In the golden autumn of October, the sky is always so high and the sun is always so bright. Living in this kind of weather, people's mood will always be much happier unconsciously.
Of course, this pleasure is relative.
Not everyone will be in a good mood in this kind of weather.
For example, Professor Charles is in a very bad mood right now.
Charles O'Brien is a tall old wizard with silver hair, a Western face and a shawl.
Wearing a wide black robe, he sat quietly in a red hardwood armchair, with a cup of stale black tea placed on the coffee table in front of him.
This old wizard comes from the O'Brien family, so although he is only a 'quasi' grand wizard, he still holds such important positions as the vice chairman of the First University Professors' Joint Conference and the vice president of the Alpha Academy.
Directly under the management of Vice President Shi Hui.
Due to his old age and limited qualifications, Professor Charles gave up the idea of continuing on the path of wizard many years ago and began to take care of his old age.
For this reason, he even shut down his own teaching system and no longer served as a professor of professional courses on the three-foot podium. Instead, he was mainly responsible for trivial matters in teaching management.
For example, in the first square, when new students land from the plane, they will read out the "welcoming lines" that have not changed year after year in a lecturing tone;
For example, when arranging class schedules, whether they are honorary professors, senior professors, ordinary lecturers, or teaching assistants, all teaching plans of faculty members need to be approved by him.
Another example is the temporary reception task assigned by the school. I came to this ancient house in Beta Town to interview Su Shijun, the newly appointed member of the Yuexia Parliament of the Su family in Qingqiu.
This is not an easy matter.
Whether it's Su Shi or Su Shijun.
As one of the five superior races in the Moon Council, the Qingqiu Su clan has always been the representative of the fox clan, standing on the front line when creatures under the moon face wizards.
In the eyes of many orthodox wizards, whether they are foxes, zombies, vampires, ghosts, or werewolves, these magical creatures that are both good and evil have nothing to do with the word "wizard" - or in many cases,
In the eyes of orthodox wizards, these beings in the dark night are completely unworthy of entering the Wizards' Union.
Because they used to 'eat' mortals.
Vampires and zombies feed on the blood of mortals, foxes and ghosts seize the essence of mortals, and there are werewolves, dark creatures that go crazy on full moon nights and are never even afraid to admit their tendency to eat human flesh.
How is this different from a demon?!
Perhaps the only slight difference between the two is that these sublunar creatures can tolerate the rough flesh and smelly blood of mortals - things that demons cannot tolerate.
Demons only like to eat the flesh and blood of wizards.
This difference once caused huge divisions in the wizarding world.
Some wizards believe that the tendency of creatures under the moon to eat mortals proves that they are actually 'servants' cultivated by demons and have inherited the evil talents of demons. However, this talent has been further enhanced by their 'masters', making these creatures under the moon
Able to live on mortal flesh and blood.
For example, among the nobles in the Middle Ages, the gentlemen ate meat and soup, and the servants ate oats and wild vegetables. Occasionally, the gentlemen would be kind and throw some bones into the water, and the servants would be grateful.
Another group of wizards believe that the creatures under the moon are the research results of wizards and a great achievement of wizards in dividing and transforming monsters. If all monsters are transformed into creatures that feed on mortals, then what threat do they still pose to wizards?
?
Wizards who hold this view can find a lot of obscure evidence, proving that whether it is the first vampire or the first fox demon, they are inextricably linked to the legends of the wizarding world that have transcended the realm of great wizards.
This vague connection finally stopped the wizards from putting the lunar creatures back on the hunting list.
Of course, this obscure relationship is also one of the most important factors for the creature under the moon to eventually become a member of the Wizards' Union.
But even though these under-lunar creatures gradually changed their habits and no longer hunted mortals at will, and formed an under-lunar council and joined the Wizards' Alliance, they were still jealous of many wizards.
These wizards firmly believe that from the beginning, creatures under the moon have been flirting with demons, grinding their teeth and sucking blood, waiting for opportunities.
The vice president of First University, Ms. Shi Hui, is a representative figure of this type of wizard.
Professor Charles is under the jurisdiction of Ms. Shi Hui, so he naturally knows his boss's thoughts very well.
Therefore, when he received this assignment from Vice Principal Shi Hui yesterday evening, he knew that he had a headache.
The task is very simple. You only need to submit an invitation letter to several senators in the Yuexia Parliament, or their representatives, and then verbally express the attitude of First University.
Although it is an invitation letter, it is actually more like a notification letter - First University notifies the five senators of Yuexia Parliament, asking them to send enough high-level wizards to enrich First University's power in the Silent Forest and prevent
This year's resurgence of silence months in advance caused even greater losses.
Since this notice was only a resolution of the Professors' Joint Meeting, without the approval of the President of the First University, and had not been discussed at the Grand Wizard Council of the Wizards Alliance, Vice President Shi Hui specially sent an old wizard with sufficient status.
, come to convey the relevant meeting spirit.
As a special envoy, Professor Charles has been thinking about the possibility of completing this matter since last night - to be honest, he does not have much confidence.
Because First University has no affiliation with the Yuexia Council, and Vice President Shi Hui is notoriously distrustful of creatures under the Moon. Therefore, the resolution she took the lead in issuing will definitely make the Yuexia Council feel uneasy.
Moreover, the newly appointed Congressman Su is not a young man who easily obeys authority.
Su Shijun's name is famous throughout the wizarding world.
She was born into a famous family, and her beauty was unparalleled. More importantly, at a young age, she broke through the threshold that hindered countless registered wizards and became a great wizard - even to describe her as a proud one seems a bit aggrieved.
Such a person should usually be a little squeamish, a little arrogant, and a little rude. But these seem to be tolerated.
You should be dealing with a willful granddaughter.
Professor Charles silently glanced at the huge clock at the end of the living room, thinking this in his heart.
From sitting here at eight o'clock in the morning until eleven o'clock in the morning, the lady senator of the Parliament has not shown up.
It is said that he was getting up to freshen up.
Although the tea and snacks have not stopped.
Those pretty fox maids are also very considerate in their service.
But this beautiful lady Su must have taken too long to wash herself.
"When will Congressman Su come out?" When the tea cup in front of him was filled again, Professor Charles finally couldn't restrain his unswerving heart and asked in a deep voice.
"The lady has gone out." The maid standing next to her quietly took a step forward and replied.
"Going out?" Professor Charles raised his eyebrows high, trying to suppress the anger in his heart: "When did she go out? Why didn't I know?!"
"Miss, you can go out whenever you want." The fox maid opposite smiled politely and replied.
Professor Charles took a deep breath.
Then he stood up.
The silver hair on the shawl was blowing without the wind, and the large robe also made a sound in the room.
His tall figure enveloped the fox maid in front of him, and his voice sounded very low: "It is the idea of the First University to dispatch high-ranking members of the Moonlight Council to Buji Island, and it will also be the will of the Grand Wizard Council - as the Grand Wizard
Congressman Su should be very aware of the seriousness of this matter."
"What I am sending now is just an invitation letter - if the parliament gives a positive reply within the specified time next month, this invitation will still be valid."
"Otherwise, the next thing sent to the round table of the Moon Parliament will be the recruitment order of the Wizards Alliance."
As he spoke, a white envelope landed lightly on the coffee table.
"The letter has been delivered and the words have been brought."
"Whether you comply or not is up to you."
After saying that, the old professor patted the Dharma book in his arms and disappeared into the quiet and spacious living room.
Not a speck of dust was stirred up.
The fox maid, who was still neither humble nor overbearing in the face of the First University professor, finally stopped smiling when she saw the guest leaving, and turned to look out the window, with a bit of worry on her face.
