Chapter 22: Intertwined Memories
Moira crossed her waist in front of He Qitian, while Sirbe kept drawing patterns with chalk on a brick wall. This brick wall, located at the back of the student dormitory, may have been barbecued in front of this wall before, and this wall is blackened with black carbon marks on it.
"Ah, why did the senior suddenly want to go to Shadow Street, is there anything I need to buy?" asked Silbe, tilting his head as he drew a magic circle on the wall. There were also many students around who were also heading to Shadow Street, waiting for Silbey's move.
"Uh...... Probably my things were taken by Carter, and in the afternoon he invited me to dinner at the restaurant on Shadow Street, and I went to get my things back. He Qitian scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"It's theft! You should report it to our student council as soon as possible! Let me deal with this guy with dirty hands and feet. Silbert stabbed a piece of chalk in a murderous manner, and then she stuck out her tongue apologetically and picked up a piece of chalk again. At the base of the wall is a box of chalk, which seems to have been prepared for students who are going shopping. It's no wonder that the school doesn't have to worry about wizards quietly skipping class with the help of this wall, even an honor student like Sylbe has already drawn for 10 minutes, and this complex magic array has only completed a small half, which has to be replaced by the kind of students who like to skip class, I'm afraid they don't know how to write.
"Ah, every time this magic array is dynamic, the pattern of the magic array is different every day, it has to be calculated according to the period, similar to the dynamic password, you have to have someone who can calculate and draw this magic array to be able to go to the shadow street, but now everyone generally waits for others to draw the magic array, and a door can last until 0:00 the next day every day. As he spoke, Sylbe focused on depicting the details of the magic array, constantly adding some characters to the magic array that He Qitian felt dizzy even at a glance.
"In the early days, Shadow Street was not a particularly peaceful place, but it was indeed a place where wizards gathered, so this threshold was set so that students would not run to Shadow Street, and later the Round Table Council rectified the order of the wizarding world, and Shadow Street gradually became a commercial street among wizards. Moira excitedly explained that she had changed into a white short-sleeved dress and a small satchel on her body, and sure enough, girls would be extra excited when they mentioned shopping.
Sylbe finished her final strokes and let out a long breath, then she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and chanted softly, "In keeping with the old promise, O Guardian, please open the doors for the Academy." β
As soon as Sylbey's chanting ended, the pitch-black brick wall shook, and brick chips kept falling between the bricks, and the chalk-drawn white magic array suddenly burst into orange flames.
The flames were fleeting, leaving only the black traces of the delicate and cumbersome magic array. Then the brick in the center of the brick wall shrank back, revealing a small black hole, as if someone had been pushed from this side to the other side of the wall, and then from around this small hole, the brick continued to shrink, revealing a hole about 2 meters high in tens of seconds.
Silbert glanced at the void and said with satisfaction: "The student union will open the door here at 12 noon every day, please wear your school badge before 12 o'clock in the evening, remember to return to school before 12 o'clock in the evening, before 10 o'clock to be exact, because the entrance control time of the dormitory is 10 o'clock!"
As soon as Silbey's words fell, the students waiting behind him let out a cheer, and the wizards who had already put on their golden school crests early and thanked them before entering the black hollow.
Moira took out her school badge from her pocket and pinned it carefully to her chest, but the gold badge had no pins, but was "glued" to her clothes by a magical force. So students don't have to worry about it falling, let alone having their expensive clothes poked with small holes.
After bringing the school emblem, Moira excitedly took He Qitian's hand and hurriedly walked towards the black door, and it could be seen that this young freshman really liked shopping.
"Xiaomo, remember to be a good guide for your seniors, don't patronize yourself and be playful, I'll come to you when I'm done." Silbe looked at Moira's eager appearance and said helplessly. Usually heavy schoolwork, in fact, these students don't have a lot of time to visit Shadow Street, and Moira's family background is not good, her parents are just ordinary people, but her grandmother used to be a witch, so Moira still received an admission letter from Merlin College, and she also chose to study, it was at this time that her grandfather found out that his wife who had been with him for so many years was actually a witch who often appeared in stories. Fortunately, her grandfather was a World War II veteran, and his own psychological endurance was very strong, and he was not the kind of person with a small belly, otherwise how could the family have time to send her to study?
