Chapter 70 Batch Trust
Unlike the schedule that Aiwas was familiar with, the Royal Law University did not have the traditional "early eight classes".
The seminary's morning classes started at nine o'clock every day, and in the afternoon at three o'clock. There was only one class in the entire morning or afternoon, but it was not certain when it would end.
Usually, the instructor would bring an hourglass clock of forty minutes to one and a half hours according to the course schedule of his own course. Every time the sand ran out, it would make a crisp "ding-ling" sound.
After taking a break, going to the toilet or filling his stomach, the instructor would turn the hourglass over and start the second class. The class would end after the sand ran out for the second time.
Two hourglasses, one positive and one negative. This rule and timekeeping method is exactly the instructors' respect for the "sand clock", the pillar god of the balanced path.
He guards the concepts of "knowledge" and "science", and all the earliest "professional educators" and "professional researchers" in ancient civilizations are his apostles.
Although Aiwas went out relatively early, Lily pushed the wheelchair and they could not walk fast. It was ten o'clock when Aiwas arrived at the school gate, and when he and senior sister Haina arrived in front of the classroom, the class was almost over.
This class used a medium-sized hourglass, and one round lasted for an hour. This means that this history class, which is basically just reading textbooks, has to sit in the classroom for two hours, even without the break in the middle.
Although Professor Bud's class only has one per week. But this one class alone is very torturous.
If it were normal, students would start to get a little anxious ten minutes before Professor Bud's get out of class ended.
Pack up, drink some water, chat, and discuss with other students where to go to play later - for college students, it's a bit too early to eat at this time, but if they go out to play, the time is too tight. Usually they will go to play ball, cards or chess, or do experiments, study, do exercises and exercise.
Or just go to the playground to watch the handsome men and beautiful women in the sports department - this time is also the time for the "Individual Tactics" department to practice riding or swordsmanship. When they advance to the second year of the seminary and learn the art of illumination that can heal others through physical contact, this will be a great opportunity for them to find a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Now they can only watch the seniors snatch away the high-quality resources of the same grade, but they can't do anything.
But no matter what, it is definitely better than sitting here and being sleepy for two or three hours.
Fortunately, the professor has a good temper. Whether it is whispering or sleeping on the table, as long as it is not too outrageous, he generally doesn't care. Just tell your own story.
But today is different.
The sand in the hourglass is almost gone, and the students are indeed a little anxious.
But they are not in a hurry to go out and play, but want to listen to Aiwass continue to tell stories here.
They are afraid that when the sand runs out, Aiwass will go off work on time and shut up.
——Who will make up for our later plot?
Going out to play is okay every day, but this kind of vivid historical story can't be heard everywhere.
Even if Professor Budd spoke for three hours, the knowledge would flow out of their brains like water.
But they dared to swear that they could even tell the story told by Aiwass to others in the bar, dance or other social activities tonight! An interesting historical story that is mysterious enough, involves a large number of extraordinary people, and few people have heard of it, but at the same time it is not taboo - this is enough to make them the stars of the social scene in that short hour!
Even students who usually don't listen to the class took out their pens or pencils and began to take notes seriously.
"In the middle and late stages of the Rift War, these Moon Children were defeated. Because the Moon Children are immortal but cannot cross the flowing water, they were sealed up by the Narcissus Duke and controlled in a prison dug behind a waterfall. The first Narcissus Duke was the president of the Palace Alchemy Association, and he was also the vice president of the Mage Association. The title of Duke on him was given by the emperor at the last moment in the late empire, and he was also the last noble of the empire.
"The Narcissus Duchy pursues both the path of balance and wisdom, and their capital is the former imperial capital of the empire. This is the first spellcaster country in the entire continent, and even the world, where the top level is completely controlled by mages and alchemists - this may be the key point, students draw it. "
Ewass's tone is smooth and his voice is clear. He is very appealing to people.
He is not like some tutors hired from other places who have a strong dialect accent and strange grammar, which makes people have to work hard to figure out what the tutor means; nor is he like Professor Bud who speaks vaguely and has a flat tone, which makes people sleepy.
As a native of Glass Island, Ewas's Avalon language can be said to be extremely standard - unlike some tutors from Glass Island, their voices have obvious elven accents, which makes foreign students who are not familiar with elven language hear ambiguity. For example, Ewass's father James Moriarty is this type.
"And those moon children who were not sealed went to the former Imperial Art Association and established the Iris Kingdom together. The Duke of Black Hawk, who was stationed at the border and believed in the Lord of Scales and Feathers, was almost unscathed in this rift war because of his neutral attitude. Because the land of the Black Hawk Principality is fertile, they have taken in a large number of mercenaries and adventurers, as well as professional soldiers who have lost their income. Combined with the large number of hunters, pharmacists, and assassins trained by the Black Eagle Principality, they have become the country with the strongest military strength since the division of the empire. "
Lily, who was behind Aiwas, widened her eyes and looked at the young master sitting in a wheelchair in front of her in surprise.
Lily usually only knew that Aiwas did like to read some strange books at home, but because she strictly abided by the discipline of a personal maid, she had no idea that he was so knowledgeable!
She looked up at the students who looked at her quietly from the podium, and her brown pupils seemed to be shining.
Yes, this is it...
It's so beautiful, it's exactly the same as the university classroom in my dream!
When Aiwas said this, he smiled and said, "You must ask... Why was the Black Eagle Principality, as the only country that preserved a complete military system, annexed by Star Antimony?
