Colmar came to Quanke today to discuss a big deal.

Big business with tens of thousands of frogs.

In the entire Phuket Island, or rather, the entire wizarding world, there are not many merchants who can provide tens of thousands of live frogs for the wizards of the Northern District at one time, let alone provide them for a long time.

And most of the qualified ones are the merchants of the water tribe.

After all, in the past, the group with the greatest demand for live frogs in the wizarding world was the fish-man tribes scattered in various regions of the world. They have a habit of eating salted frogs, and many small fish people will also treat frogs as snacks or pets.

The young fishman Iseni of the Ouroboros hunting team had a flying frog as a pet, and Zheng Qing had seen it during the hunting competition last year.

I don't know if I'm dead now.

There is such a bad thing when pets coincide with deliciousness. It's cute when you're alive, but it's delicious when you're dead. Koko.

"I just want some regular green-skinned frogs...... Of course, the yellow-skinned ones are fine. Colmar grumbled to the young wizards, gesturing to an old fishman beside him, "But it used a snow clam to pit me!"

Snow clam is the toad, mainly produced in the Changbai Mountain and Xing'an Mountains area, its meat is delicious, the whole frog can also be used in medicine, toad oil is also a good product for treating deficiency. Zheng Qing had eaten this kind of thing when he was a child.

"Aren't snow clams a more precious species than frogs?

"This little young master is a good master!" After the old fishman unexpectedly received support, he was overjoyed, and immediately called out to the sky: "When those snow clams are purchased, the unit price is three silver horns and five copper each, and I will sell you only three silver horns and six coppers...... There's no more loyal asking price in the entire wizarding world than mine!"

Colmar rolled her eyes wide.

"I can buy a frog with three coppers, why should I buy three snow clams with silver horns?" she shook the snow-white ponytail behind her head and pouted, "Don't compare me to those great wizards who are high up in the wizard tower and hide in the wizard tower all day to do experiments...... When I was a kid, I was a Northerner who traveled through the Black Forest and caught a corpse beetle!"

The two wizards of the Northern District who followed behind her suddenly straightened their chests with a proud expression. Zheng Qing felt that at that moment, their faces were almost glowing.

"Can you think about it again?" the old fishman persevered, "I can lower the price by another half copper...... It's really not business. How ugly it would be for a pretty little girl to use magic with an ugly green-skinned frog in her hand. Snow clams are the frogs they can carry. ”

"If it's not for business, you can give me these clams. ”

"It's not a business, but there's no reason for me to lose money!"

"Still not sincere enough!" the witch finally came to this conclusion, refusing to budge in the slightest.

The old fish-man sighed, shook his head, and walked away.

"I don't understand it...... What the hell does it want to do?" Zheng Qing asked, staring at the back of the old fishman leaving.

Colmar didn't answer.

The one who answered him was Dr. Xiao Da, the brains of the Sin Hunting Team: "The fish people want to befriend the new great wizard and find allies for the tribe, but they are afraid to do so. It's big, and I'm worried that the Wizarding Alliance won't be happy...... Do you have any ideas about a group of magical creatures who have been imprisoned and the great wizards of the alliance who are wantonly interacting with each other?"

"But the pen is small, and it seems to be calculating, too petty. Zheng Qing also came back to his senses and nodded: "It's like the old fish man just now." ”

At this, he shook his head.

"It's too difficult for a fishman to grasp the subtle difference between a philistine and a shrewd. The wizard thought of the fish's cerebellum and sighed, "They could have lived a little easier." ”

"Nobody wants to be kept in captivity like a pig...... An overly easy life is not a good thing for the fish people. In this kind of thing, you don't need to worry about them at all. Colmar sent two of her henchmen to find a new source of goods, and after hearing the conversation between the wizards, she interjected and added, "A race is both vulnerable and strong beyond imagination. Sometimes, a single word can bring a race to its knees. But there are times when a race can hold on for long years in darkness and despair. ”

Zheng Qing was familiar with the last sentence, and he remembered that Maupassant seemed to have said something similar.

But right now, he doesn't have any more thoughts about remembering the books he read as a child.

Because Senior Sister Colma walked between him and Jiang Yu with a big grin, putting one hand on his shoulder and the other hand on Jiang Yu's shoulder, hugging him very tightly.

The summer robes are very thin, and Zheng Qing can clearly feel the coolness and richness under the two layers of fabric.

His whole body became a little stiff.

Jiang Yu also seemed a little surprised, and his walking steps became clumsy.

Xiao Xiao was slightly speechless, holding his head in both hands, looking up at the sky, kicking and stepping, and following behind the three of them boredly.

Colmar didn't seem to be aware of the discomfort of the witches and wizards.

She seemed extremely relaxed, because there was no attendant, and she had fewer scruples to speak:

"Actually, if you want me to say, it's not bad to use a toad as a sacrifice, and it's cheaper. But everyone said that there was a lack of mystery and that the wizards of the North End were ugly. ”

“...... Many times, you have to learn to compromise. Choose between useless and not so useful. I've already regretted why I didn't use rabbits as a sacrifice in the first place. ”

"Because rabbits are one of the protected species under the Wizarding Code," the wizard replied in a weak tone, "It is a crime to kill rabbits at will." ”

Colmar laughed and patted the wizard on the shoulder.

"You're so much more honest than you seem!" she commented.

The wizard objected to this assessment.

So he changed the subject:

"I've heard people say that the Great Wizard who has just been promoted needs to be careful to stabilize his realm and condense his true body. Is it really okay for you to wander around so casually now?"

What if you are attacked by some dark wizard?, he added to himself.

"It's a prosthetic. Colma said, strangled Zheng Qing's head hard at himself, and teased: "Can't you tell the difference between truth and falsehood?"

Although the sense of abundance was stronger, for some reason, Zheng Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart. The stiff body was also much soothed.

Only then did he realize that he hadn't felt the 'Great Wizard's Momentum' that he had seen that night from Senior Sister Colmar today.

I don't know if it's an illusion, he keenly felt that Jiang Yu 'next door' also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Without this stress, the subsequent visit becomes very pleasant.

Compared to the Four Seasons Fang, Quankelai's polder market is much smaller – even smaller than the palindromic collection.

The three of them walked around the entire polder market, but they met many acquaintances.

For example, Professor Li from Potions class, Uncle Stendhal from the school committee, Lady Bella from the school hospital, and the neighbor across from D&K, the owner of the wandering bar.

In addition to this, there are other students.

For example, Seprano.

Zheng Qing bet that Seprano must have come to talk to the fishmen about smuggling and illegal trade.

Because this is one of the few opportunities to chat with the Fish-Man tribe in the open, Seprano has almost been confirmed as the next Augustus of the Blood Friends, and there are obviously many more wizards around.

What surprised Zheng Qing more was Zhang Jixin, who appeared with his brother.
