"Well, before we talk, I need to confirm something first," Su Shijun put down the quill in his hand, crossed his hands, supported his chin, and looked at the wizard in front of him very seriously: "...do you have a meditation charm?"
"Yes? There are a lot of them..." Zheng Qing put his hand into the gray cloth bag in confusion and took out a pile of brand new talisman papers.
This is a standard talisman that he just finished painting not long ago and plans to send it to Wandering Bar for sale. The strokes are smooth and the effect is remarkable. It is no exaggeration to call it a masterpiece.
"Very good." Su Shijun nodded with satisfaction: "This way I don't have to waste my time copying spells..."
As she said that, she closed the Dharma book at hand and hooked her fingers. Four or five talisman papers immediately popped out of the stack of talismans and hung on the government-funded student:
"This next thing may make you feel a little uncomfortable...so just in case, you still need to be more prepared."
"What?" Zheng Qing looked at the talismans that were starting to smoke with distress, and couldn't help complaining: "Is there anything more uncomfortable than having my shadow taken away?"
A rare awkward smile appeared on Su Shijun's face.
"Haven't you been wondering who Neptune's father is?"
"Who?!" Zheng Qing's attention immediately moved away from the smoking talismans, and an expression of expectation appeared on his face involuntarily.
Compared with several talismans, the news mentioned by Miss Su is obviously more concerning.
Big news!
It is definitely a big piece of news that can get a generous reward from the "Beta Town Post" - Zheng Qing has no doubt that if this news is put up for sale in Wandering Bar with a separate price, he will definitely be able to save enough for himself within a month. Four years of living expenses!
Moreover, the expressions of the guys in the dormitory are also very exciting.
At this point in his reverie, Zheng Qing couldn't help but have a silly smile on his face.
He could totally imagine the scene when he showed off this message in the dormitory.
Maybe we can use this to extort a few sumptuous meals from Fatty Xin? No, no, no, just a few meals, that would be too cheap for him...
Before he could complete the plan with drooling eyes, Su Shijun decisively ended his dream.
"If there is no accident, Neptune's father is you." She looked at the public-funded student with a serious expression. Her words were clear and her voice was pleasant, but the words she spoke seemed to be in an alien dialect, which was completely incomprehensible.
To be precise, Zheng Qing understood every word that Su Shijun just said, but when they were put together, he couldn't understand them.
The young government-funded student still had the silly smile on his face that he had just had in his reverie, but now the silly smile had completely frozen on his face - he had not yet realized what a terrible thing the beautiful Su had just said.
In other words, he thought Su Shijun was joking.
"Haha... this joke is very funny!" The public-funded student laughed loudly, his mind racing, trying to understand the humor of what Miss Su just said.
Su Shijun said nothing, crossed his fingers, supported his chin, and frowned, looking at him as if he was curious as to why the wizard could make such an exaggerated laugh when there were so many meditation charms hanging on his body.
Under her gaze, Zheng Qing's laughter finally stopped.
He looked left and right at the empty office, finally poked his head, and in a very funny posture whispered what Miss Su had just said: "You mean... I am... Neptune's father?"
Su Shijun nodded silently.
"Nonsense! Nonsense! What a joke!" The public-sponsored student waved his hands repeatedly, his face turned red, and his voice became louder involuntarily: "How can I have a child?!"
"A virgin?" Beauty Su's eyes flashed, and a smile seemed to appear on her face: "I don't think so."
Before Zheng Qing could refute, she shook her finger and explained calmly: "Perhaps in your understanding, mating between the sexes is the only way to reproduce... It is undeniable that when you can inherit more information and have a wider range of
With rapid reproduction, it is difficult for organisms to have the best of both worlds, and mating is indeed an excellent method."
"But for wizards, mating between the sexes seems a bit backward and inefficient... A skilled wizard can leave his offspring in countless ways. Even with just a drop of blood, a trace of hair, or even a wisp of breath,
It can be a tool for reproduction..."
The story of the two sexes, which is full of charm and hormones, is turned into words like "mating" and "reproduction" in the words of Su Da Councilor, which inevitably gives people the feeling of being a disgrace to the scenery.
Zheng Qing groaned, sat down on the armchair behind him, and said nothing.
Judging from Su Shijun's tone and attitude, he gradually had a bad feeling.
This feeling made his chest feel a little heavy and he was out of breath. For some reason, he felt that his legs were sore and his vision was blurred - as if he had just run a marathon of several thousand meters.
Maybe it's excitement, maybe fear, or both.
Su Shijun stopped talking, frowned, and looked at the smoking talismans on the public-funded students. After a long while, he murmured: "Have the talismans expired? It shouldn't be..."
She was very sure that when she just activated the talisman paper, the incantations flowing on it were very smooth, and they were indeed some excellent meditation talismans.
