"Hey, Sister Biqing, help me!"
Chapter 21 This is a cat girl, bastard! What are you doing to the cat girl!
The gate of Cass Town, about eleven o'clock.
Mora sat on the carriage throne, and Avril waved goodbye: "I have already contacted the etiquette teacher. You must study hard after returning to the capital. Do you understand?"
Nodding, Mora turned the carriage around and headed out of the town: "Your Highness, be careful of that bad man. He definitely has dirty intentions towards you!"
"Let's go." Avril ignored him and urged.
Mora waved the whip and the carriage gradually went away.
After sending her away, Avril turned back to the Potter Cottage.
I went upstairs and saw no one in the medicine-making room, so I knocked on the wooden door of the bedroom opposite.
"Come in."
She pushed the door open and saw Potter sitting beside the bed. On the bedside table was a wooden staff with a transparent magic gem embedded on the top.
"Teacher, what is this?"
“Zhang Mu wanted to learn new magic, but I refused.
He was progressing too fast and too impatiently.
You have to learn to calm your mind and make your will stronger.
Otherwise, no matter how powerful the magic you master, you won't be able to go far, and you may even be backfired by the magic because of your fragile foundation.
But hitting too hard is not good, so I prepared a staff for him as an encouragement."
She went out early in the morning to send Mora back to the capital. When Zhang Mu came to ask for leave, it happened to be the same time as her, so she didn't know about their morning chat.
She walked over and played with the wooden staff, then looked at Potter with her ice-blue eyes: "The teacher told me that he is a genius who learned the fireball technique in one day."
Porter was silent for a moment, then said, "Because of his talent, I'm worried that he will become arrogant."
"Wait until he can cast fireballs stably, then teach him new magic."
Avril was skeptical.
The teacher's tone left no room for doubt, but she couldn't imagine such a thing.
Can you really read a magic book that is as thick as a finger and filled with obscure magic texts word for word in one day?
Moreover, successfully learning a magic is not just about reading a book, you also have to understand the meaning, practice it, learn from failures, and then release it successfully.
The most important thing is that Avril didn't sense any magical fluctuations from Zhang Mu practicing fireball magic the entire day yesterday.
Are you arrogant enough to think that you no longer need to practice, or have you simply not learned it?
Even if he was really as talented as his teacher said, neglecting the study and practice of magic would only be a waste of his talent.
The final result is probably that as time goes by, one will slowly become an ordinary person and die in a maze.
The slight interest that Avril had in Zhang Mu, which had arisen because of Porter's praise, disappeared in her heart. A lazy genius, no matter how terrifying his talent, is ultimately just an incompetent.
In fact, Zhang Mu practiced fireball at Potter's house every day.
But yesterday on the way back from the grocery store, my magic power happened to be restored, and after casting a fireball spell, my skill was directly upgraded.
I thought I'd test the difference from before before continuing, so I didn't set off the fireball during the day.
Perhaps guessing what she was thinking, Potter smiled and said, "Like I said, he's very good. You'll slowly discover it after spending more time with him."
"Okay, teacher." Avril said in a businesslike tone.
"Come to think of it." Potter glanced at the sunlight outside the window, "You said you'd have a long vacation. It's already noon, why haven't you come to class yet?"
"Maybe he encountered something. I'll go look around outside."
Potter shook his head: "I'm free, I'll go."
After saying that, he got up and went out.
……
Zhang Mu returned home from Song Lan and summoned a portal to another world.
There was still half an hour before the noon meeting he had agreed with Potter, so he ran to the grocery store and bought a bag of Cass Town specialties.
Stock up at one time to avoid having to make another trip later.
He walked into an empty alley, put the bag in his inventory, and then glanced at his phone.
"There are still ten minutes until twelve o'clock, just in time."
There was enough time, so Zhang Mu was not in a hurry and walked leisurely towards Potter's house.
"Quick! Catch him!"
"Filthy fellow! How dare you blaspheme God! Stomp him to death!"
There was a commotion ahead, and Zhang Mu stood on tiptoe to look.
On the right side of the street, more than a dozen guards wearing light armor formed a circle without leaving any gaps.
One of the guards, who seemed to be the captain, cursed and stomped his feet on the ground.
