Chapter 185 The Commissioner of the Three-Pronged Sword

"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 asked Xiao Da The Doctor stirred from his heartache.

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 parrots 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 dozens of them, lined up in a row, squatting neatly at the feet of the witch and in front of the counter, with their heads raised, Look up with big round eyes. The little witch Li Meng, who was naturally active, had already given up on the rats in the cage and the people around her, and happily squatted down 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. But compared with before, this ragdoll cat seems to be a little bigger, with a shoulder height of more than a foot.

"Hey, you've grown up?!" The wizard's mind twitched and he said something incomprehensible. Under the counter, the ragdoll cat seemed to have captured the hidden meaning behind the wizard's words, purring 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 forward and looked outside the store a few times, worried but hoping to see a black cat.

After the cat group appeared, the witch immediately confirmed that these cats came from the cat group in the lakeside forest of the academy. Not long ago, the little white cat transformed into a witch followed the group of cats and rested for a long time in a big tree. Correspondingly, the leader of the 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.

Similar to her, Xiao Xiao didn't want the witches to know their relationship with the cats - admitting the familiarity naturally required explaining the reason, mentioning a certain black cat, and explaining 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, it will be fine.

So, the wizard laughed, passed Jiang Yu's doubts, and said vaguely: "It looks familiar... It should be the group of cats in the academy. They can often be seen wandering around the lake. Why don't they come here?" Where is it?”

"I must have received your invitation," although she used a guessing tone, the witch's tone sounded very certain. After all, we had already seen a group of bird guests before, so 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, and 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 idea 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.

The cats were here to congratulate him, there was no doubt about that. While the two wizards were chatting, the cats, under the command of the leading ragdoll cat, had put down their gifts one by one and piled them in front of the counter.

The gift was some dried mice, which fit perfectly with what the cats knew about 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 his head to look at the place where the sound came from.

A short, chubby, baby-faced wizard crossed the threshold and was walking inwardly. He was wearing a large black robe, with three intertwined silver-white swords embroidered on his chest.

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? Is there anything we can help you with?" The shop's acting shopkeeper finally walked out from behind the counter, trotted over, and came to the side of the 'Three-Pronged Sword', with a hint of confusion 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 happening here."
