The disappearance of the dog made the two young wizards a little confused, but they didn't bother too much.

Compared to it, the strange wizard who secretly climbed the cat fruit tree and did tricks and feet on the throne of the black cat was more worrying. After searching the branches and confirming that the dog was gone, Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu set their attention to the throne.

But after careful inspection, the two were surprised to find that there was no vicious curse or dangerous circle on the throne as expected. It's just a layer of cat juice on it.

The unripe cat fruit is turmeric yellow, which is one of the raw materials for the preparation of the palliative agent, and the ripe cat fruit is purple-black, highly toxic, can penetrate the intestines and rot the stomach, and corrode the soul.

The cat fruit, which is between unripe and ripe, is red.

Toxic, but mildly toxic; On the whole, the cat fruit at this stage, like a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, lacks the innocence and liveliness of a teenager, nor the sleek sophistication of an adult, and always expresses the connotation of the word 'contradiction'.

"This little cat juice can make the cat lying on it pull its stomach for a day at most. Zheng Qing shook the test tube, watching the little bit of red slowly bloom in the translucent reagent, and was puzzled: "That guy climbed up and down, just to let a cat have diarrhea?"

"Not a cat. Jiang Yu corrected.

Immediately, she seemed to realize that her statement was a little subtle, a blush appeared on her face, and after a light cough, she added, "I mean to say...... You are a wizard who is a student at First University in a premeditated attack. We should report this to the school. ”

Zheng Qing thought of the lazy expressions of the wizards on duty in the office of the school working committee, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but droop.

"The school committee doesn't care about such a trivial matter...... Especially since it looks more like a prank. He sighed, and there was a lot of resentment in his tone: "We report to the school that there will be no effect other than that we will be asked to fill out a dozen forms and explanatory materials in different formats. They weren't even willing to put a little extra effort into helping Lin Guo find his black goat!"

The witch nodded approvingly, and sighed as well.

"Anyway," Zheng Qing stretched out his hand and poured the liquid in the test tube at the foot of a bush outside the blanket, and at the same time cheered up a little and reminded, "...... From now on, we must not climb the Cat Fruit Tree again unless we find that strange wizard and figure out his reasons for doing so!"

"It's best not to come here casually...... I mean after your transformation. Jiang Yu added, took the test tube that Zheng Qing had cleaned up, and stuffed it back into his handbag.

Zheng Qing took out his pocket watch, looked at the time, and raised his eyebrows.

"Hmm...... There is still half an hour before the class meeting. He glanced at the witch, "Shall we go straight to the classroom?"

Jiang Yu raised his head and glanced at the sky outside the forest through a small piece of sparse canopy: "It's really late when it's dark now...... Last year, when we had a class meeting, it was all dark. It's still so bright. ”

As she spoke, she lowered her head and began to pick up the bits and pieces of magical materials on the blanket. These include unused rune paper, jade ornaments that build a simple guardian barrier, cinnabar ink prepared in a saucer, glass bottles and jars for potions and reagents, and several reference books for information at any time.

Zheng Qing nodded in agreement and helped the witch clean up the clutter on the blanket together.

Suddenly there was a soft sound in my ears.

He looked up at the witch.

"Where's the dog hair?" Jiang Yu held an empty test tube in his hand, and his tone was full of surprise.

When feeding the dog a potion to ward off poison and evil spirits, the witch once pulled a few short hairs from her dog's head and stuffed them into a glass test tube, ready to go back and take them to the laboratory for testing.

But just after packing her things, she noticed that the dog hair in the test tube was missing.

"Are you sure it's this test tube?" Zheng Qing searched the other glass tubes on the carpet, trying to find other possibilities.

"Only this one tube was sealed with a cork. The witch showed Zheng Qing the cork—the plug was still sitting honestly at the mouth of the tube—and she emphasized, "I kept it at hand before...... What's inside definitely won't fall out!"

It's another head-scratching thing.

Even if they scratched their heads again, the two young wizards wouldn't waste any more time under the cat-fruit tree.

On the way back to the classroom, Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu had a series of discussions about the identity of the strange wizard, where the dog went, and what happened to the dog hair in the test tube, but the two did not get more valuable guesses.

Maybe you should throw these questions to Xiao Xiao.

Zheng Qing thought about these things absentmindedly, followed Jiang Yu into the classroom, and was greeted by the sound of his companions in the corner. The witch lowered her head and hurried to her seat, while the wizard was stunned for a few seconds before remembering the situation when he had left the study room, and his feet were suddenly a little flustered, and he almost trampled a small frog that was crawling around.

"Be careful!" shouted Nicholas, holding his basket, "look at the ...... Help me get that frog back, thank you!"

The timing couldn't have come at a more opportune time.

Zheng Qing hurriedly squatted down, grabbed the little frog very hard, hunched over and grabbed for a long time, and drove the frog from the door of the classroom back to Nicholas's bamboo basket in the back row of the classroom.

finally escaped the sight of most of his classmates.

"You should tie a few ropes around their legs. Zheng Qing vigilantly looked at the atmosphere around his seat, and at the same time made a perfunctory suggestion to Nicholas: "Although their brains are only the size of peas, they are also a living creature in the end...... The smell of death on your basket is so strong that it will make them instinctively run away. ”

"It's just temporary. Nicholas smiled and covered the bamboo basket: "The great sage of Colmar is researching an alchemy gem, which is said to refer to the production process of the 'Sage Stone', which can materialize the life force...... That way, when we use magic in the future, we don't need to bring a lot of frogs with us. ”

Sounds like a good plan.

"Can she get the process of making the 'Philosopher's Stone'?" Zheng Qing was skeptical. As one of the top products of magical alchemy, the production method of the Philosopher's Stone has always been treasured by major wizarding forces, even if the finished product rarely appears on the market, let alone the craftsmanship.

"Absolutely. There was a hint of fanaticism in Nicholas's eyes, and his expression was very determined: "The Great Sage can change the fate of the wizards of the Northern District, which the alliance can't change, what else can't be done? ”

Zheng Qing looked at his eyes, and a trace of uneasiness quietly slipped through his heart.
