After Professor Lawrence was busy with his head, the college's remedial aftermath was also on the right track, and the next step was to guide the school district to 'dock back' to its original spatial location, and then re-anchor, and then follow up on the repair and reinforcement work, which can be regarded as returning to the original state.

He didn't need to do these steps himself, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, so he quickly took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and took a few sips.

Just then, the dean's voice came from his ear, informing him to go over to the meeting.

Professor Lawrence did not rush to go, but first asked:

"What about Lloyd?"

"He's safe and sound, he's resting in the dormitory."

"Well, that's good, he should get some rest."

Professor Lawrence said, reaching out to open the portal, and before he was about to leave, he turned his head to look at his two colleagues again.

The two seemed to have a dispute about why they were arguing, their faces were red and their necks were thick, and they looked like they wanted to switch from civil fighting to martial arts.

Professor Lawrence listened to it secretly, as if he was arguing about the ownership and distribution of the space storm?

The two of them seem to regard the static space storm as the property of the space system, discussing who should conduct the research first, whose signature should be put first, and so on.

Stupid and ridiculous......

He said disdainfully in his heart, and blessed the two of them to have their brains out.

It was clear that Professor Lawrence was much more sober than the two, and knew that the three school districts were completely out of his control and were gradually moving away from the college.

If you don't hurry up and study it now, you are still fighting here?

Professor Lawrence sneered, then instructed Dandy and the other researchers to collect data on Space Storm according to their own arrangements, and then walked through the portal and went to the dean's office.

The original style of theater and dueling arena has been temporarily switched to the normal style of conference room, with a long and narrow table and many chairs, and there is not even a glass of water on it, and it is bare.

The professors in charge of various disciplines have already arrived and taken their seats, some of them may be human, some of them may not be human, and some of them do not know if they are human......

Professor Lawrence couldn't help but frown, he had never liked to participate in such multidisciplinary meetings, and every time it would have made people feel like they were in an insane asylum, and if it weren't for the fact that the stakes were high right now, he would definitely not be coming back.

"Alright, everyone is here, please sit down at will, and the meeting will start immediately."

The dean's voice came from the empty front of the long table.

Then, the logistics director of the academy, a pot of plants that looked like sunflowers, spoke:

"I don't need to repeat the cause and effect, let's talk about the loss first, in addition to the three marginal school districts that have been abandoned, there are three other school districts that have been engulfed by the space storm and have been fragmented; and five school districts that were severely damaged and completely non-functional; The rest of the ones also suffered damage of various sizes......

In terms of casualties, a total of 52 students, faculty and staff were missing, and more than 500 were injured to varying degrees, which was the heaviest casualty suffered by the College since the beginning of the new century......

However, considering the energy level of this disaster, it is already a miracle that the damage can be controlled at the current level in the end, and the performance of the teachers and students of the Department of Space is very important and can be called a great contribution, so on behalf of our logistics department, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude and respect to all of you in the Department of Space. ”

This pot of sunflowers can not only speak, but also has a human face on the brown flower plate, which can surface all kinds of vivid and realistic expressions, looking like a pot of curious monsters.

And after saying that, it shook its limbs again, and let a few flowers and leaves slap back and forth, creating a thunderous sound effect.

The other professors present were also moved, applauded, and then focused their eyes on Professor Lawrence, hoping that he would say a few words.

Professor Lawrence had already thought of his rhetoric, so he said directly:

"Believe it or not, all I can say is that I didn't really do anything, and it was Lloyd, a freshman in our space department, who really saved the academy, and it was he who resisted the storm and contained it in a way that even I couldn't understand."

Because these professors here are all in other fields, their understanding of space is basically superficial, so they will not be stimulated by these words to collapse their cognition, nor will they 'gasp' and 'be so frightened', they just normally express surprise and surprise, and whisper in a low voice.

