"Well, if you plan to hold a criticism meeting, in addition to the two things about Parrot and Qingqiu Guild Hall, I suggest adding one more thing." Jiang Yu, who was originally standing on one side, suddenly bent his fingers, knocked on the counter, and pushed Xiao
The great doctor was awakened from his heart.
Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at the witch blankly.
Monitor Jiang lowered his finger and tapped his foot: "It seems that our public-funded student not only sent invitations to the parrot this time... there are new customers in the store."
Xiao Xiao was stunned for a few seconds, and then suddenly realized.
"Are they the mice in clothes? They are not new guests. They have been here before you came... It's just that after finishing the front station, they all went back, saying they had received some news."
Dr. Xiao Da patted his head, stood up, and explained: "Because I was busy just now, I forgot to tell you about this."
"A mouse in clothes?" Jiang Yu raised her eyebrows, obviously not sure what Dr. Xiao was mumbling.
After Xiao Xiao stood up, he leaned out of the counter, glanced down, and immediately closed his mouth.
What squatted at the feet of the witch were not the mice in clothes he thought they were, but a group of cats.
Big cats, kittens, tortoiseshell, calico, long-haired, short-tailed, etc., there are all kinds of cats, dozens of them, lined up in a row, squatting neatly at the feet of the witch, in front of the counter, with their heads raised,
She looked up with her big round eyes. The restless little witch Li Meng had already given up on being a caged rat. The people around her squatted down happily and even petted the cat.
The leading cat was very familiar to Xiao Xiao. It was the ragdoll cat that often followed the black cat. However, compared with before, this ragdoll cat seemed to be a little bigger, with a shoulder height of more than a foot.
"Hey, you've grown up?!" The wizard's brain twitched and he said something incomprehensible. Under the counter, the ragdoll cat seemed to have caught the hidden meaning behind the wizard's words, and whimpered a few times in its throat.
"What?" Jiang Yu didn't hear clearly what Xiao Xiao just said - or rather heard clearly, but didn't understand - so she couldn't help but ask: "Do you know these cats?"
As she spoke, the witch leaned out and looked outside the store, worried but hoping to see a black cat.
After the group of cats appeared, the witch immediately confirmed that these cats came from the group of cats in the forest near the lakeside of the school. Not long ago, the little white cat transformed by the witch followed the group of cats and rested together in a big tree for a long time.
Correspondingly, the leader of this group of cats, the black cat who could grow and shrink and also protected her, made the witch a little worried.
It's just that this kind of thing is not enough for outsiders to understand.
Similar to her, Xiao Xiao did not want the witches to know their relationship with the cats - to admit that they were familiar with each other, they naturally needed to explain the reason. It was necessary to mention a certain black cat and explain the story of the wizard turning into a cat, and this story
It's not suitable for many people to know - therefore, a thousand words can only be said in silence. If you say more, you may make mistakes, but if you don't say it, there will be no problem.
So, the wizard laughed aloud, brushing off Jiang Yu's doubts, and said vaguely: "It looks familiar... It should be the group of cats in the academy. You can often see them wandering around the lake. They come here anyway."
Where is it?"
"I must have received your invitation," although she used a guessing tone, the witch's tone seemed very certain. After all, she had already seen a group of bird guests before, and a few more cat guests didn't seem so unacceptable.
"How can a cat understand the words written on the invitation?" Li Meng, who was petting the cat, suddenly raised his head and asked curiously.
"Parrots can understand it, so cats can understand it too...isn't it strange?" Jiang Yu replied with a smile.
How strange!
Xiao Xiao rubbed his forehead and felt that his head was a little swollen - he still clearly remembered that when the hunting team had an affair with the cat before, they spent a lot of energy on painting and meowing, but the effect was very limited.
Could it be that Zheng Qing recently held a night class for these cats to teach them how to read?
Xiao Xiao sighed slightly, suppressed the crude thought of rushing to the backstage of the store and dragging out a certain public student, and said simply and clearly: "Let's ask our captain about this kind of thing later."
Li Meng muttered, lowered his head again, and continued to happily pull up the long hair on the Ragdoll cat.
Jiang Yu also suppressed the doubts in his heart and did not continue to ask, but smiled: "That's right, don't worry about it anymore, just ask Zheng Qing about this kind of thing later... The question now is, how should we entertain these guests?
Woolen cloth?"
"Yeah... I kind of hope that there are still a few parrots coming. Although those parrots have broken beaks, they can at least talk and communicate." Faced with this situation, Xiao Xiao also felt numb.
There was no doubt that the cats were here to congratulate them. While the two wizards were chatting, the cats had already put down their gifts one by one and piled them in front of the counter under the command of the leading ragdoll cat.
The gift is some dried mice, which is very consistent with the cats' understanding of the wizards.
But these gifts seemed very interesting to Jiang Yu.
The witch looked around thoughtfully, at the mice in cages deep in the shop, and then at the ragdoll cat squatting in front of the counter, wagging its tail, and a strange thought emerged in her heart.
idea.
"Wow, are you opening a pet shop?" A sudden voice came from the door of the shop, interrupting the delicate atmosphere flowing between the wizard and the cat.
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to look at the place where the sound came from.
A short, chubby, baby-faced wizard crossed the threshold and walked in casually. He was wearing a large black robe, with three intertwined silver embroidered on his chest.
Small white sword.
Dr. Xiao Da, the acting shopkeeper, immediately turned serious.
He knew the symbol on the robe of the short, fat wizard—or, in other words, any wizard who knew more about this world would be familiar with that symbol.
Because that symbol belongs to a powerful law enforcement agency directly under the jurisdiction of the Wizards Alliance, the Wizards Alliance Investigation Bureau, which is what everyone usually calls the 'three-pronged sword' when joking.
"Hello? How can we help you?" The acting shopkeeper of the shop finally walked out from behind the counter, trotted over and came to the side of the 'three-pronged sword', with a hint of doubt and uneasiness in his tone.
.
The baby-faced 'three-pronged sword' did not make excuses, but simply showed his work ID: "Wizards Union Investigation Bureau, Emergency Response Team, Registered Wizard, Commissioner Andrew."
"We received reports from the masses that fish-men appeared on the pedestrian street and disappeared after entering your store. So we came here to see if there is anything special going on here."
