685 It Must Be Beautiful (2/2)

Ning Que said, ”The universe is limitless, this is normal.”

Headmaster looked at him and smiled, ”But you know this world isn't limitless.”

Ning Que could only keep silent.

The large ship continued sailing in the sea. They didn't meet with any storm. They would fish, feed the seagulls, sunbathe and drink the wine that was stored in the cabin. Such days were happy but Ning Que couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Headmaster didn't have much reaction. Besides enjoying life, he would only do two things.

He taught Sangsang to make the most delicious food in the world and to enjoy the finer things in life. He then ordered Ning Que to teach him things that weren't found in this world.

They were knowledge. Knowledge that didn't belong to this world.

Ning Que cut the paper tape and talked about the Mobius Strip. Drawing a 3D diagram on the paper with a pen, he described the different variations and talked about many things related to physics. However, when he came to this world, he was still young and no matter how good his results were, the things that he could talk about were very shallow.

The Headmaster didn't ask him where he got all his knowledge from. Ning Que didn't say either. The two of them seemed to have formed a certain chemistry between them, or perhaps, they both already knew well.

After traveling in the ocean for dozens of days, ships finally appeared on the sea surface.

The ships quickly got denser. The big black horse that was bored for a long time extended its head out of the side of the ship. Looking at these familiar humans, it hissed merrily, scaring the people on board those ships.

A thousand sails traveling between the green waves. It was a beautiful image. As Ning Que looked at it, he got increasingly silent. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still found it hard to accept.

After talking with the people on those boats, he knew that after traveling north for ten over miles, they would reach the southernmost port of the Great River Kingdom. In other words, they had returned to the mortal world.

Since leaving Far North cold region of the Wilderness, the ship was always traveling north. How could it have reached the south? Headmaster didn't use his great powers, how did all these happen?

Ning Que looked at the shadows of the sails in the distance and murmured, ”It is not the case of seeing the tip of the sail first then the ship's body. This means the world is indeed flat. How then did we come back?”

Headmaster brought over a glass of wine and walked over to him before saying, ”Back when we were at the mountain behind the Academy, we have discussed something similar. I said that if it was a ball, it would describe many phenomena. But since the world we are in isn't a ball and it isn't flat, it can only mean that it is twisted.”

”Just like the strip you mentioned.”

Ning Que said, ”I have never seen such a strange world.”

Headmaster took a sip of the wine and said, ”What is the world that you have seen before?”

Ning Que looked at the meaning in his teacher's eyes, not knowing what to say.

The Headmaster said, ”The world that you said you have seen in your dreams, can you describe that world?”

Ning Que was silent for a long time before saying, ”The world that I had dreamt... it has a sun too.”

”What did that sun looked like?”

”Almost the same as this one... but I am sure that the sun in my dream is real. It is a big fireball that can burn for many years. All the energy and nutrients basically come from it. As to how it can burn for such a long time, they come from the formula that I talked to you about a few days ago.”

”Oh, that was a simple and beautiful yet infinite formula.”

”Yes... the humans in the dream also live on a ball.”

”And they wouldn't fall because there is an attractive force between everything?”

”Yes, teacher.”

Time slowly passed as the teacher and disciple discussed. This was the first time the Headmaster had any interactions with another world. It was the first time that Ning Que had discussed that world to anyone else. The one listening sighed with emotions while the one saying was filled with emotions too.

As night descended on the surface of the sea, stars filled the night skies.

Ning Que looked at the night sky and said, ”The world that I dreamed of has stars in the night sky too. However, they are moving. They move in our vision because of the ground under the people's feet. In actual fact, in the seemingly limitless and far space of the universe, they are moving too.”

Headmaster sighed and said, ”A world that is constantly changing, what kind of vitality must it have.”

Ning Que said, ”The largest difference isn't the stars, it is the moon.”

He pointed to the night sky and said, ”If there are no clouds in the night sky, people would be able to see the moon Sometimes it is as round as a biscuit but at times, it is as thin and curved as a slice of melon.”

He didn't explain why the moon would change but he knew that his teacher would definitely understand.

The Headmaster lifted his head to the skies. It was as if he saw a bright moon appearing as he smiled and said, ”The bright moon is born in the long night, that must be a pretty image.”
