Chapter 314 020. Minister of Education
Atkez Ziegler lowered his head. He lingered outside Minister Balkomon's door for half an hour, hesitating whether to go in.

During this period, he has been looking at the student file information in his hand, and he has been muttering: "How to deal with it?"

If this scene is seen by others, I am afraid that they will be very surprised: Professor Atkez, the head of the Academy Committee, an institution directly under the Ministry of Education of the dignified White Candle Star, actually holds a copy of the student's information in his hand, and is still there. Consider showing it to the Minister of Education.

As a purely educational planet, the highest administrative body of White Candle Star is not the Mage Council, but the Ministry of Education directly appointed by the Crystal Tower Supreme Council.The Minister of Education at that time, Barkomon Pahlavi Bast, was a veritable leader, the man who held the highest power on the planet.

"How should I report this matter? No matter how you look at it, it is too suspicious. Such a mistake at this time is likely to anger the minister. But if it is ignored like this, if a big mistake is made in the future, the entire civilization may will be affected.”

From the perspective of outsiders, Professor Atkerz is only 78 years old, and he has served as the chief of the college committee, governing the alliance of [-] colleges and universities, and is responsible for the adjustment of student sources and the allocation of planning resources for each college. He is already a high-ranking bureaucrat with a bright future. scenery.

But even so, when Atkez thought of dealing with Minister Balcomon, he raised ten thousand thoughts.

Because this minister had just returned from the experience of the second-level star abyss—Jingyuan, and had already suffered the curse of going up, with a strange personality.

There are rumors that he was once the biological flesh and blood of a certain elder mage in the Supreme Council. He was supposed to stay on the mother planet, but because of the curse of floating up, he was distrusted and excluded, and he was afraid of his strength, so he was placed in the The education planet in the rear will not waste talents, and will not worry about problems.

Atkez has never been to Star Abyss. As a young man who has just entered the Jota (Ι, ninth Greek letter) class, he does not intend to dive too early to break through the shackles, and the Minister of Education has really returned from the battlefield The Kappa stage (Κ, the tenth Greek letter), as long as he wants, this planet will disappear in an instant.

Atkez explained:
"After all, you can cheat on objective questions, but you can't cheat on subjective questions. No matter how one avoids it, it can't change that he is a person affected by subjective emotions. His words will reveal the author's own thoughts and soul. You Through the works, you can see the author's position, knowledge, education, and even emotional status and whether he has physical experience—after our test, he did not cheat."

"It's okay, I don't have any work today."

"I didn't expect—there is such a genius in the abyss? If I remember correctly, after the reform of the exam 20 years ago, the number of questions has increased by 40%. In five days, for a mortal (Gamma order) , People who can finish it are already very good, but it took him 5 minutes? Has he already become a superhuman?"

"We initially suspected that he was cheating, or using magic or technological means, but it turned out that everything was normal, there were no traces of plug-ins in the background, and the magic fluctuations were also very stable, ruling out the possibility of cheating."

As soon as he entered the door, the first thing he saw was not the desk, but an oil painting hanging high on the wall. Incarnation of a giant, standing upright, bursting out of the abdomen, holding the umbilical cord, whipping the flames and thick smoke like a whip, countless praying mantises are riding human beings as big as spaceships, shooting towards the soles of the baby's feet with popcorn Beer bottle caps, tearing open green wounds, gurgling gold coins and porridge.

Unfortunately, he didn't know whether the information he was going to report would affect or stimulate the minister.

Atkez can understand every element in the picture, but when combined, he can only feel physical discomfort and terror.He seemed to be able to understand the implication in the picture, but the overly abstract expression and abundant emotion completely overwhelmed his rationality.

Balkomon was happy, and on his face distorted by the invisible force, there was a strange and crooked smile, which was extremely ghostly and frightening, which made Atkez feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Balcomon didn't care:

"It's good for you to think so, but I'm afraid that something will happen, and I have to let you take the responsibility."

"Hmph, I have seen Hercules, the general of the [Empire of Heroes], who is arrogant, short-sighted and arrogant. In the star abyss, if they hadn't been in groups and shared the curse, on their own, they would still I may not be as good as me."

"Sit down, this is not a narrative site, you don't need to stand when you talk to your superiors."

"People's creativity is always so barren."

Balcomon was surprised:

"This, there is still a problem with the specifics, you will know it at a glance."

"Then it's a good thing. Our planet has such a genius—quickly contact the Supreme Council and pull this young man into the 'Crystal Palace'. He will be our focus in the future."

"Minister Barcomon, this student only took 5 minutes to take the exam."

"Isn't it good to talk about the gods, not to mention, he is also the main god who holds the [Looter] path."

"That painting is a special product brought out from the Star Abyss. Fortunately, it was not confiscated by the Narrative Level."

It's not a good job, and you have to bear great psychological pressure when you come into contact with someone like the minister.

