As long as you're willing to speak up.

After hearing Huang Huaci speak, Lao Yao had a satisfied smile on his face.

He tapped the teacup with his chopsticks, ding-ding-ding, and then continued: "I remember the headmaster saying before that cause and effect are like a big net that firmly binds every soul who wants to be free...... The stronger the power, the stronger the binding force of this great net. Phuket Island, or First University, is the most powerful place in the wizarding world. ”

"Since you have taken the initiative to appear in the center of this net, you should be prepared to be bound by the net. ”

"For example, Zheng Qing's classmate ......"

Huang Huaci cast a warning glance at Professor Yao.

Lao Yao immediately raised his chopsticks, picked up another peanut, and changed it to an example: "Another example is that big mouse, which is also a thread that binds your hands and feet...... Are you still looking for the big mouse? It's a rat now, and you can't catch it if you want to run for your life. ”

"It's your business!" the yellow civet cocked his beard upward, and his temper grew worse.

"Because that big net is not isolated. Every node on the network is interconnected. Lao Yao spread his hands, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became a little serious:

"Every move we make affects the existence of other nodes on the network. For example, your perseverance in the pursuit of the Rat Immortal may be the last straw that crushes it, making it give up the olive branch handed by the school and accept the solicitation of the Dark Council......"

"So what!" Huang Hua Fox's beard rolled inward as if it had been burned by fire, and the corner of his eyes hung high, and he glared at Lao Yao viciously, as if he would pounce on him and bite out seven or eight bloody holes in his body in the next moment.

Just a kind reminder. Lao Yao smiled slightly, lowered his head and picked up the last peanut with chopsticks, and rolled it in the bright red sauce:

"In every era, there is a theme in every era. The theme of each generation is chaotic until it is finalized. The only thing we can be sure of is that no matter what era, no matter what the theme, young people are always the final respondents. ”

"I'm old, you're old, but they're still young. ”

"When the tide of the times rolls over and they are not ready, we are the last breakwater. They stood on the embankment and looked at us, just as we looked at the old people in front of us......"

Hearing this, the expression on Huang Huaci's face finally eased a lot.

Its whiskers stretched again, and its tail drooped haphazardly.

It's just that it still doesn't speak very well:

"You sound like an old wizard rather than an old monster...... Is it just taking care of the town? Well, that little girl in the North District can also help a lot...... Tell me in advance, I'm busy, how long do I have to take care of it?"

Professor Yao chuckled lowly.

"Not long, not too long. His figure faded in laughter, like a shadow under the sun, from thick to dissipated: "Two weeks at most...... It's likely that everyone will be free this weekend. ”

The guest leaves.

The Sanyou Book House became empty again.

Huang Huaci stared at the teapot and saucer left by Lao Yao, and a feeling of trouble rose in his heart for no reason. It simply lowered its head, pricked up its ears, and retraced the surging rat tide underground.

The small and grand footsteps of the rats, like the white noise of the rain, made the boredom in its heart slowly dissipate, and the mood was quiet again.

......

......

Rat tides swell in underground burrows.

Passing through the intertwined roots, over the rocky fields, and finally pouring into the wide, serene river of silence after a damp and vapour-filled passage.

The moment they entered the water, the rats' vests automatically bounced up a round transparent film, like soap bubbles, wrapping most of their bodies inside, leaving only a slender tail outside the film.

Their tails flattened when exposed to water become tail fins.

It's like tadpoles.

The rat in the red vest was clearly familiar with this, and with a slight swing of its tail fin, it quickly adjusted its posture and continued silently along the current.

The rats in cyan vests move a little jerky, but they can also act independently.

Only those cubs wearing yellow vests, I don't know if it is the first time to go into the water, one by one is very nervous, often a dozen 'soap bubbles' are clustered together, more than a dozen tails are entangled with each other, rolling in the water and flipping, half a day can not move three or five meters.

In the end, a few tall rats in red vests came forward and walked forward with the strings of soap bubbles.

Not far from the tadpoles, a witch was silently watching it all.

The water in the river of silence is bubbling and flowing.

Colmar sat in a secluded cove by the river, beneath him a dead and reclining poplar, its bark covered with moss and mushrooms.

She turned her face sideways, listening to the sound of the tide surging in the river, and with her left hand she caressed a silver ring on the middle finger of her right hand, which was embedded with an amber that, through the translucent brown, could faintly see the shadow of a mountain in the amber.

The ring was a congratulatory gift from the Rat Immortal after she became a great wizard. There is a small world in Amber that can be used to house her true form.

"It's high tide. ”

She sighed softly, her long hair rising and falling in the wet river breeze, and her wide robes drifting back, obscuring the watchful eyes of the woods.

A Northern District witch standing beside her poked her head into the river, scratching her head, puzzled - the Silent River was as gentle as ever, where was there any sign of a rising tide?

Colmar withdrew her gaze to the bottom of the river.

"Go on. She instructed the witch beside her.

The witch had just reported to her some of the bad signs that the wizards of the North End, or more precisely, the North Side magicians, had just discovered.

"Yes, Great Sage. The witch bowed her head respectfully and continued to report, "...... Because it takes a strong body to bear your spell mark, there has been a great demand for the qi-increasing Jiaguo and the long-strength Syalwood Fruit in the Northern District recently, and the fruits on the outskirts of the Silent Forest have been picked up, so everyone can only go deeper into the forest to find them. ”

"In the process of finding a new harvesting site, our people discovered an unusual gathering of certain races in the Silent Forest. This includes the scourge hordes, venomhorns, and corpse eaters that appeared just a few months ago, as well as centaurs and goblins...... Some even saw the shadows of dragons and giants. ”

"Theoretically, many of these figures will only appear before the Kuroshio. Not even in the Kuroshio Current. ”

"In other words," Colmar interrupted his report, concluding, "Do you think a new round of Kuroshio is about to break out in the Silent Forest?"

"Yes. ”
