The top floor of the redstone tower is the smallest part of the building. After all, this is a minaret, narrower the higher it goes, not a domed tower.

The eloquence lesson should have begun. Behind the door of the conference room, which is used as a classroom, there is a heart-wrenching argument.

The volume was so loud that Ai Chen remembered the scene when he accompanied Zhao Xiyuan to the disco for the first time. Under the terrifying bass music, he held his heart the whole time, so he didn't have to carry his breath.

The situation in front of you is not so exaggerated, but it is about the same.

"Oh my God, how many people are in there? How many people am I going to debate with? ”

The middle-aged bachelor smiled and held up a finger, "As long as you can say that you can win the best student among them, you can say it." ”

Pushing open the heavy double doors, the noise seemed to suddenly take shape, pouring out like a nest of gel, so frightened that Lady Bi and Aichen hurriedly blocked their ears. As for Shanti, she froze in place and frowned, as if she was not moved by this.

There were about 300 young students gathered in the room, all of whom were seventeen or eighteen years old. Men and women were in equal numbers, arguing about a topic written on the blackboard.

'What is the flame made of?' ’

The views of both men and women are recorded on the blackboard. Boys think that flame is the element of fire, and girls think that flame is another form of matter, like the relationship between water, ice, and fog.

The middle-aged bachelor entered the door and began to knock on the blackboard until everyone stopped debating and quieted down.

Aichen looked at what was written on the blackboard, and he had a different feeling in his heart. As a traverser, he naturally knew the correct answer to this natural science question, and had also heard of the 'phlogiston theory', a hypothesis about the composition of flames.

Now that I see two groups of people arguing over this kind of topic, an indescribable sense of imitation rises to my heart.

Looking at the men and women who were actively debating, he felt that for the first time he was exposed to the details and reality of the world in front of him. The world was completely freed from the symbolic 'Western Fantasy World' in his mind.

After quieting down, the middle-aged bachelor let Aichen to the podium and explained his identity.

"This stranger from afar claims to be a sage in the clouds. So, students, you must now find your best debater to determine his identity. ”

When the students heard the word 'Sage in the Clouds', they immediately stared at Aichen with a playful expression. As for the 'strongest debater' classmate, he also consciously stood up from the girls' pile.

"I've won the title of King of Eloquence for two consecutive years, so no one will want to compete with me for the opportunity to talk to the Sage in the Clouds this time, right?"

It was a short, freckled girl who spoke. He was a year or two older than Aichen, but he was much smaller than him, and he was a lot thinner.

She had long, pale blonde hair, messy, covered in chalk ash and tied together haphazardly with strips of cloth. Although it seems a little ordinary, even a little inconspicuous, the tone of his voice is full of pride.

Ai Chen looked at this girl and didn't dare to judge people by her appearance. He has never participated in a debate or anything like that, and if he is only reasonable, he probably won't win. He still has this confidence.

The slap-sized girl walked up to Ai Chen and bowed to the classmates in the audience. Suddenly, a huge wave of applause erupted, and it wasn't until the middle-aged bachelor knocked on the blackboard that they were quiet.

The girl took Aichen's hand and shook it, looking very excited, and then introduced herself: "My name is Maluni, your opponent." ”

"Well, my name is Aichen. You'd better not treat me as an opponent, I'm certainly not your opponent. I'm here just to warn you of the impending danger and to prepare for it. ”

Maruni: "Oh? What kind of danger is it? ”

Aichen: "To put it simply, it's 'Beast Tide'. The Sky Island has long been deserted, and there is nothing on it except for creatures in the clouds and ruins. In a month's time, one of the great unsealed monsters in the ruins of the Sky Island will awaken. When the time comes, the other creatures in the clouds will be driven away from the empty island and driven to the ground by this big monster. This is the crisis you will face. ”

Maluni: "That's right. I get it. That is, you not only call yourself a sage in the clouds, but you also consider yourself a doomsday prophet. Right? ”

Aichen: "The end is not the end. No matter how powerful the creatures in the clouds are, they will not destroy your civilization. But it's sure to be beaten badly. ”

Maluni: "That's right. That is, if we do not listen to the advice, a very large number of lives will die from the tide of the beast in your mouth. Right? ”

Achen: "That's right"

Maluni: "Very good, then. Have you explained this to the magician? Magicians are better at fighting than we bachelors. You should be clear about this, right? ”

Aichen: "I told them, but they didn't believe me. ”

Maruni: "Did you drink the elixir?" ”

Ashen: "I don't want to drink that stuff for some personal reasons. ”

Maruni: "yes, I understand. So, Mr. Aychen, let me repeat your point. You claim that our Golden Crown Kingdom is about to face a catastrophe where thousands of people will die. And you're a reporter, but for some personal reasons you don't want to use the truth pill to prove your identity, right? In other words, you're a demon who doesn't even want to make a small sacrifice, and is willing to die for tens of millions of people, right? ”
