Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Redness in the Eyes

Professor Montella is an expert in the study of advanced magic and bloodline science at First University, and has his own independent laboratory in the school's Institute of Applied Magic, and he is also a member of the Great Wizard Conference of the Wizarding Alliance, but it is said that because Professor Montella is trying to break through the rank of the Great Wizard, he has not participated in the meeting of the Wizarding Alliance for a long time.

While he didn't know his full name—in fact, most of the school's professors only published some of their names, except for the bigwigs who had great confidence in them—Zheng Qing had known the professor for a long time.

The first and only time I met with Professor Montella was just over a month after I entered the university.

That day, Zheng Qing and Lin Guo patrolled at night, strolling along the corridor and chatting about time measurement, when they were suddenly blocked by a demonized kappa. Fortunately, the kappa demon was very weak and did not cause any bad consequences.

As a member of the accident investigation team, Professor Montella appeared on the shore of Linzhong Lake with Professor Yi. That was the first time Zheng Qing had met the professor, and he had the privilege of talking to the professor at that time.

Zheng Qing's deepest impression of Professor Montella, in addition to his high cheekbones and gray hair, is his sharp eyes and slightly hoarse voice. In addition, there is also his excited expression when he talks about the improvement of the demon bloodline.

Later, at the end of the Moon Hunt Freshman Competition, because of a certain big black cat and Zheng Qing's unusual attraction to demons, Professor Yao once suggested that Zheng Qing consult Professor Montella.

It's just that on the one hand, because of the complicated things in the second half of the semester, and Zheng Qing has been inconvenient to find Su Shijun to write a letter of recommendation; on the other hand, Professor Montella is a professor at Alpha Academy after all, and his research still involves more sensitive aspects such as bloodlines, and he has a bad reputation in wizarding circles such as wandering bars, Zheng Qing is very worried that he will be pushed onto the test bench after going to his laboratory.

In this way, it dragged two, two dragged three, and unconsciously, it dragged on for half a year.

It wasn't until not long ago, when he once again caught the attention of demons during the Kuroshio incident in the northern district of Beta Town, that he realized in his heart that it was more important. It happened that during the winter vacation, he borrowed to live in Qingqiu Mansion again. So he took the time to ask Su Damei to help him write a letter of recommendation.

This is still before the start of school.

After the start of the semester, Zheng Qing delivered the letter to Professor Montella's office through formal channels. Then there was no news of him, and he did not hear back for more than a week. Just two days ago, Zheng Qing was also privately pondering whether to take the time to go to Qingqiu Mansion again and ask Su Damei to ask about this matter.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, he received a reply from the professor.

The reply was not long, only a short line of words, but unlike the flowing flowery characters of other professors, Professor Montella's handwriting was very neat, almost as if it had been printed with movable lead type:

"On Saturday, at one o'clock in the afternoon, I came to the Montlia laboratory as an internship assistant. (Signature of Professor)"

Although there is no subject and the sentence structure is too concise, it does not affect the understanding of the content. After Zheng Qing finished reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief-he was an assistant in a laboratory, so he didn't think he would be pushed onto the test bench.

"What are you looking for Professor Montella?" After smashing the note, the shame on Elena's face faded a little, and the curiosity in her heart surged back up: "I remember that his evaluation outside is not very good...... Many wizards say he is experimenting on humans. ”

At the mention of the words 'human experiments', Zheng Qing couldn't help but think of the newspaper he had read before the class meeting yesterday Sunday, and his heart was a little depressed.

"Rumors are rumors because no one can prove their truth. The young student tugged at the corners of his mouth and tried to show a relaxed smile: "That's right, this time I can go to his laboratory and tell you what it's like in that laboratory." ”

The gypsy witch smiled kindly, but her face was still a little hesitant.

Zheng Qing blinked and comforted: "Anyway, I am also a public-funded student of the school, and I am also a recipient of the Order of Merlin...... Professor Montella is also a regular professor at the school, and he always dragged me to the test bench without ever meeting me. ”

Saying this, it did seem that the two of them were a little worried, and Yelena couldn't help laughing.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you're still the Great Arcana 'World' of Wands. The witch brushed the tarot cards in her hand and glanced at the young wizard, her tone a little more sarcastic.

Zheng Qing couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Actually, I'm going to see Professor Montella this time for business," said the wizard, picking off his eyelids, revealing the redness under his eyes, and motioning, "See, my eyes are a little red again...... It's definitely not a late night. ”

Yelena stared at it for a long time before she exclaimed, "Your eyes are going to turn red again?"

Zheng Qing pursed his lips and made a helpless expression.

The last time he went on a date with Yelena, he was affected by the inexplicable coercion of the Tower in the middle of the lake on the shore of Linzhong Lake, and his eyes turned into rabbits. This time again.

But because his eyes were bruised at every turn, everyone was much more receptive to his red eyes, so even if he appeared in the classroom with red eyes today, it did not cause onlookers and fuss from his classmates.

"When did it happen? I remember your eyes were fine at yesterday's class meeting. The witch looked at him worriedly.

Hearing Yelena's question, Zheng Qing felt warm in his heart, and his chest was filled with an inexplicable, strange emotion that seemed to be courage.

"Just last night, I saw two moons in the sky, and when I got up this morning and looked in the mirror, I noticed that my eyes were a little abnormal. ”

His answer was not made up, but he used the Spring and Autumn brushwork.

Last night, Satogua came to the sky with big eyes to find the murderer of its descendants, only to be blown up by a cyan streamer. But in just a few seconds when it appeared, it gave Zheng Qing a huge amount of mental pressure. When he went back to wash up in the evening, he noticed that there was more redness under his eyes.

It was more serious this morning.

However, unlike in the past, this time the 'pink eye' was not 'acute', but changed to 'chronic', and the redness under the eyes appeared much slower.

In addition, since the invasion of Satogua was erased from the world line by a certain bigwig in the wizarding world, almost no one in the school remembered it, so Zheng Qing used a little vague language when describing it.

If Elena still remembers what happened in the sky last night, there is naturally no problem with his answer, and if Elena doesn't remember, it doesn't matter, Zheng Qing can come back in a circle.
