Pastor's Tantra

In fact, Professor Bard is very open-minded and knowledgeable.

In fact, he's basically Avalon's most authoritative historian.

It's just that he's not good at giving lectures - rather than attending classes, he's better at studying alone in a pile of old papers.

At this time, an idea came to the history professor's mind.

Maybe... you can hire Aiwass as your assistant.

His knowledge in this area is already higher than that of many third grade students.

But that might not work. In principle, teaching assistants can only choose outstanding junior or senior students, just like Haina.

Mr. Aiwass is only in first grade, and this is not in line with the rules...

Just when Professor Bard was lost in thought, Aiwass had already easily changed the topic back to the Kingdom of Star Antimony, and attracted everyone's attention and expectations:

“This is why the path of wisdom, the path of love, is banned within Avalon.

"Then have you ever thought about what would happen if they were not banned... but developed in balance with the authoritarian path?

"Then what we are going to talk about is the demise of the Herasl Empire."

Aiwass lowered his head and said, compared with the content on the lesson plan and said loudly: "Students, please turn the textbook to page 241."

The next moment, calm returned to the classroom.

The sound of turning books was heard in the classroom and was extremely clear.

"The Herasl Empire has a long history and a vast territory...and this will lead to the existence of extraordinary beings of various paths in it.

"It may be difficult for you to imagine that the most mainstream skill in the empire is demonology. In fact, that is where the profession of 'demonologist' was first born. People study demons just like we study mechanics and physics; we develop new rituals , just like the inventors here inventing new things. Under the path of transcendence, the alchemists of the path of balance and the artists of the path of beauty have their own associations.

"The balanced development of ritual, alchemy, and art makes the empire prosperous."

Having said this, Aiwass put down the lesson plan.

He raised his head and started to talk about his stuff, and the students all looked up and looked over: "But just one year before the Earth-Splitting War started, there was a fierce conflict between the alchemists and the artists.

"The initial trigger that sparked the war was a painting called "The Alchemist." What was painted was the working environment of the alchemists. Alchemy was originally closed and secret, but an alchemist told himself A friend of mine, a painter, opened his workshop and allowed the painter to sketch his work.

“But this painting aroused the dissatisfaction of the alchemist. First, the painting was not accurate enough. There were a lot of errors in the movements, placement, and clothing that were caused by distorting the facts for the sake of beautiful composition; secondly, this painting The painting was so precise that it was clearly painted in a secret painting that the alchemist hung on the wall as the background - and this painting hinted at the use of grains and basil leaves to refine artificial mice. 'The ancient techniques are very valuable knowledge."

"...artificial mouse?"

Haina beside Aiwass couldn't help but frown and repeated: "What's the use of this?"

She hadn't heard the story either.

And Aiwass's loudspeaker also contained her remarks. This caused the students to discuss quietly twice.

Aiwass smiled and nodded, and said slowly: "Of course, we all hate rats. We hope that rats will become extinct... But in any case, this is the mysterious technique of 'creating life from non-life'. And 'creating life' is One of the three ultimate pursuits of the alchemist.

"Because of this serious leak, the alchemist and painter involved were sentenced to death for leaking secrets. But the impact had already occurred, and the alchemists who were still angry began to denounce the painter, thinking that it was because the painter published information about alchemy. The negative impact caused by not notifying the Alchemy Association for review when the art was drawn.

"So the alchemists began to order alchemy stores across the country to ban the sale of paints to people who looked like painters - until the artists agreed to undergo 'creative censorship.' This threat actually had no power, because they did not ban purchasing agents, It is also not clear what the criteria are for someone who 'looks like a painter'.

"But the artists believe that this is a long-planned transgression of power by the Alchemy Association against the Art Association. If these things cannot be leaked, then they should not be hung up from the beginning, or the painter should be notified in advance. The painter is only responsible. By painting them and exhibiting them to others, we are not responsible for any leakage caused by the model's mistakes.

"So they immediately counterattacked and painted a large number of paintings that hinted at the secrets of alchemy. Because there was no explicit text leaking the secrets, but just hints of symbols... In addition, there are no conventional professional terms for alchemy, but every day. Everyone’s passwords are different. Therefore, they have sufficient excuses to show that they did not leak the secrets maliciously.”

Having said this, Aiwass looked around: "I believe that many of you have seen those 'paintings suggesting alchemy'? The oldest ones among those paintings began to appear from this period. And because the output was large and the price was very low, they quickly flowed into the imperial market and became a price at which even an imperial lord could easily collect multiple pieces.

"This move broke the Alchemy Association's monopoly on alchemy and led to the birth of a large number of non-academic folk alchemists. They were not professional enough and lacked systematic alchemical knowledge... But at this time, they were persecuted by the Alchemy Association before. , another faction of alchemists they suppressed joined them and established the "Twelve Keys", a folk alchemy association that continues to this day. They lurked among the people, and with the help of the Art Association, they mastered all the most secret alchemical techniques. Made public through the suggestive means of alchemical paintings.

"The furious Alchemy Association requires the demonologists to arrest and punish these traitors, but the Art Association must fully safeguard the legitimacy of the 'Twelve Keys' and requires the demonologists not to arrest innocent painters. Between the Extraordinary Association The struggle gradually comes to light...

