308. The first lesson of the Twist Department
[Manifestation]? It's from [Projection], right? It seems that Professor Hazled, like me, is also a combination of [distorted] and [manifested]?
Sure enough, this combination is not my maverick alone!
It just so happens that you can also ask him some questions about [embodiment] in the future, killing two birds with one stone!
Lloyd's heart suddenly swelled up with an inexplicable confidence, and he hurriedly packed up these tables, chairs and benches that he 'had legs' on, arranged them into an overly spacious desk, and then did it properly, and reached out to rub the surface of the desk, and tried the feel.
One thing to say, although it is a bit old, it is extraordinarily real, and even the 'weathered' texture has been restored.
"Your [projection] is so amazing, it's so real."
Lloyd couldn't help but pout.
As a result, I heard the professor explain:
"No, it's not [projection], they are real, and it is I who have given it a simple, short life with the power of [embodiment]."
"Ah??? Can it still be like this? β
"Of course, [Manifestation] is a very magical system, especially when combined with [Distortion], it can achieve many 'miracles' in the eyes of the world...... If you are interested in this aspect, I can teach you slowly. β
Professor Hazleder spoke, and motioned for Lloyd to shed a little inspiration.
When Lloyd did so, he sensed an invisible figure in the air, condensed by a magical force.
This technique is consistent with the usual means of 'childhood sweethearts', but it is not as cordial and gentle as hers, but it looks particularly majestic, but it does not lose the feeling of kindness.
Lloyd remembered that Hiltina was also a proud disciple of the professor, and this was really some kind of skill in the same vein?
Then Professor Hazleder spoke again:
"Okay, you relax, don't be nervous, don't be cranky, I'll look at your current state, you can rest assured, I won't spy on your thinking and memory."
Lloyd quickly shook his head vigorously, throwing out the messy thoughts in his head.
Then he felt a gaze fall on him through the gray canopy above him.
This scene inevitably made Lloyd feel dΓ©jΓ vu again-
At the beginning, the 'childhood sweetheart' also looked at himself like this, and his eyes were also soft, without the slightest hostility and that sense of oppression.
Even the surroundings are pretty much the same......
This is really a 'teacher out of the same school'......
After a few seconds, the gaze vanished, and Professor Hartsleder pondered for a few minutes before he spoke:
"Your mental state is much healthier than I expected, even your life form is the same as that of a normal human, but you have quite a good transcendent attribute, it's really incredible, it's like a ......"
At this point, the professor paused, seemingly hesitant to continue.
But his tone didn't sound very surprised, but it wasn't as surprised as the two so-called experts Wei Ya had found, as if he had come into contact with more than one figure like Lloyd.
Considering that this is a brilliant Mizkatok, Lloyd is not surprised, he does not dare to underestimate the heroes of the world now.
It's just what the professor wants to say later? How can you say that half of it is gone?
Lloyd was naturally a little curious in his heart, so he took the initiative to ask in a humble tone:
"Like a once-in-a-century peerless genius?"
Professor Hazleder couldn't help but pause......
After a few seconds, he said in that tone of crying and laughing:
"You little guy is really ...... When Hiltina mentioned you to me, she only said that you are hardworking, talented, and righteous, and hope that I will take care of you more, but did she not say that you kid will get carried away?
I don't even know if you're too proud or too humble......
Never mind...... Strictly speaking, just the description of 'once in a hundred years' and 'peerless genius' is obviously not enough to describe your state, and like you, it reminds me of those [brilliant gold] in the past."
"Huh? What is that? β
"It is the name of some of the top powerhouses of that glorious era in the past, describing them as bright and dazzling as gold."
"Wow? Thank you for giving me such a high rating, and I will try to fulfill my talent! β
"Haha, Hiltina is also like you, she likes this title very much, so she named the city she sheltered 'Bright', probably hoping that a new era of [Bright Gold] could be born from here, right?"
Professor Hazleder was still talking with a slight smile, but suddenly the conversation changed, and his tone became low and serious:
"However, I don't quite agree with her idea, although I will not interfere and stop her, but I still think that this idea is too bold and crazy, which is a rare contradiction between our teachers and students......
I've always believed that the new age of humanity should not dwell on the past that has ended, and that we should find a new direction for ourselves, so in Mizkatok, the guy I hate the most is not Lawrence, but the barbarians of the ancient magic department. β
After listening to this, Lloyd briefly digested the amount of information in it, and hurriedly asked:
"Huh? Wasn't that glorious era bad? Although I don't know much about it, the human race at that time still achieved quite amazing achievements, right? And it also occupies a wider living space than it does today, and controls more resources. β
The professor was silent for a moment, seemingly hesitant to continue the conversation.
He hesitated for a full ten minutes before he spoke:
"Hmm...... This question is a bit complicated, it involves the history of the past, and it will take a lot of time to explain, so I'll just talk to you casually -
Those who are called "Brilliant Gold" are also called "madmen" or "blasphemers" by some historians today......
There are quite a few historians who believe that the coming of the apocalypse, or the appearance of spiritual pollution and monsters, is caused by some dangerous actions made by these powerful people, and even some more radical views believe that they destroyed that glorious era.
The main argument supporting their view is that none of these strong people who stood at the pinnacle of the apex of all mankind survived the apocalypse, and all of them fell or disappeared just after the catastrophe, behaving less than those who were weaker than them, or even outlived ordinary people......
