Chapter 55: Bad Luck

Walking through the auction house, Luo Xue walked all the way to the large fountain in the center of Overwatch City, and saw a heretic being chased by soldiers. That heretic Luo Xue had seen it many times before, and at this moment, the seedlings on his head had already branched out, and his whole body had begun to lignify.

But he was still very agile in his movements, and he seemed to be familiar with the spear projection of the soldiers behind him, and he turned into an alley.

Luo Xue watched the soldiers around him chase him into the alley, and this familiar feeling made him feel like he was back in the first day of coming to Overwatch City.

The heretic hadn't been caught yet, and I didn't know whether to call him powerful or the soldiers in the city useless. Luo Xue thought to herself, and unconsciously put her hands on her chest.

Why put it on his chest, of course, because in his memory, a thief would come and steal his things at this time, and he had just received four purple gold coins from the Adventurers' Guild, but he couldn't be stolen again. He had put the purple gold coin in his arms before, just to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

No, he groped with his hands on his chest, but he didn't feel the presence of the purple gold coin!

How could this be, why did this happen to him twice! Luo Xue was completely crazy, this is the money she earned desperately, and it is also the money for her own survival in the future, and she is so gone!

It's definitely you! Such a coincidence made Luo Xue 100% sure that this money-stealing jackalo had an ulterior connection with the infidels.

There were no suspicious people or objects around except for the pedestrians who had been kept away from the chase between the soldiers and the infidels. This rabbit must have the same camouflage abilities as the icetail worm I encountered earlier. There was absolutely nothing he could do about this invisible creature.

But how did it steal the coins that were stored directly from it in the moment I didn't feel it? The only possibility is that it has also awakened an unknown ability.

In this area, all traces have long been covered by pedestrians coming and going, and there is no way to detect and track them.

"Ahhh

Imperial Soil Academy, Laboratory 13.

Dejected, Luo Xue came to the laboratory and briefed the magic mentor Sang Lan on the completion of her mission.

After having seen the true strength of the magic master, Luo Xue still couldn't raise a little awe when facing Sang Lan. His current good mood was messed up by all the things that happened today, and he also concealed what happened to him after the appearance of the alien, only saying that he was evacuated with the adventurers.

Today, Sang Lan was quite energetic, he listened to Luo Xue's narration, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Good job! But my assistant's strength is more than just this little bit of water!"

He seemed to have confidence in Luo Xue's strength, but it made Luo Xue feel a little helpless. Sang Lan has never taught anything as his mentor, how can he still know his strength.

Of course, Luo Xue couldn't say that, so he had to turn his back and say something against his will: "It's all taught well by the tutor." Even Luo Xue herself felt ashamed when she said this.

"Hahaha! Do you think you can deceive me! Actually, you are saying in your heart that I didn't teach you anything!" Sang Lan was not as happy as Luo Xue expected, but said unhappily. made Luo Xue stunned.

This old guy really can't judge by common sense, and it is estimated that he is holding back something at home. Luo Xue didn't know what to say at all, knowing that she hadn't taught it, she could still say it so shamelessly. Luo Xue had already begun to wonder if the relationship between the magic master and the assistant was what she understood.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, but it was slightly louder.

Knock, knock, knock! It turns out that the old mage next door has come to slam on the door again. Luo Xue helped open the door, and saw him standing at the door again, his body shaking violently with anger.

Before he could say anything, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, pointed his finger at Sang Lan in the house, and couldn't say a word for a long time.

"Isn't this Ted? What's going on?Why are you so angry!" Seeing the angry old man Ted, Sang Lan's angry expression on Luo Xue immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees, turning into a gentle smile. The speed of this change of face made Luo Xue embarrassed.

Luo Xue turned her head away, stood aside, looked at the scenery outside the window, and didn't want to pay attention to the of the two of them.

Ted lifted a cage with his other hand, and there was a parrot in the cage. The parrot's head hung down on its neck, and its eyes lost their lustre. The fur on the parrot's body was dull and almost clean, but it could still be seen how brilliant it had been, and it definitely had a colorful bird life before.

He said bitterly, as if this bird was his lifeline: "Look what bad idea you have! I worked so hard to raise such a big bird with your method, and the result is like this!"

"Didn't you say that it has a little magical talent and wants to activate the power in its body? Sang Lan said with an aggrieved face, indicating that this problem was not her own reason.

When Ted heard this, his beard was so angry that he was about to go to heaven, and he saw Luo Xue next to him in a blink of an eye, and immediately understood that Luo Xue was Sang Lan's assistant, so he angrily stuffed the parrot into Luo Xue's hand: "I will hand over this parrot to your assistant for safekeeping, and you must raise it until it grows feathers again, and not a single feather is missing!"

