The dean of Jiuyou College lightly interrupted the questioning of the vice-president of the First University. He played with the pipe in his hand, picked out a small bunch of golden tobacco from the void with his fingertips, and slowly stuffed it into the pipe.
Professor Emma stared at the small bundle of 'slender tobacco' tumbling and struggling on Old Yao's fingertips, and looked at the neat and beautiful scales on their bodies - in the eyes of the legendary wizard, those tobacco tobacco were not dead objects, but strips.
The struggling and howling golden dragon—her gaze did not waver at all.
"It's the truth that's correct, it's the Book of Revelation that's correct."
The witch's gaze moved from the tobacco to the face of the office owner opposite the desk, looking at his small dark eyes that were as shiny as a beetle, and repeated the words from the Book of Revelation in a very soft voice: "
——The voice that I heard from heaven said to me again: Go and take the little scroll that is open in the angel's hand.
——I went to the angel and said to him, "Please give me the little scroll." He said to me, "Take it and eat it all. It will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as sweet as honey in your mouth."
——I took the little scroll from the angel's hand and ate it all.
——It is indeed as sweet as honey in my mouth.\nAfter eating it, my stomach felt bitter."
"The Book of Revelation" is a work by the ancient prophet St. John, which records many of his prophecies. Although he attributed these scenes to the grace of the Holy Spirit, many modern researchers believe that these scenes were observed when he traveled through different timelines.
picture.
Similar to the prophetic books of many ancient prophets such as Tuibeitu, many prophecies in the Book of Revelation are also characterized by vagueness, exaggeration, and uncertainty. Often one sentence can be repeatedly interpreted by later generations to draw many conclusions.
Professor Yao is not good at divination, and he has not studied the Book of Revelation as carefully as Professor Emma. Naturally, he is not sure whether she really saw something from that ancient book.
But out of respect for beings of similar rank and respect for ancient sages, he still slightly restrained his previous frivolous tone.
"Compared to Alpha Academy, I think you are more suitable for Atlas."
The dean of Jiuyou College twirled the smoking pot in his hand, stuffed the restless shreds of tobacco one by one, and commented half seriously, half graciously: "...It's just that since you know how to eat it in your stomach,
It will taste bitter, so why pursue that little bit of sweetness in your mouth?"
Professor Emma did not answer this question directly, but continued her previous topic.
"A long time ago, when the wizards of Atlas faced disasters, they would pray and sacrifice their children to the gods, and then replace them with calves... Many people think this is a calf out of ethical or moral considerations.
The progress of a civilization. But I will not regard this kind of thing as correct. Because sacrifice is an ancient magic that follows the principle of equivalent magic exchange. Any progress in magic must follow this principle. It can be easily obtained
The power will inevitably lead to disaster easily."
At this point, she paused for a moment and glanced out the window: "——Out of respect for Vice Principal Ruoyu, I will not interfere with your attempt to break the principle of equivalence... But I don't want that 'little book'
'It is stained with these stains. It is the 'revelation' left to us by God, a call and a warning, and it is also the future of the First University..."
"I understand what you mean."
The dean of Jiuyou Academy raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, and his tone was very sincere: "Believe me, no one wants to throw that troublemaker out more than me... I wake up every morning and think about it.
Should I stuff that brat into a box, and then let a blue bird hold it in its mouth and throw it back to Damingfang... Of course, this is just a private chat, and I will never admit that I said such a thing in public... Now
The problem is that he entered Jiuyou Academy through formal means and became my student. I know that compared with his other husband, I am insignificant. But no matter what, I am his teacher and he is my student.
student, this relationship is an established fact... So, why don't you continue to respect this fact, continue to observe your 'little book' silently, and wait for your 'right time' as you have done for the past year and a half
'?"
"For the Book of Revelation says, 'Remember whence you fell, and repent and do the works you did at first. But if you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place,'"
Professor Emma looked at Professor Yao steadily and said firmly: "It knows that I can tolerate stupidity, but cannot tolerate mistakes... If I deny my own path, then what I end up throwing away is not just a small book."
"
When it comes to the dispute over ‘roads’, there seems to be no room for negotiation at all.
The dean of Jiuyou College frowned, and pressed his fingertips slightly into the smoke pot. A wisp of green smoke rose up, and many wailing shadows were vaguely struggling in the smoke.
He took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke.
The white smoke covered most of his body in an instant, and even the sunlight falling in the window behind him was blocked a lot, and the light in the entire office suddenly dimmed.
He waved his hand, trying to dispel the fog in front of his eyes: "——As for whose claim is more reasonable, we may not come to any conclusion after discussing it for three days and three nights..."
"Your legend is based on the fact that you used the body of a demon to control your nature, and worked as a teacher at the First University without eating any of your students. For any wizard or demon, this kind of thing is a miracle and a legend."
Professor Emma suddenly spoke up. After briefly mentioning Lao Yao's 'path', he commented with a bit of sarcasm: "...It's interesting to think about it. Those radicals among the wizards feel that the people in the Moon Council are not pure enough.
Guy, the one I finally chose to support was a big demon..."
"The extreme of darkness is light, and the extreme of light will also turn into darkness. The brighter the star, the darker its background."
Lao Yao raised his eyebrows, biting his pipe, and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Don't you hear 'Put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately'? You think they are supporting a big demon, but in their eyes, I am better than most of the school
People are more 'pure' Buddha!"
Professor Emma ignored Lao Yao's boasting.
She lowered her eyelids, put away her previous sarcasm, and her tone became indifferent again: "...In short, your path is very narrow and narrow, but it is abrupt enough to allow you to easily grasp the context and true meaning of the legend. And I
It’s different. I don’t have the advantage of you “taking the wrong approach”. I have been in school all my life, behaved, and stayed safe. When I first chose my path, I also had this conservative mentality. I only wanted to be stable and walk in the future.
On the 'correct' road... the road is wider, maybe because it is too wide, it has no real direction.
It wasn’t until I saw ‘order’ in the Black Prison that I found a clue to the ‘correctness’.”
