Chapter Seventy-Nine: Analysis
After the divination, the old priest of the fish-man lifted the dragonskin cloak that hung from the bone staff, shook the lice and dust from it, and put it back on the head of 'Agneg'.
At the same time, a small fish-man in a short gray robe, holding a huge shell, stumbled out from behind, and walked up to several young wizards, timidly bowing his head and not saying a word.
The old fishman squinted at it and muttered as if he were cursing.
Colmar was the first to throw a silver horn into the shell.
The little fishman snorted for a long time, and finally held back a 'thank you', his voice was very low, like a mosquito, and it also had a unique sense of air leakage in the fish-man cavity.
The others suddenly realized that this was going to be rewarded.
Less than Zheng Qing, because he hated that he had smoked too much smoke before, and he was not very interested in the old fishman's divination, he only threw a handful of copper into the shell;
The cub sells Yetian and doesn't feel distressed, the young public-funded student muttered in his heart, reached out and stroked the fluff on the neck of the little fox - no, it's Niangtian, the cub doesn't feel distressed when he sells Niangtian. He didn't give the golden bean.
Of course, he didn't get the golden bean back in the end.
After leaving the tent of the wandering fishmen, Colmar said goodbye to several young wizards. She needs to make peace with her men and continue to procure live frogs for the wizards of the North End.
Jiang Yu returned to school with the two male witches.
On the way back to school, Zheng Qing asked Xiao Xiao very curiously how he felt when he used psychic divination. Of course, before that, he briefly repeated to Xiao Xiao what 'Yagneg' had said—except for a small part. He did not mention to Xiao Xiao the divination related to 'witnesses'.
"Psychic divination feels tiring, but it's not the tiredness we get in the popular sense. ”
Xiao Xiao thought about it for a long time, and finally made a vivid analogy: "It's like the kind of fatigue we sometimes dream at night that we have been running or climbing mountains, or being chased by demons, and waiting for you to wake up...... I am very tired when I dream, and I am also tired for a short time after waking up...... But a little rest would be fine. ”
This metaphor immediately made Zheng Qing feel very clearly.
“...... In the beginning, we didn't ask questions. Jiang Yu mentioned a blind spot in the tent before and asked Xiao Xiao, "Why did you just put on that skull and start talking?"
"It's like a toot. Zheng Qing added.
Xiao Xiao rolled her eyes.
"Don't use the bad word 'skull'. He reprimanded in an educational tone: "'Agneg' is a being who is truly a divine person...... Even though He is in a terrible state right now. ”
Zheng Qing suddenly remembered the moon god who was entangled with Yelena, and his mood suddenly fell.
Jiang Yu seemed to know what he was thinking, grabbed Poseidon's claws, and patted the wizard's cheek comfortingly. The furry claws made Zheng Qing feel better.
Xiao Xiao was out of sight and out of mind, holding his head, staring at the starry sky above his head, and said slowly as he walked:
"You didn't ask any questions when I got into the tent, but I had a question in my head. The first moment Jagneg put it on my head, he saw my confusion...... So the first question He started to talk about had to do with goat's milk. That's the question I'm most worried about. ”
"Evil. Zheng Qing muttered, recalling Yagneg's words: "Pieces of meat, tentacles, and a big mouth dripping with slime...... Colmar said she knew which one of the stars existed, did you know?"
"Nikolai. Xiao Xiao said calmly.
"Who?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows—his first reaction was the old repeater in the class, Liu Feifei's boyfriend—and couldn't help but be surprised: "Nicholas?"
"Don't say the name of that taboo!" Jiang Yu exclaimed with some trepidation.
Obviously, she knew who Xiao Xiao was talking about.
"It doesn't matter, this is the number one university. Xiao Xiao looked at her comfortingly, and then patiently explained:
"Sabu Nicholas, a powerful outer god, whose name includes the words 'Goddess of Darkness and Abundance, Supreme Mother Goddess, Black Goat of the Forest that gives birth to thousands of offspring'...... It is easy to find the connection between them from certain key points. ”
"But you need to be careful not to talk about the name outside of Phuket. It will attract attention from the depths of the starry sky. The weight of that sight is something that even ordinary registered wizards can't bear......"
"Wait a minute. Zheng Qing raised his hand to stop Xiao Xiao from continuing to explain, he tilted his head and glared at Xiao Xiao: "The black goat of the forest?"
He emphasized the last three words.
Lin Guo's pet that has just been lost recently is a black goat. Zheng Qing was deeply impressed. The black sheep should be very old and very spiritual.
Xiao Xiao knew what he was thinking of, and nodded: "...... In fact, that's what I suspected. The time of the disappearance of Lin Guo's black goat was too coincidental, and it happened that during this time, the students in the school suddenly began to drink goat's milk...... If it weren't for the First University, I would have suspected that Nikolath had sneaked into Phuket. ”
Zheng Qing coughed dryly and glanced at Jiang Yu.
The witch's arm holding Poseidon stiffened slightly.
Both of them thought of the night they destroyed a street, and thought of the projection of the outer gods they had faced. Especially Zheng Qing, thinking of the 'witnesses' mentioned by Yagneg in divination, he felt that this speculation had been confirmed.
Xiao Xiao was keenly aware of the abnormal atmosphere flowing in the air, put down his arm, and looked left and right: "...... Is there anything I need to know?"
Zheng Qing coughed twice again, and Jiang Yu lowered his head, played with Poseidon's big tail, and remained silent.
"Ahem," the wizard stubbornly said nothing about that night—he had a hard time explaining to anyone how he had escaped from Nikolas's hands—so he digressed:
"I mean, Professor Garcia mentioned earlier that the turtles at Bell Lake once saw a cat fighting with a black goat...... Before, I thought that the black sheep was Lin Guo's pet. But now it seems, could that black sheep be the shadow of His Highness Nicholas you mentioned?"
Xiao Xiao nodded, then shook his head again.
"Any advent needs a carrier. His tone was a little serious, and the content of his words made everyone's hearts heavy: "The carrier that is most suitable for the 'black goat of the forest that gives birth to thousands of offspring', on the island, as far as I know, is the black goat." ”
Zheng Qing smiled reluctantly.
"Does the black sheep intend to destroy the world?" he skipped the guess and repeated the previous divination in a slightly exaggerated tone: "What rivers are drying up, forests are burning, and thunderous roars are roaring...... And the castle could not protect us...... We don't live in a castle, do we?"
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, and there was a rare trace of embarrassment on her face.
"It doesn't have to be about Nikolai. He replied confidently: "At first, I was thinking about goat's milk...... But as my gaze grew higher and higher—my gaze wandered through time and space with His Highness Agneg—I couldn't help but take a few more glances at the school. ”
"So the later part of the divination is a bit crazy, maybe it's some other trouble at school...... It doesn't have to be related to goat's milk. ”
This answer was not comforting in any way.
It's even worse.
If schools can't protect them, where is it safe?