Then the professor who presided over the engineering department, a man in a tin with a cast of metal and a smooth mirror, but dressed like a human, like a standard gentleman, asked:

"Freshman Lloyd? In fact, before you came here, Lawrence, we were actually talking about him, and we were surprised by his excellent performance in saving the archaeological team, thinking that he was a child who could create miracles, but I didn't expect that there would be even more exaggerated performances later?

Then I think that from today onwards, the title of the best student of the academy since the new century will probably have to ask the Sage Lord outside to abdicate and make way for Xian, right? It's scary to think about, he's obviously just started school. ”

Then, a burly and burly bald professor next to him also spoke:

"Yes, that kid single-handedly rescued a professor, an associate professor, and three lecturers who were caught in a [miracle], and I can't imagine how he did it? It really surprised me, and I wanted to talk to him, but I vaguely felt that this might bring shock and danger to my cognition......

I'm not afraid of your jokes, this kid makes me feel a little scared, and I feel that it may not be long before our whole Mizkatok will not be able to tolerate him...... Of course, I mean that he is excellent. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a professor from the Department of History, an old man who was so thin that it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a rotten wood, added:

"Allow me to accuse you of an omission and a mistake, Lawrence, for the fact that you have rated this wonder boy too high......

It made me feel so embarrassed that I couldn't think of anything I should come up with to reward and treat him? He saved our archaeological team, saved my proud disciples, and even saved the entire academy, but I don't know how to thank him? ”

"Yes, so do I."

The Tin Man and the bald Professor also said in unison.

Professor Lawrence sounded a little funny, but he also understood the meaning of their words, they didn't really know how to reward, except for worthless things like credits and grades, there were many good things that the three departments treasured enough to make their eyes red, they just wanted to ask for their own opinions.

So the old professor was not in a hurry to speak, but patiently waited for these people to quote first.

"He seems to be [vetoing] the system? It's just the 3rd order? Then I am willing to provide him with all the materials for the fourth detachment, and all of them are of the highest quality. ”

It was the Tin Man Professor who spoke first and proposed.

When Professor Lawrence heard this, he wanted to scold on the spot, but before he could speak, a professor next to him preemptively started scolding:

"Whew! You canned tin, you can handle such a shabby thing? Then you might as well not give it, the materials for his fourth [detachment] are covered by our biology department, if it weren't for him, the territory of our biology department would have been wiped out long ago. ”

The professor appears to be a normal human male, dressed in a plain white lab coat.

But no one knew what kind of body he was hiding inside his white coat, sometimes a disgusting pile of viscous tentacles, sometimes a tangled mass of human-shaped plant roots, and sometimes some indescribable flesh curdle.

So as soon as he spoke, the other professors present all put on a look of holding their breath, as if they were afraid that he would spread spiritual pollution.

The engineering professor who was choked also felt very shameless, and hurriedly made up for it:

"I just didn't finish my sentence, of course I have other gifts for him......"

Having said that, he hesitated and did not clearly indicate what kind of gift it was, so the bald professor next to him interrupted impatiently:

"Okay, think slowly with your iron head, anyway, our mage department won't be so stingy, after all, this kid saved the three of us, so I'm willing to lend him that book worth reading."

The conditions he offered sounded inconspicuous, but Professor Lawrence, who was next to him, suddenly widened his eyes, surprised by the generosity of the mage department.

If there is anything good in the Mage Department that even he will blush, then the book mentioned by the other party is definitely at the top of the list.

Even if it is not a direct gift, but a loan, it is already surprisingly generous.

Because of the special nature of that book, 'borrowing' is also equivalent to 'giving' in a way.

It wasn't just Professor Lawrence who was moved, but even Dean Hadslade was surprised and said:

"You are even willing to take out the Book of Illusion?"

The bald professor smiled indifferently and replied:

"Hehe, what's the big deal? Aren't books meant for people to read? The reason why I don't usually let people touch it is not because I am stingy, but because those people are not qualified to read it, but Lloyd is different, and I am very optimistic about his prospects and future. ”

"But after all, it's a precious thing to see once and lose one time......"

