The truth is exactly what was guessed. The scars caused by the fire to the Faculty of Medicine of Tunling University did not heal within a few months, but instead had a tendency to become infected and suppurated, and it did not heal.

After taking the delegation to the banquet hall, Professor Samuel exchanged pleasantries with the professors and lecturers before leaving the table under the pretext that he was busy with business. Even Kraft, who is the main student of technical communication, has received only a small amount of additional attention.

He symbolically praised the new academic group for its fruitful achievements and the youthful nature of its incumbents, and the occasional wandering glance showed that there was something more worthy of the investment than the spectacle to be addressed.

"Considering that you have just arrived in Tunlin and are tired from the journey, the agenda of the next few days will be as much rest as possible." He explains.

[Didn't have time to arrange]

"We welcome free exchanges and discussions on academic issues, especially in the areas of medical treatment, drug properties, and pathological research. But be sure to stay within the boundaries of how the research is conducted in a way that is not controversial. ”

[Surgery is not included anyway]

In short, the schedule is not scheduled, and the trial court is inspected at two ends for three days, everyone can only converge, and some gray areas cannot be done.

Professor Lyndon interrupted with a dry cough and signaled that he needed to speak: "There is a question that is more important, and your answer may determine what we will do for a long time to come. ”

"Please."

"I haven't been to Dunlin for years, but are those places worth sightseeing now? If it doesn't change, I'll just take the students with me. ”

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and some people, including Dunling's side, laughed. Laughing and cheering, Lyndon pushed away his chair and left with the students, taking the reddest apple from the fruit basket on the table before leaving.

Kraft hesitated, feeling that he had nothing to do here, and got up and left the table, pretending to be a member of the surgical society and sneaking out of the room.

However, instead of going straight to the attraction as he had said, Lyndon found a staircase and prepared to go up, "I'm going to meet my old friend first." Let's disperse first, it's rare to come to Dunling, where you want to go, you don't have to follow me, just remember to come back before dinner. ”

The students, who had been unable to sit still for a long time, were promised to leave one after another. As a member of the Surgical Society, the students had never thought of learning anything in the constrained Dun Ling, since there was no arrangement at the moment, and the professor was willing to give them a half-day vacation to play freely, it would be better to quickly forward to the publicly-funded travel link.

The crowd dispersed, revealing the three members of the Tuberculosis and Rare Disease Society who followed behind. Kraft stretched out his hands: "I don't think there's anything to stay over there, do you mind taking us with you on a tour later?" ”

"Before that, would you like to walk around the academy first?"

"It couldn't be better."

Probably in a remote location, they did not encounter the teachers and students of the academy or interrogated them, and walked straight up the stairs to the fourth floor of the corridor.

The classic simple structure, one side of the corridor is a room arranged and expanded, judging by the size should be for teaching experiments, and no one enters or leaves at the moment.

On the other side, the window overlooks the garden surrounded by buildings, and from this downward, the pruned tree towers and balls form a small and delicate landscape, which is related and symmetrical to each other, and the whole is in the shape of large concentric circles.

Professor Linden paused for a moment to determine the direction, and walked to the side with a clear purpose. It was near the middle of the main building, where the dome was.

A door blocking the hallway blocked his way, and he tried to grab the handle to push it, and a heavy piece of metal shook and thumped from behind the heavy door.

"It's locked, and your own people are also guarded?"

"You've been here before?" The so-called visiting old friends have come here. This routine of bypassing the main entrance and taking the small staircase to the top floor is so skillful that it is not like a way that non-locals can touch.

Unwillingly, Lin Deng was sure that he didn't remember the wrong direction of opening the door, "Someone used to take me across this road, and I could go up around the big spiral ladder in the middle, and use it when the dome was not open to the public. ”

"Going to experiment?" It's hard to understand what a member of Rivers is doing sneaking in on a closed day in the medical school lab in Dunling.

"It's not like that, it's just sightseeing." Lyndon leaned against the door, his eyes a little nostalgic, "I may not remember other places, but here is different, I am impressed." If you're familiar with local students, they'll tell you about it, and it's rumored that this is where the book "The Anatomy of the Human Body" was written. ”

"Really?" Kraft developed a bit of a secret sense of superiority. According to the manuscript of the Chapel in the Woods, it is highly likely that Edward's final book was not written in the university, but on the top floor of a church bell tower.

