Giving away the keys seems to be just a casual move by Professor Monteria.
After standing at the shore of Linzhong Lake for a few minutes, he calmly led the boy towards the office. However, in order to make up for the wasted minutes, he chose to take a shortcut.
For most students in the school, today's classes are over. There are many young people hugging each other on the lakeside lawn and forest paths. Zheng Qing followed the professor without looking away, watching him startle a pair of young people.
A pair of mandarin ducks, for no reason, felt that the professor stood by the lake for a few extra minutes on purpose.
Soon, the trees in front of us began to become sparse, and the sunlight began to shine again.
“The weather is nice.”
The professor raised his head and glanced at the sunset, which was about to end, and sighed softly.
Zheng Qing was not very good at accepting such greetings, so he remained silent until he entered the office building. At this time, the building was busy, with students coming and going, professors who had not yet got off work, busy teaching assistants, etc.
Zheng Qing, who is both a teaching assistant and a student, met many acquaintances along the way and said hello a lot.
Professor Monteria's office is located at the top of the corridor on the fourth floor. There are very few people on this floor. Unlike Professor Yao, Professor Monteria's door does not have a doorkeeper, but is similar to his laboratory.
Door Knocker Beast.
After entering the door, the light suddenly dimmed.
Zheng Qing stood at the door for a while before he gradually got used to it. He looked around and was surprised to find that the room was unexpectedly simple. It was like a house owner who practiced "breaking away from home", except for a desk and two chairs.
Outside, there is nothing else.
There is no bookcase, no bonsai, no coffee table - Zheng Qing naturally does not expect to have a fruit plate, tea, and pastries - there are not many things even on the professor's desk, only a penholder, an inkstone, and a book that seems to have been turned over.
A hard-cover book that I have read many times.
When putting his homework on the table, Zheng Qing quickly glanced at the book. The name and pattern on the cover were a little blurry, and he could vaguely see the "blood" spirit and "Ashmore".
A few words.
Squeak.
The slightly harsh sound of the drawer being opened woke the boy up. He quickly looked away and stood up straight.
"Take a look at this thing. If you think it's okay, just sign it." Professor Monteria took out a stack of documents from the drawer, put it on the table, and wrote lightly: "——Originally, all seven of you should have
I signed it, but now... Of course, if you don’t sign it, it doesn’t matter, it’s up to you to decide.”
He shook his head and did not continue.
Zheng Qing realized almost immediately that the "seven people" he mentioned should include the other six qualified candidates. Sure enough, as expected, the professor didn't just come to him to send him homework.
After picking up the document, Zheng Qing immediately relaxed, because it was a standard silence contract, issued by Dan Hager, a highly binding version, and the binding content was the same as the one signed during the resonance test.
The details of the confidential content of the 'Giant Soldier' project are signed by not only the two deans of Fringe College, but also the three vice-presidents of the school.
No one can imitate the signature of the legendary wizard.
Just when he was about to pick up the pen to sign, Professor Monteria stopped him.
"Don't you have anything to ask?" The professor looked a little confused.
Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment.
"Well, it's not like there's nothing."
He tugged at the feathers on the quill in his hand, glanced at the densely packed small words on the parchment, and immediately gave up studying carefully: "But it's not a big problem... I remember that I signed it when I participated in the 'Giant Soldier' project.
There are a series of silent contracts, why do we still need to sign them today? Moreover, for this kind of thing, just let Captain Zhang Yu or Assistant Hilda inform me... I mean, they have always informed me before."
"Because it's different."
Professor Monteria glanced at the small green snake hanging on the boy's ear again, and slowed down his speech slightly: "The last round you participated in was the 'Edge Type 1' Titan Soldier test, and this round is the 'Special'
The configuration' of the Titan Soldier has a higher level of security. The members of the teaching assistant group are no longer within the scope of the permission."
"What special method?" The boy suddenly became interested.
"It's more powerful...it also consumes more wizards."
After the professor made a vague and concise summary, he changed the subject: "Originally, the reservation operator for this model was the only great wizard among the qualified ones. So before you sign, I must remind you that this project is more dangerous than
It was higher before. Do you remember what happened to the other qualified candidates? If you decide to participate in the new model experiment, you may not be as lucky as last time."
The other six qualified candidates who participated in the last round of trials all suffered varying degrees of lifespan depletion and life damage, including even a great wizard.
But this time the risk will be even higher.
This explanation is not difficult to understand, but what Zheng Qing is interested in is not this point, but the attitude of Professor Monteria. Because he seems to be the second professor to persuade him to withdraw from the Titan Soldier project.
The last one was Lao Yao.
But unlike Lao Yao's straightforward way of persuading him to quit, Professor Monteria faintly revealed a hint of letting him quit in spite of difficulties.
The boy stared at the parchment in front of him with a serious face, his brain spinning rapidly.
"But right now I'm the only one who's qualified."
After a long time, he looked at the owner of the office again with a sincere expression: "——I am a student of First University, a member of Jiuyou College, and also a member of Fringe College. Fringe College is a school that practices Jiuyou College.
The best example of the concept of 'justice'. I dare not say how many sacrifices I have made for this new college like other marginalized people, but I still want to make some contributions within my ability... and I have enough for the school...
Confidence. With the experience of the previous accident, I believe that with this new experiment, they will make a more complete plan."
The corners of Professor Monteria's eyes twitched slightly, as if he had not expected the boy to behave so innocently and enthusiastically. Similarly, the little green dragon hanging on Zheng Qing's ear also shook slightly, looking shocked.
appearance.
"It's not like there are no other qualified candidates." He explained very reluctantly: "You seven are the safest qualified candidates we have selected. There are still some other options..."
"Can they control the 'special configuration'?"
"The risk is higher ... if you're willing to pay some price."
Zheng Qing did not continue to ask what the price was, he believed that it would definitely be 'confidential'.
"In other words, if I am willing to take over this task, those wizards will not need to take greater risks, right?" He nodded seriously and signed his name in the blank space at the end of the parchment.
