Vol 5 Chapter 39: Hedgehog cat

The disappearance of the Linguo Black Goat did not cause much trouble in the first university.
At present, the first university, there are too many more important things that attract the attention of the students-Jiuyou conflicts with Alpha, the internal controversy of Atlas, the unlimited fighting match of the Star Academy, Nicholas the blood picking, and Reggie The results of the accident with Augustus, the new sacrificial wizard in the northern district of Beta Town, a certain student union vice chairman who quietly promoted to the Great Wizard, and so on.
Inferior, there are the Linzhong Lake Murloc tribe, the horse tribe still stranded outside Alpha Castle, and the ground mouse tribe who have recently been agitated because of the disappearance of the Rat Fairy. They are also published in the Beta Town Post or the school newspaper. Regulars.
In comparison, a black sheep that has temporarily lost its track seems a little insignificant. Compared with a small animal, the school newspapers and gossip may pay more attention to the love story of a certain chief student. In addition, secretly every year There are not one hundred or eighty pets who have slipped away to play for a month. The school cannot organize a search team for every short-term missing pet, or waste the precious energy of professional fortune-tellers.
"Don't worry, wait patiently for a few days," the on-duty wizard of the school work committee comforted Lin Guo and said with a smile: "Maybe in a few days you will find your sheep honestly returned to the petting garden with a group of sheep behind. Little lamb...It’s still late spring, and it’s common for animals to forget their owners after they are in heat.
The answer was slightly narrow, and Zheng Qing couldn't help but smile.
"Don't laugh, there is a precedent for this kind of thing." The wizard on duty said to the two young people in a serious manner: "A few days ago, a hedgehog from the Star Academy brought a group of kittens back to the petting garden..."
"Hedgehog with the kitten?" Linguo's attention was immediately diverted by this strange statement.
Zheng Qing sighed silently in his heart, still too young, so the subject was changed so easily.
But he was also interested in the story of the wizard on duty, and quietly pricked his ears.
"...Yes, the hairs of those kittens are exactly the same as the thorns on the hedgehog. They are almost carved out of a mold. They look like the hedgehog."
"But how can a hedgehog give birth to a cat?" Linguo still couldn't understand.
"Hedgehog cat, haven't you heard of it?" The wizard on duty raised an index finger and shook it at the little wizard: "A very rare magical creature, hybrid, chubby, very cute, and puffy It's two extremes... You can't expect to be clear about all the magical creatures in the wizarding world, even the great wizards of the school's Institute of Magical Creatures can't do it."
"But the cat and the hedgehog... are reproductively isolated." The little wizard was brooding about this explanation-he seemed to mind his sheep bringing back a group of lambs with wings or gills.
"Magic, everything is possible." The wizard on duty lifted his chin with confidence and nodded.
"In other words, the school work committee has no way to file a case to investigate the disappearance of the black sheep, right?" Zheng Qing forced to correct the topic again to the right path.
Ling Guo immediately looked at the wizard on duty.
The school worker in gray robes glanced at the young public student and sighed: "This is not the first time you asked, right... If you remember correctly..."
With that said, he flipped through the folder in his hand:
"...Well, if you remember correctly, some time ago, because a pet snake was missing, you called the school work committee. Since then, the school work committee's handling procedures for related cases have not changed."
"But it turns out that something happened to the snake...You should be more active in this kind of thing." Zheng Qing suddenly felt that he had to complain to the student union about the dull and bureaucratic work style of the school committee— —Exercising the right of supervision is the responsibility and obligation of every public student.
The wizard on duty blinked and closed the folder in his hand.
"We will seriously consider your suggestion." He replied dryly, then stared at the two young people in front of him with a pair of godless eyes, as if suffering from aphasia for a moment.
The duty room fell into embarrassing silence for a while.
Zheng Qing coughed and pulled Lin Guo and walked out: "In this case... Then I will trouble you. It's hard work."
"No hard work, no hard work, this is what we should do." The wizard on duty seemed to wake up suddenly from hibernation, and his eyes moved a little bit smartly-but that was all, he didn't even get up to give it away. The two students left. Just quickly closed the folder in front of him.
It was noon when I left the office of the school work committee.
When it rained in the morning, the sun did not come out, and I always hid behind the clouds. The air was warm and the breeze was mild, and it was so comfortable that people couldn't help but stretch their waist, and immediately forgot the unpleasant experience just now.
After stretching his waist, Zheng Qing took out his pocket watch and checked the time.
There is a small stain on the transparent glass case of the pocket watch~EbookFREE.me~ like the marinade splashed by Fatty Xin eating chicken legs. Zheng Qing sighed distressed and rubbed his cuff.
Very good, that stain has been rubbed off.
The wizard lightly breathed a sigh of relief-he also hoped that he would be able to travel the long river of history with this pocket watch. So we must cherish it now.
The hands on the dial indicate that it is now 1:20 pm.
There is more than half an hour before class in the afternoon. After eating at noon today, he accompanied Lin Guo to the office of the working committee of the school to "report the case," queuing, filling out the form, waiting, plus the unnutritious conversation just now, and he just slipped around at noon. Lost.
The wizard doubted that he would fall asleep ‘accidentally’ again in the afternoon class.
"I still have class in the afternoon, I won't send you to Alpha Castle." Zheng Qing yawned and explained to the little wizard after sending Linguo to the catguo tree-in order to prevent Linguo from feeling lonely, he still got from the tree. The superior greeted the forest cat as a companion to the little wizard.
"...You go back with it. The school is safe." After saying that, Zheng Qing patted Linguo on the shoulder and comforted: "You can rest assured about the matter. All the members of Yougui are helping you. Doctor. I have been thinking about a new method of divination in the past two days. Maybe there will be good news... Also, the senior sister of Kini’s Kolmar has already greeted the wizards of the North District. As long as Da Hei has appeared in the North District, we I can definitely know."
Lin Guo flattened her mouth and nodded vigorously: "I'll go to class well!"
Zheng Qing was very satisfied with the little wizard's answer:
"I have a class in the afternoon of murloc language. The professor is an old murloc who is said to be the elder of the murloc tribe of Linzhong Lake. I will ask him to ask questions in Linzhong Lake... Haunted near Zhonghu Lake, I must not escape the eyes of the magical creatures in the lake."
