Professor Yao’s statement about the vortex made Zheng Qing feel stricken.
However, his feelings did not come from the slightly distorted persistence and fall between Thomas and Nikita, but from the subtle and precise coupling that the word "vortex" can express.
Just like fate.
The more he sorted out the big and small things that happened during this period, the more Zheng Qing was in awe of the fate that might exist in the dark.
Give a very small example.
The Black Prison War and the Crow conducted illegal magic experiments, which seemed to be two completely unrelated things. But the vortex of fate involved them together - the Crow caused the defection of two faculty members of the school, and ultimately failed to cause a huge storm in the league. The biggest reason is that after the Black Prison War, Professor Aimah was promoted to vice president of the First University.
Professor Emma is the former dean of Alpha Academy, and the wizard family who have the resources of public opinion in the alliance have to take care of their own people to a greater or lesser extent, so they have downplayed these two scandals in the school.
Otherwise, Professor Aimah, who was already questioned because of her poor strength, would definitely be increasingly precarious - this is not good news for all Alpha people.
To understand it in Lao Yao's words, destiny is like a vortex, spinning quietly outside the curiosity of many people. If one day you can't help but get close to you and want to see what it looks like, it will easily be sucked in.
Zheng Qing felt that he was now consciously or unconsciously trapped in the whirlpool of the fate of the crows.
And it gets deeper and deeper.
This made him feel quite upset. He went back to the dormitory at night and found a cockroach crawling by the sink while washing up. He couldn't help but complain to the doctor.
"Endless! Endless!"
The young teaching assistant student was upset and beaten with a wet towel, and his tone was a little unhappy: "You can see these guys everywhere... you can see them at home, at school, on campus, outside campus... endlessly! Doctor, is there any magic to drive away cockroaches?"
The black gem cat squatted on the desk, tilted his head and looked at the boy who had just walked out of the bathroom. After Zheng Qing's caressing for several hours, it had regained its activity and vaguely became more spiritual.
"Please find Fat Brother, thank you."
Xiao Xiao lay on the table and was teasing the black gem cat with a quill pen. Hearing this, he replied lazily without raising his head, "—But, are you really the cockroaches you care about?"
"Who else isn't they?"
Zheng Qing snatched the towel in his hand, as if this would make it possible to hang the insects. Since the elves lived in Qingqiu Mansion, the comfort of living in the 403 dormitory began to decline significantly.
"Crow." The fat wizard answered this question with the unique acumen of journalists.
Zheng Qing was choked by this word.
It felt like swallowing a mouthful of dry black bread.
After a while, he sighed heavily: "Do you still remember the baby spirit I mentioned to you before? During class in the afternoon, I asked Lao Yao to help me with my palms, and he also said there was no problem... Jiang Yu asked the elders in his family to help me see it, but no problems were found."
"Isn't this very good?" Xiao Xiao raised his head in confusion, obviously not understanding what Zheng Qing was worried about. Because of this moment, the quill in his hand was immediately rushed by the black gem cat.
Zheng Qing glanced at the cheerful kitten and sighed again.
"Not good, not at all."
He tied the towel around his wrist, lowered his head to stare at the gradually rising palm of his hand, as if he saw a python strangling his prey, and looked at the target little by little: "—I was not so sensitive and suspicious in the past."
“To some extent, this is a kind of progress.”
Fatty Xin also moved his attention away from his manuscript and comforted his roommates: "According to the view of old-school wizards, suspicious wizards are excellent wizards... Just as you were a year ago, you were not suspicious, it was too stupid. Relatively speaking, if you were more suspicious, you would live longer."
Zheng Qing suddenly felt a little heartbroken.
And it's tied on both sides.
He let go of the hanged towel, shook, applied it to his face, and let out a long sigh: "I don't understand... the magic is so big, why can't we be far away from each other, and do our own magic research... Why do demons tease wizards and starry sky spy on the earth?"
"There will always be only one reason for this kind of thing."
Xiao Xiao put on his glasses and said in a sharp tone: "Because every wizard wants to touch the truth, but they choose different paths, and the resources in the world cannot support everyone to try all paths... So there are differences, differences create contradictions, conflicts break out, and conflicts break out... Then there is death, and then a new cycle of reincarnation."
"In addition, the plot of Muqiang in the wizard society is not something that can be solved by entanglement and self-infantness."
The fat wizard added from another perspective: "In a sense, there is no difference between wizards and lightworms. They are both phototaxial creatures. When we cannot create our own light, we will be attracted by other lights... Explained by the concept of dimensionalism, this is the natural gravity of high dimensions to low dimensions."
Zheng Qing did not expect that the casual complaint would lead to such serious discussion.
He is not in the mood to explore the philosophy of magic now.
Dongdong!
The familiar movement of knocking on the glass came from outside the balcony, which immediately attracted the attention of the three male witches.
Zheng Qing couldn't wait to squeeze over, hung up a towel, opened the window, and put a green paper crane into the room. The paper crane almost fell into Zheng Qing's arms.
He carefully picked up the wings of the paper crane and was stunned to see a small seal poked at the tip of the wings, with the words "safety".
The boy subconsciously looked out the window.
Although he could not see anything through the dark night, he knew clearly that there must be more than a pair of eyes staring at him under the night sky.
He couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly.
"Whose paper crane?" The curious voice of the fat wizard came from inside.
"My." Zheng Qing replied in a muffled voice, standing at the balcony door, but not in a hurry to enter.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Xiao obviously noticed the boy's hesitant expression holding the letter paper.
Zheng Qing read the letter several times, and finally couldn't help scratching his chin: "——There are two test notices, one is the 'registered talisman painter' and the other is the 'franchise talisman maker'. The notice said that the relevant subject assessment will be conducted on Saturday and Sunday, so that I can prepare in advance... But why are my examination rooms in the magic class classroom?"
If it weren't for the two assessment committees at the end of the notice, the Three-Box Sword and the official seal of the First University's Applied Magic Institute, he would have thought that someone was joking with him.
