Chapter 72 The Perfect Candidate for a Mentor (Part [-])
"Oh? Ah, that's right... You came late, and you haven't been assigned your own tutor yet."

The short, bald old professor touched his chin hesitantly when he heard this, "Aren't you talking to Professor Moriarty?"

The moment he heard his words, Aiwass knew that he probably had some difficulties.

Because Aiwass is very confident.

He was doing well, and there was obvious affection in Professor Bard's eyes.I definitely have already filled up my favor, and it is not impossible to even be invited as a teaching assistant.

Just accept a student.This is much easier than finding a teaching assistant.

——If you have a higher EQ, Aiwass should actually change the topic at this time.

But what Aiwass is eyeing, he will not let go easily.

He is very greedy.Bring it to your mouth, and you can get it with hard work, so there is no reason to spit it out——

"...Because I think it's not good. It's not good to say it... His other students always look at me with some distance."

Aiwass pulled the warm blanket over his knees.

He put his hands on his lap, leaned forward slightly, and said politely and earnestly: "It's like my elder brother Edward. That's why he didn't even enter the Royal Law University.

"I think that in the school environment, being too close to family and relatives is not a good thing. It is not conducive to personal growth and exercise, and it is easy to have conflicts with acquaintances."

"……Too."

Professor Bard nodded slightly in agreement: "And James has taken a long vacation, and he doesn't know when he will be back. Besides..."

When the old man said this, he subconsciously glanced at Aiwass' legs.

If Aiwass hadn't pulled the blanket suddenly, he had almost forgotten that he was in poor health and had limited mobility.

He also really needs an adult to take care of him—Miss Lily who follows him is definitely not enough.She can only be regarded as Aiwass's peers, not an elder.

Although these students were adults, they were all children to Old Bard.

Professor Bud just glanced subconsciously, and quickly looked away politely.

Because he doesn't quite know why Aiwass is in a wheelchair, and he doesn't know if he can recover.

If none of the priests that Professor Moriarty can find can cure Aiwass with lighting... maybe his problem is actually serious.Focusing on that would be disrespectful, and possibly even heartbreaking.

Aiwass noticed this and immediately guessed what Professor Bard was thinking.

This shows that the old man in front of him is still a delicate and gentle person.

Then I can't let go!
Aiwass thought.

"Is there any difficulty for you?"

Thinking of this, Aiwass said earnestly: "I usually like to study the history of empires, and you are the most professional scholar in this field!"

In fact, Aiwass did not know Professor Bard before.

But he is a "professor" after all, and he can still be hired by Wang Li Law University.This shows that he must have reached the top level in the academic field.And Aiwass said very vaguely and didn't mention specific subdivisions, so unless Professor Bard really didn't study the history of empires at all, he wouldn't be wrong no matter what he said.

If he really ran into that tiny probability, he would be considered unlucky.

But Aiwass was lucky.

Professor Bud rubbed his hands happily, and said proudly: "Ah, indeed. When it comes to the history of the Heraser Empire, no one knows better than me."

"Yes," Aiwass changed the subject, "I also think we need to study more about the Star Antimony Kingdom. They may be the most worthy of attention—far stronger than the iris."

"Indeed."

Professor Bard nodded solemnly: "Many Avalonians believe that the Astralians are dangerous and evil. That's because their demonology is legal and superstitious. But in fact, according to my point of view, people in Astralia are already 'Practical alchemy', which is gradually losing its status, is instead the most worthy of attention."

Hearing this, Aiwass understood that Professor Bard really has real talent and learning.

He happily followed Professor Bard's topic: "Yes, the essence of their alchemy is no longer to analyze everything, but to make things that can 'make money'. Changes have given alchemy a spontaneous popularity.

"People who use alchemy are no longer royal alchemists who wear yellow robes and have high status. They eat huge funds from the emperor to study things that are temporarily unusable and ordinary people can't understand the meaning. Come out with one or two things that don't understand the principle at all but are very powerful.

"And it may be a cultural person who can barely read in a rural area or a town... through self-taught alchemy, he opened an alchemy shop, selling some odds and ends of practical alchemy products. He may have unconsciously invented something that is particularly useful s things.

"Except for the same use of alchemy, they are no longer the same type of people as the orthodox alchemists. They don't plan to go very far on the path of equilibrium, and they step into the extraordinary world just to make money."

"You're so good!"

Professor Bard nodded appreciatively, and couldn't help clapping his hands with joy.

He beamed and added: "I think this is another understanding of Valentin I's 'equilibrium' path - money is the bargaining chip of all things, and this is also a way of analyzing and cognition of the world. Not from alchemy Technically, but economically, technologically, and people's livelihood needs..."

