed in the witch's eyes, and then happily added: "So, as compensation, these haha ​​beads will be given to you..."

Zheng Qing suddenly felt that a few small beads in his palm became particularly hot.

"Your butter beer, no sugar!" The multi-armed waiter pushed two big glasses to the witch.

"Thanks."

The witch took the cup, turned to look at the boy with a tangled face, raised her chin slightly, and signaled: "...you go and play with the boys, don't let them scold me quietly behind their backs."

"I..." Zheng Qing opened his mouth.

"I can't use this kind of gadget for the time being, but you may be able to use it when you hunt in two days." The witch directly interrupted the boy's attempt to refuse, adding: "The designated tasks for the registered hunting team by the alliance are not simple, even if Yuzui is a hunting team composed of students in school... If you feel sorry for it, just give me a rich gift."

Zheng Qing opened his mouth slowly closed and nodded vigorously.

The witch smiled slightly, waved her hand, and turned around and left leisurely.

cough.

Ahem.

A few deliberate and depressing low coughs made the young public student come to his senses. Zheng Qing's eyes reluctantly moved away from the witch's back and looked at a guy making noise.

"Do you need a little cough syrup?" He looked displeased.

Xiao Xiao touched his neck and refused politely: "Thank you, I feel much better, I don't need it for the time being...but you... Although I'm sorry, I just vaguely heard the word "Spring Festival"... Are you planning to celebrate the New Year with the squad leader after completing the task?"

The hunting team task designated by the league has not been confirmed yet, so it would be a bit extravagant to talk about completing the task.

"Eavesdropping is a bad habit, especially for fortune tellers. Be careful of pus flowing in your ears after going to bed at night." Zheng Qing glanced at him, raised the wine glass in his hand, and took a sip: "... As for the New Year and other things, so what, so what, not?"

"Whether it is or isn't, I recommend you lie in the school hospital during the Chinese New Year, just like last summer vacation."

Dr. Xiao Da held his glasses and gave his own opinions sincerely: "Otherwise, I am worried that our hunting team will change its captain after the New Year... If you spend the New Year with the captain, you will be assassinated."

The young public-funded student sneered and disagreed: "It's not that serious! During the Chinese New Year, those fanatical fans should also calm down for a few days... and Jiang Yu and I are just friends..."

"It's useless for you to explain this to me."

Xiao Xiao rolled his eyes and said in the simplest words: "In addition, the first day of the first lunar month this year is Valentine's Day on February 14th, the Gregorian calendar. Don't tell me that you have never seen the old calendar."

Zheng Qing was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly thought of the "rich gift" he had promised before, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice. This means that he had at least double blood during the Chinese New Year.

The short witch obviously misunderstood something. She stood on tiptoe and patted Zheng Qing on the shoulder with pity.

"Think about it..."

"Have the alliance designated mission confirmed?"

Zheng Qing changed the topic and did not want to get involved with anyone celebrating the New Year with. He thought of what Jiang Yu mentioned just now: "I remember you submitted relevant materials on Yuzui to the school hunting committee last week... I heard that sometimes the student hunting team will encounter very troublesome tasks?"

"Well, today is Wednesday, and we should be able to receive a notice before Friday at the latest." Xiao Xiao calculated and added: "... Then we have about two to three weeks to complete the task. Indeed, although the formal hunting team composed of students in school has a lot of room for negotiation in terms of task selection and difficulty, sometimes, in order to maintain a certain 'fairness in word of mouth', the school will deliberately choose more difficult tasks for students... In particular, most of our members still belong to Jiuyou Academy."

The spirit of Jiuyou Academy is justice and equality.

Zheng Qing sighed deeply and raised the wine glass in his hand: "I hope everything goes well."

bite!

"Everything goes well." Xiao Xiao clinked his cups.

"By the way...what gift would you give Sima? During the Chinese New Year." Zheng Qing siped off the warm wine from the cup, and two blush appeared on his face again, unconsciously returning to the previous topic.

"A bouquet of flowers is always indispensable." Xiao Xiao's tone was also a little uncertain: "As for the others... it depends on the situation. I hope I can get some good things in this hunting mission."

Zheng Qing pinched the haha ​​beads with a hint of warmth in his palm, nodded with consent, then took out a piece of letter paper and a quill pen, and hurriedly wrote a memo.

The memo was folded into a light green paper crane and stuffed into a gray cloth bag - this is a new little magic trick he has learned recently. Paper cranes can be used as memos. They will accurately crawl out of the bag when the scheduled time comes, reminding the wizard not to forget the previous arrangements by pecking his ears or other means.

After finishing everything, I turned around and found that Xiao Xiao was looking up at the ceiling with his head raised.

"What are you looking at?"

"I saw a crow flying into the ceiling from the second floor." Xiao Xiao pointed to his head. Zheng Qing looked in the direction of his finger and saw candlelight like the real starry sky. The dark ceiling seemed to have no substance, swallowing everything, giving people a feeling of distant and lonely.

He didn't see the crow that Xiao Xiao mentioned.
