Chapter 308

Before you know it, more than half a month has passed since the new semester, and after a period of running-in, many students began to slowly adapt to the new college life. Compared with the first grade, which has more group activities, today's second grade is more focused on personal direction.

The most obvious example is the arrangement of courses. In the first grade, 80% of the curriculum is the same, but now only 40% are the same, and as the follow-up deepens, there will be fewer and fewer courses in common. More and more specializing in a certain aspect, maybe finally, only the combat class is the place where the classmates will definitely meet.

Rosie's class today is the "Church Affairs Class" that must be learned in the second grade at Temple College, and the teaching location is not elsewhere, it is a cemetery on the north side of the college, halfway up the mountain.

Teachers in black robes walked in front, followed by more than 80 second-grade students, all wearing uniform black or white robes.

There was a slight drizzle in the sky, and the hoods of the students were pulled up one by one. As the team entered the cemetery, everyone rarely spoke, and the atmosphere became a little more solemn. The people in black and white robes gathered together, thinking that they were going to hold some special religious ceremony.

The steles in the cemetery are arranged one by one in an orderly manner, engraved with names, personal stories, and some small portraits, inlaid in the steles. Walking in the cemetery, you can see many green grasses growing along the path, half withered and decaying leaves on the ground, broken pine nuts, half branches buried in the soil, etc. Occasionally, a few birds with yellow and green feathers land on the branches. , looked at the crowd below, made a chirping cry, and then flew away with his companions.

The teacher walks in front, talking while walking.

"Many of the people buried here graduated from Emenas. Some of them lived a wonderful life, some lived a life of mediocrity, and some died young."

"The tombstone roughly records the trajectory of his life, but most of it is abbreviated. If you really want to understand it in detail, you have to look at the archives kept in the academy."

"If you look and understand more, you will understand that maybe these past lives and stories are your future future."

Having said this, the teacher paused. "But even if I say so, I'm afraid everyone still won't have any special insights. Maybe when you go back to school 30 years after graduation, you will definitely gain more by coming here."

"Today I'm going to explain the planting and cultivation of 'Dusk Flower'. Generally speaking, Temple College is not as focused on plant cultivation as City Wall College, but there are a few that must be learned. Flowers are."

"This plant is often found in cemeteries, or near churches, and is named for the faint fluorescence it emits at night."

Then the teacher picked a sprout from the cemetery and showed it to the students.

"This kind of flowers and plants can absorb the residual magic power in Mana and the corpse, and extract a relatively pure undead sequence magic power."

"Compared with the necromancer's rude awakening of corpses to form an army in the past, 'Dark Light Flower' is much gentler and more easily accepted by the world."

"I think you may not have experienced that desolate era, and you don't understand how shocking and scary it is to watch your dead relatives stand up with carrion, stench, and corpse worms."

"In order to maintain the magic power consumption of this army of undead, the Necromancer must continue to fight to support the war, killing and capturing more ancient cemeteries."

"This is also the reason for the collapse of the Mercurial Dynasty in the later period, because they who conquered the mainland could no longer find a large number of new corpses."

"In addition, 'Dusk Flower' also has the effect of reassuring the soul and purifying. Nowadays, it is rarely heard that there will be corpses and undead chaos in cemeteries, and it is also because of its function. After being absorbed and purified by 'Dusk Flower', the cemetery, Other wild necromancers have come, and it is difficult to use the corpses in them."

"It's like the firewood has been burnt clean and can't burn anymore."

Then a student raised his hand, the teacher nodded in approval, and the student asked.

"Does that mean that the 'Dark Light Flower' will absorb the souls of the dead, which means that these flowers are blooming from the souls of the dead, I think this is even more terrifying."

"This question is very classic. It was discussed within the church before, and later there were special supernatural beings to explore and experiment. The final conclusion is that the 'Dark Light Flower' will not affect the soul, it is just a simple refinement of the scattered mana and corpse. A complex magic. If I have to say that it is related to the soul, it is that it has the effect of reassuring the soul, which can make the ghost calm down and not easily become irritable."

