Vol 3 Chapter 68: Hunting team on campus late at night

"I think this is great."
When Zheng Qing vaguely mentioned the hidden dangers of'Chaotic Time' to Ling Guo, the little wizard replied with such a sentence.
The two stood at the patrol gathering place set by the lake, blowing a cold wind, and the atmosphere seemed a bit stiff for a while.
In late autumn, the temperature is already a bit low. Although Linzhong Lake can slightly affect the surrounding temperature to some extent, it is still powerless to the cold wind passing over the lake.
"It's getting colder..." The young public-sponsored student changed the subject with a smile, and at the same time put the pile of materials in his hand back into the gray cloth bag, and then wrapped the fine velvet cloak tighter.
Lin Guo seemed to be a little overwhelmed by the slightly embarrassing atmosphere between the two, and stiffly echoed: "Fortunately, the school has issued a coat... it feels warm to wear."
As time slipped into winter, patrols, especially night patrols, gradually became a chore. To this end, the school work committee has specially equipped each patrol wizard with warm coats and cloaks. It's just that these ‘tools’ are stored in small cabins by the lake and can only be worn during patrols.
Zheng Qing nodded and did not continue the previous topic.
Maybe it was a bit rash, he thought to himself, for any wizard, time and soul are two very private areas. We should change to a warmer environment and a more relaxed way to talk about this with Lin Guo.
"No matter what, I think you should talk to the professor." The young public student did not give up in the end: "Any professor is fine."
Lin Guo's expression eased a little.
He could still feel the concern in Zheng Qing's tone.
The little wizard sullenly nodded his head insignificantly.
...
...
When all the members of the patrol team arrived, a middle-aged school worker took the place of the old Verne man and stood in front of the team and loudly assigned today's patrol task.
The patrol members whispered and whispered to each other. Zheng Qing focused on catching the individual words leaked from the mouths of the senior senior students, and did not even hear the name of the person in charge who took office.
So when the middle-aged school worker stood in front of him, the young public-sponsored student was speechless except for making his pale face paler.
"Sick?" Unexpectedly, the middle-aged school worker's attitude was very gentle.
He glanced at the young wizard and added: "If you feel unwell today, you can go back and rest first... The patrol task that has been dropped can be made up another day. Fill out a form before leaving."
When Zheng Qing heard the first half of the sentence, he was a little excited and moved in his heart.
But the next sentence immediately suppressed his upcoming leave plan.
"It doesn't matter." The young wizard blew his nose and said with a grumble voice: "It's a bit cold today, but it's just a cold... you can hold on."
Also, I hate filling out forms. He mumbled unhappily in his heart.
"Very good!" The middle-aged school worker patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and then patiently assigned the two freshmen to patrol today.
No different from the past.
It is still the patrol area along the lake corridor on the west bank of Linzhong Lake-the relatively easy section of the entire night patrol.
There are no grass loops around the feet, and bugs running around will not get into the trouser legs along the ankles. Just walk back and forth along the dry, flat corridors, pay attention to the lake at most, and don't let the kappa who eat wild food climb up the embankment.
"I've always wondered why kappa don't hibernate." When Zheng Qing poked this kind of fangs into the lake again with a stick, he couldn't help complaining: "Whether a frog or a water snake knows to stay in winter Warm bottom... how come they are so stupid!"
"Because they are going to the shore to bask in the moon." Ling Guo lowered his head and replied glumly.
Perhaps that conversation not long ago affected the little wizard's mood, and his mood seemed to be a little depressed.
Zheng Qing sighed and glanced back.
The sheep raised by Lin Guo kicked its hoof and followed the two young wizards unhurriedly. A small furry fox nestled between the horns of a black sheep.
It's Poseidon.
Before the patrol today, Zheng Qing finally remembered the incident, and hurriedly ran to the office building of the school working committee halfway through, filling out a bunch of forms.
It's just that the little fox obviously failed the master's heart, and was a bit dissatisfied with being dragged out of the bed to sun the moon in the cold. So from the very beginning, I lay on the black goat's head with a ‘non-violent and non-cooperative’ attitude.
"Do you know where Uncle Verne went?" The young public student changed the subject, trying to divert the little wizard's attention.
But obviously, the topic he chose made the atmosphere in the court even heavier.
"It is said that because of the accident involving the wild monster on the night patrol last week, Uncle Verne was expelled from the school because of his dereliction of duty..." Linguo's mood became more and more depressed: "But I heard from the seniors that he is still It's a ferryman on a quiet river."
Zheng Qing has also heard about the situation of the old man Verne.
According to legends, the old man’s resignation seems to be related to the game between the two vice principals—because the old man Verne is an elder of the school work committee and an important helper of the vice principal Ruoyu. He belongs to the conservatives in the school. Many reform plans of Vice President Shi Hui were forced to suspend under the obstruction of these old people. Therefore, the meaning behind this resignation is profound.
Although Zheng Qing did not sneer at these rumors, he did not take it seriously.
He is just a pink freshman in the first year of university.
Even if you were lucky enough to be a public student, and then lucky enough to get a Merlin Medal-that's all. For this school with a deep heritage and a large number of fierce people, it is nothing more than a brighter leaf on a towering tree.
There is absolutely no position and ability to influence whether this big tree should grow up high or grow around.
Zheng Qing wisely ended the topic of Old Man Verne.
He made another disturbing discovery.
"Are there several figures in the forest over there?" The young public-sponsored student poked the little wizard next to him, his voice a little nervous: "Are you a student who escaped at night? Or is the murloc in the lake coming ashore again? Do we want to Remind other patrols to pay attention?"
Lin Guo squinted, looked carefully for a moment, and shook her head.
"It's the hunting teams in the school that are training at night." The little wizard gave him a strange look: "The uncle just said before assigning the task, because it will be hunting the moon soon. Recently, all hunting teams will strengthen night training. The intensity of...Have you not heard?"
Zheng Qing smiled awkwardly and gave a haha.
He couldn’t admit that he had just listened to the old students next to him chatting, and he hadn’t noticed what the middle-aged school worker said in front of him~EbookFREE.me~, the hunting team that was training at night was already far away from them. Very close.
Seems to notice the curious eyes of the two young patrol members.
A lanky wizard turned his head, looked at them a few times, then talked with his companion in a low voice, and walked straight here.
"Zheng Qing?" A few meters away, the thin and tall wizard greeted Zheng Qing and stretched out his hand to Zheng Qing: "Isn't interrupting your patrol..."
Zheng Qing hesitated, grabbed the opponent's hand and shook it.
Although he looked kind, he confirmed that he did not know the tall and thin wizard in front of him.
"Hello, you are..." The young wizard hesitated.
"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet." The thin and tall wizard smiled brightly: "Introduce myself... My name is Deng Xiaojian, Deng Lin's Deng, small and small, sword sword... My friends call me Deng Zi. "
