316. Man is indeed a creature that fears contrast
In fact, it was not only Lloyd and other students who were shocked by the scene in front of them, but even several lecturers present were also shocked.
It seems that such a picture is rare in archaeological activities.
Until Professor Fernand suddenly snorted:
"Quiet! Have you forgotten what you had to do before you left? โ
Only then did everyone settle down, and then they heard a bald mage ask in a low voice:
"Is this the [miracle] you are trying to recover?"
"Yes."
Professor Fernand nodded, and then briefly explained to the others:
"On the day of the Doomsday Calamity, the former Dean unleashed [Miracle MagicโTime Freeze] in an attempt to control the spread of spiritual pollution in the Academy, which is what you are witnessing before your eyes......
It's a pity that the price of [Miracle] is too heavy, even the [Brilliant Gold] like the previous dean did not last long, so that the coverage of [Miracle] is far from large enough, and it only takes effect in a very partial area......
It is only now, at the risk of falling into madness, that many research groups in our history department have discovered this tiny [miracle] from the forbidden knowledge they have recovered, so they have today's action. โ
When the professor said this, he suddenly became a little too loud, replaced it with that impassioned tone, and continued:
"Ladies and gentlemen! The miracle is right in front of us! The future of humanity is in front of us! Only by recovering the lost miracle magic can our civilization usher in true hope! So, I hope you can help me! โ
As he spoke, he looked at the students who were floating in the air and added:
"I believe in the past, and I hope to see us meet a new future!"
With his words, the morale and military morale of the team barely stabilized, at least everyone's faces eased a lot.
"Then let's get started, everything is according to the previous arrangement, we need to find the 'core' of this [miracle], and try to gather some nearby knowledge, that will be the key to our interpretation of the [miracle]......
Three of you from the Department of Ancient Magic, and Torredo from the Department of Engineering, please follow me in, I need your experience and knowledge to help me locate the 'core';
Lille and Randy, they take the students around here to gather knowledge, arrange the rituals, remember to pay attention to safety;
Lloyd, from the Department of Space, please carefully monitor the changes in the space around here, and be sure to notify everyone if there is a situation. โ
Professor Fernand gave the calls, re-emphasizing their respective tasks, and finally reminded:
"I repeat, don't look at them, don't think about them, don't be curious, don't touch them in any way!"
With that, he was the first to step out of the elevator and bask in the bright light of the library.
The elevator and the library seemed to be unobstructed, but when he took a step, the air was filled with ripple-shaped lines, and it looked like he had jumped into the water.
As soon as Professor Fernand landed, his face changed slightly, he frowned, and then reminded in a low voice:
"The mental pollution is very strong, everyone be careful."
But since they had all come, and no one in the audience had to flinch, the three bald mages followed the professor's footsteps and walked in.
Then the other lecturers, and then the students, stepped out of the elevator one after another.
However, Lloyd was uncharacteristically left behind.
"Huh? Honor student, don't you dare to come down? โ
The second-to-last student glanced back at him and asked with some amusement.
Lloyd looked at him a little speechlessly, and asked angrily:
"Are you stupid? Still haven't been in a car? Have you ever seen a car get out of the car without stopping steadily? โ
"You ......"
The other party was so stunned by Lloyd that he couldn't say a word, so he could only glare at Lloyd angrily, and then walked out.
As a result, as soon as he landed, his feet suddenly became weak, and he began to cough violently, obviously not adapting to the sudden strong mental pollution outside.
Lloyd really wanted to see how exaggerated the mental pollution out there was.
But I still dutifully adjusted the state of the elevator first, so that it maintained the connection with the space pocket watch, and anchored it nearby, and confirmed that the elevator was in a state of 'on-call', and then I couldn't wait to go out.
ใDing~Madness +20ใ
ใDing~Madness +20ใ
Yes? That's it?
I thought I had a multi-experience event, but that's it?
Lloyd was inevitably disappointed.
However, he glanced at the upper right corner of his field of vision, and saw that the string of numbers was jumping back and forth between 100 and 50.
It seems that this is not accurate, or believe in the data of the panel.
Lloyd said something to himself in his heart, and then picked up the spatial compass of the magic method, looked around, and then reminded:
"The space is stable for the time being, but there may be fluctuations later, so you'd better not go too far."
Professor Fernand, who was beckoning the three bald mages and an engineer to go deeper, couldn't help but stop, turned back and nodded at Lloyd, before motioning for the three mages to follow him and continue to the depths of the library.
Lloyd had nothing to do for the rest of the day, just need to keep an eye on it while waiting for the elevator to take everyone back.
On the other hand, the other students, who were enduring the discomfort caused by mental pollution, began to arrange the rituals under the guidance of the two history lecturers.
They seem to be planning to set up several sadhanas? Everyone was busy, and Lloyd was bored alone.
And in this hellish place, the more boring it is, the more uncomfortable it becomes......
Especially the students who were floating around would always float past him from time to time to show Lloyd how lifelike they were.
And the floating books and pages were restless, giving off a certain tantalizing sweetness, making Lloyd want to reach for the next page and read the mystery inside.
He could even feel that these books and pages were more energetic than those students, and there seemed to be some kind of 'impulsiveness' that was suppressed by death.
Lloyd had reason to believe that if it weren't for the effect of [Miracle Magic-Time Frozen], this knowledge would have rushed towards the humans in front of him.
Looking at it this way, the [miracle] that Professor Fernand wants to recover is really important, right?
Perhaps this could be a key means for humanity to defend against forbidden knowledge?
Is the future and hope really in front of us? Am I participating in a historic moment?
Lloyd could only think about all kinds of cranky thoughts, distracting himself to relieve the discomfort and discomfort in his heart.
