Chapter 42: Hearsay
The elves have been called one of the greatest creations of the wizarding world for five hundred years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
They freed the wizard's hands and acted as the wizard's assistants. Wizards can do something more meaningful with their free brains and hands, rather than watching the flames cautiously or holding glassware tremblingly.
According to Xiao Xiao's explanation, elves are magical alchemy creatures produced in groups, and there are no two groups of elves in the world that are exactly the same.
For example, the elves of the seeding system. When they are still seeds, the grower should prepare them with a suitable potion according to their own ideas and hearts. Until they sprout and grow, these elves can only live on these potions.
Their lives are closely tied to wizards, and when the wizards who planted them die, so do the elves who lose their potion supply.
Zheng Qing felt that this was a very unfair thing.
"They are also intelligent beings, and it would be unethical to do so. Zheng Qing racked his brains and tried to find some suitable words.
"What is wisdom, what is life, are they intelligent beings, and whose ethics do they conform to?" Xiao Xiao asked a series of rhetorical questions. Every time he asks a question, he puts a grilled scallop on his plate.
Zheng Qing was speechless. I could only silently pick up some squid rings from the dinner plate.
"This is a very profound philosophical question, and it is difficult to explain it in two words. Xiao Xiao finally picked up a glass of juice, took a sip, and concluded: "But according to the consensus of the general wizarding world, elves are alchemical products between wisdom and chaos. They cannot be regarded as intelligent beings. And they don't apply wizarding ethics. ”
Zheng Qing filled a bowl of corn soup.
He looked at the elves flying around him, and always felt that Xiao Xiao's statement was wrong.
"This way!" Not far away, Li Meng waved his small hand, occupied a large table, and beckoned the two of them.
The little monk was sitting silently beside her, with only a bowl of white rice and a plate of boiled cabbage in front of him.
The dining table is not far from the huge floor-to-ceiling window, sitting at the dining table, Zheng Qing can clearly see the rolling sea of clouds and the dazzling sunlight outside the window.
Putting down the dinner plate, Zheng Qing leaned lazily on the soft leather sofa.
A strong aroma rushed from behind him.
"What does this smell like?" he sniffled, feeling the scent familiar.
"Curly-haired dogs. Xiao Xiao sat across from him and explained expressionlessly.
Li Meng squirted the juice in her mouth on the ground with a puff, bent over, and laughed breathlessly. Several elves rushed over in horror, brought Li Meng a stack of wet wipes, and quickly cleaned up the stains on the floor.
After the little monk finished chewing the rice in his mouth, he recited "Amitabha".
Zheng Qing turned his head to look at it and couldn't help but smile.
Behind him sat a tall and thin boy, who was the boy who Xiao Xiao had previously evaluated the use of perfume as unqualified, and was described by Li Meng as the smell of a curly dog.
The boy sat at the table with four or five companions. Hearing the laughter, he glanced at this side suspiciously. Then he frowned again, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
......
Although there is a small piece of mashed potatoes that is not pureed, the sauce of the squid rings is a little spicy, and the aroma of quail eggs is a little strong, I have to admit that the ingredients in this cafeteria are quite delicious. Zheng Qing poured a large mouthful of corn soup and stuck out his tongue.
He raised his head, and Li Meng's small mouth on the other side was bulging and stuffed with food, like the hamster at home. Xiao Xiao chewed his roasted scallops slowly, his eyes fixed on the patterns on the shells, as if he could see a new world on them.
Behind him came the arrogant voice of the curly dog:
"Do you know that Four Seasons Fang was attacked by demons some time ago?"
Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows and sat up slightly straighter.
The encounter in Damingfang can be regarded as the most thrilling experience in his eighteen years. Whether it was the thunder spell released by Thomas, or the pig demon transformed by the fat man, it appeared in his sleep more than once.
As an eyewitness, he was intrigued by what other wizards thought of it.
The sound of conversation behind him was clearly heard.
"Yes, yes. There was a lot of noise in the newspapers. It is said that the nine cities under the name of the Four Seasons Fang have been attacked by unknown wild demons, and the leaders of the management committee have all sent letters to the wizarding council to apply for punishment. It seems that quite a few people died. "The speaker's voice was short, and there was some leakage, and his mouth should have been stuffed with food.
"The Beta Town Post tally put eight dead and 21 seriously injured. A shrill voice scoffed, "As if no one could see the wordplay they were playing." If you are injured by a wild demon attack, is there any chance of survival?"
"The Gentleman and the Lady report is very accurate, and they counted the death toll at 29. The other voice seemed to be a little unconfident, and added weakly: "The newspaper said that the Wizarding Alliance has sent nine investigation teams to inspect the security measures and processes of the Four Seasons Place, and the relevant report will be submitted and published at the end of October." ”
"I'm also curious. It is said that the people who make trouble in those markets are wild demons, and the number is very small, and most of them have only one wild demon. The last voice said slowly, his tone full of doubts: "According to the regulations, there should be a Witch League garrison team stationed in Fang City. The people of the garrison should not be unable to suppress even a wild demon. ”
"The garrison was transferred. The sound of a leak of food stuffed in his mouth sounded again: "My uncle is the captain of the garrison in Jinlingfang. They were reassigned to the New World Coordination a month ago. The order was very urgent, and he only sent a message to his family. My aunt was always worried about what was going on, and she had been crying in front of my mom lately. ”
"Could it be that the natives of the New World have counterattacked?" the slow voice seemed interested, and asked rhetorically, "It stands to reason that the situation over there should be very stable, and there should not be a shortage of manpower. ”
"No, no, no. The sound of air leakage sounded again, and Zheng Qing seemed to be able to see that the owner of this voice was shaking his head in a panic: "My old man inquired, it seems that the First University has some task to recall many high-level wizards stationed in the new world. So there's not enough manpower over there. There are no indigenous attacks. ”
The topic ran farther and farther, and the curly dog that opened the topic coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention to it.
"Do you know that there is a place in these attacked markets where there are no wizard casualties?"
"Isn't it Damingfang!" The harsh voice was still full of mockery: "A few days ago, the management committee of Damingfang was awarded a collective honor by the Wizarding Council - that's what I said. ”
"Tian is shameless!" Someone next to him immediately scolded: "It was the three-pronged sword that captured the wild demon." It is said that the people of the management committee have not come out from beginning to end, how can they be embarrassed to accept this honor!"
"The three-pronged sword just took away the wild demons, and the one who suppressed the wild demons in Damingfang is said to be a freshman of the first university this year. Someone added: "My neighbor's child sat in the office at the three-pronged sword, and said that the new student was a public-funded student of Jiuyou College. ”
"I've heard it too, it looks like that public student has cast a thunder spell! His spell directly destroys half the street!"
"There are also talismans, I heard that the freshman also used a very strong suppression talisman. The wild demon in Daming Fang was directly stunned!"
"Publicly-funded students are amazing!" the people around him were sighing.
Zheng Qing lowered his head and coughed violently.
