—If you want to ask, what is Delphinium’s impression of Sogo Island where they first met.
Then, her answer is "sacred and solemn".
When Delphinium followed Russell out of the private airship, they were actually mentally prepared to be surrounded by layers of reporters.
This is not an exaggeration. She is even 100% sure that if the "mysterious private airship from other islands suddenly landed at the airport" happened on Happy Island, then at least seven newspapers would have reported it before the airship landed.
Use your own methods to get to the airport.
And no matter which newspaper arrived first, when reporters from Tian'en Daily arrived on armed helicopters, they had to reluctantly give up enough space around them.
Immediately afterwards, as long as you get off the airship, you can see the flash on your face, and then your face will enter the live broadcast room of Tian'en Daily; a bunch of journalists have to watch the live broadcast room of Tian'en Daily to extract key points in order to compete for timeliness.
He started making up information quickly. Before the live broadcast ends, news feeds from major media will be directly photographed on the faces of the viewers who are watching the live broadcast.
The coolest thing is that the news details of each company are not exactly the same. One highlight is that a hundred flowers are blooming.
However, when they left the airship, Delphinium did not see any reporters appearing in front of him. Accompanied by the melodious and low chants rang out in the airport, two white-haired old men with long beards were looking at each other.
He was waiting for them at the door of the airship with a solemn expression.
They all wore steel-colored, helmet-like goggles on their faces.
There are three lenses at about the position of the eyes. Two smaller ones are at the eye position, and the larger one is between the eyebrows. And these lenses are all glowing. The one on a person's face is glowing bright yellow.
light, and the other is red light.
Because they all emit light, if you look in from the outside, you can't see their eyes through the light.
And they wore long-sleeved white robes that covered their hands and feet, and silk white gloves. On their chests, there were similar but subtly different logos belonging to the SOGO Group—it was at least the size of a head.
The five-pointed star is also shining with the same color as their eye patches. One is bright yellow, the other is red. And as they breathe, the light on their chests continues to flicker on and off.
Delphinium's first reaction was: Is this some kind of RGB cultist? It also has its own breathing light effect.
Seeing Russell and Delphinium, they bowed their heads and saluted at the same time, drew a five-pointed star on their chests along the light path, and then clasped their hands together: "Are these two Mr. Ultramarine and Ms. Delphinium?"
"-Yes, parishioner."
Seeing Delphinium still a little stunned, Russell came over from behind Delphinium.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched his eyebrows, and then clicked on the largest lens on their foreheads. Delphinium suddenly felt hesitant.
It seemed like some kind of ritual, but Russell didn't tell himself what to do on the way.
Just when she was hesitating whether she should follow Russell's example, she saw Russell reaching out and gently supporting her shoulders. So Delphinium immediately understood that this meant to tell her not to move.
Seeing Russell's return gift, the two old men nodded cheerfully.
The "golden" old man introduced himself to Russell: "I'm offended, fellow believer. I can feel your sincere spiritual energy. May God bless you."
"Introduce yourself, you can call me "prefrontal cortex". This is "insula"." "Two doctors came to see me, what's the matter?"
Russell asked softly.
"It's nothing, kid. Don't be nervous. The elves have entrusted us to take a look. When the wanderer returns home, we should take more care of him."
When Dr. "Nao Dao" heard this, he made a gentle and kind voice - only then did Delphinium realize that this old man with a shaved head and a flat figure was actually an old woman.
"Prefrontal Cortex" nodded: "I heard you haven't been back for a long time.
Sogo Island has not been peaceful recently."
"What happened?" Russell asked warily.
The prefrontal cortex was about to explain, but the insula stopped him. "It's not a big deal."
The old woman said gently: "A bunch of little kids are ignorant and just messing around. Don't worry too much about them. "We have prepared the car. Please come with us."
Delphinium heard this and looked back at Russell with some confusion. If she remembered correctly,
The reason why she and Russell came to Sogo Island was because Russell wanted to take her back to his hometown to see it, right? Why does it sound like this is really a task given by the elf director?
—This doesn’t seem right, does it? Isn’t the chairman Russell himself? Then why can the “elves” know that they will come here?
Russell shook his head slightly, indicating that this was not the place to talk. But seeing that Russell was not nervous, Delphinium breathed a sigh of relief.
Russell looked at Delphinium and was still a little overwhelmed, so he took the initiative to reach out and hold her hand. After holding Russell's hand firmly, Delphinium relaxed a little.
After all, it was the first time I left my hometown. And I went to a place I had never been before. It was reasonable for the delphinium to blow up its feathers.
Looking at their little actions, the two old men just smiled kindly and happily. "The relationship is really good."
Dr. Naodao said cheerfully: "My grandson is almost your age, but no matter how hard you push him to find a wife, start a family, he won't budge. He would rather take care of other people's children in a missionary school than have one of his own."
