"Sorry, because there are new people who want to join the club, Sister Kolma is doing the evaluation, you may need to wait for a few minutes." The girl who led the way led the three wizards up to the second floor. When they stood in the foyer,
Explained this way.
The foyer is small and boxy, with a tall wooden door on the front and two pieces of stained glass embedded in the door. There is no hanging statue of the door god that Zheng Qing often sees. On the left side of the foyer is a wooden wall with a row of flowers in the corner.
There are clumps of blooming white Hibiscus flowers planted in the pot; the right side of the foyer leads to a narrow corridor, there are no lights installed in the corridor, and you can vaguely see several house numbers hanging in the air, just like the layout of the office building in the school
.
The girl leading the way gently opened the wooden door in front and motioned for the wizards to enter.
Behind the door is a rather spacious hall with a small stage, bar, tables and chairs. It looks more like a closed bar than a club.
The curtain of the small stage was half-closed, the lights were not turned on, and it looked dark.
Below the stage, a piano was placed in the center of the open space. There were more than a dozen figures in gray robes sparsely surrounding the piano, and intermittent and soft piano music came from inside.
The lights in the room were a little dim, and the only group of light bugs gathered above the piano, which made the wizards who had just come in from outside very uncomfortable.
"Would you like anything?" The girl led several wizards to the bar and looked at them eagerly.
Fatty Xin coughed softly: "Well, is there any amber light?"
"Wait a minute!" The girl quickly took out a dirty glass bottle from the back. Through the dim light in the room, Zheng Qing could vaguely see the viscous amber liquid in the bottle.
Soon, half a glass of amber light was placed in front of Fatty Xin. Two square ice cubes in the glass filled up the originally small amount of wine.
"Chenghui, a golden bean." The girl smiled happily and pushed the cup in front of the fat man.
Fatty Xin's face suddenly turned a little pale.
"Oh," he forced a laugh and asked in a low voice: "This is not a treat for us to drink."
"This is so new." The girl puffed up her mouth, showing a trace of displeasure: "This is a club, not a charity hall... Do you want money to drink in a roadside bar?"
Fatty Xin nodded blankly.
"As it should be." The girl smiled with satisfaction and turned to look at the other two men: "What do you two want?"
Zheng Qing didn't look at the fat man's gray face. He suppressed a smile and said, "Just a cup of Green Bee, no ice."
"Chenghui, one silver corner and three copper coins." The girl quickly pushed Zheng Qing's drink in front of him. It could be seen that the drink without ice was indeed slightly less than the drink with ice.
"Cold water will be fine, thank you." Compared to his two companions, Xiao Xiao's drink was more conservative. But even so, it didn't eliminate the chance of paying.
"One copper." The girl quickly quoted the price of a glass of cold water, and delivered the cold water to Xiao Xiao faster than the first two drinks. At the same time, she enthusiastically reminded several wizards: "Would you like some?"
A plate of peanuts? It only costs three copper coins, and it will taste better if you eat it with it."
Zheng Qing quickly stopped her sales.
He bet that if they asked for peanuts, there would be puffs, jujube cakes, macarons and other snacks waiting for them. Most of the time, money was spent unknowingly like this.
"Where is Miss Gini?" The young public-funded student tried to remind the girls of their purpose here: "How long do we have to wait?"
"Oh, it won't take long." The girl stood on tiptoes, looked in the direction of the piano, and pointed: "The one sitting next to the piano is the eldest sister... She is a very powerful wizard.
The First University is very famous, don’t you know her?”
Zheng Qing was taken aback.
"She is a wizard?" His tone was a little surprised, but then he apologized: "Sorry, I mean, I thought the person who hired us was a magician."
"This is so new." The girl raised her voice and repeated the mantra, and her tone became a little harsh: "How can magicians have credits to pay you? The credits for hiring you are all the hard-earned savings of Sister Kolma...
Don’t you really want some dried fruits or snacks?”
Xiao Xiao politely but firmly refused the girl’s further sales pitch.
In the distance, there was a slight commotion in the crowd around the piano. A boy squeezed out of the crowd dejectedly and walked out of the club. It seemed that he had failed the so-called 'evaluation' link.
Zheng Qing didn't pay attention to the boy who left. His eyes were attracted by the gap that had just been opened in the circle of people.
To be precise, he finally saw their employer today through the brief chaos just now.
"Senior Colma?!" The young public-funded student stood up suddenly, his tone seemed a little unbelievable - at the first sight of the witch sitting next to the piano, Zheng Qing finally knew that she had been pestering him not long ago.
Where did that familiar feeling come from?
The employer Xiao Xiao was looking for, the so-called French aristocrat of Italian descent, was the vice-president of the First University Student Union, and the senior Colma who had pushed him behind his back twice!
This is definitely worth it for Xiao Xiao.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qing immediately looked back at Watermelon Head and glared angrily.
Xiao Xiao's gaze immediately disappeared, and he quickly squinted at the ceiling of the room, pursing his lips and whistling silently, turning a blind eye to the sharp eyes next to him, looking like he had nothing to lose.
"Let me tell you, you must know her." The girl behind the bar noticed Zheng Qing's performance and immediately became happy, as if she was honored: "My eldest sister is the president of the student union of First University...
"
Zheng Qing had a gloomy face, stared at Xiao Xiao, and shouted in a low voice: "Did you do this on purpose?!"
Xiao Xiao quietly leaned towards Fatty Xin and shrugged: "This is the first time I have accepted this kind of commission. I think it might be more reliable to find an acquaintance... I have been staring at that bulletin board for many days.
, there are only two who are acquaintances, apart from her, the other one is Serprano... No matter from any angle, I think Colma is better than that gloomy fat man."
"Acquaintance? Fatty?" Xin finally recovered from the heartache after buying the high-priced cup of amber light. He captured the words Xiao Xiao just mentioned: "What acquaintance? Which fatty?"
"Sister Kolma from the First University Student Union, our employer this time." Xiao Xiao reminded from the side.
"Oh!" Fatty Xin looked stunned: "It's the third or fourth boat under Brother Qing's feet, right! I've investigated her... Why, she is our employer? This is a good thing...
...Brother Qing, can you ask my senior sister to give us a free meal?"
Zheng Qing resisted and did not splash the green bee in the cup onto the faces of the two soulless men opposite.
