"So, how's it going?"

"Professor Aurora Noctis has promised to send a professor from the Department of Prophecy to assist in the investigation." Inspector Saffono Mattia, who had visited Aurora, hung his hat and coat on the coat rack and looked at The colleague sitting on the sofa said, "But I don't think this will help much. There are too many people who worship gods, and the cases always end without any resolution."

"That's not necessarily the case." The man with long black hair sitting on the sofa in the living room and puffing away had a different opinion. He didn't have the balding problem that British men often have in middle age. His long black hair was thick and even It made Detective Safno Mattia feel jealous, "It is said that Professor Aurora Noctis is the new professor. Maybe she will advocate to get to the bottom of it. This person is full of secrets."

"Why do you say that?" Detective Safno Mattia sat next to the long-haired man, poured himself a cup of still warm black tea, and picked up a cookie by the way.

"I searched for her information in the company when she first became the new professor of illusion, but found nothing. This person is as clean as if she has never been exposed to the mud on the street." The man with long black hair put the ashtray in the ashtray. Li knocked the ashes in his pipe, "I once applied to my superiors for access to in-depth information out of curiosity, but I still found nothing. Her name was not written on any piece of paper."

"I don't think Oligoros would agree to hand it over to you even if he had that information, Verlon." Inspector Safno Mattia is still willing to approach his colleagues during non-working hours, and he is not stingy. Alienating others because of her hair, "Our superiors are the epitome of rigidity."

"Ha, we are government employees, how can we get things done if we are rigid and stubborn?"

"But in the eyes of outsiders, we are just a private hydropower company. Compared with French hydropower companies, we are not even the slightest bit embarrassed."

Verlon didn’t quite understand his colleagues’ pursuit of water resources, “But we are government employees, not a real water resources company!”

"But some residents really came to us to repair their water pipes, and didn't you go there too?"

"I -" Verlon was speechless. Although he had lofty ideals when he first started working at the company, over time he had been tortured by numerous dead-end cases and applications for water pipe repairs and his nerves had weakened.In the end, when faced with the ridicule from his colleagues, he could only sigh, "That's not because you are all not here -"

"We want to take the case, a top student from University College London." Inspector Safno Mattia's teasing was full of goodwill, "We are just a newly established department. Oligouros thinks that if some trivial matters require special personnel to be dispatched, It will be a waste of funds, and as long as you sit here, we will have cookies and hot black tea." The detective saw that the joke did not make his colleagues happy, so he had to turn to another topic, "Can you tell me why you are so dissatisfied with Austria? Is Professor Laura Noctis that interested?"

"You know, Mr. Barres was once my mentor. Although I am not a graduate of the illusion department, Mr. Barres still taught me something."

"I know, because after the commotion caused by Mr. Barres, we all went to the scene to investigate. I remember you laughed at the traces of magic."

"I don't deny that I have the idea of ​​gloating, and Mr. Barres has actually used illusions to deceive us for many years. This is what makes us angry, but we can't see through the illusions because we are not smart enough. In short, for the new Professor of the Department of Illusion, I am very curious whether she used illusion to cover up her true appearance, Saffono, this is just out of curiosity." Verron sighed, and he took the hand from Inspector Safono Mattia. The white porcelain cup came over and he drank the warm tea in one gulp.Then he sighed, "It's none of my business anyway. The dean who never showed up must have his own considerations."

"Can you tell me more about the academy? Of course, it goes without saying anything involving confidentiality. I won't ask for trouble." Inspector Safno Mattia pulled the collar of his shirt and winked. , "But my title can also tell me something, can't it?"

"Well, Sir Mattia, as you know, cases of evil worship are as eye-catching as the hair on your head among countless ordinary cases. And the academy taught magic in the Middle Ages in order to fight against cultists. , do you think there are no wizards among the Crusaders?"

"Then the Anglican Church——"

"We are all in the same group, Sir Mattia, we are just not easy to deal with. In the history I have learned, all magic is attributed to King Solomon, and the attribution of authority to God is a metaphor, indicating that humans can explore the In order to seek sublimation of inner spirituality, through learning the ten sources and three pillars, we can achieve the purpose of walking with the inner divinity. And among the spells and rituals I understand, the names of those angels are just pronouns. An angel’s The name represents many meanings." Verron gently placed the white porcelain tea cup on the table, "And I don't need to go into details about the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, if you pass the history course. In the eyes of wizards, they are just It just re-binds human spirituality. What I learned in my first class at the academy is that only weak people will believe in gods."

"Why did wizards exist so early and why didn't they eliminate the cultists?" Inspector Safno Mattia leaned on the sofa. The living room had such heavy solid wood furniture thanks to Verlon, and everyone was happy to do so. Become a salary thief, but the detective still wants to know more about the wizard's history.

"Think of Merlin, Sir." Verlon smiled, "Wizards generally only serve nobles and the military, and because cultists have been too active for more than 100 years, the royal family agreed to let the academy teach magic to civilian students. Although I don't What’s the point of learning magic now? Steam-powered armor and high-pressure mercury steam rifles can do many things that magic can do. These things are very useful for cultists. I don’t deny that these things are made possible by the help of alchemists. can be realized, but I think humans will develop to this point sooner or later, and magic just helps humans take a shortcut. Those wizards who stay in the academy for further studies after graduation are all people who pursue the highest wisdom, and I am a pragmatist ."

"Is this why you were recommended for the job?" Detective Safno Mattia.

"In addition to filling the vacancies on the front line, I think part of the reason is that my alchemy results are excellent." Verlon also leaned on the sofa chair. He felt the softness behind him and smiled at the detective, "I It can still solve some common problems of middle-aged men.”

"I already have a son and a daughter. Thank you for your kindness. I think I don't need it." Detective Safno Mattia quickly shook his head. He did a good job in maintaining male dignity.

"I'm talking about the hair."

Inspector Safno Mattia jumped up from the soft chair as if he had been greatly insulted, "It's not baldness!" He said, waving his arms, "It's just heredity."

"Of course, of course, you can say whatever you want, anyway, it can't change the fact that you have thin hair on top of your head." Verlon said with a smile.

Then Detective Safno Mattia came over again with a flattering smile, "But I have a friend, my friend, not me. If you have this problem, can you..."

"Only ten pounds, my friend." Verlon tapped his pipe on the cork cushion of the ashtray, "My alchemy can solve this problem, and I will solve it for your friend."

"That would be great." Inspector Saforno Mattia sat down with a smile, "Why don't we drink some Genting whiskey and have a good cigar, and then you tell me about magic, We can have a nice afternoon."