The professor of the history department next to him, who looked like a rotten tree, also said.

But the bald professor asked confidently:

"So what? Is this kind of collection what we humans need today? If Astra's prophecy comes true, are you going to take it to the grave? ”

"No, I'm not reluctant, after all, it's your stuff, I'm just embarrassed about it, you took out the Book of Falsehood, then our history department is far less generous than yours, what can you come up with?"

The rotten wood-like professor hurriedly explained.

Seeing this, Professor Lawrence was about to ask Lloyd for the ancient relics treasured by the Department of History, but the dean preemptively spoke:

"This is very simple, with Lloyd's current talent, he will soon be able to complete the fourth [Transcendence] and come to the door of the Fifth Order, and you will personally preside over the fifth [Transcendence] ceremony for him at that time."

As soon as these words came out, the professors who were still talking to each other, whispering, and discussing what to take out instantly fell silent, and then looked at the empty position of the dean.

The same goes for the sunflower next to it.

And the professor of the history department, who looked like a rotten wood carving, couldn't help but have a moving look, and asked word by word:

"Your Excellency, do you know what that means?"

Even Professor Lawrence, who was on Lloyd's side, opened his mouth to dissuade:

"Hazled, calm down, you're crazy!"

A handsome and tall medical professor next to him also said:

"If I'm not mistaken...... Dean, are you planning to train this freshman on the same path as the previous dean? Do you trust him that much? ”

Even the professor of the art department, who had not spoken a word before, interjected at the right time:

"It's really ...... to recreate [Brilliant Gold] in today's era"

When he mentioned the word "Brilliant Gold", the atmosphere at the scene, which was already very awkward and solemn, suddenly dropped several degrees, making the air seem to freeze.

But the dean didn't speak again, just showed a gesture of never giving in, even if everyone couldn't see its figure, they could clearly feel the resoluteness in its heart.

So after ten minutes of silence, the professor of history sighed and said faintly:

"I know, I accept it."

Hearing him say this, everyone present, including Professor Lawrence, also focused on his thin body, wondering if he was also crazy.

But the professor of history only squeezed a shrill chuckle out of his throat and explained:

"I'm not crazy, I even feel a little relieved and expectant, I'm very old, and the time to stay awake is getting shorter and shorter, so it's time to fulfill my duties, it's rare that the dean still looks at my old bones, so take it......

However, I also have my own conditions and standards, and this young man must meet my requirements, and I don't want to become a civilized sinner instead. ”

"Yes."

The dean responded, and added:

"You can also rest assured, Lloyd is a child who never disappoints, and with the help of the Book of Vanity, he should soon be in front of the door of the fifth order, so you can start preparing as well......

At the same time, I also ask everyone present to keep this matter strictly confidential and not to disclose it to anyone, including Lloyd. ”

When the other professors saw that the matter had come to this, they couldn't say anything, so they could only nod their heads with anxious looks.

After explaining this, the dean stopped talking, and did not urge the engineering department to speak up, as if no matter what they came up with, it would not have much impact.

The meeting automatically moved on to the next topic, and began to discuss the archaeological operation itself, shifting the conversation away from Lloyd and Space Storm.

No one was obsessed with why a freshman from Lloyd could save everyone, no one was obsessed with why he was able to abolish the space storm, perhaps the professors had doubts in their hearts, but no one asked questions at the meeting.

It may be because as a professor in charge of a subject, they know better than anyone the value of 'don't think too much, don't ask too much', or it may be because they have temporarily suppressed their curiosity and choose to go back and investigate.

So after the topic switched, the professor of the Department of History took the lead in making a brief summary:

"This operation is certainly risky, but before it was carried out, you also consulted with all of you, and you also agreed with this operation to recover the [miracle], although the final result can only be described as a blessing in misfortune, but this operation is not meaningless and completely failed......

At least we all know that the miracles of the past have turned into terrible calamities, and are no longer a force on our trust.

