Thomas murmured, but a crisp sound from his hands was clicking. The small wooden box that had been holding on in front of him for a long time was finally opened. There was no jewelry blossoming like Zheng Qing imagined, nor did he have the tempting magic fluctuations.
“—Your idea is indeed very unique.”
The office owner smiled and shook his head, put his hand into the box, took out a ball of dusty stuff, and waved to Zheng Qing: "Come here and try it."
Zheng Qing had just tasted the beauty of tea at this moment. Hearing this, he quickly took a sip, put down the cup, got up and walked towards the desk.
"What's this?"
“Protective clothing.”
Thomas shook his hand and unfolded the gray thing, revealing an ordinary vest, explaining concisely: "You can understand that this is the armor worn by the wizard... made of materials such as mitral, dragon leather, horned silkworm skin, Gastrodia silk, greystone, shells, etc. There are many runes carved from moonstones. It not only resists most of the attacks of black magic and curses, but also hides your breath to the greatest extent and avoids being discovered while performing a mission."
While speaking, he put the vest on Zheng Qing.
Although it didn't look big, it was surprisingly quite weighty. Zheng Qing shrugged his shoulders, always feeling that the vest made his shoulders a little tighter.
Perhaps because the owner of this dress was not his, he thought to himself.
Then I saw Thomas take out two other equipment: "...this is the elbow guard and gloves."
This time, Thomas did not help. Zheng Qing took a lot of effort to put on his elbow guards and gloves properly, and his brows couldn't help but frown tighter.
"Can I still fight while wearing this?" He subconsciously complained.
In addition to the vest strangling his shoulders, the weight of the elbow guards and gloves was also somewhat unexpected, making him feel a little uncomfortable in his every move.
You know, his current physical strength is not comparable to that of an ordinary wizard. Even he feels it is a bit laborious. It is hard to imagine what kind of monster the original owner of this equipment is.
"Who said he was going to fight?"
Thomas seemed a little confused and shook his head and denied: "We are carrying out missions on Bougai Island, where there is a place where fighting is needed... Observation and analysis are the key points. In this case, concealment is more important than action ability."
"Do you still need to change your boots?"
Zheng Qing jumped around in the same place for a few times, familiar with the new equipment on her body, and always felt a little too heavy: "... Now you can tell me what the mission is tonight."
"Don't ask, you'll know after you go."
Thomas ignored the curiosity of the new assistant coach, but answered another question: "In addition, there are no boots, vests and elbow guards are enough, plus this cloak and facial mask... Have you notified your roommate?"
He changed the subject abruptly.
"Settlements? Xiao Xiao and the others? Why should I notify them?" Zheng Qing took the heavy cloak and was a little confused about Thomas' last question.
I don’t know what animal fur is used for this cloak, and it feels very good to touch. After being put on it, Zheng Qing felt a strange feeling that his breathing disappeared.
"Because this mission will most likely last for more than ten hours, or even dozens of hours. If you don't go back to sleep at night, aren't your roommates worried? Let's fly a paper crane for them."
After a brief explanation, Thomas seemed to see the boy's new concerns and immediately added: "Don't worry, it won't affect your work meeting tomorrow night."
As he said that, he pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a strange smile: "...I abducted you tonight is not within the scope of your counselor's permission."
The counselor of Astronomy Class 08-1 is Lao Yao. To Zheng Qing, Thomas's jokes are quite helpless.
This is normal.
He didn't continue to think about it.
I just took out a piece of letter paper and quickly wrote a letter, telling the doctor that he had a teaching assistant team task tonight and did not have to stay in the dormitory door. I would definitely be able to go back before the class meeting tomorrow, so I will do it.
After watching the paper crane stagger away from the office, Thomas suddenly waved his hand, brought Zheng Qing's cup of tea on the tea table, and reminded him: "Drink it quickly, the tea is cold... After drinking it, accompany me to move something."
He pointed to the small wooden box on the table.
Zheng Qing took the teacup, looked at it with surprise, and saw a steep ladder connecting a small, suspected to be a basement space, with a coffin-like thing placed inside.
"You just now..."
“A simple space magic and transformation techniques.”
Thomas fiddled with the brass turntable beside the box lock, and then the basement disappeared in front of Zheng Qing and turned into an ordinary box. Thomas moved the turntable back and the basement reappeared: "——It's very old and practical magic. I remember you took magic cosmology this semester? According to usual practice, there may be questions in the final exam paper that asks you to list the principles of space magic used in this type of box."
Zheng Qing silently wrote down this in his heart.
Thomas was the first to get into the box.
Zheng Qing watched a living person slowly disappear into a small wooden box little by little, and inexplicably flashed through his mind the magic performance he had seen before. He suddenly felt a little suspicious that how many of the performers really had such a magical small wooden box.
"Drink quickly, don't waste time!"
Thomas' head finally disappeared in front of the box, reminding the dazed new assistant coach.
Zheng Qing quickly suffocated the tea in his hand, moistened the dry throat, then put down the teacup, hurriedly followed Thomas, and crawled into the box.
...
...
“…The second position report, the target enters the office building.”
"...The report of the third position, no risk factors were found near the office building. The guardian array marked the 31 wizards within a radius of 500 meters, and their identities were all under verification."
"...The second position report, the target is to enter the third floor of the office building... and enter Thomas' office. The assistant teaching assistant office has anti-peeping magic, so it can only be judged that there are two wizards in the office.
"...The third position report, the identity verification of thirty-one wizards is valid, no risk factors are found... The guardian array feedback, no risk factors are found on the second and fourth floors of the office building... Captain, there are only three of us, do we need to monitor such a large range?"
Qian Doudou's expression slightly as she heard the complaint in her ears: "Don't talk nonsense. Most of your work is undertaken by the school's guardian magic circle. You only need to report the inspection scope and then feedback it to me. Is it that hard? If you have any other opinions on this task, you can apply for resignation to me after handing over the shift."
Guard No. 3 suddenly turned into a quail.
He just occasionally complained to the captain because of his good relationship with the captain, and showed his presence in front of another witch, but he didn't think about throwing away this well-paid task, not to mention that this task is said to be directly released by the vice principal's office. Even if there is no reward, a large group of people broke their heads and rushed to come.
"Wait! The target disappears! The target disappears!"
The voice of Witch No. 3 suddenly became rapid, interrupting the small friction in the guard: "Two life characteristics in Thomas' office disappeared one after another! Should urgent measures be taken immediately! Repeat, should urgent measures be taken immediately!"
