Sean nodded, "Professor Ulysses, what a coincidence, we're meeting again."

The two shook hands, and Sean looked at the white-haired old man in front of him. He looked very energetic and happy.

"In fact, considering that we are all teaching in this university, it's only a matter of time before we meet again, it's no coincidence. Do you think so?" The old man said seriously, suddenly smiled and didn't see him. He pulled a chair and sat down, "So what are you talking about?"

"We are talking about the impact of war on the school." Professor Spencer seemed to have an inexplicable respect for Ulysses, and said politely and even somewhat respectfully.

"Ah, war - indeed, war affects everyone. It fills hospitals with wounded people, keeps factories running, makes merchants make a fortune, allows soldiers to gain their glory on the battlefield, and gives us professors enough topics to pass the boring time."

But to be honest, I don't think there is really anything worth discussing in war. Kings fight for money and interests like wild dogs fighting for food. After all, it's just a boring game."

This made a young assistant teacher on the side suddenly look unhappy when he listened, "How can you say that? War is related to the interests of the people, the rise and fall of the kingdom, what else can be more important than war? Comparing the king to a wild dog is simply blasphemy!"

The old man looked at the young assistant teacher and smiled, as if facing the questioning of the ignorant child, with a tolerant expression on his face.

"Young man, do you know how many wars the Kingdom of Brighton has experienced in the last fifty years?" After he said that, he did not wait for the assistant's answer, but announced the answer directly.

17 wars, after 47 years, only three years of peace were spent in these fifty years, and the rest of the time was war.

Some of them won, but some lost, but the Kingdom of Brighton is still here, so don’t be too naive to be young people. For countries like the Kingdom of Brighton, war is just a game of fighting for interests.”

The assistant coach was speechless and left in angrily.

The old man looked around and several professors in the lounge were attracted by the debate. Ulysses smiled, "It's better not to talk about these boring things. It's better to talk about more meaningful topics, those crystallizations of human wisdom, those great innovations that are enough to change the world and leave traces in human history - have you heard that a chemist in Fort Dirk invented a lemon-flavored sparkling water, which is said to be very magical, and adding ice to drink is better. I think this is enough to leave a deep mark in history."

Everyone looked at each other after hearing this. The topic changed from the national war to the bubble water instantly. The span was too big.

And so on...what's there anything to discuss.

Ulysses smiled at the speechless expressions of everyone, "Why don't you speak? You must know that the Kingdom of Brighton is a country famous for its technology, and Swordburgh University is the best institution of learning in the Kingdom of Brighton. From this we can see that everyone here may be the smartest group of people in the world. Can't you say some insightful words?"

This made Sean laugh a little, but he didn't expect that this old man would be quite good at slapping people.

"I am afraid that scholars of the empire would not think so." Gary, a professor in the philosophy department who was reading a newspaper, suddenly joined the discussion.

He put down the newspaper and looked at Ulysses with a little scrutiny, "If I remember correctly, Professor Ulysses is a scholar from the Empire."

The so-called empire has only one country in the Eastern Continent, and that is the Bacchus Empire, which was the Eternal Empire. This country has briefly unified the Eastern Continent. Its supreme ruler claims to be the emperor, claiming to establish a dynasty with its own sacred bloodline and rule the world for eternity. However, in less than a hundred years, the Bacchus Empire fell apart and split several countries such as the Farius Kingdom, the Kingdom of Salay, the Principality of Lokatin.

In the end, only the imperial capital Bax City and more than a dozen surrounding cities remained in the land, but the title of empire was inherited. Due to geographical advantages and powerful military industry, the Bax Empire was continued. Although its influence was no longer the same as before, it became the cultural center of the Eastern Continent.

The Bucks Empire University is considered a holy place for scholars and a place where worldly civilization and academic gatherings.

Sean also reacted at this time, Ulysses Evantus, the name is indeed very Bucks-style.

Ulysses nodded calmly, "Yes, I do come from Bucks, but the university of the Empire has long been corrupt and degenerate, becoming a arena for academic bureaucrats to fight for power and profit. It has long lost the compatible academic atmosphere of the past. I have been there for ten years and witnessed everything with my own eyes, so I am not nostalgic for that place.

But at Jianbao University, you can always hear some unique voices."

Sean said: "So what topic does Professor Ulysses think are more meaningful? - besides sparkling water."

Ulysses seemed to be waiting for someone to ask questions.

"There are many secrets in this world, many unknown ancient legends, and the truth of the world still retains mysteries to us. We say that we are only exposed to a small part of the real world. Extraordinary power does exist. I have traveled to many countries and have seen things that ordinary people cannot imagine with their own eyes.

Therefore, I can't help but think about what the meaning of life is? After a few short decades, I die in vain? I turn into dead bones and rotten meat in the grave and become food for insects?

No, I will never accept such an ending, so I explore the ancient legend and search for the words left by ancient civilizations. Compared with the short life of mankind, the mysterious eternity is the truly meaningful death.

Don't you think so?"

Everyone suddenly showed subtle and complex expressions, conveying their eyes to each other. Sean understood what everyone was thinking, but in fact he was a little surprised - this old guy had a lot of feelings with Alhaz.

The old man was not surprised by the reaction of everyone. He smiled mysteriously: "I know what you are thinking. Oh, this poor old man was confused by the legends passed down from ancient times. He actually regarded the things in the myth as real, and he was arrogant about eternity and extraordinary power...

Tsk tsk tsk, once upon a time I also viewed the scholar who explained all this to me.

But when the real mystery appears before my eyes, I realize how ignorant I was in the past.”

He said, glanced at everyone's surprise reaction and smiled slightly: "Yes, I have achieved initial results in the study of occultism - it's a pity that no one who has vision and like-minded people share this valuable knowledge with me."

This made everyone stunned and shocked, especially Sean. He was not surprised that the old man had achieved results in his research on mystics. After experiencing so many things, he had long been accustomed to the mysterious power and other things.
