Monster Hunting High School

This year's Quan Ke Lai will be held on May 13th.

It happens to be Thursday.

This made Zheng Qing, who took five classes a day, very troubled for a while.

Fortunately, as in previous years, the Shui tribe still arranged the opening hours of the Wei market in the evening, saving Zheng Qing the trouble of asking for leave. Because the invitation letter from Quan Kelai was not subject to the school curfew, this time Zheng Qing did not follow the first wave of people into Wei City early like last year, but waited for the evening classes to end before leaving the school gate.

Evening classes end at nine o'clock.

When he arrived at Kelai Cove, it was already nearly a quarter past nine. The companions who were "waiting" for his invitation were clustered in a daze in front of the dead oak at the end of the cove, as if they had also turned into dead wood. .

Seeing Zheng Qing coming, those dead trees had just turned their eyes.

"I told you a long time ago that I won't finish class until nine o'clock..."

While Zheng Qing was picking up the armor and horse talismans hanging on his legs - in order to run faster, he had tied four armor and horse talismans - and at the same time preemptively complained about the arrival of several companions too early: "...you guys came so early to do this Well?"

"Observe." Xiao Xiao shook the black hard-shell notebook in his hand, his face expressionless.

"Boring." Fatty Xin drooped his eyelids and wriggled his cheeks. After noticing Zheng Qing's gaze, he took out a preserved apricot from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.

"Look at the witch." The red-faced wizard gave an answer that was completely different from his reputation.

Zheng Qing subconsciously took out an evil talisman and waved it in front of Zhang Jixin. His tone was a bit worried: "Are you possessed by an evil spirit? How could you say such bastard words! ... Although I think you are telling the truth. "

Zhang Jixin had a straight face and ignored Zheng Qing's weird noises. He just tugged on the dragon-skin fingerless gloves on his hands and cracked his knuckles with one hand.

It was me, yes. Zheng Qing obediently put away the evil amulet.

"I asked him to help look after it."

Xiao Xiao on the side explained: "-There were too many people who just passed by in one breath, and I couldn't observe them, so I asked the fat man to help look after the wizards, and the elders to help look after the witches... I just need to observe whether they used it before entering the market. Water repelling magic, and which type is mainly used.”

"Where are the observation results?" Zheng Qing suddenly became interested.

Xiao Xiao looked at him deeply: "As of 9:15, a total of 213 wizards have passed, including 152 wizards and 59 witches..."

Zheng Qing subconsciously raised his eyebrows when he heard this number.

"Did you miscalculate?"

He interrupted the doctor's 'analysis report' and smiled slightly provocatively: "One hundred and fifty-two plus fifty-nine is not enough for two hundred and thirteen... At this level, you still recommend me to learn arithmetic and divination? I was in elementary school. I can beat you with your math skills!”

The apologetic diviner pushed up his glasses and said calmly: "My calculation is correct, but I haven't finished yet... because the last two are Yin-Yang wizards."

No further explanation is needed.

Zheng Qing immediately understood the concept of 'yin and yang wizard' and couldn't help being a little dumbfounded. But thinking about the Rainbow Wizards who were trying to recruit him in the first place, it seemed very reasonable to have a few wizards of a particular gender in the school.

cough!

"so what?"

The wizard coughed dryly and asked nonchalantly: "——You have been counting for a long time, have you found any disturbing signs? Also, have these wizards eaten gillweed?"

He thought of the dispute in the dormitory a few days ago.

Xiao Xiao nodded slightly and did not answer Zheng Qing's question immediately. Instead, he asked: "You came all the way just now. Did you find any difference between this year's Quan Ke Lai and last year's?"

"different?"

Zheng Qing touched his chin hesitantly, looked up at the deep sky where the moon could not be seen, and his expression froze slightly: "Well, is this a protective barrier just outside Wei City? The organizer was not so wasteful last year... Or be careful."

"That's what I mean."

Xiao Xiao raised the quill in his hand with satisfaction and concluded: "The more than two hundred wizards we observed all used water-avoiding magic before entering the market. Among them, wizards mostly used gill grass, and witches mostly used bubbles. There are also very few people who carry charm disks or water-proof beads with them, but the price is too expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary people..."

"Why is there such a big difference between male and female wizards?" Zheng Qing was curious and finally realized that he had underestimated the 'reminder' of a legendary wizard.

Just looking at the reactions of the organizers of Quanke's visit tonight and the reactions of the wizards who came to visit the market, we knew that they had listened to Lao Yao's words deep in their hearts.

Xiao Xiao did not answer Zheng Qing's curiosity, but glanced at Fatty Xin.

The fat wizard sighed and shook his head: "Because gillweed is very unpalatable, and eating gillweed will cause gills and webbed hands and feet to grow. In other words, it will make you look ugly. Therefore, unless you have a unique aesthetic point of view, it will be very difficult to eat." Few witches choose to eat this stuff. However, gillweed is much cheaper than saton fruit, so wizards who pay more attention to practicality and cost-effectiveness will almost always choose this herb. As for the head soaking spell... it is maintained in the market. This spell is not easy, and only a very small number of witches who simply visit the market and do not stay in the market for too long will choose this kind of magic."

At this point, he noticed Zheng Qing's thoughtful expression, paused, and added: "Of course, the water-proof talisman is also a good choice, but the talisman's maintenance time is relatively limited, and it has no disguise effect..."

"Disguise?" Zheng Qing couldn't keep up with the fat wizard for a while.

"Do you think that in your current situation, you can go to the market fair and square?" Xiao Xiao asked a slightly pointed question, and then offered a solution: "I prepared a pickled gillweed for you. Eat it. In the future, your skin will turn into the deep indigo color of a fishman, and with the webbed hands and feet and fish gills, people who are not particularly familiar with it will probably not recognize your appearance..."

Zheng Qing's face was stupefied.

Taking the gill grass handed over by the doctor, he looked at the tangled indigo 'rat tail' on it and the greasy and wet feeling in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He had reason to suspect that Dr. Xiao Da was angry because of the "turtle shell incident" a few days ago, so he took revenge for personal gain.

But his revenge was very 'proper'.

Leaves people speechless.

He grimaced, pinched his nose, and stuffed the gill grass into his mouth.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind.

"Is everyone here?"

Jiang Yu greeted happily, Zheng Qing was so frightened that he didn't even have time to chew, so he stiffened his neck and swallowed the grass into his stomach. He choked with a ferocious expression, and the veins on his neck bulged.

He patted his chest, followed his breath, and turned around, and happened to see the witch standing not far away, wearing a dark red horse-faced skirt and hanging jade beads, looking at him with a beautiful smile and beautiful eyes.
