Chapter 59: Interpretation
601 East of the Teaching Building, Charms Classroom.
The classroom door was closed, insulating the chill from the outside.
The north wind whistled through the window, crackling the glass window, just like the mood of the young wizards in the classroom.
The elf in gray uniform dragged a pot of hot tea, slid off the ceiling, flapped its wings, and landed on the lectern, silently helping the professor fill the glass.
Lao Yao picked up the cup, took a sip, and sighed contentedly.
"The tea in the classroom tastes right. The professor rubbed the teacup in his hand, paced unhurriedly on the podium, and muttered to everyone: "I am used to staying in school, and I am not used to going to other places...... I feel like drinking water doesn't taste right. β
In the hall, the young wizards of the Astronomy 08-1 class finally restrained their sadness, opened their eyes wide, and exchanged glances with each other. The message in Professor Yao's words piqued everyone's interest.
Where is the 'other place'? What did the professors do? Listen to the meaning of Lao Yao's words, he has recently left the school? Are the other professors not at the school either?
"Old Yao ......" Li Meng took the lead in raising her short arm and shouted in a low voice - the entire astronomy 08-1 class, or the entire Jiuyou College, or even the entire First University, maybe only this little girl dares to ask questions to the professor in class in this tone.
Professor Yao raised his hand, pressed it with a smile, and motioned for the little witch to lower her arm.
"Don't rush, don't rush, I know what questions you want to ask. The professor obviously guessed everyone's concern, and said in a relaxed tone: "However, according to my custom, I have to ask a question before answering the question......
"When did he have this routine......" Zheng Qing couldn't help but turn his head to look at Xiao Xiao and complained in a low voice. But as soon as he said that, he regretted itβbecause when he turned around, he happened to see Professor Yao's small sparkling eyes.
"Zheng Qing!" The professor shouted angrily: "Our Merlin Medal winner, a public scholarship student of Jiuyou Academy, sounds like you have a bit of a desire to speak......
The eyes of the others in the classroom turned back in unison, looking at the young scholarship student with pity in their eyes.
Zheng Qing stood up with a sad face, and stopped talking.
Now that Lao Yao has lifted him up, there is definitely no way to sit down in peace without saying a word, so let's just listen to what his problem is first - fortunately, everyone is an adult, so they will not use the method of standing in the corner and calling parents to deal with internal conflicts in the classroom.
"What do you know about the resurgence of silence. "Unexpectedly, Lao Yao's question is very simple, and even Zheng Qing, who has just entered the wizarding world for more than two months, has a certain understanding of this problem.
Hearing Lao Yao's question, Zheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to the effects that Dr. Xiao had heard from Dr. Douzem of the Institute of Anomalous Biology about this natural phenomenon.
"The return of silence is a unique natural phenomenon on the island of Phuket. β
"Every year in late winter and early spring, around the time of the Forbidden Demon Festival, when the Soul Returning Yang spits out its first shoots, the fat and strong rays that have been raised in the deep sea will swim up the wide and calm Silent River all the way up to the depths of the Silent Forest. β
"The monsters of the Silent Forest, who have slept all winter, are already hungry and waiting on the banks of the Silent River to hunt the migratory fish...... From downstream, to upstream, for almost a month, the Silent River was dark red. β
"Because this phenomenon occurs in the Silent Forest, and the fish return like a tidal wave, it is called 'silent return'...... There is also a saying that because the Wenchang fish cannot speak, it can only migrate silently, so it is called silent resurgence. β
After explaining, Zheng Qing looked at the professor hesitantly, not knowing if he could sit down now.
"Very good, very good!" Lao Yao put down the teacup in his hand, slapped his face a few times, and praised again and again: "If it weren't for my research on Transfiguration, I would almost think that you and Xiao Xiao had changed identities......
The joke wasn't funny at all.
Zheng Qing tugged at the corners of his mouth, and took care of the face of the beetle's head on the podium.
However, although the explanation is clearer, there is no credit award. Lao Yao waved his hand and motioned for Zheng Qing to sit down, while turning his head to look at the others: "Everyone knows that this year's silent return came much earlier than in previous years, what do you think is the impact of this matter?"
Everyone in the hall looked at each other, but no one spoke.
"It doesn't matter, you can speak freely...... If you're not sure, try divination and see what you can figure out. Lao Yao looked at everyone encouragingly, as if he didn't care that his time in the spell class had been wasted a lot.
As soon as the professor's voice ended, there was a small commotion in the classroom.
Crystal balls, tarot cards, arithmetic chips, yarrow, tortoise shells, copper coins, etc., all kinds of divination tools appeared one after another, and were taken out of their bags by the students, frowning one by one, and quickly calculating on the scratch paper.
"Don't go through the process, it's too cumbersome, we don't have that much time. β
"Don't want data either...... You can use your own data to calculate, but you don't have to tell your data. Although I don't want to hit you, I don't think your data has much reference to reality. Of course, as a trend calculation, it is barely enough. β
"The first one to give a valid answer will be rewarded with one credit ......"
Before Lao Yao's words fell, Xiao Xiao, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom, stood up with a smile. Just a few seconds slower than him, Yelena raised her arm as well.
Zheng Qing bit the barrel of the pen, squinted his eyes, looked at Dr. Xiao's side, and thought about whether to poke his waist or his legs.
Xiao Xiao quietly moved a few steps towards the window, avoiding the possible attack range of Zheng Qing's pen.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Xiao has already stood up. Lao Yao shouted, and at the same time nodded at Yelena: "There is also Qiong...... Hmm, which of you will come first?"
There was a lament in the classroom β sometimes the world is so unfair.
Xiao Xiao lifted his glasses, heard a faint threatening voice beside him, and finally sighed: "Lady first, let Yelena come first, professor." β
"No, Professor. Xiao Xiao is faster than me...... And he's already on his feet. Yelena rejected Xiao Xiao's humility, and half-jokingly pointed to Xiao Xiao's current state.
Lao Yao crossed his arms, his gaze swept back and forth between the two soothsayers a few times, and finally nodded to the doctor: "Then Xiao Xiao, according to my request, he is the fastest." β
In the back row of the classroom, Zheng Qing sighed in disappointment.
He turned his head and looked at the corner on the other side, where Elena had lowered her head again and began to put away the tarot cards in her hand.
