Chapter 67 The Secret of Avalon
——Squeak.
The sound of the wheelchair turning and then stopping was heard.
Aiwass was pushed to the podium by Lily, raised his head and glanced at the crowd in front of him with interest.
The students all looked at themselves.
Some were shocked, some were excited, some were curious, some frowned, and some had expressionless faces.
Some people just woke up and didn't understand what happened; others were not sure what the people around them were saying.
But there is no doubt about it.
Even the sleepiest student and the least interested in class at least looked up at Aiwass who was making such a big fuss.
Aiwass was right in the center of the crowd, looking at them and smiling.
Facing people's scrutiny and curiosity, he felt that he did not have any stage fright. On the contrary, he was full of interest, and there seemed to be restless sparks flowing in his veins. As if a girl's fingers were gently brushing against her, her back slowly and unconsciously tightened.
It was also the first time that Aiwass realized... and it was also the first time that he had the opportunity to realize that he was actually so adaptable to such a "public" occasion.
He raised his face and smiled brightly.
He reached out and turned on the loudspeaker, and the loudspeaker that had just been turned on made a sharp buzzing sound.
"Hello everyone, my name is Aiwass Moriarty.
"You may already know me...from other people's mouths, from newspapers. Or maybe you don't know me - but that doesn't matter. From now on, I am a classmate of the same college, the same major, and even the same class as you. "
Aiwass' gentle voice carried a slight echo throughout the lecture hall: "As you can see, I am not in good health. I have been studying at home since the beginning of school. And this person behind me is my friend Lily, He is also responsible for helping me travel. ”
After he finished speaking, Lily, the maid behind him, bowed slightly to the crowd on behalf of Aiwass.
After that, Aiwass smiled and said: "Professor Bard obviously wants to give me a little test. To see if I am studying at home... This is also to see if I can keep up with everyone's progress.
"Then I will explain it a little bit. But after all, I am a student like everyone else. If I made any mistakes, please forgive me."
He said, looking down at the contents of the lesson plan.
The above are all the same things, most of which are what someone did on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year... No wonder the students felt sleepy after listening to them.
If I were to talk about these things again, they would probably find it boring after they have passed the freshness.
Moreover, Aiwass was indeed not familiar with the details; it would be quite troublesome if he accidentally mentioned secrets that he shouldn't know.
So Aiwass quickly came up with an idea.
He raised his head and asked briskly: "Everyone has learned about the establishment of the Star Antimony Kingdom now, right?
"The Herasl Empire was split into the Kingdom of Star Antimony, the Kingdom of Iris, the Principality of Narcissus, and the Principality of Black Eagle——"
When he said this, he suddenly changed his words: "Then let me talk about some interesting things that are not in the textbooks but are allowed to be taught by Her Majesty the Queen.
"...Do you know why the huge Herasl Empire suddenly fell apart?"
After a brief silence, someone raised a hand.
Aiwass looked at him and nodded slightly.
And a steady male voice sounded: "It was because demonic spells that transcended the path were popular in the empire, which eventually summoned powerful demons, causing the royal family to be slaughtered. After the royal bloodline was cut off, various places became kings one after another. What followed continued Six years of ‘earth-breaking war’.”
It turns out that this is the version of Avalon's history. Aiwass thought.
"Please take a seat, sir."
He had an idea in his mind, nodded slightly and replied: "You are right, but not entirely right.
“This is indeed the direct cause of the rupture of the empire’s inheritance and lineage, but it is not the fundamental cause of the empire’s disintegration.
"The fundamental reason is the dispute over the way. Civil wars, invasions, and divisions in kingdoms in the world are mostly due to the dispute over the way."
At this point, Aiwass skillfully switched the topic to his area of expertise.
Professor Bard touched his chin, but did not stop or correct it.
Because there is nothing wrong with what Aiwas said, this is still the demise of the Herasl Empire and the establishment of the Star Antimony Kingdom. It's just that this involves the content of another course... the discussion and research on the war of extraordinary beings. However, this aspect of knowledge is not taught in seminaries, so it is still good as extended reading.
When the students realized that Aiwass had started talking about extraordinary beings... they all raised their heads and looked at Aiwass with interest.
The history involving the supernatural is not necessarily occult knowledge, but it must be equally as difficult to obtain as occult knowledge.
Maybe it's because he is "Moriarty" that he has this opportunity to come into contact with this kind of secret.
And it sounds a lot more interesting than boring history!
"All of us here, as long as we can step into the extraordinary, are fellow members of the path of devotion. A very small number of people who cannot enter the path of devotion will also transfer to the 'Individual Tactics Department' to join the path of authoritarianism in the next semester. And The path of devotion and the path of authority do not conflict, so people are not aware of the conflict between the paths.
“Just like the path of beauty that we came into contact with when studying art in the sixth department - art as eternal and momentary beauty, it is inevitable that it will be close to the path of dusk; and like the concept of twin mirrors, when artists do not lean towards dusk, they are likely to lean towards balance; secondly, those romantic hearts will lean towards the "path of love."
