"Because little Colma's understanding of the edge is not comprehensive enough."
The teacher did not ignore the boy's words, and answered Zheng Qing's complaint very seriously: "——The edge is a very huge concept. In a general sense, anything other than the core and the mainstream should be regarded as the edge. In this case
In concept, the edge seems to be limited to the peripheral or critical parts.
If society is a circle, then this definition is not wrong.
But in actual observation, we will find that the social structure is not always symmetrical and beautiful. Many times, it will take on the shape of an olive or cone. In this shape, every endpoint of it belongs to the 'mainstream'
'The edge part outside.
At this time, we can approximately draw a new conclusion - all parts that do not belong to the 'majority' belong to the margins - in order to verify the reliability of this theory, we can try to use other general principles to make inferences.
For example, in the concept of 'yin and yang', cathode and anode can be transformed into each other. In a sense, they have more 'commonality' than other parts of the whole, and this commonality can be summarized as 'marginality'.
To give a very simple example, the fish-man named Iseni in Linzhong Lake is a marginalized person at First University; similarly, Councilor Su from the Two-Dimensional Evolution Laboratory is also a marginalized person at First University."
"What kind of marginalized person is she?" Zheng Qing looked stunned and subconsciously retorted.
"Because she doesn't belong to the 'majority' either."
Mr. chuckled: "——Just like the new model I just mentioned, society is olive-shaped, and the edge can be either the endpoint below or the endpoint above. Both are small clusters 'excluded from the mainstream'
'The part... the lonely shadow on the cold river, drinking alone under the moon, no one at the bottom and the cold on the top of the mountain are just two sides of the yin and yang poles, the same loneliness and edge."
The young wizard who was listening to this violent argument was dumbfounded.
Thinking about it carefully, I think it makes some sense.
"——Those 'mainstream' people in the middle are so pitiful."
In the end, the young wizard could only curl his lips and asked with emotion: "You think the senior sister doesn't understand the margins well enough, but do I do the same? I also think Su Shijun is not a margin person!"
"But after you become the dean, you can attract groups like Senator Su to join the new fringe college."
The husband gave a subtle reminder: "Miss Colma does not have such charm...and expanding the audience will be very helpful for the marginal college to successfully establish a foothold in the league."
Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth.
Want to say something.
But I felt that it was inappropriate to say anything at this moment.
In the end, he could only give up on himself and said: "——You just patted your butt and walked away, leaving me with a lot of trouble. Sanyou Bookstore was stared at by those who slipped through the net in the high-dimensional world, and the relevant departments were targeted by those outside the school.
The home that covets the forbidden curse
Everyone is staring, now there is another fringe college, and the wizards who have objections to it are lined up from inside to outside the school. They can’t count them with ten fingers! How many nails can I drive with this small body... Are you?
Are you overestimating me?"
"That's why, I just emphasized that you are a bit underestimating yourself." The gentleman looked at him with a smile, and had no intention of taking back his thoughts: "——I only left this world after I cleaned up the cause and effect on my body.
Yes. When I leave, you will naturally inherit a lot of my inheritance, and it shouldn't be difficult to deal with a few minor troubles. If these words don't give you enough confidence, then we can do a small test to verify this."
The gentleman talked a lot.
Zheng Qing only heard the word 'heritage'.
Perhaps this was the most gratifying part of today's long conversation.
Like a buzzing fly, the young wizard opened his big bright eyes and rubbed his hands carefully: "Legacy? What legacy! A mount of a legendary dragon? Or a token to ask for help from other ancients? Or,
Eat a treasure that can lead to immortality and immortality in flesh and blood?"
The gentleman looked at him speechlessly.
"There is no token, no mount, and no treasure of immortality. All I can leave you is this room full of knowledge." As he spoke, the gentleman turned over his hands and took out a fruit: "——and this...
Xuanhuang fruit."
As soon as the fruit appeared, it immediately emitted a strange aroma that filled the small bookstore. On the shelves, many books were turning pages silently, as if they wanted to feel more of the aroma coming from the fruit.
Zheng Qing once again noticed the prying eyes behind the bookshelf.
This time, his feeling was not wrong.
Before he could raise his head, a ginger-yellow figure swooped between Mr. and Zheng Qing. He stuck his head out and looked at the fist-sized fruit, which was light yellow with traces of blood and looked like a peach.
It's a civet.
It puffed out its face and looked angry.
"Didn't you say it has been used?" it asked the gentleman in a bad tone.
"It has indeed been used." The gentleman glanced at the tabby cat and explained lightly: "For a wizard like me who has no sense of time, it doesn't matter whether this fruit was eaten in the past or in the future.
Essential difference."
There is really no sense of time.
Zheng Qing complained silently in his heart, but at this moment he also remembered the origin of this fruit.
During the Battle of Black Prison, the black yellow tree bore a total of seven fruits. One was snatched away by the multi-armed giant Kotos, one was snatched away by the dark beast Leviathan, and one fell into the hands of Professor Emma.
, one of them entered Professor Yao's stomach - the destination of these fruits was very clear, and there were no accidents.
The remaining three.
One fell into the hands of the alien goddess Illyros first. She was shocked and very wisely threw it away. In the end, the fruit bounced back to the battlefield and was taken advantage of by the uninvited guest who was still a black goat at the time.
The other one has passed through more times and has a more complicated experience. It was first snatched away by Tebilong, which emerged from the sea monster, and then fell into the hands of Zheng Qing. The wandering wizard used the discounted gold card he gave Zheng Qing to take the fruit away from him.
Zheng Qing 'replaced' it in his hands, but was forcibly taken away by the Rat Immortal and used to resurrect his daughter Juice.
Only the fate of the last fruit is unknown.
But I don’t know when it was taken away by my husband.
"The little test I'm talking about is very simple." The husband put the fruit into Zheng Qing's hands: "I give this fruit to you. You can choose to eat it yourself, give it to others, or throw it into the roadside after you go out.
In the trash can...I will not interfere with any outcome, but this outcome will determine whether you want to accept my three little troubles."
