"As for the escort, the mounted police of the Beta Town Sheriff's Bureau will be in charge. ”

Speaking of this, the wizard of the three-pronged sword raised his head, glanced at the treetops in the distance of the Silent Forest, then took out his pocket watch, glanced at the time, and muttered, "Why haven't you come yet...... At this point, they should be there?"

"Over there!" Zheng Qing pointed in the opposite direction to the three-pronged sword wizard's gaze and shouted, "Is it them?"

The other people on the boat turned their heads in unison and looked in the direction that Zheng Qing was pointing out.

I saw several figures riding broomsticks flying rapidly from the other side of the river, constantly lowering their altitude. On the way, the undulating treetops protruding from both sides of the river bank did not bother them in the slightest.

The broom swept over the obstacles under the control of the wizards, and from time to time rolled up a few dead leaves left on the branches.

"Whew!"

"Whew!"

In an instant, the mounted police stopped on both sides of the ferry with a howling wind.

There were five newcomers, two on each side of the sling, and a leading mounted policeman, who stopped the broom on the deck, lifted his legs, and jumped off the broomstick.

Zheng Qing noticed that these brooms were all blue and white striped.

There was also a thin thread hanging from the tail of the broom, and a red jack-o-lantern like a spinning top hung from the end of the thread, which was spinning wildly and squeaky and beeping alarms, which seemed to be noisy.

After jumping off the broom, the leading mounted policeman grabbed the red jack-o-lantern and hung it on the hook embedded in the tail of the broom.

Then the captain of the mounted police strode towards the old boatman.

"What's going on, do you need help, Professor?" he pulled the pointed wizard hat from his head and pressed his other hand to the book at his waist, his tone polite.

Zheng Qing noticed that there was a fluorescent orange corn snake coiled on the brim of his hat, and it was drooping its head, as if it was asleep. Even if the captain of the mounted police tugged on the brim of his hat, he didn't let the little snake move a little. One wonders if it's not a living thing, just an ornament.

"Don't call me Professor!" George Bernard Shaw sighed, pointed to the wizard with the three-pronged sword next to him, and said, "An accident...... Just follow the process. ”

The wizard of the three-pronged sword immediately handed the notepad in his hand to the captain of the mounted police, and at the same time succinctly described what had just happened.

At the end, he pointed to Zheng Qing and the boat under his feet, and added, "Because we still have to complete the follow-up on-site tasks, it is more convenient for you to have time, so I will leave the matter of escorting the ferry boat to Beta Town later...... I can send Zheng Qing to the North District Wharf to get off the boat, and after I go ashore, my other colleagues will take over the follow-up work. ”

"Good work!"

As he spoke, the Mounted Police Captain had already finished reading the contents of the noteboard, and when he heard the words, he pulled the brim of his hat again, and nodded kindly in agreement: "This is our duty." ”

The three-pronged sword suddenly smiled.

But before his smile could fade, the Mounted Police Captain spoke again:

"There's no problem with the timing...... However, the broom we are using now is the 'Concord Max' series, and the minimum speed is 60 per hour, and the broom will stall if it is slower. If it's the previous 'Hummingbird-4C' or 'Dragonfly-5 series', it's okay to say that those two brooms have good low-speed flight capabilities...... Now this one ......"

As he spoke, he looked around with a look of embarrassment on his face.

His concerns were clear to all.

The ferry boat is an ordinary pole boat, and it is not equipped with high-end alchemy power equipment, and it is really powerless to rely on it to catch up with the flying broomsticks of the 'Concord MAX' series.

The old man George Bernard Shaw laughed and waved his hand very domineeringly: "What's the matter...... Even if you fly next to you, I won't be able to catch up with you, and I'll chop this little broken boat and use it as firewood!"

With that, he bent down and fished out the palm-sized white buffaloes from the bamboo basket at the bow of the boat and threw them straight into the river.

The buffalo rose at the sight of the river, and in the blink of an eye, it grew from the size of a palm to a height of two meters. The coiled horns, the strong muscles, and the smooth satin fur all show the onlookers how extraordinary they are.

Then George Bernard Shaw stomped his foot.

Several thick cables shot out of the mezzanine below deck, clinging to the buffalo like a swimming snake, shuttling back and forth, and in a matter of moments a strong cow frame was formed.

"If the speed is sixty per hour, the power of five bulls is enough. The old man nodded, tapped the penny in his hand in the water, looked at the two investigators on the boat, and blinked: "Let's go!"

The captain of the mounted police looked at the big guys who only showed a little back in the river in surprise, as well as the few taut cables, and praised: "It is rare for people to raise so many jade cattle now." ”

"Because everyone thinks that the maintenance of alchemy equipment is a little more convenient. The three-pronged wizard replied, turning to the old boatman, "See you then, Professor!"

As he spoke, he put away his notepad and quill pen, and with a soft thud, disappeared from the deck without a trace.

The Mounted Police captain also jumped back on his broomstick and began to lead the way above the ferry.

The jack-o-lantern dangling from the broom's tail spun wildly again, emitting a piercing scream.

In the following voyage, the old man George Bernard Shaw did not reopen the blockade of the cabin, and Zheng Qing could only hold on to the side of the ship, cross-legged, and sit on the deck honestly, letting the cold wind blow him to tears.

But objectively speaking, the view from the deck is clearer and more sensual than from the cabin.

Even though it was a cold winter, Zheng Qing could still feel the vitality of the silent forest—like an old bottle of wine in a cellar, the aroma of which was not revealed until the cap was opened—something that was hard to feel through the glass windows of a cabin.

Of course, the passengers who are now sitting in the cabin of the ship are deprived of even this right.

The shutters on both sides of the cabin had never been opened since before, and Zheng Qing pondered that it was estimated that the old man George Bernard Shaw would end his 'protection' of them until he reached the dock.

Because of the erection of several buffaloes, the subsequent speed became extremely fast.

The waterway, which was supposed to take more than half a day to complete, was completed in only half an hour under the traction of the buffalo. When the ferry boat docked at the edge of the pier in the northern part of Beta Town, the sun had not even risen to its peak.

This made Zheng Qing's eyes hot.

"Do you sell these buffaloes?" When he saw George Bernard Shaw put the white buffaloes back into the bamboo basket, he couldn't help but ask, "Where did you buy them?"

The old boatman glanced at him with drooping eyelids.

"This is a working cow provided by the school working committee, not for sale. The old man added in a rough voice: "If you really want to buy it, you can go to the Green grocery store and ask, they sell everything there." ”