But looking at the government-sponsored student in front of her who was not at all "pure-hearted", she couldn't help but begin to doubt her previous feelings.
"It's still inevitable to copy the incantation again," Su Shijun sighed slightly, finally opened the Dharma book at hand, and said softly: "Think about it quietly, and you will find it in every corner!"
What she recited was a very advanced meditation spell, which was often used on possessed wizards. It was much more powerful than the combined power of the stack of talismans in Zheng Qing's hand.
As his face slowly turned pale, Zheng Qing's demeanor finally became much calmer.
"Where is Neptune?" He asked with a sad face, asking a key question - if he is Neptune's father, then according to what Su Shijun said at the meeting, her child should always be with his father.
The key is that Zheng Qing, one of the parties involved, did not think that he had raised an additional child.
Su Shijun tilted his head, seeming curious as to why he would ask such a stupid question.
But she was still very patient, letting a strand of hair float by her ear and pointing to the glass cabinet next to her that was filled with white mist.
A certain little fox was sleeping soundly in the white mist.
Zheng Qing's eyes twitched.
He was not really a fool, so when the lock of hair pointed at Poseidon, many images appeared in his mind in an instant.
A pregnant female fox who was taken in in a dark alley after a party...
It looked like a squirrel, and he always thought his eyes were wrong, but in fact there really was a female fox with three tails...
After giving birth to Poseidon, the female fox slipped away quietly...
"So you are the... fox that escaped?!" Zheng Qing opened his mouth, almost swallowing the word 'mother' - he really didn't have the guts to confirm what would happen if an angry great wizard went berserk.
as a result of.
"It's not about running away, it's about leaving." Su Shijun corrected with a straight face: "As a member of the Yuexia Parliament, I am very busy... During that time, I have to participate in the evaluation of the Grand Wizard Council, and I have to visit from time to time.
The school is preparing to take over this laboratory...it is already very difficult to be able to accompany you for such a long time."
"But, when I met you... I was already pregnant?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but glance at the witch's abdomen, and cautiously reminded her.
"No." Su Shijun's face turned slightly red, but he still firmly denied it: "At that time, I was just ready to leave my bloodline... I only had a little seed left."
Zheng Qing was speechless and shook his head vigorously, trying to get rid of all kinds of terrible thoughts.
"It is, I mean, it is Poseidon, not Neptune!" The young public-funded student pointed at the little fox in the glass cabinet and stammered to change the topic, completely ignoring how his question sounded.
stupid.
"The Greek gods and Roman gods have the same origin. The Greek name of Poseidon is Poseidon, and the Latin name is Neptune... I thought you knew this little bit of common sense." As she spoke, Beauty Su looked a little disappointed.
"Of course I know this kind of common sense!" Zheng Qing's face began to turn red again: "But there are so many people with the same name and surname in the world, who would be so narcissistic!"
"In Su Ya's words, this is not narcissism, this is self-confidence." Su Shijun corrected.
"Normal people would not have this kind of confidence...and who would use the words of their own maid to explain it." Zheng Qing supported the armrests of the chair and tried to stand up, but his legs were still weak.
So he quickly gave up this plan.
After a moment of silence, he finally raised his head and looked at Su Shijun seriously: "I need an explanation."
Su Shijun sighed slightly:
"When every wizard advances to become a great wizard, he needs to purify himself from the inside out - including spirit, body, blood, etc."
"Poseidon is the witch fetus condensed from part of my bloodline that I gave up... From an ethical point of view, it is indeed a part of flesh and blood that fell from my body. There is nothing wrong with calling it my child...
But from a Taoist perspective, it's just an incarnation of me."
"To use a very classic saying: Poseidon is me... but I am not Poseidon."
When Zheng Qing heard this, he couldn't help but exhale heavily - but he didn't know whether it was a sigh of disappointment or a sigh of relief after being relieved of a heavy burden.
"No wonder I always feel that this little thing... I mean, Poseidon, is too smart." After Zheng Qing relaxed, he was a little puzzled: "But... why did you choose me?"
"My divination magic told me so."
"You believe in magic too much!"
"Wizards don't believe in magic, so why should they believe in gods?"
The corners of Zheng Qing's mouth twitched and he was speechless.
Then he remembered another strange place.
"If you are that fox...where is the big eagle that hunts you?" Zheng Qing scratched his hair and felt that his head was a little swollen: "I remember that the big eagle was very fierce back then! It could hurt you.
At that point, you shouldn't show mercy to me, a little wizard..."
"Oh, that's right." Beauty Su blew a strand of long hair in front of her eyes and explained nonchalantly: "I'm very familiar with Thomas. He happened to be in Pingyang on business at that time, so I invited him to act in a play.
"
"In other words, I was the only one who kept the whole thing in the dark?" Zheng Qing said a little bitterly.
"Poseidon doesn't know either." Su Shijun smiled slightly.
