Hunting College

　　 Passing through the square and over the main teaching building, a large sparkling lake appeared in the vision of the freshmen.

　　 The surface of the lake is calm, the lake water is green, and the thick water plants float lazily on the surface of the water, blocking the sun firmly on the surface. Several big flaming birds floated on the water, hiding their heads in their wings, and dozing lazily.

　　 Zheng Qing stepped on the slippery stone embankment by the lake, and looked at the water with his head stretched out.

　　 A black shadow quickly passed under his eyelids.

　　 Zheng Qing was taken aback and fell off the stone embankment.

　　 "Pay attention to safety, let's talk about the problems in the lake later." Nicholas patted him on the shoulder and continued to introduce the university to the freshmen:

　　 "The entire school is planned strictly. If the square we passed by just now belongs to the front courtyard, then this large lake belongs to the atrium."

　　 "The name of this lake is Linzhong Lake-don't ask me why I have such an unlucky name, I don't know."

　　 Nicholas waved his hands to stop some freshmen who wanted to ask questions: "You just need to remember that these buildings around Linzhong Lake are the places you frequented the most throughout the school year."

　　 Zheng Qing raised his eyes and looked around.

　　 There are many buildings around the lake.

　　 Nicholas introduced one by one:

　　 "That white tower is the school hospital. It's okay if you don't look twice, it's easy to get bad luck."

　　 "The square, black box-like building is the Wizarding United Bank Phuket Jiuyou branch. You can try to deposit the money in your student card in a few days."

"The building that looks like a big tripod belongs to the school cafeteria. The taste is average, the weight is full, and the variety is complete. No matter blood, werewolves, ghosts, or even many people, as long as they belong to Jiuyou Academy, they can find them in the cafeteria. The right recipe."

　　 "Across the lake, the hill-like building is one of the greatest buildings of our Jiuyou College, Jiuyou's library-Shushan Pavilion! Time is tight, we should not go in today."

　　 Nicholas patiently introduced the newcomers to the buildings on both sides of Linzhong Lake.

　　 Zheng Qing squinted, trying to look at the library on the other side.

　　 In the sunset, the lake was filled with a faint mist, blocking his sight.

　　 He can only see a faint black shadow.

　　 After introducing the buildings on both sides of Linzhong Lake, Nicholas took the new students along the path by the lake.

　　 At the end of the path, there is a small wooden dock.

　　 The entrance to the dock is blocked by a small wooden house.

　　 Outside the wooden house, there is an old dog with loose skin on the leash. Hearing unfamiliar footsteps, it just tilted its head, its wrinkled eyelids trembled, and did not even shout.

　　 But the freshmen still circle it carefully.

　　 Nicholas knocked on the glass window of the wooden house:

　　 "Uncle Verne! I took the new students across the lake!"

　　 The old dog, who collapsed in the grass nest, grunted a few times, as if he was very dissatisfied with Nicholas's interrupting his sleep.

　　 Nicholas chuckled, took a cookie from his pocket, and threw it away.

　　 The old dog twitched his nose, but still did not open his eyes. It's just that it stuck out its paws and quickly pulled the biscuit under its belly.

　　 There was a vague response from the wooden house, and a small wooden sign fell on the window sill.

　　 Zheng Qing didn't even see where the wooden sign fell from.

　　 "Who is inside?" he asked Nicholas in a low voice.

"The owner of the dock, the ferryman on the quiet river. We call him Uncle Verne." Nicholas greeted the freshmen to board the dock and replied: "It is said that he was once a professor at the first university, but he is now retired. ."

　　 "That dog looks very old!" someone next to him sighed.

　　 "It's called May, and it's more than twice the age of you little guys! It's an old friend of Uncle Verne. When you encounter it on campus, you should be respectful."

　　 The freshmen nodded again and again.

　　 There are many boats parked on both sides of the pier. The color of the boat is red, and it can only hold about six or seven people. A bamboo pole stood on the bow of the ship, and a small bronze bell hung on it.