's children."
Russell interjected: "If he is so caring, he should have been commended by the district bishop, right?"
"Yes, he just received the second commendation this year, and in about two or three years he will receive the third commendation and be promoted to bishop. My grandson, although he just doesn't find a wife and doesn't listen to me, but he
The teaching level and attitude are very good."
The old lady babbled and said: "Although he always finds me annoying, he is also very filial and comes back to see me often. That child is hard-spoken and soft-hearted and is even occasionally bullied by his students. But he is also popular among the students.
Every year on St. Peter's Day, we can accept the paper flower baskets made by the children."
".Is he a primary school teacher?" Delphinium whispered.
She is not a talkative person, so she suddenly spoke just to relieve her tension.
Delphinium could clearly feel that the heart in her chest was beating uneasily - this was such a rare and clear tension that even made her feel strange. If there were no strangers present, she would
He would definitely grab Russell's hand and put it on his chest, letting him feel the intense beating of his heart.
"If you are in a church school, you cannot call yourself a primary school teacher." It was not the two of them who explained, but Russell next to Delphinium. He said softly: "That should be called a 'priest'."
"Priest?"
"Well. If it's a higher level, it's 'bishop'." Russell replied.
Is the relationship between the Cyber Church and the Sogo Group so close on Sogo Island? Delphinium vaguely realized something.
Those two "doctors", if nothing else, should be senior researchers belonging to the Sogo Group. But the grandson of the old lady is serving as a "priest" in a church school and a primary school teacher.
In Happy Island, the status of "teacher" - specifically a pre-college "teacher" - is quite low.
Because the best teachers have all been hired as tutors for rich people. If they were any better, they would be directly "bought out" by rich people with several times more money, which is to ask
They should not teach other students at the same time. Through this method, the difficulty of admission to Tian'en University can also be minimized.
Only teachers who no one wants will teach in primary and secondary schools. Their purpose is to teach ordinary "salary slaves".
No matter how good the teacher is and how caring he or she is,
There is no point in the students' further education.
—Because the knowledge required to be admitted to Tianen University in Happy Island is not within the scope of teaching in middle schools at all.
The "College Entrance Examination" in Happy Island requires you to first pass the high school-wide unified examination to obtain the "application quota", and then go to university to do the questions asked by university lecturers - and the difficulty of these questions is equivalent to that of first-tier universities.
The level of the final exam in the second semester of the second semester is about the level; while the entrance examination questions of first-tier universities are equivalent to the difficulty of the final exam of the second semester of the second-tier university.
In this case, the vast majority of ordinary students can only go to second-tier universities because the knowledge required for further advancement has been completely monopolized.
In any case, it is impossible to master this kind of in-depth knowledge through self-study. Anyone who can pass the Cheonen University exam through "cram classes" is already at the level of a genius.
Before entering their freshman year, they already have the amount of knowledge required to complete half of their studies at an ordinary university - this even requires taking some medicines produced by Ampoule Biomedical to develop their brains to this extent. And this is before they still need to go through
In order to get a place in the ordinary college entrance examination, that is to say, the knowledge in their classes must not be left behind.
Of course, strictly speaking, nothing is actually taught in class.
Students go to school at nine o'clock in the morning, and there is still a two-hour nap time at noon. They start class at three o'clock in the afternoon and finish school at three forty-five. Yes, the middle schools and elementary schools in Happy Island only have three classes a day. This was a day not long ago.
The new teaching time implemented by a human director. Before he changed it, there was actually only one more class in the afternoon.
In the name of "students need naps for better physical development", the director simultaneously cut off one-fifth of the curriculum content in middle schools across the island. However, everyone knows that this is just to reduce the difficulty of admission to Tian En University.
That's all.
Because with the time freed up, you can learn more "university knowledge" and do more questions and examination papers.
From this perspective, although Tianen University students only have four years, they have two to three years of professional course foundation before going to school.
Therefore, they can become outstanding talents after graduation. It is natural for them to directly enter Tianen Group and become corporate executives. Graduate students from second-tier universities are not as valuable as their undergraduate degrees. When they were sophomores, they were already studying at other universities.
There is no content for the fourth or even first year of graduate school. There are no "basic university courses" at all. Instead, they are advanced professional courses, and the class hours are filled up immediately.
Because of this, the status of the profession of "teacher" in Happy Island can be said to be extremely low. It is not even as good as online anchors or street singers, and it is probably about the same level as a restaurant waiter - the same low difficulty of finding a job, and the same
A mixed way of working.
Not to mention so-called "church schools".
It is from the welfare organization of the Cyber Church, and there is even no salary. Unless the young master and the young lady from a rich family have no worries about life, they usually enter the church school after retirement. Or they are social service personnel similar to volunteers.
, they can use the extra time to go to church schools to do good deeds after completing their work.
