It seemed that Teacher Theresa, who was at the front of the classroom, was about to get to the important part.
Even Lanqi sat up straighter.
"There are thirty-two [Original Slates] in this world. Each one is the pinnacle of epic magic cards, corresponding to the pinnacle of a certain type of magic."
"But unlike normal epic cards that would disappear into history, the [Original Slate] can be passed down forever!"
On the semicircular gray wooden podium, Teacher Theresa's voice was clear and infectious. She raised her arm and pointed to a slate image and its identification effect used as an example on the magic projection screen.
[Original Slate-Wind]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Level: Orange Epic]
[Attribute: Wind]
[Level: 5]
[Passive effect: The original slate cannot be destroyed. Only living beings in this world can be soul-bound. A maximum of one can be bound. All wind attribute magic, martial arts, equipment, and summons are fully enhanced. The slate will be unbound when the soul-bound person dies.]
[Note: All things in the world will eventually be reborn, and the wind will always blow across this land.]
The three-dimensional rotating projection on the screen is a thin and small ancient stone floating board. The streamlined edges and faint magic patterns seem to be telling a story of tens of millions of years. The texture of the stone is warm, and the color has become deep and full due to the baptism of time.
On the intricate and mysterious magic spells, those tiny spirals are like the traces of stars across the night sky, brilliant and secretive, and seem to contain wisdom and deep power that cannot be erased even if the world is destroyed.
"This is the [Original Slate - Wind] held by Mr. Loren, the high priest of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny, and it is on display. It looks like a product of God, and it also looks like it was left by ancient sages. It has obvious traces of magic technology transformation."
Teacher Theresa continued,
"And for the magic craftsmen in the Magic Engineering Academy, just by seeing the stone slabs in person, they can greatly enhance their understanding of the production of this type of magic props."
As soon as her voice fell, it was like a brick thrown into a puddle, splashing the discussion of the students in the classroom.
Teacher Teresa stood on the podium with a calm expression and smiled. She opened her cup and took a sip of water to moisten her throat.
The classroom is designed with an open sense of space and a broad perspective, and can be transformed into a seminar format.
Everyone can raise their own questions and ideas and actively discuss and interact with the teacher.
Teacher Theresa knew that this kind of course needed to stimulate students' interest in learning and give them time for free discussion, rather than her blindly indoctrinating lectures.
At this moment, under the podium, the students sitting next to each other were discussing constantly.
"No wonder our Magic Academy has a graduation mission, which is to go to the mainland to find a slate holder and get a chance to observe!"
"Some seniors who are looking for convenience actually ran directly to the Sage Academy to find Dean Loren and asked to observe his [Original Slate-Wind]!"
But Dean Loren is not only the guardian of the Kingdom of Hutton, but also the high priest of the Church of the Goddess of Fate. He is certainly not such an idle person.
It is impossible to take out one's vital magic cards like exhibits for students in need to study.
Correspondingly, Loren will give students some more important public welfare tasks of the Kingdom of Hutton or tasks of the Church of the Goddess of Destiny.
If the student can complete the test, he will give the student the opportunity to observe the stone slab as a reward.
In addition, occasionally, magic craftsmen students and even teachers from other allied countries and schools would come to visit Dean Loren every year, and Loren would make similar fair requests.
For those who seek to study or visit, strong and easy-to-talk people from friendly and allied countries will generally give them a chance and put forward tests similar to Loren's.
Of course, there are also those slate holders who like to be alone, or have a cold or unreasonable personality, and they will not pay any attention to ordinary visitors.
"If you have a piece of the [Original Slate], you will be a respected and admired person. I want it too... By the way, Hyperion, do you know of any other owners of the [Original Slate] besides Dean Loren?"
Lanci and Hyperion beside him sighed with a smile.
The two of them often chat when they have nothing to do. Apart from class time, they also go to play with Frey. The student union room is a spacious and comfortable place.
however.
Lanqi's words seemed to touch upon Hyperion's sorrow.
A trace of gloomy sadness flashed across her eyes, and then she looked away.
It seems that he doesn't want Lanqi to find out.
He just lowered his head and nodded.
Chapter 104 Lanqi is not kidding
Large glass windows around the natural landscape lecture hall allow for an unobstructed view of the campus from above. The zinc screens on the glass filter out the glare and allow the sunlight to softly shine into the classroom, adding a warm and harmonious atmosphere for discussion to the learning environment.
