Chapter 1516: Useless little boycott

The Academic City was built among the mountains of Yinsong Mountain. The original builders specially selected the tops of five scattered peaks that were close to each other as the construction sites of the Academic City, and these five peaks also became the academic city. Five different districts of the city.
Each urban area of ​​Xuecheng is not only a separate existence, but also connected to each other. It is said that it exists independently because each Xuecheng district has a separate city gate, and each has a separate winding mountain ladder from the foot of the mountain to the city on the top of the mountain. Need to go through other urban areas.
And connected to each other is that all the urban areas are connected by stepped arch bridges that are hundreds of meters long. How the arch bridges were built is still a mystery, because all the arch bridges look like they were carved out of a complete rock and It is polished in general, and both ends of the arch bridge are completely integrated with the rocks of the mountain, as if they are part of the mountain.
However, anyone who knows a little bit of geology can find that the rock on the mountain where the Xuecheng is located is a common patterned rock in the Kingdom of Teresa, and the stone quality of these arch bridges is a honey gold stone that is only produced in the northern snowfields.
This kind of stone is much lighter than normal rock, but its density is extremely high, so it is also harder than ordinary stone. At the same time, it has a lot of mysterious ingredients that have not been analyzed so far, which makes it more abundant. an almost metallic toughness.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for this kind of rock to appear in the central part of the continent such as the Kingdom of Teresa, but now it has appeared, and a bridge has been built, so this has aroused the curiosity of many scholars in the academic city. .
Those who study the history of the construction of the academic city have guessed that the arch bridges connecting the various urban areas were polished with a whole giant rock elsewhere, and then transported to be erected between the five peaks, and then the arch bridges were fixed by special methods. The rock and the rock of the mountain are integrated, because only in this way can they explain everything they see. As for who can do this kind of thing, they can only push it to the mysterious and great true gods. .
Some people have also tried to find the information on the original construction of the academic city in the archives of the academic city, but the result is that all relevant materials are not preserved, and only some fragmented information mentions the construction process of the academic city. It is the top secret of Theresa's royal family. All relevant information has been sealed and dumped in the royal family's secret archives. Only those with the highest status and status among the royal family members can access it.
As for the people who participated in the construction of the Academic City at first, they did not even keep their names, and even after the Academic City was built, were they also sacrificed like the participants in private buildings such as mausoleums in the history of other kingdoms, or were they killed? It was silenced, and no one knew about it, because all the information had been completely erased.
However, there are still some scholars who are skilled in research who have found some clues. These clues come from the data files of the Church of True God. In those data files, they all mentioned that when the Academic City was built, there appeared in the Kingdom of Teresa. There is a special phenomenon called the Forbidden Land.
The Forbidden Land is a very special phenomenon, as its name suggests, the place where this phenomenon appears will become the forbidden zone of the gods, or more correctly the forbidden zone of all supernatural powers, all things involving supernatural powers, no matter what. Whether it is the power of the true god, the power of the evil god, or the power of some other magical bloodline, all will be completely banned, even the gods will become like mortals in the forbidden land.
This miraculous phenomenon occurs very rarely. There are only 30 times recorded in various churches. Excluding the overlapping records, the actual number is only about 14 times. The time that the earth phenomenon appears every time is not very long, it disappears in about a day or so, and the coverage area is not large, equivalent to a small village.
However, the phenomenon of the forbidden land that appeared when the Kingdom of Teresa built the academic city was very special. It covered half the territory of the Kingdom of Teresa, and it lasted for a very long time, almost lasting. It took half a year, and it didn't end until the construction of the Academic City was completed.
It is precisely because of this discovery that the speculation that the arch bridge is a creation of the gods is self-defeating, because in the forbidden land, any extraordinary power will disappear, and the gods are no exception.
So far, how the arch bridge was built is still a mystery that plagues all scholars in the academic city, and the royal family of Teresa, who has the answer, has no idea of ​​solving this mystery for scholars in the academic city, and it is not even a problem. The big one offered an amazing reward. As long as someone can solve the mystery of the construction of the arch bridge, then this person can not only obtain the title of duke directly, but can even obtain a territory in the Kingdom of Teresa.
It is a pity that although the reward is large, no one has been able to obtain it so far, because the answer not only requires theoretical demonstration, but also requires practical examples, that is, it is necessary to completely build the same arch bridge according to its answer theory.
The vast majority of people are stuck at the level of theory, and only a few scholars have been recognized by scholars and the Royal Family of Teresa in terms of theory, but unfortunately they failed to pass the example verification.
But even so, those scholars have become one of the best bridge architects on the mainland by virtue of their research in this area, and the failed cases with proven theories have not been demolished, but have been preserved, becoming many aspired to become. Object of study by scholars and students of architects.
Although in the eyes of scholars and students of these architectural disciplines, several urban arch bridges in the Academic City are the highest achievements in architecture, compared with those architectural methods that they cannot understand, these architectural masters stayed The bridges can then be drilled into something useful by them.
"Let the two laugh, these guys are not usually like this, but yesterday someone discovered some little secrets left by Master Borent, the builder of this arch bridge, so whether you are studying architecture or not, you are curious about this arch bridge. Come and see." Facing the small arch bridge that had been completely blocked, Delkan reluctantly suggested to Leo and Sylvia in the carriage: "Let's get out of the car and go, after the bridge, it's not too far. It's just a winding staircase."
After the management of the academy passed the recommendation that Leo and Sylvia, two foreign scholars, directly become tutors of the academy, Delkan, who had close contact with the two, took the initiative to become a receptionist, responsible for going to the book town to pick up the two People return to the academic city.
