Chapter 154: The Clash of Giants
Adelia stopped, and Given, who was following her, looked curiously at the once legendary Professor Morris. At this moment, the professor's eyes did not have the chaos and madness of the past, but were extremely sober.
Although his hair was still unkempt and his robes were still so dirty, an invisible majesty had returned to him.
The professor walked past Adelia and whispered.
"You come with me. “
Hearing the mentor's call, Adelia followed behind Professor Morris, and Givens followed quickly, and the group soon came to the balcony on the second floor.
The balcony faces the garden, and on the right side of the balcony you can see Dean Colin standing in front of the door.
Professor Morris's sudden appearance caused a whisper in the crowd, and many of the younger elves saw the legendary professor for the first time.
Professor Morris's dress and appearance were a stark contrast to his legendary experience. So the surprise and curiosity of the elves soon turned into silent ridicule and contempt.
Professor Morris ignored the elves in ornate robes, he just turned silently and looked at Dean Colin standing at the door of the first floor.
"Colin, are you here with your gang to spread wild?"
Professor Morris's tone was not at all like talking to the head of the Royal Calling Academy, but rather like a reprimand for an apprentice who had caused trouble.
Colin had been the dean for seventy or eighty years, and his hair had gone gray. With his identity and age, he can act as an elder in front of most elves. But not in front of Professor Morris.
Colin's teacher was only a junior of Morris, and in this seniority school, he could only endure it in front of this crazy old man for the time being.
Dean Colin held back his temper that was about to flare up. Ignoring Professor Morris's harsh words, he turned to look up at Professor Morris and replied calmly.
"I just wanted to ask you to cooperate with the King's Sword investigation. “
"I don't have much to talk to about those black-skinned crows. Professor Morris scoffed at Dean Colin's request.
"Professor Morris, you're going to make it difficult for the Summoning Academy. The King's Sword already has your correspondence with Professor Jaime, and they have found hard evidence in Professor Jaime's cottage that he has done something against law and ethics. “
Hearing Dean Colin's words, Givens couldn't help but think of the large pile of letters scattered on the desk in the bloody basement, which he didn't have time to look through because of his haste at the time, but it was obvious that these letters were related to Professor Morris.
But Professor Morris only snorted and retorted, "What does this have to do with me? I'm just discussing the origins of magic with Jaime. “
"I trust your innocence, but the King's Sword still doubts your relationship with those crimes. What you may not know is that Jaime not only killed those innocent elves, but also fused them with life. “
Dean Colin's words are getting tougher. In the elven kingdom, life is endowed with sublime significance, so the use of life magic to fuse different lives is a "forbidden area" that must not be touched. No one should ever experiment with such magic, and those who dared to defy the law would be brutally punished and disappear from the world silently.
Professor James of the College had been conducting such experiments, and without the College realizing it, Colin was already responsible for the misregulation. Now that Professor Morris has openly rejected the King's Sword investigation, if he does not deal with this trouble quickly, the fire will inevitably provoke him.
After listening to Colin's statement, Professor Morris sneered.
"Jaime was crazy, but he at least knew where the truth was going. You are so afraid of his research because he will shake your faith......"
"Maurice, you're crazy. “
Colin, who had insisted on looking calm, suddenly changed his expression and interrupted Professor Morris. But Morris cried out even louder.
"I'm not crazy, I'm just trying to find the origin of the spell!"
"Maurice, you forced me, and I can only hand you over to the King's Sword. ”
Dean Colin's face, which had always been kind, suddenly showed a fierce light. He raised his hand slightly, and the high-level summoners in the garden began to slowly gather around the building, and the king's swords in the distance were also ready for battle as if they were facing a great enemy.
"Come on, Colin. Sooner or later, both schools of thought will end our differences in this way. This time, it just so happened that the protagonist was replaced by you and me. ”
Of all the people present, only Colin understood the meaning of Morris's words. For he had heard his mentor arguing with Morris in his study countless times. They were close friends, but they also had a fatal disagreement.
For the vast majority of elves, being able to use summoning is a gift from fate to their race. Not every elf has this special talent, but they are still proud of it. Because this is a proof of the nobility of the elven race, and it can also prove why it was the elves and not other races who stepped on the throne of the continent after overthrowing the rule of the demon race 10,000 years ago.
Since spellcasting is a gift of race and blood, those elves who can use life magic, and even those who can use summoning skills, are naturally superior beings in the elven world.
It is not only the hard study and wisdom that determine the existence of magic, but more importantly, the noble bloodline and bloodline
Most of the top summoners agree with this theory to varying degrees, after all, in the history of the kingdom, a large number of excellent summoners have indeed emerged from those famous families, which wordlessly proves the importance of bloodline and inheritance. And this perception will improve the social status of every summoner, which makes it unbearable for all to refuse it.
But there are always people who try to break this seemingly perfect conclusion.
Morris is one of them, and after training three forbidden spell summoners, he is on his way to his final goal in life. He tried to explain the origin of all the magic in this world.
But as his research deepened, Morris accepted the views of the astonishing school. He openly claimed that it might be a physical coincidence that the elves were able to use summoning magic, just as demons happened to be born with fire elemental magic.
All the magic of this world, including summoning, works according to its laws and does not change. They do not live for the elves, nor do they die for the elves.
Maybe one day, the elves will disappear from this world completely. But the origin of the spell will continue to exist forever.
This conclusion is terrifying, and it can even be deduced that those high-ranking summoners and countless great families are just the result of some coincidence or accident. And this kind of coincidence can actually happen to anyone, and the king and the beggar are actually only one step away.
Morris's research was apparently unpopular with anyone, so he rebelled and was abandoned by his family, and ended up living alone in this dilapidated laboratory building.
Colin's mentor was the one who completely defeated Morris academically, and there was an inexplicable grudge between him and Morris. As the heir to the mentor, Colin also knew the meaning of Morris's words.
But Colin ignored Morris, he just kept moving backwards, stepping down the steps, closer to the professors and lecturers he had brought with him. Finally, when he thought he was far enough away from the building, he stopped and warned Morris for the most time.
"Maurice, you can't win. ”
With that, Colin took out his staff and began to chant the incantation.
"Not necessarily. Morris's tone was full of confidence.
After greeting the old people, the professor turned his head, looked at the stunned Adelia and Jiwen, and then half-jokingly said, "Look, there will be a summoning technique you have never seen before!"
