Monster Hunting High School

If the First University is like the sunshine at noon, brilliant and brilliant; the silent forest is like an eternal black hole, dark and deep; then Beta Town, this small town sandwiched between the college and the forest, is the color between black and white. Like the color of its streets, it's gray.

In the afternoon, walking on the bustling streets of North District, Zheng Qing had a deeper understanding of this passage in his mind.

As a famous "concave area", the North District of Beta Town has the largest group of jugglers in the entire wizarding world, and naturally also has the largest poor population in the wizarding world.

And nothing can best reflect this than the clothes worn by pedestrians walking on the street.

In school, most of the robes worn by students are made of ice silk, dragon skin and other materials. Some wealthy families may also use shark wadding and dragon skin as fabrics. But in the North District of Beta Town, these common ingredients are rarely used. As far as he could see, most of the clothes Zheng Qing could see were made of linen - regardless of men and women, young or old.

They were all dusty, rough, and prickly linen to the touch.

In First University, only some guys from Atlas College who advocated an ascetic life could tolerate this kind of material.

This discovery gradually silenced the marching three-person team. Especially when they were looking at the passers-by on the road, people from the North District were also looking at them with inquiring eyes - those eyes contained flinching and uneasiness, but also malice and prying eyes - these were not reassuring eyes. .

"I think maybe we should find a hotel in another area, right?" Fatty Xin lowered his voice and whispered his opinion to his two companions.

Zheng Qing immediately seconded the proposal.

Although he had never traveled far or had much experience before, he had read many history books in middle school and had a deep understanding of the moral standards of people under conditions of material scarcity.

"To be on the safe side, we really should change the district." said the young public-funded student.

"It's not a matter of safety or insecurity," Fatty Xin's face turned red as if Zheng Qing's words stung a sensitive nerve. "It's just a group of magicians, what kind of threat can it be... I think the environment here is relatively poor." , the smell is bad, and there is nothing delicious! ”

As he spoke, he pretended to pinch his nose.

Zheng Qing disapproved of his behavior, but it was not difficult to understand. For a wizard from the first university to admit that he feels guilty when facing a group of magicians, it is like letting a tiger show its timidity in front of a cat. It is ultimately a shameful thing.

But what the fat man said was not completely unreasonable.

Due to unbalanced development, the overall environment of the North District of Beta Town is indeed worse than that of several other districts. Along the way, the residue left after refining the medicine, pale and slender animal bones, and some indescribable pasty substances can be seen everywhere on the road.

The air was filled with a strange smell mixed with medicine residue, cat urine, and burning wood.

From time to time, there will be a little magician of seven or eight years old, wearing a dirty robe, holding up long and thin red rubber band-like things in front of the three guests and shouting, "Sir, buy an amulet! Buy an amulet!" Just one copper!"

Under normal circumstances, a copper coin cannot buy any amulets.

But seeing how pitiful these children were, Zheng Qing and others still spent some money and bought a few.

"Change district? Which district do you want to live in? Let's not mention whether you have such a big budget, but let me ask the simplest question, how do you plan to get there?" Xiao Xiao said this without any surprise, which shocked his two companions.

Zheng Qing thought about it for a few seconds and suddenly became frustrated.

As a subsidiary town, the overall size of Beta Town is not small, but it is very scattered. Three or five streets are winding and crisscrossed, intertwined along the Silent River and along the walls of Fort Alpha, like the keel of a big umbrella, supporting the entire off-campus business circle.

The top of the big umbrella is Alpha Castle.

The umbrella cover between the keels is a large silent forest, which serves as an isolation zone and fills in the different areas.

Especially in the North District, due to historical issues, the forest belt that isolates the North District is huge, which makes the entire North District seem much more remote. Except for the porch system of First University and the Silent River Pier, there is no other passage in the North District that connects to other areas of Beta Town.

In other words, the idea of ​​changing residence proposed by Fatty Xin had already died before it was put into practice.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qing looked up at the doctor to see if he had any other insights, but saw Xiao Xiao holding the 'red rubber band amulets' he had just bought and mumbling something.

"What are you doing?" the young public-funded student immediately forgot his question and asked curiously.

"We are testing what effect these amulets have and what kind of attacks they can withstand." Xiao Xiao replied seriously, "Magic items are regardless of high or low. Even a copper amulet should be worth a copper."

"Unless that's not the amulet in your mind." Fatty Xin sneered from the side. He held a 'red rubber band' and waved it in front of Xiao Xiao's eyes. "This is actually a frog's tongue, soaked in potion, and it doesn't Are there really some magic patterns engraved on it... Old people often say that frogs have broken mouths, so cutting off their tongues and hanging them on the body can resist the attacks of those long-tongued women. But I have always believed that this statement is not magic. Standard testing can only be regarded as superstitious to a certain extent.”

Fatty had investigated the North District several times before, so he knew the situation in this area quite well.

After listening to his explanation, Zheng Qing twisted the 'red rubber band' tied around his wrist. I wonder if it was due to psychological effects. After Fatty Xin explained, he always felt that the rubber band was full of greasy. , a vomiting feeling.

He had the urge to cut off his own wrist.

"Since you know so much about North District, why did you ask that stupid question just now?" The young public-funded student tried hard to divert his attention with other topics. So he criticized Fatty Xin's previous proposal to change his residence.

"Oh, that." Fatty Xin disagreed and raised his stubby index finger and shook it, "I used to go to and from the North District when school started. The campus access was open almost all day, and I never worried about accommodation issues... …When have you ever seen me living off campus?”

Zheng Qing ignored Fatty's answer.

Because he finally couldn't stand the greasy feeling on his wrist anymore, he felt that he needed a torch now to burn this so-called amulet into ashes.
