The atmosphere in the classroom was serious. A group of professors, including Chaos Holy Priest Tlipoca, formed a circle. Iron Hammer stood alone in the circle, stiff with nervousness.
In full view of everyone, Li Liang placed the sorting hat on her head.
The brim of the hat immediately emitted a faint light, and everyone concentrated on waiting for the induction results.
However, time passed by and the Sorting Hat remained silent.
five minutes later.
The magic circle engraved on the inside of the hat dissipated, and the induction test failed.
Li Liang silently took off his hat.
After his personal enlightenment failed, he thought that the reason for the failure might be that the hammer itself was not compatible with the God of Chaos, so after the sorting ceremony was over, he asked for the Sorting Hats and tried them one by one. It was the last one just now, but the result was inconclusive. With one exception, all failed.
This situation is a bit embarrassing. The only human being with level 5 inspiration found so far is unable to enlighten...
"We only tried seven kinds, maybe...well," Old Tang wanted to find a way out, but even he couldn't convince himself. After all, the hammer's inspiration was so high, even if it was not in line with the gods, it shouldn't be nothing. reaction.
At this time.
Saolis, who was standing on the outside, said cautiously: "Maybe..."
Facing everyone's gaze, she held back the second half of her sentence.
"Say," Li Liang raised his hand to signal.
Saolis hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Hammer, do you believe in magic?"
Iron Hammer's face instantly turned red, he lowered his head and stared at his toes without saying a word.
"..."
"A waste of time," Ya Laili snorted and walked out of the classroom.
Tripoca vibrated the air, but the sound it made was still gentle: "This situation is very common, we should be more patient."
Soon, the professors left one after another.
Li Liang looked at the iron hammer with his head hanging almost to his chest, and remembered that the first lesson Tam taught him in Zhongjing was "believe".
Tam said that most civilizations in the fundamental world firmly believe in determinism and believe that everything or events in the universe are the result of natural laws, and this natural laws can be revealed through scientific methods. However, the first thing to do is to learn magic. , is to forget science, abandon all prejudices, and respond to the call of God with the original curiosity of life.
Only by believing that gods and magic are real, that magic spells are not ridiculous gibberish, and that everything felt in the heart is not weird hallucinations, can mortals be able to access the power of magic.
"Believing in magic" is very simple for many people, but for some it is a huge obstacle. For example, in the eyes of Dr. Xisen and all the creatures who believe in "psionic technology", gods are just the "personification" of some natural laws, and magic is Just another form of "psionic science".
Thinking of this, Li Liang raised his chin towards Saolis.
Saolis stepped forward, hugged the hammer, and said softly: "It doesn't matter, there are many. Great magicians have once stood in the way of disciples. The more determined a person is, the harder it is to change. You can learn magic theory and slowly understand magic."
"Yeah, don't worry," Old Tang spread his hands, "Only people like me who have no talent should worry."
"I," Saolis smiled and spoke stumblingly in Mandarin, "Why am I the only one who sees your problem? Because, they forget the feeling of being a disciple, and I have been blocking the disciples for a long time."
Perhaps moved by Seolisi's tenderness, Iron Hammer nodded imperceptibly.
Finally, Li Liang put the Sorting Hat on the little girl's head again, pinched her cheek, and said with a smile: "I declare that you belong to Gryffindor."
——————————
In the next three months, Li Liang felt that time went by very fast.
During the period from the civil war in Dros to the invasion of goblins, his time was measured in hours or even minutes. Every day was extremely long, and life or death was uncertain at every moment. But now, even meetings rarely require him to attend in person.
The world is more like a huge, precise and cold machine than before, rumbling forward along the direction of his will. Any force that tries to disrupt the order will be extinguished in an instant, and the small waves stirred up have not yet entered his sight. It will be wiped out.
Power formed a solid shell, which often made him feel that even though he was surrounded by people, the surroundings were still silent.
The plan proposed by Zero will gradually transform human society into a union of free people. The free development of each person is the condition for the free development of all people. At that time, "power" will naturally disappear.
However, the entire plan has lasted for hundreds of years, and it has just taken a small and insignificant step.
Li Liang sometimes thinks of Soft and the immortals imprisoned in the temple. Perhaps, after creating Xi'an and reshaping the world, they fell into the same situation as him and are trapped to this day.
Fortunately, what he faced was not a lonely universe, but a jungle-like spiritual world.
As General Bobby said, the danger of war is always there.
In the past three months, Li Liang has been to Shawu Realm twice.
The Yodel Federation not only masters psychic technology, but also has a large number of magicians. The construction project of the teleportation gate is progressing steadily, and the site is in order.
When he announced this cooperation plan at a high-level meeting, the participants agreed that this cooperation would be more beneficial to mankind than the Yodels. After all, mankind currently does not have the ability to build long-distance portals. Once the war breaks out, Shiwu will The world cannot achieve strategic depth in the true sense. In addition, any fleet that wants to pass through the extremely dangerous black mist can only be led by him or the monkey Zhizhi. This is equivalent to holding the key to and from the secret room and firmly taking the initiative in cooperation. .
The only risk is whether Zhizhi will be manipulated by a yordle.
Li Liang is not worried about this at all.
The core secret of the entire world of Chawu is Zhizhi. Maybe the greedy and lustful monkey is the owner of the black mist. He even hopes that someone will provoke the monkey so that he can take a chance to get a glimpse of its secrets.
Unfortunately, the monkey took charge at the construction site and kept the yordles in check.
In addition to the Chawu Realm, Li Liang has been to various jump points to observe the construction progress of satellite cities, to the moon base, to watch huge spacecraft parts moving on the assembly line, and to witness hundreds of androids lining up out of the manufacturing center.
He also spent some time downtown.
House and Mizuno control the Order Bureau and the gang respectively, maintaining law and order and secret executions, and the city seems to have become more orderly.
However, the place he went to most often was the Scholomance Academy. He often sneaked into the lecture theater quietly with Cain, sat in the last row, and listened to the teaching assistant explain the theory of magic. It felt like he was back in a university classroom.
The Temple of Chaos is located deep in Scholomance College. Holy Priest Tripoca moved all his belongings here, and the collection is vast. Sometimes he would fall asleep reading the story of a certain demigod in ancient times, and get lost in the lake. He heard the gods whispering in his ears, and when he woke up, he found Cain pillowing his legs, his face covered with a book, and breathing evenly.
Until that day, Saron, who was bored, decided to leave Kaishan City. Before leaving, he said again: "Demigod made of flesh, we think you are going to Creation Mountain. Only the Creation Titan can unlock the secrets you carry."
At the same time, the advance fleet that rushed to the four spiritual core mines sent back news that all the elf messengers responsible for the handover had left the country and that the spiritual core mines were ready to receive them.