"That's because the Star Antimony Kingdom inherited the largest legacy of the empire--"The demon scholars who were almost killed or injured by the Moon Son, and the necromancers who were targeted in the early stages of the Rift War as diehards of the old empire, as the biggest losers, had nowhere to go. At this time, the emerging alchemists from the 'Twelve Keys' who had seized a lot of funds and talents in the war gathered them together and established the Star Antimony Kingdom.
"The alchemist who took the lead in defecting from the Alchemy Association and founded the 'Twelve Keys' was Valentine I, the founder of the Star Antimony Kingdom. These folk alchemists, all of whom came from civilians and small nobles, did not destroy the aristocratic system of the old empire, but continued to use it, almost without changing the ancient imperial traditions. Even the laws and official systems were basically unchanged. Therefore, the people welcomed the rule of Valentine I more. Apart from the change of a more open-minded, younger emperor from the people, their lifestyle basically did not change much.
"This alchemist unified all the folk alchemists, declared the establishment of the country with alchemy, established a university to publicly teach alchemy knowledge, and lifted the ban on the sale of all alchemy books. The word Xingtan means "lion's heart", which is why the symbol of the Xingtan Kingdom is a golden heart.
"Different from the orthodox alchemy heritage of the Narcissus Principality. The alchemists of Xingtan did not aim to "understand the world" from the beginning, but to maximize the power to "change the world". They only create "useful things" and conduct research completely based on utilitarian nature and purpose.
"This is the biggest difference between 'Star Antimony Alchemy' and traditional alchemy. Part of the knowledge in our current 'chemistry' is taken from Star Antimony Alchemy. There is no doubt, students - I believe this must be the key point. This is why the national strength of the Star Antimony Kingdom has increased so quickly, and it can even annex the powerful Narcissus Principality and Black Eagle Principality in turn."
Alchemists are arrogant. No one can make all the alchemists in a country conduct research in a designated field for the benefit of the ruler and the country.
- Unless this path is chosen by the alchemists themselves.
"During the Rift War, Valentin I constantly captured, studied, and analyzed those moon children... and finally demystified part of the mysterious knowledge of the Path of Love and turned it into his own power.
"After that, Valentin I proposed a brand new concept: he believed that the Philosopher's Stone was impossible to achieve. It violated one of the essences of the Path of Balance, 'equivalent exchange', so the Philosopher's Stone was no longer one of the three ultimate goals of the alchemist.
"He added a new ultimate goal, which is another path given in his book "The Triumphal Chariot of Antimony" - to achieve the upgrading of antimony and create "Star Antimony". Before this, antimony was not one of the "seven basic metals" valued by traditional alchemy, and the alchemical research on antimony began with Valentine I.
"Because antimony represents animal nature in alchemy, the refinement of antimony also means the refinement and sublimation of animal nature.
"In other words - as long as the method is right, mortals can become gods. This is the core concept of Star Antimony."
When Aiwass said this, the bell of the hourglass on the table just rang. The content of the book just finished.
When the bell rang, the students complained.
"Ah, is it over?"
"Professor, let Aiwass continue to talk!"
After all, the "history" Aiwass said was filled with details that were only mentioned in history books.
In this world, secrets are wealth and knowledge is power.
What he said also involved a lot of superficial knowledge about alchemy. For Avalon, where alchemy has only been around for 20 years, these are things that most students cannot access and are curious about.
Just like those UP hosts who popularize unconventional and advanced knowledge, their videos will also make those viewers who are too lazy to listen in class concentrate and watch them seriously.
Aihua deliberately turned to the conflict of the Tao and focused on alchemy for this scene.
He remembered that even an excellent student like Senior Sister Haina could not resist the charm of this thing. Although part of the reason is that the senior sister has an adaptability beyond the Tao and is very rebellious... But this also shows that although the Queen's special alchemy exists, it is also an extremely mysterious existence even in the Royal Law University.
Then these freshmen are naturally even more irresistible.
Evans was already two months behind, and he was the son of a professor and had a close relationship with Haina. This would actually alienate his classmates from Aiwas.
But he knew it.
There were a lot of side quests hidden among these students - although he had forgotten the details and triggering methods of many quests, he clearly remembered the large area of dense white question marks on the map. He also remembered the most critical rewards.
When he first entered the school in the plot, he just skipped the opening CG and saw these question marks, and he couldn't help but blurt out "WTF".
In the game, as an unknown outsider and a player without old classmates, you have to go through at least two tasks when you come into contact with these classmates. The first task is usually to solve some problems and troubles and gain the trust of the other party. When facing some difficult classmates, you may have to do a complicated task chain.
The second task, or the last task in the task chain, is the real "task". After completing it, you can get a lot of money, props and books, or open the reputation and secret shops of some places.
It's too troublesome to do them one by one, and it's a waste of time.
Aiwass appeared in such a brilliant way, one of his purposes was to make his presence felt and let his classmates remember him. He also established a "mysterious, gentle and knowledgeable" persona... Later, he would establish a "powerful and helpful" persona, which was equivalent to using his reputation to directly skip the initial "trust task".
Looking at the unusually friendly and amiable reactions of his classmates, Aiwass knew that his primary task had obviously been completed!
It was all thanks to the assists from the senior and the professor.
Aiwass, who had a mysterious BUFF similar to that of a "transfer student", had a much better effect than if he had enrolled normally!
