"Why!" Nailid couldn't help shouting after hearing what she said, feeling very aggrieved. Although I didn't know the term "fishing law enforcement" existed, I felt that the teacher Circe made her make mistakes on purpose. She was wronged!
"Because I want to hone your character." Circe spoke up and educated Nerid, "So that you can be more steady and not always reckless, let alone like the last time you went out - not only did you come back late, And there are injuries all over his body.”
"I'm being responsible, okay?" Nailide curled her lips.
"Be responsible and pay attention to your body and don't get hurt!"
"Impossible, teacher, you heard about me, I..." Midway through her words, Nyrid suddenly stopped because she saw Circe looking at her with wide eyes.
"Are you trying to piss me off to death by talking back?!" Circe said.
"I, well, I was wrong." Narid admitted her mistake helplessly.
"I was wrong too, teacher." Heidi whispered on the side.
Circe glanced at the two of them and said, "It is best to know that you are wrong. And since you know that you are wrong, you must be punished so that you can get the lesson you deserve."
"What's the punishment?" Nyrid looked at Circe and asked, slightly nervously, "Teacher, let me say it first, don't punish me to make more jack-o-lanterns. I really can't do it. Find something else. Come on, I promise to finish it!"
"call-"
Circe exhaled, thought for a while and said, "Then you two go and clean up the garden behind the wooden building. One person loosens the soil and the other watering it."
"Okay, I'll loosen the soil." Nerid said immediately. "Loosening the soil requires strength. I'm strong, so I'll do it. Heidi only needs to water it, don't be tired."
"It's up to you, go ahead." Circe waved her hand.
Nerid and Heidi immediately walked towards the back of the wooden building.
The black cat Mickey, who was basking in the sun on the roadside, looked at it, stood up slowly, shook his fur, and meowed "meow", as if to say, "I knew I would end up like this." Then, with light steps, he followed Nerid and Heidi, and walked to the back of the wooden building together.
Circe watched the two people and the cat disappear from sight, shook her head lightly, turned around and walked back to the wooden building without saying anything.
…
at dusk.
On the wooden floor, Circe sat quietly in a chair, with a cup of hot tea in her hand. A trace of water vapor came out, rising and thickening in the air, and finally dissipated.
Circe kept this action for a long time, as if she was meditating. Waiting until the tea was almost cold, he raised his head slightly and looked towards the stairs.
A few seconds later, the "creeping" sound of stepping on the stairs was heard, and Nerid and Heidi walked up one after the other. There was some dust on the clothes, face, and hands, making them look dirty.
Behind them, Mickey the black cat followed. I saw the other party dragging himself up the stairs, walked to a corner, yawned, and then lay down. He looked exhausted, but in fact he didn't help with any work.
Circe looked at Nerid and Heidi and asked aloud: "Have you finished all the things in the garden?"
"Yes." Narid nodded and replied, "It's all done."
"How's it going?"
"Very good." Nellie said, "I carefully looked through the entire garden, and I only broke a total of twelve flowers for you, teacher. Hey, teacher, don't be angry, I broke all the flowers for you." Those flowers that I don’t like very much, such as akru flowers and blood cloud flowers. The purple-eyed azaleas and blue ink orchids that you particularly value, I asked Heidi to help plow the ground, and they were well planted."
Circe raised her hand and looked at Narid who couldn't help but want to say something, but finally gave up. He pinched his brows with his hands, spoke slowly, and said to Nailid and Heidi: "Okay, okay, that's it, today's matter is over, you have to learn a lesson and don't make any mistakes again. Do you understand? Otherwise, I don’t even know how to punish you."
"yes."
"I understand, teacher."
"Well, that's good to know. Now you wash up first. Once you're clean, go down and eat. The food has been put in the cupboard for you. After you finish eating, come back up. I have something to tell you."
"You have something to talk about? What?" Nailid asked curiously, and Heidi also looked at Circe.
"It's not a big deal. In a few days, you may have to go out with me to attend a meeting at another gathering place."
"Meeting?"
"Well, the meeting." Circe waved her hand, "I'll tell you the details later. Let's go and wash up first."
"I want to eat first. I'm almost starving. I'll wash up after eating." Nailid said after listening to Circe's words, and walked downstairs. At the same time, she did not forget to remind her, "Heidi, you are the most important person." Come down, otherwise, I will eat your share."
"I-", Heidi hesitated for a moment, and finally followed Nairide helplessly.
After a while, the black cat Mickey lying in the corner upstairs seemed to smell something. He stood up, "swiped" and ran down like lightning.
Circe looked at it, shook her head, and said to herself: "Three little greedy cats."
…
About the same time.
In the Garden of Eden.
Richard sat on the table in the main laboratory and tapped the experimental table gently, making a rhythmic sound of "tapping".
He also received the news of the meeting, and also knew the name of the meeting, which was simply three words - exchange meeting.
Well, exchange meeting.
According to what he learned, in addition to the people from his gathering place, there were also people from another gathering place attending this exchange meeting.
This is because although the various gathering places in the jungle hut are theoretically independent of each other, if the two gathering places are relatively close, the relationship will be relatively close and there will be more communication.
This is the case for the Dark Forest Gathering Place where he is located, and the Green Wind Gathering Place next to it. The exchange meeting is held to allow people in the two gathering places to exchange some matters with each other, reduce conflicts, and help each other.
For example, if one gathering place wants to recruit students in the near future, then it is best for another gathering place to change the date and the area where they are looking for students, so as to save the competition for students. For another example, if one gathering place lacks a certain material and another gathering place has it, it can be exchanged in some way. For another example, exchange some information, spells, discuss attitudes towards other wizard organizations, etc.
Such meetings are usually held twice a year between the two gathering places of Ansen and Green Wind. The last time was in April and this time will be a few days later.
At this exchange meeting, many wizards will show up, and some will bring their students with them as a way to see the world. There are also wizards who don't care much and just send students to represent them, or even don't participate at all.
Richard learned that Gu Luo had not participated in such meetings in the past ten years or so. And according to his temperament, he doesn't really want to participate.
However, considering that participating in this kind of meeting can continue to strengthen his fictional character, and it is possible to learn information about Gu Luo from other wizards, and then obtain the place where Gu Luo hides the key to the holy land, he finally decided to participate.
After all, from the current point of view, it is beneficial and harmless to participate, just use it as an adjustment.
"Exchange meeting?!" Richard stopped tapping on the table, stood up slowly, walked a few steps, and said to himself, "I hope I can gain something."
