"Chirp, tweet. "The morning sun shines through the thin clouds over the capital of knowledge, and unknown birds fly from house to house, leaving behind a cacophony of calls. On the streets, hurried passers-by converge into a stream, and the sound of wheels and horses' hooves plays a busy music.

In contrast to the busy scene on the street, Six Fox Avenue is quiet. The green courtyard was so quiet that there was not a single person in sight, even the maid sisters who cleaned the courtyard every morning were gone, and only a few birds chirped in the tall oak trees, telling the day to come. If you carefully leave the courtyard and go around the Western-style pavilion to the backyard, you can see things you never dreamed of.

The backyard of the Western-style Pavilion is large and divided into different areas, among which the area closest to the back entrance of the Western-style Pavilion is a lawn like the front garden. Above this area, a loose shelf is built with thin sticks, along which a large number of climbing plants grow, forming a canopy woven with vines. Every summer afternoon or evening, the girls will always sit under this vine trellis to enjoy the shade, barefoot on the grass blanket, the three of them are tired of together, a cup of black tea and a book, and spend a short period of happy time.

However, the arabesque is now much more lively than ever. Several long tables were put together to form an oversized table, and a large number of used glasses and plates still had leftover food and wine left on them, piled up on the table in a chaotic manner, and the empty wine bottles were everywhere on and off the table, much more than the ones Nicole and Rachel had brought. On one side of the table, there is a circular barbecue, the charcoal has long been exhausted, the black charcoal has turned gray-white, and there are still a few half-charred pieces of meat on the grill, and the white greasy grease solidifies on the grill, firmly sticking the meat pieces to the grill.

On the floor around the dining table, a girl is lying on the ground. The fans of the knowledge capital may not have imagined that on Chinese New Year's Eve, the new stars of the holy capital who conquered half the city's young people with their singing and dancing, and became the twin sisters Michelle and Ansha, who have become the objects of countless boys' dreams. At this time, they were each holding an empty wine glass, lying side by side on the grass with saliva on it, and licking the edge of the wine glass in their arms a few times while sleeping. Two little undead in puppet costumes hugging each other, a bear and a rabbit together, it's also funny. They didn't drink, but the two little ones had slept much more than they were awake for decades, and falling asleep was a breeze for them, so they slept deeply, even when the sun was shining directly on them. It's just a dissatisfied turnover. The other twin sisters, dressed in maid costumes, huddled in a corner, also drunk and sleeping together, even in their sleep, their bodies remained vigilant, like two rabbits ready to wake up and escape.

On the ground on the other side of the long table, there was a mountain of meat. Freya's round body lay on the ground, enough for one person to occupy the space of three people. Vivien's face flushed, and she rested on Freya's round belly, and Lina had her silver hair scattered. Lie on Freya's other side. Catherine sat not far from the three of them, half a glass of ale still in her crooked cup in her hand, her back against a few vines, her neck crooked to one side, her eyes tightly closed, and a silver thread hanging from the corner of her mouth.

The barbecue party went well, and before midnight, Rachel and Nicole left first, and soon after, three visitors from the land of the sea returned to the hotel. The only people left are a group of people who are relatively close. So the girls all started to mess around like crazy, completely lost their image and reserve, sang loudly, and danced indulgently. And everyone drank a lot of alcohol, and it eventually became the miserable situation it is today.

"Whew, you can really drink. Pannis climbed onto the pergola, let the sturdy vines support his body, leaned against the thick wooden posts fixed at the four corners, and poured the last cup of ale into his mouth. Exhaled a puff of turbid air with the smell of wine, looked up at the clouds in the sky and said, "I didn't expect you to accompany me to drink until now, even if you don't get drunk, won't you be sleepy?"

"I'm used to it. "Enthusiastic eyes were bright, but they looked at the sky in the distance with some blankness. Indulgence is already drunk, nestled in the arms of passion and sleeps deeply. Enthusiastic and habitually indulged in the loose sideburns, sighed and said: "For many years, we would never dream that one day we would let down our guard and get drunk unsuspectingly like we are now, and we don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing. ”

"Who knows, but just be happy. Pannis smiled, jumped off the vine trellises, threw them aside, dusted off the floating dirt from his clothes, and said, "I'll take care of it here, and I'll go out to meet an old friend." ”

"Pannis, are you going out?" and with a groan, Catherine staggered to her feet, pressed her hand to the corner of her forehead with a painful face, and walked a few steps with her feet in vain, and said to Pannis, "Do you want to go with you?"