"While the two sides were quarreling fiercely, a kind of blood-sucking monster called the 'Dead Trigger' by the imperial people sneaked into the royal capital. It means 'prophet of bad omen', and some people also call them 'Children of the Moon' or ' Sons of the Dragon'. They are not phantom demons, but they can eat weak demons to become stronger, and they can be reborn repeatedly after death.

"Therefore, those demonologists who occupied the pinnacle of power became prey. Soon their power became weak, and when they became weaker than both the Alchemy Association and the Art Association, the two originally noisy The association suddenly stopped arguing and began to work together to gain the political influence of the demonologists.

"These children of the moon are a special race of the path of love, a group protected by the eternal self. The newborns among them can only move under the moonlight. The extraordinary ones of the path of love can be transformed into them, just like those of the devil's path. Demonologists can also turn into demons. When people on the path of love are drained of their blood and die, they will turn into 'newborns' after forty days, eating demons and sucking blood at night. As long as they die within forty days Get enough nutrients and you'll be able to move around in the sun in forty days.

"It is said that this immortality originally came from a curse, and some say it is a kind of love. The secret of their ability to prey on demons is related to the blood of the Snake Father, so some scholars believe that there is a secret connection between the Eternal Self and the Snake Father. It's like these two pillar gods are in charge of the mysterious art of 'cursing' at the same time. Even the advancement ceremony is always held 'under the moon', which may be related to it..."

Aiden was stunned for a moment when he heard what Aiwass said on the podium.

He suddenly thought of something.

An evil spirit that is immortal, sucks blood, and rises from the dead...

He subconsciously glanced at Professor Bard and found that the professor did not make any corrections. Instead, he looked at Aiwass sincerely.

This means...

Everything written in "Dracula" is really true?

At the same time, Aiwass was still lecturing slowly in that gentle and clear tone, as if he were a real teacher: "Students, this is what is said in the book, 'The weakening of the demonologists' power led to the emperor's death. They have lost confidence in them, and demonologists have become unable to control the increasingly tense political situation in the empire. I think this should be a key point..."

Aiwass said, looked at Professor Bard for confirmation and asked: "Is that so, Professor?"

The more Professor Bud listened, the more shocked he became, and the more he listened, the more surprised he became.

"...Ah, yes! Yes!"

The old professor was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what he was saying. He squeezed to the edge of the microphone and said in his stern and smooth tone: "Did you hear what Aiwas said? This sentence is the key point. Write it all down. Including The following sentence, 'In order to regain their political status, demonologists took risks and held new sacrificial rituals...'"

He read along the textbook for a long time, and the students, who rarely listened to Professor Bard's history class, really followed Professor Bard's request and highlighted the key points.

After finishing speaking, the old professor did not grab the microphone.

Instead, he stepped aside, smiled and patted Aiwass on the shoulder, gesturing kindly for him to continue.

The more the old professor looked at this handsome and knowledgeable young man, the more he liked him.

Especially when he himself is not good at teaching...

I have to say that Aiwas’ grasp of the rhythm of the class is really good!

If he was not an extraordinary person, but went to the Department of Humanities to study history, he would probably become a great historian. Or be a great mentor.

It's just a pity... He will definitely not give up the path of dedication.

However, Professor Bader has now made up his mind.

Even if it is against the rules, he will snatch Aiwass over first and become his assistant coach!

Never mind "in principle" -

Otherwise, sooner or later other instructors will discover Aiwass's strengths!

At Wangli Law University, there are many instructors like him who are good at research but not good at giving lectures.

But they can't beat me because I want to strike first!

The old professor squinted his eyes happily and couldn't help but praise repeatedly: "He is indeed a young man who is favored by Her Highness Isabel... It is better to see him than to hear him a hundred times."

……ha?

Haina on the side was stunned for a moment: "Your Highness the Princess?"

"Yes," the old professor explained kindly for the student he also liked, "last night, classmate Aiwass was invited by Her Highness Isabel to attend a private dinner. He didn't come back until very late... Now the whole Avalon The upper class circles should all know about this.

"I thought it was a rumor at first, but now it seems it may be true. Not only is he knowledgeable, but the most important thing is his demeanor - it is the first time he lectures in front of so many people, and he is a classmate I have never met before. They are not afraid of stage fright and can control the rhythm. He must have the adaptability to the authoritarian path.

"I now believe that he really decisively killed the demonologist with one shot. When I saw the news before, I thought it was a flattery for 'Moriarty' and attributed your achievements to him... After all, How can a disabled mortal take the initiative to attack a transcendent who has already resonated with the path? The suppressive power of the transcendent over us ordinary people is absolute... Just because he does not tremble to the point of being unable to move, he already has an iron will. "

"That is true."

Haina subconsciously defended Aiwass in a low voice: "I saw it with my own eyes."

But she still felt a little unbelievable.

Because she has also met Her Royal Highness the Princess and knows what kind of person she is.

That little cutie who looks very autistic... would actually invite people to his home for dinner?

And, staying late...

——Did she think it was too late?