This can't be considered a job at all.
But this situation seems to be completely different on Sogo Island.
The children of these high-level researchers are even sent to missionary schools and they seem to think there is no problem with this.
Sure enough, it's really completely different.
Delphinium thought to herself, and followed the two of them into the floating car.
The style of this floating car is also completely different from that of Happy Island - the floating car of Happy Island emphasizes technology and speed. Its case is like a gem, and its head is as sharp as a shuttle. It looks like a terminal or a disc.
Same as the board.
And the floating car on Sogo Island
How should I put it? It was like a huge floating coffin. Its interior height was at least twice as high as the floating car on Happy Island, and you could even stand up directly from it. The two old people didn't even sit down.
, they stood directly in the car in front.
Pure white floating car with special paint on the car surface
It creates a "wooden feel", and its edges are covered with gold. Before getting on the car, you can see the curved arc decoration inlaid on the front and rear of the car, which looks like gold vines wrapped around the pure car.
Same as on the white coffin.—.
Of course, there are no coffins on Happy Island. However, there is a coffin on Taoyuan Island. Delphinium knows what a "coffin" is because her mother told her these stories.
But there is at least one thing about it that makes Delphinium breathe a sigh of relief, that is, it is divided into several blocks, which separates Russell from Delphinium and the two old people, and has strong sound insulation capabilities. After entering, the looming saint outside
The song was completely blocked.
But after sitting down, Delphinium discovered that after entering the floating car and looking from the inside out, it was actually completely transparent!
It is not transparent on four sides, but transparent on six sides.
She can even see the sky and the earth clearly! How is it transparent?!"
When the float vehicle started to take off, Delphinium subconsciously covered her skirt and tightened her legs. "Wait, it can't be."
Without waiting for Russell to explain, Delphinium realized that it could not be completely transparent.
Because no matter how transparent the floating car is, it still has an engine, an energy storage room and a floating device. But Delphinium cannot see them at all, not even the two old people.
She could only see herself and Russell sitting in the sky - beneath them was a lotus seat made of gold and white.
"This is a real-time reflective screen. The outer shell of the floating car is a huge camera. The scene collected from the outside will be mapped to the inside, and then AI will complete the picture. In this way, you can achieve this kind of standing in the sky."
The ultimate dream of mankind."
Russell still held Delphinium's hand tightly and explained softly to Delphinium: "Besides, it can still be like this."
Before Russell could finish speaking, a gentle young female voice came from inside the "flying coffin": "What instructions do you have?"
"Let's play simulation."
Russell ordered: "Medium intensity."
The next moment, the delphinium's hair flew away.
Her long white hair was flying wildly behind her, and she subconsciously reached out to grab it in front of her, but she could only catch the cold air. It was as if she was really flying in the sky.
She immediately opened her eyes wide, feeling the extreme relief accompanied by the feeling of suffocation when facing the strong wind, and the fear that she was shaken by the wind and might fall at any time -
"What's this-"
She subconsciously shouted at the top of her lungs, as if she couldn't transmit the sound to Russell's ears through the hunting wind.
Delphinium clenched her hands tightly and breathed heavily. Her cheeks were slightly red because she could not breathe smoothly and steadily. Her ears stood straight up. She looked down and out the window with excitement and fear.
She only felt numbness on the tips of her fingers and felt slightly dizzy.
Her chip immediately alerted her that she was at risk of oxygen poisoning.
At this moment, Russell suddenly came over, hugged Delphinium and kissed her, taking a few breaths. Delphinium was comforted almost instantly.
She felt that she suddenly learned to breathe again. Or maybe she completely forgot to breathe. When she calmed down completely, the red alarm prompt disappeared.
"Let's change it to breeze."
Russell touched Delphinium's slightly red face and said with a smile.
At this time, only the warm breeze of early summer was left. Delphinium was finally able to breathe steadily. She opened her eyes wide and realized that she was in the sky.
The sky-reaching Tower of Light is not far away from you, and three curved altars are like open hands, separated by 120 degrees, serving beside it.
Countless huge statues of gods fit perfectly into the city:
The weird and sacred Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva stands at the subway entrance with thousands of arms spread out. A shirtless boy with nine eyes, three heads and six arms stands on a tall building on the other side holding six weapons. A one-eyed old man wearing a white robe falls upside down.
Hanging in the bell tower
The river of light flows in the air out of thin air, like a winding and soft white line. Only when you look carefully can you find the forged belt composed of countless luminous thin lines, linked in different temples.
As the bell tower rang silently at two o'clock in the afternoon, the temples were filled with brilliance. People on the road raised their heads and worshiped silently.
The countless huge statues of gods driven by mechanical devices also moved slightly, and the postures of all the statues were different from the previous hour.
Those chaotic sounds were blocked out by the good sound insulation of the float vehicle, and all the delphinium saw was the silent worship.
