William had forgotten for a moment how he had come out of the apartment, all he remembered was that the two moons that night had been obscured by dark clouds, and a shadow seemed to hang over his heart. vertex

Everything that had been experienced during this time stirred up the thoughts that had been silent for a long time, and the excellent memory of a level 70 white-robed mage played a crucial role at this time. Huge amounts of information and materials rose in his mind, like a collapsed library, with pages flying, dust and smoke everywhere.

He remembered the last line of the song......

He thought of the dusty Ember Tower......

He remembered the question that Idril had asked him out of the blue a year ago,

"Do the elements really have life?"

Further back, there are many similar doubts......

Eventually, the memory came to him when he was very young, as a student, and he had questioned the existence of the Elemental Tower in Jialan.

Since our mages are all seekers of the truth of this world, why are there still mages who believe in the gods?

They don't believe in the truth, and their power does not come from the process of discovering the truth, but from the blessings of the gods, so why can they also be called mages?

Since "questioning" is one of the means of seeking truth, why is the first doctrine of the Elemental Tower that "it is not permissible to question the gods"?

And, why are all the legendary mages in history not believers in the gods? And where did they end up?

It's a pity that his questions have never been answered, and every teacher hurriedly avoids them when asked, as if they are afraid of something.

Even when he later met Lord Glazer, his question was not answered, and to this day, he has not even had a chance to talk to him.

In a trance, he seemed to have an enlightenment, which was the answer obtained by connecting all the information together, and the absurdity made him difficult to accept.

If...... If what Mu Yan wants to say is the so-called truth, this truth is related to the whereabouts of the legend......

At the same time, he was also banished and even persecuted by the Elemental Tower because of this truth......

Then the truth must have something to do with the Elemental Tower.

Yes, it must be so, because the Lord of the Elements is involved, so he can't trust anyone, including himself. Therefore, he can only flicker his words, throw away a few words, and let him dig out the truth.

And what about Deres? What role does he play in this?

Shadow Footsteps......

That's right, the shadow footsteps are the beginning of everything, like a spider web, catching Mu Yan, a restless bug, and Deres just happened to witness this scene, and the debt to others made him difficult to let go, so he used this method to imply himself......

As it was written in that book, he witnessed it and tried to make it public, only to be warned, just like the line carved on his bedside.

That's it! Shadow Footsteps is under the orders of the royal family, and the Jialan royal family is controlled by the Council of Six......

That story...... Right! That story! The spider eroded the king's body, like legends disappeared, and the Council of Six was controlled by "others", and then secretly extended fine spider silk in an attempt to subvert the magical empire...... And Mu Yan's arrival just perfectly explains who "others" are!

The source of it all is the gods!

The "other" is the master of the elements!

She's the spider!

Thinking of this suddenly, William was startled by his own thoughts, he felt that his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and even the sound of breathing was extremely heavy.

Calming down a little, he rearranged his thoughts.

No one had ever questioned the gods, at least not in his knowledge. Even the "Truth Sect", led by him and the scholars of the Silver Candle Society, acquiesced in the supremacy of the gods, and only disagreed with the holders of the "Bloodline" over the source of the mage's power.

Now, however, it seems that it is time to revisit all of this......

The above reasoning process is complete and logically correct, and as long as he proves one of the links, then the whole closed circle is correct, and the hypothesis will become the truth in an instant.

Thinking of this, William knew what he had to do.

……

Maybe Mu Yan didn't expect that what he casually hinted at would inspire William so much. He casually saved Janssen and saved a relationship between a pair of grandparents and grandchildren who were on the verge of breaking down, just to brush up his prestige and facilitate himself to blend in with Jialan as a student, and he had no deep meaning.

This series is like a coincidence, like dominoes.

He gave the first thrust, Deres erected the first slate, and the song Eric composed in his spare time became the second...... The next series of stone slabs were the doubts that William buried in his heart, and at this moment, under the inertia of thinking, they collapsed one after another, and finally achieved such a result.

Perhaps all this was Mia's arrangement in the dark.

……

On February 25th, it is getting closer and closer to the start of school in Jialan.

Mu Yan is soaking in a library called the "Vientiane Staircase", which is decorated like a Klaman castle, with waxy yellow yellow pyroxene walls, and book covers are all linen and moon white, symbolizing the mystery and majesty of knowledge in ancient times.

The irony is that modern people are increasingly fond of bells and whistles, and this plain color is instead seen as rigid and conservative.

He was half-lying on the ground, his legs bent, his fingers tapping together and unmatched, and in front of him was an open book, and after a while there were more pairs of shoes next to it.

"Mr. William?"

Mu Yan raised his head and said. He was going to pretend to be surprised, but when he saw William's tired face, he became truly surprised.

"I have something to discuss with you."

William's voice sounded a little hoarse, and the old man didn't seem to have slept well all night.

……

A few minutes later, the two sat in the living room of the Vientiane Staircase, Mu Yan didn't expect that this was the property of the William family, no wonder it was so retro.

After pouring a sip of tea, William spoke in Mu Yan's curious gaze:

"Here's the thing...... I don't know if Mr. Mu Yan is interested in coming to Jialan Academy......"

Mu Yan suddenly understood, and this is what he wanted.

However, the second half of William's words made him almost squirt the tea in his mouth.

“…… What about teaching? ”

"Huh?"

Wait a minute......

Together, William asked himself if he wanted to go to Jialan...... Teach?

Just kidding, right? 20-year-old teacher Jialan? Or an unidentified Oriental?

"Me?" He pointed to himself, "Teaching?" ”

William nodded, knowing that his words sounded incredible, he slowly explained: "Letting a knightly student enter Jialan is the biggest concession, and any other exceptions are impossible, neither I nor the Clark family can do this.

"For me, once this precedent is set, the Sainsa estate will be crowded with countless 'exceptional' applications, and even students who have been expelled will have the opportunity to come back. Similarly, for those nobles, they are concerned that the academy will accept more 'special' commoners......"

"Wait, Mr. William, why is all this? I mean...... Why do I have to go to Jialan? ”

"Because Jialan Academy is the temple of knowledge, the closest place to the other side of the truth."

"But it's ...... to me"

"Your Excellency Mu Yan." William said: "This is my gratitude to you, please accept it." Other than that...... Isn't that what you came to Jialan for? ”

Mu Yan's eyelids jumped, he couldn't hear what the other party was saying.

Did the hint before leaving work? It's not like it...... This old man suddenly cooperated so much, which made Mu Yan really a little surprised.

"I'll think about it."

"Please get back to me as soon as possible."

After William finished speaking, he got up and left, and walked vigorously.

At this moment, he seemed to return to the principal's position early.

"Teach?" Mu Yan seemed to fall into a memory, and his eyes became gentle.

"Huh...... Teacher Xia? ”
