Shen sat on a bench in the hallway, and his familiar face was not seen among the passers-by.

Because of his injury, he missed two weeks of class and didn't report to his instructor until today.

His mentor's name was You Shannan, a well-known strategist and a tenured professor at the Chillo Academy. It is said that he was a strange man, who was admitted to the Wizard Academy at the age of ten, and began to teach students after graduating at the age of twelve. In each class of students, he only picks two people to guide, and this year, Shen Zui is one of them.

The door of the tutor's office was locked, and Shen Zui took out the "Faith and War" that he had just borrowed from the Palace of Wisdom and looked through it.

The first chapter is entitled "Martyrs and Preachers." The question at issue is the question of whether or not to use force in the various manifestations of secular society, which most new religions face the greatest difficulty in the early days of their founding.

The attitude of the Catholics to violence is clearly opposed, the Celestial Church advocates "no harm", and the Anglican Church forgives sinners but also explicitly opposes the settlement of disputes by force, which is in stark contrast to the naked worship of force and cunning in the so-called primitive paganism.

Most of the first preachers set foot on pagan lands without armed escorts. Faced with the persecution of primitive paganism, they were faced with the opportunity to die for their faith and aspired to become martyrs. However, for any religion, there are relatively few trained missionaries, and from the standpoint of the long-term development of religion, the popes and monks need them to continue to serve more than martyrs. So, they began to seek help and protection from the faithful, including local or national rulers, and thus began the tradition of sending professional soldiers or skilled warriors to protect the preachers.

In this process, violence is inevitable, no matter how much the preachers encourage the uneducated professional armed forces to settle disputes peacefully. The local conflict with the infidels gradually intensified into a senseless war, the outcome of which now seemed unimportant, and the pain left by the war on every inch of the land made the preachers realize that they could not control the professional armed forces through the power of faith, and that it was doomed to backfire in order to achieve the purpose of transmitting the doctrine through them. As a result, the preachers began to select suitable candidates from among the believers for professional militarized training, forming their own armed force, the Apologists.

The cathar group consists of 100 people, and there is no limit according to the number of people. Generally, there is one regiment commander, three deputy regiment commanders, one general affairs officer, ten non-commissioned officers, no military doctor, and the others are sergeants. In addition to absolute obedience to the teachings, members of the Guardian Order are required to strictly abide by the Order's rules, systems, regulations, and laws, and they no longer own personal property from the moment they join the Order, and must be in good physical condition in order to be ready to fight.

Shen Zui read less than two pages, noticed someone behind him, and turned his head to see a dark and thin middle-aged man.

"Recommended reading. The man said.

"Yes, just starting to read it. Shen Zui judged from his age that he was most likely You Shannan, so he closed the book, got up and bowed nearly ninety degrees, and said in a loud voice: "Teacher, okay." ”

"There is no need to be polite to the rude. You Shannan said softly.

He opened the office door and invited Shen into the room.

There are no windows in the office, the ventilation is poor, and there is a sour smell in the air. It wasn't large, with a desk taking up most of the space, wooden boxes full of paper materials piled up on the floor, and a wooden board in the corner that looked like his bed.

"There's nowhere to make it for you, so just stand and listen to me. You Shannan said while rummaging through the materials on the ground, "Hunting injuries?"

"Bad luck and a wild beast. ”

"Never leave the problem to luck again. You Shannan raised his head, and a pair of small eyes stared at Shen Zui.

Shen Zui was shocked by his tough tone, and he didn't know how to respond, so he could only nod silently.

"Because of your problem, I'm late in teaching, so I'm going to catch up this month. You Shannan finally found the material he wanted, he said a few pieces of paper full of words and handed it to him, and said: "The way I teach people is different from others, I won't tell you what to learn, how to learn, the knowledge is in the book, you can't hide from it." What I care about is how to develop students' ability to think rigorously, and you and my students have to adapt to this. In the past four years, I have taken two students, one is you and the other is from Kyushu. You just need to know each other's existence, you don't need to know who each other is. You are both fellow disciples and adversaries, and every week I will come up with a question, which may be about military strategy, it may be about policy, it may be about history, it may be about art. In short, one of you is going to write an article to make your point of view, and the other is looking for logical problems and loopholes in your thinking about this article. The first article, your opponent has already written, and you come to the problem. ”

Shen Zui took the pages, the handwriting on the paper was sloppy and messy, and the sentences were continuous, and it was difficult to read. At a cursory glance, the discussion focuses on the reasons for the failure of the "land reform" in Kyushu 15 years ago.

"Give you a week to find out the problem with this article from your personal perspective. You Shannan sat on the chair, his feet on the desk, "Again, I don't care which of you has the right opinion or whose idea is more reasonable, I just think that your thinking is rigorous enough." ”

"Understood. Shen Zui said thoughtfully.

"Then you can go. You Shannan waved his hand.

Shen Zui walked out of You Shannan's office, sandwiched the pages in the book, and walked home.

Passing by the horse farm in the center of the campus, someone was playing polo, and Nurli, who was riding a big black horse, stood out in the crowd.

The Seven Star Tower Castle parted, and the two had not seen each other for nearly a week. Shen Zui wanted to ask about many things that happened that night, so he sat on the viewing platform on the sidelines and waited for the game to end. Nurlisheng is a first-class rider on horseback, playing with aura more than he fights, never fighting alone, rampage, passing the ball to the goal, timing is just right, and after a while he scored three goals in a row, and finally led the team to victory.

At the end of the show, Nurri noticed the drunkenness on the viewing platform, and he rode over.

"It's recovering well. He took off his helmet and smiled and showed a row of neat white teeth.

"It's okay, but the lost meat can't grow back. Shen Zui peeled off the gauze, revealing a healing wound on his forearm.

"I'm sorry to leave you there alone, it's the meaning of the Red Liuhou, I'm afraid it will attract people's eyes. When we returned to the city, he told us not to go to the doctor to see you, and it was the same thing. Nurli jumped off his horse and did beside him.

"Understood, I was in a daze after drinking the pills, test... What was the final result?" asked Shen Zui in a low voice.

"It must be passed. Nurli looked around at the desert and continued, "The 'xenomorph' you killed has added a lot of points, we cut down the 'xenomorph' and give it to the Red Stream Marquis as a gift, not to mention how happy he is." ”

"That's good. Shen Zui said with relief.

"To be honest, many of the members of the 'Guild' didn't like you as a civilian candidate, and this time it really shocked them. How the hell did you single-handedly kill that monster?"

"I don't know, one second it's so fierce, the next it's down. Shen drunk said helplessly.

"There was not a single fatal wound on the corpse, and there was no sign of poisoning after the autopsy, which is very strange. Nurli said.

"I don't study the past, hey, anyway, I won't do this kind of thing in the future. ”

"Haha, I guess too, would you like to drink some mint tea?" said Nurli, "By the way, would you like to have some more 'Forget Worry Grass'?"

Shen Zui still vaguely remembered the embarrassing scene last time, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, I didn't drink less pain water some time ago, and my brain is still dizzy, I just got my homework from the tutor, and I can't be blurry anymore." ”

"Okay, then I'll go first, see you in three days. ”

Shen Zui was puzzled and asked, "Three days after the next test?"

"Why can't you get letters?"
