I Will Be The Crowned King

Walking on the silent and pitch-black spiral staircase, Bronny, holding a kerosene lamp, led the way silently in front, and Anson, who followed behind, looked stiff and said nothing.

"...Professor Horst, a friend of Professor Mace Hornard."

Just when Anson thought he would be silent all the way, Bronne who was walking in front suddenly said:

"The two studied at St. Isaac's College in the same year, and then worked at the college. They became lecturers, associate professors, and professors at about the same time - classmates, colleagues, and close friends."

"Both were interested in history, especially about the life and experiences of St Isaac; the difference was that Professor Horst's 'interest' was never limited to books, but was more keen on exploration and fieldwork to verify Words from those ancient books."

A low voice, a voice without any emotion, echoed in the quiet stairwell.

"Then... what happened to the way he looked just now, and the so-called 'God'?" An Sen, who was a little nervous, couldn't help but ask.

"That was two years ago."

Bloane said plainly: "Professor Horst, who had been missing for a long time, suddenly returned to the academy, claiming to be on a certain beach in the Bingya Strait in the New World, and saw a giant beast with 'a hundred heads, a thousand horns, and hundreds of millions of tentacles'. Rising from the icy and foggy sea, he conveyed revelation in a way 'beyond words', giving him the power of prophecy."

"Since that day, Professor Horst has been promoting sensational events like the end of the world in various academic conferences or public occasions, wearing a black robe, and semi-forced divination to everyone he meets."

"Although most people just take it as an old professor's crazy talk, there are still many people who believe it to be the truth, and they cause a lot of trouble."

"In order not to let Professor Horst continue to cause trouble to the academy, the dean had to arrange him under this relatively remote tower, using the abandoned laboratory as his 'divination room'." Bloane sighed suddenly :

"Because he's close friends with Professor Mace Hornard, it's up to us, the professor's students, to watch over and take care of him - to sneak out like this and take passers-by back to his 'divination room'... you're not First."

"So no matter what he said to you today, don't take it to heart, like 'Son of Destiny', 'The Man Who Turned the Clock', 'God Obstruction' and the like...he's 'prophesied' almost a hundred times ."

Hearing Bronny's somewhat helpless tone, Anson couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth.

"Since he's already...why not send him to the hospital or recuperate at home?"

"St. Isaac's College is the highest-level institution in the Clovis Kingdom, and it is also an advanced research institution for the Church of Order; once the scandal of the professor's stupidity occurs, it will be a serious blow to the reputation of the Kingdom and the Church." Bloane explained:

"As for the family... Many professors live in the college all year round, and very few people start a family; so as long as the situation is not serious enough to be unable to communicate normally, they will not be easily forced to leave."

As long as it's not the type that can't communicate normally...

Anson asked in disbelief: "So... Professor Horst is not a special case?"

"Oh, just as you thought." Bronny nodded slightly:

"Yes, in fact, the professors at St Isaac's College have some problems - some have more than one personality, some claim to see another world, some say this world is just a novel...like Professor Horst It's a little bit more special, but not uncommon."

So, the highest-level academy in the Clovis Kingdom and the higher research institute of the Church of Order are actually still a mental hospital?

Anson simply didn't know what to say.

Putting the gas lamp in the corridor, Bronny, who had his hands behind his back, continued to walk towards the upper floor of the tower with Anson.

"The above... are all to deal with the rhetoric prepared by the academy and the outside world."

Just when Anson thought this topic was finally over, Bronne who had his back turned to him suddenly spoke again.

What?

An Sen, who just breathed a sigh of relief, stumbled under his feet.

"Professor Horst is really crazy, but it's not because of that adventure. The cause of the matter is earlier than this." Bloane said softly as he walked:

"I don't know the specific situation, but because I took care of Professor Horst for a long time, I occasionally heard him say it - it seems to be because of the seventieth year of the saint's calendar, that is, he and Mays 30 years ago. Caused by a disagreement over Professor Hornard's research on St Isaac."

He turned his head to look at An Sen at the back on the right, his ice blue eyes were clear and deep:

"You were also a student of this college. I don't need to introduce more about the story of Saint Isaac, right?"

Anson nodded.

Isaac Rand was born in the countryside of Clovis Kingdom during the church schism forty years before the Saints Calendar, and developed and improved the first generation of steam engines.

In the following years, the Kingdom of Clovis, which realized the power of this machine, began to fully support him and the church factions that supported him. In the large-scale conflict, the allies of the Church of Order were defeated, and the territory continued to expand to the south.

In the first year of the Saint calendar, Isaac Rand was killed in an accident. At the same time, a large number of priests and nobles who supported him were assassinated.

In the forty-seventh year of the saint's calendar, the new pope canonized Isaac for his outstanding contributions and grievances at the Second Order of the Order, and at the same time called the year he died "the first year of the saint's calendar". .

In general, as a great man who almost single-handedly started the entire new era, Isaac Rand's historical position in the Kingdom of Clovis ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ even surpassed the royal family of Osteria to a certain extent. Even the Church of Order.

And he was able to be canonized successfully and even changed the calendar of the church, which marked that the Clovis Kingdom was officially accepted as an important member of the ordered world from a barbaric kingdom that started out by war, and as a human kingdom independent of the empire's governance outside.

All of this is familiar to the "Former Anson" who was born in the Kingdom of Clovis and studied at St. Isaac's College.

Thinking of this, Anson had a new question in his heart: "Why does the study of St. Isaac make a history professor look like this?"

The moment the words fell, he saw a flashing, playful smile from the corner of Bron's mouth.

"For the Church of Order, Isaac Rand is a priest who disgusts them, but has to admit his status;" Bronne, who regained his indifference, whispered:

"For the people of the Clovis Kingdom, the Order World and even the New World, Isaac Rand is a name that represents steam and machinery, and even change;"

"For historians, his name is a symbol of an era;"

"But for us..." Bron stopped and looked sideways at Anson:

"He is a very special existence."

A special existence?

An Sen, who was slightly startled, immediately realized that he was talking about the Old God School.

"Isaac Rand..." Bloane paused, his icy blue eyes revealing some kind of mystery:

"It's the first spell caster who has mastered the power of the three old gods at the same time!"
