When Great Magician Kabambai found out that the Demon King had committed suicide in the past. The reason why the Brave Ones were able to defeat the Demon King was because the Demon King's Legion Commander had gone easy on them. Of course, there were also some Legion Commanders who were too stupid and fell for the ploy and were transferred to other places. For example, the Dark Legion Commander who only had one head left.
After hearing this, Kabambai only asked, "Sir, do you believe what that person said?"
"Does it matter if I believe it or not? It happened a thousand years ago, and almost all of the people involved are dead. This is truly a case of dead men telling no tales. " Seeing the old man hesitate, Lin said, "Besides, don't you think that this is a good thing for us?"
"A good thing?"
"It's that Fen resents those who betrayed her. At least they won't be able to unite and form the Dark Legion again. "
"Indeed." Great Magician Kabambai agreed. However, he still asked worriedly, "Are you sure they won't unite again?"
"At least we met a vampire before, and that vampire's father was one of the Legion Commanders of the Dark Legion. As soon as Finn heard the vampire's name, he beat the vampire into a pulp and killed him. In short, our Demon King isn't a magnanimous person. If it's true that those people betrayed her in the past, then there's no room for cooperation between the two of them. "
"Yes." Great Magician Kabambai casually replied, but his worry didn't lessen.
Looking at the confused old man, Lin said with a smile, "Actually, you don't have to worry so much. Everyone has a motive for doing something. As long as there is no motive, the other party won't do anything. In Fen's case, everything she did in the past was for revenge. She just chose a path that I don't know if it was easy or difficult. Of course, she brought irreparable damage to the Lost Land of that era. No one can deny that. However, I think that everyone deserves a second chance. Of course, the prerequisite is that they 'sincerely' repent, and not double-cross. She was imprisoned by the Great Sage Anatoly for a thousand years. This period of time was not only a punishment for her, but also time for the Lost Land to recover. At least now she doesn't do evil, and it seems that she is contributing her wisdom to the Lost Land. Isn't that good? "
Someone was working hard to clear Lich's name. She had no choice but to do so. When a certain Lich was resurrected, it taught her the knowledge from Earth in order to divert Si Fen's attention away from her past grudges. However, it seemed to be too successful. After Fen wholeheartedly immersed herself in the new knowledge, her strength actually increased.
Of course, Zhang Xuan wasn't too sure how much he had grown. But if she were to return to her old profession, then at least half of the people who died and were injured because of it would be blamed on her. A certain someone didn't want to live with such a heavy burden on his shoulders, so other than continuing to divert her attention, he tried his best to reduce the trouble that would spread to her.
As for the old magician, he was able to show an attitude of acceptance before today, but now, he was uncharacteristically worried. It was probably due to the stimulation in class that made him realize that the difference in strength between them wasn't as small as he originally thought. That was probably why he was so worried.
There was no solution to this. He could only wait for the person involved to come to terms with it.
A certain someone in front of him still had a math class to solve, and besides, he wasn't qualified to be an old man's spiritual mentor.
However, what was supposed to be a peaceful class was disrupted by a series of interludes.
First of all, the magicians who went to the Association to buy the 'Microscopic Eye' magic array came back to inform them that the Association hadn't approved this knowledge yet, so it wasn't publicly available. Therefore, the magicians who came back wanted to buy it from Lin himself.
Of course, this was a request made during the break time between classes. The magicians who came back weren't bold enough to interrupt the class. If they were targeted by hundreds of magicians at the same time, even if they didn't die, they would be crippled.
However, according to the usual procedures of the Association, after a magician turned in the knowledge to the Association, it would usually be approved within a day. It had already been a few days since Lin brought the Lich and the two apprentices to register and turn in the knowledge. Was this because the Association's headquarters in the Pfister District was busy, so the processing time was slower?
Because there was still a second class to go, Lin didn't have time to think about it. He just comforted the magicians and told them to wait until after class to deal with it.
The second incident was the sudden noise and vibration, which made a certain someone think that an earthquake had happened and almost rushed out. After that, even Lin himself found it funny. Sure enough, some deep-rooted ideas would suppress one's performance. He could've just used Blink and left, but he still thought about running to an open space to take refuge.
As the dean of the academy, Archmage Kabanbai was naturally concerned about this abnormal noise and vibration. However, he only ordered his students to check it out. He himself was working hard on the factorization method of higher order equations.
Then, the source of the commotion directly broke into the classroom.
A team of five inspectors, six or seven Warriors acting as meat shields, and eight or nine spectators, all of whom were Master Mages, swaggered into the classroom. No matter how Kabanbai's young students tried to stop them, they couldn't stop them.
