Chapter 083 Professor Position, Targeted Recruitment
June 12, Sunday.
In the Victorian-style bedroom, Jolina is reading a book.
The summer was sunny, and the birds were chirping softly outside the window. A few rays of sunlight fell on the side of her face with a high bridge of nose, making the cold and iceberg-like contours a bit softer.
The title of the book is "Tracing the Origin of Creation Myths Part 2".
It tells the legend of "from the giant dragon watching over the world to the gods governing the world" at the end of the ancient times. It is a compulsory course in the sophomore semester.
It was only during the summer vacation in the middle of her freshman year that Qiao Linna had already started studying this course by herself.
Various martial arts, this is a secret preview!
"Guhu~" The snowy owl stood on the yellow pear wood frame, spread its wings with black and white spots, narrowed its yellow eyes, and yawned lazily.
It’s really easy to feel sleepy on a summer afternoon.
However, for the college league in my sophomore semester, I can't... relax...
Jolina was determined, but she couldn't help but yawned, lying on the side of the desk, with her high ponytail hanging down, and her red pupils reflecting the round, snow-white owl.
"Vivian, tell me..." Her eyes flickered slightly, "Are they the same person?"
Needless to say, Vivian also knew who ‘he’ was referring to, so she nodded seriously: “Guhu!”
Yes, that's right, they are the same!
"You're perfunctory with me again." Jolina looked helpless, "Of course, I don't expect you to understand..."
Vivian: "Guhu...(?д?;)"
Then don't ask me in the first place!
Jolina stretched her waist, straightened her arms, held an elbow with her other hand, and sighed lazily:
"Hmm... Anyway, after the Starry Sky Cup is over and his followers exceed one million, he will show his face."
My intuition is rarely wrong.
This is an "instinct" that I have developed since the duel.
Jolina's red eyes were full of expectation.
I believe this time... is no exception.
The snow-white ragdoll cat opened its eyes as blue as the sea water, walked in from the door and jumped onto Jolina's lap.
Jolina was not surprised either. She held her chin with one hand, lowered her eyes, and stroked the coiled ragdoll cat with her other hand.
During my free time in the afternoon, I was disturbed by a video call popping up on the light screen.
Jolina patted the Ragdoll cat, and the little guy scurried down and ran outside to play again.
"What's wrong, Carlo?" Jolina opened the call, looked at the freckled girl wearing a straw hat in the video, and asked.
"Jolina." Carlo's tone was filled with surprise and stuttering, "You, you are really willing to answer my call!"
"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly..." Qiao Linna was helpless.
"Oh, um, I see you didn't join the class group... It was said in the group that Professor Boon, who taught our elective course "General Studies in Ancient Languages," suddenly resigned."
Carlo said: "So this course may have a different teacher next semester... You can think about it again when you take the class."
Since ancient languages involve all aspects of human civilization, Professor Boon is a master figure in the world of ancient languages.
Therefore, the elective course "General Studies in Ancient Languages" is extremely popular at Rendong University, and it is difficult for students to get a seat in the class.
"Why did Professor Bowen suddenly leave?" Qiao Linna was surprised.
With Professor Boon's ability, it would be difficult for the academic community to find someone who can replace him.
And if the teachers are not qualified enough, then there is no point in signing up for this course...
"I don't know, but there are some rumors among the grade group. Do you want to hear it?" Carlo said in a mysterious tone.
Jolina nodded lightly.
"Well, it is said that Professor Bowen went crazy overnight while he was studying ancient languages!"
Carlo said: "It seems that he came into contact with a field other than science, which was beyond his acceptance range, so he became obsessed... I don't know what happened."
"Knowledge is power." Qiao Linna thought for a moment and said: "If a card master can withstand more 'knowledge', his mental power will be stronger and his power will be deeper."
Jolina recalled the 'Scarecrow Incident' and the 'Chimera Incident', her red eyes were cold and she said:
"But... if the 'knowledge' exceeds his capacity, it is common for him to go crazy or become a card-destroying master."
"The look in your eyes just now was so scary." Carlo whispered.
Jolina said: "Have you heard of the story of Isaac Newton?"
Carlo said blankly: "Is that... some famous card master?"
Jolina shook her head gently: "He is not a card master, but a scientist. He has been fighting for the scientific cause of mankind throughout his life, trying to prove that human rational thinking has surpassed the gods... But when he was dying,
However, he abandoned the scientific thought he pursued throughout his life, turned to believe in gods, and welcomed death as a 'devout believer'."
"Some people say that Newton saw real gods, and those gods still remained in the world after the 'Twilight of the Gods'. It was this truth that instantly destroyed Newton's lifelong philosophy."
Jolina said softly: "Professor Boon, like Isaac Newton, discovered something while studying ancient languages, and then went crazy."
Carlo's body trembled slightly and he stammered: "Then, does that mean that the masters in academia are all dangerous?"
"Card masters embrace the belief of fire, and scholars of course also have their own obsessions. This is everyone's choice, and others do not need to interfere."
Jolina frowned and said: "It's just... it's really hard to find a master-level ancient language professor like Professor Boon... I'd better wait and see for a while about this course."
"Okay!" Carlo nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Also." Jolina's tone suddenly increased, "Don't relax in duel practice during the summer vacation. In the sophomore college league, you must get a spot on the school team!"