“But in any case, there is a conflict between the path of beauty and the path of wisdom. The rationality of pursuing truth and the sensibility of pursuing beauty are ultimately incompatible.
“Similarly, the authoritarian path of controlling power, controlling will, and leading others is bound to conflict with the path of insubordination, pursuit of transcendence, and seeking higher transcendence.
“The path of adaptation emphasizes conforming to nature and being one with heaven and earth, while the path of balance requires cognition of the world and control of nature.
"Even those of us who walk on the path of devotion can do nothing about those on the path of love. Because they are always greedy, always passionate, and always insatiable, they are hungry wolves that can never be full or fed enough. The light we emit sinks into it, just like a stone thrown into a lake, which can't stir up many waves.
"The nine pillars are not united, and the apostles also have love, hatred, jealousy, and hatred for each other. For example, a knight under the scales of the silver-crowned dragon has a feud with a sage who follows the great philosopher; and that sage was killed by a fairy on the path of love. The "paths" are inherently conflicting. "
Evans casually brought the topic up to the level of the Nine Pillars, which made people shudder.
And he knew... these people were obviously more interested in the secrets of Avalon than talking about the Star Antimony Kingdom directly.
So Aiwass took this opportunity to bring the topic up to the royal family to excite the students: "And that 'knight' is the founding monarch of Avalon, 'Lancelot I'.
"The sage who was chosen by the Great Master as an apostle and ascended to the dream world was called Merlin. He was actually a 'half-illusion demon' who was almost impossible to exist. His father was a demon of the race 'Dream Demon', and his mother was a pure virgin of the Way of Love.
"She was very beautiful, and many people came to propose to her at that time. But this lady had a strange characteristic - she could not touch any man she could see with her eyes, so she hoped that a man she could not see would love her. After encountering the invisible Dream Demon in her dream, she knew that this was the person she was waiting for... She used her own Way ability to obtain the non-existent seed of the other party. Yes, this sage is a 'son without a father'.
"This sage was born with half demon blood in his body and possessed extraordinary charm. When he was fourteen years old, he was loved by a lake fairy of the Path of Love. But he knew that the 'love' of the Path of Love was fatal, so he kept his distance. But in the end, he could not resist the persistent and passionate pursuit of the lake fairy and had a relationship with her.
"They pursued fierce reproduction. And in their last, um... ritual, the lake fairy killed him. "
Amidst the low exclamations, Aiwas turned to talk: "But, this sage named Merlin, after all, has half of the blood of the phantom demon. He is also immortal in a sense.
"So he didn't really die. He just fell into a deep sleep and didn't resurrect until a long time later.
"After the lake fairy's love as a girl ended, the next great achievement was the love as a mother - her heart was full of strong and pure maternal love. At this time, she became the elven foster mother of our Majesty... Lancelot I.
"This is the relationship between the three apostles when they were all mortals.
"After their great deeds in the world were over, they all ascended to the side of the Nine Pillars and became apostles. Until now, they are still fighting each other in the dream world. "
Hearing this, the students started a noisy discussion again.
But they were not bored - on the contrary. They were excited about it!
This was undoubtedly a story they had never heard before - the secret story of the founding monarch of Avalon that they heard in class!
It involved a lot of plots that made young people blush and feel anxious... whether it was desire or violence.
--And the strict Professor Bard did not interrupt or make any corrections.
Professor Bard liked to grab students to give lectures, but generally speaking, after the students said a few words, Professor Bard would say "I'll interrupt" or "I'll correct it" and then come over to talk a lot.
The students who came on stage could only smile awkwardly and listen to Professor Bard's dry and boring, information-filled speeches from a close distance. A huge amount of knowledge. He was punished to stand there until the end of the get out of class.
The professor did not take back the microphone to add a few words, which means that he recognized what Aiwass said!
I didn't expect to hear such an exciting secret in history class!
Such a chaotic relationship--
The boys discussed in a low voice with great interest, while the girls shyly pretended to cover their ears. Some people also covered their mouths gently, just to hide their excitement and laughter.
At this time, many students finally understood why the path of wisdom and the path of authority seemed to have no conflict, but were always illegal.
This was not even related to the disputes between the paths, but to the personal conflicts of that majesty.
In order to respect the ancestor who was promoted to an apostle, his descendants banned the legitimacy of the path of wisdom in Avalon.
"Amazing..."
Professor Bud opened his eyes wide and was amazed.
The bald old man paced excitedly, forcing himself to resist the urge to rush over and say a few words.
The things that Aiwass talked about are actually what the seminary will teach sooner or later. None of them are taboos.
It’s just that some of these things are in "Modern History of Avalon", some in "Apostolic Relations", and some in the elective course "General Ritual Studies", all of which are scattered. Among them, "Apostolic Relations" is a sophomore course, and "General Ritual Studies" is an elective course for juniors.
The fact that Aiwass can know these things and connect them together and speak them fluently is enough to prove that he really studied hard at home!
