"I think it's a wise choice to tell all about 'those things' all at once."
After the middle-aged man returned to his research institute, a man in a white coat who had been following him spoke.
It was obvious that the middle-aged man knew something else important.
For middle-aged men, the value of the things they discover is much higher than the value of things discovered by others. Such an unequal exchange of information will naturally not make it easy.
Moreover, the metal objects outside the underground fortress did make the middle-aged man concerned.
"By the way, other than that, is there any progress?"
The middle-aged man in the white coat did not answer the question, but asked on his own.
"Ah, before that, I had arranged for people to go through various documents left over from the past, and finally found some clues during the second industrial revolution."
"Oh? Tell me."
"During the Second Industrial Revolution, science and magic had a brief collaboration."
"Wait... cooperation? Why cooperation? Was it the decision made by the chairman of the board at that time?"
The Second Industrial Revolution happened sixty years ago. It is said that Academy City already existed at that time. However, at that time, the chairman of the board did not know who he was...
There has been only one recorded Chairman of the Board, Aleister Crowley. Of course, Academy City’s Chairman of the Board has always been Aleister Crowley.
Such a possibility is naturally ruled out.
Academy City was born after the first industrial revolution, at least 0 years ago. Even if the current technology is quite advanced, but to increase a person's life to more than 0 years, no matter what era it is in
These are all unscientific things.
Therefore, only middle-aged men have such doubts.
However, the results seemed unsatisfactory.
"Sorry, there is currently no record of this issue in any information."
"Okay, I understand, just keep talking."
The white coat nodded, and then continued: "Although the specific reasons for that cooperation cannot be investigated, in the end the cooperation ended hastily, and there were no specific matters that could reflect the results of 'cooperation'.
"
"In other words, there is no evidence to prove that there was indeed cooperation sixty years ago?"
"That's right...but there are a few stone slabs left behind."
These are the slates that the middle-aged man had been holding in his hands before.
There are strange characters carved on the stone slab, just like the ancient seal script, but it is not the ancient seal script. It is a script that may be older than the ancient seal script. Since it is not clear what kind of script it is, the method of interpretation is also unknown.
But one thing is certain, this is the product left over from that collaboration - the only product.
"Although there is no definite certainty, if you can decipher the language on this stone tablet, you should be able to control those things, right?"
…
In an era when science and the supernatural have not yet been distinguished, when people see any religious miracles and the power of natural abilities that are only cultivated in specific environments, they don't know what they are, but it is also caused by ignorance.
Understanding longing results in the idea that one also wants to be special and is unwilling to settle for the ordinary. This is the beginning.
It is precisely because of this that, strictly speaking, magic is really a heresy.
After the emergence of the idea of not being willing to be ordinary, magic is destined to be rejected.
But... I didn't become special just because I didn't want to be ordinary! Chen Xiaofeng was leaning on the chair of the new teacher in the new environment out of boredom, and he looked so bored.
Pursuing real miracles through human power. This idea itself is considered blasphemous and is also a relatively mainstream opinion.
"Ha~"
Feeling sleepy in spring and sleepy in autumn... Chen Xiaofeng looked at Haqie with tears in his eyes. As expected, he still couldn't take things like class seriously.
Snapped--
What hit Chen Xiaofeng's forehead was Yue Yong Xiaomeng's chalk attack on the podium. Although Chen Xiaofeng had the ability to reflect such things, as a student, he was not bold enough to go against the teacher.
Therefore, I can only act like a good baby at the moment.
"Really, the teacher understands the objective reasons why you are unable to attend class due to the sudden change of learning environment, but since it is a class, I still have to ask you to listen carefully. Teacher, this is for your own good. In the future, after you graduate, the teacher hopes that you will
Being able to proudly say to others, 'Look, these are the students I taught'..."
With a height of 135cm, Teacher Yue Yong would appear to be extremely tall when teaching. However, Chen Xiaofeng still slapped him indifferently. Now Teacher Yue Yong no longer has the famous "Ten Tortures", even if it is a little bit
It's okay to be lazy.
Moreover, in this case, Chen Xiaofeng had already heard the callus when he was in Tianchao.
This is a common practice used by teachers in China. However, the students here seem to be quite fond of it.
"Besides!" Teacher Yue Yong suddenly made a turn, "Besides, it's you who made the teacher waste so much time - classmate Chen Xiaofeng!"
After being moved with emotion and understanding with reason, Teacher Yue Yong couldn't help but mention Chen Xiaofeng's name when she discovered that the pair had no repentance and the intention to make a new start.
"Dear classmate Chen, do you know your grade ranking last semester?"
When his name was called, Chen Xiaofeng stood up awkwardly and scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"Probably...probably a countdown, right?"
"It's not roughly, it's a complete bottom! But fortunately, classmate Chen, you are not the last, but the second to last, which is gratifying. For this, you should be grateful to Chun Yuan, who is still sleeping next to you.
." There was a smile on Teacher Xiaomeng's lips, but Chen Xiaofeng could not detect any smile.
"For this...should I say thank you very much?" Chen Xiaofeng couldn't figure out Teacher Yueyong's emotions.
Even Teacher Yueyong was defeated by Chen Xiaofeng's slowness.
"Classmate Chen, although I'm sorry for what I said next, I still want to ask, are you and Minato really born to the same parents?"
"This...probably..."
After all, no matter how good he is in dealing with people or how good his academic performance is, compared with Chen Xiaofeng, they are both in the sky and on the earth. And Chen Xiaofeng will always be the one on the ground.
"Xiao Minato, don't be this guy's sister." Teacher Yue Yong couldn't bear it any more, and she began to change her name for Chen Xiaofeng.
"Huh?" Minato made a cute sound of surprise.
"Teacher, don't do this!"
"In that case! If you can answer the questions I asked, I will let you go, hehehe~" Teacher Yueyong laughed like a profiteer.
"Okay! For the sake of my sister, I will make a bet once!" Chen Xiaofeng's body and mind were inexplicably on fire.
Minato looked at the teacher-student pair speechlessly...
I always feel that things are developing in a strange direction...