"Also, senior, it's important for you to deal with your own affairs, Xiao Mo can't stop when she walks around, don't delay your own affairs in order to accommodate her. Silbert looked apologetic, and it seemed that Moira's over-feisty problems at some point were also giving her a headache.
"Ah~ The little fire dragon is fine~ What's the matter, Your Excellency Qi Tian~" Moira hugged Silbey affectionately, and gently smacked Sylbe's forehead~ The kissing Sylbe's face was flushed, Sylbe's body was originally small, and Moira's body was more tall and mature, so Moira was like Sylbe's senior sister. The surrounding students whistled excitedly, and Sylbey shyly pushed the crazy girlfriend away. "Alright, okay, don't make a fuss. Let's go. β
Moira nodded, and pulled the bewildered He Qitian into the black door.
Obviously, on the other side of the door, you can only see a pitch black, but after entering the door, it suddenly brightens. On the other side of the door appeared to be the office of the Merlin Academy of Magic, where several student council officers in student council uniforms were pulling a few new students who were coming to Shadow Street for the first time to explain some precautions.
He Qitian looked at this open hall with some amazement, with the heavy oak floor under his feet and colorful glass windows all around, as if he had suddenly returned to medieval Europe, everything was so simple and elegant. Even the top of the table can be seen clearly in the wood grain, not the pressed board pressed from the wood chips. If it weren't for the fact that all the students in this hall were still wearing modern clothes, it really made He Qitian feel like he was in a different world.
When the officers under the kerosene lamp saw that there was a new person coming out of the door, they subconsciously glanced at it, trying to tell if it was a freshman, but they saw He Qitian who was being pulled by Moila at a glance, and several officers immediately surrounded him cordially.
"Is Your Excellency the Agent also coming to visit Shadow Street? Is it Moira, you are the guide? Okay? Why don't you come and take over my class, and I will accompany Your Excellency the Agent to go shopping?" The one who spoke was a heroic girl, who seemed to be older than Moira, and should also be a senior cadre of the student union, she had already rushed to He Qitian's eyes as she spoke, and said enthusiastically: "Let's go, Your Excellency the Agent~ I must be much more interesting than a little girl like Moira~ I swear that the hotel here is also ......"
Before the woman's passionate words were finished, Moira had already pushed a hand into her face: "Go, go, Senior Sister Catherine is looking for a man to find those juniors, how can Your Excellency the agent take a fancy to you." β
Catherine said undiscouragedly: "How can there be such a good man as Your Excellency Surrogate among the younger brothers? I am not the kind of casual woman, but Your Excellency Surrogate guarded my back on the school bus, which is really too great! My girl's heart is about to melt by him!"
This is an operator carrying things next to him passing by, he joked: "There were 7 or 8 girls among the agents guarded by the acting senior at that time, how do you know that the senior is guarding you? And according to the students present, you all fainted at that time, how did you see the great figure?"
After speaking, the operator confessed to He Qitian with a helpless face: "I'm sorry, senior, Catherine is really not the kind of casual girl, she just feels that this can capture your heart more, I bet she must be nervous now." β
Catherine was pierced at the bottom, and her face immediately turned red all the way to the base of her neck, and she stepped on the traitor's foot and scolded: "Richard, you talk too much!"
Richard deftly dodged Catherine's kick, and then He Qitian found out that the operator carrying things was the student council agent who was invited to dinner by Green that day, and the guy was eating and crying that day, and there were a lot of envious, jealous and hateful students around him, so Green gave him a banquet.
"Haha, I can't step on it~ Okay, okay, don't make trouble, I have to move this box of dream dust over. Don't bother Your Excellency, hurry up and train the new students!" Richard laughed as he carried the box towards the black door He Qitian came from, and he nodded with a serious expression as he passed by He Qitian's side.
Catherine shrank back to the table like a deflated ball, and kept saying in her mouth: "I want to go shopping too, the last time I went shopping was a month ago, and I was bound by work every day." β
Moira excitedly and excitedly pulled He Qitian to walk towards the door. Catherine suddenly grabbed Moira and carefully stuffed a small cloth bag into Moira's hand: "Your Excellency the agent shouldn't have any money to use here, right? I have some pocket money left, you can deal with it first, if the agent wants to buy something, you can help him buy it." β
He Qitian only saw a few strange round coins from the openings of the cloth pockets, all of which were made of silver from the reflection.
