Krafft's Anomaly Notes

The facts are indeed more or less the same as the guesses.The scars brought by the fire to the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Dunlin did not heal within a few months.

After receiving the delegation to the banquet hall, Professor Samuel exchanged greetings with the professors and lecturers for a while, and then planned to leave the meeting on the pretext of being busy with business.Even Kraft, who is the main academic speaker of technical exchanges, has received only a little extra attention.

He symbolically praised the fruitful achievements of this new academic group and the young and promising incumbents, and his wandering eyes from time to time showed that there were things worth investing more time than talking about scenes that needed to be dealt with.

"Considering that everyone has just arrived in Dunling and is exhausted from the journey, the agenda for the next few days will try to allow enough rest time." He explained.

[I didn't have time to arrange it]

“We welcome the free exchange of ideas about academic issues, especially in medical treatment, drug properties, and pathological research. But please keep it within the bounds of non-controversial research methods.”

[Anyway, surgery is not included]

In short, the schedule is not scheduled, and the trial court is in the midst of inspections every three days. Everyone can only restrain themselves, and some things in the gray area cannot be done.

After hearing this, Professor Linden interrupted with a dry cough, indicating that he needed to speak: "I have a question, which is more important. Your answer may determine the arrangement of our society for a long time to come."

"Please speak."

"I haven't been to Dunling for many years. Are those places still worth visiting now? If it hasn't changed, I'll take the students there directly."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, including some people from Dunling's side.In the farewell of laughter, Linden pushed away the chair and left with a group of students. Before leaving, he took the most popular apple in the fruit basket on the table.

Kraft hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was nothing he could do to stay here, so he also got up and left, pretending to be a member of the Society of Surgery and sneaking out of the venue.

However, after going out, Linden did not go straight to the scenic spot as he said, but found the first staircase with ease, and was about to go up, "I want to meet old friends first. Let's leave first, it's rare to come to Dunling , wherever you want to go, you don’t need to follow me, just remember to come back before the dinner.”

The students who couldn't sit still for a long time got the promise and left one after another.As members of the Surgical Society, the students never thought of learning anything in Dunling, which is heavily restricted. Since there is no arrangement at the moment, and the professor is willing to let them take half a day off to move freely, that would be great. Fast forward directly to the public expense tourism links.

The crowd dispersed, revealing the three members of the Society of Tuberculosis and Rare Diseases following behind.Kraft spread his hands: "I also don't think there is anything to stay there, do you mind taking us with you for a tour later?"

"Before that, are you interested in visiting the academy first?"

"It could not be better."

Probably due to the remote location, they didn't meet the teachers and students of the academy or interrogate them. They walked straight up the stairs and came to the corridor on the fourth floor.

It is a classic and simple structure. On one side of the corridor is an array of rooms. Judging from the size, it should be used for teaching and experimentation. No one is entering or leaving at the moment.

The window on the other side overlooks the garden surrounded by the building. Looking down from here, the pruned tree towers and balls form a small and exquisite landscape, and they are related to each other symmetrically. The whole is in the shape of a large concentric circle. Many paths branched out into it, dividing and fragmenting the richly colored flower beds.

Professor Linden stopped for a while to judge the direction, and walked to one side with a clear purpose.That is the direction close to the center of the main building, where the dome is.

A door that partitioned the corridor blocked the way. He tried to grab the handle and push it, and there was a heavy metal block shaking and knocking sound behind the heavy door panel.

"It's locked, so you can guard against it?"

"Have you been here before?" The so-called visiting old friends have come here.This routine of bypassing the main entrance and taking the small stairs to the top floor is too skillful, and it doesn't seem like a way that non-locals can figure out.

Reluctantly tugging, Linden was sure that he hadn't misremembered the direction to open the door. "Someone took me this way before. I can go around the big spiral staircase in the middle and use it when the dome is not open to the public."

"To do an experiment?" It was hard to understand what a member of Rivers was going to do when he slipped in on the closed day of the medical school laboratory in Dunling.

"It's not, it's just sightseeing." Linden held the door, with some nostalgia in his eyes, "I may not remember other places, but this place is different and impressive. If you get acquainted with local students, they will also tell you. It is rumored that this is the place where "The Structure of the Human Body" was written."

