Chapter 68: The Fish Gatekeeper

Zheng Qing politely rejected the goldfish peddling.

The enthusiasm in the goldfish's expression suddenly dissipated, and his tone suddenly became much colder: "In that case...... What are you here for?"

"Participate in the polder market where Quanke came. The wizard replied cautiously.

"Please present your invitation and state your introducer. Goldfish asked seriously.

"This ......" Zheng Qing looked at the big goldfish in front of him, and was a little hesitant to show it his invitation.

"I'm the gatekeeper of the polder. The goldfish flicked its tail—to make the magic stamp on its fins stand out a little more—and said in a proud tone: "...... All guests who want to go in need me to verify!"

If you don't have a part-time vendor, the persuasion might be a little higher.

The young public student complained to himself, and at the same time sighed that it seemed that the water tribe had indeed declined, and they could have found more decent guards, such as real mermaids or sirens.

"It was Professor Garcia who invited us...... He is an elder of the Fish-Man tribe in Linzhong Lake, and serves as a professor of Fish-Man Language at First University. Zheng Qing explained and handed over his invitation.

Then he realized that there was a goldfish in front of him, and there were no arms.

The goldfish spits out a large blister.

"You can stuff the invitation in. It said.

Zheng Qing recruited according to his words.

When the invitation was stuffed inside, the blisters suddenly lit up with a conspicuous green glow.

"Qualified guests. There seemed to be a slight disappointment in the goldfish's tone, but it quickly regained its spirits: "...... According to the rules, you can bring one pet, one female or male companion, and no more than four servants...... Is he your male companion?"

The goldfish raised a fin and pointed at Dr. Xiao, who was standing beside the wizard.

"Servant. Zheng Qing replied with a straight face and a cold and hard voice.

"Okay, guest with an invitation, a pet and a servant. The goldfish read in a very singing voice, and at the same time inquired enthusiastically again: "Do you need to handle the parcel storage service?

"No, thank you. Zheng Qing smiled and refused.

Then he turned his head and bit his ear with Xiao Xiao: "...... Is it only that idiom?"

"Perhaps. Xiao Xiao was obsessed with his identity as a 'servant', and his answer was quite perfunctory.

"Can I enter later?" Zheng Qing looked back at the goldfish guard and asked very politely, "We still have a companion on the way." ”

"Perhaps. The goldfish looked a little distracted—Zheng Qing was very suspicious that it had just heard the conversation between himself and Xiao Xiao—and waved the fins on his abdomen: "It's up to you wizards to decide this kind of thing...... I'm just a fish after all. ”

The atmosphere was slightly awkward.

The goldfish flicked its tail and jumped back into the pond to replenish the water.

Zheng Qing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now he was very worried that the goldfish would question his faux pas, and it would become very embarrassing.

"Shall we go out and wait, or shall we just wait here?" Zheng Qing hugged Poseidon, combing it, and consulted his own doctor's opinion: "I tend to wait here...... The golden eagle outside is fighting fiercely with Thestrals, and it will be very troublesome to go out. ”

"It's up to you. The doctor was still sullen: "After all, I am only a servant. ”

Zheng Qing felt a toothache.

"It's none of the business with me, okay?" he grumbled, his gaze lingering on the goatee on Xiao Xiao's chin for a moment, before finally choosing to change the subject: "...... How long is it going to last on your face? Why don't you just cut it off? Don't you think it's stupid? ”

"No, I think it's funny. Xiao Xiao lifted the glasses on his face, raised his chin, and his goatee curled, unexpectedly with a proud look: "Cutting it doesn't make me smarter...... As for how long it lasts, Professor Li said that after stopping taking goat's milk substitutes, within 12 hours, the 'sheep characteristics' on the body will disappear. Of course, you will need to go to the school hospital for a re-examination to confirm that there are no sequelae......"

As he spoke, a breath of fresh air poured into the hole in the oak hollow.

Jiang Yu carried a small pearl-colored handbag and got in.

She had already changed out of the red robe she had worn during the day, wearing a pale red curly robe, with her hair tied in a bun at the back of her head, and a jade flute inserted on it. Two strands of hair fall down the sides of the cheeks, with some shaggy embellishments in between.

Compared with weekdays, her makeup today is more playful in its modesty.

After entering the cave, she looked up to the left and right, and immediately saw two male witches standing by the pond, waved happily, and ran towards them in small steps.

"It's more private than I thought. After coming to the male witch's side, Jiang Yu complained tactfully, raised his hand to brush the hair in his ear, and fanned the wind with his hand: "...... If I knew I was going to drill a hole in the tree, I might change into a more convenient outfit. ”

The little fox in his arms whispered.

The wizard finally recovered from a moment of distraction, opened his mouth, and stumbled in reply, "Oh, yes...... I, too, only found out after I came. Here, the environment here, it's a bit of a bad thing. ”

Xiao Xiao turned around expressionlessly and looked at the pond.

The witch pursed her lips and smiled.

There was a loud bang in the pond, and the goldfish guard appeared in front of them again full of energy.

"Is there a bubble spell?...... As well as ladies. It greeted in an enthusiastic voice: "Five coppers for one night, Tong Suo is not bullied...... Although there is no need for a bubble head spell in the polder market, the bulk goods stalls outside the polder market are all in the water, and it is absolutely impossible to do without a bubble head charm. Shall I have a shot, sir?"

Zheng Qing blinked.

The words were exactly the same as before.

"No, we don't need to, it's been said before. The wizard refused very simply this time.

"In that case...... What are you here for?"

"Participate in the polder. ”

"Please present your invitation and state your introducer. ”

Zheng Qing took a light breath.

"We've checked the invitations before," the wizard pondered, a little unsure if the goldfish was the same one before, "...... I don't know if you're impressed. Or did your colleague check it for us?"

"Impossible, I'm the only one at the entrance to the polder city!" the goldfish flatly denied it, and at the same time took a step back, pressing his fins against a rune-etched scale armor on his waist with a serious face, his eyes full of vigilance: "Please explain your identity, stranger...... Guests who are not invited are not welcome here!"

Compared to Zheng Qing, the new witch seemed to know better what was going on.

"The goldfish's memory is only seven seconds," the witch whispered in the ear of the public student, "Of course, the magic goldfish's memory may be a little stronger, but you shouldn't have too high hopes." ”

"Ten minutes!" The goldfish on the other side—Zheng Qing finally confirmed that it had good hearing—exclaimed in annoyance, "My memory is more than seven seconds!"
