Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Four The Gentleman's Way Three
When Mr. Wu told Zheng Qing the word "brave men have no fear" and told him that the most terrifying thing in the world is the "truth", although Zheng Qing looked serious on the surface, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.
What truth could be more terrifying than having a forbidden curse seed in his body? Repeated experiences have already polished the young wizard's nerves to incomparable tenacity.
Therefore, when he heard that demons and wizards have the same essence, and that wizard society is also a society where people cannibalize people, the young public-sponsored student's expression was exaggerated, but his mood was not too disturbed.
Then the husband told him that there was a black and yellow tree in the black prison, and the black and yellow fruit on it could help the demon transform and save the wizard who was corrupted by the evil spirit.
Zheng Qing's eyes moved slightly, and a stone was dropped in his heart.
Whether it was the shortcut that could break through the great wizard and become a legend, or the truth about the professors busy in the dark prison, it all made the wizard feel a little more worried.
Then the husband told him that Professor Yao was an old monster who had lived for who knows how long.
The stone suddenly grew in size and turned into a huge boulder, hitting the smooth mirror-like surface of the lake deep in the heart of the young wizard. Zheng Qing finally felt how terrifying the 'truth' could be.
"I always thought that only children are impulsive, and adults are very rational." The young wizard thought about what his husband had just said, and murmured his thoughts.
The gentleman adjusted his glasses and had a faint smile on his face.
"Adults... there are no real adults. Most of the adults you see are just grown-up children. Not to mention, there are many children who never want to grow up."
Yes, to you, everyone is a child.
The young public-sponsored student cursed in his heart, and then worried: "Do all the school professors know about this? What if Professor Yao suddenly develops an appetite one day?"
"Not everyone can accept the facts." After Mr. answered the first question simply and tactfully, he answered the second question in a little more detail: "As for the issue of appetite control... Some of the tobacco that Lao Yao usually smokes
Soaked in wizard's blood. Those blood packs were provided by the school hospital, and Bella has been monitoring his usage very strictly."
Zheng Qing twitched the corner of his mouth.
The relationship between Mrs. Bella and Professor Yao in the school hospital is subtle, and many classmates have noticed it. But before, most people, including Zheng Qing, thought that Mrs. Bella and Professor Yao were lovers when they were young.
Reality gave him a hard slap in the face.
Romantic and beautiful love is just a story in a storybook after all. The reality has always been cruel and despairing.
"Actually, you can tell everyone the truth." The young wizard sighed deeply, and his eyes fell on a small puddle on the edge of the grass.
Not long ago, the ant that crawled away from the grass at his feet was staggering forward near the small puddle. The ginger mud spots were like thick nets, binding the ant's legs and feet, making it move forward every step.
They all had to struggle hard.
"There is really nothing to hide." The husband was unexpected and agreed with the boy's point of view, but then he put forward an irrefutable metaphor: "But it is like a pot that has been used for a long time. The surface has been washed clean. One day
Even when it was turned over, the bottom was still black... Everyone just wanted to eat the delicious food stewed in the pot, and no one wanted to see the dark bottom of the pot."
"You can imagine, if we told the wizards in the school that those guys who like to eat your flesh and blood are actually the same type of existence as you, and some of them are even your familiar neighbors, friends, and colleagues... Then
How dire is this going to get?”
"Most wizards can't even accept harming a rabbit. How do you think they would react to the fact that their neighbor or colleague was once an ogre?"
"Why would those wizards who knew the truth keep such a secret?" As soon as Zheng Qing asked this question, he immediately woke up and said, "Oh, silence contract!"
On his first day at school, he signed a silence contract with Yuexia Airlines of the Umbrella Alliance, and at the cost of being 'silent' about the details of the accident that happened on the special plane, he obtained the custody of the group of elves.
After entering the school for nearly a year, Zheng Qing signed many silent contracts piecemeal as various accidents occurred. Therefore, he had a very deep understanding of the binding force of this contract.
"Of course, of course. The silent contract is naturally the most important reason." As he spoke, the gentleman took out a piece of crumpled parchment from somewhere, and at the same time gave Zheng Qing a quill pen, gesturing for him to sign:
"...This is why there is a monopoly on information possession in the market. But on the other hand, we can never deny that under certain circumstances, some wizards will break the constraints of the silence contract..."
Speaking, Mr. Zheng Qing winked:
"It's just that those wizards who can break through the shackles of the silence contract basically have a deep understanding of the nature of magic and wizards. Naturally, they won't tell others in a fuss."
Zheng Qing took the quill pen and signed in the corner of the parchment.
Then he watched his name burn up with a line of fire.
"I thought you were giving me lessons because you wanted to teach me how to fight monsters." Zheng Qing looked at the scorched black spot on the parchment and said with emotion: "...or maybe you want to teach me how to protect the Black Prison.
"
How to fight monsters, or... He glanced at his husband's expression and said boldly, or how to protect the Black Prison.
Although Zheng Qing is not smart, he is not stupid either, and with a think tank like Xiao Xiao and a know-it-all like Fatty Xin, You Zui has long ago confirmed internally that the Black Prison will be attacked by monsters - which is likely to affect the entire wizarding world.
Great war.
Zheng Qing originally thought that this was the purpose of his teacher giving him lessons.
The gentleman laughed.
"Those things in the Black Prison, no matter how hard it is, can only create one or two more ancient demons." He took off his glasses and rubbed the corners of his eyes: "Do you think I will spend my precious time on such a trivial matter?"
Zheng Qing secretly smacked his tongue.
Perhaps only your husband would think that the birth of one or two ancient demons is a small matter.
"...I give you lessons because I want to lead you to understand some of the more essential things about being a wizard." The gentleman put on his glasses again, looked at the young wizard, and his expression became much more serious: "It has nothing to do with magic, and nothing to do with spells.
It has nothing to do with the world...certain deeper and more essential concepts exist inside the wizard's body."
"When you reach a certain point in the future, you will realize the importance of 'essence'. But at that time, you will have no chance to go back and correct your essence... I am very optimistic about you, and you can go so far.
"
"Sir, how far is that far?"
"Probably farther than the distance I'm walking now."
"Sir, what is the essence of what you are talking about?"
"It is a concept of being a human being. It is a concept that is born out of the self and transcends the self. As the saying goes, the three principles of the gentleman's way are that I am incompetent. It is said that the benevolent do not worry, the knowledgeable do not be confused, and the brave do not fear."