It's very interesting to stumble upon some historical secrets, especially when you see that everyone is misled by so-called "credible rumors". It's a pity that this secret can only be buried in the stomach.

"Really, it's a shame that there are still some things that may have been from the Edwardian era, and they are all ruined. Hundreds of years later, we could have pointed to those things and told future generations that Edward had observed the dissection on this table."

He made a gesture of his fingers, imagining the scene, "By the way, I didn't say I forgot, remember to save the earliest set of ether bottles." ”

After sighing for a while, Lyndon put away his emotions and gave up the idea of finding a path to the Dome Laboratory after telling Kraft to save his current equipment.

"It seems that we can't get in today, are we interested in going somewhere else? It's been a long time, but it's not a place where things change a lot. ”

Kraft looked out the window, and behind the white stone roof, a tall, thin spire of gray and black proclaimed a ubiquitous presence, and the distant bells trembled, causing a chain reaction that echoed the sound of different metal taps near and far.

"How many bell towers are there in Dunling?"

"This stumps me, why don't you ask how many stars there are in the sky, or how many bones people have?"

"206 blocks."

"Correct, but the premise is 'normal adults in general', and there will be exceptions for children and some special cases." Lyndon looked at the person who answered in a little surprise, it was the male attendant from Kraft, "This is your student?" I'm sorry, I always thought it was your entourage. ”

"It's always good to learn more."

"That's right." Rivers' professor of surgery nodded, "Dunling's bell tower is not necessarily less than a bone, and you can't finish shopping in an afternoon, but the most famous one is one, and you can go to the nearby Knight Island after shopping, and come back in the evening just in time for dinner." ”

"Our Lady's Cathedral, the tallest bell tower in Quantun Spirit, is here, and that's what we just saw on the boat." Linden stepped out of the carriage provided by the college and looked up at the building that cast shadows.

At close range, the sense of massive architectural oppression is magnified exponentially by the deliberately designed tall figure. It is also at this distance that we can observe some of the preserved natural colors of the folds of the multi-layered progressive structure, which are made of light-colored stone similar to that of the academy, which has been deposited by a long history into the solemn hue of today, which is diametrically opposed to today.

This color deepening is naturally integrated into the façade design of the building, unintentionally or unexpectedly deepening the concave and convex layers, forming a constant light and dark color difference in addition to changing light and shadow. In the layered three-dimensional structure of marble and alabaster, narrative reliefs are added to the recessed half-moon arches.

The sculptures are mostly in a standing posture, showing an upward momentum in line with the architectural form, reflecting a sense of soaring and ascending, converging and condensing in the spire of the angel's wings, pointing directly to the sky as if it were within reach.

The most distinctive feature is the female portrait with a long body and a slight bow, holding the fabric with both hands and softly depicting a real swaddling cloth, high under the wing ring, only the crook of the arm can be seen.

"I have to admit that the aesthetics of these people are still fine, and it will be more beautiful if they can climb the bell tower." In the shadow of the Father and the Virgin, no matter how ungodly they are, they have to whisper in the face of the Inquisition.

"By the way, is there a hunchbacked bell ringer in this church bell tower?" Kraft asked on a whim.

"How do you know?" Lyndon glanced at Kraft suspiciously, not understanding where he got his travel guide, which was not like something that an outsider who had not been to the country would know.

"There is a story that I don't know if it's true or not, it's a long time ago, and it's only circulated locally. Legend has it that he was left behind at the door of the church, raised by a priest, born deformed and ugly but kind-hearted, married a wife who was famous for her beauty, completed the wedding with the blessing of his adoptive father, and died happily. ”

"Huh?"

"Questions? Why do I feel like you're surprised? ”

"It's a surprise, but I love the story, thank you." Kraft leaned back and laughed, not explaining to the three of them the fun he couldn't share, "Don't worry about me, everyone has a unique joke, doesn't it?" ”
