Chapter 336 Theology
As the highest institution of learning in the entire empire, Thousand Cities College has a total of [-] students. They come from all corners of the country, from different beliefs, from the provinces directly under the empire or the protons of the joined kingdoms. The common name "Thousand Cities" is not It's free.

All subjects in the college are elective. Except for some subjects that require a bachelor’s degree in other subjects as a prerequisite, students have a lot of autonomy in choosing courses. For convenience, Ainos chose the same subjects as herself for Mira. : Ancient Chinese, Military Science, Theology.

Mira didn't complain that she couldn't choose a subject by herself, on the contrary, she was very grateful to Enos for helping her make a choice, otherwise she would be so distressed that she would lose her hair if she looked at nearly twenty subjects on the bulletin board.

After entering the college, Mira put on her academic attire to go to class early every day, and she was basically the first group of people in the classroom. No matter how boring all kinds of things in the world are, they are novel to Mira, and she enjoys them hungrily. A boring class in the eyes of others, even if it is an ancient Chinese class.

Except, of course, theology.

Qiancheng College is well-known in the empire and even in the world regardless of its disciplines, especially theology. Once a pious emperor compared the theology of the college to the pearl of the pearl, and awarded a higher status to the bachelors of theology. , Driven by fame and fortune, theology of Qiancheng College has almost become a compulsory course in electives, and many of those dignitaries with prominent backgrounds are proud to have studied for a bachelor's degree in theology.

But for Mira, the theology taught in this class was too outrageous.

Both the professors and the students, the theology they tell is very different from what they know in heaven.

Taking the birthday of rebirth 3000 years ago, in the orthodox theology of the empire, rebirth first came to Deschanel, and spread to the whole world centered on Deschanel. At the same time, everyone’s rebirth time is different, First the righteous and then the unrighteous, first the good and then the evil, first the old and then the young, first the male and then the female...

Every step in this has a corresponding topic, and every topic has a sea of ​​papers.

Mira can understand that there are so many issues, so many theses, but the point is that these issues and theses are all based on a false foundation.

This situation brought great shock to the child from heaven.

In addition to the theology related to the rebirth day, there are many other theories that are the same. For example, Soramus’s thousand-year travel is completely due to the will of God, or the angels are just tools of God...

Mira clearly saw these fallacies, and knew exactly where they were wrong, but she could hardly correct them. People were more willing to believe in the teachings promulgated by the patriarchs and emperors of the empire, and the theology that had been steeped in theology for decades. professors.

"I'm always distressed."

After returning to the mansion, Mira and Enos said.

"You mean, what you know is true, and what they say is false?"

Her Royal Highness sighed, put down the wine in the glass and said,

"Anyway, it's a bit..."

"Well, I know, no one will believe what I say."

Mira was discouraged, and she took a sip of the wine.

In fact, the wines of this era do not have much alcohol taste, and the concentration is not too high. Even a three-year-old child can drink more than a dozen glasses. Honey is added for sweetness, or "sapa", which is boiled and concentrated unfermented grape juice, which is said to be sweeter when boiled in a lead pot.

But unfortunately, there are not many lead mines in Deschanel, so lead is not popular throughout the empire. In addition, herbalists have discovered that lead is harmful to the human body, and only a very small number of people will use it. Sapa is boiled in a lead pot.

"Is there nothing in theology that you are satisfied with?"

Ainos asked after Mira swallowed the wine.

"Actually, there are. For example, whether angels are phantoms created by God or have substance, and for example, there is no telling about time, and whether everything around us is a fiction of God..."

Mira cited many examples at once. It seemed that even though she didn't like the fallacies that the professors regarded as truth, she still listened to every class very seriously.

"Theology...is such a vast subject...

sometimes i think,
Why didn't God think so much? "

Mira said with emotion.

Then, she added:

"Maybe God thought about it, but we don't know."

Her voice fell to the ears, and Princess Enos did not continue the discussion on this topic. Of course, she can talk about theology, but this is not out of her interest, but out of communication and etiquette needs.

What's more, she has another thing to say now.

After drinking the wine in the glass, Ainos cleared her throat and said softly:
"Mira, I think you should have noticed these days that there are different groups and different circles in the college. They tend to walk together and get along more closely than other students."

Mira looked at Enos, her eyes were a little bright,

"Of course, I've seen several."

In these institutions of higher learning, professors and students often enjoy many privileges, one of which is the freedom of association. In Qiancheng College, there are many associations based on academic or political reasons, and some associations are relatively loose. You can come and go freely, while some associations have strict management. Members will uniformly wear some kind of badge, armband, or tie a ribbon around their waist.

"So do you want to join my poetry club?

Mira can think more about it, I don't mind if you learn about other associations.

However, I believe you will choose my poetry club in the end. "

Ainos spoke slowly, seeing the look of anticipation in Mira's eyes, she couldn't help being a little proud, although it was completely within her expectations.

"What's the name of your poetry club?"

"Red Olive Poetry Club."

"Red olives? Why is it called that?"

"Because Red Olive was originally an association funded by the Olive Craftsman's Guild. The wealth accumulated by that guild is second only to the stonemasons' guild in the imperial capital, and the latter also has a corresponding association."

In order to let Mira know more about the empire, Ainos would often include some relevant little knowledge when introducing these things. As for whether Mira kept it in her ears, the princess was not too entangled.

"Then I'll join."

Mira immediately stood up and said, almost without the slightest hesitation, it seemed that she had great trust in Ainos.

Ainos was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the child to be so straightforward, then smiled and said:
"As the president, I welcome you on behalf of Red Olive, Mira."
