137. Professors and Masters
"I'm Grim, a professor in the School of Biology. ”
Hervin shook hands with a man in his thirties:
"Hevendelenga, I guess Your Excellency has already heard of my 'notoriety'. ”
Grim smiled:
"Thunder. ”
Grim is not flattering, and the news about Hevendelenge has been overwhelming in the past few days, but most of it is negative, with only fragmentary reports affirming Hevendelenger's academic achievements and not discussing his conflict with Veronica.
And he himself is also actively searching for information about Hewen, I have to say that Hewen's past is very mysterious, I don't know if it is because of the nature of his work, he has not left too many traces.
Fortunately, he found another way to understand Herwin, and that was through his writings.
As he read more, his suspicions deepened.
Is it really possible that a man who has been to so many ancient primitive tribes has not been affected in any way? Has he seen the ancient rituals that blaspheme humanity?
Shouldn't such a person have fallen into the bottomless abyss a long time ago?
Herwin was also watching Grim.
If this man is not standing beside him, his well-groomed appearance can be regarded as good, which is enough to attract the attention of many ignorant female students.
Grim's chin and beard were shaved clean, his brown curls covered most of the man's resolute face, and his eyes seemed to be unwavering, but there was a fierce undercurrent lurking in the deepest places.
The wide brown trench coat is worn on the outermost layer, the well-developed abdominal muscles can be faintly visible under the collarless shirt that clings to the body, the trousers meet the boots without revealing a single skin, and the dark place shrouded in spacious clothing hides something.
Grim doesn't dress like a professor or a member of the Evil Institute, and he's an old-fashioned tough guy who is gradually entering middle age.
This was different from what Herwin had expected, he wanted to meet a seemingly rational scholar who had kept madness and darkness to his heart, a member of the Precursor Institute.
But Grim is more of a Captain of the Guard at a Precursor base than a researcher.
The biologist pulled out a stack of papers:
"Professor Herwen, come and see this. ”
Hervin reached out to the results document and began to flip through its contents.
Most of it is the evolutionary history of the Grey Wolf of England, and there is already information about its habits and physiological structure.
He stretched out his hand and continued to flip through the paper, when a gorgeous inverted triangle composed of dozens of line segments suddenly came into view, and there was a positive cross in the center of the triangle.
Hewen continued to look at the other text on the page as usual, and the description on it showed that the symbol had a complex relationship with the ancient worship of wolves.
He felt a little weird.
Although he did not make the symbol, he was involved in it, and the inverted triangle and the cross, which symbolize the negative aspects, were adopted and improved by others, but some of the lines concealed the symbol of Higrone, which represents victory.
For personal reasons, he didn't use Tillune, who also represented victory.
The effect of this symbol is also very simple, that is, it will terrify the intelligent races who have mastered the power of evil and blasphemy, and the evil people who see this symbol will be unable to suppress the cold sweat and let out a rapid gasp.
He was no different.
Hewen suddenly said:
"There's something wrong with that. ”
Grim pretended to be surprised and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Hewen pointed to the inverted triangle and said:
"This symbol symbolizes victory, justice, and punishment for evil, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the wolf as a creature, and you should ask a better folklorist to gather information. ”
Herwin gestured with his eyes:
"Take me, for example. ”
Herwin handed the file back to Grim, and he suddenly noticed a hardcover book with a familiar name on the table.
"The Sub-animal Deconstruction of Hervendelenge?"
Seeing this, Grim pulled out his book and politely introduced:
"That's right, it's the work of one of the great pioneers of biology. ”
Herwin asked:
"Can I take a look?"
Grim handed the book to Hevin:
"Absolutely. ”
The books he would put on the table were the types that would not arouse the suspicion of normal humans, and "The Deconstruction of Sub-Animals by Hervendelenge" did not originally hide the fact that monsters were there, but this was a specially modified and disguised version, and anyone who flipped through it would consider it an interesting read.
Hewen casually flipped through his "great book", he had always wondered if his books would be too strange after the monsters were no longer active in front of human eyes, but now it seemed that he still underestimated his peers.
No sane person would have any doubts about this book.
"It's a good work. Hervin sighed.
Grim nodded:
"Of course, Hevendelenge is a master of unknown reputation, and only a few people know his name, but that doesn't mean he's not great enough. ”
Hervendelunge returned the book to Grim.
"This gentleman, Hervendelenge, is a brilliant scholar. ”
Grim smiled with satisfaction:
"That's right, Professor Hevendelenga, you, as a layman, can see how good Master Hevendelenge is, and I am amazed. ”
Grim suddenly felt a strange feeling, as if something obvious had been overlooked.
However, the thought only lingered in his mind for a second, and then vanished without a trace, either in the medial temporal lobe, where short-term thoughts were temporarily stored, or in the prefrontal lobe, which manages long-term memory.
Grim inquired with a curious look:
"I heard you also have a niece at school. ”
Herwin nodded:
"That's right, she's a bubbly little guy, and if you meet her on the way to school, you can stop and say hello to her, and she'll be very welcoming to you. ”
Grim was now able to make a rough sense that the other party was not an evil wizard or something, and that the girl was not imprisoned, so he could find a moment to confirm whether she was really Hewen's niece or had been kidnapped by him.
Of course, this does not confirm that Hervin does not possess the mysterious power, but if he is not a villain, even if he has more power, it is none of Grim's business.
To be honest, what he is doing now has crossed the line, it is not his scope of work, but after that incident, he is wary of all possible destabilizing factors.
Hervin had already roughly guessed Grim's past career.
He is also a witcher.
But Herwin didn't let his guard down completely.
He'd seen too many witchers.
Most witchers live their old age with the same rich savings as the monster disappears, while those who are not content to be quiet find jobs that continue to bring challenges and excitement, such as adventurers and physicists.
But not everyone becomes a demon hunter in order to destroy monsters, some out of hatred, some out of survival, and some because they have no other choice.
Power and power have always been a deadly poison of temptation, and even the most righteous people can be eroded by it.
