64. The History of the Gods
History of the Gods.
Well, the first lesson I took at THIRD was history. Bai Yiquan put away the class schedule and looked at the classroom in front of him, which was similar to a university classroom, to be honest, he still liked history, and many times he wished that he was a liberal arts student rather than a science student. However, his father's sentence "Liberal arts students are not easy to find a job" kicked him to study mathematics, physics and chemistry, and he didn't understand it after two years of study.
There is a credit card machine at the door of the classroom, and you have to show your student card to enter, and the machine will automatically spit out a textbook after entering the classroom. Bai Yiquan thought this was quite interesting, probably because different people distributed different textbooks, anyway, he saw that the textbooks received by a female elf and a male dwarf were different. When it was his turn, he naturally took out the black card that Hermer had sent early in the morning and put it in the machine.
After a short delay, he also got a textbook with the scent of ink, and the title of the book was still ornate - "History of the Gods", but unfortunately the cover of the book did not have pictures, which made him feel that something was missing. After getting back the student card, Bai Yiquan suddenly found that the students in the classroom all focused their eyes on him, regardless of gender, or race, they all looked at Bai Yiquan with deep surprise.
Bai Yiquan bowed his head. It's strange, it's obviously zippered.
Never mind. Bai Yiquan chose a relatively remote corner, ignored the eyes of others, looked at the book by himself, and was instantly attracted by the content of the book. "History of the Gods" is not so much a history book, but due to its peculiarity, it looks more like a mythological story in its own world.
From this point of view, the myths and stories in their own world are probably not made up, and there are indeed real gods in their world. Bai Yiquan found the traces of the fire god Loki, who is the sinister and cunning fire god in Norse mythology, and three evil children, one of whom is the serpent around the world mentioned by Thomas, Jörmungad. And there is some ink in this "History of the Gods", but it only says that Loki has been on Earth for a while, and it is not as long as expected.
And it is "possible" that monsters with divine powers were left behind, but the authenticity is debatable. At least [THIRD] has not observed the existence of Jörmungård on Earth, so the "monster with divine powers" and the "serpent that surrounds the world" are just legends.
At this time, Bai Yiquan was a little confused, and even this book couldn't determine the authenticity of "Ye Mengjiad", so he was really just a dream that night? But if it was a dream, it was too real, and it was after he killed the [God].
Bai Yiquan thought about it, but decided to keep this matter in his heart. Even if Jörmungadr really existed and was eyeing him, it would be impossible for him to directly attack the [THIRD] headquarters, right? As for waiting for him on the earth, it is impossible for the earth to be so advanced in science and technology, how could it not be observed by satellites if the snake that can circle the earth?
Of course, Bai Yiquan knew that this was just a comfort in his heart. Ever since he saw the [God] come out of the sea of fire step by step, and almost killed them all under Thomas's bullet, Bai Yiquan's previous cognition has been subverted.
"Looks like you're interested in Loki. ”
An old voice suddenly sounded in Bai Yiquan's ears. He turned his head to see an old professor with silver hair and half-moon-framed eyes, resembling Arbus Dumbledore, smiling beside him. He subconsciously wanted to stand up, but the old professor stretched out his broad palm and pressed his shoulder.
"Don't worry, [Bai Mang]. The class hasn't started yet, so we can have a good chat. The old professor smiled and said, "My name is Mera Jeffs." ”
"Hello Professor Mera. Bai Yiquan shouted dryly.
"You're good, kid. Going back to our previous topic, I see that you haven't turned the page, are you interested in Loki?" said the old professor with a smile, "Or do you just want to know about the main god you have obliterated?" ”
Bai Yiquan didn't know how to answer him.
"The fire god Loki, the fourth son of the Flame Monarch, a powerful guy who has perfectly inherited the core abilities of the Flame Monarch, has always been one of the research objects of the Academy. Mera said, "His main ability is the [Fire Lord], and he ranks twenty-first in the list of "Forbidden Records", which is five ranks higher than your [White Mang], but unfortunately he was killed by you before he could use it." ”
"What's the list of 'Forbidden Records'?"
"You can understand that the ability to be forbidden is so strong that it is needed. It is also a powerful and extremely difficult ability to control, and Loki, as the strongest existence among the four fire gods, is precisely because he has almost perfectly inherited the [Fire Lord] ability of his father Flame Monarch. And with this ability, he has erased many gods and enslaved many worlds. ”
"Enslaved, many worlds?"
"Yes, in the age of the gods, humans were nothing more than ants. The gods are supreme in any world, let alone the main god Loki, who has enslaved many worlds with great strength. Yes child, I use 'slavery' instead of 'domination'. He is not a ruler, just a butcher, a powerful and cruel butcher. ”
Bai Yiquan was silent. He thought of the red-haired young man, and it was really hard to associate it with the butcher just by looking at his appearance.
"But there is no way to do it, the human race at that time was ignorant and small, and when the dragons and orcs rebelled against the gods, we humans were still helping the gods build a dormitory. But now it's different, we have the Divine Descendants, we come together from all the worlds, and we start learning. So, even if we go back to the age of the gods, we will not be lambs to the slaughter. Mera laughed and said, "You've wiped out Loki, that's the best proof, isn't it?"
Bai Yiquan nodded as if he didn't understand. Ever since that night, every day people who meet him seem to want to say to him, "Wow, how awesome you killed Loki." But he really didn't feel how awesome he was, the [God] at that time was just a skeleton, he was traumatized by Thomas, and he was controlled by Ye Zhifan, he just used his own ability to result in the [God].
It's as strange as if the ancient prefectural ordinance ordered the beheading of a heinous criminal, and in the end the people thanked the executioner not for the prefectural ordinance.
"Alright, it's time for class. Anyway, Loki's history is over, and if you want to learn more about the history of the gods, listen to my lesson. Trust me, this class will help you in a way you can't imagine right now. ”
Mera uttered these meaningful words, then patted Bai Yiquan on the shoulder, got up and walked towards the podium.
