Part 5 We'll See You in the Future 10 The teacher went out for the second time
10 The teacher went out for the second time
In the first lecture after the New Year, the teacher took everyone to appreciate the beauty of the desert.
The yellow sand is thousands of miles, and the distance is still filled with sand and dust, and the boundary between heaven and earth cannot be seen clearly. There was not a single cloud in the clear blue sky, and the blazing sun scorched the sand...... Is this really beautiful?
"Maybe it's a kind of frightening beauty...... Hahahaha......" House said, then laughing to himself, "The view here is terrible. ”
The teacher smiled and said, "That's right, the desert brings people definitely not joy, but emotions can't measure beauty. Everything in the world will always appear in your eyes, will you abandon all the ugly and leave only the most beautiful? ”
"I see what you mean, teacher," Para continued, "you want us to extract beauty from what seems ugly. ”
The teacher nodded and said, "I agree with you, Para." I hope that everyone can have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty and know how to appreciate it. ”
"Is aesthetics important?" Albert said in a strange manner, "As far as I know, drawing is the least important class in the school. ”
"I think aesthetics are very important," Umi retorts, "and in many theaters, in addition to having the actors memorize the lines and perform the plays well, the crew will also set up a lot of scenes, which are not flashy, but very simple, but give people a real feeling." In fact, you only need to listen to the lines to understand what the story of the script is told, but we are still willing to enjoy the performance in the theater, because I appreciate the rigorous attitude of the crew to the performance. ”
Ryan also felt it: "I also remembered this, once I watched a play, there was a famous actor playing a traveler, he didn't tie his shoelaces when he appeared, I thought he had accidentally forgotten at first, and then I realized that it was because the traveler was too tired to tie his shoes." Maybe the actor will not let all the audience notice by doing this, but this is how he shows a real feeling. Teacher, is this considered beauty? ”
The teacher smiled and nodded slightly: "This is the attitude derived from having aesthetics, and what Umi said is also very good." Therefore, my personal opinion is that aesthetics is sometimes more important than beauty itself, and aesthetics can even affect a country's cultural heritage, social atmosphere, and the development of other industries...... Even ugly things can be seen in beautiful things. So tell me, where is the beauty of this desert? ”
"A serene beauty." Daniel said.
"An unchanging, enduring beauty." Parra said.
"The temperature here is also beautiful for the weather-savvy." Umi said.
"Maybe it's not bad to die here...... Ah, I'm kidding......" Albert pouted
…… Everyone talked about it, and under the guidance of the teacher, they also began to know how to appreciate beauty, and I believe that after several princes returned to China, they would also make this aesthetic spirit popular among the royal family, and promote the construction of national culture. Therefore, in the past few hundred years, no matter how aggressively the three empires expanded, they always attached importance to the construction of national culture and led the times—but this is a story for later.
The time soon came in March, and everyone learned more knowledge from the teacher: not only governing the country, but also many ways of dealing with the world, as well as a wide range of practical daily skills...... The three people who learn magic are also constantly improving their abilities, and they often skillfully use various magic to add vitality to everyone's lives.
"But the teacher has never shown magic, huh? How did he teach you? Ryan asked Parra about the fact that he was curious about the study of magic, but unfortunately he didn't have enough talent.
Showing her Saknusem Manuscripts, Parra said: "As long as we know the meaning of these ancient words, we can cast the corresponding spells on our own, and the teacher helps us to decipher the meaning of the ancient words and teach us some of the spells, he does not have to demonstrate them himself...... Remember the dark shadow that played against you? ”
Ryan nodded, he remembered the duel that day vividly, especially when he faced "himself".
"That's magic, it's the teacher using 'puppet magic'."
"But I always feel like he doesn't usually show that he can do magic," Ryan was still a little skeptical, "Besides, can't you cast magic through spell stones?" ”
"Well, you have a point." Para didn't refute, "But I don't know, why don't you ask the teacher directly?" ”
"No, no, I'm just curious......" Then he picked up Paran's copy of the Saknusem Manuscript and flipped through it, which was densely packed with many alphabets that he could not read, very different from the ideograms he used. There are many annotations in Parra's manuscript, and Ryan can easily see which words have not yet been deciphered by Para, but he just flips them back and returns them.
At the beginning of April, the teacher said to everyone again during the meal, "I'm going to go out for a while, and like last time, you can review what you have learned by yourself." Sure enough, the next morning, the teacher was nowhere to be found. At breakfast, people had already begun to discuss which books to borrow this time, but when they entered the teacher's room, no one saw Nils and Albert, and Ryan wanted to look for them, but under the attraction of books and knowledge, he still trusted his brother not to have any surprises, and the others thought the same.
