Monster Hunting High School

"Compared to you who are the proud ones who have actually passed the exam and entered the First University, my talent is not that outstanding. You have been helping me with the study of talismans, so you should understand this... In fact, in the past hundred years, Over the years, the percentage of gypsy witches making the cut has been getting smaller and smaller.”

"Three hundred years ago, we could send a delegation of hundreds of registered wizards to attend the collective meeting of the Wizards Alliance; a hundred years ago, it was difficult for us to send a delegation of even thirty people... Now, no one knows about witches It’s been a long time since a representative of the group appeared in the Wizards’ Alliance.”

"As far back as I can remember, most of the gypsy witches in the tower have spellcasting skills below those of registered wizards. There are even many magicians. It's just that we have mastered some unique skills in our long history, so we are able to do it now. They can barely pass on in such an environment... In addition, the ancestors reached an agreement with the Wizards Alliance a long time ago, so they can still stay in the tower and will not be sent to the north area of ​​Beta Town. "

“But it’s getting harder and harder.”

Elena turned her back to Zheng Qing, looking at the sparkling Linzhong Lake in the distance, staring at the small white tower in the center of the lake, her voice became thinner under the breeze: "I don't know if you have I have been to the North District of Beta Town... Grandma said that if our witch group continues like this, everyone will live in the North District of Beta Town in less than fifty years."

Zheng Qing took a deep breath and said nothing.

The North District of Beta Town is the slum area of ​​Beta Town. It is also the largest concentration of magicians in the wizarding world. There are also many wizards whose spellcasting skills cannot meet the requirements of the alchemy factory, and they also live there quietly - because of the "Wizard Code" Due to restrictions, these wizards with weak magical powers are prohibited from contacting Baiding's world at will, which also makes it difficult for them to improve their lives.

A few weeks ago, Fatty Xin did an exclusive interview with the North District of Beta Town, and he was depressed for more than half a month.

"...Ragged clothes, dirty faces, skinny children, and old people huddled in the corner gasping for breath." A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of the Gypsy Witch's mouth: "We often say that there is nothing that magic cannot do. But in fact, poverty and wealth, talent and mediocrity, there are too many things in the world that cannot be eliminated even with magic."

"The rich have a field of hope, while the poor have no place to stand... This is a problem of the system." Zheng Qing cleared his throat and responded in a low voice: "Human society is originally a selfish society, and we cannot expect everyone to have a thorough understanding. , giving to the world.”

Perhaps the conversation between the two felt a bit heavy.

The Gypsy Witch was silent for a moment, and then spoke, talking about what she was doing again: "... Regarding the decline of the witch group, some people speculate that we overuse magic such as divination and channeling, and have been rejected by the will of the world. Change In short, it is a punishment from God. Of course, more people believe that the decline of the witch group is only due to our increasingly closed inheritance environment compared to the outside world. "

"So, this year we were sent over. Everyone was pinning their hopes on us."

"But even with three more months of preparatory courses, our study progress still cannot fully meet the requirements of the First University. If we follow this level, we will definitely not be able to pass the examination for registered wizards in four years."

"So I had to find another way out."

As she spoke, the witch weighed the marble railing in her hand, held it flat in front of her, and said softly:

"When I was very young, with the help of my grandma, I channeled a mysterious being from another world. According to him, he was the moon god of a certain world, and his broken body was suppressed deep in the campus of First University. ”

"He promised that if I liberate His true body, He will grant me the glory of a saint. I estimate that it is approximately equivalent to the level of a senior registered wizard. For me, it is enough..."

"You agreed?" Zheng Qing finally couldn't help but interrupted the witch with a somewhat anxious tone: "Although I don't know much, Xiao Xiao once warned me repeatedly, 'Don't talk to people who can't see their brains.' Don’t mention any contracts you made with them!”

"Do I look that stupid?" The witch glanced at him and finally showed a smile: "What Dr. Xiao Da said is absolutely correct. However, I did not reach any agreement with him."

As she spoke, she raised the pillar in her hand and murmured: "But that doesn't mean I can't do something."

Zheng Qing stared blankly at the pillar, thinking about the meaning behind the witch's words, but soon gave up. Magic represents infinite possibilities, and no one knows what methods the witch group that has been passed down for thousands of years will use to treat a sealed god.

But he felt that Elena still had a very crucial question that she hadn't clarified: "So...why do you look so similar to Him?"

"This is the prerequisite for channeling." Elena explained patiently: "Character, appearance, bloodline, etc. If you want to communicate with a certain existence in the dark world, you must meet certain conditions. The requirement of existence... In other words, just because we look similar, we can build a channel in the dark. "

This statement is a bit mysterious, but Zheng Qing has also seen even stranger magic requirements, so it is not difficult to accept it. Perhaps this is why the magic of gypsy witches is difficult to promote on a large scale.

"Put it away first." Zheng Qing sighed, stared at the railing, and muttered: "Anyway, you are running around with this guy, what if it breaks and he really runs out... …The school should have sunk it in the deepest part of the ocean.”

"You don't really think that the true body of the Moon God is sealed in this column!" Elena couldn't help laughing.

Zheng Qing touched his head and smiled awkwardly.

He did have this thought just now - and he was still thinking in his heart that the wizards were so unreliable that they casually placed such things that suppressed the gods in a rest room. If it was his arrangement, It would surely sink that terrace into the deepest part of the Mariana Trench.

"There is a big demon king sleeping in the Mariana Trench. If you follow your ideas, the big demon king will be very grateful to you." The witch smiled and put away the railings, and explained at the same time: "This marble was once stained The blood of seventy-two elves, so the wizard used magic to carve the terrace and used the magic circle to collect their spirits. "

"I just want to try and see if I can borrow His blood to improve my psychic skills."

Zheng Qing showed a somewhat surprised expression and nodded repeatedly.

Although he felt that the witch's final explanation was a bit vague, it didn't matter. After all, he knew more about her than anyone else.

This is a very good progress.
