Chapter Seventy-Three: Adults Only Look at Positions
Tianyi Mansion is the residence of the Zhang family in the western district of Beta Town, not far from Qingqiu Mansion. It's just that Zheng Qing hasn't visited all this time.
Regarding Zhang Shuzhi's invitation, Zheng Qing was more of a polite and greeting.
So he bowed his head again and again and vaguely agreed.
Zhang Shuzhi finally nodded at Seprano and left directly. Zhang Jixin made a helpless expression at Zheng Qing, and quickly followed his brother's footsteps.
There were only four people left in the field: Seprano, Andrew, Zheng Qing, and Xiao Xiao.
Zheng Qing didn't feel that he had anything else to talk about with Seprano, but based on politeness, he felt that he needed to say hello before leaving. But before his 'kind words' could be spoken, Seprano turned to Andrew and said:
"Iseni's goods should have arrived, take them to receive them...... Prepare to go back to school. β
Andrew was ordered to leave.
Seprano looked at Xiao Xiao again.
"Dr. Xiao, look up for a long time. The horizontal flesh on his face squeezed each other, and a smile was twisted: "I heard that you are very good at divination? When I passed by shop seventeen, I saw that the owner inside was selling a copy of the 1904 edition of the Book of the Law, and on the copy was a copy of the Tholtaro divination elements written by Aleister Crowley. Maybe you may be interested. It's not too late to go...... Few fish-people would be interested in tarot cards. β
Thot Tarot is a divination technique for tarot cards, while Crowley was a very famous occultist in the wizarding world in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Book of the Law is also a legendary work inspired by a 'mysterious being'.
Xiao Xiao raised her eyebrows.
He was really interested in those things that Seprano mentioned.
But the Ouroboros in front of him was trying to steer him away too obviousβalmost explicitly. Xiao Xiao turned his head and glanced at Zheng Qing, seeking his opinion.
Zheng Qing also came to his senses.
He looked around, although the location of several people was relatively secret, but it was also in full view, even if the fat wizard in front of him wanted to beat himself, it was not so easy.
So while trying to visualize his Colt python in his mind, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said to the doctor with a smile: "You go and see it first...... If the book is suitable, you can buy it with D&K's account. Remember to invoic. β
Xiao Xiao nodded silently and left quietly.
Seprano looked at the two of them approvingly.
"See the subtle knowledge. He struggled to squeeze out a smile: "A wizard who can be so careful in small things will definitely be able to do big things in the future." β
Zheng Qing was taken aback.
Hell, is Seprano boasting about himself?
He subconsciously looked left and right again, and there was no one around? Who was he looking for? Did he really think that he had just done a good job? No kidding!
In Zheng Qing's opinion, his relationship with Seprano has never been good. The two can nod and say hello to each other when they meet, and they are already looking at the faces of others and maintaining the lowest level of classmate relationship.
Therefore, when Seprano coldly praised himself for such a moment, Zheng Qing's first reaction was whether he had some conspiracy.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" asked the wizard very cautiously.
Seprano lowered his eyelids, as if pondering how to answer the question.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked abruptly:
"Have you ever hunted a wild goblin?"
This question was separated from the previous topic by 108,000 miles, and Zheng Qing couldn't tell what Seprano wanted to say, so he replied vaguely: "Is there that kind of 'hunting' in hunting......?
The fat wizard didn't seem to hear his answer, and spoke slowly to himself:
"I've chased it, a wolf. β
"It was a hunting ground with bushes, meadows, swamps. The strength of the wolf demon is not high, only about half the strength of a registered wizard. I was the hunter of the hunting team at the time, and in order to find the wolf demon's group, I did not kill it immediately, but marked it and followed it behind it for two whole days......"
Zheng Qing listened a little seriously at this timeβhe couldn't think of any hunting competition in the school that would last for two days, so he guessed that it was a hunting competition that Seprano participated in outside of school.
β...... For two whole days," Seprano's tone suddenly became a little sad, "the old wolf took me around the swamp, and on several occasions almost led me into a pack of Grindillo's lair. β
As we all know, a single Grindillo is just a bit of a disgusting spirit, but the crowds of Grindillo, especially the Grindillo with the lair, are even more terrifying than Ogubugu.
Ogubugu is a serpentine water monster that loves to devour animals that pass by the surface of the water and is said to grow to be more than a hundred meters long. During a previous visit to the polder market, Zheng Qing saw a vendor selling amulets that were said to be made of Ogubugu scales. But he suspected it was just a gimmick.
β...... That's it, it runs, I chase, it keeps running, I keep chasing...... I guess it won't last long. And then suddenly, in a flash, it suddenly vanished. β
"Gone?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows: "Under your nose, is it a ghost wolf?"
The ghost wolf is also a kind of wolf demon, known for its mysterious whereabouts, flickering and flickering, and there are often hunters who lose the trace of the ghost wolf during the hunt.
"Yes, right under my nose, but it's not a ghost wolf, or a normal ghost fire wolf. Seprano crossed his arms, his eyes fell on the noisy crowd in the distance, and whispered, "Disappear like snowflakes melting." The footprints, the breath, and even the marks I planted on it were gone...... Although it is somewhat incredible, it is not without precedent in the history of hunting...... I thought it had fallen into some spatial rift, so I had to admit that it was unlucky and return to the hunting team. β
"Because of the lack of a group of wolf demons, our hunting team eventually lost the hunt. β
"After the hunt, I realized that the old wolf had no way to get out of my pursuit, and finally chose to sink into the swamp in order to protect the group. β
"The swamp is deep and muddy, and it is cut off from the imprint of magic. β
At this, Seprano exhaled softly, as if reminiscing about the emotion of the hunt. Zheng Qing, on the other hand, tried to extract the elements in the little story just now, and explored the meaning he wanted to express behind the story.
"I don't mean anything else by telling this story," Seprano explained, not baffling the wizard for too long, "but I've been feeling emotionally moved by the things that have been going on lately." Everyone has their own position and everyone has their own choice. β
"It is often said that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil...... This statement is actually not true. β
"Good and evil are very complex concepts. His honey, my arsenic, what is good to it, may be evil to me. How can it be confused? β
"Children only talk about good and evil, and adults only look at their positions. β
"We're all adults now. β
