I don’t even have to go to the office when there are no tasks, and the occasional tasks I go out on are all easy work, so I can just treat it as a paid trip.
If you really go out to look for a job, where can you find such a good one?"
After listening to her, Zhao Qi thought about it carefully and found that what she said made sense.
Touching his short hair, he muttered: "That's true..."
Seeing that he had calmed down, Yue Ruo clapped her hands together and said, "Okay, tomorrow we will go to the remote places near the school to search. If we don't find the unknown energy,
Close the case and go back quickly."
"I'm afraid this time, I can't just go back after a few days like before." Zhao Qi shook his head. "You know, the boss has been inactive for a long time because of the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
Every time there is a meeting, other leaders would urge us to disband the Special Investigation Bureau to free up funds for them to operate.
Now that we have finally caught an incident that is not so outrageous, we will definitely not give up easily."
“Then I can’t slack off anymore?” Yue Ruo looked terrified, as if the sky was falling.
Zhao Qi smiled slightly: "The boss asked us to find out the source of the unknown energy even if we have to turn Su City upside down. We have already searched the area around the school.
Since there are still no clues, it’s time to expand the search area.”
"for example?"
"How about the amusement park?"
"Good idea. I also think that the amusement park is likely to hide carriers of unknown energy. This is what is written in novels."
"Then let's go?"
"go!"
Chapter 29 Excited Rone
Perhaps because he could finally see the magical beasts that he had only seen in movies, TV shows and literary works, Zhang Mu got up very early today.
After getting up and washing up, I summoned a portal to another world. The sun hadn't even risen yet.
As usual, I fed Dahuang some intestines, touched its head, and pushed the door open to go into the house.
Because Zhang Mu’s magic class was temporarily suspended, Avril did not go to the second floor to wait for him today.
Instead, he sat at the wooden table in the middle of the living room on the first floor, flipping through books.
For some unknown reason, today Avril tied her long ice-blue hair into a high ponytail, took off her loose magic robe, and changed into a knee-length dress.
It must be tailor-made, and the dress fits the body tightly without any wrinkles.
The collar was fastened with two white buttons, and the white fabric was close to the collarbone, rising abruptly downwards, crossing the highest peak and then dropping sharply.
The fabric's journey later on was much easier, stretching from the flat belly to the slim waist, outlining a very beautiful curve.
The skirt, which was a blend of ice blue and white, just reached past the knees, revealing her fair and white calves fully exposed to the air.
The calf meat is perfectly shaped, just the right amount of plumpness without a trace of excess greasiness, as if it was carved by the most skilled sculptor in the world with painstaking efforts.
It was the dawn, and the golden light passed through the open door, over Zhang Mu's shoulders, and gently sprinkled on Avril's whole body, giving her a dazzling halo.
Zhang Mu admired the scenery that was so beautiful that it looked like an oil painting, and a pure smile appeared unconsciously on the corner of his mouth.
Not all looks are evil, and not all smiles are obscene. It is human nature to appreciate beautiful things.
Avril probably felt this the most deeply at this moment.
For the first time, she did not feel uncomfortable being stared at for a long time by a man. She even felt a little excited in her heart because she felt appreciated and her charm was acknowledged.
"Good morning, junior." Avril turned around with her ice-blue eyes, and her ice-blue hair that reached her waist swayed.
"Good morning, senior sister." Zhang Mu closed the door with his heels, sat opposite her, and asked curiously, "Senior sister, do you have anything important to do today?"
Avril raised a slightly mischievous smile and said, "It's nothing important. I just wanted to try and see if my junior who seems to have lost sight of me all day will look at me."
"Uh..." Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Senior sister looks beautiful in her robes, there's no need to change clothes."
"Is it?"
Avril pressed her upper body towards him a little bit, and Zhang Mu's face was reflected in her icy blue pupils: "But, why are your eyes so calm?"
"I've always been like this."
"Well?" Avril sat up straight and stared at him, "But I remember that day, the way you looked at Leah seemed very excited."
Zhang Mu's face changed: "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!"
There's nothing wrong with liking beast girl figurines, but a living one, and a very old cat girl at that, Zhang Mu would never admit it even if you kill him.
Even though he just wanted to touch the cat's ears and furry tail, who knows what others would think? What if they misunderstood him as a pervert?
He denied it, and Avril didn't ask any further questions, just stared at him.
After a long time, when Zhang Mu felt he could no longer hold back, Porter finally came.
"What are you doing?" Porter stood in the middle of the stairs, looking left and right at the two people who were looking at each other, very confused.