"No, you can rest for a while. Pannis shook his head and said, "I don't know when those two clients will come, you can wait to receive them." I won't be going for long, and if they come and I haven't come back, you don't have to wait for me, just take them to the guild to go through the formalities. ”

"Then be careful on your own road. Catherine staggered to the long table, sat down on the chair, lay on the table weakly, and said distressedly: "Woo woo, my head hurts, I knew I wouldn't drink so much, damn Pannis, blame you for having to drink me in the end." ”

"Haha, I'm leaving. Pannisy grinned, smiling away from Catherine's disgruntled gaze.

As soon as he left the metal gate of the courtyard, Pannis quickly retracted the smile on his face, looked up at the sky and pondered for a moment, sighed, and waved to stop a public carriage that received solo passengers: "To the Magic District, Croof Street." ”

"Okay. "The black-clad coachman seemed to be in a good mood, and the whip in his hand snapped in the air with a crunch, and you sat down, and you were guaranteed to be there within an hour. “、

Hearing the sound of the whip, the horse pulling the cart snorted in dissatisfaction and began to trot all the way to the end of the street.

Like the Guild District, the Mage District is one of the core areas of the City of Knowledge, but it is unusually quiet compared to the noise and chaos of the Guild District. There weren't many people in sight on the streets, except for a few pedestrians dressed as mages, walking slowly but gracefully along the roadside. On both sides of the road, the mage-style buildings of the Mage Country Tower and the mage-style buildings of the Neville Federal Dungeon are arranged in a staggered manner, and the middle is sometimes dotted with wooden treehouses in the style of the nature mage of the Elven Forest.

The wheels of the carriage were rolling, and the sound of horses' hooves was moving, and the cheerful coachman was humming a minor tune of unknown meaning in his mouth, constantly waving his whip to keep the carriage moving. The carriage moved quickly, of course, due to the fact that it had already passed the busiest part of the morning's traffic, and soon passed through the Shining Tower area in the center of the Magic District, making several turns in succession, and finally stopped on a secluded street on the south side of the Magic District. This area is not like the center of the Magic District, which is full of workshops, laboratories, and shops, and the buildings here are mostly residences, and it is the home of mages who do not have personal mage towers.

Before the carriage could stop, Pannis jumped out of the carriage, tossed the coachman a few silver coins as a reward, and walked down Croof Street for a while, turning into an inconspicuous alley. The alley was not deep, and there were several gates in the alley, and Pannis stood at the mouth of the alley and looked at it, and as if he had made up his mind, he pushed open one of them without stopping.

There is no beautiful courtyard and mansion like No. 6 Fox Street, open the door and see a small garden, the flowers and plants in the garden are well cared for, neatly built, the flowers bloom in beautiful colors during the flowering season, and the small yard is dressed up colorfully.

Walking through the garden, you can see several small houses behind the garden, and the style of the houses is not the existing ones, but the special flat-roofed architecture. If someone with a lot of knowledge comes here, you can see that these special buildings with flat roofs are exactly the architectural style of the Goblin Empire that was all the rage tens of thousands of years ago, and no one would have thought that they could be seen here.

At the door of a house, there was a chaise longue, and an old man was lying on the chaise longue, holding a huge fan in one hand, his eyes were half-squinted, lying motionless on the chair, if it were not for the occasional wave of the fan, everyone who saw it would have thought that he was dead. The old man's skin was green, with a heavy gray tinge in the green, and the tired old man sat without saying a word, looking closely not in a daze, and had fallen into a deep sleep.

Pannis stood silently at the door, quietly looking at the wrinkled face on the rocking chair, the skin turned dark green, and the pointed ears were also soft and drooping old goblins, looking at his old body even if he was lying on the chair still trembling, and the liveliness and vitality of Christo when he fought side by side in the past appeared in front of him, and then looked at his current appearance, Pannis felt all kinds of feelings welling up in his heart, and finally could only turn into a deep sigh, unwilling to sigh for the passage of time.

After standing for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on Pannis's face, like a child remembering a new prank, touching his chin and nodding.

"Little Carat, you slacker, it's time to get up. Pannis opened his mouth, and spit out a voice similar to that of a pair of winged sisters: "Stupid, are you wetting the bed, that's why you are too shy to get up, it doesn't matter, even if you wet the bed, we won't laugh at you, don't worry." ”

"You two dead kids. As if carved into the depths of his soul, Christo jumped to his feet as he had done before, waving his hands and shouting loudly. (To be continued.) )
