Behind the door is a dark and deep corridor.

The exquisite marble wall tiles and the quaint and heavy wooden floors were mixed with the breath of time, which made people stare at it with their breath, fearing that they would disturb the sleeping souls in the corridor - this was not an exaggerated decoration, but a fact of some degree.

On both sides of this corridor, portraits of famous wizards who graduated from Alpha Academy are hung. They include Gene Black O'Brien, the patriarch of the O'Brien family three hundred years ago, William Taport, the dragon-slaying warrior of the Taport family two hundred years ago, Jiang Qianli, the great alchemist who combined Eastern weapon refining techniques with Western alchemy theory 150 years ago, Edward Jenner, the great healer who invented the treatment of dragon syphilis a hundred years ago, and Smyer Nott, the great wizard who made important contributions to dimensional topology theory fifty years ago, etc.

Based on respect for tradition and honor, Alpha people always like to hang these elderly people who have made outstanding contributions on the walls and mount them in exquisitely carved walnut photo frames for people to admire. However, as time goes by, there are more and more portraits hanging on the walls, so that blank walls can rarely be seen throughout Alpha Castle.

Zheng Qing even heard Lin Guo say that there was a debate in Alpha Fort some time ago, discussing how to deal with too many "hanging images": Some people suggested opening a special room to serve as a showroom; some people suggested that later portraits could be hung in the villa area outside the fort as appropriate; some people prefer to move away "some wizards with less outstanding achievements" and hand over the vacant position to more "qualified" wizards - Edward Jenner, who invented the dragon pox transplantation technique, belongs to the "some wizards with less outstanding achievements".

However, seeing that the therapist who had been fighting against dragon syphilis for a lifetime was still hanging safely in this corridor, Zheng Qing knew that the discussion at Alpha Academy had no final result.

"Oh, I should remember to bring a few silence talismans." The young public-funded student noticed the portraits who woke up one after another on both sides of the corridor and whispered in a low voice. He remembered that the portraits who had been hung on the walls all year round seemed to have a bad temper.

As the stone door slowly opened, the light yellow sunlight fell obliquely on this deep corridor, awakening the old people in the picture frame one by one. Some rude and abrupt curses gradually sounded in the corridor.

"It's not your fault." Ilena took out a Paris version of the Dharma Book from her arms - Zheng Qing remembered that the sales of Shangyuan Bookstore once introduced it to him. This Dharma Book is gorgeous in style and has a heavy feel. There are also the proverbs in the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 7 on the golden mouth.

The gypsy witch did not give public students more opportunities to watch.

She opened the magic book, danced quickly between the pages with her fingers, and threw out three spells in succession:

"I'm still asleep!"

"I still sleep without any cleverness!"

"I'm still sleeping!"

Zheng Qing is very familiar with these three spells.

Not long ago, in the new student Saishan, a young public-funded student once used these spells in a guardian array, knocking down his companions, and then went out alone to face the surging beast tide.

‘Sleeping without sleeping’ means that people can sleep with their eyes closed and sleep with their hearts; ‘Sleeping without cunning’ means that people can block their ears and sleep with their hearts; ‘Sleeping without sleeping’ means that people can shut up their mouths and sleep with their hearts. In short, using this set of combined spells can make people fall asleep quickly and cannot perceive any external information. It is the only way to promote sleep and kill family robbery.

Although Shadow took away a lot of "experience" after leaving, it once used the mantras used by Zheng Qing's body, and young public-funded students can still use them proficiently.

"A great choice!" The witch exclaimed and suddenly asked, "Do you need a phantom talisman? I have a few more pictures on my body... Are you prepared for any trouble?"

His proposal was not aimless - looking at what Ilena did along the way, she probably didn't want people to know that she was here at Alpha Castle today. Although she didn't know what she had plans, as her companion, Zheng Qing felt that she should show her worth.

"Thank you then." The witch's eyes froze, she glanced at the witch with a smile, and took the phantom talisman he handed over.

Soon, Zheng Qing found that his actions were a little extravagant. It seemed that the shelter exercise was being held in the huge Alpha Castle, and there was no one there. Except for a few milky white ghosts floating around in a drowsy manner, the young public-paid student could not see more signs of life.

However, this empty environment is more conducive to the action of the 'infiltrator'.

Two wizards who had hidden their tracks quickly passed through the corridor, crossed the patio in the middle of the castle, and moved quickly along the crisscrossing stairs. Even the huge golden clock could not affect the witch's attention.

Zheng Qing noticed that Elena's purpose of moving forward was very clear.

So he tried hard to restrain his curiosity - he would know it after all, and he comforted himself in his heart like this.

In fact, curiosity was satisfied a little faster than he expected. After turning several intersections and passing through an unpopular rest area, Ilena's steps finally stopped in front of an arch.

"It's time to go!" She clapped her hands lightly, took out a thin badge of iron texture from her pocket, and stuffed it into the hand of an alchemy doll standing at the door of the arch.

"Welcome." The doll's dull eyes swept through the empty corridor in front of her. Without any hesitation, she moved the seat stiffly according to the fixed procedure and made it open to the entrance of the arch.

"What is this?" Zheng Qing looked at the carved arch in surprise and several familiar badges hanging outside the door. He always felt that he had seen these signs somewhere.

"Friedman's lounge is also the headquarters of the 3A club." Ilena's tone was extremely plain, as if she was talking about what to eat this afternoon: "They were all staying in the villa area outside the castle today... until the class starts tomorrow morning, and there was no one here."

"What are you doing here?" Zheng Qing couldn't help asking.

"I have a homework that I have to do, I have to come." The witch sighed, not seeming to want to explain more.

"Do you have the secret key here?" The young public-paid student was still curious.

"No." The witch shrugged, took the badge that the alchemy doll returned, and threw it in the air: "This is what I 'borted' from someone."

Zheng Qing was stunned.

Thinking with his heel, he could guess what the specific meaning of this "borrow" is.

Although he had some conflicts with the boss Friedman, as time went by, the little conflict between the two due to Arthur Ness seemed to have been resolved a lot. To be fair, although the young public-funded student was not a kind of honest person who followed the rules, he had absolutely no "hobby" to break into other people's lounges.

And Friedman is obviously not an easy person to deal with.

Just as he was hesitating whether to say something else, the witch walking in front suddenly turned around and showed a strange smile.

"Ah, I almost forgot!"
