Monster Hunting High School

"——Time stamp is a philosophical concept."

"In the past, wizards often classified it as divination, because diviners often needed to trace the long river of time upstream to find information that was ignored by people. In order not to get lost in the huge and turbulent time, they usually Will look for clearer 'nodes' on the timeline as guideposts."

"For example, the starting point of the goblin rebellion against wizards in the nineteenth century, the fire that burned Fort Salem; such as the signing ceremony of the "Delhi Religious Peace Initiative" in 1939; and the 1,000th Grand Wizard Conference of the Wizards Alliance in 1945. The scene where the 536th meeting approved the "Measures for the Management of Wizard Behavior"... A powerful timestamp, like the rising star when a legendary wizard advanced to the ancient state, no need for additional intervention, staying in the torrent of time The wizard can see it by looking up; a weak timestamp requires a magic ritual. Under the witness of many wizards, the existence of this 'node' can be confirmed through emotional resonance... And the 'Salem Fort' I just mentioned Fire' is somewhere in between."

Having said this, Xiao Xiao took the ice-cold orange juice brought by the elf, took a sip, moistened his dry lips, and sighed contentedly.

After the award ceremony in the afternoon, the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team fled despite the curious eyes of the audience.

It's just that after receiving such a great honor, it seems inappropriate to disband each company on the same spot.

Zheng Qing simply took everyone to the pedestrian street, planning to find a restaurant to get together for a celebration dinner. But they obviously underestimated the influence of this 'First University Special Contribution Award'. Along the way, before they could find a suitable restaurant, they were already overwhelmed by waves of young wizards who wanted to join the Exoneration Hunting Team. .

Even the door of D\u0026K was crowded with newspaper reporters trying to interview them.

He had to waste a lot of invisibility charms and take advantage of the chaos to take everyone to the north area of ​​Beta Town. At this time, perhaps only the Sakura Tavern in Colma can bring them short-term peace.

It was just as Zheng Qing thought.

As the great sage of the North District, Korma has almost supreme authority in the North District. Not to mention the Gini Hut, even the entire Gu Diao Street is now much cleaner, with no trace of the pollution when Zheng Qing first came. confusion.

"What now?"

Watching the short wizard drink sip after sip, Fatty Xin, who was taking notes in a small notebook, finally couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed his juice, and urged: "——You said that the wizard used to classify it as Divination, now?”

Xiao Xiao stared at Juice walking away from him with dissatisfaction.

In the end, he spoke honestly again amidst the eager gazes of everyone.

“Now nature is a dimensional concept.”

He spread his hands with an expression that was easy to understand: "Since the birth of dimensional theory, many classical magic theories have been reinterpreted by dimensional theory, including timestamps. In dimensional theory, timestamps are a link between low dimensions and high dimensions. The singularity between them is irreversible. This new theory explains well why in addition to diviners, other high-level wizards who cannot divine can also observe the phenomenon of 'timestamp'..."

Zheng Qing stared absently at the juice in front of him, spinning it slowly.

Suddenly he raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiao: "——You just said a powerful timestamp. Everyone can see it when they look up. Isn't the Battle of Black Prison a powerful timestamp? Is it necessary to have two timestamps at the same time? ?”

"Very necessary. Because they are not on the same timeline."

Xiao Xiao raised his two index fingers parallel to his eyes and gestured: "Each world has its own timeline, and they are parallel to each other... Of course, when all the timelines of the entire universe are put together, in From a more macro perspective, it may be possible to see it as one, but that requires a very, very high perspective. Ordinary high-level wizards have no need and do not have that ability... And different timestamps can corroborate each other, such as ours The existence of this stamp confirms the authenticity of the stamp in the underworld, and the two of them are witnesses of the rising of the star..."

He raised his hand and pointed at the sky.

No further explanation was needed. The young wizards who had participated in that battle immediately realized that he was talking about the former Siren King who had advanced into the Ancient One in the Black Prison.

The small green dragon hanging on Zheng Qing's ear swayed slightly.

Zheng Qing also shook his head: "——There is something unreasonable about this explanation. Well, just like the star rising in the dark prison, fighting against the dark prison, these are two people on the same timeline. Timestamps, right? If they're just beacons to confirm location, is it necessary to have two different stamps at the same time?"

Xiao Xiao's eyes flashed with confusion.

Apparently he was aware of this minor flaw.

"Stop talking so much nonsense!" Li Meng interrupted the incomprehensible conversation between the two wizards. He leaned half of his body on the table and asked impatiently: "——I just wanted to ask you, you guys?" Did you see the name on that thing that looks like wax in the air?”

"What name?"

"First University?"

"Excuse the hunting team?"

Others were all talking and looked at Li Meng curiously.

"No, no, no, it's a name!" The little witch stretched out her finger and poked at Zheng Qing's location: "I can see clearly that there is Zheng Zha behind the Exoneration Hunting Team..."

She covered her forehead, tearfully looked at her cousin who had just flicked her, pursed her lips, and forced the nickname back: "...I mean, there is also the name of our captain on that 'poke'."

She sniffed.

"Really?" Zheng Qing blinked, trying to recall the scene in the first hall, but a little uncertain.

And the others were shaking their heads.

"Really! I didn't lie to you!"

Li Meng obviously thought that everyone thought she was lying, and immediately became a little anxious, and put down her hand covering her forehead: "...What's the point of lying about this kind of thing?"

"No one thinks you are lying." Jiang Yu pressed her shoulder, signaling her not to be too excited: "It's just that others didn't see it. For a wizard, it's not a very strange thing to see things that others can't see."

"Maybe it has something to do with her identity as a spiritual wizard." Dylan added slowly.

"Other people's names should also be on it, but you may not have noticed it." Zheng Qing didn't want to make himself stand out, so he quickly raised the juice in his hand and tried to end the topic: "... In short, this is the honor of pardoning sins, and it is also the honor of everyone! May God bless you!"

"May God bless you!"

Others also raised their cups.

"...Aren't you going to the class in the evening?" Zheng Qing tilted his head and quietly asked Jiang Yu, who was sitting next to him: "And how did you deal with the class that was changed in the afternoon?"

"I skipped."

The witch spit out two words neatly, and then raised her cup with a smile: "There is less than a month left before graduation, and suddenly I found that I have hardly skipped classes... Such a college life is incomplete. What about you?"

Zheng Qing touched his nose.

"I asked the black gem cat to help me go to class." He felt very smart.

The witch nodded thoughtfully.

"In other words, there are only me and the big fox left under the cat fruit tree?"

"..."
