"I think that's good. ”

When Zheng Qing vaguely mentioned to Lin Guo the hidden dangers brought about by the 'chaotic time', the little male witch replied with such a sentence.

The two of them stood at the gathering place of the patrol on the shore of the lake, blowing a cold wind, and the atmosphere seemed a little stiff for a while.

In late autumn, the temperature is already a little low, and although the lake can slightly affect the surrounding temperature to some extent, it is still powerless against the cold wind that sweeps across the lake.

"It's getting cold...... the young student smiled dryly and changed the subject, as he stuffed the pile of materials in his hand back into the gray cloth bag, and then wrapped the fine velvet cloak on his body a little tighter.

Lin Guo also seemed to be a little overwhelmed by the slightly awkward atmosphere between the two, and bluntly agreed: "Fortunately, the school issued a coat...... It's warm to wear. ”

As the time slowly slipped into winter, patrolling, especially at night, became a chore. For this reason, the school committee specially equipped each patrol wizard with a warm coat and cloak. It's just that these 'overalls' are stored in small cabins by the lake, and they can only be worn when patrolling.

Zheng Qing nodded and did not continue the previous topic.

Perhaps a bit presumptuous, he thought to himself that time and soul were two very private areas for any wizard. We should change to a warmer environment and a more relaxed way to talk to Lin Guo about this.

"Anyway, I think you should talk to the professor. In the end, the young public-funded student did not give up: "Any professor can do it." ”

Lin Guo's face softened slightly.

He could still feel the concern in Zheng Qing's tone.

The little wizard grimaced and nodded imperceptibly.

......

......

When all the members of the patrol team arrived, a middle-aged school worker took the place of the old man of Verne, standing at the front of the team and loudly assigning today's patrol tasks.

The patrolmen exchanged heads and whispered to each other. Zheng Qing focused on capturing the individual words that leaked out of the mouths of those senior students, and didn't even listen to the name of the person in charge who took office.

So when the middle-aged school worker stood in front of him, the young public-funded student was speechless except for making his already somewhat pale face even paler.

"Sick?" Unexpectedly, the attitude of the middle-aged school worker was very gentle.

He glanced at the young wizard and added, "If you don't feel well today, you can go back and rest first...... The patrol mission that fell can be made up for another day. Fill out a form to report before you go. ”

When Zheng Qing heard the first half of the sentence, he was still a little excited and moved in his heart.

But the latter sentence immediately held back his imminent leave plan.

"It doesn't matter. The young wizard blew his nose and said in a muttered voice, "It's a little cold today, it's just a little cold...... You can stick to it. ”

And, I hate filling out forms. He muttered in his heart.

"Very good!" the middle-aged school worker patted him on the shoulder encouragingly, and then patiently assigned today's patrol tasks to the two freshmen.

It's no different than ever.

It is still the patrol area along the corridor along the western shore of Linzhong Lake, the most relaxed section of the entire night patrol.

There are no grass holes with feet entangled, and there are no bugs running around running around getting into your ankles. Just walk up and down the dry, well-groomed corridor, keeping an eye on the lake at most, and don't let the kappa climb the embankment with wild food.

"I've always wondered why kappa don't hibernate. When Zheng Qing once again poked this little thing full of fangs into the lake with his cane, he couldn't help but complain: "Whether it's a frog or a water snake, you know to stay under the warm water in winter...... Why are they so stupid!"

"Because they are going to the shore to bask in the moon. Lin Guo lowered his head and replied sullenly.

Perhaps the recent conversation had affected the little wizard's mood, and he seemed to be in a low mood all the time.

Zheng Qing sighed and glanced back.

The big black sheep raised by Lin Guo kicked its hooves and followed behind the two young wizards unhurriedly. Between the horns of the black sheep is a small fluffy fox.

It's Poseidon.

Before today's patrol, Zheng Qing finally remembered this incident, and hurriedly ran to the office building of the school working committee and filled out a bunch of forms.

It's just that the little fox obviously lived up to the owner's wishes, and was a little dissatisfied with being dragged out of the bed to bask in the moon on a cold day. So from the very beginning, lying on top of the black goat's head, with a 'non-violent non-cooperation' attitude.

"Do you know where Uncle Verne has gone?" the young scholar changed the subject, trying to divert the attention of the little wizard.

But apparently, the topic he chose made the atmosphere a little heavier.

"It is said that because of the accident of encountering wild demons on the night patrol last week, Uncle Verne was expelled from the school for dereliction of duty......" Lin Guo's mood became more and more depressed: "But I heard from the seniors that he is still the ferryman on the Silent River. ”

Regarding the situation of the old man Verne, Zheng Qing also heard a thing or two.

According to legend, the old man's resignation seems to be related to the game between the two vice principals - because the old man Verne is an elder of the school working committee and an important helper of Vice Principal Ruoyu, and belongs to the conservative wing of the school. Many of Vice President Shi Hui's reform plans were forced to be suspended due to the obstruction of these old people. Therefore, there is a lot of meaning behind this resignation.

Although Zheng Qing did not scoff at these rumors, he did not take them to heart.

He's just a pink freshman in the first year of college.

Even if you are lucky enough to be a public scholarship student, and then you are lucky enough to get a Merlin medal - that's it. For this profound and fierce school, it is just a relatively bright leaf on a towering tree.

There is no position or ability to influence whether the tree should grow higher or around.

Zheng Qing wisely ended the topic of the old man of Verne.

He made another disturbing discovery.

"Are there a few figures in the woods over there?" the young public student poked the little wizard next to him, and his voice was a little nervous: "Is it the student who escaped the night? Or is the fishman in the lake coming ashore again? should we alert the other patrols?"

Lin Guo squinted, looked at it carefully for a moment, and shook his head.

"It's the hunting team in the school that is training at night. The little wizard gave him a strange look: "The uncle just said it before assigning the task, because it will be the moon hunting soon, and all hunting teams will strengthen their night training recently...... Didn't you hear me?"

Zheng Qing smiled awkwardly and snorted.

It was impossible for him to admit that he had only listened to the old students next to him chatting nonsense, and had not noticed what the middle-aged school worker in front of him had said.

As he spoke, the night-training hunting team was already very close to the two of them.

Seems to notice the curious gazes of the two young patrolmen.

A tall, lanky wizard looked back at them, then whispered a few words to his companion before heading straight for the moment.

"Zheng Qing?" A few meters away, the tall and thin wizard greeted him and stretched out his hand to Zheng Qing: "Didn't disturb your patrol......

Zheng Qing hesitated, grabbed the other party's hand and shook it.

Although he looked a little kind, he confirmed that he didn't know the tall, lanky wizard in front of him.

"Hello, you're ......," the young wizard's tone was a little hesitant.

"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet. The tall and lanky wizard smiled brightly, "Introduce yourself...... My name is Deng Xiaojian, Deng Lin's Deng, the size of the small, the sword of the sword...... My friends call me 'Deng Zi'. ”