"Just chatting." Zhang Mu took the opportunity to stand up and walked to the stairs. "Teacher, when do we leave?"
"Cas Town is surrounded by forests. Except for the east side where Mayor Lu will send people to clear out the monsters, the other three sides are rarely visited by people. There are enough monsters for you to practice fighting.
You can pick any one of the three sides. ”
"I see."
Zhang Mu responded. It was unknown whether he wanted to escape from Avril's gaze as quickly as possible or hoped to see the Warcraft as soon as possible. In any case, he left quickly.
The man pushed the door and left.
"Teacher." Avril looked at the closed door, then turned back to look at Potter, who had no intention of leaving. "Don't you need to follow me?"
When every new magician tries to fight a monster for the first time, an elder or teacher will quietly follow behind him to ensure his safety, no matter how powerful his magic is.
Simply having high attainments in magic does not mean that one will be strong in actual combat.
Being able to respond calmly and quickly according to the current situation is one of the most important factors in winning a battle, and it is also the only ability that can be improved quickly.
After all, it usually takes a long time to learn and become familiar with magic, and it won't be effective in just three days and two nights.
What's more, calmness happens to be what a new magician lacks the most.
When faced with the most naked malice and the most cruel monstrosity in the world, it is not easy to remain calm, or even to be able to release magic at the speed of practice.
Many new magicians with poor psychological qualities will fail in their first actual combat, even magic that they have practiced to the point of being almost instinctive.
Therefore, when the younger generations of a magic family go into actual combat for the first time, their parents will protect them for a few days, and only let them go completely when they are almost there.
However, if a younger generation's strength increases too quickly, the parents will suppress them to avoid affecting their status in the family.
Status represents authority, which means being able to possess the most resources and go further on the road of magic.
In the Sol continent, it is common to suppress talented juniors, or even deliberately send to death those talented juniors who have the ability to threaten oneself.
There are exceptions, not many, and Porter is one of them.
Potter followed Bai Hu's words: "Zhang Mu is not a reckless and impulsive person. If he encounters a danger that he cannot resist, he will run away."
"What if I can't run away?" Avril was a little worried.
"Haha." Potter smiled, "I walked around the forest around Cass Town last night, and I dealt with all the monsters that posed a threat to him.
Moreover, the magic badge I gave him has a reflective magic shield I cast on it."
Reflective Magic Shield - high-level defensive magic that can reflect a certain degree of magic attacks.
This remote corner of Cass Town can be considered absolutely defensive.
Avril suddenly realized, no wonder the teacher looked so confident.
In a flash, she felt strange again: "Teacher, you only need to follow behind the junior to protect him for one day, why is it so troublesome?"
“We will set off back to the capital in three days.
Although coming here to meet Zhang Mu is not a wasted trip, I still want to use this time to look for clues to the treasure. "
"I understand, teacher." Avril resolved her doubts and got up to go to the second floor.
Zhang Mu was not at home, so she thought about making a medicine to suppress the disease for her junior so that he could drink it as soon as he came back in the evening.
……
Walking along the street, Zhang Mu soon arrived at the only "town gate" of Kas Town.
As Porter had said, there were more than a dozen guards standing on either side of the gate, which had never been guarded before.
One of them looked familiar to Zhang Mu. He seemed to be the captain of the Kas Town garrison.
In a hurry to deal with the monsters, he didn't waste time with the captain and passed by them and left the town.
Standing there thinking about the formation, leaving out the main road on the east where monsters are often cleared, the remaining ones are the south, west, north and north.
Zhang Mu raised his foot and took a big stride towards the north.
"Lord Rone, is it him?"
After the people walked away, a guard asked the captain.
"It's him!"
Rone's fists were clenched so hard that they made a clacking sound, and he was extremely excited.
I discussed the plan with Bishop Charlie last night. I thought I would have to wait for many days, but I didn't expect that the bastard magician who beat me up would walk out of the town the next day.
"You." Rone pointed at a guard at random, "Go find Bishop Charles in the church and tell him that the guest is leaving. I will go and see him off now."
"Other guards, follow me!"
Rone almost growled when he said the last sentence.
According to the information given by Bishop Charlie, that bastard has not learned magic at all, and he has an apprentice-level magic scroll given by Bishop Charlie.
The advantage is mine!
"I'm going to capture him alive, and then, I'm going to crush him to death with my feet!"
The chance to regain his dignity was right in front of him. Rone's eyes were filled with excitement and his pace of pursuit became faster.
