Chapter 57: The True Dark Wizard (Part I)
Colmar brings more than just a Northside wizard to the Northside magicians.
Because of her, all the merchants in the wizarding world can expect that there will be less and less cheap labor in the market with a little magical ability, and correspondingly, black intermediaries like the short wizard can also expect that there will be a shortage of magicians in the market who can be used to 'do experiments'.
Therefore, in recent times, the fellow wizards of the short wizards have been attacking from all sides, constantly 'forcibly contracting' the North District magicians who have not yet obtained the spell seal, in preparation for the upcoming 'cold winter'.
In fact, it is some form of 'hunting' - except that the prey is a wizard, and the hunter is also a wizard.
"We just came out of the Gini Hut!" Zheng Qing reminded with an eyebrow.
He didn't think that the two dark wizards in front of him had the courage to provoke a great wizard.
It is true that there are many dark wizards who have broken their brains because of their cultivation of forbidden magic, but that is only a minority after all. Most wizards are still very self-aware.
Zheng Qing felt that it might just be a misunderstanding in front of him.
On the one hand, for the sake of keeping a low profile, he and Jiang Yu are both wearing gray robes today, looking like two neat tricksters.
On the other hand, Zheng Qing also had a small flying frog on his shoulder—a slightly mutated frog with a pair of weak wings under its ribs, which had been captured by the wizards of the Northern District to be sacrificed.
When Zheng Qing walked out of the Gini hut, he happened to see this frog staring at him with a pair of big watery eyes, and when he relented, he took it out and prepared to send it to Linzhong Lake for release.
Dressed in a gray robe, he also brought a frog that is currently the most popular in the North District as a pet, and was recognized as a trickster by the dark wizard in front of him, so it is not surprising that he wants to force the contract.
"That's true. The short wizard lifted the wide sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and grinned, "But didn't you come out with bare foreheads?"
Zheng Qing thought about it for a while, and immediately came back to his senses.
These dark wizards are not stupid - because of Colmar, they don't hunt down North End tricksters at will, but choose those who are not 'welcome' at Gini Hut.
An easy way to determine if you're 'popular' is to see if you can receive a spell seal when you enter the Gini Hut. If a gray-robed man entered No. 33 Gu Diao Street with his bare forehead, and his forehead was still as clean as before when he came out, then it was very likely that he would not be treated well by the Great Sage.
Of course, there may be some miscalculations in this judgment.
But this miscalculation is much less likely than randomly arresting people in the North District with your eyes closed. It must be admitted that wizards who can blend in the dark world of fish and dragons have a little bit of their own unique philosophy of survival.
"We are not pranksters. Zheng Qing grimaced and emphasized.
"I understand, I understand. The short wizard sighed and comforted him in the tone of a passer-by: "Good tricksters are in demand...... It's hard to live long. But business is business. Come and go, you will always get used to it. ”
The flat tone sent a shiver down the sleeve between the two young wizards.
"This is Phuket Island, the territory of First University, and there is still a great wizard in the North District...... Are you not afraid of being thrown into the Black Prison if you trample on the Wizards' Code like this?"
The two dark wizards looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Death?" replied the tall, thin one, tugging at the brim of his peaked hat, "Everyone has been running in the direction of death since birth...... We are dying all the time and never stopping. ”
"Fear does not prevent death from coming. Humpty Dumpty added.
Zheng Qing finally gave up his theory with these two madmen, took out his law book from the gray cloth bag, opened the book cover, and then raised his arm, letting the pale cyan magic halo pour out of the book like water, and said in a troubled manner:
"Now, let's summarize the central idea of what you just said. ”
"Hands up!"
The two dark wizards looked at each other as they looked at the glowing spell book.
Raise your hand with a brush.
The easy victory made Zheng Qing feel a strong sense of unreality. So much so that he wasn't ready for what he should do next - he was already ready to chant the incantation.
Will it be tied up and sent to the three-pronged sword, or will it be handed over to the school's pickets? Zheng Qing looked at the witch beside him with an inquiring gaze.
Jiang Yu was also a little embarrassed, biting his lip and shaking his head, indicating that he was not easy to make up his mind.
As the two young wizards hesitated, the short and fat wizard opposite spoke again:
"You're really not pranksters?"
His tone was full of chagrin and frustration, mixed with a little flattering expression, which made Zheng Qingzhi sigh at the delicacy of his face, which could be mixed with such a rich content on a small skin area.
"From which point do you think we are tricksters......
The dwarf looked at the little frog on Zheng Qing's shoulder. The frog puffed out its mouth and spat a pink bubble at the dwarf wizard.
Smack.
The dwarf wizard smiled awkwardly, "Hmm...... Well, since this matter is just a misunderstanding...... Let's be peaceful, okay? We're losing money...... Two golden beans. As compensation for offending the wizard. ”
"Do you think we're only worth two golden beans?" said the wizard, displeased.
He had already decided to hand over these two guys to the Trident Sword.
After all, the school is not a law enforcement agency, and it may be benevolent to them.
"Three Golden Beans...... Couldn't be more. We have very little net worth. If you have a family, who would do this kind of business without capital?"
"It's not about money. The boy kept a straight face and rejected the other party's peace proposal.
Humpty Dumpty sighed heavily.
"So, I hate dealing with students at school. He muttered, shaking his head.
Before reciting the bondage spell, Zheng Qing suddenly thought that these guys shuttling in the gutter had always been well-informed, and they might know the whereabouts of Da Hei. So he stopped what he was doing.
"Have you hunted a black goat lately?"
The wizard made a serious gesture at the size and appearance of the big black, and added, "If I can provide valid clues, I will help you say something good when I hand you over to the Trident Sword." ”
The tall, lanky wizard tugged at the corners of his mouth.
The dwarf wizard smiled ambiguously.
"I haven't seen it. He licked his lips and winked at Zheng Qing: "...... However, we can help get such a black goat. The oil is smooth and shiny, and the temper is soft. ”
"The tastes of the children at school are getting heavier," the tall dark wizard sighed, and his eyes fell on the witch beside him, "I never knew what the fun of goats or wild boars was...... Isn't the flower girl pretty?"
Zheng Qing closed his eyes—isn't it good to be alive—and he mourned for the dark wizard for a second in his heart.
Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the annoyed voice of the witch classmate next to him:
"Min Tian is mighty!"