"So, you came here to tell me: Minister, we found a treasure? Is that so?"

So Atkez quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Narrative-level civilizations are the overlords of the universe. They are used to being domineering, and they feel that the whole universe has to revolve around them."

Balcomon muttered:

"You're right, a cheap name is easy to support."

"Don't worry, people from [Temple of Annihilation] and [Empire of Heroes] scolded them together. I have never seen such a cheating teammate. I will never cooperate with them again."

"Oh, how special is he? He actually made our youngest academy committee chief send it to me to discuss this issue in person."

The middle-aged man's voice sounded again, making Atkez wake up like a dream. He didn't dare to look at the picture again, but turned to look at the middle-aged man behind the maple table, and said respectfully:

"Come in."

"Minister Barcomon, I'm sorry to interrupt your work."

"What's more, Red King has already betrayed Xingyuan. Besides, the old man doesn't notice us little people at all, so feel free to scold me—by the way, you didn't come to me just to discuss Xingyuan, right? ?”

"Chief Atkez, there is no need to forcefully interpret the content of the painting."

Balkomon smiled knowingly, as if he remembered something happy:
"My father planned to name me 'Archimonde'—it is said to be the name of a great demon, I hope I will not be infested by demons in the future—too far away, let me look at the name of this Leozi Grades, objective questions, full marks, experimental questions, full marks, subjective questions, full marks, composition..."

Atkez also said half-pushed and half-said at this time, with a worried attitude:

Since Balkomon took the initiative to ask about his intentions, Atkez was relieved, and he said the words he had thought up:
"Minister Balkomon, we have recruited a special student in the magic qualification exam held by White Candle Star today."

The first time Atkez saw Balcomon, he was attracted by his temperament—it was a strange temperament, the light hit Balcomon's body, and it was faintly distorted, even though he knew that he was a soldier. His figure is upright, and his posture is sitting upright, but in the perspective of Atkez, Balkomon is not straight at all. His facial features and nose always give people a weird look like a spiral, constantly twisting and spinning .

When he talked about the narrative level, his tone was involuntarily aggravated, and dissatisfaction and resentment flashed across his eyes.

"Not to mention the people in [Annihilation Temple], a group of missionary lunatics, they have been searching for something called spirit maggots, for it, many people died, and several went crazy. There is also [United Enterprise] It’s a bad comparison, these people who believe in Red King really don’t have a good thing.”

"The name is Lioz, um, so-so, the name of a bad street, I can throw a stone and hit an unlucky guy with the same name and surname as the gods and angels, whether it's Red, Arthur, or Levi Tan..."

Balkomon is a stern-looking strong man. He has a bald head, a clean-shaven beard, inverted triangle eyes and a bear-like physique, making him look like a warrior like a warrior, not a mage at all. , but it's not the most striking.

Atkez's eyelids twitched, and he suggested cautiously:

Atkez's previous greetings made Balkomon's mood loose. This serious soldier even made fun of Atkez:
"Tell me quickly, you don't recruit a hairless mouse into the university, do you? Actually, it's not impossible, the Crystal Tower is a very open civilization. For non-human races and sub-human creatures, as long as they are not biochemical reproductive Pretends, or man-eating monsters with bad intentions, even silicon-based creatures and atmospheric creatures, we are happy to accept them to join-this is also a manifestation of our interstellar influence."

A calm middle-aged male voice sounded, Atkez adjusted his formal mage robe, and immediately opened the door to enter.

The implication is that it is all because of Xingyuan that he is like this.

Atkez touched his nose:
"Most parents will have certain wishes for their children, and some of them will also name their children some great people. Of course, there will also be some people who deliberately give their children bad names."

Balkomon saw Atkez's hesitation and weirdness, and explained casually:

Hesitating again and again, out of the basic qualities of a technocrat, Atkez decided to knock on the door.

Tee, Tee, Tee.

"Seven minutes?"

Balcomon took over the neat paper, and Atkez immediately noticed that where his fingers brushed, the text twisted unnaturally, as if the light would be bent by gravity, and the steel wire would be entangled in circles .

Balcomon did not forget to tell a bad joke:
"Although we have not connected with interstellar civilization."

Suppressing both physical and psychological discomfort, he submitted the student's information.

The more Balkomon looked, the weirder his face became.His face, which was already distorted by the irresistible invisible force, became even more distorted.

He spread out the materials and carefully read each line, his eyes were serious and stern, his brows were knit together, and the veins on his ferocious bald head were bulging, like earthworms, looking hideous and terrifying.

Balcomon put his hands on the table and stood up slowly. He paced around the office with the report in hand. He first went to the bookcase, shook his head back and forth, and frowned.Afterwards, as if Atkez didn't exist, he just sat on the sofa, scratched his ears, rested his chin, and almost squeezed his face together.

After a while, he put his hands behind his back again, walked to the window, and looked at the white candle star surrounded by a white atmosphere outside the orbit around the earth.
