Hunting High School

"They're gone."

The owner of the Kini Cabin turned the wine glass in his hand and said to the empty wine room. The turquoise wine swirled down the glass wall, and the spherical ice cubes hit the glass wall, making a slight tinkling sound.

There was no one in the Sakura Tavern.

The wooden door upstairs was closed tightly. After seeing off the two first university students, Korma told the assistants that he needed to rest for a while, so everyone consciously lowered their voices. Through the thick door panels and blurred glass windows, you can see several passing gray robes walking on tiptoes, like weasels stealing chickens.

"Are you going to hide in the mirror for the rest of your life?"

Colmar tapped on a mirror on the bar and urged, "I only have half an hour to rest..."

"Come, come." A hoarse voice came out of the mirror with a bit of reluctance: "Do you know what I saw? Two streets away, a person who just obtained the 'Curse Seal' from you The young man, out of show off, showed his friends the 'bear summoning technique', and then attracted a big three-meter-tall brown bear... Hey, that was really lively!"

The witch's fingers holding the wine glass couldn't help clenching a little bit.

"Is anyone hurt?" She raised her voice slightly.

"Don't worry, don't worry." A nearly transparent mouse came out slowly from the mirror, and comforted: "It's just very lively, no one was hurt... Although these magicians in the North District are not very skilled, they often go to Silent Forest, you are very experienced in dealing with such beasts... and you even gave them a curse mark."

While speaking, the color on the mouse's body slipped like mercury and converged into the rippling mirror surface, revealing his old, wrinkled fur.

It's the Rat Immortal.

It's just that it's different from the past, today the big mouse is not sitting on the wooden chariot, and there is no mouse wearing a red vest next to him to give him a big umbrella, raise a flag, or act as a guard.

Hearing that no one was hurt, Korma's nervousness relaxed a lot.

She squinted her eyes and looked at the fat mouse that had just climbed out of the mirror—perhaps because she hadn’t used her paws to walk for a long time, the movement of the Mouse Fairy looked a bit jerky—suddenly she laughed:

"I heard that a yellow raccoon has been looking for you. Are you sure it's the right thing to come to see me now?"

"Indeed, indeed."

After hearing the word 'yellow flower raccoon', the Mouse Immortal showed a bit of uneasiness on his face, raised his head, and looked around a few times: "I can choose not to come, but I think it's better to come... "

As he said that, he glanced down at the cup of tea leaves that the witch pushed in front of him, carefully sizing up the shape of the tea leaves at the bottom of the cup, as if there was a yellow raccoon buried in that small cluster of tea leaves: "... After all, great achievements are made. Being a wizard is a very, very honorable thing. Although the process is not so glorious. But overall, it is worth celebrating."

"When I became a great wizard, my family set up a water table for ten days, and the principal gave me a rune book drawn by him. A full set of runes. It's impossible to see in the market!"

Kerma listened to the old rat in front of him babbling about the past, the smile on his face subsided quietly, and a trace of pity appeared in his eyes. This is roughly the pity of a lucky man for the unfortunate.

"...This is my congratulatory gift." The Mouse Immortal fumbled around his waist for a while, and finally found a simple silver ring with a translucent Amber embedded in it.

Through that layer of brown, you can vaguely see the shadow of rolling hills.

"Every great wizard needs a place to accommodate his 'existence'." The mouse fairy put the ring on the witch's finger and explained: "If you don't want to be forced to leave this world like those outer gods, Then you will definitely need this thing... This kind of thing, you will gradually understand... This is a 'world' given to me by an old friend of mine before he died, and I think it is a perfect gift. "

"How long have you been hiding in the mirror?" The witch stroked Amber on the ring, and did not ask more about the great wizard. Knowledge related to high rank wizards is not so easy to obtain.

"Front and rear feet," the Mouse Immortal lowered his chin at Zheng Qing and Jiang Yu's departure, the beard at the corner of his mouth curled up and down, looking extraordinarily proud:

"That kid just came, and I was here... I know what you want to say, but you know there is a word called 'dark under the lights', the more dangerous the place, the safer it is."

Nice words, but it's a tightrope that only a daring guy with a knack for walking will walk.

"You came today not just to give me a congratulatory gift." The witch finally made up her mind and asked this sentence. At the same time, she was also prepared to refuse in her heart - if the Rat Fairy wanted her wizards in the North to take risks for an impossible goal, she would definitely refuse on the spot.

"You know Dr. Terry Duzem, right?" the Rat Immortal asked in a declarative tone.

"It was you who told me the name." The witch replied cautiously.

A few weeks ago, in order to find a secret and suitable place to 'place' the summoning magic circle, Korma asked the Rat Immortal for help, and the condition it gave was to let the witch find Dr. Duzem.

But later, for some reason, before the witches fully figured out the identity of Dr. Duzem, the two mice actually said that they had completed the task—looking back now, maybe only Zheng had completed the task at that time. Please.

This also made Kerma more vigilant.

She knew how much trouble Zheng Qing was in. Just like the relationship between ability and responsibility, for most wizards, the stronger the background, the greater the trouble.

The Rat Immortal smiled, and revealed a few secrets of Buji Island to the new great wizard: "Dr. It has achieved great results... If that plan is successful, First University can mass-produce the 'Great Wizard'."

"It's just that Dr. Duzem is still too young, and he is a bit risky in doing things. There was an accident. When the school was investigating the accident, it was accidentally discovered that several of his experiments seriously violated the ethical boundaries recognized by the alliance... For example, he used living creatures to refine The Philosopher's Stone; like his experiments with the remains of the deceased Grand Wizard."

The Rat Immortal's words were still a little vague, and he didn't name what happened to the plan, but the little information he revealed already gave the witch the urge to cover her ears.

True, she was now entitled to the secrets, and she was interested in what happened next. But many things are not something you can understand if you are interested and qualified.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who has known me for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It’s really easy to use. I rely on reading and listening to books to pass the time while driving and before going to bed. You can download yeguoyuedu here]

Just like the saying in the wizarding world, "When a wizard stares into the abyss, it is the beginning of the fall, because the abyss will also start to look at you at that moment."

It's a pity that there are some things that can't be heard without covering your ears.
