Chapter 214 Chasing Flowers

Arthur Ness walked into the newsroom of First University's newspaper carrying a buckskin paper bag.

He was wearing Alpha's white robe, with a silver watch chain hanging on his chest. His hair was very shiny, his expression was indifferent, and his attitude was distant. He seemed to be in two different worlds from the heated atmosphere in the editing room.

Fatty Xin noticed him at a glance.

Not only because Arthur Ness's temperament was inconsistent with the editorial department, but more importantly, Arthur Ness had direct conflicts with Zheng Qing twice, and during the second conflict, Fatty Xin was present.

If Fox Five Hank hadn't shouted that voice, the fat man doubted that he would have exploded on the spot, raised his fist and smashed the pretty boy into a little pie.

Therefore, Fatty Xin was very impressed by Arthur Ness.

"What do you want?" A red-robed clerk in the newsroom quickly noticed the uninvited guest.

"I'll hand in the manuscript." Arthur Ness looked calm.

"Submit the manuscript?" The clerk was obviously a little confused. He looked back at the busy people behind him, paused for a moment and then replied: "Okay... then leave the manuscript to me."

Normally, few authors come to the editorial office to submit manuscripts in person. Especially the school newspaper. Most manuscripts are collected by monitors or club leaders at class meetings and then submitted to the editorial office, where the best ones are selected for publication.

Many students at First University don’t even know where the editorial office of the school newspaper is.

Looking at the outstretched hand of the red-robed officer, Arthur Ness did not hand over the deerskin paper bag in his hand. Instead, he looked around and looked at it carefully. After a long while, he said, "Who is your person in charge?"

The red-robed officer suddenly looked a little confused.

Fatty Xin lowered his head and almost laughed. Although the atmosphere in the school between Alpha and Jiuyou is a bit tense, in an institution like the editorial department of the school newspaper, which is a mixture of four-color academic robes, harmony and stability are still very important.

In particular, the school newspaper's mainstream reporting has always been muddled. On topics involving internal conflicts within the college, it remains resolutely neutral and unbiased, and strives to discuss the matter as it is, lest its own editorial office be attacked by those irritable students before it is attacked. The department's irritable reporters and editors smashed it to pieces.

I know the red-robed wizard Fatty Xin who spoke to him. He is also a first-year student. He usually calls himself "just" and likes to criticize Jiuyou Academy before commenting on Alpha. He is much more amiable to Alpha than to Jiuyou students. Fatty Xin thought about it privately and always suspected that this colleague was a student of Alpha Academy in his previous life.

At this moment, seeing him being ignored by Arthur Ness, there was always an indescribable feeling of pleasure.

Another man in white robes in the editing room immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice slightly: "Arthur? What are you doing here?"

They seemed to know each other.

Seeing that nothing happened to him, the red-robed officer walked away angrily.

"I'll submit the manuscript." Regarding the same white robe, Arthur Ness's expression finally seemed a little kinder: "It's a manuscript that Mr. Serprano has reviewed...ask me to help deliver it."

Baipao's originally somewhat contemptuous expression immediately became serious.

"Selprano... Your Excellency?" He took the deerskin paper bag in surprise, looked at Arthur Ness, hesitated for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "Does Sir know about this?"

This is the ultimate purpose of Arthur Ness's visit to the editorial office.

He needs to let others know that he is still Sir Friedman's man. This manuscript has nothing to do with "party strife" and is the "great cause" of the college.

"I know." Arthur Ness first confirmed the other party's question, and then added: "Your Excellency Serprano is the vice president of the Alpha College Student Union and has the right to arrange for any student to do what they need to do."

This answer is quite satisfactory.

The white robe understood clearly and weighed the paper bag in his hand: "What aspect is the manuscript about? Can it be revised? When will it be published in the newspaper?"

"The manuscript mainly analyzes some recent cases inside and outside the school to support some knowledgeable people in Jiuyou College. As editors, of course you have the right to make appropriate modifications to the manuscript. But we hope that the purpose of the manuscript will not change. As for the publication time... Arthur glanced at the paper bag and said succinctly: "The sooner the better."

The white robe showed a hint of toothache.

What Arthur Ness said sounded like trouble.

…

…

Zheng Qing followed a golden horned wasp and carefully spied on it.

This is the thirteenth bee he has tracked. After flying for a long time, the twelve bees in front found a flower and dropped it to collect honey. They didn't look like they would get lost.

Hoping that this bee could bring him a little surprise, the wizard sighed secretly in his heart. I thought this job was easy, but unexpectedly it was so grueling. I ran back and forth between the fields and ridges countless times, but I could never find the whereabouts of the missing bees.

The noteboard in his arms was still blank. Zheng Qing felt that when others saw him, he always felt like he was cheating. But the conscience of heaven and earth, he really followed from beginning to end and was not lazy at all.

Looking up at several classmates who were squatting in the field cleaning smelly thorns in the distance, the boy felt a little envious. He also hoped that he was not empty-handed and looked like he had done something.

While he was thinking wildly, the golden horned bee flying not far in front of him suddenly disappeared.

Zheng Qing was stunned for a few seconds, wiped his eyes, and then looked down at a wooden charm on the noteboard. The red dot on the talisman used to mark the location of the bee has disappeared without a trace.

"Gone?!" the boy yelled, his voice full of disbelief: "He just disappeared!"

The 'temporary school workers' working nearby straightened up and looked at him curiously.

While talking, Zheng Qing took a few steps and rushed to the place where the horned bee disappeared. It was a rolling mist several meters in radius. He scratched a few times along the place where the bee disappeared. He didn't catch the bee, but he caught a small green-yellow flower.

Soon, Professor Li rushed to the scene of the incident.

"This is a field of Penglai bananas, planted in a mist that simulates summer. It is not the season for them to sprout and bloom, and the fog is not thick; the lightning reed on one side and the platycodon on the other side are not either. "Flower season."

"The golden horned bee is docile, hates cold weather, avoids light, and likes water, so it's not surprising that it flies into this fog."

"The strange thing is that I found such a flower in the place where the golden horned bee disappeared." Zheng Qing followed Professor Li step by step. While introducing his discovery to him, he honestly handed over the green and yellow flower. Alternate flowers.

It is said to be a small flower, but it is about the size of a cat's paw. The petals are heavy and wrap around the stamens. It is obviously a flower that has not yet opened.

Professor Li glanced at the flower and suddenly changed color.