However, I don't know if some people are dissatisfied with the city management's recommendation that they feel extremely unfair, or if it's just a coincidence that someone discovered the hidden secrets that Master Borent left on the semi-circular arch bridge at the foot of the mountain. The news spread across the entire Xuecheng in an instant, and for a time it seemed that most of the scholars and students in the Xuecheng had become lovers of arch bridge construction. They went to the arch bridge at the foot of the mountain to find some legendary little secret, and took this to Xuecheng. The only way to go is completely blocked.
Although even without this arch bridge, you can still take the old road to reach the winding stairs leading to the first city, but it takes a long detour, and because it has not been used and maintained for many years, it has long been dilapidated, and even some places It has been completely covered by forest, which is equivalent to desertion.
In the face of this situation, Delkan can't say anything, and there is no way to ask the people blocking the bridge to give way. If he does that, he may cause the subdued debate to stir up again, and make the recommended proposal that has already been confirmed. , so we can only propose to get off the bus and walk through.
In the face of Delkan's proposal, neither Leo nor Sylvia said anything. They each got out of the car and looked at the people blocking the bridge.
Although those scholars were all pretending to study the architectural structure of the arch bridge one by one, and even discussing their own opinions, but without exception, when Leo and Sylvia got out of the car, they all went to the two by coincidence. People look over, which makes the eyes of most people on the bridge focus on the two of them, and their heads turn to the same place no matter where their bodies are facing.
It would be fine if one or two people were in this state, it wouldn't make people feel anything unusual, but the vast majority of people standing on the deck on one side of the arch bridge made the same movements, which made the scene fall into a kind of It looks a bit ridiculous.
However, those scholars did not realize that the people around them would do the same actions as themselves, and when they lost consciousness, it was too late, and for a while they themselves fell into the embarrassment of being in a dilemma. It was too rude to look at Leo and Sylvia like this, and I felt that I couldn't turn my head first, because it would be too conspicuous.
"Are you guys crazy? Mr. Leo and Ms. Sylvia have been approved by the great mentors and deans. If you don't agree, you can either go to the deans to appeal, or just use the methods of scholars. To prove that these two are not directly qualified to become mentors, what is this like a group of rogues blocking the bridge?" Just when these scholars were in a dilemma, Delkan's rebuke pulled them from this embarrassing situation. come out.
After Delkan's voice fell, everyone turned their heads and stopped looking at Leo and Sylvia. Some people who still felt embarrassed didn't stay, turned and left, but there were still some people who were not convinced. At the arch bridge, I felt like I wanted to verify the qualifications of Leo and Sylvia to become the tutors of the academy according to the method of the scholars that Delkan said.
It's a pity that neither Leo nor Sylvia stayed with these scholars to play this kind of boring test. They walked over without suppressing the blood of the superiors, and directly formed blood for these scholars. Invisible suppression on.
Those scholars who were still stuck on the bridge didn't understand what was going on at all, they felt a sense of timidity and fear from their hearts instantly spread throughout their bodies, penetrated deep into their souls, and let them all have hands and feet. Weak and unable to stand any longer, he naturally knelt down on the ground, looking like a servant welcoming their master.
Everyone didn't know what happened to them, and they only felt panic and unease in their hearts. Until Leo and Sylvia walked over the arch bridge, and the invisible power from the blood of the superior disappeared, they still did not slow down. After working hard, my body still felt weak, and I couldn't stand up on the ground for a long time.
Delkan saw the reverence of those natural shamans towards Leo and Sylvia in the Emerald City, until these two were definitely not foreign scholars, so when he saw this abnormal phenomenon in front of him, he didn't feel it. Too many surprises and surprises, but when Leo and Sylvia walked over the arch bridge from the people who were kneeling on the ground, there was an inexplicable joy in my heart.
As one of the people who led the granting of mentorship to Leo and Sylvia, he can be said to have been criticized in the academic city in recent days, and there are even many rumors claiming that he is collecting money to do things, and many former friends Not only did he not defend him, but he broke up with him like a stone. This made his pressure during this period of time accumulated to an unprecedented level. From his bald patch of hair, it was obvious how much pressure was on.
Although the management of the academy finally passed their joint recommendation and decided to directly grant Leo and Sylvia the mentorship status, the pressure on Delkan still did not ease much, because the opposition in the academy was not because of the management's After deciding to disappear, there are still a large number of scholars and students protesting in various ways, just like finding an excuse to block an arch bridge after all.
Now seeing these people who prevented Leo and Sylvia from entering the academy, they were extremely embarrassed, but he was enjoying the kneeling of these people like a winner, and stepping on these people. Walking across the arch bridge, the pressure accumulated in Delkan's heart was also released at this moment, and he couldn't hide the inner smile on his face.
Because most of the opponents were blocked on the arch bridge, there was no accident on the road behind, Leo and his group came to the Qianping Square of the Panshan Stairs smoothly.
This square is more like a sculpture art exhibition venue. In the past so many years, the most famous scholars in the academic city will be distributed in the square inside and outside the square in the form of sculptures. In addition to the statue of the scholar himself, each sculpture will also record on the base. The life and research results of the scholar are engraved with a famous saying that the scholar said during his lifetime.
In addition, these sculptures are made by the most famous sculpture masters in the world. At the same time, these sculpture masters are also from the academy, so it is also a holy place for sculptors from all over the world.
It's just that most of the people who come here don't have the mentality of appreciating the statue too much. They are more thinking about the 3,700 steps to climb next and the winding stairs with an average angle of more than 60. For students or scholars in most other countries, it is undoubtedly a difficult obstacle to self-doubt.