"No, no, ah, we do need to go to the bank first, is the Sailfish Bank open today?" Moira asked, tucking the cloth bag back into Catherine's hand.
"What are you going to do?" asked Catherine curiously.
Moira whispered into Catherine's ear: "Your Excellency has a Nibelon Coin, gold! We have to quietly deposit the gold in the bank, and then exchange it for some ordinary silver coins to use." β
Catherine covered her mouth, although she was from a noble family and her family was much better off than that of an ordinary person like Moira, she was not generous enough to be able to use Nibelon Gold coins to pay for her living expenses. Although a Nibelon GEN gold coin is only about 20w US dollars converted to US dollars, but no one will do such an exchange, the Nibelon GEN gold coin is a symbol of wealth, its quantity is constant from the moment it is minted, and because this gold coin is minted from the gold of the Rhine, once this gold coin is not obtained through normal channels, it will be cursed by the Nibelon GEN, so each Nibelon GEN gold coin is kept in the treasury of various families as the most valuable wealth, and is generally used on the most formal occasions to show the solemnity of the transaction and respect for the transaction partnerγ One Nibelon Gen coin can be exchanged for 10 ordinary gold coins, and in the territory of wizards like Sister Shadow, you can't swipe cards and use worldly cash, you can only use the ancient currency that wizards have been handed down. Therefore, the Students' Union also provides a basic cash exchange service, which charges a 2% service fee at a time. Students are constantly taking out their cash and credit cards and exchanging them for silver and copper coins in their pockets, and it is very rare to exchange them for several gold coins. In fact, the academy didn't have much to prepare for gold.
Catherine took back her pocket, this kind of silver coin can be circulated in most places where there are wizards, so it can also be used in Merlin Academy, she belongs to the more conservative family wizards, so she often carries this kind of currency with her.
"Then be careful when you go shopping, you have to introduce your Agent well, if you have a dispute with someone, come to the office of our college, and we will ......" Catherine taught bitterly, as if her sister was teaching her sister, and she couldn't help but repeat what she often repeated to the freshmen, but halfway through her speech, she suddenly showed an embarrassed expression and patted her head: " Ah, I forgot, Your Excellency the Agent is here, even if someone wants to bully our Xiaomo, he shouldn't be able to beat Your Excellency the Agent. Then you two have a good stroll~ I'll see if I can find time to sneak out and play for a while. β
Moira got the favor, nodded obediently, took He Qitian's hand and walked towards the gate again.
As soon as he stepped out of the gate, He Qitian almost stopped breathing, the spacious and tidy streets were lined with quaint kerosene street lamps, wizards in robes and different faces entered and exited all kinds of strange shops, and the crowd was occasionally overhead with the screeching sound of pleasure from people on broom horses. It's like going back to the 14th century on the streets of Europe, where the smell of science is almost imperceptible.
This is Shadow Street, one of the wizards' refuge, a real corner of the wizarding community built in the shadows of England.
He Qitian involuntarily took a deep breath and found that even the air was full of unpolluted freshness, and there was even a faint earthy smell mixed with grass. This is the true appearance of the wizard's side!
Moila pulled He Qitian and said towards the largest building on the far side of the street: "That's the Sailfish Bank~Let's go deposit money first~"
Sailfish Bank, He Qitian still wondered why there was such a bank, the name was so strange, but around the surrounding group of buildings that showed their magical characteristics, it was so normal, marble steps, tempered glass floor-to-ceiling windows, and a number machine that could be seen through the glass and a counter with clear windows. As far as the shops in Shadow Street are concerned, he is undoubtedly the most normal one.
Moira took He Qitian's hand so affectionately, and had no intention of letting go at all, she dragged He Qitian all the way into the bank, and when she pushed open the bank door, she also took a queuing code on the shouting machine.
At this time, He Qitian woke up from that feeling of being in a different world, and the human world is still drifting away on the road of science, which will not change.
"Yo, Xiao Mo, are you here to deposit money again?" this is ......" A lobby manager in a suit at the entrance of the bank saw Moira and greeted him cordially, it seems that Moira does come to this place often.
"It's not me this time. This is His Excellency He Qitian. Moira responded with a bright smile, and then pulled He Qitian in front of the lobby manager and introduced.
