Chapter 206 Winter Solstice
D&K's opening wave still didn't completely subside until the regular class meeting on Sunday night. Instead, it felt like it was getting worse.
Thanks to the omniscient media, those things that originally happened in the depths of the store - such as the wandering wizard who came to congratulate with a bottle of wine, two senators from the Moon Parliament, and a group of people wearing vests of different colors A big rat was beating gongs and drums in the store, and so on - all these things behind the sun were dug up by reporters.
Including the Mouse Immortal from the underground world of First University, several great wizards who rarely appear on screen took turns to stand up for an unknown small shop, which aroused great interest among readers.
Why would great wizards care about a small shop? Is there any dirty background to this? What kind of deal does D&K have with the rat tribe in the underworld? Is it true that the wandering wizard just went to congratulate his neighbor’s shop because it opened? The most important thing is that Su Shijun and Duke Milton appeared in the same room!
Zheng Qing could completely imagine that the reporter who was the first to dig out this news was flushed, excited, and his lips were trembling while writing the article. He could even imagine the reporter's feathers swooping across the parchment, leaving behind a scrawled, illegible original.
Since Su Shijun revealed the news that she was married and had a child in September, she has kept a low profile and rarely appears in public. As well-known losers, Duke Milton and Prince William disappeared without a trace, making people almost believe that there were no such two people in the world.
Therefore, when it appeared that Beauty Sue and Duke Milton were sharing the same room, it completely ignited the burning fire of gossip among readers.
Why did Su Shijun agree to meet Duke Milton? Was Prince William present? Is it family pressure or just a coincidence? It is said that there was a violent conflict at the scene. Did the 'beloved man' of the beautiful Su also show up?
All these things make people scratch their hearts like a cat's claws, and they can't stop.
If it weren't for the fact that this place is within the core jurisdiction of First University and the rules and regulations are very strict, the editor-in-chief of the "Beta Town Post" would definitely drag a few old friends and throw a few traces of time back into the D&K shop. Use magic like this to completely record what you see and hear, and make a fortune.
It's a pity that this is Phuket, the first university where a store is opened.
In particular, there are several children of great wizards and noble families, as well as a publicly funded student and a young Merlin Medal winner. It is a very unwise choice to antagonize the above-mentioned forces because of a piece of gossip. Investments and returns are completely disproportionate.
This eliminates the possibility of the media using crooked tactics.
Correspondingly, Zheng Qing also arranged the people on his side clearly.
All members of the Exoneration Hunting Team, including 'non-staff' Jiang Yu and Li Meng, under Zheng Qing's strict requirements, refused all forms of media interviews - originally Fatty Xin planned to use this excitement to make D&K A little more exposure and fame, but when a few impulsive admirers of Beauty Su secretly threw a few small curses and big dung bombs outside the store, the fat man quickly gave up his previous idea.
As a media person, he knows best the disorder and blindness of public opinion driven by fanaticism. This is a process of ‘hot movement’ between rumors, rumors and facts.
Not finding an opportunity for a frontal breakthrough, the reporters focused on the guests attending the opening ceremony that day, planning to attack in a roundabout way.
This time, Merlin did not disappoint them.
The reporters quickly caught traces of another hunting team that went to celebrate that day, the Ouroboros Hunting Team. They even found out that when the two members of the Lower Moon Parliament were in the store, several members of the Ouroboros Hunting Team happened to be in the store as well!
Zheng Qing had no reason to keep Andrew Taylor silent.
Although he had reconciled with the Taylor wolf cub to some extent and even reestablished a good relationship. But this does not mean that the wolf cub will obey the government's instructions and be submissive.
In particular, the short, fat wizard with a loud voice was a guy full of expressiveness.
"I knew that wolf cub was unreliable." Zheng Qing cursed and dropped the newspaper that still smelled of ink in his hand, sat down on his bed, folded his arms, and began to sulk.
It's four o'clock on Sunday afternoon, and he's just had lunch, a plate of frog dumplings dipped in garlic paste.
Originally these dumplings were prepared for Iseni.
Today is the winter solstice. According to the previous plan, the Exoneration Hunting Team was originally going to Linzhong Lake at the invitation of Iseni to participate in a small celebration of the fishman tribe - this is the Exorcism Hunting Team and the Ouroboros Hunting Team. A project to enhance mutual trust and strengthen exchanges - knowing the fish people's preferences, the young wizards also specially prepared many frog-filled dumplings as gifts.
However, all these plans had to be canceled due to the restless atmosphere outside.
Because the special hunter of the Ouroboros Hunting Team, the young fishman of the Linzhong Lake fishman tribe, Iseni, also accepted an exclusive interview with the "Beta Town Post" and spoke to the reporter in the language of a wizard. Describes everything that happened to it that day.
The reality is like this - if there is no stake, no one will care at all about criticizing the evil and smelly fish-men who were the wizards' old opponents from more than a hundred years ago after dinner. He even made a disgusted expression at the mention of the word 'fish-man'. But if these fishmen have other uses, these same wizards will happily become friends with them again.
Even if you have to hold your nose when talking to the fishmen, and endure their bad habit of saying five "hisses" in every sentence.
As long as there are benefits, it's not a problem.
"It's not all Andrew's fault." Fatty Xin lay lazily on the bed, letting the fat cat walk back and forth on his chest, sweeping his face with its big fluffy tail from time to time.
"The elder said that there seems to be something happening behind the Ouroboros Hunting Team, Serprano... You know, that mafia boss and Sir Friedman have never dealt with each other."
The elder is Zhang Jixin. This is his nickname in the Exoneration Hunting Team, and everyone often uses it on weekdays.
"But what does this have to do with us?" Zheng Qing couldn't help but frown.
"Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid?!" Fatty Xin rolled his eyes hard - which made him look like he was about to choke after being stepped on by that fat cat - and said angrily: "You forgot Sir Friedman’s father’s name is Cullen! He is also from the Cullen family! The Duke of Milton who defeated us is his biological uncle.”
"Members of the Lower House of Parliament appeared on Phuket Island without being invited. This is a very sensitive and highly hype-worthy news... Serprano will never let go of this opportunity to attack his opponents."
"He's so bold." Dylan sat in the coffin, trimming his nails and shaking his head.