Zhang Mu couldn't see clearly what they were stepping on because they were so close and far away.
But from what the captain of the guard said, it seemed that they were catching heretics.
Zhang Mu approached curiously, and after seeing clearly inside the circle, he was stunned.
Suspecting that he had seen it wrong, he walked closer and looked more closely.
Through the brief gap left by the captain of the guard raising his foot, Zhang Mu saw a small body lying on the ground.
He was wearing a linen robe with holes all over it and covered in muddy footprints, and had dull blond hair.
And on the top of the head, there are two golden cat ears close to the head.
Blasphemy?
Zhang Mu remained calm and stepped forward to pat the captain of the guards on the arm: "Brother."
The captain turned around subconsciously, his face a little confused, as if he couldn't understand the title of "big brother": "Who are you?"
Pointing at the motionless body on the ground, Zhang Mu asked, "How did he blaspheme?"
"The garrison is on a mission. All unrelated personnel please leave!" The captain finally came to his senses, but without answering his question, he shouted and drove them away.
Zhang Mu raised his hand and pressed his shoulder: "How did he blaspheme?"
"Let go!" The guard tried to pull his shoulder free, but found that he couldn't get away no matter how hard he tried.
Although the magician's physique is not as good as those extraordinary people who major in physical training, he is still much stronger than an ordinary guard captain like him.
After trying in vain for a long time, the captain seemed to realize that the man in front of him was not an ordinary person, and suppressed his anger: "How dare a demi-human with a body full of filth sneak into the church and kneel down to worship God!"
"That's what's going on."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Mu kicked the squadron leader in the chest with such force that he flew backwards, knocking over several guards.
"How dare you! You dare to attack the guards!"
The standing guards immediately dispersed, pointing their spears at Zhang Mu, but he ignored them and squatted down to turn over his small body.
The person was already unconscious, and her face was covered in dirt and dust, so her appearance could not be seen. But from the hill that was beginning to take shape on her chest, Zhang Mu could conclude that this was a cat girl.
Zhang Mu picked up the unconscious cat girl with both hands, took two steps towards the guard captain who was crawling up, and stepped on him.
He stomped on her and cursed: "This is Catgirl, you bastard! What are you doing to Catgirl!"
"stop!"
The other guards swung their spears at Zhang Mu's back. He didn't look back, but relied on his mental power to accurately perceive where the spear tips would land and jumped to the right.
He held the cat girl he had picked up tightly in his left hand, raised his right hand, and subconsciously condensed a white fireball.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and the secret of how he could improve magic was not exposed.
Stop compressing, and the fireball with yellow dots turns back to red.
Zhang Mu raised his right hand and was about to throw it.
However, the moment the guards saw the fireball, they all suddenly stopped their attacking stances.
"I'm sorry, Master Magician, we didn't realize your identity."
The captain climbed up, ignoring the footprints on his armor, put his right fist to his chest, bowed and saluted, and the rest of the guards followed suit.
Controlling the fireball to shrink and disappear, Zhang Mu stared at the back of the captain's head with his eyes slightly narrowed.
Good guy, he’s quite patient. I can even hear him gritting his back teeth.
From the slight "clucking" sound coming from the captain's teeth, Zhang Mu knew that he was very angry.
And then there was nothing else, it was just impotent rage.
The status of a magician...
Muttering to himself, Zhang Mu picked up the seriously injured blonde kitten and turned to go to the Potter's house.
But as soon as he turned around, he saw Potter standing on the side of the road not far away, staring at him with strange eyes.
Chapter 22 New Magic
The two looked at each other in the endless stream of people.
After a long while, Potter turned and walked home: "Follow me."
Zhang Mu held the little cat girl tightly in his arms and followed in silence.
When they got home, Potter first took the blonde cat girl and used magic to check her injuries. He had a general idea of what was going on and fed her a few bottles of potion.
Then he called Avril and asked her to carry the cat girl to the bathroom on the first floor and wash her clean.
As she walked towards the bathroom, she glanced at Zhang Mu, feeling a little strange that her junior seemed quite depressed today, whereas he usually talked nonstop.
Potter led Zhang Mu to the potion-making room on the second floor and stared at him.
