The investigation results of the Linzhong Lake conflict have not yet been released.
In the evening, another breaking news grabbed the attention of most students.
The North District wizard patrol who went to "hunt the autumn wind" in the Silent Forest (this is a saying passed back from the Alpha Academy) clashed with the hunting team of the Beta Town business group - the two sides seemed to be caused by the ownership of a small family.
Contradiction - The rumor did not make it clear who acted first, but in the end, someone in the hunting team of the Beta Town business group was seriously injured, and the patrol team of the North District wizards took away the nest of little troubles.
"——The business group was so angry that they pulled out a magic carpet and put the seriously injured hunter on it. A large group of wizards blocked the street in the North District. Naturally, the North District was not to be outdone, although the Gini Cabin did not show up.
, but there are also a large number of wizards who came forward. When I came back, I heard that the confrontation between the two sides was not over yet. Both the Trident Sword and the Assistant Group sent people to maintain order, lest someone accidentally cast a spell and the situation got out of control."
In dormitory 403, Fatty Xin was wiping the sweat from his forehead and talking happily, with an expression of regret as he secretly hated why the school had set a curfew, which prevented him from continuing to 'collect stories' on site.
"Didn't the great wizards come forward? Did the school just let this matter continue to ferment?" Xiao Xiao raised his head from the textbook "Standard Pharmacy - Third Year College" and asked curiously.
The fat wizard's face suddenly dropped.
He has not completely forgiven the doctor for his "escape without authorization" - just like when he was talking about the conflict between the wizards of the North District and the Beta Town business group, he insisted on only looking at Zheng Qing as he spoke, as if there was a table across the table.
Air.
Zheng Qing cleared his throat.
"I probably know the reason why Senior Sister Kolma didn't show up."
He guessed that the witch should go to see her 'Original', but at the same time, he also felt a little strange about the school's almost laissez-faire attitude: "-But it's impossible that the school can't send even a great wizard, right?"
Regarding Zheng Qing's question, which was almost the same as Xiao Xiao's, the fat wizard showed a completely different attitude.
"I don't know if the school's manpower is tight."
He answered Zheng Qing's question very enthusiastically: "But I know that only Andrew was sent to the scene by the Three-pronged Sword, and the assistant coaching team only sent three black robes... Together, the two sides even had a basic hunting team.
If we don’t have enough people together, what can we do to mediate the conflict between the two parties? It’s already pretty good if we can maintain the situation without fighting.”
The basic number of a hunting team is five hunters.
From this perspective, the manpower dispatched by the school and the Three-Forked Sword is indeed slightly insufficient.
After a moment, the fat man mentioned the attitude of most of the merchants in Beta Town towards this matter: "——Public opinion in the town is now very unfriendly to the wizards in the North District. Many old wizards privately use the word 'locust' to describe those wizards."
The wizards of the North District said that there was no grass growing in the place they passed by, seriously damaging the business environment on Phuket Island..."
"Did it destroy it?"
Zheng Qing scratched his head and looked confused: "I don't feel that Beta Town is any different from before? The star map at Green Grocery Store is still five copper coins a piece, and the Green Bee is still two silver coins a bottle, and the small burning
Chicken costs twenty-four coppers, and the prices of dragon bone powder and dragon blood ink have not become more expensive...but the price of standard talismans has increased a bit, but isn't that a good thing?"
"What's changing is the raw material market."
Fatty Xin took out a bottle of coconut water from nowhere and took two sips of it. Then he spoke again: "The wizards in the North District are now more powerful. They dare to go deeper into the Silent Forest to collect, and bring back a large amount of magic raw materials to sell."
and very cheap, directly squeezing the profit margins of the merchants in Beta Town who were originally making money - you just said that most of the products have not become more expensive? Hey, according to the current level of shipments in the North District, all the goods on the market have not become more expensive.
Everything should be very cheap! If it hasn’t become cheaper, it means there are still too many unscrupulous businessmen selling star maps, green bees, and roasted chickens!”
He was indignant.
The bottle of coconut water in my hand has reached the bottom without realizing it.
"——In the words of some old wizards on the pedestrian street, the world has changed now. The wizards who used to go to the Silent Forest to collect in the North District would take the initiative to avoid them when they saw the hunting team of the merchant group, and even 'give' to them just now
The collected prey. But since the North District Wizards Group took shape, the hunting teams of the merchant group have found that their profits are getting less and less..."
"You deserve it." Zheng Qing snorted in a strained tone.
It goes without saying that the people from the North District who entered the forest in the past were exploited by these business groups - including the 'giving up prey' that Fatty just mentioned. Who dared to go deep into the Silent Forest with the level of a 'magician'?
Not a ruthless person? Is it possible to make such a ruthless person 'willingly' give up his prey?
At best, it's a forced purchase; at worst, it might be robbery or even murder! You know, the magic interference in the depths of the Silent Forest is very strong, and it is difficult for ordinary fortune-tellers to observe what is happening deep in the forest.
Unless the accident happened to a student, one or two magicians missing there would not cause any ripples on the island at all.
Even people from the North District may not care.
"Having said that."
Fatty Xin shook his head, obviously worried about the hidden contradictions behind this conflict: "Do you still remember the previous analysis of the "Beta Town Post", which mentioned that the North District Wizards Group would squeeze the interests of the original wizards in Beta Town?
This is the most direct manifestation. In the past, they could go to places that the wizards of the North District could not go; in the past, the wizards of the North District sold their hunts at a low price, but now they even dare to increase the price... The business groups in Beta Town can endure it.
Taking action now is already beyond my expectation."
"Then someone beat the crap out of him." Zheng Qing curled his lips.
Turning to look at Xiao Xiao.
But I saw that he had taken off his glasses at some point, and was holding a piece of red velvet, wiping the lenses carelessly, staring ahead with his eyes empty, obviously thinking about something.
"Any questions?"
After working together for two years, Zheng Qing could tell at a glance what abnormalities Dr. Xiao Da should have discovered.
"It's nearing the end of the term, and the Edge College is about to be established... At this time, these things suddenly pop up... It feels too subtle."
Xiao Xiao pinched the legs of his glasses, thoughtfully: "Do you know the ripples when the wind blows across the lake? Circles within circles, continuously, but most people's attention will be attracted by those beautiful ripples on the lake.
Instead, we turned a blind eye to the wind that caused everything.”
"You mean there's someone behind the scenes?" Zheng Qing squinted his eyes, and the first suspicion that flashed through his mind was those mysterious crows.
Xiao Xiao was noncommittal and slowly put on his glasses again: "——I just think that if a gust of wind really blows across the lake, the wrinkled ripples will definitely not be just these two circles."
