Chapter 164: An Invitation from Augustus
Zheng Qing was under the table. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was squatting on the foot of the table to relieve his breath because of a stomachache.
A few minutes ago, because of the words of the stick figure figure on the white paper, he laughed inexplicably, and the tears of laughter came out, and he laughed from sitting at the table, to lying on the table, and finally sliding under the table.
Maybe it's not all that funny.
Now, the Jamaican standing at the door of the Bishop's Building, West 201, was looking around with an eager face, hoping to find him as soon as possible.
"I'm looking for Zheng Qing. The black man bared a mouthful of white teeth.
This sentence was like a gust of wind blowing through the classroom.
"He's looking for Zheng Qing!" many people muttered, looking around.
The freshmen of Jiuyou Academy are very familiar with this name.
As one of the nine publicly-funded students this year, Zheng Qing silently found all the thousands of runes in the grading test of the talisman class, which was a sensation.
With the help of some senior students, some of his related deeds gradually spread, such as suppressing a rampaging demon in Four Seasons, or confronting the banshee Nikita on the admission plane.
For various reasons, the freshmen of other colleges have some impressions of this name.
"Is Zheng Qing here?" shouted the Alpha Academy student.
"It's coming, it's coming!" The two alpha students sitting in the front row of Zheng Qing hurriedly stood up, vacated a vacant space, and said quickly: "He's here...... Behind us!"
Eyes from all directions suddenly gathered.
These sights may contain curiosity, or a little malice, or full of speculation, and they are complex.
Under this heavy pressure, Xiao Xiao finally put down the notebook in his hand, stretched out his hand, and forcefully pulled out his roommate who had slipped under the table.
It is true that Xiao Xiao can continue to tinker with the notebook without caring under the gaze of dozens of freshmen.
But even he had to consider the meaning of the name 'Augustus'.
This name represents all the students of Alpha Academy.
Rebellious like Mack King Seprano and conceited like Friedman Blake Cullen, even with his talent and power, he still shrouds in the shadow of the name, and has no disobedience.
A freshman, when confronted with the name, should show a certain amount of respect.
Even if he is a student of Jiuyou.
Zheng Qing struggled to crawl out from under the table.
Maybe it's because of the uneasiness in the limelight, maybe it's because of the embarrassment of being named, maybe it's just because of squatting for a long time and the blood is tumbling up.
Zheng Qing's face was flushed.
He tore at the wrinkled robe, patted the dust off the corners of the robe, took a few deep breaths, and looked up at the stranger at the door.
"You're looking for me?" his voice was loud and abrupt.
Daly III stood still and did not move. He looked at the young public-funded student not far away with interest, and the dark face was difficult for people to judge the specific expression.
Two stout figures squeezed through the crowd and stood behind Zheng Qing, holding their arms and not speaking.
Zheng Qing turned his head, looking at the tight robe of the fat man Xin and Zhang Jixin's flushed face, he couldn't help but smile.
"Are you Zheng Qing?" asked Daly III in a brisk voice.
"Are you looking for me?" Zheng Qing repeated what he had just said.
He felt the corners of his robe tighten, lowered his head, Xiao Xiao was clenching his fists, pulling his robe hard, and his fists were white.
The atmosphere in the classroom was a bit dreary.
The eyes of the freshmen turned from the door to the back row of the classroom, their eyes wide and round, like owls hunting, looking nervous and excited.
Many people have heard of Zheng Qing's feud with Alpha Academy.
In the eyes of some people, as the most important figure among the Alpha students, it is very likely that the messenger of Augustus found Zheng Qing, and it was very likely that it was not so simple.
"Maybe he just came over to warn?"
"After all, this is an institution. ”
"If Lei Zhe's people knew about this, they would definitely not give up!"
"A man as wise as Augustus would certainly not do anything stupid. ”
Similar whispers quietly occurred among the freshmen.
Some people gloated in their words, but many more looked at Zheng Qing with sympathy and encouragement.
This made Zheng Qing more and more uncomfortable.
"Is there anything wrong?" he finally spoke again, asking the Jamaican.
Probably realizing that Zheng Qing would not follow him out of the classroom, Daley III finally took a step and walked towards the back of the classroom.
The students' eyes moved slowly with his figure.
Jamaicans walk briskly.
