book of old days

Chapter 198 The young man turned out to be me (two chapters in one)

There are still a few days before the next class. In the next few days, he rebuilt the summoning circle and spent a lot of money. It turns out that he still underestimated the greed of the black market merchants and spent more than 1 yuan Only then did the gold pound build a new summoning circle.

Some materials look unremarkable, such as rune stones, which don't look much different from ordinary stones, but the price is still extremely expensive. Sean is sure that he must have been slaughtered more than once.

But Sean endured it, as long as this thing works, money is not that important to him now, no matter how much money he has, he has to spend it.

And every time he thinks about the tragic situation on the [-]th, Xiao En secretly wakes up, the road of pursuing power is doomed to be full of crises, and any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem.

Sometimes Sean would feel sorry, but it was a pity that the dwarf gnome couldn't speak and couldn't summon together, otherwise he would be the most suitable assistant.

At the same time, he is not sure that this thing can replace the position of other summoners. According to the book, it must be an intelligent creature with spirituality to perform the summoning ceremony. How this spirituality is calculated, Sean is not completely sure.

On this day, it finally came to the day of class again. Sean arrived at the University of Sword Castle early, and came to the classroom of the literature class as scheduled.

"Good morning, my dear students?" Sean smiled and looked at the students in the classroom, thinking about who to find as a helper this time.

The summoning ceremony is a very mysterious ceremony that requires the full dedication of the summoner, so it is still necessary to be cautious in selecting candidates, even if it is only for a short period of time to gain their trust, it is still a very serious matter.

It is obviously not suitable for those students who lack curiosity and conservative thinking. If they are surprised, yell, or simply want to report themselves, it will be very troublesome.

Although the memory can be washed away with the Forgotten Cap afterwards, Sean still hopes to find a few who can follow the command and understand how to cooperate.

As he thought about it, he began to talk about today's lesson.

Today is the official start of class, and Sean specially prepared lessons for this.

"Today we are going to talk about the basic theory of storytelling in literary creation.

Since ancient times, when humans had the ability to understand abstract concepts, humans' appetite for stories has become insatiable.

The ancient priests were the original creators of literature. They created those ancient myths, dark wild stories, and all kinds of strange ancient legends.

But in the current era, it is the most demanding era in history for those who aspire to become a writer. In ancient times, people fabricated heroic epics, myths and legends, without logic, and did not need to consider credibility, because at that time The people of the world are still in ignorance, and the readers need stories merely to sate their curiosity.

But in our era, the emphasis is on credibility and authenticity, so when creating, there are inevitably many things that need to be paid attention to..."

Sean talked eloquently, casually, and talked about the hype. In fact, the Department of Literature has standard textbooks, but Sean rarely uses them. Compared with the mature ideas of writing in later generations, most authors in this era still only use them. Can be written with experience, so some of the routines Sean adopts in the book are amazing every time.

At this time, he combined some of his own experience with some theoretical books he had read in his previous life, and narrated it, which easily aroused the students' attention and thinking, and they gave out admiration from time to time.

After talking for a while, Sean picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

"So, does anyone have a question about what I just said?"

Immediately, several societies raised their hands.

Sean ordered one casually, but it was Scott.

"Professor Sean, are all those ancient myths and legends fictional? You once said that human beings cannot imagine things they have never seen before. Does that mean that these myths have their prototypes?"

Sean smiled slightly, "Of course, any story has a prototype, but the specific authenticity is not always known. Maybe the battle of the gods is just a fight between two tribes, but it is also possible that there are phenomena that are beyond us. Mysterious events happened and were recorded.

It was in this mood that I went to Nord last winter, and although I didn't end up with what I was looking for, I still found some amazing things, even beyond the realm of reality. "

Xiao En's words made the students whisper. Although Xiao En's words were vague, they revealed something surprising.

"Professor Xiao En, did you see supernatural things?" A girl couldn't help asking.

Sean smiled mysteriously, "It's inconvenient for me to say some things in class. I can only say that there are indeed some things that you don't see on weekdays. If anyone is interested in this, you can stay after class. I will make Explain—but now, let's get back to the lesson."

A class ended quickly, and Sean left homework, which was to create a fictional story based on an event that happened in reality, preferably with a little surreal color.

When the students left one after another, a few people stayed behind.

The lead is a girl with light blond hair, it is Emily, she looks very adapted to college life, wearing a fashionable student uniform in this era, a lady's long skirt with a lace-trimmed top hat, looks elegant and elegant intellectual.

"Professor Sean, did you really see anything miraculous in Nord?"

Sean glanced at the few people left behind, and it met his needs.

Sam Dent, his fan, has expressed admiration on more than one occasion.

Scott, a repeater, is a slippery man, but very smart. He taught this man last semester, and he is a very shrewd guy.

Emily, his cousin, has an inexplicable feeling of familiarity with him. Speaking of which, the two of them have not met a few times.

Melison Sheila, this girl is not very familiar to him. In his impression, she is a very silent and non-existent girl with brown hair. She always takes notes silently by herself.

And Eric Lanster, he was a little surprised that this person stayed, and every time he saw that familiar face, he felt a little complicated.

That's okay, just a few of you.

"I did find a lot of interesting things. In fact, I didn't tell all about some things, because for ordinary people, those things that are too miraculous are beyond their understanding and acceptance. Only those with higher Only the wise and spiritual are in touch with a deeper reality.

