Luvia did not leave Xia De's house this morning. The two of them had been talking about the fourth candidate all morning. After having lunch together at noon, she and Xia De, who was holding the cat, took a four-wheel ride. Rent a carriage for a meeting at Dr. Schneider's clinic.
There was another light snow at noon, but it stopped when we reached the Roentgen Avenue.
Since this week's Tobesk was apparently uneventful, the group of five had nothing new to share. In addition to re-emphasizing the importance of the exam week next month, the doctor also reminded everyone to pay attention to anti-theft:
"I heard from the black market that a humanoid relic good at stealing recently appeared in the city."
The doctor spoke his own news:
"This kind of relic is aimed at everyone, but it is more inclined to steal ring warlocks. There have been local ring warlocks who have stolen important items. Be careful to guard against theft, but don't use ring warlock methods, otherwise the opponent will become very powerful .As long as our anti-theft measures are tight enough, even if it finds us, it will give up stealing."
Xia De remembered what he had heard from Professor Manning, so he said:
"An ordinary old professor I know was stolen. The thief hooked the latch on the inside of the window with a wire, opened the window on the first floor and entered the room to steal a vase."
"I have heard similar things."
Priest Augustus said while wiping his pipe:
"Old Birmingham, who often visited the church, had his only photo taken with his dead wife stolen. The thieves stole during the day. They brought a large wooden box disguised as mailed goods and placed it at the door. The thieves hid it in a wooden box. Inside the box, saw the door from the side close to the door, enter the room to steal, and then return to the wooden box."
He shook his head:
"Who would a normal person think of this kind of theft?"
"I also listened to other prophets talking about this relic in the association."
Luvia also shared an anecdote:
"Miss Lane, who lives in the east district of Tobesk, about two blocks away from here, was stolen from the pearl necklace passed down by the family. But this time the thief neither damaged the door nor opened the window. Miss Lane was not at home, smashed open the back wall of the house in the garbage alley with a hammer, and then got in through the hole the size of a dog hole."
"Is this the means of ordinary people?"
Xia De asked suspiciously:
"Can ordinary people smash the walls of buildings with a sledgehammer?"
"Yes, after all, the house itself is not a very strong building."
said Luvia, and Dorothy was interested:
"Although the other party is a relic, it is also a thief. I really hope that I can record the process of it being caught, so that I can have more interesting plots in my book."
As she spoke, she glanced at Xia De. Of course, Dorothy would definitely not encourage Xia De to find trouble with a humanoid relic.
"What good does it do to catch it?"
Xia De asked again curiously, this time neither Luvia nor Dr. Schneider could answer, but Priest Augustus knew more because he had heard the materials in the church:
"There are many wonderful treasures in the hands of this humanoid relic. Yes, if you can catch it, you can get one of its treasures."
Seeing the expressions of interest on the other four people present, Priest Augustus hastily added:
"Don't think that things are very simple. So far, no one has been able to see the real appearance of the thief. It is strong when it meets strong. Although it usually only uses ordinary people's methods to steal, those methods are very subtle. What's more, Church records show that the thief did not exist at any point in time other than the 'theft', and only existed during the scene of the theft. So on the surface, it is not difficult to catch him; but in fact, There is reason to believe that the possibility of catching him is equivalent to trying to find a needle in the sea with a fishing net."
In addition to the anecdote of the theft of humanoid relics in the city, the five members of the group also contacted the college this afternoon to make final preparations for the end-of-year exam next month.
Priest Augustus still lacks some practical credits, and wants to accept a college commission with a high enough score; the doctor wants to try again, and make up the elective course "Ether Mechanics" that he failed in the summer, although he himself has nothing Confidence, but after all, I still want to try my luck.
As for Dorothy and Luvia, Miss Writer was promoted to the fifth ring with the help of Xia De, so she had to take the grade promotion exam at the end of the year, and she still lacked a few basic courses and had not submitted the papers. Although Luvia is a joint student of the Prophet Association and St. Byrence, after being promoted to the Fourth Ring in the Battle of Fort Midhill in the autumn, she is also considering taking the fourth-grade entrance examination in the winter.
She herself is not in a hurry, even if she fails the exam this year, she can continue to take the exam next year.
Shade was the most troublesome of them all. He had formally proposed to St. Byrence that, as a second-year student, he would take the skipping exam at the end of this year and be directly promoted to the fourth grade.
The condition for participating in the skipping exam is that the Ring Warlock level is sufficient, which is no problem for Shade; the exam content is only the written part of the compulsory courses, and the unfinished practical courses and papers of the second and third grades can be completed within the next year.
