The piece of paper that attracted Xia De's attention was made of parchment, and a corner was suppressed by the book "Psychology and Abnormal Psychology", but it only covered the inscription and did not affect the main content:
【Academy Reward Order

Remark 2: For specific information about the relic [Forged Philosopher's Stone], please consult the academy in detail.
Remark 3: The Orthodox Church has received this information. If you intend to complete the task, please be careful not to reveal your identity to the church. 】
Below is the concealed inscription, which seems to be an announcement jointly issued by the Public Affairs Management Office of St. Byrence Comprehensive College and the School of Mechanical Engineering.
"What if it is exposed to the Orthodox Church? I forgot to ask the doctor just now."
Xia De thought to himself, then put the file bag on the table, and sat back on the sofa.
So far, no one knows the secret that he can understand all kinds of strange languages, so it is unlikely that this thing was forged by a doctor. On the contrary, the appearance of this college reward order proves that the high probability that the doctor said is true.
"However, credits, academic assessment... are really scary words. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the era of steam civilization."
Xia De thought silently, recalling his life in his hometown. This made him more determined to contact the mystery and find a way to go back.
It's just that I didn't expect that I would still have to study and take exams in a different world. What's more, you may have to write a thesis.
"There are always more solutions than difficulties."
He thought to himself, patiently waiting for the doctor to come back.
Although the doctor had a treat not long ago, I had lunch at the goose restaurant. But because the horrific scene he saw in the morning was so impressive, Xia De actually didn't eat a few mouthfuls.
At this time, I have a plan for the future, I feel better, and the feeling of hunger also comes up. So, taking advantage of the doctor's absence, he asked Mrs. Carla for some snacks, saying that he wanted afternoon tea.
The doctor probably explained that Xia De was a distinguished guest, so when the maid wearing a floral apron knocked on the door and entered, Xia De saw that she was carrying a porcelain plate.
"This is Mr. Schneider's collection."
The middle-aged maid smiled. She looked about forty years old, older than the blue-eyed doctor. With a plump figure, it fits Xia De's imagination of a middle-aged woman in an ordinary family in this era.
Although there is no big oriental country in this world, there are still porcelains, and porcelains are still precious. Only the special soil and technology in special regions can produce such high-quality goods.
Shad thanked Mrs. Carla and paid little attention to the china plates. He looked at the delicate yellow fluffy small cake on the plate, and the red cherry on the top of the cake that seemed to reflect light, and swallowed subconsciously.
"Xia De, don't lose face to people from other worlds!"
It was agreed to meet at two o'clock, but the doctor did not show up for a long time. If Xia De hadn't found no one stopping him from walking around when he went to the bathroom, he might have suspected that he had fallen into some kind of trap.
Because this is someone else's place, after confirming that he could leave at any time, Xia De returned to the original room and waited. He didn't have the bad habit of rummaging through other people's things, and he was worried that he would see documents that he shouldn't have read again, so he sat on the sofa boredly and looked at the interior decoration of the room.
I have been in this world for nearly 40 hours, and I have a higher understanding of the level of development of the country I am currently in. The characteristics of the steam age appear in all aspects of life, not only gas lamps and steam pipes, but also exquisite mechanical structure buckles appearing on various furniture, and lifting platforms controlled by large gears, pulleys and ropes on the side of the bookshelf. I have never seen it in my own world.
He never thought that he would be able to come to this kind of world. While he was hesitating, he also tried to exchange his knowledge for money. But he really doesn't know much, and he doesn't have an excellent photographic memory. He is still full of anxiety about the next life.
Dr. Schneider didn't show up until half past two. He had changed into a black coat now.
When he opened the door and came in, he began to apologize:
"I'm really sorry, something completely unexpected happened. I ordered a batch of sensitive medicine on the black market, no, don't show that expression, it's not for the patients in the clinic, I don't do that kind of thing. It was my own research on thaumaturgy, but something went wrong when receiving the goods, really bad luck.”
He sat down again while talking, and the maid also came in and offered a new pot of black tea to the two men:
"So, have you decided?"
The doctor asked solemnly, his blue eyes looked at Xia De's. Xia De observed the eye color of his own body in the mirror, and it was still the kind of dark brown that looked like black, which was the same as before.
"It's decided."
Xia De sat up straight and nodded, and gave the answer solemnly:
"I want to try to get in touch with that poet-level relic [Dream of St. Byrence Comprehensive College]."
A big smile appeared on the doctor's face:
"Although today's luck is not very good, I found that, Detective Hamilton, as long as it is related to you, it will always go well."
As one of the three thaumaturgy colleges, St. Byrence Comprehensive College has the ability to deliver [relics] remotely. But Xia De is not an official ring magician yet, so Dr. Schneider will naturally not let him know what this method is. UU reading www. uukanshu.com
After waiting alone in the room for more than ten minutes, the doctor opened the door holding a black cardboard box and walked in.
It was really a black carton, nothing but black. Xia De didn't even find out where the seams of the carton were in the first place.
"[The Dream of St. Byrence Comprehensive College] is a product of the last era, that is, the product of the fifth era. At that time, the college had just been established, and the legendary founder, the thirteen-ring magician Mana Filiana Miss, I got this [relic] after a summer nap. This [relic] must be stored in a black space, and it can be regarded as a [relic] with a relatively simple storage method."
"Is the academy only established in the last century?"
Xia De was a little puzzled, he thought it was an ancient organization that had been passed down for several epochs.
"Actually, the five Orthodox churches and the three thaumaturgy academies all appeared in the last era. Remember this common sense, the fourth era is an era of darkness and chaos, where evil and distortion run rampant in the world. The fifth era is the era of witches In our era, only women had the ability to cast spells, powerful witch emperors ruled the world, and city-states fought with each other. Civilization made no progress in the fifth era. It was a wild and primitive era, but it was equally terrifying. In the sixth era, extraordinary It is not obvious that human civilization has been able to advance to the present era in the hands of ordinary people."
The doctor didn't introduce the older era, and Xia De didn't ask, because the two were sitting on the sofa, and Dr. Schneider had already opened the box.
Looking at it with the probe, the paper box is covered with straw, and on the straw lies a delicate enamel and filigree snuff bottle, the size of a palm. The body of the pot is generally fetal blue, with bright yellow sunflowers painted on it, connected with golden lines, which makes people think of the happy time of summer.
