Smelting everything from pirates

Chapter 609 Walking in the Campus

"I heard that a new professor in our school is Mr. Barrett." A female college student sat in the library with a book in her arms, looking at her classmates and said.

"Is Mr. Barrett the Mr. Barrett who wrote about the past?" Another female classmate asked very curiously.

The Past is a love novel written by Barrett. This novel is specially written according to the structure of Mary Sue, but at this time, it can definitely be regarded as a divine book. Many female readers, Call the old days the best romance novel they've ever read.

But a male classmate next to him said with some disdain: "What's so good about the past? It's not as good as Mr. Barrett's legend of King Arthur and the past of the Sun King. It's not even as good as God's sin."

Those female students were obviously dissatisfied when they heard what their male students said, so they said directly: "Then you are very reasonable. Then we have to have a good debate."

The male student saw that all the female students around him were surrounded, and he was obviously a little afraid, so he kept backing away, ready to find an opportunity to escape directly.

However, at this time, a classmate ran in from outside and said in the library: "Everyone! Mr. Barrett has come. He is walking in the direction of the library now, should we take a look? "

Walking the campus to guide Barrett was Professor Hawkins. In addition to teaching, this professor was also the dean of the school.

Barrett was invited to spend three years at Miskatonic University, where he taught ancient and modern literature.

In fact, Barrett still wants to teach them modern technology, but he also thought of this strange world of Cthulhu, so forget it, in the strange world of Cthulhu, there are as many civilizations with advanced technology as stars.

Professor Hawkins, who was leading the way, looked at Barrett and introduced: "In front of Mr. Barrett is the library of our school. The collection of books in the library has reached 12 volumes, some of which are from ancient Persia. The collection of books in the ancient Arab world, and even the collection of ancient India, the collection of Miskatonic University cannot be said to be the largest in the world, but it is definitely the most complete and richest.”

However, when Professor Hawkins was introducing Barrett, dozens of students swarmed out of the library.

Those students held the books written by Barrett in their hands, raised the books in their hands high, and shouted at Barrett: "Mr. Barrett, when will your class start?"

"Mr. Barrett, may I ask what kind of books do you want to write after The Way of the Pope is finished?"

"Mr. Barrett, why hasn't Raiders of the Lost Ark been updated?"

"Mr. Barrett, Mr. Barrett..."

Seeing the enthusiasm of the students really made Barret a little ashamed, so he walked out from behind Hawkins and said with open arms.

"Everyone, calm down for a while. My class will start in three days. It is in classroom 1 in the 302st teaching building. I hope everyone can come to participate, okay?"

Then he turned to look at Professor Hawkins and said, "Let's go to the library."

Professor Hawkins looked at the very young Barrett with a smile on his lips. Now Professor Hawking IV is very old, at least over 60 years old.

Looking at Barrett always felt like looking at his younger generation, then he nodded and led Barrett into the library of Miskatonic University.

In this library, there are a lot of good things, there is even a complete set of Necronomicon, and there is also a Necronomicon in Barrett's box, but there is definitely no Miskatonic University The Necronomicon in the library is so complete.

I don't know if I can find the full version of the Necronomicon, so I'll take a look.

Walking in the library, apart from some readers saying hello to Barrett and Professor Hawkins, most of the students were reading books.

It's just that in this place, there are a lot of ancient books. Barrett even saw a lot of bamboo slip books unique to ancient China, but because they are too old, Barrett dare not use them without special methods .

So I just glanced at it from a distance, recorded the words on the surface, and followed Hawkins to listen to his introduction.

"Because the school organized an expedition to Antarctica a few months ago, the number of professors staying in the school has been reduced by a large part. You must have met Professor Wald who teaches history and archeology. Besides In addition, Professor Wald still teaches occultism, Mr. Barrett, you came to the university to learn about occultism, and you should have a good chat with Professor Wald."

This surprised Barrett a little. He didn't expect that Professor Harvey Wald's main job was to teach occultism. This made Barrett regret that he didn't have a good chat with Professor Wald on the train. chat.

"Then what does Professor Hawkins mainly teach?" Barrett asked while walking in the library, stroking the bookcases and looking at Hawkins.

"I mainly teach geography and mechanics. In fact, at Miskatonic University, there are very few professors of literature like you, Mr. Barrett, and more of you are doing linguistic research, so Mr. Barrett can I am actually very happy to come to our school, and I can make up for our shortcomings in literature. But it would be even better if Mr. Barrett is willing to teach some philosophy." Professor Hawkins looked at Barre with clear eyes. Special, said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

But Barrett's research on philosophy is really not in-depth, especially in this era when idealism is very prosperous, people like Hegel can really rise, all because of the reflection of the West after World War II.

The current materialism has not reached a very high level, especially in places like Miskatonic University, it is too ridiculous to teach materialism.

So Barrett said directly: "That's really embarrassing, Professor Hawkins, my research on philosophy is far from reaching the depth of literature research. If I can, I can actually teach the language."

"Does Mr. Bardett have a deep study of linguistics?"

"That's not because I have a deep study of linguistics, but because I am familiar with many languages, including the languages ​​of ancient China, more than a dozen languages ​​in India, and even most of the languages ​​in Europe."

When Professor Hawkins heard what Barrett said, he was very surprised. He did not expect that the young man in front of him could know dozens of languages.

But in fact, in Barrett's mind, as long as he knows English, then with the addition of language fruits, the phonetic characters that are the same as English are actually very easy to understand.

In addition, Barrett's mother tongue was Chinese in his previous life, and learning ancient Chinese language is also very simple. In Barrett's eyes, the writing and language of the entire earth are divided into two parts, phonograms and ideograms.

The only difference is how to say it in words, so Barrett waved his hand.

Said that these things are just trivial matters.

"Mr. Barrett, if you have studied language and characters so deeply, and know so many languages, then besides teaching literature, you can really teach languages ​​well. I remembered a rumor, It is said that all the translations of your works are done by yourself, I did not expect this to be true.”

In fact, Hawkins suspected that Barrett might be bragging, but Barrett was also the best-selling novelist in the United States anyway.

There is absolutely no need to lie about this kind of thing, so after much deliberation, I feel that the Barrett in front of me should really know dozens of languages.

"It's nothing at all. Language has always been divided into two parts in my eyes. Some languages ​​are more difficult, but I haven't found a way to learn it."

In the eyes of Barrett, most of the languages ​​and characters on the entire earth do not have any secrets at all. Literature is the creative use of characters, and Barrett possesses the ability of language and characters. For the language of the earth The use of it can be said to be close to God.

That's why Barrett's writing and novels are so popular.

"It seems that we still need to invite Barrett to become the professor of linguistics in our school." Professor Hawkins said with a smile on his lips, looking at Barrett.

"Let me take you to see your office and teaching place first."
