As long as you are willing to speak out.

After hearing Huang Huali speak, Lao Yao smiled with satisfaction.

He knocked the teacup with chopsticks, dingding dingding, and then continued: "I remember the president said before that cause and effect are like a big net, firmly binding every soul who wants freedom... The stronger the power, the stronger the binding power of this big net. Bouji Island, or the first university, is the most powerful place in the wizard world."

"Since you have taken the initiative to appear in the center of this network, you should be prepared to be bound by the network."

"For example, Zheng Qing..."

Huang Huali cast a warning look at Professor Yao.

Lao Yao immediately raised his chopsticks, picked up another peanut, and changed to an example: "For example, the big mouse, it is also a thread that binds your hands and feet... Are you still looking for the trace of the big mouse? It is a mouse now, and if you want to escape, you can't catch it."

"It's all your business!" Huang Huali's beard turned upwards, and her temper became worse and worse.

"Because that big network is not isolated. Every node on the network is interconnected." Lao Yao spread his hands, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became a little serious:

"Every of our actions is affecting the existence of other nodes on the network. For example, your persistent pursuit of the mouse fairy may be the last straw that crushes it, making it give up the olive branch handed over by the school and accept the recruitment of the Dark Council..."

"So what!" Huang Huali's beard rolled in as if it was burned by fire. Lao Gao, who had his eyes hanging, glared at Lao Yao fiercely, as if he would pounce on him and bite seven or eight blood holes on him in the next moment.

"It's just a kind reminder." Lao Yao smiled slightly, lowered his head and picked up the last peanut with chopsticks, and rolled in the bright red sauce:

"Every era has the theme of each era. The theme of each generation is chaotic before it is finally determined. The only thing we can confirm is that no matter which era, no matter what theme, young people are always the final answerer."

"I'm old, you're old, but they're still young."

"When the waves of the times are surging and they are not ready, we are the last breakwater. They stand on the dam and look at us, just as we looked at the old people in front of us..."

Hearing this, the expression on Huang Huali's face finally eased a lot.

Its beard stretched again and its tail drooped casually.

But it still doesn't speak very well:

"You sound like an old wizard, not an old monster... Is it just taking care of the town? It shouldn't be a big problem. Well, that little girl in the North District can also help a lot... I'm ready in advance, I'm very busy, how long will I take care of?"

Professor Yao laughed softly twice.

"It won't be too long." His figure gradually faded into laughter, like a shadow under the setting sun, from thick to dissipation: "At most two weeks... it's very likely that everyone will be free this weekend."

The guest left.

Sanyou Bookstore became empty again.

Huang Huali stared at the teapot and saucer left by Lao Yao, and a trouble arose in her heart for no reason. It simply lowered its head, pricked up its ears, and tracked the surging rat tide underground again.

The sound of the crumbly and grand footsteps of the rat group, like the white noise when the rain falls, slowly dissipates the boredom in its heart and calms down again.

...

...

The tide of rats surged in the underground caves.

Through the mixed roots of tree roots, crossing the rocky land with strange rocks, and finally pouring into the wide and peaceful quiet river after a wet and water vapor.

The moment the water was in, the vests on the mice automatically popped up a round transparent film, like soap bubbles, wrapping most of their bodies inside, leaving only a slender tail outside the film.

Their tails flattened when they encountered water and turned into tail fins.

Like tadpoles.

The mouse wearing a red vest was obviously familiar with this matter. His tail fin swayed slightly, and he quickly adjusted his posture and continued to move forward quietly along the water flow.

The mice wearing blue vests are a little awkward in their movements, but they can also act independently.

Only those cubs wearing yellow vests, who were very nervous when they got into the water for the first time, often clustered with more than a dozen "soap bubbles", and their tails were entangled with each other, rolling and flipping in the water, and they couldn't move three or five meters in a long time.

In the end, a few tall red vest mice came forward and walked forward with the strings of soap bubbles.

A witch was silently watching all this outside the water not far from the "tadpole group".

The water in the silent river is flowing.

Colma sat in a quiet bay by the river, under her body was a reincarnated poplar that had died and lying on the ground. The bark of the tree was covered with moss and mushrooms.

She looked sideways, listening to the sound of the tide surging in the river, and stroked a silver ring on the middle finger of her right hand with her left hand. The ring was embedded with amber. Through the translucent brown color, you could vaguely see a undulating shadow of mountains in the amber.

The ring is a gift given to her by the mouse fairy after she became a great wizard. There is a small world in amber that can be used to accommodate her true body.

“It’s rising tide.”

She sighed softly, and the long hair in her ears rose and fell slightly in the wet river breeze. Her wide robe floated backwards, covering the peering eyes in the forest.

A witch in the North District standing beside her looked at the river, scratching her head, and was puzzled - the Silent River was obviously as smooth as ever, so where was there any sign of a rising tide?

Colma retracted her gaze toward the bottom of the river.

"Continue." She ordered the witch beside her.

The witch was just reporting to her some of the latest bad signs that the North District Wizard—or to be precise—has been discovered by North District Magicians.

"Okay, great sage." The witch lowered her head respectfully and continued to report: "...Because it takes a strong body to bear your spell seal, the northern area has a lot of demand for the Jiaguo fruit that increases qi and blood and the qi-strength fruit that grows qi. The fruits outside the silent forest have been picked, so everyone can only search deeper in the forest."

"In the process of finding a new picking site, our people found that some races in the silent forest had abnormal assembly, including the scourge group that had just appeared a few months ago, poisonous horned beasts, corpse-eating insects, centaurs, goblins... Some even saw the shadows of dragons and giants."

"Theoretically, many of these figures will only appear before the dark tide. Even in the dark tide, it may not appear."

"That is," Colma interrupted his subordinate's report and concluded: "Do you judge that a new round of dark tide is about to break out in the Silent Forest?"
