Everyone knew that the old professor was so angry that no one dared to approach him. This made it convenient for Liao Ji to easily reach the old professor with pale temples.
"Professor Eins, I think what you just scolded was so good and so enjoyable! It helped me a lot. Thank you very much. But I still have a few questions to ask you about what you just said. I don't know."
The old professor glanced at the young man who took the initiative to talk to him.
For some reason, he felt that this young man was quite pleasing to his eyes. In addition, he was in a bad mood right now and was not in the mood to do any more research for a while. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to answer the doubts of the younger generations? The research direction of ancient science is to prevent this bad trend from happening again in the future.
So he nodded and said to Liao Ji: "Tell me what you want to ask."
"Professor, I've been doing research on elven species recently, so can you please elaborate more on the connection between the soul, the World Tree, and the elven species?"
Study elves?
This is really rare.
Because of the closed nature of the Forest Alliance, there is generally not much market for this kind of paper. Few scholars study in this area. After all, they cannot get much funding. It can be said that they are purely for love.
There are fewer and fewer young people like this who are purely interested in academics. They are rare and precious. So Eins's attitude towards Liao Ji has improved a lot. He patiently explained:
"Elves are born from nature, and the World Tree is like the mother of the entire ethnic group to them."
"The World Tree has the strange ability to connect all things, including souls, so there is a legend that the soul of every elf after death will become a leaf of the World Tree, and the sacred World Tree connects every elf. Therefore For elves, in a sense, they are not afraid of physical death, the soul is their pursuit."
Hearing this, Liao Ji couldn't help but interrupt before Eins could finish speaking:
"So Professor, if an elf gives her body to someone else, does that mean that it actually has no impact on her and that her soul will remain in the World Tree?"
"No, what you said is not completely right. In theory, elves can indeed hand over their bodies to others, but in fact it is not realistic at all. There are two reasons. One is that this requires extremely powerful control. I am afraid that the peak elf species Even the bodyguards can’t do it, maybe only Rena-sama, who is a magician, can do it, right?”
"The second is that elves have severe mysophobia, and they are different from mechanical life. Mechanical life may be able to completely get rid of the physical body and exist in the world tree in the form of digital life, but elves cannot. If their souls want to maintain activity, they must We need a new carrier, and let a noble and highly mysophobic elf put his soul into another body."
Professor Eins shook his head, as if it was beyond his imagination.
The old professor's knowledge was not available in the game, and it was of great help to Liao Ji, making him feel as if he had grasped something.
Later, Liao Ji asked the old professor for some other advice.
For example.
"Professor, I have a friend who has always been curious. Is the fertility of demi-humans really that powerful? Is there any way to prevent them from having fewer children?"
"There are a lot of demihumans, but the demand is also huge. Just pay attention to moderation. As long as you control the raw materials, no matter how powerful the workshop is, it won't be able to mass produce."
Liao Ji nodded in a learned manner, and while taking academic notes carefully, he asked again:
"Professor, I have a friend who studies mechanical life. He just kissed an android. According to your words, can that android really have children?"
“This depends on the complexity of your genetic material and the computing power of the android. In addition, all currently known androids do not have a reproduction module.
Seeing that Liao Ji had a strong tendency to continue asking questions, Professor Eins couldn't stand it anymore. These questions were getting more and more deviant, so he waved his hand.
"Okay, let's do this for now. I have a topic about witches later. You can come see me again when you have time."
Just as the old professor was about to leave, Liao Ji asked directly: "The witch subject? Does the professor mean the predecessor of the goddess of the Holy Kingdom?"
This made the old professor stop again and look back with surprise.
"Kyle Technology also gave you this topic? Yes, I think the hypothesis they proposed is quite interesting. The goddess is actually an ordinary village girl, because she encountered many betrayals and deceptions on her way to escape. , only to be crazily influxed by Zhuo'e, the emperor may have discovered the potential of the goddess a long time ago, so he let her go through these trials, and finally appear at the critical moment, help the witch in one fell swoop, and transform into the saint she is today."
As soon as he mentioned something related to the Great Emperor, the old professor became elated and energetic, but Liao Ji shook his head and refuted.
"Well, Professor, I think that maybe the emperor met the goddess without so many complex calculations, it was just a coincidence? As for the Pudu Witch, I don't think so. Maybe the emperor just took her in and gave her a mouthful of rice and water? What really defeats Zhuo E's will is her own kind heart?"
Liao Ji's words made the old professor frown, and he immediately asked: "According to what you said, is it possible that the remaining four personal guards were all encountered by the emperor by chance?"
"At least I think this is the case for Zero and Nine. The Empress was like this. Zero was accidentally found in a scrapyard. According to my research, the Empress was probably an arena gladiator during her lifetime. The Emperor happened to watch that show. I just happened to like her during the competition."
Professor Eins had provided him with a lot of help before. Liao Ji actually wanted to help the old professor here, intentionally or unintentionally. He wanted to tell more stories about the past, which might be helpful to his research on ancient studies. .
But obviously.
The old professor frowned even more, and finally turned into a long sigh and patted Liao Ji on the shoulder.
"Young man, don't look at the appearance of everything. Many seemingly random things have inevitable consequences behind them. The emperor is far-sighted and may have been secretly paying attention to these potential seeds, whether it is a garbage dump, an arena, everything. .But it’s all arranged by the Emperor.”
Seeing that Liao Ji's lips were moving slightly and he wanted to refute, the old professor raised his hand and interrupted directly, saying that he didn't want to listen, or that there was no value in communicating.
"Young man, I see that you are not very old. It is normal for you to feel this kind of destined romance between the emperor and his bodyguard."
"But if you have a little more experience, you will know that the emperor is a frighteningly sane person, a man who can abandon everything, even the emperor himself. The emperor always wears a cloak, never buys other clothes, and never purchases any real estate. There has never been any record of enjoyment. The Emperor used every resource and used all means to achieve one goal, which is to defeat Zhuo E and save the world."
"If you look at history carefully, you will know that there must be a deep meaning behind every step of the emperor. Every time, he can achieve great results and gain a lot. One time was luck, but the two, three, and three times were all luck? Obviously? No, perhaps only the Emperor himself knows the layers of design involved."
Professor Eins didn't know why. Normally he wouldn't talk so much, but today he seemed to have a lot of emotions towards this young man, so he couldn't help but ask:
"Young man, what is your name?"
"Liao Ji."
"Xiao Liao, the water here is very deep. You can't grasp it now. You should study it for a few more decades."
Liao Ji Oh no, Xiao Liao stopped talking.
But in the end it turned into a nod, affirming the old professor.
"The professor's criticism is reasonable. I will definitely keep it in mind and reflect on it."