Of course, there are also some people who oppose it, such as the familiar Hiltina who believes that these powerful people are likely to have been attacked by some kind of higher level or even higher dimension, and it is their sacrifice that has won a glimmer of life for humanity in the apocalypse.
Hehe, as for me, I have reservations about both views, I hate these histories the most. β
At this point, Professor Hazleder fell silent, waiting for Lloyd to digest the amount of information.
How can there be such a thing?
When the end came, all the top powerhouses of mankind were reimbursed?
It's too exaggerated, it's too miserable, isn't it?
Lloyd's eyes widened as if he had heard some earth-shattering news.
So, who killed this batch of top [Brilliant Gold]?
He was curious about this question, and then suddenly he felt a 'drumming' movement in his head.
The reason why I didn't 'strike the gong' was because my inspiration was still quiet and I didn't react to it, but it was an unusually exciting feeling on the side of my strange intuition, reminding me that I was going to have a banquet if I wanted to go on again, and I wanted to jump on my grave immediately.
This kind of counterintuitive situation Lloyd remembers having happened once before.
That time it seemed to be ...... What I met when I played with those ancient shield devices that Lao Zhan sent?
So when it comes to these historical issues, inspiration doesn't have any dangerous reactions, just weird intuition singing a one-man show?
Is there such a disagreement because that strange intuition was awakened when I obtained the Book of Truth, and was influenced by the Book of Truth?
Lloyd felt that all kinds of complicated and hidden and dangerous problems had become more and more, but he could not grasp any clues.
I wanted to ask Professor Hazleder about it, but I heard the other party take the initiative to ask:
"What about you? What do you think of these two views? Don't think about it, tell me an answer based on your own intuition. β
Lloyd was slightly stunned, and then gave an answer based on intuition:
"I don't know ......"
"Haha! Very good! In my opinion, this is the best answer. β
"Uh...... All right...... So you use me to compare it with these top powerhouses of the old era......"
The professor's formless body shook his head and explained in a serious tone:
"It's nothing, I just want to tell you that although it is rare to see such an excellent top genius as you in the long history, it is not unique, and their final ending can also be said to be undignified......
We humans are still too small after all......
But even so, when we look up at the starry sky, we should not feel humble because we are small.
This is also the first lesson I want to teach you, or talk to you, that I hope that no matter what your situation is in the future, you will not give up your self-identity as a human being, which is very important. β
This was the second time Lloyd had heard someone say that to him.
Last time, it was Mr. Butler.
Or the third, and the sooner, it should have come from his own big brother, who gave himself the first admonition on the example of a certain insistence of the disgraceful traitor Mizkatok, the demented adviser Esquimir.
Although I don't know why these bigwigs have such concerns, it seems that this is indeed a very important thing, right?
Lloyd nodded vigorously.
Professor Hazleder nodded, as if satisfied with his attitude, and continued:
"Okay, let's talk about [Twist], if I'm not mistaken, your [Twist] has reached the fourth order, and the first few [Detachments] should have been done by 'stealing' the [Detachment] of other systems, right?"
"Yes."
Lloyd replied truthfully.
"And when did you first come into contact with [Twist]?"
Lloyd briefly talked about the previous library attack and the subsequent mission to encounter the Mind Monster.
When Professor Hazleder heard this, he looked a little surprised, and his invisible body nodded, and replied:
"Hmm...... The way in which you can access [Distortion] in the outside world is generally like this, but you can survive such a strong mental pollution, and it seems that you are born with a strong tolerance for spiritual pollution. β
Lloyd simply asked tentatively:
"Hehe, is there anyone else in the world as good as me?"
He deliberately put away his humility and put on a slightly meaningful tone, with a bit of ostentation.
Professor Hazleder said angrily:
"What do you think? Guess why the six Sages out there were able to become Sages? The mental pollution they have to endure every day is unimaginable. β
This answer made Lloyd secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as you are not the only one, then even if you are noticed in the future, others will at most boast that you have the 'assets of a saint', rather than suspecting that you have opened a hanging.
Professor Hazled, however, failed to notice his complicated thoughts, and admonished in a serious manner:
"In fact, there are far more geniuses with this kind of talent than a single digit, among them, those who have died because of recklessness have been able to circle around Mizkatok, and only those six can finally become saints......
You don't rely on your talent to do dangerous things that don't kill you, such as studying for more than eight hours. β
"Well, I know, I won't dare in the future."
Lloyd replied hurriedly.
This feels really weird, I have been a problem-solver for so long in my life, and it is the first time I have met a teacher who does not allow students to study for too long......
But then again, what's the point of the eight-hour study limit?
As he pondered, he noticed that Professor Hadsleder was writing and drawing in the air, and then a page appeared in front of him, with some small words on it, which made people's scalps tingle when they looked at itβ
It only took two glances for Lloyd to recognize that this was forbidden knowledge related to the [Twisted] system.
The panel next to his ear immediately gave a hint affirming his opinion:
γDing~Madness +50γ
γDing~Madness +50γ
Belch...... As a forbidden knowledge, you're a little too safe, aren't you?
At this point, Professor Hazleder prompted again:
"Don't be in a hurry, don't force yourself to understand, don't make associations, don't diverge, and if you feel any discomfort, be sure to stop immediately."
He cares about himself......