He talked endlessly, and Aiwass smiled and nodded repeatedly, making jokes from time to time.

From Aiwass' point of view, it is completely reasonable for Star Antimony Kingdom to even flatten this continent directly.

Because the vision of Valentine I has completely surpassed Avalon and Iris in terms of age.The most likely threat to Star Antimony is the Narcissus Principality, which is composed of a large number of spellcasters.

But now that has also been preemptively wiped out by the stars.

...It would be better to say that the reason why Star Antimony has not been able to annex the Iris Flower Kingdom for so long is purely because of the energy involved in the internal road struggle.

It is all relying on those demon scholars who are very terrifying in the eyes of people in other countries to compete for the right to speak of these practical alchemists; and the struggle within the aristocratic class, in turn, involves the promotion path of folk alchemists .

Haina on the side hesitated.

If Aiwass can't find a mentor, it will be a little troublesome.But her instructor is her swordsmanship lecturer, so she definitely cannot be introduced to Aiwass.

If Professor Bard still disagrees... why don't you go back to your tutor and ask her to see if she can introduce another tutor?
"...What you said is true. In my opinion, the peace and stability within Avalon is precisely because the group of extraordinary people within it is in a stable state. Her Majesty's No.40 Amnesty Decree No. [-] accepted the Transcendents from other paths prevent us from lacking the skills of a particular path and cause us to fall behind as a whole; while maintaining the authoritarian path as the mainstream and giving preferential treatment to a small number of special paths, we can ensure that they cannot compete for power ...

"Fortunately, Her Majesty the Queen has realized this," Aiwass sighed, "If Avalon carries out reforms ten years later, I think it may be too late."

In fact, it was too late.

Aiwass added inwardly, but he dared not say it.

Although Avalon and Star Wars are enemy countries, and the obvious conflicts are intensifying, in fact, none of Avalon really regards Star Wars as the source of the crisis.

Because the star antimony kingdom obviously has a worse relationship with the iris people.

Now Starbow has swallowed the Principality of Black Eagle and Narcissus, and if it eats the iris, it will return to the original territory of the empire.

The relationship between Avalon and Iris turned better before, and a large part of it was due to the pressure from the stars-both of them.Although Avalon and Iris have fallen into a state of death, there are still many overly optimistic voices in Avalon.The most optimistic point of view is that they can even resume cooperation with Star Antimony and import a large number of alchemy products from Star Antimony.

Because Avalon has a market and a lot of gold reserves.And Star Antimony products are obviously overflowing... As long as they are still in trade, Star Antimony should not come in.

As for the royal family—

In fact, Avalon has developed to this day, and there are already many knights who wish that they do not have a royal family on their heads.

"...Actually, I think it may be too late."

But something that was beyond Aiwass' expectation, Professor Bard muttered in a low voice: "Too much has fallen..."

--Um?

Aiwass froze for a moment, and looked at the old professor in disbelief.

Is the old man's eyes so vicious?
"Haha, don't look at me like that. I'm just saying..."

Professor Bard also realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He quickly waved his hand and changed the subject with a smile: "Actually, I usually don't recruit students at the bachelor's level. Because I'm really not good at taking care of people... I have been a professor for more than [-] years, and it was when I was in Milton. , took some students. After I came to Glass Island, I didn't recruit any more students.

"Of course, I still want graduate students here. But you... are not suitable either."

That is really strange.

You praised me so harshly, and then said "inappropriate" to me?
Aiwass was really interested, and asked, "Why isn't it suitable?"

"Because you may only know that I am a historian," Professor Bard replied sincerely, "but I am actually an archaeologist.

"You and the students of the Department of Individual Tactics only need to study "Modern History". I only teach this course for three months in the first semester of the third to sixth departments, and you will finish it soon. Wait In the second semester of the coming year, I have to teach "General History of the World", "Modern History of Avalon", "Genealogy of the Herasl Empire" in the second grade of the Department of Humanities, and "History of the Horus Empire" in the third grade, as well as elective courses. Lesson "Ancient Horus".

"In the third semester, I was not at school. I would follow my graduate students to go abroad for archaeology... You still have classes, obviously you can't go with me. But if you stay in school, it seems that you don't have a mentor Same. But in that case, who will take care of you?"

Professor Bard sighed: "I really like you as a student...but I can't accept you. This is irresponsible to you."

Aiwass was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and then he was ecstatic.

And this good thing?
One semester out of school each year?
——Then I’m not casually hi?

And there is still a chance to go abroad for archaeology?

——Does that mean that I have a way to get in touch with prehistoric relics in other countries in advance?Is it so cool?
