Chapter 2874

~10 min read 1,913 words

The Gray Wolf girl thought of this, and then realized one thing:

"Mr. Hamilton, Miss Sianode, and Iluna come from the future, which is also abnormal... So, am I the only normal person here?"

If she realized this when she first met everyone, she, sitting by the fire, would definitely have her hair on her tail exploded.

"Meow~"

The cat on Xia De's shoulder was trying to stretch out its claws to touch the ears of the Gray Wolf girl who didn't know what she was thinking, but this impolite behavior was stopped by Xia De.

"If the god is willing to help, Miss Wild, please take Emilia back to the time you are in. She has a recommendation letter I wrote, and Miss Feiliana will understand."

Xia De held the cat's small claws and said to the Green Dragon again. The latter of course agreed. She didn't have the ability to take Emilia away, but she was willing to help. Of course, she actually wanted to ask Xia De more about what kind of relationship he had with those amazing ladies.

"Let's go, after going up, there may be no chance to deal with other things. Everyone confirm one last time, all the things here are solved, right?"

"I still want to seek answers from the Lord."

"I think Teacher Drago will be surprised at what kind of surprise I brought back."

"Xia De, do you know how much I miss the meat pies sold at the door of the church in Vista City and Tifa's craftsmanship?"

"I have met many people in my solo travels, but I will remember you forever."

"Xia De, am I going to a new place? I will work hard, I definitely will."

Although the girls had different expressions, they all nodded to Xia De. Xia De took the lead in stepping on the steps of the spiral staircase, his right hand grabbing the railing on the side. The top of the stairs was silent and deep. Iluna stepped on the steps first, Miss Bister and Emilia with a bag looked up and looked up side by side, Miss Wild retracted her big tail and stared at Xia De's back, and the last Miss Metz turned to look at the fire left in place.

No matter what everyone was thinking at this moment, everyone followed behind him.

Although the door at the end of the stairs closed just now, it could be opened with a light push at this time. God was still standing there waiting for everyone. After Xia De entered the door, Iluna naturally walked to Xia De's left hand side, and Emilia hid behind her timidly.

Miss Metz hesitated for a while, came from the very back to Xia De's right hand side, and bowed to the god more respectfully than anyone else. Miss Bister was still hiding behind Xia De, only revealing her wolf ears, but soon her wolf ears were also retracted by her. So Miss Wild could only stand behind the Gray Wolf and the Elf.

Four stone tablets flew out from the side of the human, werewolf, and green dragon respectively at this time. They flew to the god in the black robe with a faint light, and the god touched them one by one with a loving and nostalgic expression:

"It has been too long since someone gave a lecture at this academy."

"May I ask, does this count as us completing the ceremony?"

Xia De took the initiative to ask, and the goddess in the black robe nodded gently to him again. Although Xia De has been in contact with many Old Gods, only this god has the strongest, gentle feeling that seems to be able to accept all mortals. She is the guardian of teachers, the guardian of knowledge inheritors, and she equally accepts all knowledge seekers:

"You have successfully completed the ceremony. Next, I will also keep my promise to give you a lecture, and then you can return to the place where you set off."

But God did not start the lecture immediately:

"But it seems that you have other things you want to ask me, right?"

Xia De and Miss Metz have things, Xia De's things are easy to explain:

"This elf girl comes from the same era as me, and came here because of the time war. I want her to follow Miss Wild and leave. After learning, return to the correct time point according to the rules of the time war."

Saying this, he pulled out the little elf hidden behind Iluna. Emilia was trembling and lowering her head. She didn't have the power to look directly at the god. Even if she just stood still, facing the god's gentle gaze at this moment was like carrying a big mountain on her shoulders.

But she did charge at the evil god with a sword riding a unicorn in the summer, so she could still muster the courage to repeat Xia De's words stutteringly at this time.

As for Miss Metz:

"My Lord, I want to know who I am. I want to know which memory is real and which memory is fake. I want to know, what am I?"

God smiled and said:

"I can give the answers to these two questions, but knowledge and answers never come out of thin air, do they?"

"May I ask what we need to do?"

Xia De then asked, God looked at him again, so Emilia took the opportunity of the pressure of being watched to disappear, and quickly hid behind Iluna again.

"The courses taught by four people have indeed perfectly completed the ceremony, but if more people who come here and are eager to learn can give lectures, that would be even better."

