Chapter 180: The Cat and the Fox and the Witch
After the old man Hemingway arranged today's patrol plan, Zheng Qing took over the patrol task of the promenade near the east side of the lake shore, and then took Lin Guo and walked to his place of work dejectedly.
He didn't want to stay by the lake anymore and continue to listen to the old school workers chatter about 'cheating hunters', 'young wizards now', 'one generation is not as good as the next' and so on.
The rumors are not credible, I don't understand this, I am so old and blind. The young public student secretly slandered himself three times, and the staff in his hand dragged between the grass, making a loud noise. The magic wind lamp at the head of the staff swayed left and right, carving a path in the night.
Lin Guo trotted all the way and followed behind the young public-funded student.
"What is the training subject today, are you all here?" Zheng Qing walked in front and asked in a muffled voice without looking back.
"According to the schedule, today it is time to train Carell tactics...... Dylan didn't come, he had to take a magic philosophy class, and he couldn't squeeze in time. Lin Guo hugged the notepad and stumbled to answer Zheng Qing's question.
Because the schedule is opposite to others, the time when everyone rests is when Dylan is in class. The rest of the team has complained to Zheng Qing more than once about this - the lack of personnel has caused the training progress to not match.
But discussing jet lag with vampires is as sensitive as discussing wizard purity with wizards of alien blood. For this reason, Zheng Qing has never discussed related topics with Dylan directly.
But it's not the way to go.
"Alas," the young student sighed, reining the depression in his heart, "I'll talk to him tomorrow morning...... At the very least, he was asked to submit the schedule a week in advance. Aspects of everyone training. ”
Lin Guo nodded again and again, but his head involuntarily turned to the big lake on one side.
In the twilight of spring, the moonlight is faint, and under the quiet night, there are no waves in the ancient well of Linzhong Lake, like a smooth mirror. Ten days ago, the muddy water of the lake muddled by the young fishmen of the fish-man tribe has been much clearer under the washing of time. Only the mud on the shore that once accumulated fish feces still exudes a slightly disgusting smell.
"They're so much tormented that even the kappa is much less. The little wizard muttered softly.
Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Kappa, as a common pest in Linzhong Lake, is the most disgusted by students in the school. On weekdays, students would roll them up with spells and throw them far into the depths of the lake, or some of them would be brave enough to grab bamboo poles and whip them up at the hardshells on their backs.
But as the saying goes, habit becomes nature. After the fish-people spoiled the Bell Lake and the kappa became fewer, the students living in the school were a little unaccustomed to it, and every time they passed by the lakeside, they always felt as if they were short of something.
"Kappa, I guess I hid in the bay and river with the fish women during this time...... In a few months, when the weather is warmer, they will definitely bubble again. Zheng Qing explained to Lin Guo soothingly, suddenly paused, and remembered something: "Has your timeline been adjusted?"
When he first dealt with Lin Guo, Zheng Qing knew about the little wizard's strange timeline - unlike ordinary people, Lin Guo's timeline was intermittent and would automatically reset according to the importance of the events he experienced. The more important people and important things are, the longer they will be in Lin Guo's timeline, and they will be unconsciously hidden in the deepest places by him.
Admittedly, this change can protect the soul of the young wizard who was shocked and frightened to a certain extent, but it will not do him much good for his future wizarding path. Before becoming a Grand Wizard, the less exposure young wizards have to high-end concepts such as time, cause and effect, the better. Too much contact can easily cause cognitive impairment and become an obstacle to their future advancement.
Therefore, after knowing the anomaly of Lin Guo's timeline, Zheng Qing and the other members of the Knights of the Guilty Knights discussed and persuaded him many times, and finally said that Lin Guo asked the school for help and adjusted his timeline.
This matter involves personal privacy, which is a little sensitive, and is rarely mentioned on weekdays.
Today, the two of them walked in the quiet night, Zheng Qing remembered the old incident of the last night patrol with Lin Guo, and felt that the timing was just right, so he took the opportunity to mention it.
Lin Guo was not as sensitive and suspicious as he imagined, but replied very cheerfully: "It's almost, Professor Yi's method is very effective...... At the very least, when I do alchemy experiments now, I don't need to prepare a special flow chart to remind me of the correct operation process. The professor said that in a year at most, this trouble can be solved. ”
When Zheng Qing heard this, he smiled with relief.
Indeed, for Lin Guo, who has a disordered timeline, the biggest trouble is not the occasional confusion when he is dealing with people, but the fact that when he is doing magic experiments, it is easy to reverse the 'importance of a certain operation step' and the 'order of operation steps'.
Especially the last point, the reversal of the order in the magic experiment is particularly terrifying - in the famous Brisbane Alchemy Laboratory, in an experiment to synthesize the Philosopher's Stone, because the operator added a catalyst before injecting the stabilizer, the laboratory was razed to the ground for ten miles. The alchemist also suffered heavy casualties.
This case was told to Zheng Qing by Dr. Duzem when they first met. The Doctor meant to tell Zheng Qing that the Philosopher's Stone was not easy to come by, and it was too wasteful to use it to save the elves. Zheng Qing thought of Lin Guo's timeline, which strengthened his determination to persuade Lin Guo to adjust the timeline.
When they came to the promenade on the east side of the lake, the other members of the Sin Hunting Team had been waiting for a long time.
But in addition to Xiao Xiao and the others, there were two uninvited guests, which made the corners of Zheng Qing's eyes jump.
"Why are you two here?" The captain of the Hunting Team frowned, looked at the two little witches hiding at the tail of the hunting team, and felt a little toothache: "Your cousin knows that you came out for a stroll at night? And you, did you report to Sister Su Man when you went out? Why did you report Poseidon too!"
What appeared in front of him was Li Meng and Su Ya.
Li Meng was holding a little white cat in her arms, and Su Ya was holding the little fox Poseidon in her arms.
"My cousin knew I was going out! Li Meng hugged the little white cat that Zheng Qing was very familiar with, and his chin was raised. She wore small leather boots on her feet, and behind her she was draped in a pink velvet coat, which flashed with golden runes and traces of silver spells from time to time, looking warm and safe.
Zheng Qing squinted, looked at the little white cat a few times, and turned to look at Su Ya.
"It was Poseidon who said he was coming. Su Ya looked at Zheng Qing confidently and raised the little fox in his arms: "It said that you promised it many times to take it out to patrol at night......"
The little fox hid its head under its big tail and looked embarrassed.
Three heads
