Chapter 765: Dragon Lecture Hall (I.)
Roland gave Manny a wonderful fruit and asked him casually: "Take this coupon and enter the lecture hall on campus casually?" ”
"Yes, you can take any professor's class, but it's only valid for today. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Manny munched on the fruit happily and replied inarticulately.
"Then I have to make good use of this precious hospitality ticket, do you want to go to class with me?"
"Oh, hey, let's get it! You're such a good student, I want to doze off as soon as I enter class, and I'm going to play somewhere else. ”
"Then there will be a period later."
Roland said goodbye to Manny and walked around the campus while nibbling on the fruit. This Paradise Islands fruit is crisp and delicious, with the sweet, rich flavor of a tropical fruit, and Roland quickly eats the whole fruit and licks the juice off his fingers. Satisfied, I touched my stomach and began to look for lectures that interested me.
There is a bulletin board in the center of the campus square, on which the courses offered each day are written, and the topic, time, place, speaker and fee of the lecture are clearly marked.
Roland noticed that the bulletin board was divided into two parts, paid lectures on the left and free public classes on the right.
At first, he thought that the fees were based on the fame, content, and popularity of the instructors, but after careful inspection, he found that this was not the case. For similar topics, some lectures with the title of professor do not charge a penny, while the fees of ordinary lecturers may not be lower.
Roland stood in front of the bulletin board and pondered for a while, vaguely feeling that there were two sharply opposing currents of thought in the highest university in the metal dragon country: some people believed that the value of knowledge needed to be reflected through fees, and free teaching did not conform to the laws of the market; Some people firmly believe that citizens have the right to receive education, and using money to set the threshold for education will inevitably lead to class differentiation and hinder the upward path of society.
"There will always be disputes between the left and the right in the intellectual world, and the dragons are not exempt from vulgarity on this issue." Roland couldn't help but laugh.
Carefully check the content of the lectures, because it is a youth school of administration, of course, the topics of the lectures are mainly social sciences, law, sociology, system and management, public relations, international relations, economics and politics, military and diplomacy...... At a glance, Roland felt as if he had returned to the university campus before he crossed over.
He also noticed that most of the lectures on the native social problems of the Paradise Federation were discussed within the framework of the "aristocratic republic", but none of the lecturers openly discussed whether the system itself was reasonable.
Considering that dragons are far longer than human beings, spanning 10,000 years of history, Roland certainly will not naively think that their pattern is too small, their horizons are not broad enough, the various social systems that have appeared on the earth and are being implemented, the dragons may not be ignorant, they may not be unexpected, this can be seen from Valentina's social improvement experiments in the Far East, but they do not discuss openly on campus, this is not a matter of vision and pattern, it is more likely to be out of political correctness, to maintain the current system and vested interests.
Even if there were a radical teacher who revealed the flaws of the current social system of the Paradise Federation, it would be spread privately, and would not be publicly posted on the bulletin board, and even he, an out-of-town tourist, would be easily accessed.
Skipping over those topics that he was not interested in, Roland overheard a piece of news and immediately felt refreshed.
This is a lecture on the rise and fall of Vares's history, which concerns the land in which he lives, and Roland is naturally more interested. And he also noticed that the keynote speaker was the honorary dean of the college, a tenured professor, and a scholar with a long list of titles, and that the class was free!
"It's kind of interesting, it's him!"
Roland followed the instructions on the bulletin board and found Dean Suslov's lecture hall, where two half-golden dragon guards dressed in institutions stood at the door, looking at the pedestrians with a wary look, and when Roland ascended the steps, the eyes of the two guards were immediately focused on him.
Roland frowned, secretly puzzled: "Free lectures, so guarded?" "Along the way, he has only placed a student cadre at the door to play a guest role as a conductor, and he has never seen this kind of battle.
Just when he hesitated, one of the guards greeted him, saluted him first, and asked politely, "Does this classmate want to attend the class?" Please show me your student ID, thank you. ”
"I don't have a student ID, I just have this free ticket." Roland handed over the prize for testing the dragon's breath.
The doorman looked, didn't speak, and turned back to make eye contact with his companion.
Roland felt more and more that this atmosphere was wrong, and quietly opened the Pupil of Fate to detect these two "door gods", which made him secretly frightened.
System Prompt: Discover the Quasi-Legendary Half Golden Dragon Paladin 17!
System Prompt: Discover the Quasi-Legendary Half-Golden Dragon Paladin 18!
What the hell is this?!
These two guards actually have the strength of Sir Gray and Master Eugen, this kind of fierce man who can be called a strong man in the outside world, actually acts as a guard at the door of the lecture hall?
Roland was a little dazed.
At this time, one of the half-golden dragon holy warriors came over and asked for his name and origin. Roland replied truthfully.
The other half-golden dragon holy warrior took out the high-level communication stone and reported in a low voice, as if he had been instructed by his superiors, the coffin actually showed a kind smile on his face, opened the classroom door and said to Roland: "Where is the duty, excuse me, please come in." ”
Roland nodded hesitantly and stepped into the classroom.
The space in the lecture hall is very spacious, a bit like a theater, the circular staircase is arranged from high to low, and Roland has more than 500 seats, which is full, and the later students have no place to sit and stand to listen to the lectures, and people seem to be very attentive, which shows that Mr. Dean's lectures are very popular.
In the center of the podium was covered with a soft carpet, and an old golden dragon was lying on the ground in a leisurely posture, wearing a pair of magic glasses, and a long golden beard under his chin was very elegant, showing the demeanor of a scholar.
"Children, I just briefly introduced the prehistoric civilization of the world of Vares, the end of the Flood Era, the land surfaced, the gods left the world, and the history of Varess opened a new page, which is the beginning of the glory of our dragon race, and the starting point of the painful history that we can't bear to look back on today."
Old Mr. Jin Long's voice is clear and unhurried.
"You've learned enough about the history of the Age of the Dragons, and I can't say anything new, so I'll take it in a simple sentence, and then it's time for questions, the first question: What is the root cause of the decline at the end of the Dragon Age?"
