Monster Hunting High School

It was beyond Zheng Qing's expectation.

The hunting painting exhibition was crowded with many visitors - he originally thought that this kind of overly '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 robes, there were also many off-campus wizards wearing all kinds of strange robes. A large number of spectators gathered before each work.

The young public-funded student tugged on the wide brim of his hood to hide his face a little more tightly, fearing that some crazy guy would rush up to him and yell, 'Take out your Dharma book, young man! ’.

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

It was a pair of oil paints with fresh brush strokes.

To the right of the painting is an open plain. Above is a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. There are rolling green mountains in the distance, a flat river valley nearby, and a long blue-white river that curves like an oxbow. The entire half of the oil painting presents a fresh and natural feeling.

On the left side of the painting is a mountaintop ravaged by heavy rain. The thick dark clouds and the torrential rain seemed to be one, pressing down from the sky to the top of the mountain. It was so gray that it gave people a sense of depression. The pines and cypress shrubs on the top of the mountain were twisted and twisted by the heavy rain, but miraculously revealed a green vitality.

A tall, thin, gray-haired old wizard was standing among the crowd, telling everyone about this painting in an extremely slow tone.

"...As you can see, Thomas Cole, the famous nineteenth-century wizard painter, used extremely delicate brushstrokes to construct this stunning work."

“In this painting, he expresses some of his views on nature, wizards, philosophy and even faith in a subtle way... In particular, I hope you can notice the very different styles on the left and right sides of this painting: taming and Wild.”

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

"Master Cole also hopes to use this painting to promote to all wizards he knows or doesn't know. As long as through appropriate composition and brushwork, 'static painting' can also express connotations and vitality that are no less than 'activated art'. "

Xiao Xiao was holding the notebook and writing like flying, as if he wanted to write down everything the old wizard said.

Fatty Xin was holding a newspaper, having fun by himself and reading endlessly.

"Why don't you wait for me at the door!" The young public-funded student complained softly, squeezed in between the two of them, poked his head to glance at the doctor's notes, and muttered: "I thought the wizards' art exhibition would be a little different. The style... I didn’t expect it to be so boring.”

"Boring?" The doctor stopped the brush in his hand, raised his head, adjusted his glasses, and said in surprise: "With just a little paint, you can express a wonderful artistic conception that transcends the curse... Why do you feel boring?"

Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Maybe I don't have such a high appreciation ability." The young public-funded student shrugged and looked around: "I remember Dylan said that at the hunting painting exhibition, you can see some paintings of well-known hunting team competitions - they can move. That kind of thing - but why do I see that the paintings displayed in this hall are all static?"

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

The doctor finally gave up on taking notes quietly and dragged his two companions to squeeze out of the crowd again.

"To appreciate, you have to show appreciation... pay attention to your quality! Now this hall is not just for people from the First University." Xiao Xiao advised with sincerity.

Zheng Qing blinked and hit his left hand hard with his right fist: "Wucao! I finally remembered!"

His low exclamation startled the doctor, but the fat man seemed oblivious and continued to hold the newspaper aside in a daze of joy.

"Remember what?"

"I've been feeling that something was not right just now... I didn't react until you said it." Zheng Qing was confused, but emphasized in a definite tone: "This is the first hall!"

The doctor didn't speak, he just rolled his eyelids and glanced at the public student through the upper edge of his glasses.

This look contained multiple meanings such as shock, disappointment, and looking stupid. If he could read so many meanings from one look in normal times, Zheng Qing would definitely make all sorts of complaints.

But now, he could only suppress the desire to complain in his heart, and instead prioritized repeating his own questions.

"This is the first hall!" Zheng Qing repeated excitedly, speaking quickly: "How can people from outside enter the school? I mean, those outside the school... I remember the interviewer, Assistant Teacher Thomas, said , the school’s guardian array is opened once or twice a year... How did they get in? "

"They were invited in." The doctor explained dryly.

"Yes... I know they were invited in. I mean, if the protective formation is not open, how did they get into the school?"

"You were invited in?!" Xiao Xiao repeated his previous answer again.

Zheng Qing looked at him and felt like he had a toothache.

"Either you are stupid, or I am stupid." The young public-funded student muttered in a weak tone: "Can you explain in a little more detail...how they were invited in..."

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

"Where is the guardian array? Isn't it closed? Why did they come in?!" Zheng Qing was a little crazy.

The fat man who was holding the newspaper in a daze seemed to finally notice the argument between the two roommates. He raised his head very slowly, moved his eyelids, and showed a bit of displeasure on his face.

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

Zheng Qing hesitated for a moment, and finally explained: "I thought of the kitten raised by Jiang Yu... 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 enter the school, does that mean..."

"No, this possibility does not exist." Xiao Xiao finally knew how to explain this matter from that perspective: "Guests who enter the school with invitation letters are different from us...their actions will be affected by the invitation letter. limit."

“For example, guests whose invitation only states ‘visit the art exhibition on Monday from 6 to 9 p.m.’ can only appear in the Hunting Painting Exhibition Hall from 6 to 9 p.m.—they cannot even step out of the exhibition hall.”

"Guests who have received an invitation letter to the opening ceremony of the school hunting party can only visit part of the school's hunting moon display along the designated route, and then watch an opening ceremony performance at Hunting Ground No. 1."

"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 Yuexia Parliament, but also a senior researcher at the First University's Institute of Applied Magic... Of course, since she advanced to the Grand Wizard, her professional title may have been adjusted, and maybe she is now a certain The director of the department.”

Zheng Qing opened his mouth and was speechless for a long time.

In the end, he chose to jump back to the previous topic: "...what did the old wizard just say about 'activated art' and 'static portraits' and so on?"
