"The universe is a dark forest!"

"The world is a savage cave!"

"Use the sword in your hand to pierce the dark night! Use boiling blood to ignite the brilliance of the starry sky!"

"Tianfa kills, then fight with the sky!"

"Kill the earth, then fight with the ground!"

"If you kill someone, then fight with someone!"

"Our souls will never wither!" The tall dean of the Starry Sky Academy raised his hands: "Life is endless......"

"The fight is not endless!" the blue-robed wizards frantically waved their fists:

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

......

......

"What a complicated, lengthy ritual. Zheng Qing felt the violent fluctuations of magic in the first hall, scratched Poseidon's chin, and muttered.

The little fox squinted comfortably, and its big tail hung in the air and swayed back and forth.

Even the roars of the new students of the Starry Sky Academy did not wake it up from a nap.

After returning to the corridor, the little fox jumped out of his hood and resumed his former liveliness and cheerfulness. It seemed that the complex magic array in the center of the hall had some kind of mysterious deterrent effect on it.

"Isn't this what people yearn for?" Xiao Xiao grabbed the brush, licked it in his mouth, spread out the notebook, and wrote something quickly.

His old tortoise fell heavily in his hood like a stone, and never moved.

"Longing?!" Zheng Qing almost laughed out loud when he heard this: "Are you kidding?

Perhaps his questioning voice was a little louder, and several of the classmates around him turned their heads and glanced at the two of them.

Xiao Xiao finally put down the brush in his hand.

There was still a hint of ink hanging from the corner of his mouth, which looked a little funny.

But he explained with a serious expression and a very serious tone: "That's right, that's what people have been pursuing...... Or, you can call it something of some kind of ritual. ”

Immediately afterward, he threw out a series of questions:

"Do you prefer chaos or order?"

"Do you prefer war or peace?"

"Do you like rules?"

Zheng Qing was a little confused about what Dr. Xiao meant, but with the intuition he had cultivated in the past two decades, he subconsciously chose some beautiful words: "Peace is naturally better than war...... Order is also, certainly stronger than chaos. ”

"As for the rules," he replied cautiously, after a moment's thought, "in a sense, the rules have two sides. ”

Xiao Xiao hugged his heavy notebook, lowered his head, and looked at the public scholarship student in front of him scrutinically, and his tone seemed a little dissatisfied:

"Simple!"

"The rules are good. Zheng Qing replied quickly.

"That's right. Xiao Xiao nodded in satisfaction and turned her gaze to the center of the hall, where the students of Atlas were listening to the Dean's final instructions.

......

......

"Faith is the sublimation of consciousness and the affirmation of one's will. ”

"The path you practice is your faith. ”

"Some people believe in the starry sky above their heads, some people believe in the morality of their hearts, and some people believe in the well-being of all beings and the unity of all beings. ”

"Our thirst for love, our quest for knowledge, and our unquenchable sympathy for human suffering form the foundation of our faith and provide an inexhaustible spiritual impetus for our faith. ”

"It's a world of faith!"

"This is a world worth saving!"

"This is where we live and die!"

The dean of Atlas looked serenely at his students, "Our covenant—"

"Do not do unto others as you would have them do unto you. The yellow-robed wizards spoke in a solemn tone and looked solemn.

The golden lotus flower erupted like a fountain from the criss-crossing magic array beneath their feet, and after crashing into Atlas's newborn body, it disappeared like an illusion.

......

......

"All intelligent races, including beasts, ghosts, and even demons in your eyes, are more receptive to an orderly and well-behaved life. ”

"Even if this order requires them to pay some price. ”

"Only order can concentrate the limited power of the individual and safeguard the interests of the whole race—from the perspective of the world, the solidarity of the race is of vital importance to each individual. ”

Xiao Xiao said this, suddenly turned his head to look at Zheng Qing, and threw another question:

"So, have you ever wondered what this invisible order is in real life?"

"You mean these rituals?" Zheng Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"Ever since we were born in this universe, we have struggled with the intense insecurity in our hearts. Xiao Xiao raised his head and looked at the roof of the first hall.

After the white mist cleared, the magical celestial phenomenon reappeared beneath the hanging dome.

The dense dots of light are like real starry skies, shrouding everyone's heads.

"The reflection of the heart reflects the real world outside. ”

And these rituals and rules, like the order of the real world, build a strong fortress for our hearts. ”

"It allows us to be brave and strong in the face of any challenge. ”

Xiao Xiao pressed his notebook and looked at the starry sky above his head, a little distracted.

"Sounds complicated......" Zheng Qing looked at the big doctor blankly, feeling that he seemed to have talked about a very serious topic just now.

Unclear.

Poseidon finally seemed to be unable to stand Xiao Xiao's noise, so he lazily got up from Zheng Qing's arms, jumped along his shoulder, and jumped into Li Meng's arms.

The little witch was overjoyed, threw away her pigeon, and happily helped the little fox to comb her long hair.

The pigeon Xiaobai cooed angrily and flew to Jiang Yu's shoulder angrily.

"Take the white dings of the mundane world. Xiao Xiao frowned, trying to explain with an example that Zheng Qing could understand.

But Zheng Qing's focus is obviously a little off: "Do you still know that Bai Ding is a thing?"

"Those who believe in authority," Xiao Xiao glared at him, emphasizing, "It's not that they are disgusted with freedom, but that authority can bring a sense of security more effectively...... And those societies that are organized by the bond of contract, and the contract that people believe in, can also bring them a sense of security. ”

"For example, in our academy, exams can be convincing...... And at Alpha College, genealogy is clearly more convincing. Zheng Qing immediately drew inferences.

"Very accurate. Xiao Xiao was obviously very happy that someone had discussed this topic with him: "From the family and the academy to the country and society, these principles are actually the same. ”

"Whether it's the old family, the new power, or our school, people stick to the rules, not because they appreciate the complicated and gorgeous appearance, but because of the sense of security behind them. ”

"Uh-huh, very right, very right. Zheng Qing was perfunctory, and his mind had already turned with a new figure in the center of the hall.

"They're not from our school. The classmates next to him exchanged heads and whispered to each other.

A tall, thin wizard walked through the white mist into the center of the first hall.

Behind him, followed by a chubby, somewhat familiar figure of Zheng Qing.

The young public scholarship student couldn't help but squint.
