After staying at the school for almost a week, Zheng Qing also roughly understood the school's regional divisions.
The entire First University is located on an isolated island deep in the ocean. No one knows the location of this island. The wizards simply call this island 'Buji Island'.
Zheng Qing didn't know how big the island was, but he knew that there was a river on the island and an endless dense forest. Standing on the balcony of the dormitory, he could still see the towering peaks and rolling hills in the distance.
The name of the river is Jingjing River. It is winding and winding. Even senior students cannot tell how long this river is. Linzhong Lake in Jiuyou University is formed by a tributary of the Jingjing River.
The forest is called the Silent Forest by wizards. Originally, this forest had no name. It is said that there are many terrifying magical taboos hidden deep in the forest. Every year, there are many wizards who break into the forest and remain silent. The wizards who are lucky enough to escape will be completely speechless.
, so it is called the Silent Forest in awe by wizards.
For a while, the Umbrella Conference discussed the complete destruction of this black forest, but the proposal was unanimously rejected at the Grand Wizards' Conference. At the same time, the Grand Wizards' Conference also passed the Silent Forest Protection Act in the form of a bill, which was finally finalized.
gave the forest its name.
It can be seen from the simple map on campus that the entire island is covered by a vast silent forest. On the map, except for the more detailed markings of the First University campus, the forest coverage is completely blank.
The campus is mainly divided into two parts: the first university public area and the college territory.
Every official member of First University can freely travel through the public areas of the university, including the First Square, the First Gate, the First Hall, the Hunting Ground, the Medicine Garden, etc.
The First Square, known as the ‘apron’ by old students, is located on a high ground on the west side of the island, while the majestic First Gate stands on the edge of the high ground.
This is the only coordinate that all maps and external information can use to determine the location of First University. It is also the entrance to First University. This kind of cautious security is a tradition that First University has always adhered to.
When students enter the first gate, they will be transferred to the first hall. This transit hall, which serves as a hub, has eight doors and serves as the second line of defense to protect the secrets of the school.
The above are all public areas of the school, areas shared and maintained by several colleges.
The college territory is different.
Each college and research institute has its own territory on Phuket Island.
In most cases, only members of the corresponding colleges are allowed to enter these territories, and they carry the heritage of each college.
The territory of Kuyu Academy is called "Kyuyu Academy"; the territory of Alpha Academy is "Alpha (Castle)"; the territory of Atlas Academy is "Atlas (Pyramid) Tower"; the territory of Starry Sky Academy
It's called the 'Starry Sky Rubik's Cube'.
First University has deployed countless powerful defensive formations and guard spells around each territory to protect students from the erosion of the Silent Forest.
Different territories, and between territories and school public areas, are connected to each other through some magical passages.
These passages may be a small, inconspicuous door;
It could also be a winding staircase;
It could also be a long corridor.
Just like the passage connecting the Xihuayuan boys' dormitory and the school working committee office building, it is a remote corridor.
Now, Zheng Qing, Xiao Xiao, and Zhang Jixin are walking in such a secret corridor.
In the first class on Monday morning, Professor Yao, the counselor of Astronomy Class 08-1, handed the school’s penalty notices to several freshmen.
Article 3 of the notice clearly stipulates that the new students involved need to report to the school working committee within a week and accept subsequent punishment tasks.
This punishment weighed heavily on the minds of Zheng Qing and others, making them uneasy for a whole week.
No one told them what tasks they would face.
Professor An on the pedestrian street once mentioned some punishment tasks, such as going to the Baicao Garden to weed and remove insects, or sorting out books in the Shushan Hall, and maybe cleaning up the mud at the bottom of Linzhong Lake.
But Fatty Xin swore to Zheng Qing that his relatives' friends' children once served on the school working committee, and these punishment tasks were not as simple as they seemed.
For example, it is difficult to distinguish between weeds and medicinal herbs in the Baicao Garden. If a precious medicinal herb is accidentally removed as a weed, the school working committee will seek huge compensation from the corresponding student;
For example, the corridor of Shushan Hall is like a maze, and freshmen can easily get lost in it. A freshman was once trapped in Shushan Hall for nearly a week!
As for cleaning up the mud at the bottom of Linzhong Lake, it is even more deceptive.
"Except for dangerous creatures such as fishmen and water ghosts, the odor produced by the mud will stay on the school workers for a long time." Fatty Xin pinched his nose with a look of horror on his face, as if he had smelled the strong smell emanating from Zheng Qing's body.
Smell: "If it were me, I would rather be hungry for a week in Shushan Pavilion than go to the bottom of the lake and be smelly!"
Thinking of this, Zheng Qing couldn't help but sigh.
I don’t know if I can apply to change the punishment arrangement. If I am selected to join the Baicao Garden, I will definitely not be able to afford the school’s precious herbs.
As for other options -
Zheng Qing pinched the gray cloth bag in his arms.
The bag contained enough dry food and water to last a month.
If you are selected to be admitted to Shushan Hall, or if you get lost in Shushan Hall, these dry food and water can help you survive for a long time.
He clutched his Dharma book uneasily.
I have been attending classes at Jiuyou College for five days, but the Dharma book is still blank.
Because he hasn't learned a complete spell yet.
All teachers will waste half of the class in the first week letting the freshmen introduce themselves, and then spend the remaining half of the class chatting with the freshmen, explaining the introduction of the textbook and the course schedule.
Except for Teacher Zhang from the Talisman class who gave a simple class test, the other teachers did not teach any knowledge!
The only reward is that everyone will know how to introduce themselves.
I don’t know if I need to introduce myself to the school working committee.
Thinking of this, Zheng Qing lowered his head and laughed muffledly.
Zhang Jixin, who was walking next to him, glanced at him doubtfully.
"Don't be distracted and pay attention to safety." Xiao Xiao poked Zheng Qing with his notebook from behind: "These corridors are not as safe as you think. Dangerous creatures often break in."
"Dangerous creatures!" Zheng Qing took a breath: "Where did the dangerous creatures come from! Why did they break in here!"
"Test subjects that escaped from the laboratory, wild monsters that escaped from the hunting ground, mutated spiritual beasts, and even some evil spirits transformed from old corpses - you know, there is a small cemetery to the north of the school."
"As for the reason for breaking in, I don't know." Xiao Xiao took two steps and came to Zheng Qing, shaking his head and saying: "Maybe they are looking for a way out of the school, maybe they just smell the food.
Aroma. I’m not one of them, so I don’t know.”
The night breeze blew through the corridor.
The green leaves of the vines clinging to the corridor walls made a rustling sound.
The cold wind penetrated Zheng Qing's neck from behind, causing goosebumps all over his body.
Zheng Qing turned around.
There was not a trace of anyone in the deep corridor.
He took a breath and tiptoed to catch up with Xiao Xiao and Zhang Jixin who were not far in front of him, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.