Well...... In the past few days in the academy, I seem to have heard many times about the 'future' and the 'hope', and I feel that Mizkatok here is very pessimistic about the future of mankind. Everyone looks like they want to change their lives?
Is it that bad?
I think it's okay to see the world out there? A new round of great development is in full swing, and the living space of human beings can be further expanded, and the seventh saint will soon be ushered in.
Soon, there should be an eighth place, the Twisted Sage?
Thinking of this, Lloyd couldn't help but remember his humble and introverted low-key young man, so he shook his head and changed his mind.
There's nothing wrong with exploring the future of humanity, but how do I feel that everyone doesn't have a unified direction? A bit of a siloed look?
Professor Lawrence believes that 'space' is the future, Professor Hazleder believes that a new future needs to be 'distorted', and today Professor Fernand believes that the future is in the 'past'......
But this is also normal, there must be more than one direction to the future, and everyone is exploring their own paths, which is quite good.
Then again, the miracle magic you're looking for today is really amazing and magical, isn't it? How can such an exaggerated effect be achieved?
I wonder what that magic looks like?
Lloyd was thinking about this, when he suddenly saw a student floating in front of him at a distance of one meter from him.
He was in a posture of climbing the stairs to retrieve his books, when he slammed his head into the floor of the library, and there was a strange shift in direction, and he was coming towards Lloyd.
The eyes, which should have been completely frozen, seemed to turn a little, staring directly at Lloyd, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a strange grin.
And the posture of holding up his right hand to take the book looked like he was about to grab Lloyd.
"Wow!"
Lloyd was frightened, his scalp tingled, and he hurriedly moved half a step to the side, narrowly passing by the student.
"Be careful! A little closer to us! โ
Lloyd then heard the lecturer in the history department reminding him.
He didn't dare to continue to be cold now, and hurriedly approached the vicinity of the large army.
I was in no mood to continue thinking about it, so I simply looked down at the rituals that these people were arranging.
Needless to say, the skills of those two lecturers look exceptionally skilled, and in such a short period of time, they have completed at least thirty percent of the progress.
As for the other students, they were somewhat unsightly......
The patterns drawn are crooked, and the various components are placed in a skewed manner, and if Lloyd were to score them, they would definitely fail.
It stands to reason that the history department is certainly not a random selection of people to join the team, and the level of ritual studies of these people should not be so good.
But considering that they are battling mental pollution while working, doesn't it seem strange?
Among them, the 'outlaws' of the taboo system scored the lowest, made the slowest progress, and had to stop from time to time to hold their heads and hum a few times, or retch, which seriously affected their progress.
Although Mizkatok does not recommend systemic discrimination, even if Lloyd puts aside his prejudice and evaluates it objectively, these people are really too dish.
It can only be said that no matter how free the style of study here is in Mitzkatok, these people are still outlaws in the outside world, and the resources, channels, foundation, accumulation, etc. they can access are definitely not as good as the background of the Order, and the starting line is a cut behind others.
What's more, under the influence of the taboo system, their rationality is generally not high enough, and it is normal to behave like this.
So Lloyd's dislike of them is really not entirely because of his jealous and hateful righteous young man.
As a result, the two art students who were dissed by many people behaved quite well, not to mention much, at least the patterns drawn were acceptable, and the progress was a little faster than other students.
Maybe they're all engaged in painting?
However, this is a task that others are responsible for, and Lloyd didn't comment, but just evaluated it in his heart, and took the initiative to ask:
"Is there anything I can do to help?"
"Hmm...... In principle, this is not your task......"
The lecturer named Randy originally wanted to refuse, but when he looked up at the miserable progress and worsening mental state of the other students, he quickly changed his words:
"But the situation is special at the moment, can you help me make up the rest of the part? I'm going to help other people. โ
"This sadhana is ...... [suppression]?"
"Yes, but with some modifications, you can just arrange it according to the most conventional [suppression], and I will adjust it in the end."
"Okay, no problem, leave it to me."
Lloyd nodded, and immediately took out the spiritual ink and the classic three-piece set from his pocket as if by magic, and then began to mix the spiritual ink with skillful techniques.
Lecturer Randy was a little surprised when he saw this, and looked like he wanted to ask, 'Why are you so skilled?' โ
But Lloyd was already crouching on the ground and began to fill in the rest of his progress.
Lecturer Randy ran to help the student who was at the bottom of his progress, but from time to time he turned his head to glance at Lloyd's progress.
As a result, I was even more surprised at this glance.
So fast? So familiar? So stable?
The lines are smooth, the composition is accurate, and the basic skills are unusually solid, not even worse than yourself?
Is he from the Department of Space or the Department of Occultism?
Lecturer Randy couldn't help but give a very high evaluation in his heart, and couldn't help but continue to think:
But even a third-year student on the occult side rarely saw such a solid foundation.
No wonder it was snatched directly by the above-eyed Professor Lawrence, it seems that I really underestimated him before......
And he seems to be still our [veto] department, it seems that there is a genius boy in the order outside?
Lecturer Randy couldn't help but feel a little more fond of this genius boy when he thought of Lloyd's same background as himself.
Later, if conditions permit, you can secretly give him some sweetness, and the right is to pull a genius junior of the Order.
Of course, in terms of ratings, it can definitely be higher.
Lecturer Randy made a decision in his mind, then turned back and looked at the progress in front of him.
The students who were originally in charge of this place had already put their heads in their hands and began to cry bitterly......
Although the mental state has not deteriorated and will not fall on the spot, I am afraid that it will not be of much use.
Alas...... Humans are indeed creatures that fear contrast......