Albert and Daniel were not surprised, they were discussing something in the shed where the broilers were raised, and the "cooing" of the broilers made their conversation not easily heard by outsiders, which is why the two chose to discuss here.
Daniel's heart was pounding as early as the teacher told everyone that he was going out again, and he still remembered his unexpected discovery when the teacher was out last time, after all, those things that were strange to him will always linger in his memory. Albert, who accidentally learned the truth from Daniel's mouth, also understood his state of mind, so after the teacher left, he immediately found Daniel to come to the chicken shed, and after careful consideration and discussion, the two reached an agreement: take advantage of the teacher's outing, and tell others the truth behind the "stone gate...... No! It's for them to see the truth with their own eyes!
"Show them the truth, and recognize the true purpose of the teacher......" Daniel said hesitantly, his hands trembling because of fear, "then, what happens after that?" ”
Albert put his hand on the other's shoulder, trying to calm him down, "If what you say is true, then trust me: when they see that, they will want to kill the teacher with their own hands!" His words sounded ill-conceived, but they were uttered with a very serious attitude.
Hearing Albert's encouragement, Daniel seemed reassured, he nodded, took a deep breath, clenched his fists, stood up decisively, and walked out of the chicken shed. Albert followed, and on his face, without the casualness and frivolity of the past, finally revealed his majesty and momentum as a prince, but his aura was not to show himself, but to build momentum, support, and encouragement for Daniel.
The two entered the black building with solemn expressions, as if they were about to perform a sacred ritual.
Without guidance, the two of them went straight to the door of the teacher's room, and there was a slight sound of discussion coming from inside. Daniel stopped in the doorway, took another deep breath, and looked back into Albert's eyes. There is the same attitude in the eyes of the two - firm! Moments later, Daniel entered the room, and Albert followed closely, standing to his left.
After that, a lot of things will change......
The people in the room did not show surprise or surprise when Daniel and Albert suddenly appeared at the door, it should be said that they thought that the two should have been there.
"Please all the servants go back to their rooms, and I will be with the three of them...... The four princes discuss a very important matter! A decisive and deep voice rang out, and it wasn't until they looked at the door that the room realized that it was Daniel who said it. Albert took a step forward, coughed twice, and a moment later, the brothers' servant walked out of the room with the borrowed book.
"Please leave the book." Albert stopped the servant with the book gently and solemnly, so that people did not dare to refuse.
House and Umi and their servants looked at each other, and it was reasonable that they would not easily follow a sailor's orders as princes, but seeing the usually casual Albert suddenly and solemnly vouch for Daniel, they also realized that things might not be easy. The two of them looked back and listened to Daniel's speech. Para was the last to leave, but was stopped by Albert and left in the room. Ryan never said a word, a little stunned by his brother's momentum and Daniel's remarks.
In the teacher's room, there were only four princes, Daniel, and Parra, a total of six.
"Is there anything you want to tell us?" Umi asked, he wasn't feeling inappropriate or disgusted by Daniel's identity and behavior, but there was a sense of impatience in his tone.
"Three princes, and Para," Daniel saluted solemnly, "I'm going to show you something......" He walked straight to the teacher's wooden bed and began to move it vigorously with his hands.
"What are you going to do? Don't move in the teacher's room......" Para said in astonishment, but Daniel remained unmoved, pushing and pulling hard. Para was a little overwhelmed and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by Umi, "Let's see what he's going to do." ”
"But the teacher's room ......"
"It's still clean."
With a "squeak", the bed was finally moved away a bit, revealing a dark grid on the wall. Daniel reached in and pulled out the diamond-shaped wooden accessory.
"It's ......" Para never paid attention to the back of the wooden bed, as she simply didn't have the strength to move it.
House squinted, "This shape is so familiar, it looks like it's on the wall...... Oh! The one on the other side—" The others were going to gather around and take a closer look.
"Let's do it together." Regardless of everyone's reaction, Daniel walked out of the room with his accessories and came to the front of the "stone door".
"You're going to open it?" Para exclaimed, "The teacher said you can't open (the locked door......)," and she tried to stop it, but this time she didn't say anything and waited for Daniel to explain the situation.
Daniel took a deep breath and held the accessory tightly in front of the diamond-shaped groove of the "stone door", slowly scanning Para, Umi, House, Ryan and Albert in front of him with his eyes, and then pushed the accessory into the groove with a hard push.
"Princes, get ready—to meet the horrific truth."
