The crackling sound of joints echoed in this small tavern.

The air seemed to be burning, exuding a scorching breath, and the fireflies clinging to the ceiling curled up with all their strength, with their bellies folded, refusing to let out any light.

But that didn't make the room any gloomier.

Because at the same time as the bugs turned off the flames, the magic torches that had been inserted on the four walls of the tavern burned up, replacing the glowing fruits and bugs, and instead illuminated the room brighter.

In the center shrouded in flames, Varys, who was originally chubby and smiling, like a Maitreya Buddha, has changed his appearance. His figure nearly doubled in height amidst the brittle sound of his joints, his head almost pierced into the ceiling, and the chapped skin due to the rapid change in body shape turned into pieces of hard armor with **** luster, and blood flowed through the cracks in the hard armor , like streams of hot magma, on the originally bald head, slender white tentacles fluttered, like a pile of bright silver long hair.

It's a pity that Mr. Varys doesn't seem to have any interest in letting everyone appreciate his transformed appearance.

boom!

Accompanied by a gust of wind, Varys, who was almost a dwarf, smashed through the wall of the Sakura Tavern and fled wildly. Although he didn't retain much sanity now, out of the awe of the wizards in the North and the instincts derived from creatures, he was frantically warning him how terrible the witch standing in the stairwell was.

"Damn it!"

Zheng Qing cursed in a low voice, his eyes swept over the other people restrained by his companions, and he made a decisive decision: "Excuse me, target Varys! Bofu's battle formation is ready!"

With a twist of the long sword in Lan Que's hand, he stepped a little, and his figure was already floating outwards. Dylan was faster than him, and disappeared from everyone's sight like a phantom.

Then Xin, Zheng Qing, and Xiao Xiao, the five hunters rushed out of the tavern like a hurricane following the gust of wind. The whole process took the blink of an eye, and some of the guests who were huddled in the corner hadn't even recovered their senses.

"It's really... I don't care about other people's property at all."

Standing in the stairwell, the Great Wizard of the North District sighed heavily, and looked at the wall of his home that was smashed with some heartache: "... I wonder if the Three-pronged Sword can give me some compensation."

"The Great Sage."

The North Witch who had just handed over the materials lowered her head slightly, and reported in a fast but orderly manner: "Patrol teams 1, 2, and 7 are performing tasks in the Silent Forest. Teams 3 and 5 are patrolling other blocks in Beta Town. Team 4 , Team Six, and Team Eight are on vacation, only the newly formed Team Nine..."

"enough."

With a wave of Korma's sleeve, the figure disappeared, leaving only the reverberation of birds and birds echoing in place: "Let the ninth team exercise. By the way, give the frightened guests a coupon and send them to leave through the side door."

Zheng Qing didn't know that the Forgiveness Hunting Team lost a few coupons because they ran too fast.

He was in consternation with several other companions.

After rushing out of the tavern, Zheng Qing didn't see Varys smashing through the fence of the courtyard wall and following Tao Zhiyao's back on Gujiao Street, but instead saw a group of about ten wizards from the North District waving their respective Dharma books, A series of spells were released, besieging Varys in the small garden outside the tavern.

No, it is not appropriate to call this garden a 'little garden' at this moment.

Zheng Qing noticed right away that the garden outside the Cherry Blossom Tavern seemed to have become extraordinarily spacious. Standing in the yard, he felt that the slightly tall cherry blossom trees at the four corners seemed to have turned into four clumps of pink flowers. The shrubs, the courtyard walls, gates, fences, etc. of Gu Wither Street have completely disappeared into the night, leaving only dark shadows behind.

In the night sky, the silver-white light cast by the full moon seemed to have a sense of wisdom. It honestly accumulated in the center of the garden, illuminating the area where the wizards of the North District were fighting. On the contrary, there was not much moonlight in the surrounding areas, which looked extremely gloomy. , which made Zheng Qing inexplicably feel like standing in the audience watching the performance, and a fierce fight was going on on the stage.

"It's not an illusion." Dylan confirmed immediately.

"The grass on the ground is very real." Fatty Xin, who was squatting on the ground, also struggled to stand up, holding a green grass stalk in his mouth, and holding an oilfly kicking randomly in his hand: "The bugs are also real."

He deftly flicked the oilfly far away.

"There is a high probability that it is the guardian circle of the Kini Hut, which has a certain space expansion effect." Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses, his voice was low and hoarse, and his face was a little pale, which was the sequelae of the powerful rescue potion.

Zheng Qing looked at Varys's big head with fluttering white beard not far away, touched the Colt silver python hanging on his waist, and hesitated whether to give him a cold shot - he didn't need to blow his head off, Just break one of his legs and this skirmish will be over quickly.

"Don't meddle, leave it to them."

A familiar voice beside him interrupted the hesitation of the young public fee student briskly. Zheng Qing suddenly looked back and saw Korma standing quietly behind him. Although he was still wearing the long silver-gray dress, he looked like a It is shrouded in shadow, and the light passing through her has a very clear distortion~lightnovelpub.net~It gives people a feeling of being separated by a lens, and the distance is suddenly far and near.

Xu Shi noticed the boy's surprised gaze, and the witch tilted her head slightly: "Sorry, I'm still on the second floor, and I didn't expect such an accident... This is the North District after all, and it's better to leave this kind of matter to the wizards of the North District." suitable."

It was very abrupt, and Zheng Qing felt that her head tilting was very cute, and couldn't help imitating the appearance of another witch or another little white cat tilting its head in his mind.

Then he immediately realized that there was something wrong with this idea, and looked back with a guilty conscience.

"Ahem, no, no problem." The captain of the Forgiveness Hunting Team coughed twice, agreed to the request of the great sage of the North District, but emphasized: "It's just that this Mr. Varys is involved in a black magic case. It will need to be handed over to the Trident Sword later."

"We're fine."

The corners of Kerma's lips curled up, and he happily replied, "It's an honor for the wizards of the North District to assist in the investigation of the Trident Sword... I hope you can emphasize this a little bit in the investigation report afterwards."

Zheng Qing nodded understandingly.

This is an opportunity to expand the influence of the wizards in the North District. It only needs to do some public opinion work after the event, and it will have a positive effect on continuously improving the image of the wizards in the North District.

After nodding, his gaze suddenly froze.

On the edge of the onlookers—not all the guests chose to leave the tavern, and many people, mainly students from the First University, followed up excitedly, watching the sudden battle—on the edge of the onlookers, Zheng Qing watched I saw a figure in a black cloak, his face hidden under the hood, holding a notepad in his arms, holding a quill, as if taking notes.

On his exposed hands he wore the same leather gloves as the number three crow.
