Chapter 161: Listening to the Tide (4)
"No more nonsense. ”
The Rat Immortal interrupted the black-robed wizard, "Keep an eye on it, don't let unclean things get into your lab." ”
As he spoke, the slender tail behind it suddenly stretched out, poked out of the chariot, and rolled out a mouse in a cyan vest from the mouse, the mouse waved its claws in horror, and a humanized expression appeared on its face.
"Spare me!" it could only shout out those two words.
"Sorry, private business, no visitors. The rat fairy said to the rat with a blank face, and the rat's tail suddenly tightened.
Click.
The rat's neck in the cyan vest tilted to the other side.
As soon as the rat's tail was loosened, there was a plop, and the rat fell into the soft ground of the forest, and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye. It's as if a wave has disappeared into the sea. The other rats in vests were unconscious, still lining up in a neat line, and rushed towards the small gate in an orderly manner.
The black-robed wizard sighed deeply.
"Why bother. He muttered, his gaze wandering from the little gate to the river, his voice hoarse and tired: "...... How many rats, my eyes are a little sour. ”
"If it's sour, wash it. The rat fairy replied indifferently, and his eyes still did not leave his rat group for a moment: "You don't want real 'rats' to follow these children into your construction site." ”
The wizard with the hood did not say anything, but took out an inch-high jar from his pocket and removed the cork from the bottle.
A beige mist immediately rose from the mouth of the bottle.
Then he put his fingers in his hood, squirming, and a moment later, threw the buttoned eyeballs into the bottle. The black-and-white eyes were bloodshot and floated in the translucent eyewash. It's like two little alien fish playing around.
The wizard pulled out another glass rod and stirred it in the cup.
The beige mist grew a little thicker.
The rat immortal's gaze still did not leave his mouse, but his ears moved slightly: "If you are willing to sell the formula of your eyewash to Fitzel Magic Potions, you won't be bothered by the cost of alchemy materials...... For many old-school wizards, Duzem's name still works. ”
"Hey, it's Duzem from First University that works, not a non-existent Duzem. ”
The black-robed wizard, or Dr. Duzem, laughed twice, "...... As for the eye wash, I wouldn't mind selling it. But there are probably not many wizards who can use and can afford this method of eyewashing. Those potions companies never want to trade at a loss. ”
"No one wants to trade at a loss. The rat fairy replied meaningfully.
The glade was silent for a moment.
"So, have you invested enough capital this time?" Dr. Duzem asked softly, "Only with enough capital can you have enough ability to resist risks...... The so-called too big to fail, when your capital is big enough, the power that you don't want to fall will also become very large. Then your chances of success will be much higher. ”
The Rat Immortal didn't answer the Doctor's question immediately.
The whiskers at the corners of its mouth twitched: "Since you know this truth, why did you fail in the first place?"
"I realized this after I failed. ”
"Since you have had the experience of failure, then you should naturally understand the truth that everything is foreseen and nothing is lost. At this point, the rat immortal paused, his gaze falling on the edge of the river.
The rat tide is nearing its end.
Now coming out of the river are mostly small mice in yellow vests, and their numbers are getting scarcer and rarer. It patted the handrail of the chariot and let it rise upwards for a wider view:
“...... From last year's winter hunt to the Kuroshio at the beginning of the year, we have conducted enough simulation exercises. Tested the strength of the school's guardian circle and confirmed the abilities of our allies. ”
"We have enough strength to open up two battlefields, and that's what we're worth. ”
"When Ju Zero-3 descends on the Black Prison and competes with those guys for the Xuanhuang Fruit, we will also instigate a new round of Black Tide. An unprecedented round of Kuroshio. This time, school won't be as easy as it was a few months ago. The distant hill giants and dragons we've recruited ......"
"Giants?" Dr. Duzem couldn't help but interrupt, "those rough guys, once they move, there will be a lot of movement." Can you hide from the school's surveillance?"
"This time, we don't need to worry about being discovered. We just have to worry that the school won't find out. The rat immortal looked at the last few little mice in yellow vests and got into the arch, and sighed softly: "...... Only when the school finds that the Silent Forest is unstable will it draw back from the Black Prison. That's what we're for. ”
"You're taking a chill out of the demon's fire. ”
"No, it's a win-win. The rat immortal's beard trembled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face became more and more profound: "It's like our cooperation with you...... You've got a chance to advance, and we've got a giant zero...... We take the pressure off of the black prison for them, and they also take the spotlight of the school for us. ”
As he spoke, the Rat Immortal's gaze crossed the edge of the Silent Forest, crossed the end of the Silent River, and landed on the vast sea. The fog on the sea surface in the distance makes it difficult to see the ups and downs of the waves, but the sound of the waves is far away with the sound of the wind.
Far away.
......
......
Wow, wow, wow.
The tide swells outside the cramped cabin, tumbling day and night.
The wind swept by.
A gap appeared between the two clouds, and a ray of sunlight fell down the sea, on the Mist, and then through the narrow window, and fell on the banshee sitting by the window.
Nikita stuck out her tongue and licked the sun.
It's warm, just like the taste in memory.
The ship rarely sees the sun.
Especially when it is driving, it is always shrouded in an endless fog. Just like its name. It had been almost three hundred days, from the height of summer last year to the height of summer this year, and she had spent most of her time in this gloomy cabin, preparing food for the few crew members and the captain.
"Biting your fingers when you're hungry doesn't always work," she said to her alter self in an almost whispered voice, "There's not that much food on the boat, you can eat half and throw half away......"
The kitchen was silent, without a single echo.
The banshee turned her ears sideways and listened carefully, and after listening for a long time, she said in a comforting tone: "Okay, okay, I know that there is a lot of food in the school, and it is fresh...... But we can't go back ourselves...... The captain said that he would take us home this month. Zhou Zhou, do you want to be a mother? ”