Xia De has already borrowed enough books from the library to "recite", as long as he completes Miss Daniste's commission, he can go through the back door to get a huge amount of practical credits at once. So for Shad, he had a huge tome to recite before 1853 ended. Fortunately, with the help of "her", Xia De doesn't think he can't pass the exam.
After each of the five asked the library for a list of thaumaturgy, the college also delivered a letter from the student administration to the group.
"Well, this year's off-campus practice activities in the Tobesk division have been officially cancelled, and the students who were supposed to come to us have gone to other divisions."
The off-campus practice for regular St. Byrence students was supposed to take place in the summer. However, this year's event has been postponed to winter because of the divine descent that took place in Tobesk in the summer.
Dr. Schneider also complained about this, but he didn't expect to cancel it directly in winter.
"Why did we cancel the zoning here? Hasn't Tobesk been safe in recent months?"
Priest Augustus asked suspiciously, and Dr. Schneider handed the letter to the priest, and then explained to the others:
"The school believes that the visit of Princess Margaret Anjou will cause something to happen in the city, so for the sake of safety, this year's off-campus practical activities are officially cancelled."
"What does the visit of the princess have to do with the ring warlock?"
Dorothy asked deliberately, but the doctor shook his head:
"The academy didn't make it clear. However, the academy issued an additional high college reward. Augustus, please read it to everyone."
The old priest who was reading the letter coughed and read clearly:
"Academy's reward order.
According to the results of divination by the Academy of Astronomy, high-risk relics related to 'trials', 'tests' and 'guessing' will appear frequently in Delarion-Tobesk and surrounding areas recently. A reward is now being offered to all colleges in the area for correspondence ring warlocks. Once such a relic is encountered, the college will be informed of the specific information immediately. Depending on the detail and value of the information, the college will give practice credits ranging from 1 to 20 points. "
"Just submitting information, can you give so many credits?"
Dorothy sighed softly, and Priest Augustus read on:
"If you come into direct contact with this type of relic and can complete the test given by this type of relic, without asking for any reward, you will get a teardrop-shaped blue crystal as a reward. This crystal is a physical substance, the specific composition is unknown, named Poet A super relic [Wiseman's Pyroxene]. Submit the Wiseman's Pyroxene to the academy, and you can get it at once..."
Priest Augustus opened his mouth in surprise:
"20 practical credits, 2,000 pounds in cash, learning information and ritual materials for any thaumaturgy on the library list, and any sage-level relic in the academy's custody."
The priest himself took a deep breath, Xia De glanced at Luvia, Luvia's eyes moved and her expression remained unchanged, Dr. Schneider stroked his chin as if thinking, Dorothy hugged Xia De's cat Also quite surprising:
"Accommodate a poet-level relic (level 5), and the academy rewards a sage-level relic (level 2)?"
"Yes."
Priest Augustus nodded, and finished reading the last few sentences of the academy's reward order:
"Remark 1: This task is extremely dangerous, and it is not recommended for students below the 4th ring (including) to try to obtain [Smart Pyroxene].
Remark 2: During the duration of the reward, the college library will open the storage information of some humanoid relics free of charge. Please consult the college library for details.
Remark 3: Multiple ring warlock organizations, including the Orthodox Church, will participate in this event, and it is expected that there will be moderately intense urban ring warlock battles. Please ask the local correspondence ring warlock to protect personal privacy and safety. If necessary, please feel free to contact the St. Byrence Student Management Office.

After he finished reading, several other people did not speak for a long time. Even though Xia De and Luvia had known about [Wisdom Pyroxene] half a week ago, they were still shocked by St. Byrence's "generous writing".
"The last time the academy offered such a generous reward..."
Dr. Schneider said in a low voice:
"It was still the Academy's suspicion that the Tobesk region was caught in an eternal time loop, but it was later proven that this does not exist, and time has been flowing."
Luvia quickly exchanged glances with Priest Augustus (Chapter 512), and the priest shook his head slightly while rubbing his pipe.
"It seems that something big has really happened in the Tobesk area."
Doctor Schneider's expression suddenly became serious, he is the oldest ring magician in the group.
"Is there any other situation where the academy can offer such a generous reward?"
Xia De asked again, and the doctor said again:
"Yes, a certain integer itself is a relic. This integer is between 13 and 14. If you find this number, the academy can reward you with sage-level relics and tenured teaching positions after graduation. Once this number is announced, it will directly lead to The collapse of the mathematical system."
This is a bit like solving Goldbach's conjecture in the hometown of a foreigner. The doctor's analogy made Xia De fully understand how strong the academy's desire for [Wiseman Pyroxene] is.
