After Zheng Qing entered university, one of the school guards he became familiar with most was Verne.
After all, during his freshman year, he followed the old man many nights, patrolling around Linzhong Lake, and met and interacted with him more frequently than most of the professors who taught him.
Last year, due to mistakes in the patrol work, the old man Verne was transferred from the Linzhong Lake Patrol Team and worked as a boatman at the Silent River Ferry. Later, when the Exoneration Hunting Team participated in the trial mission, he became a hunter in the black prison.
The manager of the team camp.
Zheng Qing vaguely heard someone say that it was because Verne's punishment had not been revoked that he was transferred to work so frequently. His position in the patrol team of the school working committee was frozen, so when he heard Xiao Xiao
He said that old man Verne had a patrol mission tonight, so he showed a little surprise.
"Suspension, self-reflection, transfer to the left, level promotion, and then reinstatement... It's a very standard internal process. Is there any problem?" The fortune teller of the Exoneration Hunting Team impatiently knocked on the table: "Don't try to use your simple
And the simple diode brain can understand this matter, can it?...It’s just that this time he is not responsible for the night patrol of Linzhong Lake, but is responsible for the North District of Beta Town, and the wizard of the North District will assist him."
It's the Wizard of the North District again.
Hearing this term, Zheng Qing immediately forgot about the old school janitor holding the Shar Pei dog, and instead recalled the bad experience last night, scratching his head.

…
When Zheng Qing was upset, a certain crow that they were hunting was also in distress.
"Those kids make me uneasy."
Although he had escaped the pursuit of the Forgiveness Hunting Team, Gan Ning still looked a little ugly.
At this moment, he was standing in a slightly small laboratory, which was a temporary backup base for Crow in the Silent Forest. Apart from him, the only other person in the laboratory was Professor Monteria, who was standing in front of the test bench.
His words were also addressed to the professor:
"...This is by no means me being neurotic or trying to make excuses for my mistakes. Really, those kids make me a little uneasy. I think we should pay more attention to them... They are too young and haven't even graduated yet.
...Youth means recklessness and naivety. They are still at a young age where they believe in ideals and do not have the mature and cautious mentality that adult wizards should have, so they may not understand our good intentions of releasing..." Cricket
"Good intention? What kind intention? Let them pick up some scraps we left behind and fight with the Three-pronged Sword? You are not much older than them. Does this mean that you still have a naivety and recklessness similar to them?
"
Professor Monteria stood under the only light source in the laboratory, lowered his head, and meticulously dissected an experimental subject lying on the table. Without raising his head, he interrupted Gan Ning: "...that's why you dare to be so big
Do you have the guts to record the relevant data of a runaway experimental subject in full view of the public, completely ignoring the great wizard who is so close at hand?"
Gan Ning stood behind Professor Monteria.
The shadow cast by the professor's tall figure blocked in front of him, slightly covering his pale face due to shame and uneasiness.
"I thought the wizards of the North District and we had similar goals and there was a tacit understanding."
He murmured, his voice was a little weak, but it still sounded very clear in this small and quiet laboratory, which gave his self-defense a little more strength: "And, in fact, the guy in the Gini Cabin did
Didn’t interfere…”
"Great Sage." The professor interrupted briefly.
"Um?"
"You should respectfully call her the 'Great Sage of the North District' instead of some weird title like 'the one from the Gini Cabin'. Why, she was overtaken by a witch who is younger than you and has worse qualifications than you.
You think your face is ugly, so you want to gain some balance in your address? Childish."
The last two words were like a heavy punch, hitting the young crow's face hard. His expression could not hide his shock and a trace of panic.
Although the professor had his back turned to him, he seemed to see his expression and softened his tone slightly: "It is depressing to be surpassed by a wizard who is much younger than me, but it does not mean anything. We and those in the North District
The great sages are walking on different paths, and the scope and intensity of the wizards that our experiment can benefit far exceeds the curse seal of the North District. If the Great Sage of the North District has reduced the average magic level of the wizards in the North District from 1
If it is raised to 5, then the experiments we conduct can raise the average magic level of the entire wizarding world from 10 to 100... We are on different levels of track, and you should not be confused because of her."
"We...I didn't..."
"I have heard a saying," Professor Monteria once again interrupted the voice of the late stage Ai Ai behind him, and at the same time stretched out his hand: "laminar rongeur..."
Gan Ning hurriedly pulled out the silver rongeur and watched it eagerly fly towards Professor Cricket.
"That sentence is, 'If you have no money, then money means everything; if you lack confidence, then confidence means everything'. Now I give this sentence to you..." The professor watched the pliers move freely.
He bit the experimental subject and said in a very light voice: "If you lack faith, then faith means everything."
The young wizard lowered his head and accepted the professor's reprimand.
The sound of tiny collisions of metal tools resounded in the quiet laboratory again. Professor Monteria lowered his head and started working again: "What do you think about the children I just mentioned?"
"Catalyze an experimental body with the strength of a great wizard as soon as possible. You can select the dark wizards in the wanted order... to make them think that they have completed the hunting mission." Gan Ning answered without hesitation, obviously this idea was already in his mind.
He has been circling for a long time: "As for us, I think the mask change that Ruiwen proposed before is a good way to hide people's eyes..."
"It's a good idea, but it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause."
The professor's tone did not waver at all: "After the winter vacation, they will eventually go back to school, and we have been staying at school... As you said, they are still very young and will not turn a blind eye to the darkness in front of them. If crows are found in school again
There are signs of activity, and out of a desire to make up for their mistakes, they may pursue them even more fiercely.”
His words made the young assistant a little uneasy.
‘Treat the root cause’ has always had some bad connotations in this conversation.
"Professor, those children are very talented, and they are all valued by the school." He tried to remind them tactfully: "We can't let people ignore their existence."
"Do you think I want to murder them?" Professor Monteria was amused by his assistant's stupid words, and gave a rare chuckle: "I mean, let them join the crows, not stand on the opposite side of the crows."
This request seems even more incredible.
"With their talents, there's no reason to join the Crows?" Gan Ning looked confused.
"Who says they have to actively join the crows?" The professor was concentrating on the experiment, seemingly unaware of the secondary psychological impact his rhetorical question had on the crow behind him.
"Huh?" Gan Ning seemed not to grasp the meaning of the professor's words, and there was a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
Professor Monteria stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and took a serious look at him.
"Who says they have to take the initiative to add crows."
He repeated what he had just said, but this time, he did not use rhetorical questions, but used a more affirmative tone.
