Chapter 33: No One Wants to Take Anything from Me
The shrill scream made Rolley rub his ears.
"Mr. Joel, I think you are really a bit condescending to teach in the academy, have you ever thought of applying for a job at the Glenia Grand Theater? I've heard that there is a shortage of tenors there. ”
Joel was slightly stunned, and said with some regret: "Although I do think that I am indeed more talented in singing than teaching and educating people, but it is a pity that the people there have no eyes, and even say that I am good for nothing except my vocal range, and I can't even find the key, and I was given a failing grade when grading....... Wrong. ”
Realizing that the topic was a little off-topic, Joel quickly coughed dryly.
He pointed to the flower on Rolley's hand: "Tell me, how did you get it out?" ”
Rolley tilted his head, and his gaze fell on the girl's fair cheeks.
"I saw it in a book, and I found where it was, and with a gentle pull, I went back the way I came," Gray said honestly. ”
"That's it?"
"That's all."
"The goddess is above,"
Joel slapped himself on the door, looked up at the sky, and after a long sigh, looked at Rolley.
"That's amazing, you guys....... Do you know what it is? ”
Rolley: "I don't know. ”
Card: "I don't know. ”
Grey: "A very beautiful flower. ”
Joel: "......."
No, are you really students? How is it different from what I've seen in class?
Even if people really don't know, they will nod their heads and pretend to know and wait for me to answer, why don't you little cubs look like students at all?
Sighing again, Joel said, "Do you know about the Lost Lands?" ”
Without waiting for them to answer, he immediately replied to himself, having already learned his lesson, "It's a very special area in the dungeon. ”
"You should know what a dungeon is, right?"
"Actually, the dungeon is not literal, a city located underground, but a ........"
"Mr. Joel." Luo Lai interrupted him suddenly, "Can you tell me what class you teach?" ”
Joel was slightly stunned, but still answered his question: "Higher Magic Theory, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that I decided that I must take this course of yours in the future, your skills and its profundity will definitely cure my insomnia well."
Joel: "......."
"Teacher." Kade said with a little emotion, "Telling a story starts from the beginning, if you are the author of the novel, you will definitely be scolded by us readers." ”
Grey was also thoughtful: "No wonder my mother always said that you look like an old man when you are young next year, think about it, it is said that only old things in human beings who have little time will always babble and want to spit out all the unfinished words in life." ”
"You ......," Joel felt like he had been stabbed in the heart several times.
"Ugh." With a long sigh, he hugged his broken heart, and lowered his voice a few degrees sadly, "In short, the origin of this flower is legendary. ”
"The Lost Land is the most special space in the 'Glenia Dungeon' beneath our feet, apart from the new areas that have yet to be explored."
"It's not like most other spaces where there are a large number of special and powerful monsters, but that doesn't mean it's not dangerous, because after a long time of investigation and analysis, we can almost think that this entire space is a monster."
"Monsters originate from magic, and the characteristics of magic are diverse, so that many of the monsters they breed have magical characteristics."
"For example, the "Lost Land" has the property of allowing people who go deep into it to fall into an illusion that cannot distinguish between the unreal and the real."
Hearing this, Rowley felt that this setting was a little familiar: "Can it capture the vulnerability of people's hearts and then forge all kinds of fantasies to confuse people?" ”
"What do you think?" Joel glanced at him, "If that's the case, then the academy can still set this as a second-level secret space that second-year students can explore?" It's been sealed up a long time ago! ”
"Most of the illusions it creates are things it has experienced, and then uses its own characteristics to manifest them in order to drive away other invaders........ But not many people are willing to invade it. ”
"The absence of monsters in it means that it can't provide us with materials, and no materials are worthless, except for some young couples or tired people who rarely go there."
"According to records, there are more than 600 different illusions in the Lost Land, ranging from tsunami disasters to spring flowers, and if you are lucky, you may be able to see scenery that you can't see now, and it's quite relaxing to look at it in your spare time."
"So......." concluded Rowlai, "the so-called 'Lost Land' is special, but it's actually a useless place, isn't it?" ”
He raised the flower in his hand: "What does that have to do with it?" ”
"There's a relationship, it's a big deal." Joel's face became more serious, "Since the discovery of the Lost Lands, there has never been a shortage of people who want to delve into its magic, such as the dean of the 48th Academy, or the well-known "Jade Ranger" among the people, but the most famous person in history to explore the "Lost Lands" has to be the Golden King. ”
"As they explored, they all found the flower, and they all tried to pull it out and bring it back with them - because it was the only thing in the Lost Lands that had a physical existence."
"And then?" Card leaned over with great interest and asked, "Have they all failed?" ”
"No, it worked, otherwise we wouldn't know what it looked like." "But when it worked, they put it back." ”
Because this is the foundation of the Lost Land? Pull it out of the "Lost Land" and it will perish? This speculation was made by Rolley.
However, Joel still shook his head: "I can't say yes, because it has not been specifically verified, as for why they put it back, according to the specific reasons recorded in the history books, the answer is outrageous." ”
"The Legend of the Golden King" reads: "The king said: It is beautiful, but I cannot possess it, it has nothing to do with whether my current strength is strong or not, or whether the consequences are serious, but I am not qualified." ”
"Not qualified." Joel repeated these words earnestly, "Even the great king said that he could not possess it for this reason, and you think of it, what will happen if you take it?" ”
Rolley raised his eyebrows and did not speak.
"Alright, alright." Joel beckoned, "Grey, put it back quickly, if something really goes wrong, I'm afraid the teacher may not be able to give you a cover......."
"Wait a minute, Mr. Joel." Luo Lai gently tossed the flower in his hand, "I don't think it's useful for you to tell her, because it's mine now." ”
Joel urged: "Okay, okay, yours, whoever it is, just put it back quickly." ”
"Don't let go."
Rolley's answer was so crisp that Joel heard it "good" behind his ears, and the compliments almost came out of his mouth.
"You .......," Joel's face gradually became more serious, "Ziegler-san, although I really can't force you to do something, I still want you to know what the consequences of this behavior will bring you. ”
"So, what are the consequences?" Rolley asked.
“.......”
Joel's tense seriousness almost collapsed.
No, can you give me some face as a teacher?
Am I doing this for your own good, am I easy?
Taking a deep breath, Joel spoke again.
"Although, although I don't know what the consequences will be, but ......."
"No need, teacher." Luo Lai said lightly, "When it comes to what I have in my hands, I won't throw it out so easily." ”
"I don't know what other people think of me doing this, and I don't want to pay attention to other people's opinions, I just know that this is the reason why I want to be stronger."
After a pause, he whispered.
"I'm trying to grow and improve, not to shout 'I've lost something, I'm going to get it back with my own hands one day.'"
"What I want is, never, never lost."
"Whoever it is, don't try to steal me and what is around me."
He gritted his teeth and said hard.
"Who, all, don't, think!"
The world fell silent suddenly, and Joel opened his mouth but couldn't speak, only staring at the young man's deep brown eyes in a daze.
In this era of peace and cowardice, he could hardly hear the voice of a tiger.
The sound was so deafening that the souls of all the cowardly were destined to be torn apart and crushed by the fangs of the king of beasts.
