Chapter 3331 Egg-Laying Rooster
"I just happen to have nothing to do tomorrow."
The administrator elegantly held the teacup and said this, and Xia De understood:
"Are you okay if you leave the academy rashly? Besides, Fatumonster Island and the academy are across the entire Old Continent."
"Don't worry about these issues. The academy has no shortage of relics related to space travel. As for leaving the academy, I can just tell Professor Pigman that I'm going to protect Emilia."
So the elf girl who ran out of the bookshelf excitedly immediately became nervous:
"Professor, will you go to the snowy mountains with us today?"
The red-haired sorceress laughed:
"Look at your expression now. I won't steal your cookies. It's tomorrow. Tomorrow, Shade is going to look for the devil. I will also appear on the island then. But I won't appear with you. I will hide and follow you.
If you don't need me, I won't show up. If you really encounter a problem that you can't solve, I will help you. "
As for the information Emilia brought last night, Danister convened a breakfast meeting this morning with professors from relevant schools and departments of the academy to collectively discuss the matter of “Infinite Snakes”.
The fortune tellers of the School of Astronomy and the time explorers of the School of History all have relevant information. Combined with the secret and dangerous collections of the library, it is basically confirmed that the "Infinite Snake" has appeared many times in history, and each time it appeared in the past, it would cause big problems, but would be solved inexplicably:
"The professors at the School of Astronomy believe that it is just fate that is healing itself. The appearance of the infinite snake represents the chaos of fate, and its inexplicable disappearance or just being solved means that fate has completed its self-consistency. However, in addition to the impossible appearance of objects, creatures or events are also possible."
She handed the prepared documents to Shade, and Emilia just listened obediently.
"The most famous case occurred in about 1046 of the Sixth Era, because it happened in St. Byron's. Among the chickens raised by the academy as experimental subjects, a rooster laid an egg. This kind of thing is not completely impossible, but after examining the egg and the rooster, it was found that both were completely normal, and it was not because of the disease that caused the rooster to lay the egg.
Just after the academy gave such an inspection result, the black snake tore the rooster apart, and the little snake hatched from the egg. The battle at that time destroyed the chicken coop that had been passed down since the Fifth Era, causing the academy to lose an important ancient building.
The two snakes evolved the abilities of "Death by Gaze" and "No Antidote for Toxin" respectively. One of them even escaped into the ancient sewer system of the academy. If it had not accidentally entered the underground restricted area of the academy, the casualties of the academy would have reached three digits when the incident was resolved. It was considered one of the most dangerous incidents that occurred in the academy in the Sixth Era."
"So what happened to their bodies?"
Shade asked with concern, and Danister pointed downwards:
"After the snake was killed, it turned back into the rooster and the egg. The professors at the time combined past documents and the predictions of the prophets and did not kill the rooster, but waited for it to die of old age. After its death, it lost all its abnormal properties, and a part of its body was preserved as a research object. Now that part of the body is still in the 'School History Museum' area of the History College.
But the egg neither hatched nor died of old age, so it has been sealed in Level 4 of the library, where it remains today. If you can find a convenient way to deal with it this time, the academy doesn't mind you getting rid of it."
In addition to the "rooster laying eggs" incident, the college's documents also contain some similar examples that occurred in other places, but they are not as detailed as the "rooster laying eggs" incident.
Shad and Emilia looked at it separately. In this world with extraordinary powers, it is very difficult to distinguish "impossible events" from "events caused by supernatural forces", so the appearance of "Infinite Snake" is often unexpected, which means that it will cause great damage every time.
"Since the snake only appears when one recognizes the 'impossible', what will happen if one does not realize that the impossible event has already occurred? For example, if no one recognizes that the rooster that lays eggs comes from the 'impossible', then will the matter end when it dies of old age?"
Emilia raised her hand and asked, Danister looked very serious:
"Of course it's not that simple. If no one discovers it, the mistake of fate will gradually spread from a single individual to more individuals and events, such as more roosters in a flock laying eggs, or the chicken coop itself showing abnormal characteristics. This is a destruction of the basic order of the world, and its influence is even more terrible than the tree holes, abnormal light, and the filth of the earth.
The snake you encountered last night was able to spit out a special light, which in itself is very telling.
