The exchange students did not go to the college when they met the dean, but at a fishing spot.
This fishing spot is located in the largest open water area inside the second ring city wall, a large pond with an area of about 0.3 square kilometers, called "Dream Lake".
Normal people cannot enter the inner ring, and the exchange students are also brought through the checkpoint by the vice-principal. However, there are many fishermen on the edge of Meng Lake, and the dean is just one of them.
Speaking of which, Menghu Lake is actually a very important facility in the inner ring. It is the initial station for the ascending ceremony of the Saint and the Son, but it loses the sense of solemnity because it is surrounded by fishermen.
Although these old fishermen are all similar to ordinary old men, most of them who can fish here are priests, and there are more than one or two high priests like the dean.
The dean was not serious and asked the students to sit next to him and first talk about what they have done since leaving school.
The atmosphere in the old fishing area was very strange. The students deliberately lowered their voices, but there were still people nearby who moved a little further away and made another nest. It seemed that they were reluctant to leave the previous nest and left two fishing rods there.
She Niu Carter gave the lecture to the three students, and the other two supplemented the lecture. It took half an hour to talk about the matter almost.
When he finished speaking, the dean didn't respond, so he could only wait.
The few people were quiet for about ten minutes. The dean raised the fishing rod and a small fish, which was more than a palm long, came up.
He didn't want the fish, he just took off the hook and returned it to the lake. The movement made the fisherman next to him roll his eyes.
"He... Dean Wang Qi, what do you think?"
"He is a very good teacher and a very kind person." The female student commented.
Carter has a different view: "It's not like a teacher... I should say that he is not like any character type I know. He has a thorough understanding of how the whole world works. Maybe he is more like a legendary sage?"
During the trip, Carter was most impressed by currency-related topics. It’s not that there are no other types of topics, but Carter himself has no relevant knowledge and doesn’t know how to argue.
In Carter's own family, the most powerful one was the Kingdom of God, Omar, who became the Minister of Finance. Later, he was driven out of the center of power, and only then part of the family moved to the Fountain of Youth.
Through family inheritance, he could judge that Wang Qi's small lesson on currency did not have any logical problems. Even many factors that Carter originally thought were man-made factors actually existed in the entire currency development system. This kind of knowledge should definitely not be possessed by the dean of a normal magic academy, because the usefulness of this kind of knowledge to magic learning is even negative.
"Penal colony..."
The dean spoke out, but the words were not meant for the students.
When several fishing elders not far away heard this, they got up and walked away angrily, as if they were dissatisfied with the dean discussing business here.
Female student Beni was short of sight and asked: "Is he really going to take us to the penal colony?"
"I didn't say anything, you can judge for yourself." The dean is cunning and will not really tell the students information that only senior members of the Church of Life can know. "There is definitely a risk, but dean Wang Qi can let you come back at this time. , which makes me personally feel that the risk is limited.”
"Why will the danger be less if we come back? Are you planning to abandon us?"
The dean withdrew his gaze from the lake and did not stand up. He held a small stool with his hands under his hips and turned around to face Belanger and others who were asking questions.
"The danger itself will not change, it just has different effects on different people." He explained using the prophecy system, "For Dean Wang Qi and his people, the danger is clear, he just needs to find a way to deal with it. For you, because you know too little and have insufficient strength, the danger you face cannot be determined by your own will, but depends on other factors."
Neither Penny nor Carter had studied prophecy before, so they were confused.
Belanger understood, and continued to ask: "So you suggest we go?"
The dean did not answer directly, but said to himself: "It was Denise's decision to let you go to Black Forest College for exchange, and it was a bit hasty. Since you can come back, why not rest for a few more days, and I will go to life The academy is going to ask for a few people to come and set off with those of you who want to go."
These words silenced all three students.
From a student's point of view, a student from another magic academy in the same city, not to mention an enemy, is obviously an enemy. They are the kind of people who would stare at each other for several minutes when they see him on the street.
But putting aside the "group sentiment" of student status, looking at the facts alone, if there are students from the School of Life, the risk can indeed be further reduced.
Because students in the School of Life have a "divine arts course" that is not available at the Fountain of Youth Academy. The dean personally took the initiative to at least arrange for someone who has learned the resurrection technique.
It was Carter who came to his senses first: "Thank you, Dean."
The conversation ended here. Not far away, Denise took the students back, but the dean did not leave immediately and started fishing again.
After learning that Wang Qi was the "Saint Face" through the prophecy platform, the great priests in the Holy City had some conversations with the Sons and Saints. However, most of these conversations took place after Wang Qi left, and the conclusion was only It may be that there is no action.
This conclusion is related to the status of the Life Church itself.
To outsiders, it seems that the Church of Life is very powerful, mastering two kinds of resurrection magic, and can even perform rogue tactics like resurrecting matryoshka dolls.
But in fact, as one of the core secrets of the Church of Life, resurrection comes with a price—the vitality of the world. It includes not only humans, but also all animals and plants. If Wang Qi were to define it, it would be all material existences that rely on counter-entropy for survival.
This vitality is concentrated in the "Fountain of Youth", which is also the standard by which the Life Church judges whether the world is healthy.
Why doesn’t the Church of Life bloom all over the world and give people resurrection everywhere? This is the true resurrection, through which the church can easily gather pious faith, massive funds and even secular power.
The only reason is that "vitality" has its regeneration limit, and as the number of resurrected people increases, desertification expands and other factors, its limit will also be lowered.
In order to ensure that the holy city can at least be preserved as a habitat for mankind under any circumstances, the Life Church must ensure that there is a certain amount of "vitality".
】
This determines that the actions of the Life Church will only tend to be conservative, unlike the Church of Light, which is tormenting all over the world, let alone creating conditions for itself and going to exile.
But now that the other party has missed the opportunity to go home at the last stop, he has sent the students of Fountain of Youth Academy back to say goodbye, and he has learned that you can really learn something by following them there. Studying and communicating is a good excuse, and it will not appear unexpected.
There are many issues that students in the School of Life have to face.
First, can the Saint Facer really affect the direction of the entire Three Realms War?
Second, will resurrection and other divine spells be weakened, strengthened, or not used at all in today’s penal colony?
The last thing is the academic exchange itself, absorbing more knowledge and improving its own system.
