The attic of Constance is not too far from here, a few people will arrive in a moment, and the location is behind the teaching building not far from the church.

Looking at the direction in which Constance was going, Teris felt that the bishop's residence was a little cramped, and he couldn't help but wonder if the school was paying the professors on time.

After entering, Teris realizes that he is wrong, visual deception is more likely to give a false impression, this residence should have a lot of magic circuits engraved on it, whether it is light or sunlight, it can give the wrong impression. In addition, I am afraid that there are traces of space-time magic here, and here Teris feels the disharmony of space.

Even so, the size of the attic space is barely enough for the owner, and the room is full of things, but the placement is staggered, making people feel comfortable looking at it. Watching his mentor expertly rummage through boxes and cabinets to find the tea and snacks he wanted to drink, and find a comfortable sofa to nest into, Teris felt that he should re-examine his mentor-bishop's relationship.

"Just felt me, and forced my excellent students to transfer to the college, you want me to come out and talk about it, anyway, what do you want to ask?" Unexpectedly, Ilian was the first to speak in the sofa.

"I felt that he was quite interested in the occult, so I sent out an invitation, and for the rest of it, I wanted to share your research progress on the Maelstrom. ”

"Since it's an exchange, then you can say it first, we just confirm each other. ”

"Okay, then I'll start by saying that the space shock ten years ago formed a great vortex that is now difficult to eliminate, I still think that this is the will of the "Lord" plus the interference of human factors, I have been looking for relevant evidence, until today, you should also see it, it is the Lord's holy grace, as long as I go in this direction, I can see the clues, and even know the truth, so I can't help but send an invitation to your student Terese. ”

"Old friend, you're still as direct as before, but it's not very boring. Speaking of which, this is also a fate given by God, if it is placed in front of the "source of chaos", people like me are estimated to be executed as heretics, but the era of chaos has come, it is difficult for your lord to respond, in order to survive, we have become allies, as allies, how many questions have you answered me with a sentence of the will of the lord, I am really a little tired now, can I answer a question directly? Just say that there is no key information?" Ilian's tone was full of helplessness.

"You know, in the realm of the occult, the answers are so vague, even the guidance of God is so secretive, it's hard for me to give precise answers." Konstanz understood the complaints of his old friend.

"It's true that it's a bit difficult for the occult, but that's not the point, Lord Bishop, it's just that you have been prostituting my research results for nothing every time, which makes me very unhappy, do you think you should compensate me?"

"How to compensate, tell me, if it is reasonable, I can help you".

"What do you think of my new students? Would you be interested in teaching for me for a while? At this point in the conversation, Teres felt that the situation was a little chaotic.

"So you've agreed to Teres's transfer to seminary?" Constance looked at his old friend, and his unconcealed joy appeared on his face.

"Of course I don't agree, you heard me clearly, but I just teach those 'occults' that I am not very proficient in, and it seems that my students are still somewhat interested in 'occults'." As he spoke, he glanced at Terex, who was silent. "It's just, you know, how difficult it is to find a good student to help you with your research, can you understand me?

Teres saw that Constance was quiet, and muttered for a long time, "Although I am a little reluctant, it is a win-win situation, yes, Ilian, I promise you"

"I know that old friend you will not refuse this little request of mine, so let's move on to the matter of the maelstrom". The whole process completely ignored the feelings of the person concerned, and the matter was settled. Kortres sensed that his mentor had been very considerate of him, and he gladly accepted. There is no better teacher than this.

"I don't know much about the maelstrom than you know, the city of Odin is four thousand kilometers away, although the transmission of news is not as slow as it used to be by carrier pigeons, but the distance is so far that it is difficult to grasp the truth of the matter, and the arguments given by your parishioners are not convincing. Aside from these, the spatial anomaly caused by the previous generation of saints is indeed amazing, and her intentions are still unclear, but at present, according to the data, the situation of the 'Great Vortex' is quite stable, and the structure of the space tends to be dynamically balanced, but it has a great impact on the magic tides and climate of the Elren Continent, although it does not have much impact on you, but it is very unfriendly to us magicians. According to the latest research results of the association, the change of magic tides greatly affects the proportion of elements in the continent of Ellen, not to mention the operation of magic circuits, just the adjustment of meditation methods is very painful, if we are not allies in long-term battles, 99% of magicians will think that this is your conspiracy. “

"What about the remaining 1%?" Kia interjected.

