Zheng Qing was hungry again.
He took out the leftover bacon sandwich he had eaten in the afternoon from the gray cloth bag, and while chewing it, he hurried along the path to Gusuo Street in the North District of Beta Town, constantly complaining about the bad road conditions in his heart.
Before this year, the North District of Beta Town was a veritable "sunken area" on the entire Phuket Island. Not to mention the infrastructure, there were only a few clean and tidy streets. But with the emergence of the wizard in the North District, the sunken area has become a frog.
Area, the sunken part is slowly recovering, but the recovery speed is extremely slow.
Then the Edge College came into being, and the North District suddenly had a tendency to become the core area of Beta Town. It is said that after the establishment of the Edge College, the school will add several corridors connecting the North District to facilitate the exchange of students, but currently these corridors are still there.
No trace.
It's cloudy tonight and there's no moon.
Zheng Qing pulled the wide hood on his head to cover his face more tightly.
The guiding light balls summoned by '咒比小星' were like naughty fireflies, swinging fast and slow in front of the young wizard. Perhaps because of the late night, there were very few pedestrians on the street, but Zheng Qing was still cautious.
Holding his copperplate Dharma book, he activated an amulet at the same time.
Not only that, he also called Edamame over.
"Did Dongdong sleep?" The young assistant coach glanced around alertly, chewing the sandwich absentmindedly, and asked vaguely about the dog running around at his feet.
Since he arranged for the dog to serve as Dongdong's guard, he rarely called it during the day. At this time, he guessed that Poseidon had fallen asleep, so he temporarily called the dog to strengthen his courage.
"Meow~ow!"
The dog answered softly, his tail wagging happily, and his two bright eyes looked particularly clear in the night.
"Well, just sleep. It's time to sleep at this point... You don't have to follow so closely, just keep an eye on it for a little bit..." At this point, Zheng Qing paused, thinking of the chat he had with Su Shijun,
He added slightly worriedly: "By the way, you have to be careful about the big fox at home. If you get too close to Dongdong, she might catch you and castrate you! This is no joke!"
"Meow!"
Maodou immediately clamped his tail and whimpered aggrievedly.
"It doesn't matter if you stay away..."
Zheng Qing bent down and touched the dog's head comfortingly. Before he straightened up, he saw the gray hair on the back of the neck of the dog at his feet. He lowered himself and let out a whimpering warning sound in his throat.
The wizard didn't hesitate at all. He shook the string of haha beads tied around his wrist to the ground with a smooth swipe. At the same time, he opened the book of magic in his hand and cast a more powerful protective spell on himself:
"Jiebi Nanshan, Weishi Yanyan!"
Buzz!
The pale yellow curse light rose from the book, then fell, turning into a translucent phantom of the hill, firmly guarding the young wizard below. At the same time, seven pale golden figures were also covered by the curse light,
Throw forward.
There were a few faint shouts in the distance, which seemed to be from pedestrians passing by.
Zheng Qing had no intention of paying attention to the source of those screams. He just squinted his eyes and carefully looked at the darkest shadows in the night, trying to determine where the aura that made Maodou feel threatening came from.
"The response is good. He is indeed a qualified hunter."
Following this brisk voice, a tall figure walked out of the night and stopped not far in front of the wizard. He looked at the short alchemy dolls around him and added: "The dog is not bad either...
…It’s just that these dolls are almost meaningless.”
It's Colma.
Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to recall those haha beads.
"It would definitely be interesting if I still had the Order of Merlin." The young teaching assistant muttered, stroking a few beads on his wrist, and then glanced at the uninvited guest in front of him: "By the way, scary people can scare people to death.
Didn’t you agree to meet at the Sakura Tavern? Why did you suddenly come out?"
"The news has leaked."
The witch spread her hands insincerely, with an innocent look on her face: "Meeting with you tonight was something I temporarily inserted into my schedule, so several secretaries have seen it...and several of my secretaries will be attending Fringe College this semester...
...Well, maybe everyone is very interested in the teacher who is about to teach them, so they pass the news to two, and then to three... Somehow, the Beta Town Post found out... Now a lot of reporters are blocking the door of the pub, planning to
Ambushing you."
Although she said it tactfully, Zheng Qing knew that what she called 'somehow' must have been a certain North District wizard who sold the news. For the original magicians, this behavior was understandable, but for
It seems a bit embarrassing for the current North District wizards.
"You should strengthen the internal discipline of the North District Wizarding Group." The boy considered and expressed his opinion.
"Take your time. They don't know yet how much respect a real wizard has for the rule of silence."
Kolma clasped his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the wizard's side. His voice was a little lazy: "Besides, isn't education the original intention of establishing Edge College?"
Zheng Qing suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
He was not sure whether it was because he was too close to the witch, or simply because an ordinary wizard had a stress reaction in the presence of a great wizard.
"So, do you have any opinions on my teaching plan?"
Zheng Qing immediately thought of his purpose tonight, but after questioning, he realized that he did not provide any teaching plan. He paused and added in time: "Of course, I haven't submitted the plan yet... because I have no experience...
I mean, Professor Monteria suggested that I start with the most basic talisman structure and teach them, what do you think?"
He finally remembered that the great wizard in front of him was his superior in name, and immediately became much more obedient and used honorifics.
Kolma did not answer Zheng Qing's question immediately.
Instead, she raised her hand and put it on his shoulder. Just like on the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, she took him a few steps forward. The night flashed by like a revolving lantern. In just a blink of an eye, the two of them arrived at the small room again.
Outside the pub.
Zheng Qing realized belatedly and finally remembered the conversation between the two that day.
——"How about teaching them magic?"
--"no problem!"
"When I promised you to teach them magic, you didn't tell me that you wanted me to be a teaching assistant." Zheng Qing scratched his head, feeling vaguely like he was being cheated: "I thought it was a form of mutual aid similar to the Gini Cabin.
What about volunteering?”
"Didn't I make it clear at the time?"
The witch asked insincerely, blinked, and then stretched out a finger to tap her temple, making a distressed look: "Ah, I'm sorry, after all, there are too many things to do in charge of a large family... But today I will take care of myself."
You come here not to miss the past, but to see how much happiness a little bit of hope can bring to them."
Ps, the part about the fifth day of the lunar month is Chapter 619, the fifth day of the lunar month.
