To Zheng Qing's surprise.

The exhibition was crowded with visitors – he had thought that this kind of excessively 'literary' activity would have a small audience among young wizards. But this is not the case. In addition to the First University students wearing various college robes, there were also many off-campus wizards wearing all kinds of strange robes, and a large audience surrounded each work.

The young scholar tugged at the broad brim of his hood in front of his forehead, hiding his face a little tighter, lest some of the mad fellows rush up to him and shout, 'Draw out your Dharma book, boy!'.

Under the guidance of the paper crane, through the crowded crowd, Zheng Qing searched for a long time before finding Xiao Xiao and others under a huge landscape painting.

It was a fresh oil paint.

On the right side of the painting is an open plain. Above is a clear blue sky, scattered clouds, rolling green hills in the distance, flat river valleys in the distance, and long blue and white rivers that curve like ox yokes. The whole half of the oil painting presents a fresh and natural feeling.

On the left side of the painting is a mountain covered by heavy rain. The thick dark clouds and the torrential rain seemed to be connected, pressing from the sky to the mountains, gray, and giving rise to a sense of depression. The pine and cypress shrubs on the hilltop were struck crooked by the rainstorm, but miraculously exuded a verdant vitality.

A tall, thin, gray-haired old wizard stood in the middle of the crowd, telling everyone about the painting in an extremely slow tone.

“...... As you can see, the famous 19th-century wizard painter Thomas Cole constructed this astonishing work with his delicate brushstrokes. ”

In this painting, he uses subtle techniques to express some views on nature, witches, philosophy, and even beliefs...... In particular, I hope you will notice the contrasting styles on the left and right sides of the painting: tame and wild. ”

"This is an eternal topic in the wizarding world. ”

"Master Cole also hopes that through this painting, he will spread the word to all wizards who know or don't know him, as long as the composition and brushstrokes are appropriate, the 'static painting' can also express the connotation and vitality that is not inferior to the 'living art'. ”

Xiao Xiao held the notebook and moved the pen like a fly, as if he wanted to write down everything the old wizard said.

The fat man Xin was holding a newspaper, hehehehe, hehehe, hey,

"Why don't you wait for me at the door!" the young student grumbled, huddled between the two, poked his head out to glance at the doctor's notes, and muttered, "I thought the wizards' art fairs had a slightly different style...... I didn't expect it to be so boring. ”

"Boring?" The doctor stopped the brush in his hand, raised his head, lifted his glasses, and said in surprise: "Just with a little oil paint, you can express a wonderful artistic conception beyond the spell...... Why do you find it boring?"

Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth.

"Maybe it's because I don't have that much appreciation. The young scholar shrugged his shoulders and looked around: "I remember Dylan saying that you can see some paintings of well-known hunting teams in the hunting exhibition—the kind that moves—but what do I think of the paintings on display in this hall are static?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but add: "These paintings are just like the paintings I see in the world of ordinary people. ”

Maybe it's because since Zheng Qing squeezed in, this small corner has never been quiet. Several girls around who were listening carefully to the old wizard's explanation couldn't help but turn their heads and glared at several male wizards viciously.

The doctor eventually gave up on his intention to take notes quietly, and dragged his two companions out of the crowd again.

"To appreciate is to have the appearance of appreciation...... Now this hall is not just for the people of the first university. Xiao Xiao persuaded bitterly.

Zheng Qing blinked, and his right fist slammed into his left palm: "Fog grass!"

His low exclamation startled the doctor, but the fat man seemed to be unconscious, still holding the newspaper and laughing silly.

"Remember?"

"I've been feeling like something isn't quite right...... As soon as you say it, I react. Zheng Qing reversed himself, but his tone was affirmatively emphasized: "This is the first hall!"

The doctor didn't speak, just rolled his eyelids and glanced at the student through the frame on the top edge of his glasses.

There are multiple meanings in this gaze, such as shock, disappointment, and looking at a fool. If he could read so many meanings from a glance in normal times, Zheng Qing would definitely complain in various ways.

But now, he can only forcibly suppress the desire to complain in his heart, and instead repeat his own problems first.

"This is the first hall!" Zheng Qing repeated with some excitement, and said quickly, "How can people from outside enter the school? I mean, those outside the school...... I remember that the interviewer, Assistant Coach Thomas, said that the school's guardian array is open once or twice a year...... How did they get in?"

"They were invited. The doctor explained dryly.

"yes... I know they've been invited. I mean, if the Guardian Array doesn't open, how did they get into the school?"

"Invited in?!" Xiao Xiao repeated his previous answer again.

Zheng Qing looked at his gaze and felt a toothache.

"It's either you're stupid, or I'm stupid. The young student muttered, his tone a little weak: "Can you explain in a little more detail...... How did they get invited in......"

"The school sent out invitations, and then they took the invitations and came in. Xiao Xiao explained very cooperatively.

"Isn't the guardian circle closed?!" Zheng Qing was a little frustrated.

The fat man, who was originally holding the newspaper in a daze on the side, seemed to have finally noticed the dispute between the two roommates, raised his head extremely slowly, moved his eyelids, and showed a little displeasure on his face.

"Why do you suddenly care about this?" snorted the fat man.

Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally explained: "I thought of the kitten raised by Jiang Yu...... It was the little guy who was killed on the big bluestone by Linzhong Lake. ”

Xiao Xiao frowned and nodded.

"If, I mean, if people from outside the school can come into the school, does that mean ......"

"No, that possibility doesn't exist. Xiao Xiao finally knew how to explain the matter from that angle: "The guests who enter the school with an invitation letter are not the same as us...... Their actions are restricted by invitations. ”

"For example, the only guests who were invited to 'visit the exhibition from 6 to 9 p.m. on Monday' could only show up at 6 to 9 p.m. – they couldn't even step out of the gallery. ”

"Guests who have received the 'invitation to the opening ceremony of the school hunting meeting' can only follow the designated route to visit the display of some of the school's moon hunting, and then watch an opening ceremony performance in the No. 1 hunting ground. ”

"Su Shijun seems to be quite free. Zheng Qing questioned in a low voice: "She also brought a maid." ”

"Councilor Su is not only a member of the Moon Council, but also a senior researcher at the First University's Institute of Applied Magic...... Of course, since she advanced to the rank of Grand Wizard, her title may have been adjusted in a new way, and she may now be the director of a certain department. ”

Zheng Qing opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

Eventually, he chose to jump back to the previous topic: "...... What did the old wizard mean by 'living art' or 'static portraits' or something?"
