The days of learning black magic in another world

On the second day after returning to Xingxi Academy, Riemann quickly tidied himself up and glanced at the schedule——

This morning is Dean Pound's history class.

To be honest, the schedule of their magic arts department is really monotonous.

Riemann finished complaining casually in his heart, grabbed his things and went out in the direction of the magic department.

Not long after arriving in the classroom, Dean Pound appeared on the podium.

Father Pound first smiled in Riemann's direction, and then nodded towards the entire classroom.

"good morning students."

"We have already talked about the main achievements of God in the last class, who will repeat it?"

Riemann's heart clicked, and he began to pray to the God of Light crazily and extremely earnestly-if you really have a spirit in heaven, please don't let Father Pound draw me!

The God of Light answered Riemann's request, and Dean Pang ordered another strange girl to answer.

The girl was obviously very confident about this question, and she was very confident, and she started to talk freely after she stood up.

"First of all, in the era when the gods were chaotic and competing for believers, and everyone was learning from the Goddess of the Night and her subordinate gods of fear and calamity, the God of Light did the opposite. The image appeared and proved to everyone that even if ordinary believers don't need to be intimidated, and believers don't need to live in fear all the time, fraternity and bestowal can make them offer the purest faith!"

"The appearance of the God of Light greatly improved the living conditions of ordinary people at that time. We can live in such a free and happy atmosphere today, instead of being oppressed by the fear of God all the time. Thanks to the God of Light!"

"Second, but equally as important as the first point, the God of Light has unified the beliefs of the entire continent. From then on, although the languages ​​and customs of various countries in the continent are different, they have the same beliefs. This greatly and effectively reduces the frequency of conflicts between countries. , making the mainland a substantive whole.”

"Thirdly, the God of Light has bestowed knowledge on the countries of the mainland, teaching them basic mathematical knowledge to observe celestial phenomena, determine the calendar, and greatly improve the efficiency of planting."

"fourth……"

Riemann didn't dare to take notes clearly—doesn't taking notes now prove that he didn't know? ! ——I can only quickly print these things into my mind temporarily, and plan to write them on paper after class.

The girl talked eloquently, and her face flushed with excitement when she talked about excitement. Riemann listened attentively, nodding her head from time to time. At first glance, she looked like a teacher listening to a student's defense. Who would have thought that he was frantically memorizing these common sense knowledge to other people in Xingxi Academy?

The girl kept talking until No. 11, and Riemann was a little bit broken-is there any end? !He really can't remember any more! ——Father Pound nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, very good, Josie, please sit down."

The girl nodded reservedly and sat down.

Dean Pound walked down from the podium: "Miss Josie mentioned just now that the God of Light gave ordinary people knowledge of mathematics at that time, so people on the mainland learned to measure land, and learned to use time as the only way to summarize changes in celestial phenomena. In order to learn better and more efficient planting, this is actually not the focus in the history lessons we have learned since we were young. We habitually emphasize more on the other achievements of the God of Light."

"But we must make it clear that in the classroom of the magic arts department, there is no distinction between what a god has done, and I don't allow the idea that a certain thing done by a god is more important than another thing. "

"But we have to think carefully about the will left by God, and we have to think about the significance of what God has done. Only in this way, we will not miss the message God has given to mortals."

"So in this class, we want to focus on what you haven't talked about in detail in previous history classes, or you haven't seen it at all, the side of the God of Light as a mathematician."

Riemann immediately stood up.

I still remember that when he was at Springs College, he had a conversation with Mr. Monroe, and Mr. Monroe said to him at that time——

"Riemann, you should know that the current geometric system was established by the God of Light."

He was in shock, should he know? !Is this also common sense?But he really doesn't know at all!

Moreover, the god of this world is actually a mathematician in the literal sense. This matter has always concerned him very much. After all, the core of magic in this world is also mathematics.

If the two are a coincidence, then this world must have been created by some sort of novelist.

After that, Riemann has been trying to... understand the side of the God of Light as a mathematician, but on the one hand, heck, he was like reading the book "Why God Is God" last night. There is no specific content for this kind of However, just because of the book about flattering the God of Light himself, his sleepiness always comes very quickly.

