Monster Hunting High School

First University has four colleges and four research institutes.

These eight colleges and universities are located in every corner of Phuket Island. Their locations are secret and they are at the horns of each other, forming a huge protective circle. What connects them are long corridors of different shapes and styles.

However, when students from First University go to other colleges or graduate schools, most of the time they do not choose to take these corridors. Not only because they are winding and long, but also because hunting teams often practice in these corridors. If you are not careful, pedestrians who are just passing by will be involved in right and wrong.

Except for when the school holds activities such as hunting competitions and needs to withstand large-scale passenger flow, these corridors will be fully used, few people use them on weekdays.

More importantly, there are other channels for students to travel between different institutions.

For example, the nameless passages hidden in every corner of the school, or the ‘gates’ located in the first hall.

The first hall was the first formal building that Zheng Qing came into contact with after entering the school. The murals in the hall, the star lanterns floating in the air, the tall columns, etc. all left a deep impression on him.

But these are not the most important components of the First Hall.

The most important part of the first hall is the nine gates surrounding the first floor of the entire hall, which lead to the school's four colleges and four research institutes, as well as the first gate to the outside of the school. These gates are shortcuts to communicate with different colleges or institutes.

Of course, using these gates also requires certain procedures.

For example, the school approved the course schedule recorded onshore, the temporary pass issued by the school working committee or student union, and the approval note from professors, etc.

The note given to him by Professor Monteria that Zheng Qing held in his hand happened to meet this requirement.

Professor Monteria's laboratory, like Su Shijun's two-dimensional evolution laboratory, is affiliated with the Institute of Applied Magic. Zheng Qing had been to this research institute through the corridor of the Huanfu before, but this was the first time he took the convenient passage of the first hall with the approval slip in hand.

The situation behind the gate of the Institute of Applied Magic is completely different from that of Jiuyou Academy.

The gate of Jiuyou Academy is directly attached to the side entrance of the school. After passing through the gate, there is the screen wall in the front yard of the school. Behind the gate of the Institute of Applied Magic is a white, seemingly endless corridor.

Along both sides of the corridor, there are many small doors of different materials and shapes, leading to different laboratories or research institutes of the institute. Zheng Qing grabbed the note given to him by Professor Monteria and walked in the long corridor. Looking at the huge door locks on the small doors, he suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart - if he did not have the corresponding authority, he would definitely not be able to do it. Enter those little doors.

Along the way, the names of various applied magic laboratories are dazzling.

For example, the 'Druit Laboratory' that studies the role of magic in promoting agriculture; the 'Classic Element Analysis Laboratory' that studies traditional magic; the 'Equivalent Summoning Laboratory' that studies communication between different planes; and the laboratory that studies the unity of talismans and spells. 'Spell Equation Construction Laboratory'; 'Totem and Spiritual Field Theory Laboratory' which studies the spiritual world under the dimensional worldview, etc.

Zheng Qing originally planned to look for Su Shijun's 'two-dimensional evolution laboratory', but after searching for a long time, when he found Professor Monteria's laboratory, there was still no trace, so he finally had to give up.

The small door of Professor Monteria's laboratory is made of bronze, with many mysterious patterns and patterns engraved on it.

There is a brass plate hanging above the door, which reads "Montelia Laboratory". It is very different from the names of other laboratories and is very unique. However, there is a row of small letters under the name of the laboratory that says 'bloodline research and advanced magic text analysis', which explains to visitors the main research scope of this laboratory.

There is no guard at the door.

There is no door god or peach charm hanging on the door, only a head that looks like a bull's head and a copper ring biting into it.

Zheng Qing nervously grabbed the copper ring and knocked it hard.

After a long while, Tongniu opened his eyes with difficulty and glanced at the young wizard. The meaning was obvious - what's going on?

Zheng Qing hesitated whether to bow to this bronze bull head before speaking.

But soon, he remembered an old saying in "The Appearance of Officialdom", "It's not strange to be polite to many people." He raised his fists and sang to the bull head: "I've seen my predecessors. Professor Monteria asked me to do it at one o'clock in the afternoon. Come to the laboratory to find him, please let me know, thank you for your hard work!"

The bullhead blinked and opened his mouth.

A green tongue poked out from behind the door knocker and stretched it out in front of Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing immediately put the note given to him by Professor Monteria on it, rolled the green tongue gently, and rolled the note back into his mouth. But after hearing it crunch for a few times, the young public-funded student was worried that the bull's head would chew up the note, and the small bronze door slowly opened with a soft creak.

Zheng Qing took a deep breath, touched the gray cloth bag on his waist, and walked into the bronze door nervously.

It was similar to what he expected.

Behind the door is a large laboratory. Dozens of figures in black robes were buried in front of the spacious test benches, using various exquisite alchemy tools to conduct the experiments in front of them seriously.

Almost no one cared about the bronze door opening and closing, or the young wizard sneaking into the laboratory.

A slightly thin, gray-haired middle-aged man, holding a heavy notebook in his arms and holding a thick ocher-yellow brush in his right hand, shuttled in front of the test benches, occasionally checking on the work of the black-robed wizards. , occasionally splashing ink, lowering his head to record something in his notebook.

Zheng Qing stood behind the bronze door blankly.

No one paid attention to him, and he didn't know if he could interrupt Professor Monteria's work. He seemed a little at a loss for a while.

The gray-haired middle-aged man, Professor Monteria, after checking around the laboratory, happened to come to the bronze door and lowered his head to look at Zheng Qing.

Zheng Qing tried to muster up the courage and looked up at the professor whom he had not seen for a long time and whose name he admired for a long time.

Compared with the last time we met, Professor Monteria looked very tired now. Although the gray hair is a little shorter than before, it looks messy and not as neat as before. There were thick eye bags hanging under the deep eye sockets, and the dark yellow skin was stretched tightly on the high cheekbones. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest for a long time.

Only those blue-grey eyes were as sharp and deep as ever, making up the most dazzling part of the entire face.

Zheng Qing avoided his eyes with some uneasiness and focused his gaze on the professor's cheekbones. The dark brown spots on it clearly tell everyone who sees it that this body has lacked effective rest and care for a long time.
