Firefly Journey

Cassius glanced around, frowning, seemingly dissatisfied with the classroom layout.

The students sat in pairs. There were originally nine people, not counting Ario, but Lin Yuanran didn't know where to sit when he first arrived, so he just found a seat randomly.

Fwayne sat next to Paninger, Sabrina sat with "Summoner" Mirash, and Upton sat next to Allen.

The other three should have been enough for one table, but Lü Jianming was too noisy and arrogant, so no one wanted to sit with him.

Fengling didn't hang out with Hauglis either, for a simple reason: she had said at the beginning of her enrollment that she hoped to graduate quietly.

Lü Jianming and Hauglis were clearly not quiet types.

Cassius looked away and smiled at Lin Yuanran, "It's not good to sit alone, go to the left."

"???"

These words surprised everyone except for Feng Ling and Lin Yuanran.

Because to the left of Ario's passageway is Wind Chime's table, which has been empty for a long time, and Wind Chime certainly wouldn't agree to that, otherwise it would have been empty for so long.

Lin Yuanran knew that they were going to change her seat to next to Feng Ling, which seemed pretty good, at least she had excellent grades and could solve many problems.

Just when everyone thought Fengling would refuse, she did something that greatly disappointed everyone.

The desk is quite long, but it is divided into two drawers in the middle by a wooden board. After studying for so long, I have a lot of miscellaneous things, and it's impossible for Fengling to put them all into her portable "Venus".

Since no one had been around for a long time, the drawer was naturally unclaimed, and it contained many of her belongings.

Now, after hearing Cassius's words, she actually reached in and took the things out, intending to give Arioten some space.

Lin Yuanran didn't think anything of it and obediently listened to the teacher, taking all the textbooks that Sabrina had given him.

Cassius smiled slightly; in fact, he had considered it.

The wind chimes are renowned for their power, while Ario is a complete novice. He already has a good mentor, but he needs to find a helpful friend to assist him and avoid taking many detours.

Although Sabrina also fits the description of a "good friend," firstly, she already has a deskmate, and secondly, Wind Chime and she had spent time together in Torreg Town and their relationship wasn't bad, making them the perfect match.

Actually, his seating arrangement made sense. Few and Paninger complemented each other well. Few was a bit temperamental, while Few was easygoing and wouldn't hold a grudge against her.

Upton, nicknamed "The Tortoise," is exceptionally talented but lacks self-confidence. Alan, on the other hand, is understanding and composed, easily influencing him and gradually making the chubby boy more extroverted.

It can be said that Cassius Bello devoted himself wholeheartedly to teaching and nurturing students, and can definitely be considered a "good teacher".

After rearranging the seats, Cassius opened his book and said, "Take out 'Geographical Anecdotes'."

Everyone did as instructed, and no one found it strange, knowing what the teacher wanted to do.

Ario was new to the world and his understanding of the supernatural was incomplete, so Cassius wanted to give him some basic common sense.

Using a geographical location as a starting point is the best approach.

Moreover, even though Cassius had mentioned this before, it was only a partial explanation, so it was understandable to reinforce it for everyone.

Lin Yuanran asked softly, "Have you been alright these past few days?"

Feng Ling asked, "What could possibly be wrong with me?"

Lin Yuanran said, "The evil god organization that attacked you..."

"fine."

"Oh." Having received the reply, Lin Yuanran didn't ask any more questions and continued attending class.

Cassius Bellow drew a simple map on the signboard, marking the different areas.

"At the easternmost edge of the Pan-Ancient Continent lies the boundless Starflow Sea. No one knows where its end is, and those who have ventured there have never returned, hence it is known as the 'Sea of ​​Terror'."

"Regarding the easternmost lands, I think someone has more authority to speak on this than I do, don't you think, Your Highness?"

Cassius's tone changed towards the end, because Lü Jianming was rubbing his chin on the table, his eyes were drooping, and he was about to fall asleep.

"Uh?" Lu Jianming realized that Cassius was asking a question and said, "Yes, no, maybe."

"Stand up and speak."

So Lü Jianming stood up like a child just starting school, not daring to look up.

“Your hometown is the farthest from the principality. The mysterious land of the East has always been the subject of countless legends. You were born there, so tell us about the stories and customs there. It will satisfy the curiosity of me and my classmates,” Cassius said.

All eyes turned to him. Lin Yuanran looked on with anticipation. He could only learn about the Pan-Ancient Continent through books and maps, which were never as exciting as vivid stories.

The amused Five and Paninger couldn't contain their smiles; seeing the Crown Prince of Great Chu suffer a setback was very satisfying.

The others were already used to it; Lü Jianming was often called upon by Cassius.

"What aspect would you like me to talk about?" Lü Jianming asked.

"Speak about the distinctive features."

“Alright.” Lü Jianming cleared his throat, seemingly eager to make a big splash: “Our Great Chu has been established for nearly four hundred years, through twenty-four emperors, dominating the Far East of the continent, suppressing all surrounding small countries and tribes, and its national strength is even more…”

Cassius said coldly, "I didn't ask about your history of how you made your fortune."

“Oh.” Lu Jianming changed the subject. “I’m sure everyone knows about the Seven Ancestral Gods and the God of Machinery. Their followers are all over the world, almost omnipresent. But my Great Chu is different.”

Lin Yuanran was very interested and pricked up his ears, not wanting to miss even a little bit. His current understanding of the Chu Kingdom was very one-sided, and naturally he didn't know as much as the locals.

In his mind, that was the ancient East of the original world, and the framework and people's lives should not be too different, since things like chopsticks came from there.

"Ten thousand years ago, the seven ancestral gods attained godhood and led all races to fight against demons, which brought us the peace we enjoy today."

When Lü Jianming said these things, there was a hint of disdain on his face, and he seemed to have a strange sense of contempt.

"The God of Light and Wisdom is the most powerful, His followers are the most fervent, and His influence has been the greatest for ten thousand years."

Following the God of War is the Goddess of Darkness, Ayepeya, and so on. Aside from the Sun God and the God of War, the other five major churches rarely appear and maintain a very low profile. But have you noticed that the Ancestral God Church has always had its own home territories throughout history?

Lin Yuanran thought about it and realized that it was true. Even after ten thousand years of development, the exchanges between the Ancestral God Churches have increased, and they even exchange various common "professions" promotion methods, but they all have their own areas with the highest influence.

For example, the Church of St. Philonise of the "Church of Light" is in Ibiza, the "Ancient Battlegrounds" is in Herokoi, and the Church of "Nature's Blessing" is located on the World Tree.

Apart from the mysterious Death God Church "Deathwhisper Grove" which has been missing for a long time, other Ancestral God Churches, such as "Dark Temple", "Floating City", and "Underworld Pact", all have fixed headquarters.

They are scattered all over the ancient continent, whether in the south or the north, but in the Far East alone, no church has ever taken root.

Why exactly?

Lü Jianming proudly provided the answer in his next words.
