In the early morning, when the sun was still nowhere to be seen, the sky was already bright. The thin fog and dim light made everything seem to be shrouded in white. On the silent street, the crisp sound of horses' hooves suddenly sounded, "Click-click-click-".

"Isn't it forbidden to use horse-drawn carriages casually in the city?" whispered a few people with morning shifts in the large hut where the handyman lived. It is usually crowded at night, but it is a little empty at the moment, and it is only then that its huge area is revealed.

The male voice responded mockingly, "Silly you, that's the rule during class." Now that the Spring Festival is approaching and the students are all going home, there are only a few of us left, so what else is there to care? Not to mention, it is impossible to say whether they have the manpower to take care of such idle things now. ”

"Hmm......" The person who asked the question before was stunned and nodded stupidly, but quickly regrouped and said half-explaining, half-questioning, "I mean, in that case, how could anyone still have a carriage in the academy city?"

Another person replied: "Because there is money." Rich people, how can buying things work and don't need it. Think about it, if you had 10,000 standard units of assets, how would you spend them?

The person who asked the question was stunned for a moment: "Oh, if I have 10,000 standard units, then-"

"Okay, okay, saliva is flowing out, and there is no interest at all. The first person to answer patted the questioner's head, "That's a big man, so you say." Go out and see the excitement - alas, masked man, you wake up too. ”

"Hmm. Brunei nodded at them and led the way to the door.

The second person to answer smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Yo, that's really rare." The masked man didn't even read books, but instead watched the excitement? Why, did he go to school too much and get tired of reading books?"

Brunei smiled and shook his head: "No." ”

"Well, what-" The man was about to continue, when he suddenly saw a dark shadow in front of the mist, and suddenly became excited, "Hey, look! What am I talking about? A four-horse cart! Where else can you walk except in this academy city?

Two black and two red, bright coats, sturdy figures, and four tall horses with their heads held high, the light red carriages also pierced out of the fog, simply decorated with glittering patterns and a few transparent charms, which did not look very luxurious, but were very striking in size. The body is shiny throughout, and it looks like it has just been cleaned.

“...... Alas. After the questioner saw the carriage clearly, he sighed, "It's a loss." ”

"What's missing?" asked the first to answer, a little confused.

The questioner said as if he was very dissatisfied: "What do you say these things are pretending to be? So what kind of low-key set do you have to do if you have money, what is simple, elegant and simple, it doesn't look cool at all, it's really a shame that we still run out to see the excitement in the winter, not to mention getting more gold to feast people's eyes." You say yes, Masked Brother?"

Brunei smiled and didn't speak.

The questioner didn't care, and scolded to himself, and when he was about to speak, he was suddenly hit on the back: "Who-what are you doing!"

The second respondent who hit him ignored him, and just said with a look of surprise on his face: "Look, this car ...... Is it getting slower?"

"Huh?" the questioner didn't care about the beating just now, and looked at it fixedly, "It seems to be really...... Broken?"

"I sometimes wonder if you're really stupid. The carriage is pulled by horses, how can it be broken to such a state of slow stop?" the first person to answer frowned, even though he said this.

The four horses walked slowly and methodically past them, and they did not even see the strength of the over-neatly dressed coachman's hands, and they stopped in unison, and the carriage stopped right in front of them.

"Well, this ......" was the first to answer who was always calm and reliable, and now felt a little confused.

"Teacher!" while the three of them were at a loss, a young man with a strange hairstyle jumped out of the car, his clothes were undoubtedly more in line with the questioner's expectations of the rich than the modest carriage, and the intricate variety of precious metal ornaments made a small and pleasant sound with his exaggerated movements, and the swaying back and forth would make the starers feel dizzy.

William rushed to Brunei and shook his hand with excitement on his face: "Thank you for your hard work!"

“...... What?" Brunei smiled, ignoring the other three's ghostly expressions, "I just slept all night. If you want to say hard work - you rarely get up so early, do you? You're a lot harder than I am. ”

William was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "I'm much more relieved to see that you're still in the mood to joke, teacher." These are the ones—"

"My past colleagues. Brunei nodded to the three with very wonderful expressions next to him, and William also nodded to them in the same way, but the three people with very different personalities were taken aback, and looked flattered, and finally it was the first one to answer who took the lead in making a not-so-standard salute to William, and the other two followed suit, "My friend." ”

William didn't care about their salutes, and smiled at them: "Then if you have something to do, get busy." Teacher, let's get in the car and talk again. He grabbed Brunei's hand and took two steps, paused and thought about it, and then added: "Although this matter is not a secret, after all, it is information about family members, and in theory, it is better to keep it secret from unrelated personnel." I hope you will understand us?"

Several people opened their mouths, and after listening to William's words, they quickly shook their heads: "No, no, no, we should go to work." "We shouldn't have listened to other people's private affairs. "Goodbye, masked—goodbye, Brunei. ”

Brunei looked at the three of them: "System, psychology, judge their attitude towards me." ”

[Okay, psychological test: 91>60, fail.] You didn't pay attention to their expressions just now, and now they've turned their backs. You can only hear a subtle change in their attitude towards you from the change in their address. 】

“...... Failure. Brunei pursed his lips, "Forget it, it doesn't matter." ”

[Yes.] But you're in the habit of psychology if you think it's a little wrong-]

Brunei interrupted the system's words: "Isn't it good? I don't trust anyone, treat everyone as enemies, isn't this the state you have always wanted to lure me into through words?"

