Monster Hunting High School

Chapter 31: Suet Oil

"Originally I was checking accounts in the store."

"There weren't many customers in the shop at noon. The bald man entered the shop and hung around for a while. When he was the only customer left in the shop, he suddenly got angry and knocked down a few of us with a few spells."

"Then we watched helplessly as he stuffed Tink Ears into the bag. At that moment, Tink Ears and a few cats who were stocking goods in the warehouse at the back came back and scared the robber away."

"Almost at the same time, the doctor broke free from the binding spell and chased after him..."

Fox Five spoke quickly to Robert Lee describing what he had experienced in the store. Ding Dong Er and several cats were close to Ding Dong Er, looking around cautiously, as if he wanted to leave but didn't dare.

Fatty Xin came back out of nowhere and squeezed in between Zheng Qing and Xiao Xiao, holding his notebook and quill with an expression of excitement as if he had caught big news.

Zheng Qing glanced at the fat man, resisted the urge to beat him, and looked at Xiao Xiao: "Why did you stay in the store for so long? Didn't you just check the account?"

"There's not much left in the store."

Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses: "Originally, we sold Linzhong Lake fishmen and the Rat Tribe's specialties, but you all know what's going on with the Rat Tribe now. Their shelves have been empty for quite some time... I checked the accounts in the store today. At that time, I heard that there was a batch of mutton oil for sale at the Wandering Bar across the street, so I sat there for a while and took pictures of them, which took a lot of time. "

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional. After hearing the doctor's explanation, Zheng Qing and Fatty Xin focused on two completely different directions.

"Suet?"

Fatty Xin's eyes lit up, and his whole face seemed to glow with a radiance: "If there is mutton oil, there will be mutton! Do they sell mutton? How much does it cost? Cooked meat or raw meat?"

As he spoke, he swallowed hard, and there was a suspicious transparent liquid shining at the corner of his mouth.

"The Wandering Bar is still open?"

Zheng Qing was very interested in the other name mentioned by the doctor. He frowned and asked: "The Dark Parliament caused such a big thing in the Black Prison battlefield, and the wandering wizard hasn't run away yet?"

Xiao Xiao leaned back and looked left and right, not knowing which one to answer first.

After a long while, he thought about it and answered Zheng Qing's confusion: "After the black tide ended, Wandering Bar was actually closed for a while, but it reopened more than half a month ago... But I didn't see him today either. , there are only a few multi-armed waiters in the store... On the surface, the announcement issued by Beta Town is that Wandering Bar pays taxes according to regulations, and the store operation is legal and compliant..."

When these words came out, several listeners, including Zheng Qing, curled their lips in unison. If the 'underground market' wandering bar, which is somewhat famous in the entire wizarding world, can be regarded as a model of law-abiding, then Danhag should probably be cancelled.

Perhaps he felt that the official statement was too funny. Xiao Xiao shook his head and did not repeat it completely. He changed the topic and expressed his own judgment: "...but according to the information I heard in the Wandering Bar, there is a high probability that the school and The Dark Council reached an agreement, so Wandering Bar continues to remain.”

Fatty Xin sniffed and said disdainfully, "Is this why you drank Amber Light in broad daylight?"

"You can't just talk to others and ask for information." At this point, Xiao Xiao seemed to have remembered something, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and stuffed it into Hu Wu's arms.

Hu Wu was answering the Sheriff's question. He didn't react for a moment and took it blankly.

"What?" Zheng Qing vaguely saw that there seemed to be the Wandering Bar's emblem on the note.

"Reimbursement voucher." Xiao Xiao wiped the corner of his mouth and said seriously: "Whether helping to purchase goods or asking for information, I can't pay alone... Don't worry, I will raise this matter at the hunting team meeting. It is absolutely compliant."

Zheng Qing had no doubt about this - although he always felt that Xiao Xiao's behavior was for private use of public funds, but it was not the time to ponder these details for a moment.

"I also have bills that I want to reimburse." The fat man looked at this scene with envy.

Xiao Xiao waved his hand and wrote lightly: "No problem, as long as the reason is sufficient and the purpose is reasonable, I will reimburse you after it is approved at the hunting team's plenary meeting."

The fat man sighed heavily, and the quill in his hand looked a little listless. He did not have the eloquence and popularity of a doctor, and the idea of ​​eating and drinking with public funds was cut off as soon as he sprouted.

"Are sheep rare?" Zheng Qing looked at the fat man's frustrated expression and thought of his previous question.

"It's not that rare, but it's certainly rare."

The fat man pricked up his ears to capture the gossip around him and recorded it in his notebook, while briefly answering Zheng Qing's question: "Magical creatures originating from Qian Lai Mountain, the school introduced a batch of them in the Silent Forest... they look like sheep, but have long The meat of the horse's tail is tender, and the oil can remove wrinkles. Many witches like to use mutton oil as a base to prepare their own cosmetics."

Xiao Xiao said: "It is said that this batch of sheep oil from Wandering Bar was extracted from a group of sheep that died outside the town when the black tide hit some time ago. Their flesh and bones have been taken away by several wealthy families in the West District."

There are many villas of powerful wizard families in the west area of ​​Beta Town, and Qingqiu Mansion is among them. Hearing that the mutton had been taken away by the wizard over there, the fat man sighed, knowing that he had no hope.

"It turns out it can remove wrinkles... No wonder." Zheng Qingze suddenly understood why Xiao Xiao wanted to buy this batch of suet. Because they had discussed privately many times that the easiest and most profitable business on the entire pedestrian street was related to witches.

"I also want mutton fat!" Li Meng heard the word 'wrinkle removal' from the side, and immediately became interested. He extended his hand to Xiao Xiao without any courtesy: "First two or three kilograms, let me take a look. Effect."

"You are so young, why are you using mutton oil?" Zheng Qing pushed the little witch's arm away impatiently.

Xiao Xiao tilted his head, glanced at her, and at the same time looked at Su Ya, who was holding Poseidon, and Zhu Si, who was standing boredly behind a few people.

"Why are they here?" He turned around and looked at Zheng Qing in surprise.

Zheng Qing rolled his eyes.

He didn't know how to answer this question.

Before he could think of what to say, he heard a few "chichi" sounds like a balloon deflating from the space next to him, and immediately four or five figures appeared in random order.

Some of them were wearing black robes, some were wearing gray robes, and a few were wearing red robes and white robes - Zheng Qing could easily tell that the black robes had the badge of the three-pronged sword on their chests, and the gray robes were school janitors. They are members of the committee, and the seniors and seniors in red and white robes must belong to the school patrol team.

But I don’t know why they arrived at the scene so late.