So after confirming that this is the disaster of destiny, I think the [Prophet Association] should take the initiative to intervene and help the church search for these impossibilities around the world, and actively stimulate them to become infinite snakes, rather than waiting for fate to be further destroyed.
If you two encounter the same situation again, after killing the snake, remember to quickly and effectively contain the restored object. It is said that the [Prophet Association] has the means to completely eliminate this kind of impossibility. The academy has already contacted them, but I think it will be the same as before. Even if there is a way, I am afraid the cost will be very high. "
They didn't notice that Shade was frowning in thought. If "he" was also a kind of impossibility, then his appearance for two years did not cause any negative impact on the surroundings. Although fate did change because of his appearance, these changes were self-consistent.
"So, I don't need to worry about turning into a snake. I am fundamentally different from them."
【I really don’t know what you are worried about. 】
"She" smiled gently.
Today is the last day before setting out to find the "Ice Castle", so Emilia brought a lot of special potions made with the secret recipe of the academy for the unicorn Ellie to ensure that it will have the ability to escape alone at least tomorrow.
It was already eleven o'clock in the morning when the two arrived at the town of Kyle-Tod. After entering the Snow Mountain Hall, they did not see Miss Reinhardt and Miss Larson. Instead, they saw the injured "potion merchant" Mr. Sargent, who was talking to Elder Harald and Elder Wilda in the hallway.
After nearly two weeks of treatment, Mr. Sargent is now in much better condition. Although there are still some traces of alchemical runes on his skin, at least he can move freely and cast spells.
But his injuries were far more serious than Elder Harald's, so he did not plan to leave the town immediately. Instead, he wanted to take advantage of his good mental state today and find a way to move his potion workshop to the city, so that he could find something to do while recuperating in the town, and not lose his income at the same time.
Mr. Sargent had a very good relationship with the Fatu people because he often went into the mountains to collect herbs. Elders Harald and Wilda were discussing sending people to help him move the equipment and find a suitable location for him to open a store in the town.
It would certainly be a good thing to have an excellent potion master in the town, even if he would not settle here permanently, he could be of great help before All Souls' Day.
Seeing a stranger, Emilia hid behind Shad. When Mr. Sargent saw Shad coming, he greeted him very warmly, because he knew who was the biggest contributor to his rescue.
"Mr. Sargent, you are going into the city. Would it be convenient for you to arrange an appointment with Mr. Mortis for me? I want to talk to him about something. The time and place will be decided by him."
The "Potion Merchant" agreed immediately. He and Mr. Mortis had been friends for many years, and this request was just a small matter.
Soon, Mr. Sargent left with the young people in the town in a cart. The intensity of his whispering element had basically stabilized with the other elements, and the treatment method for blood-sucking species provided by the coroner seemed to be quite effective.
As for the witch and the apprentice, because they were going to have the trial of the "Crown of Glory" this weekend, Miss Reinhardt was asked to go to the top of the snowy mountain for adaptive training in advance. This trial was not just an excuse, it was really dangerous.
They would probably be back before lunch, which was another half an hour.
Elder Harald and Elder Wilda greeted Emilia first, and after Emilia went to visit the unicorn, the two elders signaled that they wanted to talk to Shade alone.
The three of them went to the courtyard of the Snow Mountain Hall together. After walking out of the glass door, they looked up at the snow-capped mountains glittering in the warm winter sun.
"Claire has already told us what happened last night. In the morning, the church in the city also sent people to inquire about some things, but they have not yet linked the two or three people at that time to you."
Elder Wilda, who was wearing a sheep-horned hat, said, turning his head to look in the direction of the unicorn's nest:
"The church actually came to ask us about local snake worship. They asked about the same things you asked, and then asked us if we had ancient snake shedding or anything like that, and we said no."
Then Elder Harald pulled out a snake skin that was very familiar to Shade from his sleeve and handed it to Shade:
"After you asked those questions last week, we searched for it in the various fortresses under the snow-capped mountains. This is what we found. It is enshrined in a remote altar outside a small village on the eastern foot of the snow-capped mountains. If you hadn't specifically looked for it, I'm afraid no one would have known that it was in that altar.
Its origin cannot be verified, and the local village has no record of this snake skin. "
The blank snake slough in her hand was indeed a strange one. Luvia temporarily called it "the snake slough of fate". The elders gave it to Shade instead of the church, which meant that the Fatu people believed in Shade, who had been recognized by the Snow Mountain.
