"Magic is not a natural ability that every living being has."
"In other words, magic is an 'unnatural' state that violates the rules of nature. Just like money in Baiding's world, they naturally have no value, but after being defined by certain special memes, they represent
of infinite value.”
"Similarly, money can be passed down in an orderly manner under specific relationships, and the same goes for magic abilities. They can be passed down sequentially through blood, invasion, infection, and other special ways... But good and bad are interdependent, and cause and effect are predetermined. Ordinary creatures want to obtain magic.
, Violating the rules of nature will naturally require you to pay a corresponding price..."
Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment with the quill in his hand when he was transcribing the lecture notes. He frowned and thought hard. He felt that this sentence sounded familiar. He had heard it somewhere.
After a while, he finally remembered - Xiao Xiao once said something similar to him in the first potion practice class on Monday morning, but Zheng Qing could not remember the context at that time.
He vaguely remembered that when they were discussing some issue about collecting white dew, the doctor mentioned something like paying a price for violating the laws of nature.
After all, it happened two days ago.
It was already Wednesday afternoon, and two days were enough to erase most of the bits and pieces of ordinary life, not to mention it was just a fleeting experience in the young wizard's mind.
Zheng Qing felt that he was very powerful at being able to recall the origin of that sentence at this moment.
"The teacher looked at you."
Jiang Yu, who was sitting on the right, was keenly aware of the wizard's momentary distraction. She touched the lost wizard with her elbow and whispered, "Don't be distracted!"
Zheng Qing immediately came back to his senses, looked at the podium, and sat upright.
The class on Wednesday afternoon was a school-wide elective course. Zheng Qing did not follow the fat man and the doctor in taking magical cosmology, nor did he follow Zhang Jixin's choice of introduction to occult science (notes), which was easier to pass. Instead, he chose magical biology.
It doesn't matter whether the course is easy or whether the credits are good or not, what's important is that Jiang Yu also chose this course. Of course, facing the weird looks from others, he only needs to lift Poseidon high, and he can always deal with it.
Seven, eight, eight.
He had no intention of hiding the remaining small group of people who couldn't be dealt with.
The teacher on the podium nodded slightly, very satisfied with the boy's attitude.
The lecturer of Magical Biology is a researcher at the school. His surname is Gan and his given name is Ning. He is young and looks about the same as a senior student. Zheng Qing once met him in Professor Monteria's laboratory and he has a long face.
He has a very pleasing round face, his eyes and tone are very gentle, just like the down on his face, which is so slender that it is almost transparent.
"...Give me a very common example, Goblin."
As he spoke, Professor Gan turned around, grabbed a piece of chalk and swung it on the blackboard, drawing a goblin vividly. Zheng Qing seemed to be able to smell the fishy smell emanating from the little goblin across the blackboard.
The lecturer of Magical Biology turned around and looked at the audience again. At some point, he took the pointer in his hand and tapped the Goblin on the blackboard. The little thing he poked grinned:
"Goblin is a very common magical creature, widely distributed in Europe, Great Britain, Scandinavia and other regions. They are short in stature, ugly in appearance, good at escaping, hiding and psychedelic magic, and are very resistant to metal and Gems have extraordinary acumen...The most striking features of this creature are its long, pointed ears and red eyes."
"Some students may think that these little goblins are too common and useless, so that they are not considered magical creatures. But magic is never distinguished by 'useful' or 'useless'...useful or useless" The wizard you are targeting has nothing to do with magic, so be sure to remember this clearly."
"Back to business."
"As a kind of magical creature, Goblins have paid many prices in order to master the power of magic, such as their short size, ugly appearance, paranoid and twisted personality, etc."
"These costs are obvious and can be seen at a glance. There are also many hidden costs, such as allergies to sunlight, salt and white vinegar... Well, now that we have talked about it, please take notes. I will briefly summarize a few. A traditional method used by wizards to deal with goblins."
At this point, Professor Gan paused and emphasized slightly: "...Exams in previous years often involved this kind of magical creature, so please pay attention."
The classroom immediately resounded with the clatter of pages being turned and the rustle of quills falling on paper.
Zheng Qing felt that for a moment, the entire classroom seemed to be awake.
"The methods used to deal with goblins in traditional witchcraft are very simple...for example, tomato juice can burn their skin; white vinegar fumigation can suffocate them; refined salt can blind mature goblins. Causes the larval goblin to liquefy, this liquefaction effect is similar to the slug's sensitivity to salt."
"In magic biology, you need to further study the more fundamental reasons why similar phenomena occur. For example, tomato juice contains a large amount of light elements, which can directly contact the filamentous protrusions of the goblins through the skin. Nervous system, stimulating the system produces the same reaction as burning... Compared with ordinary creatures, the nerve cords in magical creatures are more developed and the nerve fibers are denser, so the nervous system is also more sensitive and can react to many ordinary materials."
"Ordinary creatures, on the other hand, have a 'dull sense' due to the lack of their nervous system and will not have similar reactions. This can be regarded as a blessing in disguise in a sense..."
Hearing the words 'a blessing in disguise', Zheng Qing's consciousness unconsciously drifted further away, and the quill pen in his hand that was writing notes also quietly slowed down.
"Are you bothering about the hunting team again?"
The witch sitting next to me was taking notes, brushing her long hair around her ears, and reminded her in a low voice without raising her head: "No matter how annoying it is, don't disturb the class."
Hunting team, this is indeed one of Zheng Qing’s worries.
In addition to the fact that Lin Yan, a first-year public-funded student at the Alpha School of Law, recklessly mentioned to Zheng Qing the acquisition of the Forgiveness Hunting Team, which caused a lot of paper cranes, there are also hunting team recruitments that need to be mentioned by clubs and student unions.
The annual training plan, applications and defenses for exoneration and transfer to the official hunting team, etc., come one after another, which is very annoying.
It is true that the Forgiveness Hunting Team has no plans to recruit new members this year.
But the freshmen who had just entered the school didn't know this, and they still kept flying paper cranes for him. Being rejected once was not enough. Perhaps after hearing too many chicken soup stories told by the old people, many young wizards would reject Zheng Qing's rejection.
As some kind of test, he came to visit again and again, coupled with the heavy studies in the second grade, all this made Zheng Qing exhausted physically and mentally.
