However, Zheng Qing still underestimated the speed at which rumors spread.
On the way to school the next day, he saw many students—both freshmen and seniors—starting to wear protective charms.
To be more low-key, tie some colorful silk on your wrists and ankles. This is an ancient protective spell. Wizards use rope buttons to knot runes to resist unknown curses. Girls prefer this kind of beautiful and simple style.
amulet.
The high-profile ones wore five-color peach seals engraved with runes around their necks, an auspicious gourd in their waists, or painted colorful spells on their faces. Some students even held open Dharma books in groups.
Walking in groups on campus.
So much so that the college had to issue an urgent notice, reaffirming the prohibition on opening Dharma books at will on campus, lest these panicked young wizards fire their guns in their uneasiness.
In addition, there are also all kinds of strange rumors being spread.
Some people claimed that this was a leak in the school's curse laboratory, and some unknown curse began to spread around the lake.
Some people also say that this is the fish people of Linzhong Lake Reserve making sacrifices to the evil existence in the dark, and they intend to restore the glory of the medieval period.
Others swore that the perpetrator was a demon that sneaked into the school!
They even took the trouble to plan the infiltration route for this monster: they hid in the special plane with the banshee Nikita. When she made a fuss in the cabin, the monster swallowed up a certain student and replaced him, and then caused trouble in the First University.
, creating opportunities for their demon ancestors to attack the university.
I have to say that young people have always dared to think and speak.
However, these rumors were quickly clarified by the school.
The Working Committee of the First University has posted notices at the main building, office building, laboratory building, Shushan Hall, and even at the entrance of many gardens in the back garden, repeatedly emphasizing that the recent attacks on magical creatures have nothing to do with demons:
"...Such incidents are related to the recent resurgence of strange beasts in the Silent Forest. First University has instructed relevant departments to deal with the matter with all their strength...Please do not believe and spread rumors...The school working committee will take action against any behavior that disrupts the public security environment of the school.
Deal with it seriously!”
This announcement has curbed some malicious rumors to a certain extent.
However, the public is more vocal than Fangchuan. Until the truth is revealed, forcibly blocking the news will not be able to completely eradicate the students' private unrest.
On the contrary, due to the asymmetry of information, this blockade only further confuses the situation.
For example, one of the most widely circulated news in the school stated that a thousand-year-old zombie in the cemetery in the back garden of the school had just woken up, was regaining its anger, and planned to take out the coffin and walk around.
To Zheng Qing's surprise, many students believed this flawed argument.
The black donkey hooves, live roosters, and black dog blood in the magic shop on the pedestrian street of Beta Town were once sold out of stock.
When this panic spread, not only students in Jiuyou Academy stocked up on various supplies, but also students in Alpha Castle, Starry Sky Cube, and Atlas Tower in other territories also began to stock up on magic talismans.
Even the gray-robed wizard at Wandering Bar very kindly reminded Zheng Qing that Wandering Bar has prepared a series of magic props to prevent zombies for gold card customers, with a 50% discount on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Of course, you have bought the best black donkey hooves in our store, and you must not despise these ordinary magic supplies. But your classmates must have such needs. As a gold card customer, during this special day,
You’ll get a 50% discount on any purchase you make.”
Zheng Qing slapped the letter on the desk and sighed repeatedly.
The hidden meaning of the wandering wizard was very obvious, which was one of the reasons why Zheng Qing agreed to accept the gold card in the first place.
Even if he doesn't need to buy magic supplies to prevent zombies at the Wandering Bar, he can still buy a batch at a low price and then sell them to other students in need at a high price.
It's a huge profit, and it comes justly, so no one can blame you.
However, he was young after all, and always felt that doing so was unreasonable.
"How could it be a zombie?" Zheng Qing was sitting in the classroom, looking at the friends next to him, and laughed angrily: "If you use your brain a little, you know that this kind of thing is completely impossible!"
He completely couldn't understand why such irresponsible remarks could become so popular in a wizarding university.
Regardless of whether the zombie race, one of the five major races of the Moon Council, can allow its ancestors to wreak havoc in the First University. If a single thousand-year-old zombie wants to grab some life, it is afraid that humans and beasts will be banned for hundreds of miles, so how can it be just sneaky?
Look for little things like kappas and turtles to attack!
"That's right, that's right." Zhang Jixin shook his head repeatedly: "Thousand-year-old zombies... Even the big buffaloes in Linzhong Lake are just scraps in their eyes, so what are kappas? It's not even enough to fill the gap between their teeth!"
"Brain is a good thing, but not everyone has it." Fatty Xin lay down at the table, blew his nose, and muttered: "Those who spread this rumor must not know that zombies like to eat brains."
Maybe Dylan spilled too much disinfectant powder in the dormitory, and Fatty sneezed all night.
After getting up this morning, others noticed that his nose had become round and swollen, like a circus clown's red nose.
This made Fatty feel so depressed that his favorite potion class this morning could not cheer him up.
"Compared to these messy remarks, I think the invisible ghost mentioned by Dylan is more likely." Zheng Qing couldn't help complaining: "At least, it is the same as the ghost, it is silver-white, and it floats around.
, you can hide in the middle of the tree to avoid being hunted by the school guards."
The only problem is that most magic books list invisible ghosts as a type of magical life with high curiosity.
Zheng Qing felt that if there really was an invisible ghost wandering around the campus, and seeing those young wizards dressed in strange clothes, he would definitely not be able to help but come forward to study it.
As a result, more students should be killed on campus.
Thinking about these messy things, I suddenly heard the beautiful collision sound of wind chimes shaking in my ears.
The fragrance was blown by the breeze, and Li Meng's figure ran in front of him like a gust of wind.
Zheng Qing immediately raised his head, looked at the young aunt warily, and involuntarily covered his gray cloth bag with his left hand.
"What are you going to do!" the young public-funded student shouted with some sternness: "I have already sold all my evil-proof charms to you! I sold them to you at a super low price... What else do you want?"
Maybe because of her young age, maybe because of her cuteness, maybe just because of her mysterious identity as a witch.
People in the school were extremely tolerant of this twelve-year-old college student, and many people even made no secret of their love for her. In addition, she fainted several times within a few weeks of entering the school, which only heightened people's love for her.
Li Meng also gradually lost the anxiety and timidity she had when she first came to university, and gradually regained her lively and willful side.
For Zheng Qing, this is not good news.
Because this means that he will definitely suffer when dealing with Li Meng, and it is completely unreasonable.
"Hey, you stingy guy." Li Meng wrinkled her nose, shrank her head and looked back, pouting a little guiltily: "Who wants to buy your talisman... It's my cousin looking for you, looking for you, the 'big public servant'
