Chapter 084 Lin Xiao: I want to apply for a professorship
Delphi, ruins of the Temple of Apollo.
It is located among the desolate mountains, with ruined walls surrounding marble columns in a circular shape.
The blind female prophet wore a silver eyepatch and stood silently, "looking" at the ruins of Delphi.
Although she doesn't know how she did it, the action is indeed "seeing".
An eagle flew over the mountains, and its long cry pierced the sky, adding a mysterious atmosphere to the temple ruins.
Apollo, the sun god among the Chaos gods, is also responsible for art, music and prophecy.
The Temple of Delphi was the place where Apollo once delivered his prophecies, and later generations called it the ‘place of the oracle’.
Since the "Twilight of the Gods", humans have never heard the prophecies of the gods again.
The identity of the prophet has also changed from 'messenger of gods' to 'prophet of mankind'.
Cassandra, after lighting the fire, inherited the identity of 'prophet' from her ancestors.
"Predict possible disasters for mankind and try our best to avoid them."
This is the mission of Cassandra's lineage, their philosophy of fire.
"There are disasters in the spiritual world..."
The blind female prophet faced the place of the oracle and murmured to herself:
"But I can't deduce the source of the disaster..."
The man wearing pitch black armor and holding black fire.
I can detect a "premonition" related to disaster from him, but I don't know where this premonition comes from...
At this moment, Cassandra had an extremely ridiculous thought that was consistent with a "premonition" in her heart.
Perhaps, the man with the heavy sword is a disaster.
Not belonging to this world, but also changing the world, this force will lead to both positive and negative aspects.
But no matter what the outcome is, being separated from the plane is an uncontrollable 'disaster'.
"Absurd 'premonition'..."
Kassandra "looked" at the place of the oracle and asked calmly: "Is it you who gave the prophecy?"
Rao is so.
I will still use my own way to make judgments.
I am not the messenger of the sun god, but the prophet of mankind.
His former artifact identifies with me, which is the best proof of my philosophy.
"Seven-stringed harp, epic quality, peak of the sixth level."
"Explanation: The harp contains the power of the sun and prophecy. When played, hot flames will burst out. It is Apollo's favorite harp and is in a sealed state."
The real name of the seven-string harp is "Apollo's harp".
When Apollo infuses it with the flame of bathing divinity, it can achieve the level of golden legend.
But when used by Kassandra, it's only epic quality.
Enough.
Cassandra thought.
Any living creature will tremble when he hears the sound of the seven-stringed harp.
Heavy swordsmen are no exception.

Federation, Star Map City, Investigation Team.
In the logistics area, there is a private room filled with sumptuous dishes.
"You want me to go to Rendong University to study?!" Lin Xiao said in surprise.
"No need to make a fuss." Chu Yun held a cigarette in his mouth and said calmly, "This is an arrangement from the organization."
"Didn't we just complete the A-level commission?"
Lin Xiao's tone was strange: "Why do I suddenly have to go to school?"
"You should know that the ivory tower of the university is the place where 'arrogance' is most likely to breed."
Gu Xiao
Chu Yundao said: "What's more, for a top institution like Rendong University, I wouldn't be surprised if the Arrogant Demon is hiding underground in the university. So, your task is to enroll in Rendong University as a freshman and cooperate with Qiao Linna to investigate the Demon Altar."
Lin Xiao said: "I think Sigrid is quite suitable, why do you let me go?"
Sigrid raised her head from the strawberry cake and looked around: "Huh?"
What were they talking about just now?
"You are of the right age." Chu Yun crossed his arms and said, "If I remember correctly, you are only 18 years old and have just graduated from Rendong Middle School, which is exactly the age when you are a freshman... Besides, Rendong University doesn't happen to be yours.
Alma mater?”
"Go there to study, gain more knowledge, investigate the Demon God Altar, and maybe even get a girlfriend. You can achieve multiple things with one stone." Chu Yun said.
"There are three top Card Master colleges in the Federation, Red Lion, Honeysuckle, and Tulip. Why did you choose Honeysuckle?" Lin Xiao was puzzled.
Chu Yun's eyes were deep: "Because, Lonicera has been experiencing frequent strange things recently. Several professors have suddenly resigned, disappeared or gone crazy..."
"Based on the intelligence, the team leader suspected that they were influenced by the devil, just like Professor Ole from Red Lion Institute of Technology."
"Red Lion has been calm recently, but it's Lonicera's turn to be uneasy..." Chu Yun sighed, "Qiao Linna alone can't handle it, so I asked you to enroll as a freshman to help with the investigation. If there is no problem, I will transfer to the next suspicious school.
Teachers' colleges... last for a very short period of time, not more than one semester."
"Is this some old-fashioned setting for the King of Soldiers to enter school?" Lin Xiao complained.
"Do you have any better script?" Chu Yun squinted.
Lin Xiao pondered, turned his head, and fixed his eyes on the little secretary who was working hard. After thinking for a long time, he turned around and asked:
"I would like to ask which courses the professors who resigned taught...leave some for me."
Sigrid:(￣～￣)
Sigrid: "Water...(*⊙~⊙)"
Chu Yundao said: "A total of three professors have had accidents, namely theology, history and ancient linguistics... Slow down, no one will compete with you."
Lin Xiao patted the little secretary on the back, her eyes lit up, and she asked:
"Ancient Linguistics?"
"What?" Chu Yun lit the cigarette and said flatly, "Like the fish-human language, is it possible that you are also involved in ancient linguistics?"
Lin Xiao spit out a string of obscure language pronunciations: "■■■■."
Chu Yun was slightly stunned and asked blankly:
"What bird language are you talking about?"
"By your fire, I can see the light."
Lin Xiao raised a smile, showing her white teeth: "Ancient lingua franca, the motto of Rendong University."
Chu Yun suspected that he was talking nonsense, but there was no evidence. He crushed the cigarette butt and said with a serious face:
"Sigrid, don't eat it, come up with a long translation sentence in an ancient language and kill this kid!"
"Well..."
The little secretary took out his tablet and stylus, searched for a 'Final Exam Paper for Postgraduate Students in the Department of Ancient Languages' and handed it to Lin Xiao, saying: "It is said that this test paper is very difficult, you can just do it on the tablet!"
Under the gaze of the two people, Lin Xiao returned the tablet ten minutes later.
"How?" Chu Yun asked.
Sigrid checked the answers back and forth, looked at Lin Xiao strangely, and said:
"All correct."
Chu Yun: "..."
Does he really understand ancient Chinese?
You boy, you are really a talent!
"Don't look at me like that."
Lin Xiao said seriously: "My uncle Yule is a professor of ancient languages. When I was a child, I took a boat to Hawaii with him. He taught me ancient languages and how to eat oysters elegantly."
Chu Yun shook his head to eliminate the interference caused by these nonsense words, and asked in a deep voice:
"So, you want to pass the interview and become a graduate student of the professor of the Department of Ancient Languages?"
"Indeed." Chu Yun said to himself: "It is easier for graduate students who become tutors to act in Rendong University, and they will not arouse suspicion if they don't go to class..."
"No."
Lin Xiao crossed his hands and said:
"I want to pass the interview and become a professor in the Department of Ancient Languages at Liandong University."
