Chapter 54: A Song of Ice and Fire
Zheng Qing never thought that he would get involved in the troubles of the forest goods market in such a way.
When the sheriff in the northern district of Beta asked if there were any registered hunters in the store, he was still wondering whether to go back to school later, or stop by the beta pedestrian street to see the Valentine's Day gifts.
After all, such a big thing happened in the forest goods market, it is estimated that it will not be able to be done for a while and a half, and their original intention of continuing to purchase in the afternoon must have been lost.
It's just that after thinking about it, he ignored that there was a very 'career-minded' school newspaper reporter among his companions - a little earlier, in the forest goods market, if it wasn't for Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao who pulled him desperately, the fat man would have followed behind Commissioner Andrew of the Three-Pronged Sword to do an interview.
As a fat man Xin who is determined to impact the 'Golden Quill Pen', seeing that he can participate in this big news involving alien envoys, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Outside the window, the violent fluctuations of magic became more and more obvious.
In the hotel, the witches and wizards stared widely, and their eyes finally focused on Xin Fatzi and the others at the table.
The corners of Zheng Qing's mouth twitched, staring at the fat man in front of him, and he had already put him in the oil pot, stir-fried, and stewed a hundred times in his heart. He believed that Xiao Xiao, who was silently cleaning up his notebook next to him, also had the same idea in his heart.
Fat Xin laughed and winked at Zheng Qing, but his raised arm had no intention of retracting it.
"Is it okay for a prospective hunter?" he looked at the sheriff standing at the bar with a brave and fearless expression, "Although our Huntsman is not officially registered yet, it is only a matter of time...... Guarding the safety of the wizarding world is the duty of every First University student!"
The words were sonorous and powerful, and the words were righteous.
If Zheng Qing didn't know the fat man's plan, he almost believed it.
"Ahh
This slightly abrupt explanation drew more and more attention to the three young wizards.
Fat Xin stood up with his belly shy, trying his best to show a modest smile on his face, pointing at Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao, and introduced: "...... Although the hunters of our hunting team are incomplete now, we have our strongest captain, the most powerful soothsayer, and me, an ordinary auxiliary hunter, enough to form a small search hunting team. ”
Zheng Qing felt that his ears were about to burn.
He didn't need to look around, his not-so-sensitive ears alone could catch a large wave of very interested whispers. Trying to keep a straight face, he lifted his head to look at the sheriff's chin.
Loose and sloppy, not very bearded.
Since he has been dragged into the water by the fat man, he has to take out the momentum of the Great Arcana and continue to shrink his head and brain, except to make himself appear to be irresponsible.
"If you need our help, you can't do it. The young scholar stood up, bowed slightly, and spoke in a polite tone.
"Good. The sheriff looked at him with great interest, and then turned back to the proprietress of the shop and said, "Their expenses should be credited to my account...... Let's go back and count it together. ”
Then he beckoned to the three young wizards: "Follow me...... Take out your Dharma books, and maybe you'll need them later. ”
When Zheng Qing heard this, he immediately took out his law book and grabbed it in his hand.
After taking a few steps, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached into the gray cloth bag and pulled out his Colt Silver Python. If something unexpected happens, it's always faster to shoot than to flip through a book.
Xiao Xiao was one position behind Zheng Qing, followed closely behind, and did not take out the law book according to the sheriff's request, but took out a dried turtle shell and placed it in front of him. The turtle's shell was covered with golden talismans, flowing slowly between the wizard's fingers.
Fat Xin was the last of the three of them - mainly because the leftover fried chicken and braised pork on the packing table wasted some of his time - and when he passed by the front desk on the door, he also asked the proprietress for a few mints and a wet paper towel with a crooked face.
"Shhh...... I thought the fire was going to be hot!" After the fat man pushed the door out, he immediately shivered, and stuffed a piece of mint candy into one of his two companions: "Why is it so cold?!"
Zheng Qing frowned, took the mint candy, and nodded: "It's indeed a bit unusual." ”
The temperature outside the store was unexpectedly cold, not the slightest heat that should be after a fire, but rather the feeling of snow and ice. Every breath brings out a white mist.
Zheng Qing raised his head and looked at the sky.
The winter sun was not particularly warm in the first place, but now it is especially cold. If it weren't for the time on the clock and the brightness around them, Zheng Qing would have had every reason to believe that it was a moon hanging above their heads, not the sun.
"Huh......" The sheriff exhaled a long breath, white as an arrow, leaving a deep mark in the air: "Don't be a wild hunt. ”
Robert likewise looked up, glanced at the cold sun, and muttered.
Immediately, he cheered up and glanced back at the boy behind him: "Will the Four Elephants Array?" I stand in the old yang position, in the first place, the fortune teller stands in the old yin position, and press the formation in the back, and the fat man is in the young yin position, and the left auxiliary ...... There is also the world, you stand on the side of the young yang, and contain it on the side. ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the talisman gun in Zheng Qing's hand again, and added with a smile: "The weapon is good, and the containment is just right." ”
The three boys of the Guilty Hunting Team nodded nervously and did not object.
Although it was only a few short conversations, the sheriff of Beta Town arranged his tactics and positions very reasonably, and he could be called experienced.
As for the position and movement of the Four Elephants Array, the Sin Hunting Team practiced a lot last semester under the supervision of Deng Xiaojian, and they were very familiar with it.
The diamond-shaped battle array was shrouded in a pale yellow guardian halo, swaying from side to side, and rushing into the forest goods market.
As soon as I crossed the gate of the market, the original feeling of extreme cold suddenly disappeared and turned into a hot and dry heat. In an instant, as if stepping from the magma into the sea of ice, the magical guardian light that shrouded everyone flickered and almost disappeared.
At the same time, the noise, riots, and sirens that were originally hidden by the forest market guardian circle also penetrated everyone's ears.
What caught Zheng Qing's eyes was a chaotic scene.
Dozens of black-backed and fork-tailed scourges scurry through the market, carrying black smoke and crimson flames, knocking over countless stalls along the way, setting fire to dozens of houses, and causing panic and urine flow among the vendors and customers in the market.
A little farther away, the guests of the Duo Yan were working with the commissioner of the Trident Sword to suppress the burning scene.
Farther away, at the end of the forest market, a huge gap appeared in the wall adjacent to the Silent River.
Where the scourge came from, it is easy to see.
"A handful of foggy grass," the sheriff scolded in a low voice, "Sure enough, there is no worst, only worse." ”
