While speaking, Dr. Schneider took a sip of black tea, and then looked inside the teacup with some surprise:
"This black tea is very good."
"Churches and colleges?"
Xia De was not in the mood to pay attention to the former detective's taste in black tea, and what kind of person the former detective was. He was digesting this information.
"Yes, the church can also train ring warlocks. In fact, the formal channels for training ring warlocks, at least in my opinion, are the five orthodox churches and the three thaumaturgy academies, other evil **** churches, secret societies, ancient Organizations and messy groups, training methods are either irregular or full of hidden dangers. So, you are lucky to meet me during the awakening of talent... the luck of the two of us."
"Then the church..."
Compared with the academy whose origins are unknown, Xia De is actually more interested in churches that can cooperate with the kingdom's officialdom. The doctor can also see this kind of thinking. He smiled and shook his head to express his understanding, and explained:
"The college and the Orthodox Church are not hostile, and even cooperate occasionally. It's just that the church doesn't like college students, whether they are correspondence students or regular students. They think that we are... a dangerous machine that attracts trouble."
He slightly raised his eyebrows, seeing that Xia De didn't ask, he continued:
"So, the existence of us correspondence academic ring magicians is not illegal, but we usually don't let the church know our identity and existence. I know, you may be interested in the church, then please answer my question—"
The corner of the doctor's mouth curled into a smile:
"Entry into the church requires a completely clean background. Even if you are not innocent and have a criminal record, you also need a complete life track to make sure you are not a dangerous person. Can you provide it?"
Bill Schneider is a psychiatrist himself, and at this moment he has some intentions to consult the patient.
"Have you investigated me?"
Xia De blurted out the words, but immediately regretted saying this:
"It's abnormal not to investigate."
I thought about it.
"It's just to investigate some basic information. After all, the college recruits students and also needs to determine the identity of the other party. I can't recommend dangerous people to the college. But because we are only teaching by correspondence, do you understand the meaning of correspondence? So the requirements for identity are not as good as those of the church. strict."
Dr. Schneider smiled and looked at the young detective sitting across from him:
"The awakening of a ring warlock has a probability of affecting people's minds. That's why you changed from the original Shade to the current Shade. After investigating your identity, I realized that when I saw you yesterday, there seemed to be fear of the world in your eyes." And dazed, what is going on. For you, the moment you awaken your talent is the real 'waking up', right?"
He probably misunderstood Xia De, who has a problem with IQ, and became the reason why Xia De is now, but Xia De also liked him to think so, so he pretended to be nodding his head desperately:
"If I take this explanation and explain it to the church..."
"Of course it is also possible, but I would like you to learn more about the academy first and what the so-called 'ring warlock' is. Wouldn't it be better to make a decision like this? I believe you can understand, at least I am not a bad person."
Dr. Schneider said, Xia De nodded again, the doctor was right. He replied solemnly:
"Well then, thank you, Dr. Schneider, I would like to understand these things first."
The doctor took out the pocket watch from his pocket and took a look:
"We don't have much time. The duration of talent awakening is about 72 hours, but it fluctuates with individual differences. In order to prevent missing time..."
"What happens if you become a Ring Warlock without being guided during the awakening?"
Xia De embarrassedly interrupted the doctor:
"I'm a little curious about that."
The doctor shook his head indifferently:
"Curiosity is a good thing, it means that you don't reject ring magicians and mysticism.
People like you know almost nothing, but are actually more suitable for guidance. People are afraid of the supernatural, afraid of the mysterious, and I'm glad you didn't show any repulsion, just curiosity. As for your question... I don't have specific data in my hand, I can only tell you that if there is no guidance during the awakening of the Ring Warlock's talent. There is a high probability of going crazy, and a small probability of head explosion. Yes, have you ever seen a picture of a hammer smashing a watermelon? Pink and white flying around. "
The doctor asked politely.
"No need to describe, this metaphor is too vivid, I have almost seen the picture."
