"This sounds like a joke." Zheng Qing expressed deep doubts about the doctor's 'rumor'.
"Life is originally a combination of countless jokes." Xiao Xiao shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
Jiang Yu interrupted the dispute between the two.
"If I remember correctly," she expressed her point of view cautiously: "The original sentence that the doctor just mentioned should come from a certain poem in Apennines, 'In the world, there is only time, and beauty and wine cannot be let down.
'Bar."
Zheng Qing smiled and patted Xiao Xiao on the shoulder.
The little wizard shook his shoulders and shook off the young public student's paw.
"It's not me who said it," he said nonchalantly: "Even if I borrow the words of the Speaker, I just paraphrased them for you."
During the chat, the speed of the pumpkin car slowly decreased.
Zheng Qing leaned his head and looked out the window.
The car had already driven into a group of gray buildings. It was surrounded by tall columns, ancient pointed roofs, criss-crossing plank roads between small buildings, as well as smoke-belching chimneys and cobblestone alleys. Talking with Usa
Like other places, in this gray building complex, you can hear the meows and comfortable purrs of cats greeting each other everywhere.
The pumpkin cart stopped at the entrance of the museum.
Several guests got out of the car, and the tabby cat gave the witch a friendly tug on the brim of his hat, then flicked his whip, urging the ancestors to start their journey again. It seemed that it didn't like the atmosphere here.
The noise made the originally noisy meowing cats around him quiet for a while. Zheng Qing noticed the spying amber eyes in the shadows, and his curiosity brought a bit of exploration and vigilance.
He couldn't help but smile, his tail slipped out from under his robe, and he waved in a friendly manner.
There were suddenly more cats watching them, and their eyes were eager to try. There were even a few bold kittens that had slipped out of the shadows and were not far away from the young wizard, staring at the black tail.
Pacing back and forth carefully.
Jiang Yu bent down, holding a handful of dried fish in his hand, and the small white ears in his dark hair were trembling slightly, trying to express goodwill to the master of the city.
The kittens seemed quite moved, but they were always patrolling and refused to come near.
"They recognize life."
A sharp and harsh noise, like the opening and closing of a rusty door, sounded inside the museum gate and reached the ears of several young wizards, causing those who heard it to shiver.
Zheng Qing followed the sound and found that the person speaking was a cat.
An old cat that looks very old and has no hair on its body. It has a pair of large eyes with dark pupils. The eyeballs occupy almost a quarter of the face, which looks very strange. Its skin is pale.
The skin is covered with wrinkles and scars of varying depths, and he is holding a dead stick in his hand - it looks quite like the shape of an old mark.
Old and scary, this is the first impression that comes to the mind of the young public-funded student.
The old cat was leaning on a cane, moving slowly, and finally stood behind the threshold of the museum, stopped, and looked at several strange wizards. His eyes stayed on Zheng Qing's tail and Jiang Yu's ears for a moment, and finally
Move away? It continued in its extremely unpleasant voice: "...is something wrong?"
"We are students of the First University and have made an appointment with the Grand Elder Atal of the temple." Xiao Xiao politely handed over a post with the imprints of several young wizards branded with the college emblem.
As the most powerful center of power in the wizarding world? The First University has a high reputation among many forces in many worlds. The same is true for Dreamland.
"First University... It's been a long time since a wizard over there came." The old cat squinted his eyes slightly - which made the proportions of his facial features more coordinated and his face less scary - and he looked at the post carefully.
The school emblem, the college emblem and the mark finally nodded and said in its ugly voice:
"Then you come in... follow me carefully? Don't move around casually."
Similar to the museum of Daiichi University? The space in this museum also looks empty and tall. Exhibits of various shapes are placed in glass cabinets, silent in the faint white light. It is completely different from those in the museum of Daiichi University.
The noise of the exhibits.
Of course, it is also possible that they have become a little more well-behaved because there are outsiders now.
There were no visitors in the museum. But when Zheng Qing and his party passed through the third gate, a gray short-haired cat came out of the corner. It held a brown outline creature in its mouth - that little thing was
A last ditch effort to survive.
Seeing the old cat, the gray cat immediately fell on the floor and let go of Zu Ge.
Zu Ge was overjoyed and had no time to pat his chest. He just wanted to run to a safe place. However, the old hairless cat had sharp eyes and sharp claws. The withered staff in its claws quickly pierced Zu Ge's neck.
Go up and nail it in place.
"Don't let your prey escape."
The old cat nodded slightly at the gray cat and warned in a hoarse voice, and then continued to walk forward, muttering in a low voice: "These dirty, sneaky guys... are useless... a waste."
Precious space…”
Zheng Qing was a little unsure whether it was cursing those ancestors or whether it was dissatisfied with the gray cat.
The temple is located at the deepest part of the museum.
There was a spacious hall located there - Zheng Qing speculated that this hall should belong to a tall tower.
The reason why I use 'should' is because Zheng Qing did not see the appearance of this building. But inside, he could see the circular hall, the high dome, and the wooden stairs surrounding it.
, there are green vines climbing on the ladder.
Atal, the great elder of the temple, sat behind an ivory-colored desk at the end of the hall on the first floor.
It is said that when the great elder was very young, his family ran an inn. The little boy who once prayed to the unknown existence under the moon lived in the inn of Atal's family at that time; later, Atal also stayed in the inn at dusk.
At that time, he saw all the cats of Ursa gathered under the tree of the cursed couple's house, forming a circle around the broken house in two columns, pacing slowly and solemnly, as if they were performing some unheard-of act.
animal rituals.
Of course, that was all a long, long time ago.
This old man is now almost four hundred years old.
But he still has clear eyes, sharp thinking and clear memory.
Xiao Xiao hopes to get enough guidance from this old man who is familiar with fantasy dream situations and has a good relationship with First University. At the very least, it will give them a clear understanding of the challenges they are about to face - if the old man happens to have seen
Zhu Si, or knowing the whereabouts of a certain faceless demon, that would be even better.
When the young wizards followed the old cat to the ivory lecture table, Master Atal was staring at a rapidly spinning top on the table in trance.
