When Zheng Qing returned to the desk with the newly selected books, he did not complain to Xiao Xiao about how irritable and rude the eight-clawed octopus deep in the corridor of the bookshelf was. Instead, he immediately brought up the topic that he did not want to do.【】
"Guess who I just saw!" He held up Mankiw's "Principles of Rune Construction" to his mouth, looked around, and asked excitedly in a low voice.
"Lonely Prowler?" Xiao Xiao picked out Zhang Baliang's "Magic Spells, Magical Changes and Magical Power" from the new pile of books, flipped through it with interest, and dealt with it smoothly.
The Lone Prowler is a legend at First University.
It is said that it is an undead spirit who once studied at the First University and is an old-school student who advocates hard work to make up for one's weaknesses.
It lit a lamp and fought hard day and night, using its energy as lamp oil and its mind as a wick, spending its limited life in an infinite study career. In the end, it died of exhaustion of energy and weakness, and died on the desk in the study room.
Before; because the homework was not finished and the obsession was not gone, he eventually became a lonely school ghost.
A ghost is born as an orphan. It has no friends and doesn't like to talk. It haunts every quiet corner and endlessly does the homework assigned by the professor during his lifetime. However, every time it finishes writing a page in its own homework book
, there is always an invisible eraser that erases every word it writes, making it futile and unable to complete its homework.
It was as if God was playing a malicious joke on it.
Because more and more students encountered the ghost student on campus, the incident gradually became real. To avoid taboos, the students quietly gave the ghost student an informal name - Lonely Prowler.
Of course, different colleges have slightly different versions of the last part of this story.
In the Alpha Academy, the Lonely Prowler often appears in the empty study room, and occasionally writes the derivation formulas for magic spells on the otherwise clean blackboard; in the Atlas Academy, the Lonely Prowler kneels before the gods all year round.
At the foot of the statue, people pray silently and kowtow; the lonely wanderer of Starry Sky Academy will occasionally linger around the smell of disinfectant water in the school hospital; most of the time, students of Jiuyou Academy can only find this lonely school ghost in the bookshelf corridor of Shushan Hall
.
Some people say that meeting a ghost student in the bookshelf corridor is a good sign, and there will be unexpected surprises during the exam.
Some people also say that if you encounter a ghost learner, you should leave the library immediately and indulge yourself for a day, so as not to make the same mistake as the ghost learner on the other end.
No matter what, when you see a thin young man in a shabby robe in the depths of the bookshelf corridor, his back to you, kneeling on the ground doing homework, do not come forward to say hello, just bow from a distance and leave.
.
"If you talk to him, go to the cafeteria as soon as possible to borrow some salt water to rinse your mouth." Xiao Xiao shook his head, looked at Zheng Qing, and frowned: "You do look a little bad."
"Bah, bah, children's words are unbridled!" Zheng Qing turned his head, spat at the floor several times, clasped his hands together, and prayed: "Child's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled... Has your brain been gnawed by a bookworm?
How could you casually mention it in the library?"
Zheng Qing raised his head and glared at Xiao Xiao.
"Okay!" The watermelon-headed boy raised his hands helplessly, expressing surrender: "Then who did you see just now? Don't tell me it was the principal of the school... Someone once said that he saw the principal deep in the school's bookshelf corridor.
Is the figure real?"
"What a mess." Zheng Qing sighed weakly and pointed behind him quietly: "Over there, at the desk by the window, look at those two people!"
He emphasized the last two words.
Xiao Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced.
"Ah... Nicholas and Liu Feifei." The short boy withdrew his gaze as if nothing had happened, opened his notebook again, licked his brush, and sneered: "I've seen them two a long time ago, what's so strange about this."
"Sooner or later you will become a school ghost." Zheng Qing cursed fiercely, but couldn't help but remind: "Shouldn't you think more about it? For example, what are they doing!"
"Who knows... they are not like you. They come to the library every day." Xiao Xiao shook his head indifferently: "What else can you do in the library? Of course, reading and studying."
"Destined to live a lonely life." Zheng Qing sighed repeatedly.
"You want to say that they are in love?" Xiao Xiao raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
"Ha!" Zheng Qing finally heard the answer he wanted, pumped his fist vigorously, and said with excitement: "I knew there was something going on between them. Duan Xiaojian told me about it when we were at the Wandering Bar a few days ago.
!”
"So," Xiao Xiao straightened up and looked at him: "What does this have to do with you? You have time to care about other people's gossip, so why not worry about your own troubles."
"What trouble do I have?" Zheng Qing looked confused.
