The round table discussion continues.
Boom boom boom boom.
The sound of fingertips tapping on the table inadvertently revealed the inner turmoil of the oldest scholar.
Over the years, facing the unremitting efforts of female scholars and the many research results, even his heart gradually began to shake.
"Antonio once said that the development of faith lies in the constant self-belief, and the development of knowledge is in the constant self-doubt. Even the great pioneers admit that they are only a milestone on the road of human exploration of truth. The law of truth once In the future, perhaps it is only the savages who discover the flames of summer."
The savages found the flames of summer is a story in the Principality of Sealand.
According to legend, in a barren land, a savage accidentally discovered that when a summer thunderstorm came, a fire would ignite in the bushes before the rainstorm.
That is: the bushes will be ablaze in summer, so this barbarian is regarded by other barbarians as the prophet of the tribe.
Until one year.
In the summer of this year, the thunderstorm did not ignite the bushes. Faced with the subversion of the law of truth by unknown supernatural forces, the savages were afraid of the unknown and hesitated. Get God's forgiveness.
The savages sacrificed cattle and sheep to the bushes, and received no response from the gods.
So the prophet asked for more precious sacrifices, and the barbarians began to sacrifice living people in order to get the response of the gods...
This story is said to have originated from Adolf Gauss in the Principality of Sealand, but it has not been verified.
In the story, the barbarian who discovered the summer flame is a metaphor for Gauss Adolf himself, a lonely explorer on the road of truth, who also has his own fear, confusion, and at a loss.
The old man raised his head and kept scanning between the female scholar and Gu Bo.
In the end, the old man's eyes fell on Gu Bo.
"The reason why the college chose you to be the teaching director of this class of enlightenment students, I am afraid that the meaning of the dean is that you can prove your point of view with your achievements. We have seen An Liya's hard work and achievements over the years, yes It's time for us to face up to this great new academic proposition, what do you think?"
An Liya is the academic female instructor who published alienation and psychic studies!
Gu Bo was silent, and the unprecedented pressure was on his shoulders.
The old man commented on Gu Bo for a long time, and continued in a low voice: "This matter is not only related to the academy, but also has a great impact on the laws of nature and the profound meaning of evolution. We must not act cautiously. Let's do this. Three years later, we will use Gu Bo's class Freshmen's graduation examination results, as the direction of academic discussion on alienated psychics, have been here for more than ten years, and we can afford to wait for three years!"
"Also."
After the reconsideration, another scholar who did not speak did not want the meeting to end in a meaningless debate, so he said: "This meeting, let's discuss first, how to deal with the pressure from the church!"
After a pause, the man continued: "I see that although the church claims to visit a red-clothed patriarch to search the Royal Science Laboratory, the real goal is probably just to make the committee compromise and isolate the Principality of Barda."
Gu Bo and An Liya are unwilling to speak in the next meeting because of the previous dispute.
Although there are conflicts between the college's power organization on academic issues, it still maintains a basic unity with external forces, and there is not much difference in ideas.
Sulfur Yan extinguished the cigarette stick in his hand, and murmured: "I don't know if this is the meaning of the old pope, or the will of the new pope who is about to board the plane. Anyway, we old fellows did our best to complete the task and put those few An arbitrator has dealt with it, and the rest will be left to the committee and the dean."
The royal families of various countries have their own royal academician committees. Although they are not the authority of the academy, they have enough influence due to countless connections, similar to the honorary president of the academy.
If the dean of the college holds the right to allocate resources within the college, then the Royal Academician Committee will gain more resources for the college by influencing the politics of the Principality.
smash it.
Sulphur re-ignited the smoke pot and continued: "I just hope that the committee will try to make a good balance. On the one hand, it must not completely abandon the Principality of Barda, otherwise his today may be our tomorrow. On the other hand, the treasured literature and books of the Royal Academy of Sciences , it has been handed down through painstaking research by scholars of all ages... "
The church has a long history of searching the royal academies of sciences.
Ever since the pioneer of Benivens was tried by the religious court and died at the stake for adhering to the truth, whenever there were some incidents in the colleges where the church could intervene, the search of the Royal Academy of Sciences would always be the ultimate goal.
Once the church successfully entered the Royal Academy of Sciences, it would burn a large number of progressive books, and even interrupt the progress of some large-scale experiments, causing the academy's years of research results to be burned.
no doubt!
The goal of the negotiations of the churches this time is the isolation of the Principality of Gran on the Barda Institute of Nature. If expectations are not met, huge losses will inevitably be incurred.
Who made those wizards who had disappeared for more than ten years reappear in the Grand Duchy, collected sacrifices in full view of the academy, and escaped safely, without even leaving alive!
Speaking of it, Gu Bo's mission failed, which led to the current predicament of the college.
I am afraid that it is precisely because of this that Gu Bo did not show such an aggressive posture in this round table meeting. He hardly said anything, and he was overwhelmed by An Liya.
"Scholars in the Principality of Barda have indeed gone too far in their remarks in recent years. Although the church's prestige has dropped sharply in the past century due to the failure of two consecutive expeditions, atheism is the limit that the church can tolerate. Those guys actually preach that humans can Breaking through the shackles of one's own potential and becoming a god, although it will allow the academy to develop vigorously in a short period of time, it is looking for a dead end!"
The words of the old man, the color of resentment.
Since the heliocentric trial of the Principality of Utoran, the royal families of various countries have compromised with the church and burned a large number of progressive books that violated the will of the church. For many years, the two sides have remained peaceful.
The church was able to focus more on the will and expedition to the land of night, and the academies of various countries also developed vigorously during this period.
Although no new pioneers have been born, the number of basic scholars is far greater than before. The basic education in various colleges is booming, and the "magician" has become a symbol of erudition, elegance, wealth, mystery, and power in people's eyes.
And now!
For the sake of temporary development, the Principality of Barda actually compromised with the unspoken rules of the royal academies and the church, not only putting itself in danger, but also implicating other academies. How can the old man not be angry
If it had been more than ten years ago, when something similar to wizards happened in the Grant School of Nature, the church would not have made such a big move.
"I suggest that, before the High Priest in Red Clothes arrives at the academy, on the one hand, use the Mercenary Association to do everything possible to capture some fugitives from the church, so that they can become our bargaining chips and reduce losses; on the other hand, step up contact with Barda Academy, give pressure, in exchange for some compromises from the church!"
One person interjected.
"There is also the fugitive wizard who was able to escape under the noses of Gu Bo and Sulfur Rock. Even if he is not the legendary great witch king, he must be one of the long-renowned great witches in the dark world. Try to contact the dark world and talk about it." Find out who exists!"
