“Because Colma’s understanding of the edge is not comprehensive enough.”
The gentleman did not ignore the boy's words and answered Zheng Qing's complaint very seriously: "——Edge is a very huge concept. In general, outside of the core and mainstream, they should be considered marginal. In this concept, edges seem to be limited to peripheral parts or critical parts.
If society is a circle, then this definition is not wrong.
But in actual observations, we will find that the social structure is not always symmetrical and graceful. Many times, it will take an olive-like or vertebral shape. In this form, each endpoint belongs to the edge part outside the ‘mainstream’.
At this time, we can draw a new conclusion approximately - all parts that do not belong to the 'most' are marginal - in order to verify the reliability of this theory, we can try to use other general principles to infer.
For example, in the concept of "yin and yang", the cathode and the anode can be transformed into each other. In a sense, they have more "commonities" than other parts of the whole, and this commonness can be summarized as "marginality".
To give a very simple example, the fishman named Iseni in Linzhong Lake is the marginal person at the First University; similarly, Senator Su from the Two-Dimensional Evolution Laboratory is also the marginal person at the First University."
"What kind of marginal person is she?" Zheng Qing looked stunned and subconsciously retorted.
"Because she is not one of the 'most' either."
The gentleman chuckled: "——Like the new model I just mentioned, society is olive-shaped, and the edges can be either the lower endpoint or the upper endpoint. Both are small clusters of 'exclusion' parts'... The lonely shadow of the cold river, drinking alone under the moon, the uninvited person on the bottom and the high ground on the top of the mountain are cold, but the two sides of the yin and yang poles, are the same lonely and edge."
This violent statement made the young wizard stunned.
I thought about it carefully, but I felt that it made some sense.
“—The 'mainstream' in the middle are so pitiful.”
The young wizard finally could only curl his lips, and then sighed, and asked back: "Do you think the senior sister does not have enough understanding of the edge, but I am the same? I also think Su Shijun is not a marginal person!"
"But when you become the dean, you can attract groups like Senator Su to join the new Fringe Academy."
Mr. Mister's vague reminder: "Miss Colma does not have such charm... and expanding the audience will be very helpful for the Fringe Academy to successfully gain a foothold in the league."
Zheng Qing pulled the corners of his mouth.
Want to say something.
But I feel that nothing is appropriate to say at this moment.
In the end, he could only give in and said: "——You patted your butt and left it, leaving me with a lot of trouble. Sanyou Bookstore was stared at by the fish that escaped from the high-dimensional world, and the relevant departments were stared at by those guys who covet the forbidden curse outside the school. Now there is another marginal academy. The wizards who have opinions about it are lined up from the school to the outside of the school, and they can't count them after breaking their ten fingers! I can only make a few nails on my small body... Are you a little overestimating me?"
"That's why, I just emphasized that you are a little underestimating yourself." The gentleman looked at him with a smile, without any intention of retracting his thoughts: "—I left this world after I cleared the cause and effect on my body. When I left, you will naturally inherit many of my legacy, and it should not be difficult to deal with a few small troubles. If these words have not given you enough confidence, then we can do a small test to verify this."
The gentleman said a lot of words.
Zheng Qingwei heard the word "legacy".
Perhaps this is the most gratifying part of today's long conversation.
The young wizard was like a whimpering fly, with his big bright eyes open, and carefully rubbed his hands: "Legend? What legacy! The mount of a legendary dragon? Or tokens for help from other ancient people? Or, if you eat a treasure that can be immortal and immortal, flesh and blood?"
The gentleman looked at him speechlessly.
"No token, no mount, no treasure of immortality. All I can leave to you is this room full of knowledge." As he spoke, the gentleman flipped his hand and took out a fruit: "——and this mysterious yellow fruit."
As soon as the fruit appeared, it immediately emitted a strange fragrance, which filled this small bookstore. On the shelf, many books were silently turning the pages, as if they wanted to feel the fragrance coming from the fruit.
Zheng Qing once again noticed the peering eyes behind the bookshelf.
This time, he felt nothing wrong.
Before he could look up, a ginger figure jumped between the husband and Zheng Qing, leaned his head and looked at the fruit that was the size of a fist, mixed with a hint of blood in the light yellow, like a peach.
It's a yellow flower raccoon.
It bulged its face and looked angry.
"Didn't you say it has been used up?" It questioned Mr. in a bad tone.
"It has indeed been used up." The gentleman glanced at the cat and explained Qingpiaopiao: "For a wizard like me who has no concept of time, there is no essential difference between this fruit being eaten in the past or in the future."
Really no concept of time.
Zheng Qing was silently complaining in his heart, but at this moment he also remembered the origin of this fruit.
During the Battle of Black Prison, the Xuanhuang tree had seven fruits in total. One was stolen by the multi-armed giant Kotos, one was stolen by the dark beast Leviathan, one fell into Professor Aimah's hands, and one entered Professor Yao's stomach. The whereabouts of these fruits were very clear, and there were no accidents.
The remaining three.
One of them first entered the hands of the goddess Eli Rose in another world. She was shocked and threw it out very wisely. In the end, the fruit was bounced back to the battlefield and was picked up by an uninvited guest who was still a black goat at that time.
The other one has more hand-passed times and has a more complicated experience. It was initially taken away by the Tebilong, which was combined into the Siren, and then fell into Zheng Qing's hands. The wandering wizard used the discounted gold card for Zheng Qing to "replace" the fruit from Zheng Qing, but was forcibly taken away by the Rat Immortal to resurrect his daughter's Juice.
Only the last fruit is unknown.
But I don’t know when the teacher took it away.
"The little test I mentioned is very simple." The gentleman stuffed the fruit into Zheng Qing's hand: "You can give this fruit to you. You can choose to eat it yourself, or give it to others, or throw it into the trash can on the side of the road after going out... I will not interfere with any result, but this result will determine whether you want to accept my three little troubles."
