The sound of explosions outside the wall has long since dissipated.

The red light in the sky has also faded, and the sky is bright again. The birds calmed down under the comforting mantras of the school staff, landed on the treetops and began to comb their feathers again. It seemed that everything had returned to the way it was when the exam started.

"Five minutes left!"

On the podium, the black-robed teaching assistant in charge of the invigilation raised his voice and loudly reminded the young wizards in the examination room: "Because the previous accident did not have an irreversible impact on the examination room, this exam will not be extended...everyone, seize the last few minutes and check Write down your name, test number, and write a few words for the questions you don’t know, don’t leave it blank! This is the most sincere advice from a person who has experienced it!”

The slightly humorous remarks made the young wizards in the audience chuckle.

Zheng Qing checked the test papers absently, but wondered what happened outside the wall in his mind—whether there was a big monster making trouble, or a crazy dragon rushed out of the silent forest, or a certain laboratory was experimenting with new magic ?

He couldn't wait to hand in the test paper, so he could discuss it with Xiao Xiao or Fatty Xin.

But after the examination papers were collected, the invigilators did not allow the young wizard to leave the examination room.

"According to the latest notice issued by the joint meeting of the school working committee and professors, all students in the teaching building, laboratory building and other areas of the First University, after receiving the notice, stay silent and are not allowed to move around at will, waiting for further notice."

After reading the notice, the black-robed teaching assistant on the stage looked around. Unsurprisingly, there was an uproar in the examination room. Many people shouted, "I need to eat", "I need to prepare for the next test", "I need to go to the toilet", etc. , he had to cast a loud curse on himself to suppress the gradually boiling atmosphere in the classroom: "Everyone have to endure for a few more minutes... I really need to go to the toilet, follow the elf and go back quickly. Don't sneak out of the teaching building, The consequences of violating the joint notification are more serious than you can imagine!"

Inside the words, there is a hint of intimidation.

Zheng Qing didn't go to the toilet, but sat on the seat and pinched his fingers to calculate, but soon, he gave up this effort. On the one hand, his divination ability has always been mediocre, and on the other hand, he has not obtained many divination elements since he has been staying in the examination room, and he can't deduce any effective content at all.

The school's silence order lasted for a long time.

It was not until the evening, when the sky was already dark, and it was almost an hour before the end of the exam, that the silence order was lifted. During this period, Zheng Qing saw teams of janitors wearing gray robes passing by the teaching building more than once, holding up the Dharma books in their hands, releasing light green mantra lights one after another, as if they were cleaning something up.

"...It is said that an accident occurred in an illegal laboratory hidden in the Silent Forest, resulting in a pollution leak. A mutated reincarnation poplar released a large number of polluting spores. Just in case, the school arranged for the school staff to clean up the campus several times .”

In the evening, Fatty Xin returned to the dormitory and brought the latest news from the editorial department: "Of course, the accident did not cause casualties, only a small number of magical creatures were affected...and they have been 'harmless' treated by the school. "

Behind the understatement of "harmless" is a pile of ashes blowing in the wind.

Zheng Qing pinched the Dharma book in his hand, and cursed in a low voice: "Damn 'illegal laboratories'... How many illegal laboratories are there in the Silent Forest? Why does it feel like one after another is dug out!"

The sharp edges and corners of the copperplate book hurt his palms, and he couldn't help hissing.

"Much."

Xiao Xiao was half lying on the bed, holding a book of alchemy lectures in his arms, with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep, and his voice was a little lazy: "The time when the first illegal laboratory was first established is unreliable, but according to "Walking According to the records of entering the First University, as early as more than two hundred years ago, the school had a record of destroying illegal experiment bases... Occasionally, some students were expelled from the school for conducting illegal experiments... These did not stop some daring young wizards from sneaking into the Silent Forest , to build their own 'secret bases'. Many illegal laboratories were declared abandoned as their masters left the school, and newcomers continued to enter the forest. I guess there must be more than a hundred illegal laboratories outside the school."

"One hundred? Who do you look down on!" The fat wizard sneered, but he didn't give an exact figure. Instead, he changed the topic: "But speaking of it, the laboratory where the accident happened today has something to do with us."

Zheng Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Dr. Xiao Da, who was half lying on the bed, also opened his eyes and pushed his glasses. Even Dylan, who hadn't fully woken up, lifted the lid of the coffin, revealing half of his pale face.

"Is it related to us?" Dylan's eyes fell on Zheng Qing immediately: "Brother scum, is it an illegal laboratory set up by your secret organization like the 'Seven Deadly Sins'?"

"No..." Zheng Qing was a little uncertain.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with the Seven Deadly Sins." The fat wizard took out a scroll of parchment from his arms, spread it out carefully, and showed the three roommates the pattern on it.

A lifelike black crow feather was drawn on the parchment~lightnovelpub.net~ When the paper trembled slightly, the feather seemed to be alive, and it seemed that it would be blown away by the wind in the next second.

"Crow?" Zheng Qing narrowed his eyes.

"Did the school catch them?" Xiao Xiao cheered up and sat up from the bed.

"No, even this feather was accidentally dropped on the scene of the accident." The fat wizard curled his lips and mocked in a pungent tone:

"Compared to not catching the wizard who caused the trouble, successfully containing the escaped monster from the illegal laboratory is obviously a victory that can be won... The school's bureaucratic system is only commendable at this point, even if the situation is so bad that it is speechless To the extent that they can, they can always find a way to prove their success."

This topic is obviously beyond the scope of discussion tonight.

Dylan, who was lying on the side of the coffin, cleared his throat and interrupted: "Do you think the Potions exam this afternoon is difficult? Do I need to recite the difference between foxglove and rehmannia? Or memorize foxglove and fox?" The relationship between the gloves?"

"You shouldn't ask us this kind of question. You know what it means to confirm the signature before entering the examination room." The fat wizard held a small comb, grunted and combed the hair, and turned to look at where Zheng Qing was: "Brother scum, who often violates... Huh? Where's brother scum? Wasn't he still here just now? When did he go out?"

"Did you hear the door knock?"

"No."

"Neither have I." Dr. Xiao lay back on the bed with his head up, and put the alchemy handout on his face, as if he wanted to chew every word on it, his voice seemed a bit dull: "This is the dormitory mountain, not the Silent Forest , don't make such a fuss... Didn't he disappear once a few days ago, and he was probably picked up by a school elder for questioning... After all, Youzuin has been very active in catching crows."
