"Well, if you plan to have a criticism meeting, in addition to the two things of the parrot and the Qingqiu Guild Hall, I suggest adding one more. Jiang Yu, who was originally standing on one side, suddenly bent his fingers and knocked on the counter, arousing Dr. Xiao from his heart.

Xiao Xiao raised her head and looked at the witch blankly.

Senior Class Leader Jiang lowered his finger and nodded at his feet: "It seems that our public-funded student didn't just send an invitation to the parrot this time...... There's a new customer in the store. ”

Xiao Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly suddenly.

"They're not new guests, they've been here before you came...... It's just that after the previous station, they all went back, saying that they had received some news. Dr. Xiao patted his head and stood up as he explained, "Because I was busy just now, I forgot to tell you about it." ”

"Clothed rats?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, obviously not knowing what this Dr. Xiao was muttering.

After Xiao Xiao stood up, he leaned out of the counter, his eyes swept down, and his mouth immediately closed.

The witch's feet were not the clothed rats he had thought, but a pack of cats.

Big cats, kittens, tortoiseshells, three-flowered, long-haired, short-tailed, and so on, there were dozens of them, lined up in a row, and sat neatly at the witch's feet, in front of the counter, with their heads tilted up, staring up with big round eyes. And the little witch Li Meng, who is active by nature, has already abandoned the caged rat and the people around her, squatting happily and even petting the cat.

The cat in the lead, Xiao Xiao is very familiar with, is the Ragdoll cat that often follows the black cat. It's just that compared to before, this Ragdoll seems to have become a little bigger, and the shoulder height is more than a foot.

"Ho, grown up?!" the wizard twitched his head and said something inexplicable. Under the counter, the Ragdoll seemed to capture the hidden meaning behind the wizard's words, and whined a few times in its throat.

"What?" Jiang Yu didn't hear what Xiao Xiao had just said—or did he hear it, but he didn't understand it—so he couldn't help but ask, "Do you know these cats?"

As she spoke, the witch leaned over and looked out of the store a few times, worried, but hoping to see a black cat.

After the cats appeared, the witch immediately confirmed that the cats were from the cat group in the forest by the lake. Not long ago, the little white cat incarnated by the witch followed the group of cats and rested on a big tree for a long time. Correspondingly, the leader of this group of cats, the black cat that can grow bigger and smaller, and shelter her, makes the witch a little worried.

It's just that this kind of thing is not enough for outsiders.

Similar to her, Xiao Xiao didn't want the witch to know about their relationship with the cats - admitting familiarity naturally requires an explanation, and it is not necessary to mention a certain black cat, and the story of the wizard turned into a cat, and this story is not suitable for many people to know - so, a thousand words are just a silence, and it may be wrong to say more, and it is no problem not to say it.

So, the male witch snorted, skimmed Jiang Yu's doubts, and said vaguely: "It looks familiar...... I guess it's the cats in the school, and you can often see them hanging around the lake. Why are they here?"

"I guess I received your invitation," the witch said in a speculative tone, but the witch's tone was affirmative. After all, I've seen a flock of bird guests before, and a few more cat guests don't seem so unacceptable.

"How can a cat understand the words written on the invitation?" Li Meng, who was petting the cat, suddenly raised his head and asked curiously.

"Parrots can understand it, and cats can understand it...... What's so strange about this. Jiang Yu replied with a smile.

It's weird!

Xiao Xiao rubbed the corners of his forehead, feeling that his head was a little swollen - he still clearly remembered that the hunting team had wasted their old strength when they were in a relationship with cats before, and they were painting and learning cat barking, but the effect was very limited.

Could it be that Zheng Qing recently opened a night school for this group of cats to teach them to read?

Xiao Xiao sighed slightly, pressed the rough idea of rushing to the backstage of the store and dragging a public scholarship student out directly, and said simply and clearly: "Let's ask our captain for this kind of thing later." ”

Li Meng muttered, lowered her head again, and continued to pull up the long hair on the Ragdoll cat.

Jiang Yu also pressed the doubts in his heart, and did not continue to ask, but smiled: "That's it, don't get entangled, just ask Zheng Qing about this kind of thing later...... Now the question is, how are we supposed to entertain these guests?"

"yes...... I wish I had a few parrots. Although those parrots have broken beaks, they can at least speak and communicate. Faced with this situation, Xiao Xiao was also a little numb.

There is no doubt that the cats are here to congratulate. While the two wizards were gossiping, the cats had already put down their gifts one by one and piled them up in front of the counter under the command of the leading Ragdoll cat.

The gift was some dried rats, which was very much in line with what the cats knew about wizards.

It's just that these gifts are very interesting in Jiang Yu's opinion.

The witch looked thoughtfully around, glanced at the cages of rats in the depths of the shop, and then at the Ragdoll crouching in front of the counter, flicking its tail, and a strange thought came to her mind.

"Wow, do you have a pet shop?" an abrupt voice came from the door, interrupting the subtle atmosphere of the wizard and the cat.

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.

A small, chubby, baby-faced wizard stepped over the threshold and walked in nonchalantly. He wore a wide black robe, and three small silver-white swords crossed together were embroidered on his chest.

Dr. Xiao, who was acting as the shopkeeper, immediately became serious.

He knew the sign on the Humpty Dumpty wizard's robes—or rather, any wizard who knew a little more about the world would be familiar with it.

Because that symbol belongs to a powerful law enforcement agency directly under the Wizarding Alliance, the Investigation Bureau of the Witching Alliance, which is what everyone calls the 'three-pronged sword' when everyone ridicules it on weekdays.

"Hello, is there anything we can help you with?" the shopkeeper finally walked out from behind the counter, trotted to the side of the 'three-pronged sword', and his tone was a little puzzled and uneasy.

The baby-faced 'Tri-Pronged Sword' did not make a false accusation, but showed his work card very simply: "Wizarding Alliance Investigation Bureau, Emergency Rapid Response Team, Registered Wizard, Commissioner Andrew." ”

"We received reports from the public that there were fish people on the pedestrian street and disappeared after entering your store. So come over and see if there's anything special here. ”