"Mike King Serpras, Arthur Ness, the night patrol of Linzhong Lake on the weekend," Xiao Xiao pointed his fingers and complained mercilessly: "If you add those little elves after a week,
The issue of survival, as well as the issue of the contract between Fatty Xin and Zhang Jixin... Do you think you are not in trouble? You are simply a troublemaker!"
"Oh..." Zheng Qing looked innocent: "Do you blame me?"
"Maybe it really has something to do with you." Xiao Xiao narrowed his eyes thoughtfully: "This kind of physique that invites disaster and disaster is not without precedent."
"I am a real student of Jiuyou Academy." Zheng Qing explained hurriedly: "Don't apply Atlas's blabbering theories to me."
"I don't think you are a real Nine," Xiao Xiao retorted habitually: "A real Nine would never cause so much trouble... I think you may be more suitable for the environment of Starry Sky Academy."
"That place where fights happen every day?" Zheng Qing said with a look of mercy: "I would rather go to Alpha Academy."
"Then you will die faster." Xiao Xiao looked at him mockingly: "Have you forgotten the fact that you have offended almost all the big guys in Alpha Academy?"
"Alas... there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain," Zheng Qing pinched his teeth, glanced at the two people who were tired of each other by the window, and said with a wink, "Love will naturally become stronger when it is deep."
Xiao Xiao ignored his actions and changed the topic.
"You said before that the professor's treatment was not thorough...that is to say, your elves are only temporarily awake now?"
Xiao Xiao buried his body behind the large desk, with only his head and two arms exposed.
He lazily flipped through a large reference book and concluded without raising his head: "So, you are using the price of twelve golden beans a week to hang the lives of a group of elves... If they
If they were lucky enough to survive for half a year, the gold they spent is probably much heavier than them."
"Actually, Dr. Du Zemu said that the medicine of 'Yu Yuan scattered' is very resistant. It is estimated that after taking the medicine for two or three times, it will no longer be able to extend your life." Zheng Qing raised his head in distress and lamented: "I
We also need to find other ways to extend their lives.”
"Retribution." Xiao Xiao sneered, raised his head and looked at the roommate opposite: "For a wizard, although he can't say it outright, he is still bound by it... Can you say it casually, such as oaths?
?”
"I don't regret saving them." Zheng Qing stiffened his neck and stared at the watermelon head, emphasizing: "I'm just worried about what to do next."
Xiao Xiao avoided his eyes, lowered his head again, and after a while, he spoke again: "Currently, what you are most likely to obtain is Dr. Duzem's 'Philosopher's Stone'."
"The first thing I wanted to discuss with you today was this matter." Zheng Qing tugged his hair worriedly: "I don't have a clue at all. It's not good to continue to trouble Jiang Yu."
"Take Lin Guo to his house and give it a try." Xiao Xiao quickly took notes and suggested casually: "Maybe a common language in alchemy can better harmonize the atmosphere."
Zheng Qing's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
"You two!"
A voice sounded nearby, interrupting the small seminar behind the desk.
The two young men who were discussing how to please Dr. Duzem raised their heads blankly and saw an old wizard with a straight face and a clipboard.
"What are you doing in the library?!" The old wizard's expression remained unchanged.
"Reading." Zheng Qing looked at the old wizard blankly, scratched his head, looked at Xiao Xiao again, and added: "What else can you do in the library?"
"I remember you!" The old wizard waved the noteboard angrily, and the quills that were dancing on the board were caught off guard and floated in mid-air.
"I just took you out of the bookshelf labyrinth half an hour ago, can't you read a book peacefully for a while? This is a library, not a conference room!" The old wizard glared at the two young people,
He scolded in a low voice: "Go downstairs to discuss the problem, or go outside the library! Don't affect other people's study!"
Xiao Xiao nodded quietly without saying a word.
"We did not disturb other people," Zheng Qing protested repeatedly: "There are only two tables in this corner... There are also our classmates over there, they can testify."
Zheng Qing turned around and looked at the desk next to the floor-to-ceiling window.
By the window, Nicholas waved to him with a smile.
An unpleasant thought came to Zheng Qing's heart.
"A classmate complained that your discussion affected his reading. I have just stood next to you for five minutes and can confirm that this complaint is correct." The administrator said with a straight face and issued an expulsion order: "Now, today, I must
Invite you out."
Zheng Qing had a toothache on his face.
Who knows when this old wizard stood behind them.
"What about him?" Zheng Qing pointed at Nicholas angrily: "He is in love in the library!"
"They are studying." The administrator said in an unquestionable tone: "Now, get out immediately! Otherwise, I will register your student card."
The two young wizards grabbed the books and left in despair after being expelled by the administrator.
