When the excitement was over, the river became quiet again, and the onlookers returned to the cabin.

On the deck, in addition to the old boatman who was bracing the penny, there were only Zheng Qing and Yelena.

Zheng Qing was secretly happy in his heart.

"Did you duel Professor Trudeau?"

In the end, it was Yelena who broke the silence between the two and asked first.

At the end of last semester, because "Wand" included Zheng Qing in the new issue of the Grand Arcana list, Professor Trudeau, who originally occupied the title of "world", fell out of the list, causing the cautious professor to be very annoyed, and once claimed to duel with Zheng Qing, and the time was set for the end of the final exam.

It's just that the final exam just ended, Zheng Qing smeared oil on the soles of his feet, slipped his legs home, and naturally didn't go to the battle.

He didn't feel that his behavior was an escape—after all, one was a full-fledged professor employed by First University and a veteran registered wizard, while the other was a freshman who had just entered the school for half a year and hadn't even memorized the basic principles of modern magic.

Not being able to fight did not affect Zheng Qing's sense of honor in the slightest.

"I have always respected teachers, so how can I casually open the law book to the professor?" Zheng Qing said in a serious defense.

Yelena rolled her eyes and skipped the topic.

"I remember when you went home for the New Year?" said the witch and nodded to the ferry boat at her feet, "Why are you going on the boat today?"

The young government-funded students were very happy to be able to find an opportunity to chat.

"Been at home for two weeks and just went back to school yesterday afternoon. He crossed his fingers and explained carefully: "Because I am a publicly-funded student, the school requires us to complete a certain amount of public welfare work during the winter vacation, and I came to the school in advance mainly for this matter...... It just so happened that Xin Fatzi was going to make an investigation report on the current situation in the North District of Beta Town, and asked me to help, and I could also arrange my public welfare work in the North District......"

"Beta Town North District...... concave. The gypsy witch lowered her eyelids and whispered, "So, you're going to the North by boat today?"

"Bingo!" Zheng Qing didn't notice the witch's expression, and snapped his fingers happily.

"I've heard that the tricksters in the North District are very unfriendly to wizards, so it's okay for you to go like this?" reminded Elena again.

Zheng Qing patted the gray cloth bag on his waist indifferently, full of pride: "It's okay, we have a law book and a talisman...... Besides, no matter how unfriendly it is, it also belongs to the town of Beta, which belongs to the First University, and we can always ask the school for help. ”

The witch finally stopped saying anything, crossed her arms, and turned to look at the calm river outside the boat.

The atmosphere was silent for a few seconds, and Zheng Qing finally realized that he could actually ask questions.

"Why are you going on a boat today? Those are your companions. He tried to ask in a brisk tone, "But I don't think I've seen them in the school......"

"They're all international students of the Gypsy Witch Order," Elena explained with a smile, looking back, "It's just that they're not at the Nine Haves Academy...... The two tallest ones are from Starry Sky Academy, the skinny little one is in Atlas, and the prettiest one is in Alpha Academy......"

"You're the prettiest. Zheng Qing couldn't help but interrupt the witch's words.

Immediately, he realized his Meng Lang, and his cheeks immediately began to burn.

When the witch heard this, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and for a moment, Zheng Qing felt that the originally dark water surface had become much brighter.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and my kung fu is rising!" Elena stretched out her hand, patted Zheng Qing's shoulder appreciatively, and praised it generously.

Zheng Qing felt her heart pounding wildly by her.

"It's not sycophancy, it's true!" he replied resoundingly—this time, instead of a blushing reaction, he had a fluttering, middle-spirited feeling.

The smile on the witch's face grew brighter.

"Ahem......" An abrupt cough interrupted the small talk between the two young wizards.

Zheng Qing turned his head to look at the old boatman with a dejected expression.

"If you fall in love, go to the cabin and don't hang out on the old man's deck. The old man George Bernard Shaw said in a rough voice: "There may be evil demons in the next section of the waterway, you stand on the deck, be careful of being swept away by evil demons." ”

When Zheng Qing heard this, he changed color.

"Evil Demon?!" he pressed on the gray cloth bag around his waist, and his voice suddenly raised a few points: "There are evil demons near the school?!, are you kidding!"

Similar to him, Elena immediately tensed up and grabbed the wizard's arm.

This is not because Zheng Qing is timid or sensitive to demons, but because for wizards, evil demons are like oversized bed bugs, which will pollute the environment if left unchecked, and slap them to death and disgust themselves - even for demons, although evil demons have the word 'demon' in their name, the demons do not regard evil demons as their own kind.

If wizards pursue order and truth, and demons pursue chaos and depravity, then demons pursue more than the two.

They are redundant in this world.

It is a being that is rejected by all life.

There is no fixed form, no unified image, each evil demon has a unique concept, but all these concepts do not conform to common sense and logic.

A weak demon may be just a piece of code, a spell, without flesh and blood, worse than air.

Powerful demons can devour the starry sky, drain the river of time, and reverse cause and effect.

In the new world, this kind of life is also called "gods", "memes", "weird", etc., and some strong people will be called "old rulers".

Wizards initially classified Evil Demons as the same type of creatures because they had similar dark attributes to ordinary Demons. Of course, with the development of modern magical theories, wizards have come to realize that demons have an internal order, while evil demons have natural chaotic properties and do not belong to the same species.

However, on the one hand, the long-standing habit of classification, and on the other hand, both demons and evil demons are the enemies of wizards, so until now, most wizards, except for professional researchers, still confuse the two - except that in the eyes of wizards, evil demons are worse and more disgusting beings than demons.

"The first university has nothing to do, you want to visit the ancient gods have a place to go. George Bernard Shaw was a little unimpressed by the shock of the two young wizards: "Evil demons are not all that dangerous, and they are dormant most of the time, and they rarely bother with wizards. Let you stay in the cabin, just in case......"

Before he could finish speaking, a low chirp came from the end of the river:

"Quack ......"
