Xiao Xiao opened the door and politely saluted the owner of the office: "——I heard that you were looking for me, but I didn't know..."
This was not the first time he came to the divination professor's office, but every time he felt it was slightly different, just like divination, every time he turned the crystal ball, the picture he saw was slightly different.
The high bookshelves on the left and right sides are filled with various reference books, both thin and thick. The brass nail caps embedded in the spines of the books reflect the candlelight hanging from the ceiling, like shining little eyes.
The wall beside the door is hung with dense charts, and there is a large star map on the ceiling.
Xiao Xiao's eyes glanced at the groups of yarrows in different numbers and directions on the coffee table, and only paused for a moment on the ashtray in the corner of the coffee table.
There is a piece of burnt tortoise shell in the ashtray, and the crisscrossing cracks on it are filled with an exciting magical atmosphere.
"Here you come? Sit down, sit down first."
Professor Yi, who was behind the desk, waved without raising his head. An armchair clattered around the coffee table, ran behind Xiao Xiao, and actively bumped into the crook of his leg.
The boys took their seats.
The professor seemed to be grading homework. Several quills of different colors danced around him. From time to time, he would jump into the ink cartridge next to him and take a sip of ink. This was intertwined with the rhythmic rustling of the pen tip as it scratched the parchment.
Harmonious and beautiful.
Come on.
Three elves in gray uniforms fluttered their wings and hovered in front of the boy. One hand held a silver teapot with a slender neck, one held a white porcelain teacup, and the other held a copper plate with stacks on it.
There were a few cubes of sugar and a small copper clip beside it.
The boy took the porcelain cup and took a piece of candy.
Then he watched the elf fill his cup with tea.
"Thank you." He nodded politely.
Come on!
The elves disappeared happily into the office.
Drink half of the tea.
The sound made by the quill tip stopped intermittently.
"...Actually, I should have looked for you a few weeks ago."
Professor Yi raised his head, leaned back, crossed his hands on the table, and looked at the young wizard on the sofa. He said in a brisk tone: "——But you are also a fortune teller. You should know that the future is uncertain.
Sex will only be completely eliminated after something definite happens."
This sounds a bit hard to say.
But Xiao Xiao immediately understood what the professor meant.
For this world, there are countless possibilities in the future, and the probability of each occurrence is large or small. In theory, only when the timeline converges to the 'now' moment, the countless possibilities will converge into one
, but in fact, there are many 'special nodes' that are similar to omens on the future timeline. When the timeline passes through that node, the certainty of the future has been greatly enhanced and the uncertainty has been greatly reduced.
For example, the battle in Hell.
Before the war began, there were countless possible outcomes: For example, the demon coalition army was completely annihilated, or the First University suffered heavy losses, or the two suns that were fighting in the sky at that time - the giant bird Sheeds and Professor Emma - both advanced to the legend.
,etc.
But as the timeline progresses, more and more possibilities are being constrained - for example, Sheets missed the Xuanhuang Fruit and lost the possibility of continuing to fight with Professor Emma; Professor Emma lost an evenly matched opponent.
Competitors of the same state have stopped at the threshold of legend; for another example, Zheng Qing and the black goat cub accidentally fell into the black prison. The appearance of the two brought power above the starry sky and ancient times, directly erasing the war.
The possibility of further expansion; there is also the possibility that the Siren King Xiangliu (now known as Raleye) has successfully advanced into the Ancient One, giving back luck to the demon alliance and preventing its entire army from being annihilated, etc.
Every certain result erases the uncertainty of the future.
Xiao Xiao adjusted his glasses subconsciously.
"Did something happen?" he asked tentatively, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Since Professor Yi is talking about this topic with himself, it means that Professor Yi has done fortune-telling for him. As a fortune-teller, he clearly knows how precious it is to get the favor of a great fortune-teller. Similarly, to get the favor of a great fortune-teller
What the fortune teller is concerned about is so dangerous.
It seems that he guessed his thoughts.
Professor Yi shook his head slightly.
"It's not what you think," he smiled gently and comforted: "... being able to see your future is an 'accidental gain'. In fact, we accidentally discovered you while observing other people's futures.
figure."
Others?
us?
Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he keenly captured two key words - this means that today's conversation is based on someone who is related to him, and at the same time, it also means that Professor Yi represents more than just him today.
people's attitude.
The boy's expression became more serious.
Thoughts turn electrically.
"Is it Teacher Sima? My father? Well, Zheng Qing?"
It only took him three chances to guess the exact identity of 'someone' from the professor's admiring eyes, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart.
We just covered up a 'streaking' scandal for him this morning, and not even twelve hours later, he's in trouble again!
"I noticed that you have just completed a paper on the advanced transformation of elves recently, and you plan to publish it in the magazine "Alchemy", right?" The professor suddenly changed the subject and asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
question.
Although Xiao Xiao did this in a very low-key manner, it was not a dirty secret.
He hesitated and nodded.
"I can help you write a letter of recommendation. I believe that the quality of your paper can meet the review standards of "Alchemy"." Professor Yi made the decision for the boy in a brisk tone: "——Although I am not a professor of alchemy, my
The level of alchemy is still pretty good. The International Alchemist Congress invited me to give reports several times, but I refused."
Xiao Xiao certainly did not doubt the magic level of a great fortune teller.
"But, Professor, you..." He mumbled, becoming more and more confused as he didn't know why Professor Yi did this.
Professor Yi did not explain, but took out a letter from the drawer.
"This is a letter your father wrote to me."
He did not hand the letter to the boy, but pressed it on the desk, and simply described part of the content of the letter: "——Your father thinks that it is a waste of time for you to continue to stay in school, and asked me if there is any way for you to graduate early.
"
Xiao Xiao frowned and didn't say anything.
"I haven't replied yet because I think your opinion needs to be considered on this matter." Professor Yi looked at him quietly: "So, you need to give me a clear answer. Are you willing to leave the school?"