The stubble and embarrassed lobby manager held his chin and looked at He Qitian carefully, and then said, "Asians? Asian wizards are very rare. Koreans or Japanese?"
Moira shook her head and corrected, "It's Chinese!"
The lobby manager suddenly looked at He Qitian carefully in surprise and said, "No matter which magic academy heard that there are the least Chinese students, this time it actually directly recruited Chinese?"
As he spoke, the lobby manager rubbed the ring on his hand with his index finger, and a circle of green fluctuations catapulted on He Qitian's body, but it was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no feedback at all, the uncle sighed curiously.
"The magic talent is very poor, almost none, and it doesn't look like an exceptional enrollment, but there are no magic families in China, and there is not even a record of local wizards, is it very rich?" The uncle glanced at Moira while thinking, and suddenly said quietly: "Although he may be very rich, but his magic talent is too poor, why don't you change your boyfriend?"
Moira looked at the man who usually took care of himself like his own father with such a cautious expression, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, she said: "Uncle Ford, how can there be, this is not my boyfriend, this is ......" When she said this, Moira deliberately lowered her voice and motioned for Ford to come over, and she muttered a few words softly in Ford's ear. He Qitian saw that Ford's jaw was falling as if it was being pulled by gravity.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Seeing you and Xiaomo so affectionate, I thought it was her boyfriend, hahahaha...... Your Excellency, please don't be angry......" Ford kept snoring, and cold sweat began to break out on his head nervously.
"How can there be, Uncle Ford should be sympathetic to the juniors, hahaha, I was originally a junior, you are an elder, how can an elder apologize to the junior, not to mention that you haven't done anything. He Qitian looked at such a middle-aged man so respectfully, which made him feel in a dilemma, and he didn't know how to put his hand.
When Ford heard He Qitian's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at Moira suspiciously, and Moira still said with a smile: "At first, I thought that His Excellency He Qitian and His Excellency Fenglong had a temper, but later I found that His Excellency He Qitian was much gentler. β
He Qitian secretly thought to himself, what does this have to do with gentleness, or how vicious Brother Fenglong is in your hearts?
But when it comes to ferocity, He Qitian is still the second-class young man who is boxing with the doorman in the doorman's room, drinking beer and watching news and small movies, and he is often called out to run errands every day by the young lady of the Yan family, otherwise this guy can stay in the office for a day to play online games.
"But this is not in the academy, so please keep it a secret from Uncle Ford!" said Moira, taking Ford's arm, like a daughter coquettish with her father.
"Okay, and, Xiaomo, you'd better raise the money quickly, everything over there is ready. Ford whispered a reminder as he agreed.
When Moira heard this, a trace of imperceptible loss suddenly flashed on her smiling face, and then the girl smiled again: "Okay, Uncle Ford, there's no problem~ I'll inform the president when I go back, there are still a lot of believers in the academy, and brothers and sisters should be able to get together together." β
Fukut nodded, and then he sighed, took five silver coins from his pocket and put them in Moira's hand, he said, "This is my fundraiser." β
Moira hurriedly retracted her hand behind her back, as if the silver coin was hot: "Ah, how can this be, Uncle Ford's salary is not particularly high, and there are still 7 children in the family with tuition and living expenses." No, you can't!"
Ford looked at the girl's insistent eyes, sighed, stuffed the five silver coins back into his pocket, rummaged for a while, and then took out a few banknotes and three copper coins from the corner of his pocket and handed them to Moira, and then he said: "That's good, seeing that you are obviously not rich, and you have been working so hard, I am a person who has started a family and a business, and I can't let me just look at it." Keep it, these should do. β
Moira looked at the middle-aged uncle's resolute face, it seemed that he had a few more gray hairs recently, and the girl took the copper coin from the middle-aged uncle's hand, thanked him, and carefully put it in her satchel.
At this time, He Qitian found that Moira's satchel originally contained only a few copper coins, and the small satchel was actually empty, and there was not even a girl's cosmetics. He Qitian remembered that his college female classmates always had a lot of makeup gadgets in their satchels, and from time to time they would take them out and draw them on their faces in a small mirror.
Moira turned her head and saw He Qitian looking at herself with a strange look, and hurriedly squeezed a smile on her face, as if she had never been troubled: "Now, Your Excellency, it's almost us, let's go to that ......" Moira nervously took out the ticket and looked at it again, and then said: "Counter 3!
