From the second day, everyone was back on track. Except for the awkward feeling inside the silverbearded dwarves, the others lived a regular, or somewhat monotonous, life.

Someone's math class has been open for three days, but fortunately there is Fen to substitute for him. With her level, of course, she will bombard an entire class to scum, and her mouth will make the whole class scum, and she will crush all the magicians in the class to scum at the same time with her hard strength. In short, the suppression of all aspects, no one dares to put forward any opinions on the former Demon King.

Lin's return relieved the magicians, the great magicians, and some people who had no magical talent, but their intelligence was not lost to the mage at all. Listening to the Lich's math lessons, it was too much pressure for them.

This is because mathematics is not like other disciplines, where there is a space for ambiguity between right and wrong, and mathematical right and wrong are quite clear. This also caused Fen, who teaches math, to unceremoniously spew trash talk in the face of the mistakes made by others.

Although there is still a distance from the vulgar humiliation, there are not many Dharma masters who can endure it. Compared to someone's attitude in class, although some words are not heard, it is simply gentle and graceful, and everyone can't help but miss it.

After returning to normal teaching, the progress of the mathematics and life course is progressing in an orderly manner.

Fen, who teaches life lessons, of course, continues to instruct a group of people who are happily observing the microcosm. Instruct them on how to record more effectively, and gather the efforts of everyone to explore the microbial world, which is still largely unknown.

As for the course of mathematics, although it is calm in the classroom, the person who teaches it is only at his own pace, step by step, imparts what he knows about this subject. But in fact, off the table, the discussion about mathematics is turbulent.

However, anyone who has not really set foot in the top academic circles of the holy city of Estali is actually not interested in it, and does not know that there is such a thing, and of course does not know how much controversy mathematics has caused. Because most of the troubles were stopped by the great magician Kabanbai and the magicians who came here to study.

The magicians who come to the math course regularly are present in academic circles at all levels. Purely in terms of those who are famous and powerful, their combined strength accounts for about one-third of Estali's top academic circles. When this kind of energy moves, there is no doubt that it is earth-shattering.

This also means that two-thirds of them are on a different side. Although these people are not necessarily united, when things do not always have a satisfactory outcome, and their own interests are concerned, they tend to unite and exert pressure.

It's like one day at the end of the summer, after the class, the great magician Kabambi left behind the forest. I came to the teacher's lounge in the math building and made an invitation official.

"So, there's a dinner I can't refuse to attend?" Lin asked.

I don't know if it's because of the heat or because of the lack of heart, the great magician Kabanbai wiped his sweat and said, "The statement of 'unable to refuse' may be a bit excessive, but if Your Excellency attends, it will be beneficial to the future development in the Holy City." ”

"Well, can I ask who is attending this dinner?"

"In the Holy City, the heads of all the houses are present, and some elders are also invited. Of course, I will also participate. And some of the magicians you know, who are in math class, will also be in attendance. Including ......" Kabanbai reported a list of names.

These people are regular students in math class, so Lin also has an impression of them. What they all have in common is that they have very white beards and are a lot older. In terms of the status of the rivers and lakes, there will be the kind of younger brother who is surrounded before and after when traveling.

And the elders in the mouth of the great magician refer to the magicians who are very old, strong, and status. It's a kind of honorific title used in private.,It's not enough to be a title just because you're old.。

"It feels like a Hongmen feast." Lin muttered to himself.

"Hongmen Banquet? What is that? ”

Too lazy to explain too much to people with different cultures, Lin asked again: "Then what is the theme of this banquet, Your Excellency the Dean of the Academy can always reveal it." ”

Unlike the banquets of the nobles, which were purely to pass the time and cultivate relationships, the banquets held by the magicians in the Holy City had a clear purpose. According to someone's understanding, it can be called a 'seminar with food and drink', but in fact it is not a problem to call it a 'fighting arena'. If you don't agree with each other, it's just commonplace.

It can't be helped, who's called the magic of the maze is like this. No matter how much there is a war of words, in the end it is strength that speaks.

Therefore, it is important to ask what the theme of the magician's banquet is. House

The Great Magician Kabanbay smiled bitterly and said, "It's for the mathematics that Your Excellency has been teaching for the past few months. ”

Someone was stunned for a moment, and the great magician Kabanbai explained what had happened in the past three months.

First of all, Jean Murat, who previously accused Lin of stealing his family's knowledge, actually owns an ancient book related to mathematics. That's why there are people who support them to do that kind of thing.

Although they were trampled on by someone in the end, coupled with the efforts of other bigwigs, those cannon fodder-like birds all ate the dirt. However, this matter is not over, and the battle between the bigwigs is still around that ancient book, and it didn't stop until a while ago.

