After watching Zheng Qing leave the Cherry Blossom Tavern, Colma did not go upstairs to attend the celebration of the Forbidden Demon Festival in the Gini House, but still sat behind the bar, picked up a Siren Rum, took a new cup, and drank it in the dim light.
My lips were soon drunk and blue.
She drank very slowly but didn't care.
Because her eyes were always behind the young wizards who had just left, she looked at Zheng Qing whispering and suspicious of herself, watched the fat wizard pick up the goat eye juice and hesitated, watched the three of them leave the cart, stepped on a bluestone slab wet with water vapor, and suddenly disappeared from the streets of the North District.
Several pedestrians were slightly frightened, but more people just took a little attention and threw the strangeness behind them. After all, this is Bouga Island, and the three young wizards who just disappeared were all wearing red robes.
In the entire northern area, who doesn’t know what the red robe means?
Not to mention that they suddenly disappeared, even if the three wizards turned into three toads on the spot, the people in the north would only show their envy and take a detour.
Colma glanced at the rum in her hand, and there was still half a bottle left, then glanced at the wine cabinet beside her, hesitating whether to take another one out - although she intuition told her not to care about the little business of the young wizards, out of some inexplicable feeling, she finally sat here, intending to watch until the end.
That's right, just watching.
She has decided not to easily interfere with any development. The most profound understanding given to her in her career as a great wizard in the past year is her vision - because she stands high enough and sees far enough, she clearly knows that any slight change now may make the beautiful future she sees disappear.
Just like the North District Wizard Hunter that died in the Silent Forest last week.
She actually foresaw their tragedy, but at the same time, she also foresaw that it was this tragedy that the darkness hidden deep in the silent forest would be alerted by the school, and then it would have a lasting and severe impact on the Fringe College of the New Students in the near future.
That influence is a good thing for the North District Wizard.
So, she will not stop the tragedy from happening.
“For greater good.”
She raised the wine glass in her hand to the air in front of her, her eyes slightly dim, and then the mouth of the glass tilted, and the blue wine liquefied into a thin line and poured on the clean bar, leaving an ugly, wet mark.
When she poured wine.
She didn't know that in Sanyou Bookstore, a few blocks away, the owner of the bookstore was talking to a yellow flower raccoon about her fear, her karma, and her spiritual flaws.
Similarly, she didn't notice that the head of an uninvited guest suddenly appeared in the shadows under the bar.
This uninvited guest had a big fist, fat body, short limbs, round ears and dark eyes, and covered with furry ochre-colored skin. At first glance, he looked like a guinea pig, but his cheeks were mumbled, and he looked like a hamster, but he had no tail - in short, he was a very strange mouse.
It was not until the mouse climbed up to the bar along the table legs that the witch was stunned to notice the uninvited guest. His expression changed slightly in a very short time, and finally turned into silence.
"It's a pity that a good Siren Rum, it's a slight pity to fall on the table." The fat hamster, also known as Fei Rui, had a slightly twitching nose, his voice a little hoarse, and his chestnut-shaped face was covered with a color called fatigue.
Colma took out a small cup from under the table and poured a glass of wine for the uninvited guest, but still said nothing.
"This is the real way to treat guests."
The guest commented in an old-fashioned manner, picked up the wine glass with his claws, gulped several times, and then wiped his mouth with unsatisfactory pleasure: "It would be even more wonderful if I could get a few spicy jerky beef or vinegar-marinated chicken feet... Fried peanuts are also OK."
Then it encouraged to look at the tavern owner.
The witch looked at it silently.
The two sides looked at each other for a long time, and the young witch was a little inferior and spoke first: "The tavern has not opened yet, so there are no snacks. If it were earlier, the guests in front of you might have some dried fruits."
"I don't want to meet with your other guests." The fat hamster replied slickly.
The witch frowned, finally pondered and said slowly: "If you don't want to meet someone else, you shouldn't come to my tavern. It will be of no benefit to everyone when you come to me at this time..."
"I don't want to come either."
Fei Rui spread his little paws, and the two of them squeezed out a trace of innocence: "But the old mouse is a little worried about you, so I asked me to talk to you... I thought you would ask me about His current situation as soon as you met, but I didn't expect that you, a little girl, was so affectionate! He treated you as a daughter!"
It stroked the beard at its mouth and was verbose.
When Colma mentioned the three words "Old Mouse", his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously glanced out the window. There was no figure in the empty yard, only a few pink cherry blossoms slowly fell on the branches in the breeze.
After the Black Prison War last year, the Rat Immortal was one of the few high-level wizards who made profits from that war. However, because he had lost too much of his origins earlier, its advancement process seemed extremely difficult. To this day, although the big figures in the league vaguely realized that He had advanced to the legend, because He never showed up, there were some rumors quietly circulating.
A new legend who may be in trouble is not only a nourishing medicine in the eyes of high-level demons, but also a very great temptation for many wizards in the same alliance camp.
Colma didn't know if the justice and order of the alliance could block the temptation, but she knew very well that neither she nor the new North District Wizards had the ability to get involved in this level of struggle.
Ignorance is the strongest guardian spell.
She took a deep breath, withdrew her gaze, and looked at the little hamster on the table expressionlessly.
"If He had the energy, he could care more about His biological daughter... People like us, the northern part of the country, have long been used to being abandoned." There was a little alienation inside and outside.
Fei Rui smacked his lips.
“So I hate being a family mediator.”
It scratched its chin with annoyance, but said patiently: "Don't be so scared, I'm here, and the old rat is naturally prepared for it and will not cause you trouble... By the way, the old man asks me to tell you something - be a little bit of a newcomer's aura."
"What?" Colma really didn't understand this time.
“Do you know ‘newbie luck’?”
After Fei Rui asked back, he did not wait for the witch to speak, and replied to himself: "The situations that are often encountered in hunting competitions. Those young hunters who participated in the competition for the first time looked not professional and even a little amateur, but because their goals are firm enough, their beliefs are simple enough, and their will is sufficient, they often get unexpected good results. In the two fields of great wizards or sages, you are a novice. So, show some of the momentum of newcomers, don't be as cautious as an old man."
Colma's mind changed drastically.
"He wants me to help them?" she asked vaguely.
"I don't know, don't ask me, it has nothing to do with me... This kind of thing should follow your original intention." Fei Rui denied the third consecutive year, but said in a reckless manner: "But I think it's not a bad thing to let that boy Zheng Qing learn some lesson!"