"The name of this kind of boat is 艴艋, and it is the main means of transportation in Linzhong Lake." Nicholas greeted the freshmen to board a small boat and exhorted: "If you don't raise a few hippos or buffalo in the lake, then you will be old. I honestly took a boat across Linzhong Lake. You know, even if I stayed in the first university for so long, I still don’t know how many terrible things there are in the lake."

　　 "Will there be water ghosts?" a little girl asked in a trembling voice.

　　 "Water ghost?" Nicholas snorted disdainfully: "That kind of pest can't survive a night in this lake. Mermaid people in the lake like water ghosts as sacrifices."

　　 "Mermaid!" A boy screamed, and panicked explained to his companion next to him: "My grandma said that mermaids are human flesh, and the Wizarding League has strict restrictions on their habitat."

"This is one of the legal habitats for the mermaid by the Wizarding League." Nicholas had a gloomy smile on his face: "So, lads, little girls! Go wide-eyed! Hold on to the ship's side! You get a bubble when you fall into the lake. If you can't spit it out, you will be dragged into the mud by the mermaids!"

　　 Xiao Xiao yawned boredly, watching Nicholas bluffing and frightening the newcomers.

　　 Zheng Qing stared at the water surface without letting go of a ripple.

　　 "Sit down!" Nicholas shouted, and shook the bamboo pole standing on the bow of the boat vigorously.

　　 "Clang! Clang! Clang!"

　　 The bronze bell on the bamboo pole shook, giving off a clear tremor.

　　艴 The boat shook.

　　 The freshmen on the ship all clung to the ship's side in horror.

　　 "Boat!" Nicholas yelled, stomping his feet hard.

　　 The boat shook violently, screaming from the boat.

　　 Zheng Qing saw that a dark cable at the bow of the ship was slowly tightening, and a series of waves of different depths were drawn on the water.

　　 "What's ahead!" he yelled.

　　 But the other freshmen on the boat were screaming, drowning his voice.

　　 "There is something under the boat!" Zheng Qing held the carton tightly with one hand and the side of the ship with the other, turning his head and shouting at Xiao with a smile.

　　 Nicholas, standing on the bow of the ship, smiled and looked at the horrified new students.

　　 "It's a boatman!" Xiao Xiao shifted and moved to Zheng Qing's ear and said, "There are boatmen hired by the school in the water. These boats must be driven by these boatmen."

　　 "Boatman?" Zheng Qing was surprised~www.ltnovel.com~ Maybe it was a mermaid, maybe a kappa, maybe an anaconda. There are so many creatures with brains in the water, everyone wants to earn some jade coins from the wizard. Xiao Xiao grasped the side of the ship with both hands, his face pale: "Don't talk to me, I'm seasick!" "

　　 The wide glasses on his face were slanted and slid down a bit, but Xiao Xiao grasped the ship's side tightly, not daring to move.

　　 Zheng Qing held back a smile and glanced down at the cardboard box in his arms.

　　 The elves are still sleeping quietly.

　　 It seems that they have no concept of seasickness.

There is a small island in the center of the lake, and a white stone tower stands on the island.

The 　　 tower is divided into seven floors, with flying eaves and arches. From a distance, you can vaguely see the copper bells and silk ties hanging on the eaves.

　　 Under the drag of the boatman, the boat quickly sailed across the island.

　　 "What's on the island?" Zheng Qing pointed to the small tower and looked at Nicholas.

"Forbidden area." Nicholas looked at the freshmen and warned: "Although your counselor will tell you in a few days, I think I need to tell you in advance. The small island in the center of the lake is one of the school's forbidden areas. There are very powerful Spell. No one, including the school professor, can set foot on that island without permission."

　　 The freshmen watched in awe as the island slowly disappeared from their eyes.

　　 No one dumbly asked about the consequences of landing on the island.

　　 "Do we have to take this boat every time we cross the lake?" Zheng Qing looked at the tight cable at the bow, always feeling uneasy in his heart.

　　 "Of course not!" Nicholas looked a little annoyed: "Didn't I mention it in the lobby, there are many doors in the school, and you can reach different places by pushing them in. There are many corridors in the school, and some corridors even connect to other colleges!"

　　 Zheng Qing nodded repeatedly.
