Chapter 659: Chapter 7: Goodbye Wandering Wizard_1

"If the principal is around."

This seemed like an unquestionable prerequisite - where else could the head of the first university be if not at school?

But when these words were spoken seriously by Xiao Xiao, they became somewhat strange.

Even on the way back to the dormitory from the school hospital, Zheng Qing’s mind was still ringing with what Xiao Xiao had said. Despite being a bit confused, he keenly noticed the profound expression on Doctor Xiao’s face while saying this.

Of course, this confusion quickly disappeared as time passed by.

The young scholarship student had a lot of troubles weighing on his mind.

For instance, the night patrol around Lin Zhong Lake on Saturday night, the appointment with Jiang Yue on Sunday afternoon, and he also had to find time to drop by the Wandering Bar - Doctor Xiao finally refused to run errands for Zheng Qing, and instead asked the captain of the Absolution Hunting team, to personally visit the Wandering Bar and negotiate the purchase of ’public opinion’ with the thin, gloomy-looking old wizard.

Friday night was not an option. Zheng Qing had accumulated a lot of homework to prepare for the freshman game some time ago. Although the professors kindly allowed him to turn in his assignments late, delaying did not mean exemption - the deadline for assignments of several courses was imminent, and If these pieces of parchment were not lying obediently on the professor’s desk before midnight on Friday, Zheng Qing was sure that the credits he had just earned from the freshman game betting would be deducted.

Saturday didn’t offer much free time either. On one hand there was makeup homework, on the other hand he needed to stay in bed during the day to gather energy for the night patrol.

As for Sunday, he would need a catch up sleep in the morning, and there was a class meeting in the evening, in the afternoon he had already made an appointment with Jiang Yu to ask Doctor Duzem to recheck the elves - he only seemed to have a little time around Sunday noon.

According to Zheng Qing’s plan, after patrolling on Saturday night, try to wake up before twelve on Sunday morning, then go directly to Wandering Bar on Pedestrian Street after lunch, and discuss ’big deal’ with the wandering wizard, and strive to settle this problem before the appointment with Jiang Yu.

The plan was rigorous and implemented without a hitch.

Just five minutes past twelve on Sunday at noon, the young scholarship student was already standing at the door of Wandering Bar, holding a box - this box was a little nest made by the witches of Astronomy Class 08-1 for the elves. Although at present, the elves were not in deep sleep and could fly around following Zheng Qing, but due to the hustle and bustle of Wandering Bar, for caution’s sake, Zheng Qing had them stay in the paper house obediently and wait.

Unlike the first visit to Wandering Bar a few weeks ago, at noon, this long-standing popular entertainment venue at the first University had relatively few customers.

Pushing open the door, the shadows in the corridor immediately enveloped him, separating the dazzling sunlight outside the door.

Zheng Qing skillfully took out an admission ticket and stuffed it into the mouth of the frog squatting at the door - for some reason, many wizards like to use this slippery creature as food, pet, or even totem.

The gatekeeper frog puffing its cheek pouches, chewing on it, and after a few bites, spit out a hand tag with some transparent slime, and then gave it to the scholarship student waiting by the side with his long tongue.

Zheng Qing casually took out a handful of salted dried flies from his pocket and fed it to the gatekeeper frog - since he received some favor from a parrot, the young scholarship student learned to store all kinds of pet food in his grey cloth bag, so he could bribe these annoying little animals anytime, anywhere.

"Over here please, the wandering wizard will be here soon." A multi-armed race servant smiled and led him into a box on the second floor after receiving Zheng Qing’s gold card and request.

This quiet, small room was as dark as ever. Maybe because it was noon, the Fireflies were lethargic, lying on the vines sprawl out from pothos, flashing weakly.

As Zheng Qing sat on the couch, tilting his head, he noticed a bottle of amber liquid in the corner of the room. The faint light in the liquid was swirling and it was very beautiful. He vaguely remembered that it was a private brew of the Wandering Wizard, and it seemed to have a pretty name.

"Ah, a rare guest, a rare guest."

With a few old greetings, the old wizard in the oversized grey robe walked into the box: "The strongest freshman of the first university, the future star of Jiuyou Academy, the undisputed leader of the freshman contest... student Zheng Qing!"

"Welcome, welcome ... sorry the room is a bit dark."

As he said, the Wandering Wizard snapped his fingers.

The fireflies that were previously dozing off between the vines seemed to have been electrocuted, flapped their wings, and lit their belly lights. In just an instant, the originally dim box was covered with bright light, making it bright.

Seemingly noticing Zheng Qing’s surprised eyes, the old wizard chuckled and added, "Sometimes, a necessary reminder can save a lot of time... some little bugs always lack memory."

Zheng Qing frowned, feeling that the old wizard’s words had another meaning, but he couldn’t grasp the essence of it. Then he thought that maybe he was overthinking - some old ones always like to talk about mumble, straightforward things, but they speak like riddles.

"Something to drink... Green Bee or Amber Light?" The wandering wizard interrupted the young scholarship student’s daydream and asked amiably.

Zheng Qing glanced unintentionally at the bottle of amber liquid in the corner of the room.

"Ah! Time of Flowing Gold!" The wandering wizard exclaimed dramatically: "Such a picky guest! But I have to admit, your eyesight is very keen... that’s the best drink in this bar!"

The face of a young scholarship student immediately turned red.

He opened his mouth, trying to explain, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the wandering wizard again.

"Let me guess your purpose... the harvest from the freshman wrestling match was a bit too rich, the price given by the school was not appropriate, so you planned to sell some of it through Wandering Bar, right?" The old wizard grasped the Burgundy glass and poured ’Time of Flowing Gold’ into it, not allowing any refusal he stuffed it into the young scholarship student’s hand, while sighing,

"...this is my private brew! You need to drink it while the starlight in the liquor is still not dissipated, that’s when the flavor is most mellow ... not every gold card customer has the opportunity to drink it."

Zheng Qing had to tilt his head and take a sip first.

Compared to Green Bee, this glass of ’Time of Flowing Gold’ tasted slightly softer, and was not as stimulating; but compared to authentic Amber Light, this glass of ’Time of Flowing Gold’ appears much more passionate, while the drink mixed with starlight exploded in Zheng Qing’s mouth, as if his blood was burning.

"I’m not here to sell things." The young scholarship student hastily replied after snapping out of his trance, "I’m here to buy."