"If it weren't for this, other people, including the church itself, would have opposed the planting of 'Dusk Flower' long ago. Killing a soul is actually not much different from killing someone."

Roland Hill walked aside, and squatted down slowly, looking at the small plant next to her, closing her eyes and slowly sensing, her consciousness gradually immersed in the ground, and her perception ability became stronger after she was upgraded to Sequence 4. Some.

Most of the deceased in the cemetery have decayed over time, leaving only the bones in the coffin, which are not unusual, and the few deceased who have just entered this place still have some fragments of magic and consciousness. It is a pity that the soul is like a mirror. After it is broken with death, even if it is recklessly put together, it is not the same person it used to be. Even if resurrected as a ghost, only the larger one wakes up, most of them only have simple emotions, and very few have the wisdom of living people.

The white and slender petals are placed in the quiet cemetery. At night, they emit a faint blue fluorescence, which is not obvious. A little candle may not see this faint light.

The voice of the teacher in the distance continued.

"Although the 'Dark Light Flower' was originally used to purify the tomb

Garden and refining magic power to prevent the gnawing of necromancers or Chaos Calamities, but for now, its greatest effect is on the other hand. "

"That is, brewing." There was a hint of excitement in the teacher's voice, and the students around were wrong.

"Yes, just as the Church of Angels was originally established to suppress and purge the local remnants of chaos, and then became a place of medical treatment and prayer, the development of things is always so wonderful."

"The maintenance of churches and monasteries in various places is not a small expense. Although the priests of the church can obtain a certain income through treatment, after all, most of the people are civilians, and they cannot set too high a price, and selling wine becomes a problem. Another source of income for the church."

"After graduation, if you go to work in the church, most of them will become the priests of the churches in various places. Naturally, you have to worry about income and expenditure, and planting flowers and wine are the subjects you must learn."

Roland Hill listened to the teacher's increasingly encouraging words, and it was hard to imagine that the teacher was not a wine lover. At the same time, all the good expectations of the students for the Angel Church in the past were also broken, and the ideal finally came into reality.

In the past, everyone thought that if I became a high priest in the future, I would definitely save lives and help the wounded, win all kinds of gratitude, support from the front and back, and occasionally come to a few big nobles to sponsor a sum of money.

In fact, in the backcountry, there is not a single Mud-legged Viscount for a hundred or eighty miles. They are all farmers or miners in the fields and mountains. To build a church, you have to build bricks yourself and find resources.

Although the students of Emenas will definitely not be wasted by the church in such a small place after graduation, it is undeniable that most pastors of the church are actually not that rich, and making wine and selling money is also a means of livelihood and stability for the bottom-level priests. income.

It may be difficult for everyone to understand, but the fact is that priest winemaking is not uncommon.

The first is famine. For a long time after the chaotic disaster, the land has been eroded and it is difficult to grow, and food is often in short supply. Occasionally, in a good harvest year, it will be turned into wine for storage. Many nutrients in the grain are integrated into the wine, so it can be Longer-term preservation without rotting and worms.

The second is hygiene. Alcohol has an anti-virus effect. In this world where there is no universal water treatment method, drinking water in most areas is actually unsanitary, while alcohol is much cleaner and has few germs.

In the end, it was the church’s pacification method. After the collapse of the past beliefs, angels quickly became the spiritual sustenance of many people at the bottom. The church that was originally used to receive various chaos-related news has also become a place for many people to talk and pray. The pastors of the church are also happy to see it, because they can receive certain donations. However, the priests could not solve the various demands of the general public, so low-alcohol alcohol with a stabilizing effect has also become a good medicine for relieving anxiety.

So in the new semester, the students of Temple College first learned not about life philosophy, classics of teachings, nor about life-saving or medical knowledge, but how to have a stable ability to make money first.

After all, without solving the most basic life problems, it is difficult for people to have the leisure to think about those advanced philosophies.
