Chapter 246 Three Fables(1/2)
Sean walked out of the classroom and took a deep breath.
He slowly let go of his clenched fists. When he was talking to Ulysses just now, he almost couldn't help but take action to kill the other party.
Sean is very confident in his current strength. Although his divine power is not yet perfect, he is not as weak as Aum in the peak state, at least he should not be weaker than Aum in the Temple of the Gods.
It may be difficult to resist cannons in physical form, but carrying a bullet is easy, and it should be not difficult to deal with Ulysses.
But he didn't take action. First of all, Ulysses may not be the only mastermind behind the scenes. The life of this insect called Alaiya is so strange, it is hard to say that there will be no other agents.
Secondly, since Ulysses was symbiotically worms, he must have certain special abilities and cannot be regarded as the strength of ordinary people. If there is too much noise in a fight, it will be not very good. He does not want to reveal his identity.
Anyway, I am just a bystander in this incident, and at worst I can just run away, and there is no need to cause trouble.
Just go back and report the information to Yulia and let her worry about this.
Sean thought, so he walked towards his classroom. He still had classes to attend today.
Walking on the way to class, Shaun was still thinking about his previous thoughts. The name of Alaiya worm made Shaun think of the first thing he thought of was the City of Lalaiya. Could it be that there is any connection between the two?
But when I think about it, I feel it is unlikely that the city of Lalaiya is in the deep sea and has nothing to do with worms or something.
Another thing that can be thought of is Alaya consciousness, which seems to be a religious noun in Sanskrit, but after carefully recalling it, Shaun has long since lost his specific meaning...
Before I knew it, I arrived at the place where I was going to give a lecture. As soon as I entered the classroom, I saw a group of female students gathered together and were discussing something enthusiastically.
"Wow, it's so beautiful, it must have cost a lot of money."
"This was given to me by Count Duke. As a gift for engagement, it is said to have been passed down from the days of the kings. It is said to be worth thousands of gold pounds, and it is a treasure of his family."
A girl with a somewhat mature look said, showing off her gorgeous ornaments without any concealment.
Sean vaguely remembers that this girl seemed to be the daughter of a wealthy family.
In this era, marriages between nobles and rich men have become very common.
One party seeks social status, the other party seeks wealth, and each obtains what he earns, so many down-and-out nobles will find rich people to marry.
A girl said excitedly: "Wow, let's say so, we will call you the Countess soon!"
Another girl said sourly: "I heard that Earl Duke is already in his sixties?"
The girl who was ridiculed disagreed, "What's the big deal? If he dies, he can inherit the title and family business."
"The inherited title must have an heir..."
The meaning is very obvious. People are over 60 years old, can they still have children?
The girl showing off her jewelry smiled proudly, "Of course I have my own way."
Sean was sad for the discussion between the female students. The world was about to change drastically, and you are still studying jewelry and fighting.
A set of jewelry can feed the poor with a few thousand gold pounds. How many poor people can it feed? The Blaiton Kingdom has developed industry for so many years, and the continuous blood transfusions in the colonies outside Shanghai are definitely not because of the endless wealth. There are countless wealthy people in the sword castle. The reason why there are so many bankrupt poor people in the dark alley area and homeless people in the shelter is entirely because of the habit of exploiting the lower class.
It takes three feet of ice to be cold for a day. This kind of thing can no longer be changed when it reaches this point.
He listened to the topics of boys again, but he discussed where to go to attend the dance tonight, which theater launched a new show, and which actresses were good-looking.
Sean felt a little heavy. As the top institution in the Bladon Kingdom, most of the people who can study here are either rich or noble, and the worst is at least a well-off family. From these young people, it is not difficult to see the current trend and mentality of the upper class of Sword Castle.
Those rich businessmen and nobles probably would never have thought about the challenges their rule would face.
Sean coughed twice, causing the students to sit back to their seats and then start class.
Today, Sean did not explain literary skills and writing, but talked about the "historical stories". Sean still had some feelings for the students in front of him. He couldn't tell them what he knew, and no one believed him after saying it.
But I can also remind you that as for who can understand the profound meaning, it will go with the flow.
"I'm not in the mood to give a lecture today, so why don't we make a game."
When the students heard that they wanted to play games, they immediately became interested. This kind of thing was really new.
"Do you know the difference between reality and story? That is logic. Many times, what happens in real life will be even more outrageous by the stories created by literature. Because literature emphasizes logic, you must make readers believe it, so you can't write many things out, and you can't even imagine that such things will happen.
But reality has no logic at all, but there will be some very incredible bizarre events.
So today we don’t talk about skills, but the differences between stories and reality.
Next I will tell three stories, and all you have to do is guess whether I am telling a fictional story or a real event."