But the atmosphere in the classroom is getting more and more tense.
"Nice to meet you. ”
Standing in front of Zheng Qing, Daly III smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.
"Nice to meet you. Zheng Qing stretched out his hand awkwardly, intending to show proper etiquette.
However, his hand touched a wooden box.
The Jamaican did not shake his hand, but simply pulled out a cuboidal flat wooden box from his pocket.
The length and width of the wooden box seem to be about half a meter, and the height is only an inch. The surface of the box is baked with red lacquer, which is smooth and remarkable, and a series of dark black textures emerge in the middle, and several silver-white ribbons bind it, which is even more gorgeous.
"This is a gift from His Excellency Augustus, please accept it with a smile. ”
Daley III handed over the wooden box he was holding in his hand to Zheng Qing, but without any more words, he retreated and said goodbye politely.
Zheng Qing watched blankly as the figure in the silver-white dress walked out of the classroom and disappeared into the corridor.
Everyone else looked surprised.
"That's it?" Zhang Jixin grabbed his head and asked many people's doubts with a blank face.
"That's it. Zheng Qing held the box and looked at it in all directions, hoping to see something different on the surface of the box.
"Open it and take a look. Xiao Xiao smiled and said what more people wanted.
As if sensing Zheng Qing's hesitation, the special student of Jiuyou Academy lowered his voice and quickly explained: "This is an academic institution, and it is also the first university...... In full view...... He wasn't so dizzy. ”
Zheng Qing suddenly, three times five divided by two, tore off the silk ribbon on the wooden box.
The people next to him all came over.
Some of the students who were a little farther away stood on chairs, some stood on tables, and some even opened the Dharma books and quietly recited a few incantations.
Everyone was very interested in the gifts of Augustus.
"It's not every day that you get the chance to receive a gift from that big guy. Fat Xin rubbed his hands and lifted the lid under Zheng Qing's encouraging gaze: "Bell bell......... Bell!"
There were no colorful fireworks exploding from the box, and no eerie black smoke steaming up.
There was just a white linen robe neatly stacked in the box.
This is the most popular dress in Alpha Academy.
On the sackcloth, there is a white card.
An invitation was written on it in floral letters:
"I hope to have the pleasure of inviting you to our community's welcome dinner.
Friday at 7 p.m.,
Alpha Castle,
Blood Friends Club Hall 1,
We look forward to seeing you there!
Augustus (signed). ”
Onlookers were silent for a moment, and then an uproar ensued.
"It's an invitation written by Lord Augustus himself!"
"That's amazing!"
"I want to go to ...... too"
"I knew Lord Augustus wasn't going to put any spells on the box......"
"Spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain......"
"This is a classical style of Hima Chun, and the material is quite exquisite. ”
"I've seen this dress in 'Green Spinning', and the price tag is twelve jade coins!"
Zheng Qing's hand shook and he almost threw the box out.
Twelve jade coins!
His scholarship was only ten jade coins.
Is this dress made of gold? I am afraid that it will not cost so much money!
When did jade coins become so worthless!
His mind was fragmented, and he stared blankly at the wooden box in his hand for a long time before he raised his head and asked in a low voice, "What does this mean?"
"What do you mean!" Fat Xin re-fastened the lid of the box heavily, with an angry look: "That's the literal meaning...... The big guy didn't know what to think, so he invited you to the welcome dinner of the Blood Friends Club. ”
"I didn't plan to join that club?" Zheng Qing hurriedly clarified, shouting, "I haven't thought about what club to join yet!"
"Who knows. The fat man shrugged and turned his head to squeeze out of the crowd.
It can be seen that this gift has rekindled the Blue Giant's resentment against the invitation, and he is now very unhappy.
"Can you not go?" Zheng Qing glanced at Xiao Xiaoxiao.
The students of Jiuyou Academy who were watching showed appreciative glances.
"I've always felt a little weird about Alpha's white Mai. Zhang Jixin said in a rough voice on the side.
"It's like crying and mourning. Duan Xiaojian, who was thin next to him, added in a low voice.
"As a nine-person person, there are very good reasons to choose not to go...... But there are some things that may only be made clear in person. Xiao Xiao pushed his glasses, spread out his notebook again, and concluded: "In short, this matter needs to be decided by yourself." ”