The magicians who supported Lin obtained the manuscript of the ancient document through some unspeakable channels. When I opened it, everyone laughed. Not only is the language in the book different from the math that someone teaches, but there are even a few fallacies that are basically logical mistakes that people who listen carefully to math classes do not make. Just grasping these points, everyone started a fight with those bigwigs who were looking for trouble.

But the real reason for those bigwigs to give up and continue arguing is because someone's math class is out of the scope of that ancient book. In the past, it was possible to attack the legitimacy of someone teaching mathematics with similar knowledge and doubtful sources.

But when what is said is no longer limited to the knowledge found in ancient texts, such a statement is untenable. Therefore, the bigwigs who have ideas about mathematical knowledge can only find another way.

Secondly, how should the discipline of 'mathematics' be positioned?

What makes magicians so entangled is because math is not magic! Not only does it have nothing to do with magic, as long as a normal person with a clear mind, the most basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division can still be understood, and it can be applied in life.

Of course, if someone surrenders this knowledge to the Wizards' Guild according to normal procedures, the Guild has a reason to intervene. But the person who came out to find trouble at the beginning made a faint move. It was the clerk in charge of the association's knowledge review business who rejected someone's application to hand in mathematics on the grounds that 'mathematics has nothing to do with magic', and only accepted other magical knowledge to be reviewed.

Their original intention was to make it impossible to determine the name of the creator of mathematics, and there was room for others to do something from it. Who knew that the whole plan was disrupted later, and that knowledge became a hot potato that no one could touch. Because, there really is no one who knows more than that one!

The academic ethos in the Holy City has a long history. It is also heard from time to time that the two parties who do not deal with each other have used various methods to obstruct, steal, and preemptively publish disputes over the topics that the other side tackles; It is not unheard of to seize the fruits of others. But at the end of the day, there is still a conventional rule.

The winner is the one who turns it over to the association first. But it's not just a title or a magical name that you can hand in. At this time, the undertaker responsible for the audit is quite important. whether the magic knowledge surrendered is complete; If someone casts a spell according to the steps, can they use the effect of the magic correctly. If something is mutilated, then why ask the association to include it?

If there is a case that is accused of preemption, the party with deep understanding will be the winner. After all, for the person who claims to have the knowledge of magic, the result is that he is not even familiar with the use, how can this situation convince others.

Of course, rules are dead, people are alive, and there will always be some shady transactions under the table. But on the table, at least you have to be able to convince the public, which can be said to be in the past.

However, the dilemma that mathematics has faced for those who have a heart has never been encountered before. Even if you take possession of the mathematical knowledge that has been semi-public, that is, that you have completed the teaching, as a result, people are still throwing out new knowledge over there, and you can only turn it in to the association slowly, and claim that it is your own research results...... It's a pig who knows what's behind it!

You also need to know how to wipe your mouth when you steal food. This is the most basic requirement of magicians for dirty academic disputes.

The most important point! It is absolutely forbidden to openly snatch the achievements of others. Today, we have a blind and closed attitude towards others who openly seize the fruits of others, and do not help the injured party; So when it comes to grabbing your head tomorrow, will anyone help you?

In addition, if such an overt robbery is allowed, and it is allowed once, will there be a second or third time? In the end, did everyone become reluctant to disclose their results because they were wary of others? Then wouldn't the efforts of the Magicians Association over the centuries and the mutual trust and system that had been established with great difficulty be ruined?

So this is a red line that cannot be touched, and whoever touches it will die. The association has a bunch of Ombudsmen, but it's not just for them to be powerful outside. Among magicians, there is no talk of a suspended death sentence or a prison sentence, once you do it, you will kill the whole family, and there is no politeness or false mercy.

And in the matter of mathematics, what makes people vomit blood especially is that someone who is upright just doesn't try to hand in relevant knowledge. According to the clerk who was assigned, someone gave him a whole set of knowledge! The paper alone is a thick pile. Just because the person in charge of the undertaker, someone above explained, and he couldn't understand it from beginning to end, so he called back the ticket.

Nowadays, the only legal source of mathematical knowledge in the Holy City is to go to the Kabanbay Academy, get the lecture notes that the lesson is placed on the forum, and the password is set to view the handouts. And that's all there is to the content of the lesson.

In this year's Fandi Forum, paid things have been moved to the public area, and people who still claim to be heroes have not yet appeared. Of course, this is also related to the fact that everyone logs in with their real names, and there is a forum atmosphere of real PK from time to time.

The current situation is simply that people who don't come to math class, can't keep up with the progress, and want to pick up cheap people can't sit still.
