Monster Hunting High School

The ‘Earth Dragon Express’ is a means of transportation often used by wizards outside the school.

Similar to the Baitings' subway, it has no tracks. Instead, it shuttles through the earth's veins. It is transformed from the corpses of dead earth dragons through alchemy. It has many advantages such as ease of use, large transportation capacity, cheap freight, wide reach, and high speed. advantage.

In contrast, airplanes require the construction of huge airports, which are inconvenient to get on and off the plane and are too eye-catching; while the relatively secretive clock system is expensive and has limited carrying capacity.

Therefore, the young wizards of the Forgiveness Hunting Team followed the local customs, and under the guidance of Senior Three-Chased Sword, they quickly adapted to this slightly unfamiliar means of transportation.

Soon, Zheng Qing discovered other advantages of this means of transportation.

For example, its box is very spacious, allowing passengers to stretch out their legs and lie down comfortably on the bench to take a nap. This is really friendly to the busy Sanjian employees. In the past week, Zheng Qing spent most of his time in I slept on the Dilong Express.

For example, its reimbursement is convenient. The hunting team only needs to put the ticket stub in the mission report, and receive the reimbursement from the Trident Sword in a blink of an eye. In comparison, using the large clock system, the reimbursement process seems long and cumbersome. When submitting relevant documents, you also need to fill in many head-scratching details such as the time to the minute, the number of transfers, whether there are "hitchhikers", etc.

For another example, the meals provided by Dilong Express are very rich.

From beef jerky, chocolate, candies, spicy strips, seaweed, melon seeds and other snacks, to pumpkin porridge, steamed buns, soy milk, sandwiches, eggplant boxes and many other fast food, to honey puffs, fried steak, grilled chicken, crispy onions Soup, moussaka, pine nut shepherd's purse dumplings and other dazzling delicacies are on offer.

If you are willing to spend a few extra coins, you can also order food and have the restaurant chef serve you exclusively.

Zheng Qing's head only stayed at the door of the box for a few seconds. A short goblin in a straight tuxedo suddenly appeared in front of him and greeted him in a sharp voice: "Dear guest, do you need anything?"

"Is there anything to eat?"

Zheng Qing rubbed his face and interrupted impatiently: "From morning to now, we have traveled half of the world and haven't even had anything hot to eat! We are starving to death!"

The goblin took out a pocket watch from his breast pocket, opened it, looked down at the time, and his pointed nose almost poked into the glass case. After a long while, he raised his head with a look of embarrassment on his face: "But sir... "

"I know it's past meal time, but you can order food on the Dilong Express, right?"

The wizard popped out a silver coin with his thumb, and the short goblin reached out to catch it with lightning speed, grabbing the coin that was still rolling in the air in his hand.

"Of course, sir, of course, the Earth Dragon Express will never disappoint its customers!" The goblin steward quietly stuffed the silver coins into his pocket, and his tone suddenly became a little warmer: "It's just that the chef's cooking speed will be slower. It’s a bit slow. We still have some frog juice, French fries and crab burgers on standby. Do you think that’s okay?”

"Any other drinks?"

Zheng Qing felt a headache when he heard the word 'frog juice': "Green Bee or butter beer will do...it would be even better if there is orange juice!"

"And clear water." The flight attendant politely rejected several other options.

"Then..." Zheng Qing looked back at the companions in the box and nodded slightly: "Then, five crab meat patties, five boxes of French fries, and five glasses of water."

When he turned around again, the flight attendant had already lifted the huge tray in front of him, and very considerately calculated the price for the young public student.

"Chenghui has one golden bean, four silver horns and five copper coins."

The short goblin, with most of his head covered by the tray, reported precise figures in the blink of an eye: "French fries and crab burgers cost a silver dime each, and a cup of water costs a copper penny."

Zheng Qing called the fat wizard to come over and take the tray.

"Can the earth dragon run any faster? We are on official business and in a hurry!" The fat wizard asked in a rough voice as he took the tray.

"No, sir." The goblin's ears were pulled back in displeasure, and he replied stiffly in the usual polite voice of service staff: "At this time, the Earth Dragon Express is traveling through the Paracels Sea Rise. Between the earth veins, no matter how fast you go, you may crash into the territory of the Siren King... You don't want to be someone else's dinner."

The last sentence is somewhere between a joke and a mockery, it all depends on how the listener interprets it.

Zheng Qing, with quick eyes and quick hands, pushed the fat wizard back into the box, and at the same time stuffed the one golden bean, four silver horns, and five copper coins he counted into the arms of the goblin steward.

"Thank you." He nodded slightly.

"Welcome to continue using the Dilong Express exclusive service!" The short goblin put away the gold given by Zheng Qing, bowed happily, and a puff of green smoke rose from the soles of his feet before disappearing from everyone's sight.

"Bad review!"

The fat wizard shouted angrily behind Zheng Qing: "I'm going to write a 500-word negative review for it! I'm going to write a report criticizing Dilong Express for its poor service awareness! You shouldn't use these snobs as waiters. !”

"Don't argue with a goblin."

Zheng Qing felt relieved and turned to look at Xiao Xiao: "Doctor, please do the math. Can we find the one-eyed old crow when we return to school this time?"

The one-eyed crow he was talking about was the crow that was captured by Xun Sin along with the two-headed ogre in last year's trial. Because it was once an elder of the ogre tribe and was cursed with transformation, after the trial, It was taken away by the old man Verne.

This time, after excusing the two accidents, he decided to talk to the one-eyed crow to see if he could find any new clues.

"have no idea."

Xiao Xiao grabbed the quill and concentrated on calculations on the parchment. He replied without raising his head: "After all, almost half a year has passed. The crow has most likely been lifted from the curse with the help of the school and thrown back into the black prison; There is also a chance that he will be put into a laboratory that studies shamanic transformation... There is only a small chance that he will still be a crow. "

"Then why are we rushing back to school?" The captain of the Exoneration Hunting Team asked with a mouth full of burgers and a confused look.

Xiao Xiao finally raised his head, glanced at Zheng Qing, grabbed a burger from the tray, and took a bite.

"When the investigation reaches a dead end and there is no suitable direction, you will never go wrong by looking through the clues from the beginning." He swallowed the burger in his mouth with difficulty, picked up the water glass, and shook his head slightly: "Spend money indiscriminately... a glass of water , we can just write a spell, why waste those five coppers?"

"I don't want to open my Dharma book because of five coppers." Dylan ate his dinner slowly, the knife and fork in his hand clinking on the dinner plate: "That would be more wasteful."
