The summer program finally started as scheduled.

Mei Yi didn't come to class with Shuwei, and Shuwei didn't force her to invite her.

Because the two of them are currently in an awkward relationship.

Shuwei felt that a thousand years ago, the two of them were really crazy enough. Yes, she was crazy enough at the beginning.

forced Mei Yi to watch her walk into a tragic death, obviously hated Mei Yi, but he clearly knew how fierce his love was, so he would choose this method to retaliate. Thinking about it, this kind of woman is terrifying enough, it's like believing in a cult paranoid madness. There is no way back.

Her revenge was still successful. Mei was almost driven crazy by her - he had said that he had been sentenced to a thousand years, and Shuwei thought it was just a metaphor, but now she didn't doubt it...... I'm afraid that Mei Yizhen held the wisp of light smoke that had long dissipated, and spent the torment and waiting of the previous year in the fire and sulfur lake. Because that's where she died, so even if it's a sulphur purgatory, he wants to stay there, as if her soul is still gone, and she can still be with him.

Shuwei thinks...... Basically, she has already taken revenge, and he has atoned for his sins. Anyway, even if she vaguely understood many things, she didn't have much hatred for May.

Not only did he not have hatred, but he seemed to have some ...... Sympathize?

It seems like a debt to say that, but ...... A thousand years!

As a human being, the life span is only a short 100 years, but whether it is career, love, money, prestige, food, entertainment...... She wants to enjoy, there are too many things to pursue in this short life, even if there are one or two things she will not give up in her life, but life is too short and the world is too beautiful, she has not yet been so attached to one thing that she is willing to stay for a long time.

But that doesn't mean she won't be moved by the persistence of others.

Once they clearly realized that they had indeed been entangled a thousand years ago, they realized that Mei Yi had indeed been in love for a thousand years...... She felt that many of her past statements were too despicable and insincere. Because her decisions are made after clearly considering the status quo and weighing the pros and cons, it is not without kindness, but it is true that it is not because of love.

This made her feel embarrassed when she faced May.

She felt that Maye should be in a similar state.

So in the short term, she thinks it's better to go with the flow first, and time will solve the problem!

Odysseus pressed the brick-like lesson plan against the lectern with a blank face, his ice-blue eyes sweeping over the bustling students in the classroom—although it was still summer vacation, Herodotus, as the star lecturer of the academy, had a large number of fans, and his lectures never worried about the audience. The classrooms, which can accommodate more than 40 people, are already full.

He could see Shuwei at a glance from among them.

She sat in the farthest corner from the podium, her long hair tucked back, and she was carefully studying the lecture notes. She wasn't followed by the little devil.

Odysseus flipped through the lesson plan and set it aside. After his death, he wrote about the subject of this lecture - legend.

"Professor Herodotus has gone to Egypt and is expected to return tomorrow. I am the teaching assistant for this class. You can call me Odysseus. ”

Handsome but cold as frost, tall but stiff as a sword. The body seems to exude a cold and murderous aura at any time, and there is no one in his eyes with "these miscellaneous soldiers are not worth seeing".

In the face of such a strange teaching assistant who entered halfway, none of the academy students in the classroom who were very perfunctory and difficult to deal with in various senses dared to squeak. There was only one little girl who quietly asked the seat next to her, "Odysseus, isn't it the ...... of the student union" Odysseus's eyes flew over, and the girl was instantly silent.

Shuwei: ......

"What is the most important thing for the study of history?" He opened it this way.

There was silence, and no one even dared to give a similar answer.

Odysseus waited a full three seconds. His eyes were still cold, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "First-hand information." Then, as if he wanted to give these stupid students a second chance, he asked, "So what is the most important thing in the first-hand account for future researchers?" ”

Silent.

Shuwei: The bastard's goosebumps are up, and the phobia of embarrassment is about to attack!

Anyway, she can only squeak hard to break the situation," ...... Real? ”

"How much will the physical object survive in a thousand years? Even if it is preserved, can you infer what happened at that time from a physical object - such as a clay pot, a foundation, or even more, the ruins of a city? ”

Shuwei: You haven't heard of a daughter buying bones, and you won't fall if you are encouraged to praise you!

"I can deduce the state of life at that time. For example, in those days, people used clay pots to hold water, the structure of the house was like this, how the city was planned, and so on...... But what happened depends on the records of the people at the time. Shuwei's heart almost collapsed, "Ah, I understand, the most important thing is the written record left by the party?" ”

Odysseus looked at her for a moment, probably aware of Shuwei's delicate situation, and finally turned his gaze to the center of the classroom, "Yes, the most important thing is the written record left by the people at that time. But in many cases, we are faced with a situation where people left no records at the time, or records that were left but not passed on to future generations. Especially for scholars who study the history of alchemy. Before the origins of alchemy, the world was without words. After the origin of alchemy, as a secret science, the person concerned rarely left a record that can be passed down to the world. But that doesn't mean that we don't have first-hand information to study when it comes to the history of alchemy. In the end, he couldn't resist using the interactive teaching method*, "Does anyone know why?" ”

Probably because his voice gradually softened, and his gaze was no longer so repulsive, when he landed his gaze on a student, he finally got a faint response, "Because of ancient legends? ”

Odysseus nodded and asked, "So does anyone know what part of the ancient legend has to do with it?" “

"Demon King?" There was finally an atmosphere of discussion in the classroom, "Legend has it that the three demon kings stood in the camp of the human race, teaching them alchemy, casting and magic respectively. ”

"Yes, Demon King." Odysseus replied, "Unlike humans, demon kings have a long lifespan, and the events of a thousand years ago are history for us, and all those who went through that era have died, and most of the creations that existed in that era have been annihilated. Even rivers can be diverted, mountains can be wiped out...... But for the demon king who had experienced that era, time had not even passed too long. They themselves are the witnesses who have survived. These immortals, who have escaped time, are themselves first-hand accounts of human history. ”

"But this kind of 'first-hand information' also has a big flaw, do you know what it is?"

This time everyone laughed, and the response was almost unanimous, "...... A legend in itself. "It's harder to get than real first-hand information." "Is it really zài?"

"Save zài." Odysseus's gaze softened rarely, and he looked at Shuwei.

Shuwei didn't care about looking back-wasn't she more hooligan than anyone, anyway, Mei Yi was her resolute and wouldn't let it out.

"And it's not as hard to get as you think. Although it is rare, there are indeed people who have successfully summoned the Demon King. And some of them did do what we are discussing today - from the mouth of the Demon King, we got the truth about the birth, rules, and history of our world. ”

"But there is a big problem with all of this - humans can lie, and the Demon King is no exception. In fact, they are simply lies. Odysseus replied, "So the topic of our course this time is the origin of ancient legends and alchemy. And the ancient legend we are talking about comes from the 'first-hand information' we just talked about, the Demon King. ”

Although his gaze was still cold, his face was still expressionless, and his man was still like a long sword ready to be unsheathed, and when he turned around and pressed his hand on the lectern, all the students had been mobilized and looked at him with great interest.

He said, "Now, if you want to know something, you can ask me directly." If I happen to be interested, then make it a topic for our class. ”

He looked at Shuwei again, and Shuwei's heart moved, and many questions had already flashed through her mind - she had so much to know. (.)