As if wanting to join the students' discussion, Teacher Theresa leaned against the desk and sighed as if chatting during class:
"In the academic visiting team from the Kingdom of Alolan next month, there are actually students who want to observe Dean Loren's [Original Slate - Wind], but because the leader of the Kingdom Knights of the Kingdom of Alolan, the 'Undead Sword Saint' who holds the [Original Slate - Regeneration], is not easy to talk to, our students are likely to make a wasted trip every year, causing the relationship between the two sides to gradually become strained."
"The big shots who possess the slate today are at least level eight or above, and they are almost all the strongest ones who specialize in this type."
"So if you meet the holder of the [Original Slate], please do not offend or offend him! Not every powerful person is as gentle and kind as Dean Loren."
Teacher Theresa on the podium switched the images on the magic projection and looked at the students in the seats who were discussing noisily and enthusiastically with a smile.
Although [Primal Slate] is the supreme existence among magic cards, it can even be said to be an item that must be possessed by the strongest people in the world.
But correspondingly, it is also a very dangerous poison that can easily lead to fatal consequences.
If you don’t have the strength to hold the stone slab, you will most likely be killed and then taken away!
Because using stone slabs will leave more obvious traces of special blessings.
Therefore, unless the holder never uses the skills or even props corresponding to the slate, it will soon be made public.
"..."
Lanqi, who was sitting in the back row, originally planned to continue asking Hyperion what was wrong, but when he heard the teacher start teaching again, he looked towards the front of the podium, listened carefully and nodded.
In his opinion.
[Original Slate] is indeed a supreme item that only the strong can possess.
This is also where its value lies.
"In today's world, most of the holders of the thirty-two [Original Slates] are humans, and the others are scattered among the demons, vampires, elves and other alien races..."
Speaking of it.
This should have been something to be proud of for them living in the human kingdom, but Teacher Theresa's tone and expression were a little wrong, and she seemed to want to avoid the topic of the number of original slates as much as possible.
"..."
Many students in the audience remained silent, and they knew why.
Because of the twenty original stone tablets held by humans, fully ten are in the hands of the Resurrection Church.
They belong to the ten most powerful cardinals.
This is not only a shame for mankind, but also a nightmare natural disaster that is feared by all living beings in the northern and southern continents.
"There were originally two original stone tablets in the entire Hutton Kingdom. Now only the [Original Stone Tablet - Wind] of Loren, the dean of the Sage Academy, is left."
Teacher Theresa could only change the topic to the situation in her own country.
The Kingdom of Hutton is a very powerful country on the southern continent. Although it is far from being comparable to the Krewe Empire which occupies the entire southernmost territory, it is also one of the most powerful kingdoms.
Unlike weaker kingdoms, the kingdom has the ability to deal with the arrival of a bishop from the Church of Resurrection.
"What about the other piece?"
A classmate in the classroom immediately raised his hand and asked in confusion.
"..."
Teacher Theresa opened her mouth slightly, but then hesitated for a moment as if she realized something.
The back row of the classroom.
Lanqi noticed that Teacher Theresa's eyes seemed to involuntarily drift towards Hyperion for a moment, then quickly moved away.
When Lanqi turned his head, he saw that Hyperion's expression had become gloomy.
Teacher Theresa at the podium coughed twice and organized her words.
She overlooked the fact that an important person was also in the classroom.
For a moment I didn't know how to phrase this matter.
But at this point, it would be too abrupt to just brush it off.
"The other piece of [Original Slate - Dark] has disappeared along with Duke Migaia Alansar."
Teacher Theresa briefly explained and switched the images on the magic screen, wanting to move on to the next chapter.
however.
After the words just spoken.
It seemed to be out of control, triggering a torrent of discussion in the classroom.
Although many students had heard of this Duke Migaia who lived in the royal capital of Ikerite before entering school, in addition to his noble status, he was also one of the most powerful men in the Kingdom of Hutton.
However, they did not know the information from the upper world that Duke Migaiya was also the owner of the [Original Slate].
Therefore, Duke Migaiya’s sudden disappearance made people feel incredible.
Is it a case of defection or is it related to other people?
Or maybe someone close to him was the one who did something shady and colluded with the enemy?
In fact, many people in the capital had long suspected Hyperion, the daughter closest to Duke Migaia Alansar, and his demon wife who had disappeared for many years and whose whereabouts were mysterious.
In a noisy classroom.
The place where Hugh Bailian was in the last row seemed to gradually become the center of attention like the eye of a storm.
Although many students did not dare to stare blankly at the person behind them, they subconsciously cast their glances at the person involved while discussing.
However, next to Hyperion.
"its not right……"
Lanqi seemed to be isolated from the noisy environment around him. He frowned quietly, his lips slightly opening and closing, and muttered to himself.
Now he understood why Hyperion was acting abnormally just now.
