Chapter 189 Illusion
The guardian array of First University is a nested array.
The inner formation is constructed with the walls, fences, etc. of the campus as the boundary; the outer formation is formed with the zigzag coastline of Phuket Island as the boundary. To put it simply, the protection of the inner formation is more detailed and heavily guarded; the outer formation is relatively looser - the reason why His Excellency the Duke chose the public-funded student to 'chat' with him when he walked out of the campus was precisely for this reason.
Although Milton is a bit old, he is still not confused. He will never cause trouble for their students under the noses of a group of old wizards.
As the saying goes, enter the village quietly and don't want to shoot anyone.
The reason why the management of the Outer Front is relatively loose is because in addition to many students studying at First University, Phuket Island also has a large number of businessmen, adventurers, and even diplomats from different civilizations. They cannot be like First University. Like all the students, they stay in the palm-sized campus all year round and immerse themselves in reading.
Therefore, for students studying at First University, there are only a few days in the winter and summer vacations every year when the guardian circle is in full swing. With an invitation or pass, you can conditionally land on or leave this one of the most mysterious islands in the wizarding world.
This is somewhat similar to a tightly guarded school. During class, the school door is locked and only opens during a short period of time after school to allow students to enter and exit. The small door next to the main door, or the existence of the side door, is reserved for visitors entering and exiting the school. According to the formal procedures, every visitor entering and exiting the campus will inevitably be subject to repeated inspections and warnings by the concierge. Some strangers also need to further register personal information.
Milton Cullen was certainly not a stranger to the ‘concierge’ of First University.
This young vampire from the Cullen family also studied at First University a long time ago and devoted himself to studying magic for a while. During that time, he also served as the president of the Blood Club, leaving many legends in the history of the Blood Club.
In addition, in the west area of Beta Town, there is the Karen family's huge Karen Mansion; in the east area of Beta Town, there are many shops, storefronts and other properties of the Karen family.
Not to mention that Duke Milton Cullen is one of the five senators in this session of the Under-Moon Parliament, and the Under-Moon Parliament is the cornerstone of the Wizards Alliance on the same level as the First University - in other words, Duke Milton or Su The status of a beautiful woman is roughly equivalent to that of several deans of the First University.
Therefore, although Duke Milton's visit to Phuket Island slightly attracted the attention of the school's guardian formation, it did not cause much ripples.
…
No. 97 Pedestrian Street, inside the D&K store.
The young shopkeeper was unaware of the approaching threat. Because he was now fully focused on a new guest.
Just a few minutes ago, the gypsy witch appeared at the door of the shop.
At that time, Zheng Qing was chasing a short-haired cat that had stolen a mouse from a cage and was running around. He had just reached the door of the store when a red dress suddenly blocked his head, blocking him. . The spooky short-haired cat took this opportunity to slip away from the side of the red dress, and in the blink of an eye it disappeared without a trace with the mouse in its mouth.
‘Don’t let me turn around and find you among the cats, or you’ll be ready to catch a hundred mice for me! ’ The stingy store manager muttered a few words in his heart, then raised his head and looked at the figure blocking the door.
Then he was immediately dumbfounded.
"Eh?! Here you go?!" The young public-funded student stood up straight at a loss and stood at the door of the store, staring blankly at the gypsy witch.
Elena's arrival made him extremely surprised. But after the surprise, there was an inexplicable feeling of irritation - if you want to talk to me, talk to me, if you don't want to talk to me, don't. Am I just a grass on the roadside?
This time it must not be revealed so easily, the wizard emphasized to himself in his heart.
"What, aren't you welcome?" The Gypsy Witch seemed to have forgotten the awkwardness of the past few days and asked with a smile. At the same time, she raised her arms and pulled back the long wavy hair that fell by her ears.
A fragrant fragrance rushed towards her face with her movements.
Seeing her smiling face, Zheng Qing's pent-up anger disappeared for some reason - just a few seconds ago, he was planning to yell at her and ask why she was treating him like this during this time. Cheer yourself from the bottom of your heart, you must persevere and have some backbone.
But just seeing her smiling face, the young wizard felt that everything seemed to be no big deal.
"Who doesn't have relatives visiting a few days a month? Maybe she's really busy recently."
The young public-sponsored student comforted himself in this way, and at the same time, he awkwardly stepped back a person's width and said nonchalantly: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome... Come in, it's very cold outside."
The witch pursed her lips, lowered her head, and squeezed sideways into the store.
Zheng Qing glanced at her fair neck and smelled the fragrance coming from her shoulders. He felt a little dizzy and couldn't help but apologize: "I'm so sorry... The store is a bit small. We can't afford to rent a place that is too big, so we can only rent it for the time being. Just a moment.”
"It's amazing," the Gypsy Witch praised, and she crossed the threshold with light steps and walked into the store. At the same time, she comforted: "As far as I know, you are the only freshman who can make money and open a store by your own ability... This is The most powerful.”
Zheng Qing rubbed the back of his head and smiled silly.
In the distance, there seemed to be a few chuckles and a few whistles coming from deep inside the store. The wizard felt his face heat up. He tried not to look at the partners or customers in the store - he didn't need to look, he could fully imagine the narrow expressions.
"Ah, by the way, I didn't interfere with your work just now, right?" As soon as she entered the door, the witch seemed to think of something. She turned back to look at the store manager, looking a little uneasy: "That cat..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm just naughty." Zheng Qing waved his hands grandly, as if he didn't care at all. At the same time, he pointed to the room and said with a smile: "Those cats are also customers of the store, they are just But unlike you, some cats are a little naughty...it’s okay.”
Behind the counter, Jiang Yu, who was helping to check the account books, coughed twice.
Zheng Qing couldn't help but blush when he heard this - half a minute ago, he was yelling at Jiang Yu to catch the cat and stuff it into the cage, 'There must be no less mice in the store.' .
He tilted his head and pretended not to see Jiang Yu's teasing smile.
Then a yellow tabby flashed past the corner of his eye.
The wizard immediately turned his head, widened his eyes, and searched carefully.
He couldn't find the looming figure. In his sight, there was only a certain ragdoll cat squatting on a chair, licking its paws stupidly.
Illusion, it must be an illusion, he thought, shook his head, and shook the ridiculous idea out of his mind.