"Spare me..." Carlo held his head.
"Don't worry." Jolina raised a gentle smile, "I will slowly cultivate you."
Carlo: "Oh! QAQ"
Gu Mi
…
…
Through this card draw, Lin Xiao passed the golden key that can open the door to knowledge.
Master the legendary knowledge: "Ancient Language (Gold)".
When I woke up, my mind was so groggy that even in my dreams, I was talking in ancient Chinese.
Gu showed his great fortune and looked at the little seal who was busy playing games. Lin Xiao blurted out:
“■■■■(Daifuku, it’s time to go have breakfast.)”
Dafu was shocked: "Oh! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ"
Is this, what kind of ancient god’s language?!
"Sorry..." Lin Xiao held her forehead and sighed softly, "The language system didn't adjust back at once."
I have to say that it is indeed a legendary "ancient language".
Now I can not only speak the common human language of ancient times, but also more than ten ancient languages such as murloc, orc, goblin, and elven.
For a language like Elvish, which has not changed much since ancient times, I am afraid that I can speak it more authentically than a pure Elf.
All major races other than humans live in deep mountains and dense forests far away from the world. It is said that traces of elves have been found in the Kingdom of Glory, but these are only rumors.
Lin Xiao looked up at the sky, thinking.
I remember that the runes in Nordic mythology have divine power...
If I have to say it, this thing can be considered an ancient language, right?
If you want to confirm your conjecture, you must first encounter a rune, but it will take some time before you want to travel to other countries.
The top priority is to obtain information about the Star Cup semi-finals.
There are still two days until the Star Cup semi-finals kick off, but the heat is already abuzz, and the group is also discussing the arrangements for the semi-finals.
"The first game is the 'Golden Warrior' Beowulf VS the 'Crazy Man' Brahmashatian."
As a sponsor of the Starry Sky Cup, Shirley received the information one day in advance and said flatly:
“The second game is ‘Epee Man’ Epee Wufeng VS ‘Blind Prophet’ Cassandra.”
Epee Man said: "It feels like adding the prefix Wei Zhong Er...(Leopard Scripture Wind and Frost.jpg)"
Xue Yin Dao laughed and said: "It's like a boxing match, it needs such a famous name!"
Zhen Decai: "There are three grandmasters among the top four! (CaiGou.jpg)"
The red panda chewed the crispy noodles and said vaguely: "Hmm... Beowulf is a fifth-level master. He can break into the top four, which is quite impressive."
"Perhaps they will change their ace before the game." Jin Longzhenjun said casually, "After all, his namesake 'Beowulf' is a dragon-slaying hero in the epic."
Everyone was shocked.
What Zhenjun said is absolutely true!
"Beowulf, I remember, wasn't he eliminated in the audition? He was also the first to be struck by Zeus' lightning." Wen Tailai said in surprise.
"Although he was defeated in the audition, he should have "climbed high" to enter the top 100, so he has advanced to the knockout round." Liu Shisanniang analyzed objectively.
"@大剑人." Zhen Decai said, "Boss, we teamed up to fight Beowulf!"
Xue Yin Dao laughed and said: "I remember it was the match where you hit 0.2% output!"
Zhen Decai: "0.2% output, that's also output! (Caidog)"
"No matter what Beowulf's trump card is." Bald King Kong frowned and said calmly: "I have had a duel with Brahma Chatian in reality... His style is very rare."
"What school?" the epee man asked.
Du Jingang said: "Brahma Chatian does not use 'cards'. He only relies on tempering the body, fire, and source power to reach the sixth level realm. In other words, he belongs to the 'body cultivation school'."
The red panda suddenly realized: "No wonder Fanshatian never materialized the card in his previous games. He always relied on fists to defeat his opponents... I thought he had turned on the possessed form early."
Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.
No cards are used, only the physical body is tempered, and the source power is used to strengthen one's body.
The body cultivation school, the physical body, is their best trump card.
However... in the spiritual world, one can actually use physical power...
This must be what is called, cultivating the body means cultivating the soul.
Du Jingang sighed: "I also tried the 'Physical Cultivation School' in my early years, but this path was too difficult... Reaching the sixth level without the help of cards, I think it is not an exaggeration to call Brahma Chatian an 'ascetic'
.”
Ghost Bride: "Young man, why didn't I match him in the quarter-finals? Otherwise, I would have advanced long ago!"
With Cecia's charm ability, Brahma Chatian, who was extremely restrained by the physical training school, was unfortunately unlucky... and was taken away by the heavy sword man's two swords!
Xue Li sent a "touch your head" emoticon and added:
"Then what is the origin of this 'blind prophet' Cassandra? I can't find any information about her."
The group members also couldn’t answer why.
Based on Cassandra's previous duels, we can only know that she relied on natural spells such as thunderstorms and hurricanes to easily take away her opponents. In the city, the Ghost Bride and Cecia browsed the "Blind Prophet" duel video together.
In the picture, there is a virtual image of a tall figure, fair cheeks, and a saint-like temperament wearing a silver eyepatch. The eyepatch adds a sense of mystery and incomplete beauty to her.
Ceccia chuckled: "Could she..."
"What?" asked the Ghost Bride.
"I think 'prophet' is more than just a nickname."
Cecia said solemnly: "I'm afraid she really does have rare prophecy abilities...just like the True Lord Golden Dragon."
