Monster Hunting High School

The investigation results of the Linzhong Lake conflict have not yet been released.

In the evening, another breaking news grabbed the attention of most students.

The North District Wizard Patrol, which went to the Silent Forest to "collect money" (this is the rumor from Alpha College), clashed with the hunting team of the Beta Town Merchants Group - the two sides seemed to have a conflict over the ownership of a nest of small doudou - the rumor did not make it clear who started the fight first, but in the end, someone from the Beta Town Merchants Group's hunting team was seriously injured, and the North District Wizard Patrol took away the nest of small doudou.

"——The merchant group was so angry that they pulled a magic carpet and put the seriously injured hunter on it. A large group of wizards blocked the North District street entrance. The North District was naturally unwilling to be outdone. Although the Gini House did not show up, a large number of wizards also showed up. When I came back, I heard that the confrontation between the two sides had not ended. The Trident and the teaching assistants sent people to maintain order, fearing that a spell would be accidentally detonated and the situation would get out of control."

In the 403 dormitory, Fatty Xin wiped the sweat from his forehead and spoke excitedly, with a regretful expression that secretly hated the school for setting a curfew, which prevented him from continuing to "collect folk songs" on the scene.

"Didn't the great wizards show up? Did the school let this matter continue to ferment?" Xiao Xiao raised his head from the textbook "Standard Pharmacy·University Third Year" and asked curiously.

The fat wizard's face drooped immediately.

He had not completely forgiven the doctor for his "unauthorized escape" - just like just now, when he talked about the conflict between the North District Wizards and the Beta Town Merchants, he insisted on only looking at Zheng Qing, as if there was air across the table.

Zheng Qing cleared his throat.

"I probably know why Senior Colma didn't show up."

He guessed that the witch should go to see her "Originator", but at the same time, he felt a little strange about the school's almost laissez-faire attitude: "- But it's impossible that the school can't send out a great wizard, right?"

For Zheng Qing's question, which was almost the same as Xiao Xiao's, the fat wizard showed a completely different attitude.

"I don't know if the school is short of manpower."

He answered Zheng Qing's question very enthusiastically: "But I know that the Trident sent only Andrew to the scene, and the teaching assistants only went to three black robes... The two sides can't even make up the number of a basic hunting team, so what can they use to mediate the conflict between the two sides? It's already very good to be able to maintain the situation without fighting."

The basic number of hunters in a hunting team is five hunters.

From this perspective, the manpower sent by the school and the Trident is indeed slightly insufficient.

After a pause, the fat man mentioned the attitude of most merchants in Beta Town towards this matter: "--Now the public opinion in the town is very unfriendly to the North District wizards. Many old wizards privately use "locusts" to describe those North District wizards, saying that where they pass, there is no grass growing, which seriously damages the business environment on Phuket Island..."

"Destroyed?"

Zheng Qing scratched his head, looking confused: "I don't feel that Beta Town is different from before? The star map of Green Grocery Store is still five copper coins, the green bee is still two silver coins a bottle, the small roast chicken is twenty-four copper coins, and the price of dragon bone powder and dragon blood ink has not become more expensive... The price of standard talismans has increased a bit, but Isn't this a good thing?"

"What's changing is the raw material market."

Fatty Xin took out a bottle of coconut water from somewhere, gulped down two gulps, and then spoke again: "Northern District wizards are now more powerful, and dare to go deeper into the Silent Forest to collect, bring back a large number of magic raw materials, and sell them very cheaply, which directly squeezes the profit margins of those merchants in Beta Town who originally made money lying down - you just said that most of the goods have not become more expensive? Tsk, according to the current level of shipments in the North District, everything in the market should be very cheap! It hasn't become cheaper, which means that there are still too many bad merchants selling star maps, green bees, and small roast chickens! "

He was indignant.

The bottle of coconut water in his hand had been unknowingly empty.

"——According to the words of some old wizards on the pedestrian street, the world has changed now. Originally, the wizards in the North District who went to the Silent Forest to collect would take the initiative to avoid or even "give up" the prey they had just collected after seeing the hunting team of the merchant group. But since the North District Wizard Group took shape, the merchant hunting teams found that their income was getting less and less..."

"It's what they deserve." Zheng Qing snorted with a tone.

It's obvious that the people in the North District who went into the forest in the past were exploited by these merchant groups - including the "giving up the prey" just mentioned by the fat man. Who of the "magicians" who dared to go deep into the Silent Forest back then was not a ruthless person? Is it possible to make such a ruthless person "willingly" give up the prey?

If you think of it in a positive way, it's forced buying and selling; if you think of it a little worse, it might be robbery, or even murder and looting! You know, the magic interference in the depths of the Silent Forest is very strong. It is difficult for ordinary fortune tellers to observe what is happening in the depths of the forest. Unless the accident is a student, the disappearance of one or two magicians there will not cause any waves on the island.

Even the people in the North District may not care.

"That being said."

Fatty Xin shook his head, obviously worried about the contradictions hidden behind this conflict: "Remember the analysis of the Beta Town Post before, which mentioned that the North District Wizard Group would squeeze the interests of the original wizards in Beta Town? This is the most direct manifestation. The places that the North District wizards couldn't go to before, they can now go; the prey that the North District wizards sold cheaply before, now they are at the same price or even dare to increase the price... I didn't expect those merchant groups in Beta Town to be able to wait until now to take action."

"And then they were beaten to shit." Zheng Qing curled his lips.

Turning his head to look at Xiao Xiao.

But he saw that he had taken off his glasses at some point, and was holding a piece of red velvet, wiping the lenses carelessly, staring blankly at the front, obviously thinking about something.

"Any questions?"

After two years of partnership, Zheng Qing saw at a glance that Dr. Xiao should have discovered something abnormal.

"It's near the end of the semester, and the Marginal College is about to be established... At this time, these things suddenly popped up... It feels too subtle."

Xiao Xiao pinched the legs of his glasses, thinking: "Do you know the ripples when the wind blows across the lake? One circle after another, continuous, but most people's attention will be attracted by those beautiful ripples on the lake, and they will turn a blind eye to the wind that caused everything."

"You mean someone is behind this?" Zheng Qing narrowed his eyes, and the first suspect that flashed through his mind was those mysterious crows.

Xiao Xiao did not comment, and slowly put on his glasses again: "- I just think that if there is really a gust of wind blowing across the lake, the wrinkles will definitely not be just these two circles."