Originally, I didn't intend to share my findings with others, but I think you guys are different, you have a thirst for knowledge that ordinary people don't have, and the most important thing is rationality, and you can grasp those with some sensitivity. knowledge of sex..."

A few words made the five people in front of them look excited, and they were very happy to be affirmed by the professor.

"So, if you are really interested, you can visit my castle this weekend, I can show you my treasures and collections, and I can also show you something beyond your imagination."

"Of course, it's fine if you're not interested. Not everyone has the guts to witness the oldest secret of mankind."

"I'll go, I'll go, count me in." Emily grabbed Sean's arm and said repeatedly.

"I'm going too, Professor Sean, can you give me a hint, isn't it your new book that you showed us?" Sam Dent looked excited.

"Count me in, I really want to see it." Scott said nonchalantly, but his excited eyes had already betrayed him.

"Professor Sean, I'll go too." Eric said not to be outdone.

The girl named Sheila didn't say anything, but standing behind the four of them, her attitude was already obvious.

"Very well, then on the morning of the weekend, you can meet at the gate of the university, and I will send a carriage to pick you up."

------

When Xiao En walked out of the teaching building, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, (Hehe, young man, it's so foolish, you'll be hooked if you're tempted a little bit, that's okay, let them be my temporary assistants. The transcendent existence in the chaotic sea summoned me, and with a magic teacher, I can learn real magic soon.)
He thought excitedly, too happy to notice Ulysses waiting on the roadside bench.

"Professor Sean, you seem to be in a good mood."

Only then did Sean come to his senses. Ulysses was sitting on a bench, looking at a thick ancient book. He was wearing a double-breasted black velvet dress, wearing unilateral glasses, and his snow-white hair was combed meticulously. It seems that it fits very well with the environment of the surrounding university campus.

"It's a pity to sit with me?"

Sean wanted to refuse, but felt that it was too deliberate.

"Of course," he sat down on the other side of the bench, ready to say a few words before leaving, "Professor Ulysses, are you waiting for me?"

"Yes, I will hold a party in five days. There are some enthusiasts. Are you interested in coming?"

Sean was about to refuse, but Ulysses said to himself: "At that time, I will show the participants some of the mysterious items, ancient books and scrolls that I have collected in my adventures over the years, including some spell books, magic spells, etc. Classics, records of the practice of pagan wizards.

Originally, I didn't intend to share these discoveries with others, but I think you are a different person, with a thirst for knowledge that ordinary people don't have, and the most important thing is the ability to distinguish and analyze, and you can grasp things that are beyond human reason. domain knowledge and abilities.

So if you are interested in this, I sincerely invite you to be there. "

"Of course, if you're not interested, I won't force you anymore. Not everyone has the guts and willpower to witness and master that mysterious power, that ancient and forbidden wisdom."

Sean's heart was really moved when he heard it, but suddenly he came to his senses and wondered why the old man's words sounded so familiar to him?
Wait a minute, isn't this what I said to fool those students?

He glanced at Ulysses with a half-smile, "Well, I might need to think about it, I'm a little busy recently, if it's convenient then—maybe I'll go."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Ulysses to say anything else, he left on his own.

Two days later—————

The carriage creaked on the uneven old road. The road from Sword Castle to Castle Valley is not easy. This is not the main traffic route of Sword Castle. The rugged road has not been repaired for a long time, because it is neither a commercial The road is not a military transportation route, and no one will think about building roads at all.

The carriage finally came to the entrance of the valley and stopped.

A group of people jumped out of the carriage, looking at the desolate environment around them, they were a little dazed.

"Did we come to the wrong place?" Scott said with some uncertainty.

But the driver shrugged, "I'll just send you here." After speaking, he jumped into the carriage and left, leaving only a few people staring at each other.

A gust of wind blew by, and the surroundings were silent, only the chirping of insects and birds, which made people feel uneasy.

Fortunately, the anxiety didn't last long, and Sean's figure appeared at the entrance of the valley.

"Several people, here, I'm sorry that you need to walk for the next part of the road. The nearby cliffs have collapsed, and the carriage cannot travel."

At this time, the few students had no way to turn back. They could only support each other and follow Xiao En, walking towards the valley.

A few boys are okay, and they are dressed more suitable for travel, but the two ladies are a little troublesome.

Fortunately, the girls who can enter the university are not the kind of delicate young ladies. They also learn equestrianism and swordsmanship on weekdays, so they don't need support.

"Professor, why do you live here?" Sam Dent asked as he walked. "Is it because of the need to write quietly?"

"Of course not. If it's just for writing, just buy a studio. I live here because I need a secluded place to conduct my research."

"What's that, Professor, your research?" Scott interjected.

Sean smiled mysteriously: "You will know soon."

Soon the group of people passed through the valley where weeds and bushes were reborn, and a precipitous and gloomy castle appeared in front of everyone.

Eric looked around calmly. This Professor Xiao En always gave him a strange feeling. Sometimes the way the other party looked at him often made him feel uneasy.

This weird valley intensified this anxiety. He noticed a large area of ​​scorched marks on the ground not far away. A tree seemed to have been struck by lightning, leaving only the scorched trunk, and the traces of flames were everywhere. Yes, as if someone kept setting fire in the valley.

There is definitely something wrong here.As he thought about it, he became more and more alert as he looked at Professor Xiao En who was leading the way.