Without waiting for He Qitian to answer, Moira had already pulled He Qitian and ran towards counter 3 like a run. He Qitian knew what secrets this girl had in her heart, but in the past, he would definitely have more than one thing than less, this kind of thing was not completely related to him, and even if it was him who was on the bus 5 days ago, he would definitely treat it as if it hadn't happened.
But now it's different, now that he has decided to have an extraordinary life, he also has enough opportunities to realize his former delusions. So, what boy hasn't fantasized about being able to play a superhero in front of such a cute girl? Lord Green has even fantasized about being Batman! He's done with the Batmobile!
Moira was stopped running, and it was then that Moira realized that the surrogate who had been with her for five days and felt that her personality was particularly gentle actually had a very strong pair of arms.
He Qitian took Moira's hand and met Moira's puzzled gaze.
"That...... If you're not in a hurry, I'll ask you later. He Qitian went through all the lines of the heroes when they appeared in his mind, but when it came to his mouth, his voice became both cowardly and nervous.
Moira looked at He Qitian's embarrassed eyes, and ten thousand question marks rose in her heart, how did she know that a certain teenager had just taken the first step of pretending to be b, and he was broken by the boy's own personality with a stick?
"Ah...... Forehead...... Okay, let's go save money first!" Moira reacted and pushed He Qitian forward, and He Qitian sat down on the small chair at counter 3.
The counter of Sailfish Bank was a little tall, and with He Qitian's height, he couldn't help but sit up straight in order to have a more comfortable conversation with the staff at the counter.
Inside the counter was an old man with reading glasses, in line with all the descriptions of the great magician in He Qitian's heart, with a white beard that reached to his chest, a piercing eye under wrinkles, and a quaint pipe in his left hand, if it weren't for the old man wearing a neat suit, He Qitian would almost think that Gandalf or Albus Dumbledore was sitting on the other side of the glass.
The old man took a puff of his pipe, glanced at He Qitian, and showed an interested gaze, then he let go of the cigarette holder and said, "What business are you here to handle?" Unfortunately, the old man spoke Japanese, and He Qitian couldn't understand it.
The old man looked at He Qitian's bewildered expression, muttered in his heart, cleared his throat again, and repeated in Korean: "What can I do to help you?"
He Qitian still looked at the old man behind the glass with a confused expression, and changed to Korean again, but he still couldn't understand it. After all, not every Chinese student will learn Japanese and Korean well, He Qitian was a standard otaku before, and he only watched the kind with subtitles.
Finally, after looking around awkwardly, the old man asked in Chinese, "What business do you want to handle?"
He Qitian finally understood this, and he quickly replied: "Save money!"
The old man also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard He Qitian's answer, and he took another puff of his pipe with satisfaction, and He Qitian noticed that yellow smoke was spewing out of the pipe.
"Ha, Chinese! I haven't seen it for many years! When I was an Allied pilot, my plane fell deep in the mountains of Yunnan, China, and a few Chinese carried me out of the crash site. The old man happily rolled up the sleeves of his suit, and a centipede-like scar on the old arm under the suit made He Qitian swallow his spit secretly.
"Ha, that's a strange place, once you enter China, you can't use any spells, and I was thinking that there was no one around, and I wanted to use the spell to get myself out of the cabin. The old man could see that he had been an Allied veteran, and listening to his account, it seemed that he had been saved by the Chinese people on the battlefield in China.
"Since that little guy named Fenglong suddenly appeared a few years ago, I have been able to see Chinese faces in the wizarding realm in the past few years. The old man took a beautiful puff of his pipe, and then he put the pipe aside, and the wooden cabinet behind him opened automatically, and a stack of application sheets and a quill floated out of the drawer.
"Name!" the old man asked.
"He Qitian!" He Qitian replied, but after hearing this answer, the old man frowned.
"You really reported your real name?" the old man leaned back against the glass in some surprise and looked at He Qitian carefully, "Or is that your wizard name......?" It's not surprising, what's Chinese strange about a Chinese-style wizard name......" the old man muttered, filling in the list repeatedly.
"How much?" asked the old man again.
He Qitian took out the only gold coin from his pocket and put it on the counter, and said with some embarrassment: "Just ...... Just one ......"
