Chapter 181: A Headache Meeting
"Ding-dong, ding-dong......"
The wind chimes hanging from the window ridge still swayed slightly under the action of inertia, emitting a pleasant trill. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
These bells are like bronze bells, and the whole body is blue, as if made of bronze, covered with traces of rust, and the whole body reveals an old atmosphere.
The surface of the bell is crisscrossed with lines of different lengths and widths. In the sunlight, runes the size of grains of rice flowed slowly on these lines, shimmering with multicolored light.
Each bell is hung with a brass ring and a hair-thick black thread hanging down.
At the end of the thin line, hanging sheets of thin paper-thick mahogany rune boards, hollowed out and carved with hideous statues of different forms, these gods slowly rotate as the wind chimes ring, scanning the noisy classroom.
These bells were hung on the window by the class president, Downton, before class.
It is said that he spent a lot of money to buy a warning talisman from a wandering wizard, which can cover an area of hundreds of square meters. Any abnormal movement within the protection range of the rune array will trigger the magic circle on the bell, sending out the sound of subduing demons and defending against the enemy.
Of course, the current row of wind chimes jingling is not due to the discovery of demons.
It's just affected by the light breeze brought by Li Meng when she ran around the classroom.
"Your cousin?" Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and his eyes involuntarily looked behind Li Meng.
Not far away, Jiang Yu was running towards the two of them with a straight face.
She was wearing a bright red courtyard robe, with a cloud luan pattern around her waist to prohibit walking, and when she hurriedly walked, she wore a jade Mingluan and a red robe fluttering, which was extremely moving.
"You're making trouble again!" came to the two of them, Jiang Yu didn't say a word, first stretched out two jade onion show fingers, grabbed Li Meng's ears, and twisted them gently.
"Wronged...... the little spirit witch didn't dare to move, so he could only shout in a loud voice: "You ask him...... I'm just here to talk to you and say you have something to do with him!"
Zheng Qing saw Jiang Yu's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Sure enough, I'm still kind.
A public scholarship student grinned at the little spirit witch and comforted himself.
Jiang Yu let go of his hand, Li Meng snorted, turned around and kicked on the leg of the fat man Xin who was one step away.
The fat man glanced at her inexplicably, and moved aggrievedly into the distance.
"Is there something wrong?" Zheng Qing looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and was a little nervous in his heart.
I don't know if it's a delusion, since Zheng Qing started to help Yelena with her homework, Jiang Yu's attitude towards him has been much colder.
It was the first time in nearly a week that the two had spoken in private.
"I have some business this Saturday afternoon and I can't accompany you to Dr. Duzem. Jiang Yu looked at Zheng Qing apologetically, and looked out the window with a somewhat erratic look: "You know that address...... The Doctor knows you too. ”
"Oh, oh, it's okay...... It's no problem for me to go myself. Zheng Qing rubbed his hands a little at a loss, and said with a stupid smile: "I really bothered you before...... If you could, I'd like to treat you to a meal on the Walking Street...... Show your appreciation. ”
"I'm going, I'm going!" Li Meng raised his arm vigorously and waved.
A string of golden brass bells on her wrist made a jingling sound, which was pleasant to the ear.
Jiang Yu couldn't stop it, so he could only smile apologetically.
"I'm afraid it's inconvenient. The corners of her mouth curled up, and her tone was a little hesitant.
"No problem, no problem...... Nothing inconvenient. Zheng Qing smiled and nodded again and again, but for some reason he felt much more relaxed in his heart.
But Jiang Da's words made him lose his relaxed mentality.
"Miss Jones won't mind?" she lifted her chin slightly, her eyes full of smiles, "What if I take her boyfriend to dinner at Walking Street...... Won't she mind?"
Yelena's father's last name is Jones, but few people in the class call her that.
Therefore, Zheng Qing reacted for a few seconds before he understood what Jiang Yu meant.
"No, no, no...... No!" He suddenly came to his senses, waved his hands in a panic, and his face turned red: "No, it's not what you think...... Are you mistaken...... We're not in that kind of relationship, I'm just helping her with her homework. ”
But he immediately reacted, why did he explain it to Jiang Yu?
Didn't he just feel a hint of joy in his heart?
So, his swinging arm stopped unconsciously, and his head involuntarily turned in the direction where Yelena was seated.
The gypsy witch seemed to be completely oblivious to the movement in this corner, and was holding her chin in one hand and flipping through the textbooks on the table. The long, burgundy wavy hair fell down the side of her face, making it impossible to see her expression.
After staying for a few seconds, Zheng Qing remembered Jiang Yu standing in front of him.
When he turned his head, the Iren had already left.
Leaving only the savage little spirit witch, he raised his calf and kicked Zheng Qing again.
"Jiuyou are really nerds!" she grumbled angrily and ran away before Zheng Qing got angry.
Zheng Qing sighed and sat back in his seat, but his mood was inexplicably depressed.
Even he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.
"Are you going alone at night?" Xiao Xiao suddenly raised his head from his notebook and turned his head to look at him.
"Huh?" Zheng Qing glanced at the shadows in front of and behind the classroom, and replied vaguely: "It's just a treat, and it's okay to be alone." ”
"Treat?" Xiao Xiao furrowed his eyebrows, his eyes were a little puzzled: "Isn't it just a simple meeting?
Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly came to his senses.
Two people are not talking the same thing.
His mind had not yet gotten rid of the conversation he had just had with Jiang Yu, and he completely ignored the identity of the interrogator.
Xiao Xiao asked about Zheng Qing's meeting with Augustus.
After a night of hesitation, and after a long plenary meeting discussion in the 403 dormitory, Zheng Qing finally decided not to attend the welcome dinner of the Blood Friends Club.
It's a matter of attitude.
Of course, his refusal had to be tactful. Following Dylan's advice, it's better to have a suitable reason. And it was necessary to meet Augustus in person and return his invitation.
It's not an easy job.
Fortunately, Augustus didn't seem to embarrass him, and after Zheng Qing applied for a meeting, he quickly replied, agreeing to have tea with him on Thursday evening.
"Ahem," Zheng Qing coughed lightly and replied quickly, "No, no, no, it's just a simple meeting, and you don't need to eat...... What I just said is a colloquial saying in the white Ding society. ”
Xiao Xiao pushed his glasses and looked at him suspiciously.
Zheng Qing touched his slightly hot ears and tried his best to show a natural expression.
"Have you made an appointment?" Xiao Xiao looked back at his notebook.
"Half past five in the afternoon," Zheng Qing touched the pocket watch in his pocket and replied in a low voice, "I remember that this afternoon's life class was a practical arrangement, as if it was for us to practice the 'washing mantra', and it should be in time." ”
Xiao Xiao tilted his head and did not speak.
It turns out that this kind of plan, which is only based on speculation and has no support for divination, has a very high probability of accidents.
In the afternoon life class, the teacher did ask the freshmen to practice washing magic.
But Zheng Qing ignored the fact that newcomers will always have one accident or another when they cast magic.
For example, some people wash off their hair and become Saitama Sensei, some people use too much force to dry it and almost turn into bacon, and there are people who do not apply waterproof grease to their magic books, and the mantras they record become ink stains in the water vapor.
By the time the messy class ended, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Zheng Qing didn't even have time to eat, so he pulled his legs and ran towards Linzhong Lake.
After passing through the deep corridor shrouded in vines, through the round gate guarded by the stone golem, and ignoring the provocative words of the old ghosts on both sides of the castle's corridor, Zheng Qing finally arrived at the place agreed with Augustus in advance.
Located deep in Alpha Castle.
The rest room of the blood club.
