Although the search for Facelings and Liu Feifei's pets was put on the agenda, it did not occupy all the spare time of the hunters of the Sin Hunting Team.

Outside of class, Zheng Qing and the others still spent most of their energy on their studies, and in addition, the recent riots in Linzhong Lake also attracted some of their attention.

The main body of Linzhong Lake is located in the atrium of Jiuyou Academy, which occupies most of the space of the atrium.

In addition to cultivating sentiments, decorating the landscape, serving as a home for magical creatures, and open-air classes for some hands-on classes, Linzhong Lake also plays an important role as a reservation for the fish-people tribe of Linzhong Lake, helping them to thrive.

Since it is a reserve, the fish-people naturally have a high degree of freedom in this lake. Whether it is the justice, education, and institutional system that is completely different from the mainstream of the wizarding world, or the unique culture and customs, they have all been well preserved by the Fish-Man Tribe, and are not interfered with by the First University, especially external wizards.

And the recent riots are precisely related to this.

Although Linzhong Lake is large and it is not a problem to accommodate thousands of fishmen, it is a little cramped to accommodate an entire civilization. On weekdays, most of the resources needed by the fish-man tribe can be self-sufficient in the lake through the river, and some resources that cannot be satisfied by themselves can also be reported and applied to the first university.

Most of the time, as long as these wet creatures apply, the school will always do everything possible to accommodate them. But for many young fishmen, this 'application-approval' model is more like handouts or even 'feeding'.

As a result, some of the disgruntled young Zhuang fishmen began to sneak around and do business with the 'gray wizards' on the shore. The Fishmen provide the specialties of the Bell Lake and the Silent River, while the 'Grey Wizards' on the shore resell magical materials to them.

In this way, this small-scale smuggling began to develop slowly.

Last Saturday, the night patrol team of the school committee investigated such a smuggling case in a grove not far from the lake, and seized a large amount of magic materials and a 'fish skin magic book' used to trade.

Magical materials are provided by the fish, most of which are collected from the bottom of the Bell Lake and the Silent River.

The Fishskin Book was wholesaled by the wizards who traded with the Fishmen from the Xiayuan Bookstore. The problem lies precisely in this batch of law books.

Because according to the regulations promulgated by the Wizarding Alliance, any wizard is not allowed to sell magic books to magical creatures such as fishmen and centaurs without the permission of the High Wizard Court of Danhag, or teach how to make magic books, and violators will be punished with a ban on demons for more than three years and a fine of more than 100 jade coins.

Originally, this kind of smuggling was not reported by the people and the officials were not prosecuted, and the patrol team generally let it go after seeing the fine money and warning. But that night, after the wizard of the patrol took off the black mask on the smuggler's face, he found that it was actually a student of Alpha Academy, so he naturally refused to let it go easily.

So after a brief discussion with several senior wizards in the patrol, they locked up both sides of the transaction in accordance with the regulations of the Wizarding Alliance, and then sent a message directly to the wizards of Dan Hag. By the time the old wizard in charge of the school working committee arrived, the matter had already made a big fuss, and there was no way to fool it.

It stands to reason that if people get stolen goods together, the law also has clear provisions, so naturally how to deal with them fairly.

But before Dan Hag's circuit court could make a decision, the students of Alpha College and the Fish-Man Tribe were in a ruckus.

Because the wizards of that patrol were all students of the Nine Beings Academy, several of whom were members of the Divine Will Society, and the smugglers who were captured were students of the Alpha Academy, Seprano's men to be exact. In this way, the patrol team's arrest of smugglers was naturally labeled as "will attack the Blood Friendship Association", "fishing law enforcement", "Nine You College violated the rights of Alpha students" and so on.

In addition, the fish people made a fuss because the few fishmen who were arrested were all the younger generation of the tribe, going back several generations, and the relationship was intertwined, and almost half of the tribe of fish people were involved. And there is a very formal reason why they are making trouble, which is that the fish-people have independent jurisdiction and should not be tried by wizarding courts.

This is also the topic that has been discussed the most by students of Jiuyou Academy in recent days.

After the practice class on Friday, when Zheng Qing and his companions were resting in the school hospital, they heard the next ward talking about this topic, and they couldn't help but discuss it.

"Fish-people have an independent judiciary, yes, but that doesn't mean they can trample on the laws of wizards. Zhang Jixin is a hard-line wizard on this issue: "I have always felt that it is a waste for the Wizarding Alliance to give such a large reserve to the Fishman Tribe, just like the author of the Wizarding Code once said, 'The Fishmen have no ownership of the waters they live in, the ownership belongs to the Wizarding Alliance'. ”

Elder Zhang, whose mind had always been full of muscles, was able to quote what the author of the "Wizard Codex" had said, which made Zheng Qing stunned. What made him even more eye-catching was that Xin Fatzi did not refute Zhang Jixin's words, but instead added an explanation to it.

Xin Fatzi added on the side: "What's more, when those fishmen were arrested, they were in the small woods by the lake, and there were still a few hundred meters away from the fish-man tribe in Linzhong Lake, so it stands to reason that they are not within the jurisdiction of the fish-man tribe." ”

"That's the truth!" Zhang Jixin heard this, slapped the bed hard, and then gave Fat Xin a thumbs up.

The fat man frowned and thought for a few seconds, and finally reluctantly took out a piece of sauced beef from the food box in front of him and handed it to Zhang Jixin as a gift for the united front.

"Savage magical civilizations such as the Fish-Men require that they be maintained over a large area, beyond the limits of the progress and legitimate demands of civilized life, and must therefore be subordinated to civilized life. Xiao Xiao opened his mouth slowly and methodically, and said another unusually awkward sentence.

Zhang Jixin scratched his head: "What you say sounds very beautiful." ”

Dr. Xiao glanced at him: "It's not what I said, it's James Monroe's words...... This sentence very clearly points out the backwardness of the fish-man tribe and the advanced nature of the wizard civilization, and the necessity that we should use the advanced civilization to guide the backward civilization. ”

Which great wizard James Monroe is, Zheng Qing doesn't know, and he doesn't plan to memorize the entire "Wizarding Encyclopedia" like Xiao Xiao.

But this did not affect his understanding of Xiao Xiao's position on this matter.

"It's really strange," the young scholar swept his gaze over the many faces in the ward, and exclaimed, "Except for the last time you roasted me on the fire, it feels like this is the first time that your opinions are so unanimous." ”

"No, it's the third time. The fat man stretched out his greasy index finger and shook it in front of Zheng Qing's eyes: "Another thing we agree on is that you are a scumbag." ”
