Time always passes quickly and inadvertently, and it is night in the blink of an eye.

Due to the large discrepancies in the data of the recent 'maelstrom', out of the prudence of researchers, Teres decided to increase the frequency of data collection in order to obtain more accurate data. By the time the data testing and analysis were completed, it was already dark.

Winterfell, a historic city, looks like a young baby during the day, but at night, under the bright lights, it becomes a tireless young man, burning his excess energy, and the hard-working people during the day take advantage of this little leisure time to relax themselves.

Of course, there is another scene of youthful charm at McGill University.

The deeper the night, the more peaceful it becomes, and the library stands in the middle of the night, like a haven for the lost, and many students are just starting their night life here.

The Banner Library is the largest library in McGill University and the most secluded and comfortable place in the university. As a library built during the church period, the Banner Library has a long history. At a time when the Church and the Elren Empire ruled the continent, this was the place where the clergy drew knowledge close to the Lord. After the chaos began, McGill University was built around St. Gilles' Cathedral and Banner Library, which in Terres's eyes was more like a palace.

Covering an area of about 200,000 square meters, the library was designed to meet the needs of the church, with a long building with open pillars on the ground floor, and curved windows under the arches on the second floor, giving a sense of visual disparity, and the lowered floor is more spacious and bright. The red oak floors and bookcases give the library an antique look, and the huge glass windows depict the saints, which are solemn and beautiful in the light.

Many years ago, there were many clergy here who studied the scriptures, edified the common people, and searched for the truth, and now there are a number of people here who are doing the same thing, but with more difficulty than their predecessors.

There's no other reason for Teres to come here, one is to borrow the books that Mr. Constance asks to know, and the other is to do a part-time job in the library.

In his current situation, Teres doesn't need to worry about living expenses, but he resents the so-called family members, those who didn't show up to help them 10 years ago. In order to be as financially independent as possible, it became necessary to work part-time on campus.

The library section that Teres is usually responsible for is the 'History' section, which is located on the second floor of the Banner Library, which is quieter than the first floor. Because of the large number of historical materials, there are not too many people who usually borrow books, and in her free time, Teris likes to look out through the window, and through the faint light, she can see a lot of things, there are students coming and going, deep shade of trees, and tombstones, on which there are many kinds of things written on them. In Terees's view, what is recorded in the history books is often more in line with the wishes of the deceased than the words on the tombstones.

A new tombstone was added here the other day, without the name of the deceased, probably because it did not want to make people familiar with it sad, and there was only one sentence on it: "The Lord of heaven and earth is asleep, peace is coming in the danger of war, we have grown up, which forces us to recognize our place before the Lord, who is teaching us how to survive without Him." ”

Although this is not long, it has a profound meaning.

Since the beginning of the chaos, the Lord's response has become less and less, and a large number of believers have not received the Lord's revelation, and the church has been in chaos. The ensuing wars exacerbated these contradictions, and the divisions within the church gradually intensified, and the factional disputes became more and more serious. To address these problems, reforms followed.

Even the Reformation can hardly perfectly resolve the fundamental differences in these doctrines, and devout believers make little difference in times of peace, but in times of chaos this is where the greatest source of misfortune lies. They each followed their own self-proclaimed orthodox doctrines, and interreligious tolerance was increasingly seen as intolerable. While trying to preserve religious unity, they also took a big step forward in the division of the church.

The denominational controversy focuses on how the pastoral work should be carried out during the period of the Lord's slumber, whether it should focus on the Lord or on people. The former is dedicated to awakening the will of the Lord in order to revitalize the Church and recreate the glory moments of the Church, while the latter is a secular sect that has been in the limelight in recent years, and it is also the backbone of the cooperation between the Church and the Magic Association, and the power of the Lord is achieved with human power.

After the beginning of the chaos, the twelve dioceses established by the foreigners to defend against them, and the huge city circle of ninety-six in total, further exacerbated the estrangement between the factions within the church, and the geographical factor also played a large role in this, and the Lokisas Mountains on the site of the former city of Odin were just one of the many mountains formed in this great upheaval. The geographical changes have brought great obstacles to the communication of the major dioceses.

In particular, secondary disasters caused by geological changes. This is far beyond people's imagination. The change of geology has also brought about drastic changes in the magic tides, and even the various magical elemental belts in the sky have been greatly affected, and the climate has changed drastically, and the climate has become extremely abnormal, and many of the previous means of communication cannot be used.

Moreover, the population loss caused by this type of disaster is much greater than the number of soldiers killed on the battlefield of the demon race, and sure enough, the secondary disaster kills people.