"That's a traitor among magicians! According to the rules of the guild, he will be put to death. Illion glanced at Kia and continued. "But obviously this is not true, in recent decades we have lost more and won less, compared to the demons, we are more united than before, although the defense line has been compressed, but the situation is still in a stable state. The bishops of the diocese of Odin would not have been so stupid as to plan such a thing. In addition, according to the news from the local association, the altar in the center of the 'Great Vortex' cannot be approached at all, and it is difficult to obtain the nearby space distortion data, after all, the research on spatial structure has always been controlled by the headquarters of the association, and what I can do is limited, so I can only use the observation instruments of the Astronomical Institute to measure some simple data near the 'Great Vortex', and use mathematical models to analyze and study, but there is no big discovery. ”

After hearing this, Constance was silent for a moment, "Although I also want to add relevant information, but limited to the issue of permission, my understanding of the 'maelstrom' is almost like this, it seems that it is still difficult to make progress, so I have to wait." ”

"Yes, in this state of dynamic equilibrium, unless we find its regularity, we can only wait for it to get worse. ”

"How bad is it?" Teris asked for the first time.

Illion looked at the crowd, "You should all have the answer in your hearts, do you have to let me say it?"

"The second great tribulation, we will have a second source of chaos, just like the first." In the end, it was Konstanz who gave the answer.

But these things are hell when you think about it, after the first source of chaos, the population of the continent has plummeted by 70%, the space is distorted and deformed, the magic tides are chaotic and violent, many places with suitable environments have become uninhabitable dangerous places, the living space of humans is greatly restricted, and most importantly, powerful alien races have appeared, which have brought endless pain to various countries for the next few thousand years. It's no wonder that the Magic Association and the major bishoprics attach great importance to the 'Great Maelstrom', which is a giant bomb lurking on the continent of Elren, and I don't know when it suddenly exploded, and the Lord can't do anything when he comes.

"Okay, that's the end of today's popular science, don't spread this information from this room, today is a day worth celebrating, don't always think about something indefinite. Illian stood up, paused, and looked at Terres, "Besides, Terres, you have to be prepared, neither the study of the 'Maelstrom' nor Professor Constance's class can be pulled down." ”

"Okay, teacher. "Teres has been in a dizzy state after listening to these things, and the amount of information contained in them is too complex and very confusing. Suddenly, someone called his name, and he was really startled.

"Are you alright, kid?" Constance was the first to notice Terez's strangeness, "Do you have any objections to Professor Ilian's arrangement? ”

Terres came back to his senses and found that the topic had been taken a long way away, "I have no objection to Mr. Ilian's arrangement, it may be that I slept late yesterday and was a little uncomfortable just now." He rubbed his eyes as he spoke.

"In that case, Kia, you can go back with your brother first, it's not too early, I haven't seen Professor Constance for a long time, so let's talk for a while. Illian snuggled up on the couch, motionless, as if he was going to spend the night here.

"Goodbye to those two teachers". Teres stopped at the door, saluted, and took Kia's arm and turned away.

The door shut, and the magic light in the attic flickered and dimmed, illuminating the uncertain faces of the two.

"Thank you to my old friend for helping me find a student with such potential, I believe he will guide me to find the truth?" Konstanz smiled.

"Is it really so heavy?"

Constance looked at his old friend in surprise: "Of course, these words are indeed a bit abnormal to come out of the mouth of a magician, shouldn't it be the nature of you magicians to inquire into the truth? Truth is a lifelong pursuit for me, just as important as your mathematical model and your magic model." I've been searching for a lifetime and still can't see the world clearly, but I finally see some hope, and of course I have to do my best. ”

Ilian sighed: "Looking back for so many years, the closest thing to the real should be the Grand Arcanist of the Elren Empire, but they are all dead, without leaving any words and words, maybe your lord doesn't want people to see it so clearly, not to mention that at this time, the battle situation is even more cruel than we expected, in a few days it will be my turn to go to the front line to supervise the battle, my students will please leave it to you." ”

"Okay, I wish you a safe return."

Illion stood up and placed his teacup on the table, "May your Lord bless you in your quest for truth, happy Winter Veil, goodbye." ”

"Happy Winter Veil
