Chapter 115: Cross-Validation
"Ancestor?"
"The old ancestor is naturally the old ancestor...... It is the oldest and oldest elder of our rat clan. Oh, by the way, its mana is also the greatest, and it is said that it once made the school professor cry!"
At the mention of its own ancestor, the chatter of jingling ears immediately became much more excited, and it did not seem to be afraid to show off to the young wizards in front of it all kinds of glorious deeds and great images of its own ancestors—perhaps it thought that doing so would make the wizards and cats and foxes in front of it respect it a little more.
Zheng Qing was skeptical.
Although the little boy Lin Guo's eyes lit up under the story of Jingle Ears, and those stupid cats and stupid foxes sat in rows, claws and paws, listening with pleasure, but what the truth is, after all, there is a long distance from them, the children in the wall, they have no way, and they have no way or interest in going to the field to verify.
Of course, having said that, Zheng Qing is not blatantly suspicious that a certain very old mouse is the ancestor of these talking mice in clothes. He just wondered what a rat needed to go to make the school professor cry. In addition, the age of their ancestors mentioned by Jingle Bell is also very scrutinized.
According to Jingle Ear, their ancestors had been the mentors of the rats for thousands of years, but only a few minutes later, when referring to the medieval Black Death that had affected the world of Baiding, the rat speaker said that it had happened when their ancestors were still minors—because he wanted to describe the terrible plague as a serious consequence of their ancestor's casual temper tantrum when he was a child—only in this way, the age of the rat ancestors was reduced from thousands of years to hundreds of years.
The young scholar had reason to believe that if Jingle Ear continued to tell a few stories about their ancestors, then the age of that Rat Clan senior might drop a little more. After all, compared with humans, the lifespan of ordinary mice is only one to three years, so it is inevitable that there will be exaggeration and distortion when measuring the life of mice according to the time span of humans.
"I think we've all asked that guy called Dingdong Ears before. The black cat leaned into the little wizard's ear and whispered to him.
"I think the doctor wanted to cross-test their answers. Lin Guo also lowered his voice and replied in a low voice, "After all, so far, we have only encountered two such beings...... No one can say for sure if their answers are correct. ”
"To be honest, I can't even tell what they look like. The black cat sighed, "It seems to me that this clothed mouse today feels no different from the one we met last time...... Maybe there's only one talking mouse from beginning to end, but it's schizophrenic. ”
"Good idea!" Lin Guo immediately gave a thumbs up and praised him: "Professor Emma said that wizards must learn to make bold assumptions in order to go further on the road of knowledge...... But you're a cat now, can't you tell what these mice look like? I thought I was the only one who couldn't tell the difference. ”
"I'm a wizard-turned-cat!Not a real cat!" The black cat suddenly felt a little tired when he heard this: "Besides, people of different colors will be face blind between them...... Is it strange that I can't tell the difference between a gray mouse and a black cat?"
"I just think we should be a little more careful when it comes to food. Lin Guo threw out a very convincing reason: "Just like me, although I belong to a different species from eggs, I can clearly distinguish the difference between fried eggs, poached eggs, tea eggs and egg custard." Alternatively, I can tell the subtle difference in the browning of the different omelettes...... I think it makes sense. ”
The black cat glanced at the little witch wordlessly.
He feels that the generation gap between himself and this child is not only reflected in the concept of age and time, but also includes the deeper differences between thinking styles and cognitive abilities.
"Ahem!" In front, Xiao Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the little mouse, looked back at the whispering little wizard and the black cat, coughed twice, stopped their discussion, and then turned around and continued to ask:
“...... Where do you usually live? inside the school or outside the Silent Forest?"
Perhaps thinking that the second question of Jingle Ear was well answered, Dr. Xiao also threw the small diamond on his fingertip to the clothed mouse in front of him.
Rat Jun flexibly stretched out his paws, grabbed the beautiful stone that slid through an arc in mid-air, skillfully stuffed it into his crotch, and thanked the doctor loudly in an exaggerated tone, while lowering his voice and whispering:
"I can't answer that question...... You know, this matter is related to the safety of our race, if you want to know about this problem, you can first apply to the clan, fill out a set of 180 pages of application form, if the ancestor nods, I can tell you. ”
"Otherwise, even if you open my skull, stew my brain, or spread it into pancakes, you won't find any useful information...... I heard that this magic was invented by your wizards!"
When Zheng Qing heard this, he couldn't help pouting.
Listening to the meaning of the jingle ears, they also seem to have been cast with a silent pact of magic before going out. In this way, the outgoing rats can still find their way home, but the hope of anyone trying to find useful clues from their memories becomes very slim.
Xiao Xiao was not surprised when she heard this answer, but just shrugged her shoulders, scratched the paper a few times with a quill, and then asked the last question:
"So one last thing...... Why do you want those mice? If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Mouse, another dressed Mr. Mouse we met before, also wanted to ask us for a few mice. ”
"According to my understanding, those guys," Xiao Xiao said, pointing to the mouse ball that was still shivering not far away, and said, "They should belong to two completely different races from you...... Not to mention magical abilities, mere wisdom has drawn a deep trench between you. ”
"It's like the difference between a human and a monkey. If humans were going to catch a few monkeys, there would be no more than a lab to stuff their distant primate relatives into a zoo...... So, can I guess that you're going to ask those little mice to do some kind of experiment?"
Xiao Xiao's words were quick and urgent, but the words were clear and the meaning was clear. It can be seen that these words have been holding back in his heart for a long time.
