The disappearance of Lin Guo's black goat did not stir up much turmoil at First University.

At the moment, there are too many more important things in the First University to attract the attention of the students - the conflict between Jiuyou and Alpha, the internal debate of Atlas, the unlimited fighting match of the Star Academy, the blood-shritching Nicholas, the results of the accident between Rezhe and Augustus, the new sacrificial flow wizard in the northern district of Beta Town, the vice president of the student council who has quietly promoted to the rank of Grand Wizard, and so on.

Slightly less impressive, the Fish-Man Tribe of Linzhong Lake, the Centaur Tribe who are still stranded outside Fort Alpha, and the Underground Rat Clan, who have been a little restless recently due to the disappearance of the Rat Immortals, are also frequent visitors to the Beta Town Post or School Newspaper.

A black sheep that has temporarily lost its track is a little insignificant in comparison—the school's newspapers and gossip may focus more on the love story of a particular chief student than a small animal—and besides, there are not a hundred but eighty pets that sneak out for a month every year, and it is impossible for the school to organize a search party for every pet that has disappeared for a short period of time, or waste the precious energy of a professional fortune teller.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait patiently for a few days," the wizard on duty at the school working committee comforted Lin Guo in a harmonious voice, and said with a smile: "Maybe in a few days you will find that your sheep have returned to the pet farm honestly, with a flock of lambs behind you...... It's still late spring, and it's common for animals to forget their owners after going into heat. ”

This answer was a little narrow, and Zheng Qing couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't laugh, there's a precedent for this kind of thing. The wizard on duty said to the two young people seriously: "Some time ago, a hedgehog from the Star Academy brought a group of kittens back to the pet park......

"Hedgehog with kittens?" Lin Guo's attention was immediately diverted by this strange statement.

Zheng Qing sighed silently in his heart, he was still too young, and he was changed the topic so easily.

But he was also interested in the story of the wizard on duty and quietly pricked up his ears.

“...... Yes, the hair on those kittens is exactly the same as the thorns on the hedgehog's body, it is carved out of a mold, and it looks like the hedgehog's species. ”

"But how could a hedgehog give birth to a cat?" Lin Guo still couldn't understand.

"Hedgehog cat, haven't you heard of it?" the wizard on duty raised an index finger and shook it at the little wizard: "A very rare magical creature, a half-blood, chubby, very cute, and Pu Velvet are two extremes...... You can't expect to know all the magical creatures in the wizarding world, not even the great wizards at the school's Institute of Magical Creatures. ”

"But cats and hedgehogs...... There is reproductive isolation. The little wizard was hesitant by this explanation—it seemed that he was mindful of his big black sheep bringing back a flock of little lambs with wings or gills.

"Magic, anything is possible. The wizard on duty lifted his chin with confidence and nodded.

"In other words, the school working committee has no way to open a case to investigate the disappearance of the black sheep, right?" Zheng Qing forcibly corrected the topic back to the right path.

Lin Guo immediately looked at the wizard on duty.

The gray-robed school worker glanced at the young public scholarship student and sighed, "It's not the first time you've asked that, right...... If I'm not mistaken......"

As he spoke, he flipped through the folder in his hand:

“...... Well, if I'm not mistaken, some time ago, because a pet snake went missing, you went to the school committee. Since then, there has been no change in the process of handling the relevant cases by the school committee. ”

"But it turned out that something really happened to the snake...... You should be more active in this kind of thing. Zheng Qing suddenly felt the need to complain to the student union about the sluggish and bureaucratic style of the school committee, which is the responsibility and obligation of every publicly-funded student.

The wizard on duty blinked and closed the folder in his hand.

"We will seriously consider your suggestions. He replied dryly, and then stared at the two young men in front of him with a pair of blank eyes, as if suffering from aphasia for a moment.

There was an embarrassing silence in the duty room for a moment.

Zheng Qing coughed, pulled Lin Guo and walked out: "Since that's the case...... I'm sorry for you. Laborious. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard, that's what we're supposed to do. The wizard on duty seemed to have suddenly woken up from hibernation, his eyes moving a little more - but that was all, he didn't even get up to see the two classmates off. He just quickly closed the folder in front of him.

Leaving the office of the school working committee, it was noon.

It rained in the morning, and the sun didn't come out, and it always hid behind the clouds. The air is warm, the breeze is slightly drunk, and it is so comfortable that people can't help but stretch their waists, and forget about the unpleasant experience just now.

After stretching his waist, Zheng Qing took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

There is a small stain on the transparent glass case of the pocket watch, like the marinade splashed by the fat man when he eats the chicken thighs. Zheng Qing sighed distressedly and rubbed his cuffs.

Well, the stain was rubbed off.

The wizard breathed a sigh of relief—he was counting on the ability to travel through history with this pocket watch in the future. So now it must be cherished.

The hands on the dial indicate that it is now 1:20 p.m.

There is still more than half an hour left before the afternoon class. After eating at noon today, he accompanied Lin Guo to the office of the school working committee to 'report', queue up, fill out the form, wait, plus the unnutritious conversation just now, the noon time slipped away unconsciously.

The wizard was suspicious that he would 'accidentally' fall asleep again in the afternoon class.

"I have classes in the afternoon, so I won't send you to Fort Alpha. After Zheng Qing sent Lin Guo to the cat-fruit tree, he yawned and explained to the little wizard - in order to prevent Lin Guo from feeling lonely, he also beckoned the forest cat from the tree and gave the little wizard a companion.

“...... You go back with it, it's safe inside the school. Saying that, Zheng Qing patted Lin Guo's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry about the big black thing, all the members of the guilty family are helping you." The Doctor has been pondering a new method of divination for the past two days, and there may be good news...... Also, Sister Colmar from Gini Cottage has already greeted the wizards of the North District, as long as Daikoku has appeared in the North District, we will definitely be able to know. ”

Lin Guo flattened his mouth and nodded vigorously: "I will take a good class!"

Zheng Qing was very satisfied with the little wizard's answer:

"I have a class on the lingua franca of the fish-people in the afternoon, and the professor is an old fish-man, who is said to be an elder of the fish-man tribe in Linzhong Lake, and I will ask him to ask in Linzhong Lake...... As long as Da Hei has ever haunted near Linzhong Lake, he will definitely not be able to escape the eyes of those magical creatures in the lake. ”
