Chapter 2 Time is like water

When the fantasy civilization that has been closed for countless years has entered the cosmic age, it has come into contact with other civilizations. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Where technology and magic meet, what happens?

In fact, some things will not change, there are resources that must be fought for, and there will be disputes that follow.

And with the participants in the whirlpool of strife and contradictions, there are naturally legendary rivers and lakes.

And Rorschach, who had just arrived in another world, didn't have time to sigh about this.

In a flurry of panic and busyness, he took the simplest of his belongings to the country where his sister once lived, Solsteinman.

Thorstanman, the transliteration of the Elven word for "Wonderland", is now the most important and special region in the whole of Ash.

The world is referred to as Saul, and the official name is Saul Steinman Business Alliance.

It consists of 29 satellite towns, and most of them are thriving commercial cities.

More than 100 years ago, it was a ruined ancient battlefield.

A new era, an enact signed by all countries, has changed all that.

Thor became a special development zone, a duty-free and low-inspection zone open to the entire universe, and thus established the country.

Tax exemption is the most irresistible temptation for profit-chasing businessmen, reducing inspection standards, entry procedures, and review time.

This is the only alien imported product, and the two merchants of the whole Ash come here to rush to buy it.

Six of the top 10 spaceports in the entire Ash are here, and hundreds of spaceports are spread across various city-states.

Every day, thousands of spaceships take off and land here, and countless cargo and passengers are transported here.

The huge flow of finance, goods, and talents is even more magical than the magic of a magician.

What used to be a ruin has now become the most prosperous region in the entire plane.

Leaving aside the special features of business and technology, with the arrival of a large number of foreigners, Thor is a place where many cultures meet, and education naturally has its own unique features.

Among the many school parks, there are some very special, such as the Western-style schools created by the Westernization Movement, and there are also special schools in the Special Economic Zone that cultivate new professions such as spaceship designers, builders, and pilots.

Some have stepped into the ruins of history after a short period of glory, while others have become bigger and bigger in response to the needs of the times and have become so-called symbols of the new era.

The Thor Star Knight Academy, where Rorschach is located, is a symbol of the new era a hundred years ago, and now it is a historic school.

Thor's First Star Watch Academy,Originally, it was Thor's premier royal school.,Now,It's a special school with the goal of cultivating "cosmic knights who are not ashamed to wander among the stars".

Magic, horsemanship, language, and magic mechanics are all subjects they need to learn.

But for Rorschach, who was born on Earth, Ash, who is full of magic and fantasy creatures, the intersection of fantasy magic and cosmic technology, and the cities of Thor, where all common sense and non-common sense converge, are too dreamy ........ too tossed.

I didn't feel the romance and fantasy of fantasy adventures at all, and since I came here, this group of bastard classmates and their weird worldview have been challenging the lower limit of their common sense every moment.

But some things are the same....... like being a student, the damn exams and the endless knowledge of history.

"What year did the representatives of the Ash tribes sign the Covenant of the Wardens?"

"In the 37th year of dawn, the elves were the first to sign, and the last were the trolls, and they dragged on for 87 years just to elect a new chief in their own way. The original chieftain was bombed in the previous war, and his name was not even left behind, rest assured, there was no name left in history, and it is impossible to take the test. ”

"When and where was the Sol Business Alliance founded?"

"In the year 442 of dawn, on that afternoon 132 years ago, in order to strengthen contacts and commercial exchanges with other worlds, in the Great Hall of the Cloud Tower, thirty-seven countries, including the Mage Country and the Northern Lan Alliance, signed an agreement and decided to establish a special zone for foreign development, and there was a permanently neutral Thor Business Alliance......."

I heard that tomorrow there will be a history exam in class, and the worst ones will have to be tutored, and the students have begun to cramm.

"The day of the birth, the day of death, the day of the resurrection of Estrada, the hand of miracles?"

"....... this knowledge point is missing, I remember whether he lived for more than 1,600 years, or more than 2,800 years. ”

"Obviously more than a thousand, and the history of this generation of mankind may not be 3,000 years. ”

"Tsk, he actually lived for almost 2,000 years, so he must have refreshed a historical record. ”

"Longest to live?"

"No, stay a virgin for the longest time, I remember mentioning in 'Legends of Jokes' that Estrada had no lovers until his death, and devoted all his energy to the education of the Reforming Light and the new generation of paladins. He is the best Paladin Mentor, and there are a whole bunch of epic celebrities among his disciples. ”

"Poof, it's really the purest paladin. But I've heard that the more abstinent you are, the more perverted you are, and the book teaches the young knight that he doesn't have any idea of a cute boy........

People are forgetful, and time is even more ruthless.

Fifty years and the handover of three generations can make the new generation laugh at the hardships of the past and focus their attention on ridiculing the romantic past and hairline of the founding leaders.

The same is true of Ash, four or five hundred years have passed, and the once heroic epic has become a joke before and after dinner.

The words of praise in the textbook have been listened to for a long time, but they have become boring preaching.

When the rebellious psychology of young people regards "subversion" of authority as a kind of honor, the jokes and "stalks" of all kinds of heroes and great men are naturally overflowing.