With that, Ted closed the door angrily, and the violent roar on the door belt startled Luo Xue and the listless parrot. It seems that Ted will not be able to get rid of his anger for a while.

The innocent Luo Xue had a word of suffering, he looked at Sang Lan, this hateful Sang Lan actually raised his head and hummed a little song, pretending not to hear. It seems that this parrot still has to be raised by itself.

Humming a little song, he took out two bottles of ale from the homemade refrigerator and sat down in a small round chair. He shook a bottle of ale to Luo Xue: "Do you want a bottle?"

"I don't drink. Luo Xue remembered the last time the traveler Wenke poured wine on him, and she felt scared for a while, so she waved her hand again and again to refuse Sang Lan's kindness. What's even more infuriating is that the moment Luo Xue opened the refrigerator, he saw a listless icetail insect sealed inside by a spell.

I actually made a refrigerator out of the icetail worms I had worked so hard to catch, and Luo Xue had a thousand antlered rabbits rushing through her heart.

"Then take this thing away, and come to me if you have anything. Sang Lan rummaged through the cabinet in the back and threw him to Luo Xue. Luo Xue caught what Sang Lan threw over, it was a book.

Is it his magic book? Luo Xue was surprised and delighted, he didn't expect to have this kind of benefit as an assistant to the magic master, and he happily turned the book over the front.

"Parrot...... Target...... One hundred ...... Feeding method" Luo Xue, who was excited, read the title of the book word by word, the corners of her mouth, which were originally slightly raised, gradually bent down, and her eyes gradually turned a little black.

This guy must have taken care of Ted's parrot on a regular basis...... It was the only thing Luo Xue could think of.

......

On the second floor of the little red and white room, Luo Xue returned to his new residence with the parrot, he put the cage on the table, held his face and said to the parrot in the cage: "You have to grow up quickly." ”

The parrot seemed to hear his words, and didn't know whether it understood or didn't understand the "oh" sound, as if it was because it was often used to being played around by its own owner, and it had become a habit.

Unexpectedly, it was quite spiritual, Luo Xue suddenly became interested, and said to it: "If only I knew that you had a name." ”

The parrot really tilted its head and replied without strength: "Shell." ”

It hadn't spoken since it had been carrying the cage all the way, and this cold sentence made Luo Xue startled. He was just reassuring himself that he didn't want it to actually speak.

The parrot looked at Luo Xue with a pair of eyes staring at the mentally handicapped, and saw that Luo Xue's heart was numb, how could this guy be like a smart monster.

Well, despised by a bird again. Why do you want to add another word, Luo Xue complained in her heart about her unconscious word "again", and suddenly remembered that the first person who despised him was a little beaver.

Little beaver, the cute beaver became vivid in Luo Xue's mind. He remembered the beaver family by the Fanshui River, and he didn't know what happened to them after such a long time. But how did she get involved with them, Luo Xue carefully rummaged through the past memories and found that her memory seemed to be blank.

His thoughts drifted away, but he was pulled back to reality by a cough from a parrot.

"The shell is hungry, and the shell wants to eat. ”

It speaks, and it seems to understand its own words. Luo Xue came back to her senses and carefully observed the parrot's condition. All in all, he could easily help it get whatever it needed in this way. Luo Xue felt that this kind of work seemed to be relatively easy.

"What are you going to eat? Luo Xue asked it gently. But no matter how good the job is, you have to take good care of it and not make Ted angry. Otherwise, a magic master's anger would not be able to bear it, and Sang Lan, an old fellow, would definitely not help him.

"Shell wants to eat flame fish, and Shell only eats flame fish. "The parrot spreads its wings, with only sporadic feathers hanging from it.

What is this, Luo Xueke has never heard of a fish that will emit flames, so doesn't it boil the water in which it lives?

He opened "A Hundred Methods of Raising Parrots" and found the Flame Fish, which said that Mentor Sanglan usually went to the magical pet shop in Overwatch City to buy it.

It turned out to be just a small pet cookie. Luo Xue was defeated by her previous association and was completely convinced. Even this small biscuit, which looks like a fire and a fish, can be called a flame fish.

It seems that you can only go to the magic pet shop in the commercial area and ask if there is any there. Luo Xue said to the parrot: "Then I'll go to the pet store, is it okay for you to stay here by yourself?"

The parrot obediently answered, hid its head in its wings and fell asleep for a while.

Good parrot, Luo Xue closed the door, just keep it as her own pet for a while, and most of today's unpleasantness has dissipated. He happily took to the streets, ready to buy pet feed for the parrots.
