Chapter 16 Invitation for Admission to Correspondence Education

"Detective, now that the accident caused by the poet-level relic has been solved and helped you solve the trouble of the death of the former detective, then, let's return to the original topic."

The blue-eyed doctor on the single sofa looked at Shard:

"What do you think about St. Byrons College now?
Because the awakening time of the Ring Warlock is only 72 hours, the main training method of the Orthodox Church and the three colleges is actually recruiting from the core believers and the subordinate industries of the college, which is also more convenient for observation.But the two sides do not mind recruiting new blood that has nothing to do with their own power, but they are trained differently from those who are trustworthy. "

"Then can you give an example of how ordinary people, who were originally unrelated to the mystery, were treated after joining a church or academy?"

Xia De thought about it, chewed on the meaning of the words, and felt that it was reasonable to not have complete trust.

"Of course, for the Orthodox Church, those ring magicians who are not devout believers are not allowed to leave the diocese within ten years of their successful inauguration, and their access to church support will also be limited. It will take at least 20 years before they can be fully trusted.

For the three major colleges, the conditions are more complicated. We use correspondence education to cultivate talents who did not belong to the mysterious world.

All foreign students are taught by correspondence and cannot directly contact the college itself, let alone enter the college.Correspondence ring warlocks are divided into groups of 3 to 7 people, depending on the region.When there is at least one sixth-ring warlock, one fifth-ring warlock, and one fourth-ring warlock in the group, and more than 5 people meet the conditions, the group as a whole can pass the test and truly enter the academy.It must be the whole group, and no one can be abandoned, so as to ensure that the whole group supervises and guarantees each other. "

According to the doctor, this made Shade raise his eyebrows:
"If I join St. Byron's College"

Dr. Schneider nodded and agreed with Shade's guess. He pointed to himself:
"Then my group has five ring warlocks again. Now we have four people, and it is not convenient to disclose the specific information of the others before you join. But I promise, at least wait for you to meet the three rings before formal enrollment. The test. After all, we are still far from other conditions.”

That's why Bill Schneider is so enthusiastic about guiding Shade to join the Academy. "Wild" talents are really hard to find, probably only a little harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

Seeing that Xia De was still thinking, the doctor said again:

"Mr. Hamilton, I am very satisfied with you, your background, your background, and your attitude towards the mystery. When we saw the tragedy together a few hours ago, your unbearable and pretended composure, These are pretty good. Please consider my proposal carefully, the conditions here are very good."

"I don't understand why the Orthodox Church and the Academy are so wary of people like us?"

Xia De is still hesitant, it is difficult for outsiders to easily trust others in the early days of entering this world.

"You haven't become a ring warlock, so you don't know how dangerous this world is. The world is like a crazy ocean, the world of normal people, just a small island. And ring warlocks can go deep into the deep sea and get more, and also Therefore, it is easier to go crazy, and it is easier to be distorted by whispers from evil things and malicious distortions from nature. Even if we have an 'other me' to jointly resist those distortions and weirdness, it is easier for a ring warlock who has not been trained since childhood to take a wrong step. People get out of control, and that would be a pretty scary thing."

The doctor briefly introduced it, and it seemed that he did not dare to say it too clearly.Shade feels that perhaps the worldview of this world is not only steam and mysticism, but also agnosticism or the rules of Cthulhu culture.

"So, is it possible, without guidance and training, to become a ring warlock naturally?"

Shade asked again.

"It's impossible, you don't know the ring warlock, you don't know what it is. We mentioned in the morning that within 72 hours of the ring warlock's talent awakening, if you don't guide it, a lot of things will happen. Most of the cases are crazy. , A small number of cases are death, and in a very small probability, it will become a strange thing, a monster with flesh and blood, a spirit body that howls wildly. It is probably a terrible existence that you can imagine, and you will have nightmares at a glance. "

Hearing the doctor's words, Xia De completely understood the current situation. He sat up straight and concluded:
"I'm running out of time, I have to make a choice as soon as possible. And, if I don't agree to join St. Byrons Comprehensive College, then you definitely won't let me leave with today's memory."

