The last time I came to the North District, the North District wizard had just been born, just like a clear spring just emerging from a pool of stagnant water, although it brought a bit of new atmosphere, but most of the water in the pool was still stagnant after all, stinking and dry, and the guests were hurrying in their steps, lest they be stained with a little stain.

After a week, entering the North District again, Zheng Qing found that there had been many impressive changes here.

The most striking thing is the color.

In the past, the North End was a gray world – gray linen robes, gray faces, gray streets, and gray-black mud walls on both sides of the streets.

Now the North District is much more colorful.

Pedestrians on the streets, whether it's North End wizards or tricksters, dare to dress up in more colorful costumes. And those dirty street corners full of garbage have also been cleaned up. The cracked glass from the windows on both sides of the street is gone, replaced by a clean, transparent glass. Even the gargoyles squatting at the mouth of the alley were wiped clean, and red ribbons were tied around their necks.

This change slightly exceeded the plans of the two young wizards, and also caused them a little trouble.

Because the last time he came to the North District, it was so bad to be 'watched', Zheng Qing had planned early in the morning that the next time he came to the North District, he would wear a gray robe similar to that of the locals.

And they did.

Zheng Qing wore a gray linen robe today, and although Jiang Yu was wearing a plain robe, she wore an extra gray cape, coupled with a wide hood, theoretically, the two of them should be much more low-key compared to the last time.

But the change on the streets of the North End has made the two young men in gray stand out again.

Walking down the road, more than one Northside resident looked at them with reproachful eyes, as if they were wearing gray to discredit the entire neighborhood. There were also a few old businessmen in the North District who pulled the sleeves of the young public scholarship students and sold them the silver satin brocade that had been popular recently.

"This robe color matches the hair color of the wizards of the Northern District!

"You young people, you're going to get that spell seal after all. ”

"Don't be discouraged, young man, the Great Sage is very merciful. ”

"You have to adjust your mentality first...... If you are still wearing gray robes, how will the Great Sage know that you want to become a true wizard?"

It seems that just by looking at the hair color of the two, these businessmen have already made up a lot of melancholy plots in their minds. The young public scholarship student had to speed up his pace in embarrassment, and hurried away amid Jiang Yu's snickering and the disappointed eyes of the clothing store owner.

It's just that Jiang Yu's snickering didn't last long.

As she walked a little deeper into the North District, the smile on her face disappeared.

Because the spring that had just awakened in the stagnant water of the pool was tumbling and brought up, in addition to the clear springs, there was also the dregs that had been precipitated at the bottom of the pool for a long time.

When there is no living water, the dregs quietly sink to the bottom of the water, pretending they don't exist.

With the living water, they were instantly reborn and reactivated, rising from the bottom of the pool as the water surged, painting the otherwise clear pool with a disgusting color.

For example, the wizards here already dare to whistle at Jiang Yu.

A month ago, if there was a kid from the North District who didn't know how serious he did, and there was no need for the wizard to speak, a large group of his own people from the North District rushed up with a look at him, dragged the kid who didn't know the severity and beat him violently.

And now, after hearing those frivolous whistles, Jiang Yu could only frown slightly and pull his hood lower. It's Zheng Qing, in addition to glaring angrily, it's not easy to react more excessively - after all, in the past, they didn't need to react, and the people in the North District themselves would react. As students at the first university, they don't and don't need to do that kind of dirty thing.

Of course, part of the reason why those young people in the North Side dared to whistle at the two of them was probably because of the gray robes on their bodies. If the two of them appeared on the streets of the North District wearing the robes of Jiuyou Academy, even if the current people in the North District had a whisper in private, they would never show it.

Neither of the two young men is a calculating person.

The slightest discomfort from the street experience didn't make them angry, or affect their plans to go on a 'business trip' to Gini Hut—at least to confirm Nicholas's return to school, they had to consult with the true owner of Gini Cottage.

"I thought it was going to be as crowded as last week. Standing in front of the Sakura Tavern, looking at the empty courtyard, Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

The last time I looked for Colma, from the entrance of Gu Diao Street, there were pious magicians prostrate and bowing, like a tide on top of each other, that kind of frenzy and crowding, Zheng Qing didn't want to experience a second time in his life.

"The Great Sage said, 'Respect and piety are not prostrate at my feet and weeping,' and she doesn't like the mess outside. "The two young wizards were greeted by a Northside witch, tall and pretty, with a lock of long silver hair hanging down from her ear.

Zheng Qing remembered that her name was Catherine, and she was a veteran of the Gini Hut.

"Is Colmar-senpai here?" the wizard asked hurriedly without greeting, and wanted to enter the door.

Catherine smiled, did not give way, and did not answer.

Jiang Yu was behind Zheng Qing and pulled his robe. The boy looked back in confusion, just in time to see the witch winking at him.

Zheng Qing blinked and stood behind the witch with a confused expression.

Jiang Yu took off his cloak and handed it to the boy, then after tidying up his clothes, he straightened up, raised his hand and made an ancient salute in the direction of the Gini hut, and said softly:

"The reputation of the Great Sage is very outstanding even in the Nine Talents Academy. We have benefited a lot from our previous interactions. This abrupt visit was about the academic problems of a student of Jiuyou Academy, hoping to get the guidance of the great sage. ”

Zheng Qing tried to keep a straight face and control himself from laughing—because he felt that this kind of rhetoric was a bit funny.

But after Catherine returned the same solemn salute, and then said that she would 'convey' the information of the two visits to the great sage, Zheng Qing suddenly couldn't laugh.

He thought of the 'growing' figure he had seen with his husband at the Gini hut last Friday night, and of some of the connotations that 'order' contained.

When the scattered North End magicians regain their dignity in the dust, the first thing they have to do is to forge the scepter of order and let chaos and disorder exit the world in the shadows.

Perhaps in Zheng Qing's eyes, Jiang Yu's words just now were a little funny. But in the eyes of many people, the witch's demeanor is elegant and mature.

Adults should be burdened with layers of heavy shackles and live in a world of rules.

Zheng Qing faintly felt a certain seed in the depths of his soul and beat slightly.

This is order, but not the order that Zheng Qing wants. Compared with this adult world full of red tape, polite words, and hypocrisy, Zheng Qing hopes that he can remain naïve and naïve until death.