[Hmm...... Reasonable. Well done, little Bruneith. 】

Walking to the edge of the carriage, Brunei noticed that there were a lot of thin horizontal bars arranged under the bottom of the carriage, which was not too high, and after careful consideration, Brunei decided to honestly walk up one level at a time. After walking for a long time, he turned around, William jumped, jumped beside him, grinned at her and said, "Teacher, aren't your legs tired?"

“...... OK. "It seems that not using such an impractical design may cause offense, and this concern is that I am thinking too much...... At least with William's current favorability, there isn't such a problem.

The door opened, revealing a fuchsia gold-encrusted curtain. In contrast, the interior of the carriage is much more ornate than it looks, the main color is pale pink and white, there is a magic lamp hanging above it, and the polishing technique of the wooden planks under the feet is extraordinary, making Brunei almost think that there is a lamp underneath.

Scarly S. Miss T. Miltrov sat in it, her two strands of golden ponytails still neatly arranged on either side and hanging down behind her head, but her clothes were different from those of the previous meetings, some loose cloth was draped over her body, and she was covered with light green and yellow spots, and the shoes on her feet looked quite peculiar.

Brunei thought that maybe it was her left leg on her right leg and her back so tight that her feet didn't touch the ground.

"You're here. She nodded at the two of them, then pursed her lips slightly, and looked uneasy, "William?"

"Yes. William seemed to be distracted just now, and now he was a little nervous, and he stomped his foot while standing upright.

Scarly laughed, with a dangerous aura, "What were you thinking?"

"I was thinking, if I couldn't still see my hair after wearing this, I'm afraid everyone would think Scarlett was a little boy—ah. William took the rest of the words back in Scarly's intimidating gaze, but he had already said more or less the same.

However, Scarly didn't pursue it, glanced at Brunei next to her, and continued to stare at William with cannibalistic eyes for a while, then stopped, and gently patted the bell next to her, after a crisp "jingle bell", she looked at the two: "Sit down and talk." ”

William answered and sat down across from Scarly, and Brunei looked around and sat down next to William.

As soon as he sat down, Brunei felt that the carriage had begun to move, but the cushions were soft and the ground was so smooth that there was almost no vibration at all. It was the first time he had ridden in such a high-class carriage - to be precise, it was his first time in a carriage, and it felt very different from an ox-cart.

[Nonsense, little Bruneisi, aren't you ashamed to say this?]

William saw that Brunei had already sat down, so he impatiently continued the previous topic: "Teacher, Scarlett and I also looked at the illustrated book of that wind attribute demon wolf later, and it looks much more dangerous than we thought before. But the teacher seems to have already made up his mind? As a teacher, he should have already set a successful countermeasure, right?"

Miss Scarly's expression was a little surprised, her eyebrows raised, and she also looked at Brunei: "You already have a countermeasure?"

"There are talented ghosts, and that old bastard has bad intentions to set the time from sunrise to sunset. Miss Miltrov, with all due respect, your butler is probably going to do something to you. While he's gone, let's find a way to go back and kill that thing!

Brunei took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed what he wanted to say: "Didn't you know about the wind attribute demon wolf in the past?"

William shook his head sincerely: "I've never heard of it. ”

Miss Scarly hesitated for a moment before she reluctantly said, "I have seen its fur in the past, it is brightly colored, and it is indeed amazing that it changes with the light...... Yes, I don't know anything about it at all. ”

Sure enough, William's confidence at that time probably came from his unwarranted admiration for himself, and Miss Scully probably thought that they had a bottom in their hearts when they saw that they were not timid...... At that time, I was so stupid to look at their expressions.

Brunei sighed, if it hadn't been for the previous night's mention by Gerald, the theory that the Ford butler wouldn't have put the young lady in danger supported him, and he really wanted to jump straight out of the carriage now.

"I've seen this monster in the Endless Mountains on my way here from the Empire in the past. But since he still wants the job and doesn't plan to tear his face, Brunei still has to continue pretending, "Indeed, the stealth and social nature make them very dangerous. But I have a way of identifying their location - it's not difficult to survive them. ”

"The predatory time of the wolves during the day, perhaps due to their stealth nature, they do not always act in groups. If we're lucky, we might be able to find a lone wolf. In addition to stealth, the strength of the demon wolf is only the same as that of a normal hungry wolf. I'm already a mage, so it's not difficult to kill it. ”

"The teacher actually has a way to identify the location of the demon wolf? Then the biggest difficulty has been solved!

Perhaps emotionally affected by William, Miss Scarly said, "Well, but—yes." ”

I don't know why, but her face flushed slightly after saying that, and she turned her face to look out the window, leaving a pair of ponytails tossing and turning in front of Brunei's eyes.

The corners of Brunei's mouth twitched, and he smiled awkwardly, but fortunately, his expression was completely wrapped in a mask, and no one could see his heart was empty.
