What the f * ck?!
Lu Sheng finally understood why the real cultists didn't try to recruit them even though they were so devout. This IQ of his would only bring trouble to himself.
Rofra's hearing wasn't as sharp as Lu Sheng's, so she could only vaguely hear some sounds.
Forcing a smile, Lu Sheng asked about Rofra's current situation, and she answered all of his questions respectfully.
"If you have any trouble, you can come to me. Maybe I can help you. If it's within my capabilities. "Lu Sheng decided to recruit someone else. Without the church noticing, the more priests he prayed to the Anti-Void, the more likely he would attract the attention of the Chaos Demon.
"I've already troubled you a lot …" Rofra said guiltily. Looking at her teacher in front of her, she recalled the dark scene hidden in the church. For a moment, she couldn't help but want to talk to him, but what use would that be?
Other than dragging her teacher down, there would be no result. Against the powerful church, no one would be able to break free from such a vortex.
"Don't be afraid. If you're afraid, you can try chanting this in your heart. " Lu Sheng took out a piece of paper from his pocket, tore it in half, and wrote down the modified sacrificial incantation on it.
"This is a prayer I made up after I became a psychologist. It can use the power of sound to comfort yourself, and calm the fear and anxiety in your heart. Take it. "
He stuffed the paper into the girl's hands.
"Go, child. May the holy light protect you."
"Thank you, teacher. The Lord will definitely protect a good person like you." Rofra gratefully held the paper and knelt again, watching as Lu Sheng walked through the door until the door closed. Only then did she open the paper in her hand and read it carefully.
There was not much content on it. There was only one paragraph, an inexplicable prayer mixed with syllables.
At the end, it reminded her not to spread it.
Rofra read it again, and found that her heart was actually calming down a little.
It was as if she had found a life-saving straw. She clenched the paper tightly, gratefully bowed towards Teacher Ysera's door, and turned to leave.
Even on the way to the church, she kept reciting these magical words.
"It won't do to just chant silently without offering sacrifices. It won't attract the attention of the Anti-Void at all, "Lu Sheng leaned against the door and thought quietly.
"Then, what kind of people are willing to take the initiative to collect offerings and seek help from the Chaos Demons of the Anti-Void?"
"The answer is someone who has lost all hope." Lu Sheng smiled. He had found his target.
In such a dark era, other things might be lacking, but the one thing that was not lacking was despair.
…
…
Three days later, at the Wisteria Academy.
The graduating students and Lu Sheng had a final gathering in the academy. It was considered a banquet to thank him as a teacher.
The fees were shared equally by all the students and paid to the academy's canteen.
The location was set in the classroom where they were having class. This was the fourth one, and it was held exclusively for Ysera.
Ysera was one of the lecturers. At the same time, because of his kind heart and extremely beautiful appearance, he was very popular among the students. Many men and women had an obscure admiration for him.
In the entire class, there were three male students and seventeen female students, for a total of twenty people. The banquet was a buffet, and everyone ate their own food.
There was a chef from the canteen who barbecued lamb chops for everyone. There were many fruits and dishes on the long table.
However, the atmosphere in the banquet hall was a bit depressing.
Because more than half of the girls present would have to face the fate of marriage arranged by their families after graduation.
This was irresistible, just like how they enjoyed the good life of their families since they were born. After studying in the academy, they learned etiquette, dance, music, mathematics, and other knowledge to improve their self-cultivation.
And these, to a large extent, were for the sake of marrying a better family in the future.
No one liked this arrangement. The girls whispered among themselves, their faces and eyes showing uneasiness and fear for their future. Even the most obedient girls were at most submissive and numb.
After all, no one would have feelings and expectations for a fiancé that they had never met.
All the teachers' banquets were held separately.
And today, it was Ysera's turn to receive this teacher appreciation banquet.
He sat alone among a group of students, smiling as he listened to the students stand up one by one to thank him and bid him farewell. He was no different from a normal lecturer.
Over the past few days, he had already begun to improve and strengthen his body.
He did not use his main body's power. Instead, he used his Mental Energy to improve the basic sword thrusting technique that this body had already mastered.
In a few days, he improved the sword thrusting technique that was originally only level nine to more than 300 levels. He could barely protect himself now.
Then, after studying the rules of this world, he used his strengthened body to successfully activate a trace of the supernatural power unique to this world.