Shade looked at the doctor, and the blue-eyed doctor nodded cautiously:
"I introduced at the beginning that the students of the three major colleges will hide their identities in the areas where the Orthodox Church exists. Yes, if you refuse, I will use some inconvenient means to erase your memory. I am good at manipulating Emotions, dreams, so you are also good at changing your memory. Of course, this is because you are just an ordinary person, and it is not so easy for a ring warlock."

Xia De does not think that the other party is threatening him because of the doctor's words. These means are for self-protection. Xia De understands that no one should accommodate him.

"If I erased the memory of today, I wouldn't know the 72-hour limit."

his further analysis.

"Yes, I think there may be new guests at the sanatorium in Tobesque. But don't worry, I have staff I know in all the sanatoriums in Tobesque. Just kidding, detective, We can relax a bit."

The doctor judged very cautiously:
"I won't force you to choose to join St. Byron's Comprehensive College, which I belong to, but as adults, we all have to pay for our choices. Besides, it's actually more free to be a Correspondence than the Church. You Such ordinary people who are not believers, once they enter the church's training system, can certainly be cared for by the church, but they are also unable to act freely.

But Correspondence Ring Warlocks are different. As long as they pass the exam every semester, get enough compulsory credits, complete the practical content, get enough practical credits, and don’t do anything like murder and arson, the college doesn’t care what we do.

Now, do you understand the difference between academic ring warlocks and church ring warlocks? "

"clear."

Xia De nodded, just listening to the doctor's words, it is true that the academy has an advantage.

"The three major thaumaturgy colleges are the St. Byrons Comprehensive College, which is proficient in the containment and utilization of [relics]; the Zalaswen College, which is proficient in the thaumaturgy developed by the element spirit runes, that is, the use of magic in the story; Higher medical schools, they know everything, but they are particularly good at alchemy.

This is not only my opportunity, Mr. Hamilton, but yours as well.Can you enter the ring warlock training system through formal channels, not through cult organizations and secret societies, do you know what a rare opportunity this is? "

Again, the doctor said, his profession made him very good at persuading people.

The hesitant Xia De also nodded again. Although the original owner's head may not work well, he is an outsider in the world. Even though he is only in his 20s, he has his own judgment:
"So, how do you prove that what you have said so far is true? So far, all the information I have received is from you."

Shade asked seriously.

Although he was suspicious of the doctor, Dr. Schneider was very happy, which meant that the young man in front of him was moved.

"I can apply to the academy for that poet-level (level 5) [relic] to prove what I've said. But once I do, the academy will know that I've found a brand new talent on my side. The academy won't You are forced to enroll, but your identity information will be recorded. So, do you want to contact the poet-level relic [Dream of St. Byrons Comprehensive College]?"

"May I think about it? Give me two hours? No, one hour, I want to think about what happened today."

The amount of information was too great for Shade to make an immediate decision.But my heart is inclined to trust the doctor, so I ask for some time to think.

"No problem, after all, this information is too much for ordinary people. You can think about it here, or you can leave here. It just so happens that I have some small things to deal with, so let's."

The doctor looked at the clock in the corner of the room. The lower end of the pendulum in the glass window was a heart-shaped metal part:
"Meet you here at two o'clock in the afternoon."

"No problem, I'll be right here."

Shade said that it makes no difference where to think.If the doctor wants to be unfavorable to him, there is no need to wait until now. The sanatorium just now is a good place to kill.

"If you stay here, here are some college admissions materials that are inconvenient to get outside. You can take a look. I'll come back after I've dealt with things. If you need anything, you can ask Mrs. Kara for help."

Mrs. Carla was the middle-aged maid who served the tea just now.
