The professor and Conseil probably belong to different social classes.
Conseil might be the servant of the professor because of the following reasons:

(1) He never called the professor his title or his name, but called him master(line 14,line 20);

Conseil seems to be a kind and loyal person because
Conseil swears he will drown before he leaves the
professor.(line 24)
