Monster Hunting High School

"Did I go a little too far just now?"

After dragging Zheng Qing onto the dance floor, Jiang Yu wiped away the cold and proud look before, with a trace of apprehension on her face. However, she resisted not looking back to see the reaction of the witches, and just whispered in Zheng Qing's ear.

Zheng Qing turned his head and noticed a few strands of hair falling from the side of the witch's face, so he raised his hand to tuck it behind her ears.

Jiang Yu's ears suddenly turned red.

"It's not too much, not at all!" The boy said without any hesitation, his eyes were firm, "In fact, I think they are more than you are!"

The witch's eyebrows arched again, but she still couldn't help but sigh: "Really? I always felt that my tone just now was a bit harsh. If the upbringing mother was here, she would definitely teach me a lesson... Moreover, if Councilor Su Knowing that I'm talking nonsense in Shanglin Garden, will I cause trouble for you?"

"Nonsense?" Zheng Qing frowned and reminded her: "This word is not nice... What nonsense are you talking about? Why should she trouble me!"

When the person involved is not present, he can be as tough as he wants.

He still has some courage.

Jiang Yufei glanced at him, but still explained patiently: "It's about whether Councilor Su knows that you came to Shanglinyuan today? I just lied to them that I discussed it with Councilor Su years ago..."

"Isn't it?" Zheng Qing interrupted her explanation, raised three fingers, and emphasized seriously: "I can testify that you have indeed discussed it with her, and I am right next to you... Two to one, if she doesn't Remember, it must be because she stayed in the laboratory for too long and forgot about it! "

The boy's words were so certain that Jiang Yu even doubted whether he had really discussed this matter with Su Shijun.

But soon.

After Zheng Qing put down his finger, a trace of uneasiness similar to her before appeared on his face: "...Having said that, there shouldn't be anyone really asking her to confront her about this matter."

The witch suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Da da.

A small and crisp sound of hoofbeats interrupted the whispers between the young wizard and witch.

Zheng Qing followed the sound and unexpectedly saw several beautiful horses wandering around on the dance floor. They were dressed in beautiful silk clothes, with complicated magic inscriptions embedded on their hoofs. Their manes were black, red and gold, and together with their tails Neatly manicured.

One of the brown foals was walking towards the two of them cautiously.

"Is there any dressage performance at the dance?" Zheng Qing asked the witch beside him in a low voice - this was his first reaction after seeing those beautiful horses.

"Dressage?" Jiang Yu obviously did not understand the meaning of this word.

Zheng Qing pointed to the horses, with a hint of confusion in his tone: "Are those horses? If it's not a dressage performance, why do you dress them so beautifully and let them enter the dance venue?"

The witch grabbed the boy's hand and pressed it.

"Don't make random gestures, be careful of getting into trouble." She explained with a bit of nervousness and surprise, speaking very quickly: "They are not horses, they are representatives of the Houyhnhnms clan! The Houyhnhnms are an ancient magical life that introduces A magical species between horses and unicorns, very kind, noble, proud and sensitive... You treat it as a horse, just like others treat us as monkeys! If they hear it, it will become a very serious diplomatic issue. ACCIDENT!"

"Hyhnhnm?" Zheng Qing repeated this slightly unfamiliar word.

"Yes, in their semantics, the word means 'nature's perfection'."

Having said this, the witch shook her head slightly: "Of course, this kind of behavior is just like when we look in the mirror, we will always beautify ourselves unconsciously... Houyhnhnms, like the centaurs, are very good at astrology and are very familiar with totem magic. You also have unique insights into shamanic magic. In addition, you need to be careful not to mention your origins in Baiding's world in front of them... The Houyhnhnms call Baiding 'Yahu' and think that they are a group of dirty, ugly and despicable beings. ...Don’t ask me, I don’t know what happened to make them have such deep resentment, but I know that the wizard who first dealt with the Houyhnhnms had to use transformation to change into the form of a horse, and finally transformed into a horse. Successfully talk to these guys with eyes on their foreheads.”

While they were talking, the little brown pony came kicking in front of the two of them, raised its head, and said a few words in a confused manner. Zheng Qing could clearly hear the cadence of its words, and the strong nasal and guttural sounds. , which is obviously different from the neighing of a horse.

Zheng Qing looked at Jiang Yu.

But he found that Jiang Yu was also looking at him.

"What is it talking about?" The boy blinked, looking innocent.

"how could I know!"

The witch replied angrily - Zheng Qing suspected that even if she could speak Houyhnhnm, she would still claim that she couldn't because of the sticky pronunciation - after a pause, the witch still spoke and uttered a A string of elegant and melodious chirps.

Although he didn't understand it, Zheng Qing knew that what she spoke should be Phoenix. This language was on her class schedule this semester, and Zheng Qing had heard her recite it when she was previewing her homework.

It's just that the little brown horse obviously does not belong to the management of the King of Birds, and has no reaction to the pleasant bird calls in front of him.

Then Jiang Yu tried several other languages ​​such as nymph, mermaid, ghost, demon, etc. The only thing these languages ​​have in common is that they sound good. However, the pony opposite him was just a fool from beginning to end, with a look on his face. innocent.

"I hear it sounds a bit like German... Do you want to try German?" Zheng Qing looked at the witch with admiration, while trying to dig out the slightest bit of cultural accumulation in his mind to make himself less ignorant: "I Remember Charles V of Habsburg who said that he spoke Spanish to God, Latin to wizards, Italian to his mistress, and German to his horses..."

Jiang Yu was still a little hesitant.

Then I heard a slightly stiff voice correct: "It's not German, it's High Dutch... but it's just the pronunciation that is somewhat similar. In terms of elegance and semantic richness, Houyhnhnm's language far exceeds those of the barbarians."

The two young wizards looked at the little brown horse who suddenly spoke and were in a daze.

"You speak our words?"

Zheng Qing asked tentatively, and at the same time speculated that the other party was so sensitive to the difference between 'German' and 'High Dutch', probably because he wanted to distinguish the difference between Houyhnhnms and horses.

"Hey, how fresh!"

Xiao Maju pronounced the word '嘁' in a clear and condescending tone: "Isn't it the most basic courtesy among intelligent beings to master several common languages? You can ignore the guests' language rudely, but we can't. Wouldn’t be rude at the master’s ball.”

As soon as these words came out, the two young wizards darkened their faces.

Zheng Qing felt that Jiang Yu's use of 'proud and sensitive' to describe Hui Hui was too euphemistic.