"Are you referring to Emilia?"

Miss Bister clearly saw the elf shaking her head, and the god still smiled gently:

"Foreign guest, I am referring to you."

This request is not too excessive if you think about it carefully, so Xia De continued to ask:

"But what should I teach? How about you give me a textbook? For example, "Moon and Man", "Shadow of the Moon", "Climbing the Moon" or "Secrets of the Moon"... "Falling Tower" or "Secrets of Mount Karas" are also fine."

Although everyone didn't understand, they could all feel that Xia De's purpose was definitely not simple. "She" in his ear smiled lightly, and the god in front of him also showed a smile, but this smile should be different from before:

"You are different from them. So, I want to ask you to teach some knowledge outside the moon. It is enough to be clearly related to yourself, insights into life, understanding of civilization, or analysis of yourself. But you are right, you do need a textbook, but I don't want this textbook to limit your thinking."

God waved at the wall, so something submerged at the bottom of the water in this dilapidated academy flew to the tower and passed through the wall of the tower to Xia De's front.

It looked like a piece of bark that had just been peeled off, larger than two palms combined. The outer surface texture is rough, slightly moist because it has just come out of the water. The color of the bark is intertwined with light and dark, light brown with a little golden yellow, and occasionally fine cracks meander on it, which seems to be ancient symbols.

The inner surface faintly reveals the internal fibers and emits a faint woody fragrance. The inside is very smooth, like the secret skin of a tree, and it feels slightly cool to the touch. When Xia De pressed his hand gently, his fingertips felt a subtle elasticity. Although it was still rough compared to real paper, it could still carry the power of words.

The whole piece of bark is still flat, and suitable pens and ink can indeed leave words on the inside. But the problem is that there is not a single word on the bark at this time. The cat curiously stretched out its nose and sniffed, and then actually sneezed. Seeing Xia De look down at it, the cat went directly into his pocket.

【Outsider, you have come into contact with "Whispers".】

【Although it comes from the First Era, because of its own characteristics, it will not trigger "Ancient Sounds".】

"She" whispered in his ear, Xia De looked down to confirm, and then raised his head and asked:

"Is this the bark of the World Tree?"

The Wisdom Angel said that the "Different Tree Academy" itself has a remnant of the World Tree, but this remnant will no longer cause harm. As for why there are whisper elements on the World Tree remnant, Xia De can't explain it, but at least the appearance of this bark at this time is quite reasonable.

"Yes, the bark of the World Tree."

God said with a smile, so Emilia behind Iluna curiously looked at what Xia De was holding, but unfortunately she couldn't see it because of the angle.

"But there are no words on it, I can't use a wordless book to teach."

"Need you to write the words."

God made a request:

"Since the request you made is related to that elf, then tell a story related to elves. The way children first know this world, besides observing by themselves, is to listen to those interesting stories. Stories are the prototype of teaching. Listening to stories around the fire is the first and most primitive way of teaching.

Now you tell a story related to elves and write it on this bark. The World Tree is the main axis of time. Even the bark of the World Tree remnant is enough to construct the world in the story when you write the story. Everyone will participate in it and become people in the story."

That is to say, Xia De needs to become a "screenwriter" to construct a story that everyone participates in together. The god in front of him didn't want to embarrass him. The necessary means to complete the ceremony have been provided by God, and what Xia De needs to do is just think about what he chooses as the content of the story.

However, he hesitated:

"Why... um... help me?"

"This question is very rude."

Miss Metz on the side reminded, but the god didn't care. The goddess in the black robe smiled:

"Because you passed thirteen trials and are a wise man recognized by the Wisdom Angel. When this academy was at its most prosperous, it was difficult to invite a mortal like you to give a lecture. This piece of World Tree bark is what you deserve."

Xia De's "Wise Man" title played a role in it. Think carefully, since obtaining this title, it seems that all existences related to that Ancient God of Wisdom and Knowledge 【Secret Keeper】 have treated him very specially. And in the "Dice Story Collection", the bonus provided by this title is also quite powerful.

"Please give me some time to think about it. Iluna, you sit down first."

So the five girls carefully bypassed Xia De and walked towards the cushions, but didn't expect that the god who was standing by the blackboard also walked towards those cushions. When Iluna, who was walking in the front, stopped, the god whose own light illuminated the whole room had already chosen a cushion and sat down.