The old man squinted at the gold coin, and then the wrinkled eyes at the bottom suddenly stretched out from the pile of wrinkles, revealing an incredible light. "Ni...... The old man cautiously looked at the glass a few times, and after confirming that it was correct, he recited in a low voice: "According to the wishes of the owner of the gold coin, my behavior is not inappropriate!" As soon as he finished reciting, he couldn't wait to take the Nibelon GEN gold coin from the lattice under the glass, and his mouth was still muttering: "This is the 35,261st Nibelon gen gold coin in this bank! I didn't expect to be able to see it from a retail investor! Boy! Which family are you!? No, there is no wizard family in China!" What is your relationship with the dragon?"
He Qitian was taken aback by the fierce reaction of the old man, who almost pressed his face against the glass, and a hint of rosy appeared on the old cheeks, obviously due to great excitement.
He Qitian was about to open his mouth to answer, but he didn't expect the old man to shrink back again, and cautiously put the gold coin on a tray next to him, and this ceramic tray automatically flew up and floated backwards. At this time, the old man said to himself: "I can't say it, I can't say it, if you kid is really someone from Fenglong, then this occasion is really not suitable for talking." β
He Qitian was a little skeptical that this guy was a little senile and dementia, and he was always startled.
After a while, the tray flew back with a sheepskin contract, and the old man handed the contract to He Qitian through the opening below, motioning for him to sign it.
He Qitian took the quill pen, signed it with difficulty, and handed the pen and the contract back to the old man, the old man glanced at the contract, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Say, how much are you going to withdraw?" You now have a deposit of 100 gold coins, that kid really played cards according to common sense as the rumors said, and the living expenses actually used this thing, how many people hid the ground and wanted to hide the Nibelon gen gold coins at home, and he was so generous to give you New Year's money. β
He Qitian asked with a confused expression: "Then ...... How's that calculated?"
The old man snorted, picked up the pipe next to him again, and said, "One gold coin for ten silver coins, ten silver coins for ten copper coins, because it is a withdrawal of money, so there is no exchange fee." Say, how much?"
He Qitian thought about it carefully, and he also had no idea about the purchasing power of this silver and copper coin, but he heard that a Nibelung GEN gold coin is equal to 20w US dollars, so a gold coin is about 2,000 US dollars.
"Then ...... 5 silver coins and 50 bronze coins. He Qitian silently calculated and said with a little uncertainty.
"It's over. The old man tapped on the top of the counter, and the tray flew away automatically, and when he came back after a while, the plate was already filled with the currency He Qitian wanted.
The old man poured the silver and copper coins into the hole under the counter, and He Qitian successfully reached out and got the money he had obtained. Then the old man spat out the smoke ring and said with a smile: "It's good to see Chinese faces, and I have such a beautiful girlfriend, I think I also had a time with a local girl when I was in Ukraine, but then the troops were transferred, and I found the blonde girl." Come on, young man!" After saying that, the veteran also clenched his fist, and wiped out his own wizard and World War II heroes.
He Qitian sighed, turned his head to look at Moira, who was waiting for him on the side, blushing, and asked, "Okay, now it's time to talk about your problems." β
In the Sailfish Bank, He Qitian sat on the waiting seat and looked at the girl in front of him. He sighed, Moira was reluctant to say where she was short of money anyway, no matter how He Qitian asked, this usually sharp-toothed girl didn't even want to say half a word.
He Qitian helped his forehead in pain, and could only say helplessly: "Forget it, if you don't say it, don't say it." If there's anything you need me to help with, be sure to let me know as soon as possible. I've been taking care of you these days, and if I don't do something, won't I become a landlord and an old fortune who exploits the proletariat in the old society?"
Moira also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart when she heard He Qitian's words of giving up, but what did this landlord Lao Cai mean, and she knew that the landlord was the title of the person who owned land in the old Chinese society, what did Lao Cai mean? Could it be the kind of person who was particularly rich? But shouldn't that kind of person be called a rich man?
She was really afraid that He Qitian continued to ask, this is a distinguished guest of the academy, how can he let his troubles affect the mood of the distinguished guest. And what she didn't tell He Qitian was that she followed He Qitian as a guide every day, and every day the Apocalypse Club could get 5 copper coins of club activity funds, which was the cost of Chairman Silbey's lease of manpower from Joshua, which was paid by the student union.
