Chapter 088 Chapter 88

The Silver Kingdom is located in the Western Continent, separated from the United States by a narrow strait. It is the country with the longest history in the Western Continent. Its long history means it has a unique traditional culture and various myths and legends.

The oldest legend in the Silver Kingdom is the story of the Knight King and his wizard mentor. Of course, there are also legends that the powerful wizard is the Knight King's attendant. The story of The Sword in the Stone also originated from this country.

But in modern times, the stories about wizards and the Knights of the Round Table are only preserved in certain books of mythology and legends, and many modern people regard them as ordinary stories. Perhaps the prototype of the Knight King did exist in history, but the magical wizard who could change the world by waving his wand has always been considered a fictional character and does not really exist.

But since the emergence of strange live broadcasts, modern people have begun to doubt everything. Some people even think that the stories in myths and legends may not be completely false. Whether it is waving a magic wand to bring magical magic, or stepping on a sword to fly, or drawing talismans to burn, maybe they are all true.

Of course it is possible that whether it is a weird live broadcast or a myth, there may be a scientific way to explain it.

It's like there was a famous haunted house in the Western Continent. Everyone who lived in it either died or went crazy. Finally, the last owner who bought the house, after losing three daughters in succession, dug up the house in anger and saw dense cables under the ground. Then he found the reason why all the people who lived there went crazy or even died.

If something invisible and intangible can harm the human brain, then there must be an explanation for why something equally invisible and intangible can distort space, create monsters, and so on.

Especially since the news that a supernatural event will soon arrive has spread all over the world, and all countries with internet access are hearing about it. In addition to training yourself and preparing food and weapons, studying myths and legends may also be a way to save yourself.

Maybe, while studying various mysterious ancient books, you might suddenly discover something like a magic circle that can repel or even kill monsters.

At least in Western China, many universities in many countries have opened courses on the study of mythology. Every day, the classrooms are filled with people who sign up for classes. The number of people is so large that even the teachers are worried and have to open a live broadcast platform on the campus website. In addition to attending classes in person, you can also watch the lectures through live broadcasts. However, the disadvantage of live classes is that you cannot ask questions on the spot.

The lecturer who specialized in history and mythology immediately grabbed the spot.

One school that followed suit and quickly opened several historical mythology courses was Kweichow University in Silver Country.

In the lecture hall, a man dressed as an old professor with a white beard was telling the story of the Knight King on the stage: "The prototype of the Knight King is believed to be a leader in the early sixth century. Many of the stories about the Knight King that have been passed down today are pieced together. I believe the same is true for the great wizard next to him. Although he may not exist, the related stories all come from real historical legendary figures..."

The old professor was speaking enthusiastically. He stopped to take a sip of Coke and then signaled the students to ask questions.

The young man in a short-sleeved shirt raised his hand. “I wonder if witchcraft was real in the past.”

"If it was in the past, I would tell you no." The old professor touched his chin, "But now, I am not sure. But I believe that even if there is some magical power, it can be explained by scientific methods in the end. Just like in the past, people could not understand why fire could burn in mid-air and regarded it as the power of ghosts, but now we know that it is a natural phenomenon caused by burning phosphorus."

A blonde girl raised her hand. "So we can hope to learn witchcraft ourselves?"

"Well..." The old professor thought for a moment, "If no one tied you up and burned you."

These words made the students below burst into laughter.

Long ago, the Silver Kingdom was also one of the countries where witch hunts took place. But in modern times, all religions that once declared the extermination of witches have abandoned this doctrine. Although there are still some fanatics who believe that witches are evil, they will not hold torches and burn people to death without reason like in the ignorant past. They will just spit a few words.

There is even a story about wizards that is popular among many people, which shows that times have changed.

Therefore, the students just laughed it off in response to the old professor's jokes.

The class ended quickly. The students stood up and put away their books and cups. The old professor also took his things and left the classroom.

Enol had packed his things long ago, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he trotted to the table of the blonde girl and said, "Hey, Linda, do you want to have lunch together at noon?"

Linda took out a small white earphone and put it in her ears. She looked at Enol with a smile. Just when the other party thought the girl was going to agree, Linda said, "No."

After saying that, he turned and left, smiling at Enol before leaving.

She didn't dislike Enol, but it was clear that their relationship was not yet at the point where they could have lunch together.

