It didn't take long to confirm the identity of the strange wizard.
Before Fatty Xin finished the box of chicken popcorn, paper cranes from the First University School Working Committee and the Sancha Sword office in Beta Town flew to Zheng Qing's hands to verify the relevant information - including the basic information and portrait of the liaison officer. And magical characteristics, etc.
This made Zheng Qing feel that he was indeed a little nervous.
"Sorry, I just met some wizards pretending to be three-pronged swords a few days ago, so I'm a little more cautious." The young public-funded student put away the letter and apologized with greetings.
"It's okay. In fact, I appreciate your seriousness in performing your mission."
The liaison officer smiled and waved his hand: "Being vigilant at all times is the basic quality of a successful hunting team. Many veteran hunting teams overturn because they slack off in some inconspicuous places."
"How did the school...or the bureau arrange it?"
"The school has sent a special tactics team from the teaching assistants and a patrol team from the school working committee; Trident Sword has also temporarily recruited two crisis support teams, plus several of your hunting teams that are performing crow-related tasks. The team has assembled a total combat strength equivalent to seven standard hunting teams... In addition, the school and the Trident Sword also have a joint department, including fortune tellers, therapists, alchemists and other support staff, which do not participate in direct combat. But we will provide uninterrupted support and support. I belong to this last part."
A standard hunting party is five registered wizards.
Seven standard hunting teams are thirty-five registered wizards.
You must know that the combat effectiveness of an organized hunting team is not the same as that of loose wizards. Seven standard hunting teams are enough to defend a small section of the city wall on the Black Prison battlefield. If thrown into the Silent Forest, they can easily destroy a small giant tribe. It can be said that , the school and the Three-Chased Sword took this newly discovered illegal laboratory very seriously.
"You know, half a month ago, the one who knocked down the illegal laboratory of the dark wizard you were chasing was just a patrol team of the school working committee that happened to pass by... I heard that you were taking final exams at that time?"
While he was talking, Mr. Liaison Officer had already led the young wizards of the Exoneration Hunting Team towards the depths of the forest. The group of people had all hung up their armor and horse talismans, and the speed was not slow at all.
"Yes, we could all hear the sound of the thunder curse outside the school in the examination room. At that time, half of the sky was illuminated by the curse light. I thought a big demon broke into the school." Zheng Qing did not hesitate because he had verified the other party's identity. Being careless, the hunting team still maintained a rough formation during the march, ensuring that the first-order battle formation could be activated at any time.
The liaison officer codenamed "Baozi" was like a wisp of smoke, leading the way. He didn't care about the caution of the young wizards at all, and still chatted happily: "...it's not like the big demon, it's just because the incident happened suddenly and there was no response. I was in a hurry and gave the other party time to react, but the dark wizard directly detonated the defensive array in the laboratory and caused a big mess... There will definitely be no such mistakes this time."
"Where is that laboratory? Is it possible to use the power of the school's protective array? I remember that the school's protective array has a strong suppression effect on that level of magic riots."
"No dark wizard - or wizard experimenting with dark magic - would put their laboratory under the most sensitive nose of the First University."
The liaison officer did not laugh at the young wizard's question, but explained half-jokingly: "They are just extreme, not stupid... That laboratory is more than thirty kilometers away from the outermost edge of the guardian circle... But because it is On Phuket Island, people from the school working committee said that a small projection of the school's protective circle could be lowered through a ceremony. Of course, I have only heard of this and have not seen it yet."
"Why did you choose 'Baozi' as your code name?"
"Eh?"
This sudden and jumping question was obviously beyond the scope of Mr. Liaison's thinking. He even stopped for a moment, turned back and took a closer look at the fat wizard who asked the question. After a long while, he hesitated and replied: "Well, because my girlfriend is here The codename in the hunting team is 'Master Baozi', so I can only call him Baozi."
This is a very powerful reason indeed.
Zheng Qing glared at the fat man accusingly.
The fat wizard looked disappointed and quietly stuffed the box of baked buns he had taken out back into his watch - he thought he had met someone with whom he had some common language.
Just when Zheng Qing wanted to ask some other questions, suddenly, he smelled a very dull but extremely rich floral fragrance, which suddenly made him feel depressed and depressed.
He subconsciously made a gesture to change formation.
In just an instant, the distance between the five hunters of the Forgiveness Hunting Team and their respective positions were slightly and precisely adjusted. A layer of blue magic afterbirth slowly rose, blocking out the peculiar floral fragrance.
It was only then that Zheng Qing began to think about what he had just done, what flower the fragrance belonged to, what he should do if the other party was a dark wizard in disguise and led Yu Sin into a trap, etc.
Fortunately, his mind remained clear, and he did not immediately open the Dharma book, use a binding spell to tie up the 'bun' in front of him, and hang it in the air.
A slightly jumping magic wave spread to the front.
The liaison officer who led the way realized belatedly, turned around, glanced at the young wizards who looked like fried cats, and couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be nervous... we will reach our destination soon... those crows are planting near here I bought a large field of tuberose, and used magic to make the flowers bloom all year round, so as to drive away any insects and wizards that come close to the laboratory and keep the laboratory secret."
Zheng Qing suddenly felt enlightened.
Tuberose is an evergreen shrub, also known as evening primrose and night scented flower. The normal flowering period is in summer and autumn. The flower has a strong fragrance and is in the shape of a yellow-green bell. It has great medicinal value. However, as the saying goes, the medicine is three parts poisonous. If When its floral fragrance reaches a certain concentration, it will make the wizard in it dizzy, have difficulty breathing, and even cause fainting in severe cases. Even if the concentration is low, it can repel mosquitoes and small magical creatures that are close to it.
In addition, bouquets of tuberose are also used by many Southeast Asian wizards in blessing rituals for the dead, using its strong floral fragrance to mask the smell of corpses.
After walking a few hundred meters further, Zheng Qing suddenly felt his eyes light up. The Exoneration Hunting Team had entered an open area.
As far as the eye can see, within a few miles, all the trees have been cleared, and the low shrubs and humus layer have been leveled. The woods in the distance are like a low city wall, surrounding the surroundings, and there are continuous open spaces. There was no grass in sight, only a bare, pyramid-like hill standing abruptly in the middle.
Zheng Qing bent down and picked up a handful of soil, and could still smell the strong floral fragrance from it.
