After the excitement ended, the river became quiet again, and the onlookers returned to the cabin in twos and threes.
On the deck, apart from the old boatman holding the pole, there were only two people, Zheng Qing and Elena.
Zheng Qing was secretly excited in his heart.
"Did you duel with Professor Trudeau?"
In the end, Elena broke the silence between the two and asked first.
At the end of last semester, because "Magic Wand" included Zheng Qing in the new Major Arcana list, Professor Trudeau, who originally occupied the title of 'World', fell off the list, which made the petty professor very angry.
At one point, he claimed to have a duel with Zheng Qing, and the time was scheduled to be after the final exam.
However, just after the final exam, Zheng Qing rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and sneaked back home, naturally not taking part in the challenge.
He didn't think that his behavior was an escape - after all, one was a formal professor employed by the First University and a senior registered wizard; while the other was a freshman who had just enrolled for half a year and didn't even know the basic principles of modern magic.
Not finished memorizing.
Not fighting did not affect Zheng Qing's sense of honor at all.
"I have always respected teachers, how could I just open Dharma books to professors casually?" Zheng Qing defended in a serious tone.
Elena rolled her eyes and skipped the topic.
"I remember you went home for the New Year, didn't you? When did you go back to school?" As she spoke, the witch lowered her hand and tapped the ferry boat at her feet. "Why are you taking the boat today?"
The young government-funded students were extremely happy to find an opportunity to chat.
"I stayed at home for two weeks and just returned to school yesterday afternoon." He clapped his fingers and explained in detail, "Because I am a government-funded student, and the school requires us to complete certain charity work during the winter vacation. The main reason why I came to school early is for this matter.
...It just so happens that Fatty Xin plans to make an investigation report on the current situation of the North District of Beta Town and asks me to help. Combined, I can arrange my public welfare work in the North District..."
"The North District of Beta Town...is it the concave area?" The Gypsy Witch lowered her eyelids and said softly, "So, you are going to the North District by boat today?"
"Bingo!" Zheng Qing didn't notice the witch's expression and snapped his fingers happily.
"I heard that the magicians in the North District are very unfriendly to wizards. Is it okay if you go like this?" Elena reminded again.
Zheng Qing patted the gray cloth bag on his waist indifferently, and said proudly, "It doesn't matter, we have Dharma books and talismans... Besides, no matter how unfriendly it is, it belongs to Beta Town and is within the scope of the First University. We can always help
Ask the school for help.”
The witch finally said nothing, folded her arms, and turned to look at the calm river outside the boat.
The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and Zheng Qing finally realized that he could actually ask questions.
"Why are you taking the boat today? Those are your companions, right?" He tried to ask in a light tone, "But I don't seem to have seen them in the academy..."
"They are all foreign students from the Gypsy Witch Coven," Elena turned around and explained with a smile, "It's just that they are not in Jiuyou Academy...the two tall ones are from Starry Sky Academy, and the skinny one is from Starry Sky Academy.
Atlas, and the most beautiful one in Alpha Academy..."
"You are the most beautiful." Zheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt the witch.
Then he realized that he was Meng Lang, and his cheeks immediately started to feel hot.
When the witch heard this, her eyebrows curved, and for a moment, Zheng Qing felt that the originally dark water had become much brighter.
"We haven't seen each other for a few days, and my ability to flatter him has improved!" Elena stretched out her hand, patted Zheng Qing's shoulder appreciatively, and praised him generously.
Zheng Qing felt his heart beating wildly as she slapped him.
"This is not flattery, this is a fact!" He replied resoundingly - this time, he didn't have any blushing or hot reaction, but instead felt elated and full of energy.
The smile on the witch's face grew brighter.
"Ahem..." A sudden cough interrupted the chat between the two young wizards.
Zheng Qing turned to look at the old boatman with a frustrated look.
"If you want to fall in love, go to the cabin and don't wander around on my deck." The old man Bernard Shaw said in a rough voice, "There may be evil spirits in the waterway below. You stand on the deck and be careful not to be swept away by evil spirits."
When Zheng Qing heard this, his color suddenly changed.
"Evil?!" He pressed it on the gray cloth bag on his waist, and his voice suddenly rose a bit, "There are evil spirits near the school?! Are you kidding me?"
Similar to him, Elena immediately became nervous and grabbed the wizard's arm.
This is not because Zheng Qing is timid or sensitive to monsters, but because to wizards, monsters are like oversized bed bugs. If left unchecked, they will pollute the environment, and even if they are slapped to death, they will be disgusting.
For the demons, although the evil demon has the word "demon" in its name, the demons do not regard the evil demon as their own kind.
If wizards pursue order and truth, and demons pursue chaos and depravity, then evil demons pursue something beyond the two.
They are redundant in this world.
It is an existence that is rejected by all life.
There is no fixed form or unified image. Each evil monster has a unique concept, but all these concepts are inconsistent with common sense and logic.
A weak demon may be just a piece of code or a spell, without flesh and blood, worse than air.
Powerful evil spirits can swallow up the starry sky, drain the river of time, and reverse the cause and effect of all sentient beings.
In the new world, this kind of life is also called "god", "meme", "weird", etc. Some powerful people will also be named "Old Rulers".
Wizards initially listed evil demons as the same type of creature because they had similar dark attributes to ordinary demons. Of course, with the development of modern magic theory, wizards have realized that demons have inherent order, while evil demons have
They have natural chaotic properties and do not belong to the same species.
But on the one hand, there are long-standing classification habits, and on the other hand, both demons and demons are enemies of wizards. Therefore, until now, except for professional researchers, most wizards still confuse the two - but among wizards
In my eyes, demons are worse and more disgusting existences than monsters.
"There is nothing in the First University. If you want to visit the ancient gods, there is a place to go." The old man Bernard Shaw was somewhat disapproving of the shock of the two young wizards. "Evil demons are not all that dangerous, and they are dormant most of the time. They basically don't
Talk to the wizard and let you stay in the cabin, just in case..."
Before he finished speaking, a low cry came from the end of the river.
"Qua..."
