This year's Quanke is held on May 13th.
It coincides with Thursday.
This made Zheng Qing, who was taking five classes a day, very upset for a while.
Fortunately, like in previous years, the aquariums still arranged the opening hours of the market in the evening, eliminating Zheng Qing's trouble of taking leave. Because the invitation letter from Quanke was not restricted by the school curfew, Zheng Qing did not enter the market early like last year, as he did last year, but waited for the evening class to leave the school gate.
It is nine o'clock to finish evening class.
When he arrived at Kelai Bay, it was almost nine o'clock. Several of his companions who were "awaiting" for the invitation were clustered in front of the dead oak at the end of the bay, as if they had turned into dead trees.
When Zheng Qing came, those dead trees had their ringworm beads.
"I told you a long time ago that I will finish class at nine o'clock..."
While Zheng Qing picked up the armored horse talisman hanging on his legs - in order to run faster, he tied four armored horse talismans - and at the same time, he took the initiative to complain that several companions came too early: "...why are you doing so early?"
"Observation." Xiao Xiao shook the black hard-shell notebook on his hand, with a expressionless face.
"Bored." Fatty Xin drooped her eyelids and wriggled her cheeks. After detecting Zheng Qing's sight, he took out a piece of apricot dried out of his pocket and threw it into his mouth.
"Look at the witch." The red-faced witch gave an answer that was completely different from his reputation.
Zheng Qing subconsciously took out an evil-proof talisman and shook it in front of Zhang Jixin, his tone was a little worried: "Are you so entangled? How could you say such a bastard!... Although I think you are telling the truth."
Zhang Jixin had a stern face and ignored Zheng Qing's strange voice. He just pulled the dragon skin on his hand and pinched the knuckles with one hand.
It was me, yes, Zheng Qing obediently put away the evil-proof talisman.
"I asked him to help me see."
Xiao Xiao, who was standing aside, explained: "——There were too many people passing through in one breath just now, and I couldn't observe it, so I asked the fat man to help see the male witch, and the elders to help see the witch... I just need to observe whether they used water-avoiding magic before entering the market, and which type of magic they mainly used."
"What about the observation results?" Zheng Qing suddenly became a little interested.
Xiao Xiao looked at him deeply: "As of 9:15, a total of 213 wizards have been passed, including 152 male witches and 59 witches..."
Zheng Qing subconsciously raised his eyebrows when he heard this number.
"Did you calculate it wrong?"
He interrupted the doctor's 'analytical report' and smiled slightly provocatively: "One hundred and fifty-two plus fifty-nine is not enough for two hundred and three... At this level, do you recommend me to learn arithmetic and divination? My elementary school math level can beat you!"
Yusu's fortune teller pushed his glasses and calmly said: "I'm right, but I haven't finished it yet... because the last two are Yin-Yang Wizards."
No further explanation is needed.
Zheng Qing immediately understood the concept of "Yin-Yang Wizard" and couldn't help but be stunned. But when he thought of the Rainbow Wizard Group that he tried to attract himself, he also felt that there were several wizards of special genders in the school.
cough!
"so what?"
The witch coughed dryly and asked as if nothing had happened: "——You have counted for a long time and have you found any signs of disturbing? Also, have these wizards eaten gill grass?"
He thought of the dispute in the dormitory a few days ago.
Xiao Xiao nodded with a very small amplitude, and did not answer Zheng Qing's question immediately, but asked back: "You just came all the way, have you noticed the difference between this year's Quanke came and last year?"
"different?"
Zheng Qing hesitated and touched his chin, looked up at the deep sky where the moonlight could not be seen, and his expression sluggishly: "Well, is this a layer of guardian barrier spreading outside the market? The organizer did not waste this last year... or be cautious."
"That's what it means."
Xiao Xiao raised the quill in his hand with satisfaction and concluded: "The more than 200 wizards we observed used water-avoiding magic before entering the market. Among them, male witches mostly use gill grass, witches mostly use bubble head spells and shatangguo. Few people also carry talismans or water-avoiding beads with them, but that price is too expensive and not affordable for ordinary people..."
"Why is the difference between male and female wizards so big?" Zheng Qing was curious, and finally realized that he really underestimated the "reminder" of a legendary wizard.
Just looking at the reactions of the organizers of Quanke tonight and the wizards who came to visit the market, you will know that they listened to Lao Yao's words.
Xiao Xiao did not answer Zheng Qing's curiosity, but looked at Fatty Xin.
The fat wizard sighed and shook his head: "Because gills are very difficult to eat, and after eating gills, they will grow fish gills and webbed hands and feet. In other words, they will become ugly. Therefore, unless the aesthetic angle is clear, few witches choose to eat this thing. But gills are much cheaper than shatangguo, so almost all male witches who pay more attention to practicality and cost-effectiveness will choose this herb. As for the baking spell... it is not easy to maintain this spell in the market. Only a few witches who simply visit the market and do not stay in the market for too long will choose this magic."
Speaking of this, he noticed Zheng Qing's thoughtful expression, stopped, and added: "Of course, the water-avoiding talisman is also a good choice, but the talisman paper is relatively limited and has no disguise..."
"Disguise?" Zheng Qing did not keep up with the pace of the fat wizard for a while.
"Do you think you can go shopping in the market openly in your current situation?" Xiao Xiao raised a slightly sharp question and then threw out the solution: "I have prepared a pickled gill grass for you. After eating it, your skin will turn into a dark indigo color of a fish man. With the webbing of your hands and feet and gills, people who are not particularly familiar with you should not recognize you..."
Zheng Qingmu had a face.
I took the gill sheep handed over by the doctor, looked at the indigo blue "rat tail" entangled on it, and the smooth and wet feeling in my palms, and the corners of my mouth twitched slightly.
He had reason to suspect that Dr. Xiao was angry because of the "tortoise shell accident" a few days ago, so he took personal revenge.
But he retaliated very 'rules'.
It makes people have nothing to say.
He had a bitter face, pinched his nose, and stuffed his cheeks into his mouth.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.
"Everyone is here?"
Jiang Yu greeted him happily, which scared Zheng Qing so much that he didn't even have time to chew. He swallowed the grass into his stomach with his neck. His expression was so ferocious that he choked, and the blue veins on his neck suddenly rose.
He patted his chest, followed his anger, and turned around and happened to see the witch standing not far away, wearing a crimson horse-faced dress, hanging jade beads, looking at him, smiling gracefully and beautifully looking at him.