Using modern values to explain the behavior of people back then, the result is that in addition to some historical celebrities who have more nicknames such as broken shoe control, wife control, and Zhengtai control, the gap between rumors and truth and direct is getting smaller and smaller.

Just like the relationship between the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which has been confused by countless people, the novels and games derived from the historical book are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the real historical facts.

"What? King Arthur is a man? Nonsense, she is obviously a blonde girl, even if she has a flat body, she can't say that others are men. ”

"What? Tang Sanzang is a bearded monk? Nonsense, the others are little white-faced monks, and there is a monkey, a pig, and a kappa as apprentices! What? Not a kappa is a bald man? Is there a difference?"

"What? Sad Wind is a male half-dragon? Nonsense, she is obviously a cute elf girl, otherwise how did she get the title of Mother of All Beasts?"

Ahem, it's far away, back to the point.

Thor's First Star Knight Academy, the first year of the Demon Armor Department Class D classroom, the students around Rorschach are busy.

Some of them ask and answer questions to deepen their memory, and some of them repeatedly review before the exam, which is a busy ...... The improvised cramming scene, well, is provided that the small pieces of paper are being prepared and the lettering is being carved on the desk.

What makes students hate more than going to school is that they probably only come to school on their days off.

The notice on the blackboard that those who fail to pass the history lottery test will make up for the holidays, so that even lazy students can quickly become diligent.

It's been two weeks since she arrived at this college, but Rorschach has never been able to adjust to life here, let alone her studies, which can only be described as starting over.

While the other students were busy reviewing at the front, Rorschach also looked at the cover of the history textbook ......., looking confused, and he could only be confused.

"What the hell is this, why do I, an earthling, want to study extraterrestrial history, and I actually have an exam tomorrow?"

A large number of unfamiliar place names, country names, personal names, and various historical events are the most difficult to remember in learning history.

But even an ordinary person, under the repeated influence of movies, television and novels, will have a certain understanding of historical events and historical figures, and these "common sense" will help him learn history.

is like a lover of the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, when taking the relevant history of the Three Kingdoms, he can get a few right, and the premise is naturally that he must distinguish the gap between the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the official history of the Three Kingdoms.

As an earthling, especially as a game lover, thanks to the endless related works in this area, Rorschach knows the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and his past exams were good, but now he ..........

"What the hell is the Dawn Holy War? The Battle of Hades also took place in another plane, why do I have to remember the birthday and deeds of the primitive knights of a certain village, it has nothing to do with me! What the hell is it that has lived for more than a thousand years, is this really human? And ........ what kind of ghost text is this textbook, I can't understand it at all, do I have to start learning it again from elementary school?"

Yes, the worst of all, is the linguistic problem that is often ignored in time-traveling novels.

Daily communication can also be made with the lingua franca promoted by the Watchmen Alliance, but there is no reason not to use the local language for this locally mass-produced universal textbook.

Rorschach's heart was violently spitting, but his face became more and more light.

The smiling boy closed the history book, which he couldn't read, and looked calmly at the top of his head........

"Ah, the ceiling here is so blue, hey, there are people playing football outside? Indeed, the weather outside is so good, don't waste such a comfortable sunlight, anyway, I don't understand, it's better to skip class and go out to exercise." ”

The teenager escapes from reality, but the next moment, familiar sports attract his attention.......

"It turns out that there are also ball games here. Tsk, they played really badly......."

Until the stadium, Golem kicked the ball in front of the goal, the ball was gone, and the goalkeeper flew with the goal.

The hapless orc goalkeeper spun around in mid-air and wailed, falling into the distance like a meteor.

"Only to find out that even playing football is a high-risk activity these days. ”

Considering the difference between each other's previous bodies, as well as the orc's arms that are thicker than their thighs, and their small body, if they are kicked, I am afraid that they will not even have a chance to fly directly.

So, Rorschach withdrew his gaze and nodded silently.

",.......As a student, it is my duty to study hard. Well, study hard and listen carefully. ”

At this time, the bell rang, and a brown-skinned elf woman with white hair and purple eyes walked in.

"Good morning, everyone, today, we are coming to the first lesson of our elf, since you can enter this school, you should have completed the basic teaching of elf. This semester, we will learn the basic grammar and 5,000 common vocabulary of 17 elven branches, such as gray elf, snow elf, wood elf, and ancient elf. Come, please open the textbook written in Elvish and read it with me......."

Glancing at the desks of the other students, Rorschach silently pulled out the brand-new textbook full of tadpole texts.

"Oh, so this isn't a drawing book......... Let's start reading from kindergarten. ”

Silently closing the textbook, Rorschach smiled as an enlightened person.

But he didn't know that the order of the Grey Elf Tutor's classes had always been good, not because their lectures were interesting, but because they originated from the Dark Elves, not only stingy and resentful, but also with very good eyes.

"The little classmate by the window in the penultimate row, well, it's you, seeing you smiling so happily, you should be very confident in Elfish language. Come, this paragraph will be read by you. ”

"What?"

At this time, Rorschach, who was even at fault for laughing, probably had a distorted expression.