It was a special power contained in blood. It was somewhat similar to vampires, using blood to obtain greater power and longevity.
Even without relying on his main body, Lu Sheng quickly deduced the advanced level of this blood power with Deep Blue. It was a light silver blood essence.
He named this blood essence Mercury Blood.
And now, it was time to truly expand the scale of the ritual …
Although he could fight alone, the efficiency was too low. Moreover, the Anti-Void had already remembered his spirit. If he personally performed the ritual, the other side would definitely not open the door.
He had to hide and find a completely unrelated person to perform the ritual. Only then could he successfully paralyze the Chaos Demon. As long as there was a small opening, he could sneak in and cooperate with Xining and the others to charge into the Hundun Clan.
"… I sincerely hope that Master Ysera can find his other half the next time the wisteria blossoms. Thank you for the teachings you've given us over the past three years." The last silver-haired girl bowed deeply at Lu Sheng. Only then did this ceremony of taking turns come to an end.
Next, the 20 students all looked at Lu Sheng.
His speech would mark the end of this teacher appreciation banquet.
Lu Sheng slowly stood up.
"I'm sure you're all tired of listening to the other teachers, so I'll leave it at that." He had a relaxed smile on his face.
"If that's the case, I'll do something practical." He paused and looked around at the crowd.
"I believe that most of the people here will face the helplessness of marriage and family distribution after graduation."
The students all quieted down. Those who were distracted before, were surprised to hear Lu Sheng point out their predicament in such a straightforward manner.
He noticed that everyone's eyes were on him. Lu Sheng raised his glass and let the light blue liquid slide into his mouth.
"Do you know why you're facing such a predicament?" He smiled. "The boys among you have no choice but to accept your family's arrangement and marry a woman you don't even know. The girls have no choice, they might even be married to an old man over 50 years old. "
"Teacher, what are you trying to say? Can you be more direct? "A girl with a ponytail said lightly.
She was the most prominent among the group of female students, and her name was Rolynn Shatter. She was the 37th princess of the Empire.
There were more than 300 princes and princesses in the Empire, scattered all over the country. Although many of them were of high status, their lives were even worse than those of the nobles.
She wasn't the only princess in the Wisteria Academy, there were more than 10 others. But she was the only one who happened to be in Ysera's class.
"What I want to say is …" Lu Sheng stood up. He put down his glass. His arm gently drew a strange arc, and a strange hand gesture flashed between his ten fingers.
The students didn't notice this detail at all, they only heard his words and focused on Lu Sheng's face.
They were looking forward to this teacher who had always been good to them, to give them a good suggestion at the last banquet.
Although everyone knew that it was very unlikely.
Lu Sheng smiled and put his hands on the table.
"You're missing one thing."
"Something that can help you escape this kind of life."
"Teacher, what is it? Just say it. "A slightly chubby girl stood up and said hurriedly. There was a bit of expectation on her face.
No matter how much they learned etiquette, they were still not even 20 years old. They were about to mature, but still needed a bit of training.
Immature, immature, impetuous, inexperienced, and … easy to incite. These were the common characteristics of people at this age.
Perhaps there would be a few who would stay clear-headed, but that was meaningless. When everyone around them behaved the same way, a few scattered people were not worth worrying about.
The torrent of ideas would wrap around them and rush into the frenzy together.
"It's power!"
The smile on Lu Sheng's face slowly subsided, replaced by a solemn expression.
"You face the fear of giving birth, the fear of being dominated, the fear of no one to protect you." Lu Sheng used three parallels to highlight his point.
"But why do other brothers and sisters not have this kind of trouble? You should think about your surroundings, what kind of peers around you can avoid this kind of predicament? "
Many of the students present were a bit stunned after hearing this. Princess Rolynn breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't the content of a cult that she had guessed, but just the spread of unusual ideas. Such a trend of ideas was not uncommon in the circle of nobles nowadays, and many eloquent debaters would lobby those in power everywhere.
Most of them used this kind of method to lead the ignorant into their own trap.
But at this time, she also had to admit that what this teacher said was indeed the key reason for the predicament they were facing.
"So, what do you mean?" Rolynn was silent for a moment, then asked aloud.
Lu Sheng opened his arms.
"Power! Only by mastering power! You can control your own destiny! "
"Reproduction is just a symbol of the incompetent and weak. Because they are entrusting the parts of themselves that they can't achieve to the next generation. "
"And the real strong don't need to have children!"
