Chapter 10: The Great Sage
The changes in the North District must have something to do with Senior Colmar's promotion to the Great Wizard.
The closer he got to the Gini Hut, the more Zheng Qing confirmed this in his heart.
Especially after entering Gu Diao Street, the tricksters in gray robes crowded the street, and their expressions were reverently facing the direction where the Gini hut was located - Zheng Qing had never known that there were so many tricksters in the North District, like a group of rabbits emerging from the grassland after the spring rain, dense and dusty-although the crowd was unusually quiet, the frenzy and excitement on their faces made the young public scholarship students feel terrified.
"The next time I come to the North District, I must change into a gray robe. The boy lowered his voice and spoke into the witch's ear. The two of them were dressed completely different from the gray-robed magicians around them, which attracted some scrutiny. It made him feel very uncomfortable.
Perhaps because he blew when he spoke, Jiang Yu's earlobes flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"You've been to the Gini hut before?" the witch's expression was still very calm, but she tightened her shawl slightly: "It's my first time here, and I originally wanted to find a guide......
"During the winter break, I went to the Gini Huts with the fat man and the doctor and did a mission. Thinking of the experience at that time, Zheng Qing couldn't help but sigh a little.
It was on that way to the North District that he defeated a demon and formed an indissoluble bond with Satogua. And Senior Sister Colma also successfully promoted to the Grand Wizard with the help of the counterattack against Satogua.
Sometimes when you think about it, fate is indeed very wonderful.
"You don't have to wear a gray robe, just dress modestly. The witch laughed, noncommittal to the boy's suggestion. She also noticed the strange looks around her.
The costumes and momentum that are completely different from those of the North District pranksters are both bad and good. The bad thing is that wherever the two young wizards go, they attract a large group of friendly and unfriendly glances, and the good thing is that no one dares to intercept them.
Zheng Qing saw more than once that the gray-robed magicians who maintained order waved whips and whipped the queue cutters, and then made them kneel on the side of the street with their heads in their hands and confess.
The young scholar dressed in the red robes of the Nine Universities could carry his female companion through the dense crowd without hindrance - he didn't even need to raise his staff like Moses, and the crowd would naturally part.
Even at the door of the Sakura Tavern, which was strictly inspected, the gray robe guarding the door quietly hunched over the two outsiders after seeing the two shiny badges hanging from the chest of the young public scholarship student.
None of the pacters waiting in line around had any objections.
It's a mixed feeling.
"The Great Sage is blessing the pious upstairs, and the two of you can take a break in the tavern downstairs. After guiding the two young wizards into the door of the Sakura Tavern, the female magician in gray robes patiently arranged: "There are all kinds of juices, drinks, and snacks in the tavern for guests to take at will. ”
The female charmer was very beautiful, but she played with a brown frog the size of a palm, and even when she was talking to the guests, she pulled out the frog's tongue from time to time and swirled it between her fingers.
But the young student's attention was not drawn to the frog, and he noticed a word that the Grey Witch had just used.
"Great Sage?" Zheng Qing's expression froze slightly, and then he asked in a low voice, "Is it Senior Sister Colma?"
It seemed that the boy's call out the word 'Colma' made the female trickster feel greatly offended, and her face pulled down and her tone became a little stiffer: "Yes. But in the North End, you should also call it 'The Great Sage'. ”
As she spoke, she tugged at the tongue of the brown-skinned frog in her hand, and puffed out the poor worm's eyes. Zheng Qing couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Then I apologized.
He admits to being a little reckless, but it's not entirely his fault. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to directly associate the title of 'Great Sage' with a witch in her twenties who has not yet graduated from college. According to popular belief, the title of 'Sage' is always given to old wizards who are highly respected or have a long white beard.
Even though he knew that Senior Sister Colma had advanced to the rank of Great Wizard, having the title of 'Great Sage', to be honest, was still beyond the expectations of the young public-funded students.
"I'm a little unsure, was the last time I came to the Sakura Tavern this Sakura Tavern?" After seeing the gray-robed witch leave, Zheng Qing muttered, subconsciously looking left and right. But unfortunately, although he had been to the Gini Cottage before, he had always gone up to the second floor via the side stairs and had hardly ever spent time in this tavern on the first floor.
Outside the tavern, pious grey-robed men filled every crevice in the courtyard, and a few cherry blossom trees were swayed by the crowd and shook their bald heads.
Except for the name, Zheng Qing couldn't find any information that could be equated with the quiet courtyard in his impression.
"Great Sage," the young scholar chewed on the title, feeling goosebumps popping up on his back. He couldn't help but shudder and turned his head to look at Jiang Yu: "Do you remember who the last wizard with this title was?"
"Many," the witch uttered a long list of names without thinking: "The Merlin Mage of Britain, who holds the title of Great Sage in the English royal court, the Logic Mage of China, who holds the title of Great Sage recognized by the Wizarding Alliance, Leibniz, the creator of classical dimensionalism, Albert, the pioneer of modern dimensionalism, and Yu Rui, the creator of postmodern dimensionalism, all hold the title of Sage...... Oh, and our Headmaster, who is also recognized as a great sage in the wizarding world. ”
"Give me a minute to remember, there could be more to list than this. The witch added at the end.
"No, no. Zheng Qing felt a cold sweat trickling from the corner of his forehead to the back of his neck.
He explained in a whisper, "I just think ...... Senior Colma seems to be a little bit far from that title. ”
"Distance?" Jiang Yu looked past the blurred glass window of the tavern and looked at the pious gray robe in the courtyard, with a very serious expression: "No, I think she deserves it...... Do you remember the witch who just brought us in the door, is there anything unusual?"
Zheng Qing thought of the frog with its tongue pulled.
"She's been playing with frogs, which is a bit rude. The boy replied immediately.
"You should focus on something more important," the witch gave him a reproachful look.
What's more important? Where? The pretty witch's chest? The boy complained in his heart.
But Jiang Yu's next sentence made him feel a sense of enlightenment: "...... If you pay a little attention to your surroundings, you'll see that the magical vibrancy of Beta's North has grown considerably, not much compared to the fringes of the rest of Beta...... And the gray-robed witch just now, the magic that swirls around her body is obviously a trace of using a standard spell not long ago. ”
