Today is Saturday. Zheng Qing originally planned to go to D&K, which is about to open, with the other hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team after finishing morning classes to continue their tidying up work. However, due to the boring chat in the dormitory during breakfast,
The young public-funded student finally decided to slightly modify his itinerary.
He decided to take the elves to the 'Institute of Abnormal Life' first and ask Dr. Duzem for a routine checkup. In his opinion, no matter whether the medicine the doctor had prepared was about to expire, as long as the elves'
If the test results are still normal, then there is still room for improvement.
Although it is the busiest commercial street outside the school, since it is Saturday morning, most of the students who have been busy for a week are still sleeping soundly in their dormitories to make up for the energy they have lost in the past five days - especially it is still winter.
It was freezing cold outside, with the north wind howling, but inside the house it was as warm as spring, and the atmosphere was soothing. Whether to wrap oneself up in bed and play chess with Duke Zhou, or to exile oneself and shiver in the cold wind, this was a question that did not require a choice.
So when Zheng Qing was walking on the pedestrian street holding the paper houses of the elves, he looked around and saw very few figures in his sight. Even if there were individual students passing by, they were walking in a hurry, lowering their heads and covering their ears. Except for a pair of eyes,
I wish I could cover every inch of exposed skin with thick fur.
Because he had a low-quality thermal charm hanging on his body, the clothes Zheng Qing wore were not that thick. He still wore the robe of Jiuyou Academy, but added a dark red woolen scarf around his neck.
This scarf was a Thanksgiving gift given to him by the elves - in fact, every wizard in the 403 dormitory received a gift from the elves, but they gave Zheng Qing a scarf and gave it to Xin.
The fat man received a pair of woolen gloves, Xiao Xiao received woolen sleeves, and Mr. Vampire Werewolf received a woolen hat.
When they first received this gift, all the wizards in dormitory 403, including Xiao Xiao, were shocked, especially Zheng Qing. Even though he had always believed that the elves were truly intelligent beings, and was deeply concerned about them.
Actively defending, but only considering this issue from the perspective of logical behavior and equal morality - the longer he stayed in school, the less confident he was about his original stubbornness - Xiao Xiao's evaluation of this was, 'You are a bit pointless.
I don’t know the difference between compassion and reason anymore’.
However, the gift he received on Thanksgiving Day re-injected motivation into Zheng Qing's efforts in a sense. He no longer believed that he was just working for a group of 'AI', but firmly believed that the elves all have souls.
, a life equal to that of wizards.
From that day on, when Zheng Qing once again mentioned topics related to elves, the other young wizards in dormitory 403 no longer held a wait-and-see and mocking attitude. They also began to think seriously and make suggestions for the identities of the elves.
.
Of course, for now, the most important thing of all is to ensure that the group of elves taking a nap in Zheng Qing's arms can survive this winter safely and healthily.
The paper house in Zheng Qing's arms is no longer as crude as it was when the witches of Astronomy Class 08-1 first brought it to them.
The four walls of the paper house are covered with various charms for heat preservation, wind protection, and noise reduction. In order to ensure that these little ones are comfortable in the house, the young government-funded student spends half an hour every night to post up the paper house.
New talismans.
Inside the paper house, there are the four-poster beds that Fatty Xin carved for them out of mahogany, the copper components that Xiao Xiao used to reinforce the house, and several small bonsai ornaments, as well as Dylan. It is said that he used one of his cousins'
The toys were dismantled and a dressing table with a half-length mirror was added for the elves.
There are many changes, and the young wizards all hope that the elf can stay in this room happily.
The Abnormal Life Research Institute is located deep in a narrow old alley in the east area of Beta Town. This is one of the oldest settlements in Beta Town, so the houses Zheng Qing saw along the way seemed a bit shabby.
The same feeling as when I came here in summer and autumn, this alley is still so quiet and deep, like a dying old man, nothing can arouse his curiosity and restlessness.
But unlike the scenery in summer and autumn, in winter in the alley, there is no green moss in the corners of the walls, no shaking tentacles of the rat woman in the stone crevices, and no lush branches and leaves of the ivy on the top of the wall, as well as the looming and wide-eyed among the branches and leaves.
The grass sperms are watching with vigilant eyes for the movements of the visitors.
Some are just a bare, blue-grey, cold stone world.
The iron door of the research institute was not closed, but only ajar. Through the crack in the door, two familiar voices could be heard faintly from the yard.
"...You can't use this kind of magic potion so casually, it's illegal." Dr. Duzem's tone seemed a little urgent, and his voice was full of uneasiness: "Besides, how could you use it so fast?
It’s not magic at all…”
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Another witch comforted in a nonchalant tone: "I'm not a child, I know what's going on... I just did a few small experiments."
"...No matter what, I will only provide you with a single potion for one person every week." Dr. Duzem did not seem to be moved by the witch's comforting words, and said very firmly: "If you are willing to provide me with
If you need a more detailed usage report, then I agree to develop a more appropriate medication plan for you..."
"One share is for one person, and one share is barely enough for one person." The witch interrupted Dr. Duzem and happily agreed: "That's it! Of course, there is no usage report... You won't give it to me at home.
Make a report!"
In the last sentence, her voice rose slightly, and there was a hint of warning in her tone.
Dr. Duzem did not answer, but remained silent.
At this moment, a slightly older voice broke the awkward atmosphere.
"Miss Jiang, Master, we have a new guest... It is winter now. It is very rude to let Master Zheng Qing blow the cold wind outside the house alone."
Hearing this, Zheng Qing's heart skipped a beat. Just as he took a step back, the big black iron door in front of him opened completely with a creak.
At the end of the hall, Jiang Yu, who was wearing a red velvet shawl and a long skirt, was looking out in surprise. Dr. Duzem was still wearing the worn black and gray wizard robe, with no tie around his neck as always
.
The person who opened the door was Dr. Duzem's old servant, Constantine.
"Good morning, Master Zheng Qing." The old servant greeted the young wizard very politely, and at the same time bowed slightly: "Please come inside... You came at the right time. The young master just planned to send Miss Jiang out."
