Chapter 1: The New Students (2)
Three days later, the quarantine period finally ended. Several soldiers from the Pirate Kingdom walked onto the deck and announced that the quarantine period of the crowd on the ship had expired.
"Finally liberated! I want to buy a roast chicken first!"
Before the soldier could finish his words, Ravi rushed off the ship first. Her movements were as sensitive as monkeys, and she was short and bent her body and rushed forward, so the soldiers couldn't stop her.
"Whose child is this?" The soldiers asked the people on the deck with dark faces. Seeing that no one answered, they had to shake their heads helplessly, "Forget it, just a child."
Then they said to the people on the ship seriously: "Congratulations, there is no Black Death on this ship, you can get off the ship and enter and exit the city freely. But before that, we have something to ask - do you have any nobles from the Federation of Almany? If so, please come with us, and the King of Sweden will host a special banquet for you."
As soon as he heard this, the son of Count Songdegao became energetic. He tidied up his clothes, pulled his companions out of the crowd, looked at the soldiers in front of him with a proud look, and said, "We are, why don't we lead the way in front."
A soldier confirmed the family's emblem, and then signaled the two nobles to follow him. The son of Count Songdegao turned his head and glanced at the people behind him with a rather mocking look, and said, "Did you hear it? The Swedish kings will meet us in person. This is the noble!"
The two nobles left, and the scholars who stayed on the ship were dissatisfied. But before they could say anything, the soldiers of the Pirate Kingdom had already gathered together and started to discuss:
"What kind of virtue do these people have? They eat our meal for nothing, and they look like we owe him!"
"Boss, can we catch up and beat them up?"
"Don't be impulsive, this group of people may be useful to the Swedish king." The soldier leader comforted them, "When the Swedish king met them, see where they were arranged to live. If they were arranged to be in the lower city, we will find an opportunity to rob them. If you were arranged to live in the palace, you would be an important guest and you should not act rashly..."
Just as scholars lamented the meticulous and general mind of the soldier leader, he continued:
"... Find a chance for them to walk out of the palace, cover their faces and rush up and drag them into the alley, and punch them a few times. As long as you don't beat them to death and get disabled, you can always deal with it if you say it was done by a robber."
After the soldiers finished discussing, the group of scholars were already leaning against the corner of the ship and trembling. The soldier in charge couldn't help but grin and reveal his expensive gold teeth: "Don't worry, you are guests of Britain. Britain and we are friends. I learned equestrianism with your knights a few days ago, although I fell a big fall."
"We are not afraid." The scholars could only hesitate, "We know that your country has always been... simple and simple."
"Hahahaha! That's right!" The soldier patted a scholar's back carelessly, "Those two Almani people just went for a meal, it's nothing. You are the freshmen of this class, right? To welcome you, we have prepared a grand entrance ceremony. This time, Paracelsus and Gottfried will appear, and the King of Sweden will come, and we will also give one of the best freshmen her crowbars that were copied one-to-one in pure gold!"
"Is the crowbar? The one in the hands of the King of Sweden? The pure gold? One to one imitation? Give it personally?"
Every word shocked the scholars even more. They followed these soldiers to the academy and couldn't help but talk about it along the way: Where did the great masters come from? They were so popular with the Swedish king just after entering the school?
"Since it is a crowbar, it should be a scholar in the alchemy direction, right?" someone said, "After all, the symbol on the crowbar is an Ourobosnake symbolizing alchemy."
"So that's it!" One person suddenly realized, "I heard that this time a very famous alchemist also came to the academy. He was a self-developed group with many disciples, and was a very famous figure! It seemed to be called...it seemed to be called..."
"Karl Gustav Jung." A man said calmly from behind, "a famous scholar is not an alchemy, he is very old. But a few years ago, the old man suddenly claimed that he had mastered the true essence of alchemy. A very mysterious figure. The entry threshold for alchemy is very high, but the alchemy of his school seems to have no threshold at all, attracting a large number of apprentices who are interested in alchemy. Perhaps in a few years, his influence will even surpass this orthodox alchemy academy in Gotland."
"There are such a powerful persons who are coming to school? No wonder the King of Sweden wants to personally award the golden crowbar!"
While talking, the group had already arrived at the academy. Along the way, they saw a group of students running. They heard the group shouting: "Hurry up, hurry up, that Master Jung is giving an open-air lecture in the square!"
The group immediately became interested. Walking in the direction of the crowd, soon arrived at a square. Thousands of people gathered in darkness on the square, including students from the college and ordinary citizens who were interested in listening to the lecture. A high platform was piled up in the middle of the square, and an old man stood on the box, which seemed to be the Jung in people's mouth. At this moment, he was passionate and confidently telling his theory to the people around him:
"All the alchemists before were wrong, or even though they knew the true meaning of alchemy, they deliberately adopted misunderstood code words. What ancient alchemists like the most is code words!"
"The initial matter is not important. The most important thing in alchemy is human beings, and talent is the real experimental body of this Hermesian technique! Its life is the matrix, a huge still, a distilled substance, and a distilled substance. Therefore, self-cognition is the basis of all alchemy traditions!"
"Yes, the ultimate goal of alchemy is not gold. Here, 'gold' is just a code word. The transformation of metal symbolizes human perfection and improvement."
"Alchemy does not involve, nor does it depend on laboratory experiments. Even if it is not completely involved, it is at least the vast majority. Those languages that describe changes in matter actually express a certain mental process. In the process of alchemy, the mind of the alchemist is unconsciously projected onto the material in its container, creating hallucinations. The process of change they describe is actually a description of their own unconsciousness. The experience of the alchemist has nothing to do with matter itself, and its real root is in the projection experience of individual researchers..."
This was an unprecedented shocking statement, and everyone present seemed to be enlightened. Some of them lowered their heads and thoughts, some suddenly realized, and some clapped with praise. The applause caused even more warm applause. Jung stood on the wooden box and accepted everyone's cheers proudly.
Just then, a chicken bone hit Jung from the audience. Jung didn't expect that he would suddenly get this, and he couldn't help but shouted angrily at the audience: "Who is it?"
"Grandpa, no one cares about you for Alzheimer's disease, but can you please stop talking nonsense in such public places?"