When the students heard the stories, they all cheered up.
“The first story is called ‘Why don’t you eat cake’.
Once upon a time there was a country where there was a beautiful queen. This country was very powerful, but the people were very poor. The king used money to enjoy pleasure and war, and his queen was naturally able to enjoy a luxurious life.
Although the queen is beautiful, she is very innocent and does not understand the crisis facing this kingdom.
One day a scholar told the queen that the people of her country were starving and that there was no bread for filling her belly, and that riots would occur if they continued.
The queen was very surprised, so she asked the scholars: "Since there is no bread, why don't they eat cake?"
After the story was told, the students reacted differently. Some couldn't help but laugh, while some students looked surprised and seemed to have thought of something.
Sean looked at everyone, "So do you think this is a fictional story or a real historical event?"
"I think it must be a story, how could there be such a stupid person?"
"But the professor said that reality is more outrageous than the story, so I think it is reality."
"I have never heard of such a thing. If it happened, it would definitely be written in history books, and it must be a story."
"It's reality." Suddenly someone said loudly with great certainty.
Sean looked at the sound, but it was Eric Lanster.
"Oh, nothing is so sure?"
Eric said with a weird look: "Because I've encountered something similar before, once I went to a party and heard someone telling me that there are many poor people in the Sword Castle slum, who are so poor that they have no clothes to wear.
Someone among the guests present at that time said, "Since you don't have clothes, why not wear fur?"
I think since such things have happened around me, it must have happened in history."
The students all showed contemplative expressions.
Sean laughed and nodded, "Yes, this is a real event, which happened in a distant country, you guessed it right."
"Professor Sean, can you ask, what happened to the beautiful queen in the end?"
"The kingdom finally had a riot, and was sent to the guillotine and died." Sean said with a calm expression, and a silence suddenly appeared around him.
The beheading of the dignified queen is very shocking in this era.
Sean took all the reactions of everyone, "Then continue with the next story."
“This story is called ‘Broken Eggs’.
Once upon a time, in a very distant country, a great nobleman initiated a rebellion and defeated the king and his army, and the king hid in the castle with his son.
At this time, the nobles sent envoys to ask the king to surrender and surrender the throne, and promised him that as long as he did so, he would spare him and would give him a lot of money to be a rich man.
The king hesitated for a while and finally agreed to the proposal, but the king's son firmly opposed it. He said, "Have my father ever seen the unbreakable eggs under the capsized bird's nest? If they leave the castle, the ending must be all killed."
The great nobles then made a vow that if they violated their promises, they would be punished by God, and the king believed the nobles' words.
He took his son out of the castle and surrendered.
After seeing the king, the nobles immediately repent and executed the king and his son."
The students' faces became a little heavy after hearing this. This kind of story about the post-king killing of the monarchy doesn't sound so wonderful to people of this era.
There are many people who argue about whether it is fiction or reality, and some people believe that as a noble person, they should not break their promises.
But those relatively realistic people believe that the promise itself is worthless in order to seize the throne.
"I think it's true." Eric suddenly said with great certainty, but did not say why.
Everyone looked at Sean again, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
Sean smiled slightly, "The answer is - this is true. Compared with the illusory destruction of heaven, the nobleman was obviously more worried that the king would betray him. Since someone always had to betray him, it would be better for him to do it first. Besides, he is a rebel himself, how can he believe his promise? In the end, the king and his son paid the price for his stupidity."
"What happened to him in the end?"
"Oh, he became the new king, and his family ruled that country for hundreds of years."
This ending obviously does not meet the standards of ordinary stories, and the students talked about it with different expressions.
Sean ignored it, “Okay, the last story, this story is called ‘King and the Wise’.
Once upon a time there was a king who had two sons.
One day his two sons met a wise man, who told them that all signs showed that a huge disaster was about to happen in their kingdom, and that only by escaping from the city could he survive.
The two sons immediately went to report to their father, hoping that the king could take them away.
But the king did not believe such nonsense, and as the king, he could not leave easily. He severely scolded his two sons, believing that these were nonsense.
Although the signs revealed by the wise man seemed to have been revealed, the king was reluctant to believe such a terrible theory.
After the two princes left, the eldest prince believed that he should obey his father's orders. As the king's heir, he could not abandon his kingdom, but the little prince had no concerns. He felt that he should listen to the opinions of the wise.
So the little prince secretly left the kingdom alone, while the big prince stayed.
There was a bloody rain in the sky that night, and the next day, a plague broke out in the city. In the end, the king and the eldest prince were all buried in the city. Only the little prince survived. Ten years later, when the plague subsided, the little prince returned to the kingdom and became the new king."