The class was naturally interrupted. Although everyone was very unhappy, the magicians in the class didn't make trouble on the spot for the sake of Yellow Shawl. Instead, they glared at the uninvited guests with ugly expressions. Then, a certain someone on the podium just wondered if there was a fugitive among the people in the class. Otherwise, why would there be such a scene?
Should he suggest to the dean that if he came to math classes in the future, he would have to check his citizenship, just like the Lich's classes?
One of the inspectors unfolded a parchment and said, "Magician Guebrach Tripwood, —"
Why did this name sound so familiar? Did he know the criminal?
"— You are accused of being a thief of knowledge. Suspected of stealing the knowledge of the Murat family — mathematics. A member of the Murat family, Shang Murat, has filed this accusation. Considering that you were born in the border area of the southwest peninsula, you have no clean identity of Estari, and no protector, and it is rumored that you have committed more misdeeds. Today, the Society has ruled that Magician Guebrach Tripwood's conduct is not good, and the knowledge he turned over to the Society is suspected of stealing the wisdom of others. Therefore, the application for disclosure is rejected. You are also required to go to the Society of Sorcerers' headquarters for investigation and trial. "
…
"Yes, my lord, is there some misunderstanding?" Lin finally managed to squeeze out this sentence.
The magicians in the student seats began to whisper. Among the group of people who had barged into the classroom, there was a male magician who was dressed in fine clothes and looked more like a clown than a magician or a noble. He walked in front of the crowd and pointed at Lin, cursing, "Shut up, thief! You stole my family's secret knowledge and took it for yourself. You dare to openly teach it in public? Shame on you! You dare to say that this knowledge was obtained by your own research? "
"Of course not. My teachers are Gödel, Hilbert, Cantor, Riemann, Garova, Euler, Pang Jialai, Newton, Gauss, Fisher, Einstein, Liu Hui, Zhao Shuang, Jia Xian, Zu Chongzhi, Zu Yong, Yang Hui, Qin Jiushao, Zhu Shijie, Xu Guangqi, and Li Shanlan. It is because of all these teachers that I am who I am today. But I am very sure that none of these people have anything to do with the Murat family. "
"You …" The magician who had spoken was stunned. But the people who were listening in class now knew that the person in front of them had so many teachers. Then, everyone would be able to understand his achievements today and not treat him as a monster. But …
"Who are those people you are talking about? I've never heard of their names, "the person who had accused Lin asked in a flustered and exasperated manner.
"It's normal that you haven't heard of them, because they are not magicians."
As if he had caught on to something, the person said aggressively, "If they are not magicians, how could they have researched such knowledge!"
But it was this sentence that made the magicians who had listened to several classes frown. Mathematics really had nothing to do with magic. It was not surprising that someone who was not a magician had researched it.
And to this unreasonable person in front of him who had come out of nowhere, Lin asked again, "I have no objection that people who are not magicians are not worthy of your attention. But please allow a country bumpkin like me to ask one more question. Is your family's base in the southwest peninsula where I was born? "
"How is that possible! The Murat family is one of the ancient families in the Holy City of Estale. They have lived here for generations, "the man said proudly.
"This means that I, a thief, must have traveled from the southwest peninsula to the Holy City at least ten years ago. After stealing mathematical knowledge from your family, I had to make a long journey back to the southwest peninsula. After that, I used mathematics as a foundation to transform the Tower of the Great Sage, create forums and shopping malls, and research and write P language together with Fanny. Finally, I had to make another trip back to this place where I committed the crime, so that you could catch me red-handed. Well, sorry, with my country bumpkin wisdom, I only feel that this is very unreasonable. Perhaps someone as noble as you can give me a reasonable explanation. "
"You … I …" the magician stammered. "It was your teachers who stole mathematical knowledge from my family. You shouldn't have learned this, and you shouldn't have taken it for yourself! "
"First you say I stole it, then you say it was my teachers who stole it. Could it be that my teachers stole your knowledge hundreds of years ago? Why don't you first determine who the culprit is before coming to make trouble for me? Besides, only people in your family can research the same knowledge. Others are idiots who can't research similar things. Is that so? After the first Fireball spell appeared in the world, other magicians weren't allowed to research fire. Is that so? … "
Against this group of clowns, using such a crude and flawed method, Lin Zhen felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a fly. He decided to counterattack and shoot his mouth back. He also wanted to disgust the other party.
"… Also, if the Murat family really mastered mathematical knowledge even earlier, then what's the reason for not making it public? Is it the same as a forbidden spell that must be carefully guarded? Then, you came to me today because you want to continue to monopolize this knowledge. Then I'd like to ask, what benefits are there that you don't allow mathematical knowledge to spread outside? Oh, or perhaps it should be taboo or restriction. Don't use such a utilitarian perspective to criticize your family's intentions. "
