Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 36 36. Overseas Students

"The reason why I named the academy's spaceship Nidhogg is because there is a very important thing mentioned in the legend about this black dragon, that is, the origin of the world is chaos at first. Manipulation or alchemy are both using magic to try to organize the chaotic 'unknown' into a clear 'known', and make it available to people."

Li Fulu became serious, which made Emma stand in awe.At this moment, she no longer looks like a ten-year-old girl at all, but has turned back into the majestic dean.

"Until now, human beings... no, the research on magic in the whole world is just the tip of the iceberg. Is magic a rule? Is it the source of creation? The more I study, the more afraid I feel. God, who will annihilate everything in the world because of a mistake in the study of magic..."

"Master Lifru, you are somewhat... worrying about the sky. You are stronger than Lilith and did not destroy the world. The magic that can return everything to chaos and silence, even if it appears, it must be tens of thousands of years later. .”

"Perhaps, this is really far away."

Li Fulu didn't think it was disobedient, but just shrugged again, and returned to that indecent look.

"In short, this notebook of yours feels very similar to "Jade Record" to me. It looks at magic from a higher level perspective, which is probably much higher than what we know. You must treasure it carefully. "

"Such a big book...it must be difficult for me to carry it with me."

Emma picked up the book and weighed it.She looked at Li Fulu with a look of embarrassment, but found that her eyes were on her waist.

"Do you have the habit of carrying spice balls? This taste is not suitable for you, it's a bit too complicated."

"Oh, no, Katarina lent it to me as a token to stay in her family's hostel. I'll return it to her when I'm in class tomorrow."

With a light gesture from Livlu, the drawer on the dean's desk opened, and an exquisite hollowed-out silver incense box slowly flew to Emma.

The shape of the incense box is round and square, without extra decoration, and the hollow pattern is exactly the iris and swift that represent Turin College.

"This is what I used when I was young, and it doesn't suit me like this now. I'll give it to you."

"Ah, this...thank you Lifru-sama."

The elders can't refuse the gift, so Emma can only respectfully accept it.

"In addition to being an incense box, this gadget is also engraved with a delicate magic circle, which can be put into things that are larger than the volume. Although the space is only equivalent to a small box, there is no problem with storing your notes."

Oops, sounds a little too expensive.But now that he has accepted it, it is too late to regret it now.Emma could only stand up and salute.

"How hypocritical! Well, you go down."

……

Under the comprehensive management of Deputy Dean Passy, ​​the new semester started in an orderly manner.

It wasn't until the tenth day after the start of school that Emma met several new first-year apprentices who had chosen this course in the magical creature research class for the first time.I heard that a total of 15 people were admitted this year.

One of the apprentices was hard to ignore, and everyone cast their eyes on her consciously or unconsciously.She looks so different, her skin color and appearance all indicate that she is a foreign visitor.Her hair and eyes are the same black as Hayward's, but darker.Her hair was straight, without any bends, tied into a high ponytail at the back of her head with an obsidian scrunchie.

Mr. Robin, the dwarf teacher, seemed to be familiar with it. After all, he had traveled across the ocean in his early years, and his experience was much wider than that of the apprentices.

The magical creature introduced by Mr. Robin today is a seahorse, the upper body is a horse, and the lower body is a fish tail.Even though there have been species with fish-shaped chests and front hooves in some sea areas, the head and neck must be in the shape of a horse.

Seahorses tend to have long tails that can curl up like snakes and are their main means of attack.There are unique spots or markings on the tail, which can clearly distinguish individuals.

The cry of this creature is between that of a horse and that of a cow, and it is about half the size of a bull.As an amphibian, in addition to eating seagrass, it can also forage near the coast, eating some grass and leaves.

Among the seven gods believed in the south, there is a sea god. According to legend, his mount is a seahorse.Some temples also show him driving a chariot of three sea horses.

Before the currency was unified by King Irea, the southern silver coins were also engraved with seahorses.These ancient coins that are no longer in circulation are now sold as expensive amulets. It is said that carrying one with you can ensure safety at sea.

"Which apprentice has a problem, you can raise it now."

After Mr. Robin finished speaking, he looked at Emma, ​​which had become a habit of his teaching.

Emma does have a question about seahorses. I heard that they are oviparous and give birth to transparent egg cases, which are rare magic materials.Because seahorses all choose to spawn in hidden deep seas, it is extremely difficult to obtain them.But before she could raise her hand, the foreign apprentice desperately raised her hand.

"Huh? Are you a new apprentice in the first grade? It's rare to be so active at the beginning of class. What's your name?"

Since it is an elective course, the magic creature class and the actual combat study class are relatively free, and most of the time the class is held in the garden of the castle.Mr. Robin occasionally brings some relatively harmless magical creatures into class for everyone to see up close.Everyone stood in a circle around the teacher at this time, and there was no need to stand up when raising their hands to ask questions.

"Report to Mr. Robin, my name is Huazheng, and I'm an international student from Dongfang Huaguo."

"Huaguo? That's too far away... You should be the first Huaguo international student in Tulin College. If you have any questions, just ask."

Hua Zheng's answer made the apprentices feel a little uproar. After all, the distance between Huaguo and Duma mainland is not just across oceans.The goods from there have to go through several twists and turns and circulate among various countries before finally appearing in front of people.

Emma remembered that the black lacquer cabinet inlaid with mother-of-pearl in the dean's room was from Huaguo.

"Mr. Robin, can you only ask about seahorses? I want to ask about other magical creatures."

"Oh?"

Mr. Robin was obviously a little surprised, this is not very in line with the rules.But considering that this was the first elective class for the new apprentice, and she seemed really enthusiastic, he nodded to let her ask questions.

"I want to ask about Moss, the mountain god of the holy mountain behind the academy!"

After Huazheng uttered her question, even Mr. Robin, who had done a lot of research on magical creatures, looked at a loss.

"Moss? Isn't that the name of the Red Field? The wasteland at the foot of the holy mountain."

"No...'Moz' means the elf of the forest. The wasteland should be called this because of it..."

"Sorry, I really haven't heard of it. Even the word 'Moss Wasteland' is mentioned by fewer and fewer people. In a few decades, everyone may only remember it as the Red Plain. In my impression Here, the holy mountain is the holy mountain. I have never heard of any mountain gods, maybe it is a certain religious legend that has passed too long ago and no longer exists? In short, there are no mountain gods in the Seven Gods."

"Okay...thank you Mr. Robin. I see."

Hua Zheng lowered his head, showing a very sad look.