There are also many noble children in the student union, and in addition to the distribution of the college, there are also voluntary donations from various members. In addition to the funds allocated by the student union, the club can only rely on the members' own wallets. Almost all of the children of wizard families in the Apocalypse Society are pure-blooded, and some people don't know that one of their relatives is actually a wizard until they receive the invitation. And this kind of nominal wizard often only has a few spells, and even in the wizarding world, they can't find a foothold, and can only develop in the real society. There are very few examples of Alexander's family relying on secular industry to counterattack the wizarding world and become a new aristocracy. Most of the wizards who work hard in the real world are even struggling to make ends meet.
The aristocratic families of wizards often resented God and religion, and in the darkest days of wizards, religion and the butchers in the name of God inflicted indelible wounds on these wizards. Therefore, the Apocalypse Society does not have at least one or two wealthy noble children to provide funds like other societies, and even Joshua often has to work part-time in various wizard shops on Shadow Street to earn funds for his activities.
And the Apocalypse Society's monthly financial statement is always the largest part of the expenditure among the various associations. And the reason is not only known to people who are close to the Apocalypse Society like Silbey, but only the teacher who is responsible for reviewing the accounts of each club every month knows.
"Let's go, let's see what we need to buy, I really haven't visited the wizard's store once. He Qitian diverted the topic and ended the awkward atmosphere, just now he and Moira had been sitting in the chair with wide eyes for a long time.
Moira suddenly smiled brightly, as if she had changed back to her lively and chatty freshman.
Just when the two of them pushed open the glass door of the Sailfish Bank, Moira looked out of the door, and suddenly stopped, He Qitian was suddenly pulled by Moi's sleeves, and he was still wondering why this girl, who was usually pulling herself in front, suddenly fell behind him, and he saw Moira quietly let go of his hand, and people couldn't help hiding behind him.
And the person Moira wanted to hide from obviously spotted Moira for the first time, He Qitian only heard an arrogant whistle, and a hand crossed He Qitian and touched the top of Moira's head.
"Aha, isn't this the Holy Maiden of the Apocalypse Society, Xiaomo, come out to raise donations again?" The person who spoke out had a shiny hairstyle, wore a pair of colorful jeans, and cut it everywhere, and a large piece of snow-white fat was exposed from the gap in the jeans, this fat man He Qitian visually measured that it was about 180 pounds, and the whole person was like a round ball, and there was a huge copper ring hanging on the fat ears, and what was even more disgusting was that the fat man also painted red eyeshadow.
The fat, pig's trotter-like hand passed in front of He Qitian, and from his hairy white arm came a strange smell of sweat mixed with perfume.
He Qitian thought that he was definitely not the kind of person who judged people by their appearance, but as soon as this guy appeared in front of his eyes, he felt that he saw a certain Marshal Tianpeng who was the second in line in the group of four people who learned scriptures, excluding the master and the white horse.
Moira shrank back in fear, the fat man's hand did not touch Moira's head, the fat man muttered dissatisfiedly, and casually drove He Qitian, who was in front of him, to the side, and his pig-like body squeezed in front of Moira.
"If you want me to say, it's better for you to expect this group of cold-blooded wizards to be kind, it's better to be my girlfriend, but I fell in love with you at first sight, Xiaomo, and aren't you also an adult~ Although we are not of marriage age, we can cultivate our feelings and exercise our compatibility in the past few years. The fat man uttered expletive words, and the pig's trotters groped towards Moira's head.
Now He Qitian knows, this erect fat pig is not like the kind uncle in the bank, this guy is not good. If it was He Qitian before, he would definitely be able to hide from this kind of thing. But now, for some reason, not only does he not have the feeling of fear, but he also has an inexplicable pride in his heart. He Qitian shot from the back of the fat man like electricity, and his hand was clasped on the fat man's thick wrist.
The power has become stronger, and the sense of justice that was once accumulated in the chest due to lack of ability is also growing. This kind of uneven road and pulling out a knife to help each other is the romance that He Qitian really pursues in his heart!
The fat man's smug expression gradually froze, because his hand was held by another person, the fat man's expression instantly became hideous, he turned his waist and turned around, wanting to see which thing with no eyes, and found that the person who grabbed his hand was actually the Asian boy who was casually pushed aside by himself just now. This Asian kid is about the same height as himself, but his physique is less than half his own. The fat man is still full of confidence in his "burlyness".