His first magic book "How to Sacrifice Before the Century" was actually very boring, and the diary of Baron Errela was long and smelly, a pure journal, but he knew that he could find clues to the magic world in it, so he The more you look at it in the middle of the night, the more awake you become.

But what is sad is that there are a large number of books related to the God of Light, and the quality is very similar. They are all infinite rainbow farts mixed with a small amount of useful information. The authors especially love to use old words and big words. In short What words are not commonly used, and what words occupy a large area of ​​paper are used to praise the God of Light. This makes Riemann, who started learning the native language halfway, sleepy very quickly every time.

On the other hand, as Dean Pound said, very few people deliberately describe the mathematician side of the God of Light, and most of them, like the girl who answered the question just now, regard it as part of the many things the God of Light has done After all, even if Riemann finally found a sentence in the vast sea of ​​useless sentences - "The God of Light is a mathematician", he doesn't have to rush to be happy, because there is only one sentence with a high probability.

So when I heard—everyone should treat everything that God has done equally, and we also need to understand God’s side as a mathematician—when Father Pound said this, Riemann was so moved that he almost shed tears—finally someone wanted to Teach him common sense!

"God is good at mathematics. This is something we all know. First, let's invite a classmate to state the achievements of the God of Light in mathematics."

Dean Pound is obviously a teacher who is very good at classroom interaction. He turned his attention to the students under the podium. Among them, the girl who just talked about the eleven merits of the God of Light (if it was not interrupted, Riemann would not I don’t doubt that she can continue to talk about No.12, No.13...) cast an eager look at Father Pound, with a face full of "Call me! Ask me quickly! I want to answer!", but Pound The priest grimly ignored her eagerness and turned to Riemann instead.

He smiled kindly: "Riemann, let's talk about it."

Riemann, who was suddenly named: "..."

Damn, why did he forget to avoid the teacher's sight!

Under the expectant eyes of Dean Pound and the envious eyes of the girl who really wanted to answer this question, Riemann stood up slowly and slowly.

His brain was spinning rapidly.

"First of all..." Riemann took a deep breath (of course it can't be seen from the outside), "God created today's geometric system for us."

This is what Mr. Monroe said, use it.

"Well, not bad." Father Pound nodded kindly, and then continued to look at him expectantly.

Riemann had a stomachache.

"Second, God taught us to summarize mathematical laws from nature."

This is what the girl said just now, use it.

"Well, yes, that's the case, what else?"

--besides?what else? !

Riemann felt that he was going crazy. Now he was like a student who walked into the examination room to take a political exam without memorizing anything. The only way to answer the questions was to make up and copy the questions from some fragmented and vague memories in his mind. After doing these two things, he has "tried out all his wits" - really can't make it up!

But Dean Pound's look of expectation was so sincere that Riemann could only run his brain extremely fast, trying to find a breakthrough in this desperate situation.

Riemann:!He figured it out!

For a moment, in the eyes of Dean Pound and everyone present, Riemann seemed to have changed suddenly, and a very strong light suddenly burst out on his face-that is the light called faith.

"Actually, I don't think it's appropriate to say what God has accomplished in mathematics."

"Although I just followed your request and began to repeat God's achievements in mathematics one by one, but I actually don't want to do that."

Riemann frowned slightly, coupled with his slow tone just now, he could indeed feel his "reluctance".

"God has bestowed all the mathematical theorems in the beginning, but our ability is limited and we can only understand the simple part, but the subsequent generations of mathematics masters are not all working hard to reproduce the knowledge God bestowed at the beginning? "

"As a working mathematics researcher, I don't think I should answer such questions."

"Because all mathematical knowledge has been given by God, and what we have to do is to try to reproduce that knowledge."

This is what Heller Velen mentioned to Riemann at the beginning.

thank him.

Give yourself the chance to bluff your way through a deadly problem.

After listening to Riemann's answer, the expressions of everyone present became serious.

Dean Pound slowly raised his hand.

"Pa", "Pa", clapped twice.

"Riemann, you said it very well, cough, I am very sorry, there is a problem with the way I just asked the question, I offended you, please sit down."

"Then let's talk about what part of the knowledge bestowed by God did ordinary people understand back then."

Riemann: Huh—that's great.
