The figure of the sun has disappeared behind the high walls of the school.
There was only a faint light left in the sky.
The night wind blew across the lake, and the water waves spread lazily.
The large fiery red birds that had been resting on the lake began to move. They pulled their necks out from under their wings, shook their heads, and slowly vibrated their huge wings.
The breeze blew through the treetops, blowing down a few remaining leaves.
The wind by the lake is a bit cold.
Zheng Qing was also wearing summer short-sleeved clothes under his robe.
He shivered, took out a towel from the gray cloth bag, and covered it on top of the cardboard box in his arms.
The two freshman teams have not yet left the lakeside.
Nicholas is carefully examining the bodies of several new students. In his opinion, any new students who are too close to the fish-men will be exposed to the evil radiation emitted by the fish-men.
"This kind of terrifying radiation will cause your own magic to become imbalanced and affect your placement exams at the beginning of the semester." Nicholas warned sternly, and then gave each freshmen who passed the exam a mint hard candy: "Peppermint can effectively eliminate the poison of fishmen.
Evil radiation.”
Although Zheng Qing expressed doubts about this, he still accepted the examination honestly.
Because Xiao Xiao, who always loved to drop his book bag, did not object to Nicholas's inspection.
Not far away, another freshman advisor was still nagging at Liu Feifei for being clumsy.
The girl holding the cobra stood there pitifully, her eyes red.
"She's not stupid, she just doesn't know what's going on." Nicholas walked over and reassured: "The freshmen don't understand this kind of thing, just explain it clearly."
The freshmen around them thought that this tutor was a bit of a fuss, and they all agreed upon hearing this.
Liu Feifei blinked and tears began to flow down.
Several girls hurriedly came to her side, took out tissues and handkerchiefs, and repeatedly comforted her.
Another old student glanced at Nicholas angrily, then raised his eyebrows with a weird smile on his face.
"It turns out to be Senior Nicholas!" His tone stretched out the word "senior", and his tone was full of teasing: "It seems that senior has a deep understanding of this."
After that, he touched the black trim on the sleeves of his robe, raised his head, snorted coldly, ignored his new life, turned around and left.
The freshmen were silent and looked at Nicholas cautiously.
Nicholas spat viciously into the lake, rubbed his hands, and said nothing.
Several cooing calls came from the water.
Zheng Qing followed the reputation and went.
A frog jumped out of the lake and jumped onto a large bluestone on the shore.
It opened its mouth, croaked twice, and then raised its weird voice to sing a ditty:
Quack, quack.
A mouse sneaks ashore
The three old men were so stupid that they couldn't see
Quack, quack.
The three old men were so stupid that they couldn't see
Gua…
A black shadow suddenly bounced up, interrupting the frog's aria, and swallowed the noisy amphibian creature down to its bones.
It’s Liu Feifei’s cobra.
Zheng Qing was stunned as he watched this slippery pet stick out its tongue happily and swim back to its little master.
Liu Feifei blinked her red eyes and wiped the unknown green-black liquid from the corners of the cobra's mouth with her wet handkerchief.
"Why don't your snakes go where they should?" Zheng Qing finally couldn't help but ask, looking at the long worm that was lazily slumped into a pile.
He was very curious about this big snake appearing deep in the campus.
Including the little fox Poseidon and Xiao Xiao’s old turtle, all the pets brought by the freshmen left their owners in the first hall.
Liu Feifei was the first freshman he saw with a pet.
"The little dragon was attacked by a demon. Professor An specifically allowed me to take it to see a doctor." Liu Feifei touched her pet's head and answered in a low voice.
The cobra that had just swallowed a frog raised its head docilely and rubbed it into the girl's warm hand.
Zheng Qing sighed and hugged the cardboard box in his arms tighter.
Not far away, several freshmen were still squatting next to the remains of the frog, discussing animatedly.
"That frog was singing just now! Do you understand what it was singing?"
“Isn’t it even more remarkable why we can understand frogs singing!”
"This is a magic university! It would be so disappointing if the frogs here can't even sing."
Zheng Qing was speechless after hearing this answer. He felt speechless.
It's getting late.
After lingering by the lake for a few minutes, Nicholas decisively announced that all the freshmen from both teams would follow him to complete the subsequent visit.
No one objects to this being the only way.
Nicholas no longer talked about the history of every stone in the academy to the newcomers, but he still couldn't help but show off the legends he heard from the corners:
"Shushan Hall is a good place for self-study. It's very convenient for self-study and information review. Although it's only five floors, it's very big inside. The doors are connected and the layers are interlocking. It's like a big maze, so you must do this before entering.
Be prepared."
Nicholas sighed, looking a little embarrassed: "I am not suggesting that you memorize the route, but I suggest that you bring enough food. Although the library is cleared of people every day, sometimes you will inevitably find your way into some relatively hidden small rooms.
Room, when the time comes, tsk tsk - the longest record in the college is that a student was trapped in the library for eighty days."
The freshmen were in an uproar.
They couldn't imagine why the library had become such a huge maze.
It is even more unimaginable how the student trapped in the library survived these eighty days.
The stone road extending from Shushan Hall makes a small bend at the lakeside and leads straight to the depths of the school.
Tall plane trees were planted on both sides of the road, and the broad tung leaves were densely covered together, forming a quiet tree-lined road. A few pairs of green eyes looked through the gaps between the leaves, quietly observing the new life passing under the trees.
Nicholas trotted along with Xinsheng without disturbing the residents in the trees.
Passing through the forest, a stretch of rolling hills appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The sky was dark, and Zheng Qing could only vaguely see some strange peaks and rocks in the distance, as well as dark woods.
"The screen wall belongs to the entrance courtyard, the main building belongs to the front courtyard, and Linzhong Lake belongs to the middle courtyard. And here," Nicholas said, waving his hand in an imposing manner to encompass the garden behind: "This is the backyard of the school."
"East Taoyuan, Xihua Garden, Yunfang Garden; they are all in this backyard."
"Your dormitory is in Xihua Garden. There are planting fields and spiritual residences between the gardens, where those rare herbs and your friends can stay safely. For more details, you will be informed in the future
You will gradually understand it as you study.”
"It's already late. Everyone has a hard time today." Nicholas paused as he looked at the freshmen in front of him.
Zheng Qing nodded in agreement, still feeling a little dazed in his heart.
The names of Hui Zi Ji Ji and San You Bookstore resurfaced in his mind, as if they had happened a long time ago.