Of course, this does not mean that we in the Department of History will abandon the idea of the past, we still believe that the future of humanity is buried in the past, and that it is not a miracle as we originally thought, but something else......"

At this point, he turned his head again and asked Professor Lawrence:

"Lord Lawrence, how much do we have left to unearth now?"

Professor Lawrence thought for a moment before replying:

"I'm afraid it's more than ever...... After our initial observations, although the storm destroyed what was once a great library, I think you have all heard that there were as many as ten similar great libraries in the glory days......"

"Huh? But haven't those big libraries been completely buried in another dimension? ”

A professor next to him hurriedly asked.

Professor Lawrence explains:

"Originally, this was true, but after being swept away by the storm, the alien space is like a beach at low tide, and some things that were buried in the past have been revealed, and now there are five large libraries that have been observed by us again, and there are other scattered and temporarily unidentified areas."

It stands to reason that he should have brought a fairly good piece of news, and there will be more things to be excavated in the future.

But the faces of the professors present became even more worried and ugly than before, as if they were worried about something.

Until a voice who had not participated in the discussion before suddenly spoke:

"Huh...... More libraries, more knowledge, let me smell more madness...... Looks like I'm going to be very busy next......"

The man was dressed as the strangest of all the people present, with a black cloak tightly wrapped around him, a certain large felt hat on his head even indoors, and a thin, long, sharp beak mask on his face, which was tightly fastened to his face as if it had grown out.

His voice sounded hoarse and harsh, a bit like a knife rubbing against glass, and it made people feel sore in their teeth.

And the position where he was sitting was also empty, and everyone kept at least three empty seats from him, as if hiding from the plague god.

But he was the second person who could be called the 'dean' among those present.

It's just that he's in charge of a psychiatric hospital......

When the dean had said this, he stopped speaking, but leaned back in his chair and lowered his head slightly, as if he had fallen asleep.

After a little silence, the silence was broken by the biology professor who didn't know what was stuffed under the white coat:

"This is not necessarily a good thing, at least I can collect more samples and individuals over there, and come up with more academic results, maybe I can meet a few ancient people? So can you give me some extra budget in advance? ”

"Well, I'm also inclined to be optimistic, if the former factories and magic research institutes can be unearthed in those once buried areas, then a few stalled topics and projects in our department may be able to make new progress."

Professor Tin Man followed.

Several other professors also spoke, each speaking about the possible benefits of the change.

Even the professors of the art department got involved, saying that they could find the artistic crystallization of the past.

Only the two deans and Professor Lawrence did not say a word.

Professor Lawrence even found some familiarity in these people.

It's really like being comforted and deceived by Lloyd......

Clearly, the reappearance of these lost things of the past is not as optimistic as others have considered......

As the one in the psychiatric hospital said, just the 'surface' of more forbidden knowledge is already a terrible expectation.

And even that's not the worst......

It's just that the bad expectations haven't really come yet, so there's nothing wrong with being optimistic?

And so, after the discussion of several less important topics, the meeting was considered to have come to an end.

The director of the psychiatric hospital was the first to get up and left without saying a word.

After he had been gone for a while, Professor Lawrence followed, then the professor of history, then the professor of engineering, as if following some tacit priority.

The professor of the art department was rightfully left last.

Before leaving, he suddenly turned around and asked:

"Your Excellency, I also want to express my gratitude to Mr. Lloyd, but I don't know if it is more appropriate to have belongings from the outside world? Or is it better to have our art collections? After all, you also know the situation of our art department, and there are really not many things that can be brought out. ”

The dean did not say a word, and said in silence that it was not good to choose these things.

"That'...... I can only send the most beautiful girl in our department? ”

"You can try."

The dean said in that tone that was neither salty, nor light, nor emotional, and his figure disappeared in place.

"Uh......"

The professor in the art department couldn't help but scratch his head, a little unsure of the meaning of the dean's words.

Do you mean you can try it? Or can you give it a try?