"Really?" Kraft had a secret sense of superiority.According to the manuscript of the church in the woods, it is very likely that the place where Edward finally wrote the book was not in the university, but on the top floor of a church bell tower.

It's very interesting to stumble upon some historical secrets, especially when everyone is misled by so-called "credible rumors".It's a pity that this secret can only be buried in the stomach.

"Really, it's a pity. There are still some things that may be from the Edwardian era, and they are all destroyed. Hundreds of years later, we can point to those things and tell future generations that Edward was on this platform. Observe the anatomy"

He made a pointing motion, imagining the scene, "By the way, not to mention I forgot, remember to keep the earliest set of ether bottles well."

After feeling emotional for a while, Linden put away his emotions, especially after telling Kraft to save the current equipment, he gave up the idea of ​​finding a way to the dome laboratory.

"It seems that we can't get in today. Are you interested in visiting other places? Although I haven't been here for a long time, Dunling is not a place that changes often."

Kraft looked out of the window. Behind the white stone ridge, a tall and thin gray and black spire proclaimed its ubiquitous presence. A distant bell rang tremblingly, and the agitation caused a chain reaction. of harmony.

"How many bell towers are there in Dunling?"

"It's hard for me. Why don't you ask how many stars there are in the sky, or how many bones a person has?"

"Twenty dollars."

"Correct, but the premise is 'normal adults under normal circumstances'. There are actually exceptions for children and some special circumstances." Linden looked a little surprised at the person who answered, it was Kraft's male entourage , "Is this your student? Sorry, I always thought this was your follower."

"It's always good to learn more."

"That's true." Rivers' surgery professor nodded. "The bell tower in Dunling may not be less than the bones. You can visit it in one afternoon, but the most famous one is the most famous one. You can go to the nearby Knights Island in time after shopping. It's just right to come back in the evening." Catch dinner."

"The Cathedral of Our Lady, the tallest bell tower in Dunling is here. We just saw it on the boat." Linden stepped off the carriage provided by the college and looked up at the shadowed building.

When you get close, the oppressive feeling of the giant building is multiplied by the intentionally designed tall figure.It is also at this distance that one can observe part of the original color preserved in the folds of the multi-layered progressive structure, which is composed of light-colored stone materials similar to those of the college, but due to the long history of deposition, it has become the diametrically opposite solemn tone.

This kind of color deepening is naturally integrated into the front design of the building, deepening the concave-convex level unintentionally or unexpectedly, forming a constant light and dark color difference outside the changing light and shadow.In the immortal layered three-dimensional structure of marble and alabaster, narrative reliefs are added to the concave half-moon arches.

The sculptures are mostly in a standing posture, consistent with the architectural form, showing an upward momentum, reflecting the sense of soaring and rising, converging and condensing on the spire of the angel's wings, pointing directly at the sky as if it is within reach.

The most distinctive feature is the slender figure of a woman with her head bowed slightly, her hands are holding a real swaddling baby in soft fabric, and it is placed high under the ring of wings, only the crook of her arms can be seen.

"I have to admit that the aesthetics of this group of people is fine. It would be even more beautiful if they could climb up the bell tower." Under the shadows of the Heavenly Father and the Holy Mother, no matter how ungodly they were, they had to whisper for the sake of the trial court.

"By the way, is there a hunchback bell ringer in the church tower?" Kraft asked on the spur of the moment.

"How do you know?" Linden looked at Kraft suspiciously, wondering where he got the travel guide, which is not something that outsiders who have never been here will know.

"There is a story that I don't know if it's true or not. It was a long time ago and it was only circulated locally. It is said that he was left at the door of the church and was raised by a priest. He was born deformed and ugly but kind-hearted. My wife, with the blessing of my adoptive father, completed the wedding and lived happily ever after."

"what?"

"Is there a problem? Why do I feel you are surprised?"

"It's really unexpected, but I like this story very much, thank you." Kraft laughed up and down, without explaining to the three people the fun he couldn't share, "Don't worry about me, everyone has a unique laugh, right? ?”
