Hunting High School

Chapter 183 The Story Of Augustus

Pass the priest in white cassock, and go up to the second floor of the mansion along the curved escalator.

This is a small study room.

The tables and chairs made of logs, the antique bookshelves, and the thick and dazzling collection of books on the bookshelves make the whole floor bathed in the fragrance of books.

Alpha students in white robes sat behind the table in twos and threes, quietly flipping through the books in front of them.

Occasionally, some curious gazes would glance at the red-robed wizard upstairs, and then they would quickly avert their gazes and immerse themselves in the boundless magical world again.

As Zheng Qing shuttled through it, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Although the four colleges have different ways of screening students, the characteristics of all successful students are the same.

No one can succeed casually.

Even in Alpha Academy, which emphasizes blood inheritance and the importance of Talent, students who can achieve something will go through the learning process of not putting down the book and forgetting to eat and sleep.

In this process, different colleges just focus on different directions.

For example, Jiuyou College pays attention to examinations, hoping that every student can lay a solid foundation and train a correct way of thinking; Alpha College pays attention to Talent, hoping that every student can ignite the sacred flame of thinking, and at the moment of learning, burst out Sparks of wisdom; Star Academy pays attention to practice, and hopes that every student can apply what they have learned, and truly integrate the use of magic into daily behavior and blood memory; while Atlas hopes that every student can seek truth Forge ahead on the road and never forget your original intention.

While thinking about it, the servant had guided Zheng Qing to the top floor of the mansion.

At the entrance of the stairs is a silver-white classical style vaulted wooden door.

Two servants in white robes stood erect on both sides of the door.

Several students are quietly queuing in front of the door, waiting for the opportunity to enter the door.

The servant who guided Zheng Qing upstairs went straight past the students in line, whispered a few words to the two waiters at the gate, and then waved for Zheng Qing to follow him in.

Zheng Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other students in the line in embarrassment, and followed with his head down.

But after a few steps, he was forced to stop.

A girl stopped in front of the two of them.

"We came first, why let them advance?" The witch blocked the door, lowered her voice, and glared angrily at the waiter guarding the door.

This witch is not tall, with pale skin, black short hair, dark green pupils, and high cheekbones. Judging from the appearance alone, it is not outstanding.

Zheng Qing looked at her quietly.

When he was baptized in the chapel on the first floor, this girl was in front of him.

He vaguely remembered that the witch's name was Louise Cody, and she seemed to be the heir to a manor.

"Student Zheng Qing has an invitation letter from His Excellency Augustus." The waiter looked at her gently without flinching: "If you have any objections, you can submit the corresponding appeal form to the Disciplinary Committee."

"If you have no objection, please do not obstruct our normal work."

The witch's slender lips pursed, she took a step back unwillingly, and gave Zheng Qing a hard look.

Zheng Qing smiled apologetically at her.

It's just that this kind of smile looks more like a provocation and mockery to her.

"Zheng Qing?" The witch looked at the young wizard, her tone full of gunpowder: "That Kunlun's genius talisman master that Arthur was talking about? What are the public-funded students from Jiuyou College doing in Alpha Fort!"

Before Zheng Qing could speak, the waiter at the side had already bowed slightly, motioning for Zheng Qing to enter the door.

"this way please."

"I'm sorry." Zheng Qing said something vaguely, then passed by the witch, and followed the waiter into the lounge.

The silver-white carved wooden door was then closed tightly again, blocking the angry witch outside the door.

Compared with the first two floors, the area on the third floor of the club is slightly smaller, and the figures coming and going are a little sparser.

[In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, Yeguo Reading, yeguoyuedu install the latest version. 】

The layout of the entire floor is semi-open. Looking around, there is no tall decoration in the field of vision, and the space seems much wider.

The ceiling, walls, and even the carpet under the feet are all silver and white, which completely matches the color of the Alpha Academy.

A series of low square tea tables are placed unevenly in this space.

Creamy soft leather low-back sofas surround each coffee table.

Lush ferns with wide branches and leaves are planted between the sofas as a natural barrier, breaking out small compartments for 'gentlemen'.

Among these plants and sofas, there are exquisite brass telescopes, slowly rotating armillary spheres, simple and heavy sundials and moondials, and occasionally a few gorgeously dressed flower sperm, carrying straw baskets, among the leaves Jumping around.

