Chapter 965: Chapter 27 The Threat Beyond the World"World? What world? Which world?" Elder Xiao Bonar obviously hadnât paid much attention to such current events recently, and he asked back.
It sounded like he mistakenly thought the other party was referring to some new world.
"The world of âMagic Wandâ, the last one in the Big Arcana Sequence, that âworldâ!" An employee of Trident Sword said excitedly, as if a re
"So, please describe the specific course of events," said the Trident Sword wizard, setting up the notepad again, calmly looking at the young wizard. The snow-white feather pen floated daintily above the notepad, waiting for Zheng Qing to start speaking.
Zheng Qing turned to glance at Elder Xiao Bonar.
The old ferryman, with his hands leaning on a bamboo pole, was squinting at the scurrying black robes on the bay shore rocks, eyeing the pile of muck left after the monsterâs death, seemingly oblivious to the conversation between the two beside him.
The young scholarship student took a deep breath and turned back, resigned to start recounting everything he had witnessed along the way.
Starting from Near Zhong Pond Pier, to the views on both banks, the tune of the boatman, even to the boiling river caused by a silvery fishâand he mentioned the tune Old Bonar sang, tooâeventually coming to the ferryâs encounter in the riverbend.
"...when the frog monster tried to ambush me, it was stopped by the captain, and then I, unconsciously, fired a shot, just one shot, and it turned into a pile of mush," he said, as if worried the investigator wouldnât believe him, Zheng Qing stressed: "You can ask the captain about that, it was just a Fu Bullet wrapped in an ordinary Evil Suppressing Charm."
"Donât worry, weâll verify all of this cross-referenced," reassured the Trident Sword wizard kindly, then sighed: "Indeed, just as the teacher said back then, a powerful wizard could even use a simple Binding Spell to strangle the throat of Destiny... My Evil Suppressing Charm probably wouldnât subdue a ghost of a hundred years."
Zheng Qing indicated he had nothing more to say.
On the other hand, Elder Xiao Bonar seemed quite pleased with the "Captain" title mentioned by Zheng Qing. Without waiting for the Trident Sword Wizard to speak, he said with a chuckle, "The passenger on my ship has already explained in great detail. I have nothing more to add. In short, it was the descendant of Satoguya who started the fight, and the School Works Committee wonât compensate even One Copper."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Qing felt his eyes well up with tears and nodded repeatedlyâhe felt the same way too.
The Trident Sword Wizard gave a dry laugh and hastily said, "These matters, these matters can only be confirmed after an investigation... We are only responsible for a preliminary inquiry, just the inquiry."
Elder Xiao Bonar showed some dissatisfaction, "Does this mean you donât plan to escort us ashore?"
"Escort?" Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows, slightly puzzled by the old manâs choice of words.
Noticing his confusion, the Trident Sword Wizard promptly explained, "Youâre only here for a simple registration now. Later, youâll need to further assist with the investigation when we dock... Donât worry, itâs all procedural, very straightforward. As for the escort, itâs also for your safety, considering you blew up a descendant of Satoguya."
Zheng Qing had already given up arguing whether he had indeed blown up that frog monster.
He was very concerned about another situation mentioned by the Trident Sword Wizard.
"Could it be that this Satoguya youâre talking about might seek vengeance?" His tone was somewhat anxious.
The Trident Sword Wizard stroked the feather of his Feather Pen, hesitated for a moment, and then explained, "While it was only a calamity beast, theoretically speaking, all descendents of Old Day Rulers are registered with their Elderly Ancestors. Any anomaly in their life state might attract the covetous gaze from the Deeps of Starry Sky... thus the matter is somewhat serious."
Zheng Qing quietly swallowed.
So, he absolutely could not be connected with the death of that frog monster in any way!
What a stroke of bad luck!
Beings like the Old Day Rulersâcould a freshman at First University possibly deal with them?
For a brief moment, Zheng Qing even considered whether he should act extra submissive in front of Su Shi Jun for a while and hide in Greenhill Mansion without stepping outside.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
Relatively speaking, First University was somewhat safer than Greenhill Mansion.
"Then, about that being you mentioned," Zheng Qing pointed upwards discreetly with his index finger and asked in a low voice, "when is it likely to react?"
"Thatâs not certain," the Trident Sword Wizard, apparently not realizing the young manâs unease, responded indifferently, "Maybe a day, maybe a week, maybe a month... You know, such beings are immense in both size and consciousness. For them, turning a thought might take some Short-Lived Kind a whole lifetime... Moreover, if theyâve just woken up and their consciousness is not fully clear, the reaction could be even slower."
"So itâs all down to luck," Elder Xiao Bonar chimed in from the sideâhe did understand what worries lay behind Zheng Qingâs questionâcomforting him, "But donât worry, this is Buji Island, and you are a student at First University, and with all those titles, Satoguya wouldnât dare make trouble here even if it had a hundred times the nerve."
Finally, this response let Zheng Qing feel a bit more at ease.
