Chapter 4: Emanchet

"Nothing strange about ......"

Arthur stood in the shadows and looked at the narrow alleyway, speculating on what might have caused his old rival to give up for a while. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"The Emperor of Brittania is in a hurry...... "The young woman quietly retreated beside Arthur, "his hounds will not trouble you anymore." ”

"That's great news......"

Arthur jerked around, but his outstretched hand only touched a distant corner of his clothes, and the woman turned around the corner of the alley like a butterfly, and disappeared there.

The bounty hunter gave chase, and he ran wildly through the gloomy alleys, nimbly maneuvering around corners, and then rushed headlong into the bright streets.

The dangerous maiden was always one step away from him, but just as he was about to touch her, Arthur stopped.

Right next to him, two of the sons of Brittany, agents of Lutwig II, approached in the crowd.

Despite all the men's efforts to hide themselves, they were as obvious to Arthur as wolves in a flock.

"Unlucky ......"

Arthur sighed inwardly, cocked his collar and turned into the crowd.

At that moment, he seemed to see the figure of a woman.

She's the real target of the royal agent.

......

Magellan walked into the university, skirting a lawn and grove along a stone-paved path, and finally into a castle-like building.

It was the school building of the School of History, a gray stone building with a dozen gloomy old classrooms, and Magellan's office, which he frequented.

But he didn't go to his office today, he hadn't been there in a long time, and since returning from Theros, the place he frequented most was the classroom.

The fifth classroom on the third floor was usually the least student-bound area, and Magellan walked straight in, leaning into a crimson chair, waiting for the teacher to appear.

As always, it wasn't until the bell rang that the students walked into the classroom in a sparse manner, and the teacher didn't walk in until a third of the time had passed.

"Good morning, geniuses. ”

"Good morning, ma'am!"

The few boys in the room smiled at the countess on the podium, and Helen smiled.

"Today I'm talking about the limitations of agnosticism and the two possible variants......"

Magellan closed his eyes, and although he was surprised by the sudden appearance of the countess, he concentrated on the lesson.

"So we know that agnosticism is a very unconvincing deplorable theory, and although theoretically it has not been refuted, emotionally, the number of people who believe in this theory is drastically decreasing......"

The classroom is essentially a salon of a group of philosophy professors who will tell their students about their latest research, and most of the time, there will be no students in the classroom, these philosophers are just sorting out their thoughts.

"And a new theory that we know is that knowledge is dangerous and can solve the limitations of agnosticism......"

By the middle of the countess's speech, only Magellan was left in the classroom.

Then Helen stopped.

"Good morning, Professor Magellan. ”

"Good morning, ma'am. ”

"You didn't understand what I was saying......"

"yes, that's hard for me right now. ”

"Well, you can now understand the greatness and horror of the gods. ”

Helen walked up to Magellan and sat down in her chair.

"What is the second theory?"

"Oh...... That's an overly emotional argument that can't be called a theory for the time being, and it's not very rigorous, and according to evolution, yes, your friend, Darwin's theory that is still being debated, that the ancestors of humans were social animals, and that all wanted to be close to their own kind. Knowledge, on the other hand, creates a barrier that separates different people, and in the end, this difference can make the most ignorant and wisest people become crazy in loneliness because their instinctive needs are not met. ”

"Forget it...... Magellan finally opened his eyes, "I don't understand at all." ”

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the turquoise lawn below.

"What's the matter?"

"A lot of people want me to introduce them to you. ”

The countess today wears men's clothes that are easy to move, but with a dignified style, and fully worthy of the status of a professor of philosophy.

"But I turned them down because you're busy. ”

"I'm not that busy...... But...... Thanks, I really don't have much free time. ”

"I'm going to Emunquet. ”

"The former domain of the king of the world...... Explorer's former paradise ......"

"I will seek out there a god who ruled Emenkai in ancient times, and ask him if he remembers what happened in the distant past. ”

"The secretary and the god of wisdom, the ibis and the baboon...... Thoth...... "Magellan, with a look of reminiscence," said Magellan, "the poor god who was cut into seven parts, though the murderer did not have the secret powers he had sought so hard. ”

"So......" Magellan turned to the countess, "you think he's alive and wants to resurrect him?"

"It's a complicated plan, and I hope you can help me. ”

For the first time, Magellan smiled wryly: "I've had most of my head cut off." ”

"Whether you are worth it or not, we will see in Emunquet. ”

"You've found a Pharaoh's personal magical advisor, the noble Archmage?"

"Not yet. ”

"But you already have a plan. Magellan shook his head and looked at the unchanging smile on the countess's face. "Count me in. ”

That's exactly what I want to hear, especially after helping you block out a few tough guests. ”

Magellan smiled: "Now that I've made a promise, you don't have to stop them." ”

"It's good news because ......"

In the middle of the countess's speech, there was a knock on the door, echoing through the small classroom.

"Professor Magellan......"

A man opened the classroom door and walked in.

"The world is collapsing......"

The man looked up at the empty classroom and the open window, his black eyes full of helplessness.

He walked to the window and looked at Magellan and the Countess, who were walking downstairs towards the school gate, but did not follow.

"The world is crumbling, at least the part that belongs to the dark world does. ”

"Everything you hold dear is about to come to naught, and the only thing that can stop it from happening is the people who unite around you, Magellan. ”

"Hurry up and find yourself, Savior......"

In the man's muttering, a flash of light streaked across the classroom.

At that moment, a terrifying force flew into the air with the man through the open window.
