The night was dark, and the moonlight and starlight fell, forming mottled light and shadows in the forest. Long-legged mushrooms jumped out of the light and shadow, spit out light balls as big as fists, erasing the mottled pieces, and the entire woodland immediately shone a lot.
There was silence around, there was no roar of wild beasts in the distance, there was no birds crying on the trees, no insects crying in the bushes, and even the leaves seemed to solidify in the wind, without making rustling sounds.
Zheng Qing felt very familiar with this depressing atmosphere, but for a moment I couldn't remember where I had seen it.
“What are the rules for the mask font size?”
He was behind the practice teacher and tried his best to make his tone easier.
"Of course it's based on strength! The more powerful the wizard is, the higher the font size." Hilda was arrogant, holding a slender bamboo stick in one hand and poking and beating in front of him, and holding up the other hand and knocking on his mask, as if reminding the young assistant teacher beside him to see his sort clearly.
In the order of "A, B, C, D", this means that Hilda is the wizard of the assistant tutor group second only to Zhang Yu, the acting leader, but Zheng Qing does not believe this conclusion at all.
He couldn't help but whisper a little.
"Thomas is much better than you!"
Zheng Qing thought of the Germanic wizard who introduced him to the first university, muttered, touched the mask on his face, and thought of another question: "...What is the font size on Thomas' mask?"
"It's not safe to not talk about this kind of thing while performing a task."
After Hilda stood up, he first taught the boy a lesson, and then shook the bamboo stick in his hand: "Of course, all of them are being monitored by the school guardian array tonight, and it is not that dangerous... Thomas's current mask font size is 'Geng'."
"Now?" Zheng Qing keenly caught a qualifier, and asked in surprise: "How could it be? I thought he was at least 'C'..."
"That's because he made some mistake."
Hilda was vaguely speaking, as if she had thought of something. She looked back at the young teaching assistant classmate and thoughtfully: "Speaking of all, the mistake he made is related to witches... You should also pay attention to it. Witches are troublesome spirits. If you can't provoke them, don't provoke them... You are still young... Even if you provoke them, don't provoke them too much. If you are a girlfriend, just one is enough."
This sounds a bit sarcastic.
And this topic has been a little sensitive to Zheng Qing recently.
He pretended not to understand Hilda's outspoken voice, looked around and mentioned another thing: "Why are the only investigation tasks tonight's only school work committee and teaching assistant team, why didn't the Santiao Sword come?"
I remember that every time an accident occurs in the school, the wizards with three-pointed swords embroidered on their robes are very active, especially those outside the school that are theoretically within the jurisdiction of the alliance.
"Because Vice President Shi has resigned." Hilda gave Zheng Qing an answer that he had never expected at all.
"Ah?" Zheng Qing opened his mouth blankly.
“Phuji Island is the Bouji Island of the No. 1 university, and then the Bouji Island of the Union.”
The wizard wearing the 'B' mask suddenly became very small, like a mosquito, and he could hardly hear his words without careful attention: "The Three-pointed Sword is the Alliance's Three-pointed Sword, but not the School's Three-pointed Sword. Otherwise, why did the Three-pointed Sword's office beta town and not directly arranged in the school? The Alliance has always wanted to reach into the school, and for this reason even let Nude be the director of the Three-pointed Sword... Do you know? Robert Nude... He was originally a disciple of Principal Shi, and he was not very strong, but he was very good at doing things... Originally, according to this trend, the two sides could slowly get closer to each other little by little. Until Principal Shi left the school to go to the Great Wizard Conference... A few of us assistants analyzed privately that the Alliance wanted to reach into the school, and the school also wanted to reach into the Alliance, and rushed to the two directions... "
This analysis is obviously more sensitive than the previous topic of discussing witches.
Zheng Qing opened his mouth slowly closed.
He swallowed quietly.
I was just chatting, but I didn't expect to discuss such a profound topic with this guy.
"Where are the wizards in the North? They are the parties involved, why didn't they come?" Zheng Qing tried hard to ignore Hilda's 'private analysis of the assistants', hoping to make the chat easier.
"It is because they are parties, so it is difficult to send people. This kind of avoidance is a routine tradition." Hilda didn't care about Zheng Qing's caution and held his stick and knocked on the bushes everywhere: "On the other hand, there are only a limited number of wizards in the North District who can come forward now... Just like in this situation tonight, if you want to participate in the investigation, you have to come to register wizards. Do you think there are a few truly qualified wizards in the North District besides the Great Sage?"
Almost nothing.
Zheng Qing couldn't help but sigh deeply when he thought that even Nicholas could become the representative of outstanding wizards in the North District.
"Where is Beta Town? Didn't the Beta Town Management Committee send anyone? They..." Zheng Qing muttered, and walked unknowingly to the front of Hilda's side.
"Bang!"
The stick in Hilda's hand hit Zheng Qing's side of his tibia, interrupting his muttering. Zheng Qing took a pain and stopped taking a breath in a small mouthful of cold air.
"Don't forget the task when chatting... We are here to inspect the scene, not to play." The practical teacher put on the momentum in the class, taught the young assistant a lesson, and took off the long-handled tweezers hanging on the belt: "Always pay attention to your feet and don't miss any subtle abnormalities... Just like this...ah, it's it!"
Hilda cheered softly, picked up a dead leaf on the ground with tweezers, held it under the moon, flipped it carefully, and murmured: "...I knew that this kind of thing could only be done by the black wizard."
The cold moonlight fell on the dead leaves.
Zheng Qing could clearly see a black spot like coal tar, condensed between the leaf veins, emitting an unknown aura. Just a glance made people feel a sense of nausea and want to vomit.
"What's this?"
"The secretion of black magic."
Hilda took out a glass bottle, threw the leaf in, and replied happily: "The near where the black wizard appears is often accompanied by frequent murders, nightmares, epidemics, coal tar-like secretions, and even large-scale deaths of plants and trees, birds, animals, insects and fish, restlessness, etc. You can understand it as a kind of 'signal'."
For some reason, when he saw the dark black magic secretion, the only picture that came to Zheng Qing's mind was the dead crow - this strong sense of déjà made him immediately think of his newly discovered "ability" not long ago.
He also finally recalled another very familiar feeling tonight.
One night a few days ago, he had a strange dream related to crows. In the dream, he was also in the silent forest and saw a circle of dead crows hanging on an eagle rack.
The depressing atmosphere that night was exactly the same as today.