Ainol felt a little disappointed. A yellow-skinned Oriental man came over and patted Ainol on the shoulder: "At least she smiled at you this time, right? Try harder next time."

"Okay, you're right." Enol perked up again, "I'll definitely make an appointment next time. Thank you, Pu."

Park Sung-hyun shrugged and said, "We can be the closest roommates. Let's go."

The two left the classroom together.

A dark-skinned boy in front of him was playing basketball and ran over. He bumped into Park Sung-hyun, who shouted unhappily, "Hey, be careful!"

The dark-skinned guy raised his eyebrows and gave Park Sung-hyun a middle finger, which made Park Sung-hyun so angry that he almost chased after him.

"Calm down." Enol hooked his hand around Park Sung-hyun's neck, "That guy must have lost the game again. Ignore him."

Park Sung-hyun cursed in his own language, but Enor didn't understand and didn't care. He just asked, "Recently, many international students have dropped out of school and returned to their own countries. Park, don't you plan to return to Han Country?"

Park Sung-hyun: "Take a leave of absence? Just because I don't know if the weird thing will really come? Forget it, I have finally completed all the credits. Taking a leave of absence means that all those credits will be wasted. I will have to take many credits again."

"Compared to credits, your own life is more important." Enol said, "Many people who live far away from home have applied for leave of absence. Your family is in the Eastern Continent. If something happens, it won't be easy to go home."

"It doesn't matter." Park Sung-hyun picked up his phone, checked the time, and then put it back in his pocket. "My family situation is complicated. Even if the weirdness really happens, not going back might be the best choice. They look down on me anyway."

"That sounds terrible."

"Nothing, it's just about money and heirs. My grandfather has a big company that needs someone to inherit it. There are too many qualified people. If I go back, I will be an eyesore to some people." Park Sung-hyun smiled and said, "I feel more comfortable here."

Enor nodded: "I know, this is the competition for the throne, right?"

Park Sung-hyun laughed out loud: "It's not that exaggerated. Although my grandfather's company is quite powerful and its business has expanded overseas. Ah, if the weirdness really comes, the business will plummet. My family's company is in the cosmetics business. If the world really goes into chaos, those non-essential items will be discarded first."

As they were talking, they had already returned to the dormitory building.

There was a small path between the male and female dormitories at KU. On the way back, I passed by a few girls who were talking in low voices. One of them said, "I don't want to live here anymore. I'm going to take a leave of absence and go home. If nothing happens in half a month, I'll come back."

"Why? Even if something strange happens, your home is very close to here, you can go back anytime. Why do you want to drop out of school and go home? You have your parents to take care of you at home, how can you be more comfortable than living in a dormitory outside?"

"Because this is the dormitory building of KU University. Don't you know the history of this university before it was built?"

Hearing this, Ainol and Park Sung-hyun both stopped walking. Coincidentally, the girls also stopped, just a few meters away from the two boys, and they stood by the path and started talking.

"What history? I studied in the United States and don't know the history here."

"I don't know either."

"Okay, I know you are not interested in history. This university has a history of nearly two hundred years. Two hundred years ago, this piece of land was a very famous prison. And do you know where the main execution ground for hanging prisoners was built? It is on the land below our dormitory!"

After hearing this, the girls all turned pale. This was the first time they had heard such a historical story.

“How terrible.”

"So if I dig down I can find the ropes that were used long ago?"

"If there really was such a thing, it would have rotted away long ago."

"Wake up. Even if this was an old prison where prisoners were strangled, it doesn't mean that this will happen here..."

The girl paused in the middle of her words. She suddenly remembered that things were different now. The emergence of strange live broadcasts made everything different. Things that she had firmly believed would never happen before were really hard to say in the future.

"We don't have to drop out of school. Can't we just rent a place outside?"

"It's safest to go home at this time."

Several girls walked away while talking.

Ainol looked at Park Sung-hyun.

Park Sung-hyun shook his head: "I don't plan to drop out of school, and I don't want to move away from here."

He was really determined about this matter.

"Even if something strange really happens here, my thoughts will not change." Park Sung-hyun emphasized.

Just as he finished speaking, a gray mist suddenly appeared, enveloping the two of them, along with the dormitory building and a patch of grass.

Park Sung-hyun: …