"Okay then, of course, there is still a lesser probability that some strange things will happen. We can talk about this later. In short, first let you know about Ring Warlock. A simple explanation is not vivid, please follow me."
The doctor stood up.
"Where? To St. Byrences Comprehensive College?"
Xia De raised the college admissions documents in Yang's hand.
"Of course not. Those of us correspondence students are only eligible after the fifth grade to go to the college hidden in the extreme northern ice cap of the old continent. The address of the college is a secret. Outliers, and until then we go on with our own lives, learning within our own sphere. Remember, Mr. Hamilton, we are in adult education, and we are correspondence students at the College."
In other words, even if Shade joins the college, he doesn't need to study in a secret place like "Hogwarts". This has advantages and disadvantages, but at least it is free while gaining power.
"Now, I'm going to take you to find the man who killed Sparrow Hamilton."
The doctor made a gesture of please.
"What?"
Xia De stood up suddenly, which was something he did not expect.
"Yes, I only found out about this when investigating your identity. Since there have been extraordinary and mysterious beings around you, why don't we take this opportunity to help you solve this problem? You may also be worried, that killer Will the person who killed the original Hamilton detective implicate you?"
It must be admitted that even though the original detective had promised not to implicate Shad, Shad was still worried.
"This is not a very troublesome matter, and the other party seems to have deliberately concealed the traces of his actions because Sparrow Hamilton is just an ordinary person. Come with me now, I think we can solve this matter before lunch thing. By the way, do you have a pistol?"
the doctor asked again.
"No."
Shad shook his head.
"Then please don't stand in front of me. I guarantee that as long as you are behind me, there will be no danger today. After all, the opponent is not a ring warlock."
Sparrow Hamilton said the other was before he died.
"Ordinary people can't tell the difference, and it is easy to regard anyone who can use extraordinary power as a ring warlock. But for a formally inaugural ring magician, it is easy to distinguish. After all, that person has no [Destiny Wheel Ring] at all, no accumulation Spirit, can't feel the four elements of [miracle] [enlightenment] [blasphemy] [whispers], it's just a lucky chance to get the [relic]..."
The doctor paused, then changed his words:
"No, it's the unlucky guy."
"You seem to have mentioned a lot of nouns just now."
Xia De said that he had actually heard of the four elements and the [relic], but there was no need to show it at this time.
"It's okay, we can talk while walking."
The profession of detective is very dangerous. During the investigation of the doctor, the former detective Sparrow Hamilton, UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com encountered an accident in a certain detective activity.
Presumably to prevent Shad from investigating, Sparrow Hamilton deleted all records of that commission before his death, but the doctor's intelligence network completely restored the incident.
"Speaking of which, you investigated the whole thing in one night?"
Xia De didn't forget to ask, but the doctor didn't answer vaguely, but said to tell him after the matter was over.
"right here."
The two set out from the square in a carriage (the doctor paid for it), and after a journey of nearly two hours, they crossed the city and got off the carriage on the embankment next to the Auxerre River.
As the capital of the northern king, Tobesk City has a well-developed water system, and inland river shipping supports the prosperous steam industry and commercial trade here.
Several rivers pass through the city of Tobesk, among which the Oser River is the river that flows through the northern part of the city. Now is the high water season in summer, and the river is turbulent.
This neighborhood is already close to the edge of the city. The doctor said that the city hall has plans to build a new factory area nearby, relying on the river traffic of the Oser River, to find new development opportunities for Tobesk City, and to connect the industry in the north of the kingdom. District, also as a complement to the Kingdom's steam locomotive railway network.
But at least for now, there is still a large area of wasteland nearby. After getting off the car and looking around, in the hazy fog, only the buildings of Tobesk can be seen in the distance.
"In order not to disturb him, we started walking from here. I noticed that the boots you are wearing are very suitable for long journeys. Mr. Hamilton, you probably haven't eaten breakfast yet. I will treat you to dinner after this matter is resolved."
The doctor said, carrying his briefcase, and Xia De, who was holding a notebook, walked into the grass beside the road. Not long after, the two saw a path.