In this long and dark age, there are people who have died to keep peace, and even students who are still studying are always aware of their mission and responsibility, and nothing cannot be sacrificed in the face of the survival of the race. In front of the demon chariot are not only the twelve dioceses of the Elren continent, ninety-six city circles, but also the blood of many magicians and priests and countless soldiers, because of the greatness and selflessness, it makes people awe and admire, and then yearn for it, so Teris likes it here, just like the previous Odin City.

After a few turns, I finally came to the 'Historical Zone'. It's the same place as usual: under the stacks of books, there are hardly any people, and under the warm magic lamp, the unique silence of the library is even more visible.

Someone whispered, "The bell of the Gion House rings the sound of impermanence." The color of the Saros double tree is a sign that the prosperous one will decline. The arrogant will be defeated, just like a dream in the spring night. The fierce one is destroyed, like dust before the wind. The quiet chant sounded, and under the library of this atmosphere, there was a special charm. Teris vaguely remembers this ancient poem. As the voice went, the unruly officer was sitting in the teacher's seat, dressed in a black coat and black flat-rimmed glasses under her beautiful face, half of her attention focused on the book in her hand.

This is the teacher of the library's history section, Eddie Loyola, a graduate who has stayed on campus.

Knowing that this was a master who didn't like to talk much, Teris stepped forward to say hello and asked, "Good evening, senior sister", and then planned to go back and tidy up the bookshelves.

"Wait a minute, junior brother" Eddie looked up from the book in his hand and called out to Teres from behind, "What does junior brother think of the existing doctrines?"

Well, all of a sudden, from everyday greetings to doctrine? For a while, I couldn't figure out Senior Sister Eddie's thoughts, so I had to follow the conventional routine to fool the past first, "The teachings are difficult, and I have only recently come into contact with and understand them, and my cognition is not very comprehensive, so I really can't say why."

As if he couldn't see Terese's perfunctory, Eddie put down the book in his hand and continued to ask, "There are indeed many differences within the church, and it is difficult for newcomers to understand clearly. The fanatics are fighting their own battles, and the Enlightenment Sect and the Protestants are also secretly competing, and the junior brother thinks that is the side where the truth is stopped?"

Hmmm?Terres's head couldn't keep up with the rhythm, but the words flowed out: "As an outsider, I really can't see the direction of the truth, what does Senior Sister think?"

The corners of Eddie's mouth twitched, revealing a hint of a smile: "It seems that the junior brother really doesn't know, I always thought you were playing dumb riddles?"

Teres was even more confused, seeing such an expression, Eddie finally gave an explanation, as the white light flickered, the projection screen of the magic network appeared, and the school forum was opened, and the headline indicated by the red letter, "The spirit reappears, will the light be far away?" with a small video, click in, the scene is unusually familiar, there is a figure bathed in the milky white strong light, the scene is sacred and solemn, huh? This person looks so familiar! Isn't this the self the night before?

Eddie's voice continued to echo in Tris's ears, "After reading this title and content, does the junior brother still feel that he is an outsider? Indeed, in the perception of ordinary people, this is just an individual lucky event, but now it seems that this is undoubtedly a signal. For the Enlightenment sect, this is a positive signal, representing the continuous awakening of the Lord's consciousness, and for the secular sect, it is also a positive signal, whether it is the awakening of the Lord or the small turn of the Lord in the period of sleep, all of which are uncertain, so the development of things in the next few years is also extremely important. “

"And you, the junior brother who started everything, still think that you have nothing to do? Why you? and not others, have you thought about all this?"

Under a series of explanations, Tris's mind became more transparent, "That senior sister has explained so much, is the senior sister a lobbyist on that side? Enlightenment faction or secular faction? To be honest, I think the probability of enlightenment faction is higher?"

"Well, why do you think that?

"Intuition, there is no special reason, Senior Sister looks like she is from the Enlightenment Sect, mysterious and beautiful?"

"Thank you for the compliment! Unfortunately, no. Is the junior brother satisfied with this answer?"

"Is that the worldly side?" Eddie shook his head, denying it, seemingly unexplained.

"Then I don't quite understand, in short, I still have to thank my sister for the reminder." Seeing Eddie's attitude, Teris didn't want to ask any more questions.

"You're welcome, junior brother, you have to think carefully about what I said, by the way, Ximen Lina, who is in the same shift as you today, can't come because of something, in order to cope with tomorrow's school inspection, I have to empty the bookshelf today, thank you, junior brother. Eddie smiled

"No problem, I'll get it done as soon as possible". There's a hint of hesitation in Teres's tone, but he answers.