The servant guided Zheng Qing to the depths of the room, in front of a tea table next to the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The tall plants around this coffee table are extraordinarily abundant, almost completely separating it from the rest of the room, making it very quiet.

A wizard was half lying down, burying most of his body in the milky white low-back sofa.

There was a crystal clear crystal ball on the coffee table in front of him.

"She is the head of the Foreign Affairs Department of the First University Student Union." The wizard lowered his head and fiddled with the crystal ball in his hand, his voice seemed a little tired: "Destiny is so magical... When you don't realize it, everything is decided for you .”

"What?" Zheng Qing was a little confused.

He looked to the side as if asking for help, but found that the servant who led him had disappeared without a trace.

When he turned his head, the wizard had stood up and held out his hand to him.

"Zheng Qing." The other party smiled, held Zheng Qing's hand, and shook it very positively: "Nice to meet you."

"Your Excellency Augustus?" Zheng Qing smiled nervously: "This is my honor!"

The alpha boss has cool hands, and they are forgiving.

Of course, he is also very tall.

The long golden hair is as bright as the sun outside the house, and the azure blue eyes are comparable to the sky that accommodates the sun.

Compared with this handsome appearance, Augustus's attitude is very gentle, even casual.

"Would you like some coffee? Ambergris, phoenix nest, musk... or pure black coffee?" The alpha boss fell down on the sofa again, holding up the crystal ball, staring intently at the fine light on it To the point, the tone is very casual, as if chatting with a close friend: "There is a goblin barista who has served for 500 years in the Blood Friends, and the coffee he brews is very authentic."

A scene of an old, ugly goblin with a rag around his waist, an ugly face, weakly turning the hand grinder, and grinding the coffee beans into dry powder immediately appeared in Zheng Qing's mind.

"Thank you!" The young public fee student shook his head resolutely: "I'm still used to drinking green tea."

"Pure nine people." Augustus didn't take it seriously, chuckled in a low voice, snapped his fingers, and filled in the drinks ordered by the two of them on the menu handed by the elf.

Zheng Qing sat on the sofa hesitantly, uneasy.

In the end, he decided to cut through the mess quickly and deal with the things to be done today first.

"I'm very sorry," he looked sincerely at the blond wizard in front of him, and said quickly, "I need to take the recruitment exam for the student union on Friday night, so I can't attend the welcome dinner of the Hemophilia... Really, I'm very sorry."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Augustus waved his hand casually, raised his head, and looked at the young public fee student with a smile: "As I said just now...fate is always very magical, you never know that today will pass you by. Will his figure become a nightmare in your future vision?"

Zheng Qing smiled in agreement.

Although he couldn't understand what the big guy was talking about at all.

"On the road of pursuing the truth of magic, we must learn to control ourselves." Augustus suddenly changed the subject and told a short story to Zheng Qing:

"When I was young, I was by a lake once and saw a murloc tie a snake to a stone and peel off its scales one by one."

"That murloc giggled strangely."

"The snake hissed and screamed."

"I couldn't bear the righteousness in my heart, rushed up, killed the murloc, and freed the snake from the stone."

"I think the snake should appreciate me."

"However, the snake turned its head around and bit me back."

"I know, it's an instinctive move...it's too scared, it's been tortured for so long...it's pure reflex."

"But I still killed it."

"Because I'm also conditioned reflex... As I said just now, it bit me."

"I regret this very much."

"Not only do I regret saving a snake, but I also regret killing a snake, and I also regret killing a murloc." Augustus looked at Zheng Qing with deep eyes: "I killed two lives in exchange for A scar, and a long regret."

"What could be a more failed move than this?"

Zheng Qing listened to the story in silence without making a sound.

He always felt that there was a deeper meaning hidden under the words of this alpha boss.

"I heard that you made a deal with Soprano?" Augustus changed the topic again: "Then you must be careful... That man has never done a loss-making business."

"Friedman is a bit stupid...but he's a good guy. Nothing too much happened between you, which is very good."

"If you have any trouble, feel free to write to me."

Hearing these bland remarks, Zheng Qing felt horrified, wishing to poke his ears deaf.
