Chapter 54: Greetings from afar
The wandering wizard stood by the railing on the second floor, silent as he watched the backs of the two young wizards leave. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the wall behind him, a portrait embedded in a walnut picture frame came with a rustling sound, and the man in the black wizard's robe on the canvas suddenly coughed lightly.
"Ahem!"
The man in the portrait wears a greasy peaked wizard hat with a large hooked nose that seems to puncture the frame. At this moment, he clenched his fist with one hand, brought it to his mouth, and coughed fakely:
"Ahem!"
The wandering wizard had apparently heard the unusual call.
"Say!" he said, with his back to the portrait, still looking downstairs, his voice a little gloomy.
"Good evening, distinguished Mr. Senator. The man in the portrait tugged at the brim of his hat and greeted him in a smooth tone: "Guests from afar bring you late summer greetings and wish you a happy life." ”
"Hmph. The wandering wizard expressed his emotions in one word.
The sorcerer in the portrait seemed to sense the displeasure of the shopkeeper, and laughed a few times flatteringly, and praised:
"This bar is really lively! I have been in London, New York, and Shanghai for the past few days, and I have not found such a successful bar!"
The wandering wizard remained motionless and did not seem to hear the compliments.
"The little ones who just came downstairs were really interesting. Is that red-faced boy a child of the Zhang family? Like his grandfather, he can't drink...... And the short man with glasses, the black notebook in his arms always seemed familiar to me. ”
The wandering wizard remained motionless and silent.
The male witch in the portrait finally could no longer talk to himself, he straightened up and cleared his throat again:
"Ahem, there are three things in the organization that inform you. ”
At this point, the man in the portrait changed his tone and began to pinch his throat, as if an old eunuch had decreed it:
"First things about the Dark Blue Castle. Not long ago, they were secretly conducting dimensional fluctuation experiments that were discovered by the Wizarding Alliance, and the relevant experimental materials were seized during the inspection...... You should know that they took some valuable experimental materials from the organization in your name during the dimensional fluctuation experiments, and now those ghosts have a tendency to rely on them...... Now, the organization means that you will be solely responsible for the rest of the business. ”
"Humph!" the wandering wizard snorted again, but still didn't reply immediately.
He knew that another expression of full responsibility was that he was responsible for all the losses as well.
For him, this is not a surprise, after all, there are people who like to fall into the well at any time.
"The second thing is about the Black Prison. The organization wanted to find out what was going on there as soon as possible, and why First University was sending elite wizards from all over the world to report back to campus...... Although they do this very secretly, there is nothing unspeakable for the big people in this world...... I would like you to confirm whether the recent changes of the Grand Captains of the Siren King have anything to do with this matter. ”
At this point, the man in the portrait pauses, as if to say something more, but eventually gives up.
The wandering wizard stood motionless in front of the railing, silent.
"The third thing, the organization has received news that the Working Committee of the First University has conducted a raid on the wandering bar in the near future, so please be sure to take relevant precautions. ”
"Above!"
The man in the portrait tugged at the brim of the pointed wizard's hat, reverted back to his previous slick tone, and added with a grin, "What instructions do you have?"
The wandering wizard didn't speak immediately.
He was still silent looking at the joyful swaying figures in the hall on the first floor.
There was no one in the deep hallway on the second floor, only a breeze from nowhere that rolled up the curtains on the walls, bringing a low whimper.
After a long time, the shopkeeper of the wandering bar slowly spoke:
"Regarding the Dark Blue Castle, I am involved in this transaction, so I can take full responsibility for the subsequent debt disputes. The wandering wizard's withered fingers tapped slowly on the wooden railing, chewing on the appropriate words in his mouth: "You can reply to the committee, and I will downgrade the agency rating of the Dark Blue Castle to Silver within a week...... As a first warning. ”
"Understood!" the man in the portrait pulled out a small notebook from his pocket and recorded it quickly.
"As for the depths of the Black Prison, there is still no news. In recent months, there have indeed been a large number of wizards returning from the battlefields of the New World. But these elite forces are currently missing out of the Black Prison, and I have no update to provide here...... What is certain is that this matter has little to do with the changes of those sea monsters...... The Kraken's movements must have something to do with that old immortal guy from First University. ”
The man on the canvas gasped and let out a suppressed exclamation: "He?"
"That old immortal guy has been gone for almost ten years. The wandering wizard sneered in a low voice, "Now the affairs of the school are divided between the two vice principals Shi Hui and Ruoyu, as well as several other college deans...... If the old man does not show up again, it is estimated that Phuket will have a civil war in the near future to settle these unresolved disputes. ”
The witch on the canvas swallowed loudly.
His eyes wandered, and he tugged at the brim of his hat in some panic.
It seems to have been frightened by the wandering wizard's bold remarks.
"As for the third thing. The wandering wizard turned his head, staring at the portrait on the wall with a dark gaze, silent for a while.
The man on the wall was still a little hippie at first, then slowly retracted his smile when he realized that it seemed inappropriate, and finally lowered his gaze under the gaze of the wandering wizard and began to writhe himself uneasily.
"Go back and tell those old immortal fellows! If you want to die, come to Beta to find me!Don't play tricks right under my nose!" the wandering wizard roared under his breath, smashing the outer glass of the frame.
"Whoa!"
The wandering wizard's wizened fingers pressed directly on the dry canvas, and a wisp of green smoke began to rise slowly from the place where his fingertips touched the canvas:
"If there is a next time...... The First University patrol is about to storm my bar, so you came to let me know...... Then the agreement between us will be like this canvas......"
The man in the portrait jumped up in horror, grabbed the small notebook in one hand, and pressed his pointed wizard hat in the other, and disappeared from the canvas in the blink of an eye.
The wandering wizard viciously pulled the blank canvas that had begun to burn out of the frame, and tore it to shreds with a few clicks.
He then casually discarded the broken canvases on the floor and walked slowly into the hallway.
Behind him, a multi-armed attendant silently appeared in the hallway, quietly collecting the burning scraps of paper one by one and cleaning them up.
