Chapter 17 Major Classification of Higher Education Institutions in the Steam Age
After agreeing on a meeting time, Dr. Schneider gave Shade a file bag, which contained information about the college. He left the room in a hurry, looking like he really had something to do.
After the doctor left, Shade did not open the document bag, but leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling. Just like what he said, he couldn't make up his mind immediately. He summarized what happened today and recalled every moment in his memory.
One detail:
"The worst case scenario is that everything is a scam and the doctor is actually a cultist who wants to drag me into sacrifice. But this is unlikely..."
He thought in his mind and patted his head:
"What do you think?"
【can believe.】
"But can I trust you? Like, can you tell me who you really are?"
【I am you.】
"You are definitely not the other self in the Ring Warlock's heart, I'm sure of this."
Shade looked at the ceiling pattern composed of color blocks and geometric patterns with a melancholy expression, and then looked at the rather nice crystal chandelier. He guessed in his mind the income of Mr. Bill Schneider, and then realized how huge it would be.
of a gold pound.
"No matter what, I still have too little information, or there are no information channels at all, so I can only listen to other people's opinions."
In Shade's own mind, doctors can be trusted. All the information so far this morning is not contradictory or illogical.
And what the doctor said makes sense. It is not a simple matter to meet forces that are willing to guide ordinary people to contact the supernatural and mysterious. Shade has already begun to understand this era. The extraordinary and mysterious are not obvious, and the fire of human civilization allows the steam industry to
Flourishing. Mystery and transcendence are only a small part of the shadow of civilization.
Thinking from this perspective, Shade would like to thank the doctor for revealing the valuable knowledge without asking for any money.
Shade knew that he was attracted to St. Byrons Comprehensive College, and he would not deny it. The three major thaumaturgy academies and the five orthodox churches were the only formal ways to train magicians, and he would only consider these methods.
.
The academy and the church have their own pros and cons, and now it was the academy that contacted him first, and Shade was also doubting his identity as a time traveler. Compared with the ring warlocks who have looser management, the church is more likely to be able to see through his identity, especially when
Doctors have clearly said that God really exists.
We don’t know the power of the gods yet, but we don’t rule out that the other party is “omniscient”.
"St. Byrons Comprehensive College can be accepted, but we still need to see the information that the so-called [relic] can provide first."
He made up his mind, knowing that such a choice might not be the best, but Shade would not regret it, it was his own decision.
"Then look at this."
He was thinking about opening the document bag. But the door was suddenly opened at this time. Because he opened it without knocking, Xia De thought that the doctor had come back early. But the person who opened the door was a young woman, and
I was also surprised that the person sitting here was Sha De.
"Sorry, I thought Dr. Schneider..."
She looks to be about 20 years old. She is the most beautiful girl Shade has seen since he came to this world. She has long blond hair, green eyes, and is truly "blonde". She looks very quiet, like a student or
She has a profession like a teacher. She is wearing a very ordinary dark blue skirt, and her only accessory is a butterfly-shaped hair ornament on her hair.
"Feel sorry."
The blond lady said, she was surprised and immediately apologized. She wanted to close the door again, but suddenly stopped and looked at Shade with her green eyes, which made Shade feel a little embarrassed.
"This light is...are you a gifted person who is awakening?"
Now Shade understood the reason why the doctor noticed him at a glance yesterday at the door of the newspaper office. He thought that the vision of a ring warlock was different from that of ordinary people.
"Really a gifted person?"
Although she was surprised, the blond lady still remained calm enough. She looked at Shade with her beautiful eyes and curved her mouth:
"Bill actually found a gifted person? When did he get so lucky? Did he use a strange [relic] to advance his luck?"
"I......"
Shade wanted to say something, but the other party shook his head at him:
"Sorry, in our group, only fifth-year doctors are eligible to enroll, so I can't reveal any information to you before you officially enroll. This is part of the contract with the college, and we must abide by the regulations."
He took a step back, holding the door handle with his hand, and a kind smile appeared on his face:
"But the conditions of St. Byrons Comprehensive College are really good. You are very lucky to meet a doctor within 72 hours. You can think about it carefully. Oh, and also, if you really join St. Byrons,
Remember, don’t choose a chemistry major.”
After saying that, he nodded gently to say goodbye and closed the door from the outside.
"Dr. Bill Schneider, one of the four people in the correspondence group of cyclists...did he really just happen to bump into me, or was he acting on me?"
Sometimes Shade also thinks that he is suspicious, but when he comes to a completely unfamiliar world, he thinks that he can live better this way.
"But, a school that teaches mysticism actually has a chemistry major?"
I rotated the winding of the document bag and saw the more detailed information about the college. At the top was the promotional page that the doctor took out this morning, and at the back were the actual admissions documents of the college.
Shade flipped through a thick pile of information and realized it. There are 10 professional colleges under St. Byrons Comprehensive College. Different colleges have different learning methods and professional knowledge——
School of Chemistry, specializing in herbal medicine and potion making;
Mechanical College, specializing in psychic abilities and cultivating alchemical abilities;
The Academy of Astronomy, a training ground for soothsayers and stargazers;
School of Ancient Literature, School of Spiritual Rune Interpretation and Analysis and Ancient Language Inheritance;
The School of Mathematics, of Ritual and Spells, of Thaumaturgy;
The School of Folklore studies the history before the Sixth Age, collects ancient literature and modern literature, and is proficient in the elements of "enlightenment";
The History School trains investigators, time-travelers, and is proficient in the [blasphemy] element;
The School of Library Management is a training school for secret keepers and caretakers. Containing [Relics] is the main responsibility of the school. It is also the strongest major of St. Byrons Comprehensive College. It is proficient in the element of [Whispers];
The seminary teaches theology, studies the history of the old gods, and is proficient in the elements of [miracles]. Cooperation with the Orthodox Church is usually also the responsibility of the seminary;
The School of Political Science and Economics is not open to correspondence courses, so there is no information.
The reason why the professional colleges under St. Byrons are called with common subject names, instead of simply "House College" and "Thumbology College", is to enable correspondence-taught ring magicians to learn in the world of ordinary people.
, speak reasonably about your study life and reduce the possibility of the college being exposed to ordinary people.
It was only after passing these materials that Xia De realized that the ring warlock system explained by the doctor actually missed some important content.
For example, once the Ring Warlock is fully awakened, he will generate spiritual runes belonging to the soul based on the characteristics of the soul, also known as "core runes".
The core runes are engraved in the central hollow of the destiny wheel, not on the life ring, which is related to the advancement of the ring warlock. The content of the core runes is also the basis for the academy to recommend joining the professional academy.
For example, Doctor Schneider, Shade guessed that his core runes are most likely related to "soul", so the doctor should belong to the Mechanical College.
"So, before I become a ring wizard, I can't decide what I will learn. However, I can actually travel through time?"
He shook his head, because of these admissions documents, he once again felt the culture and system of this steam age.
He looked through it carefully and carefully wrote down the important information. Then he put the documents he had read back into the bag and stood up to put them on the desk in the room.
This reception room only entertains important guests. There are a lot of papers scattered on the desk. The doctor probably didn't have time to clean it up, and he is not afraid of Shade peeking, because most of them are about the business of the clinic, and a small number of them are not used at all.
Common language of the Northern Kingdoms.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Shade was able to understand those strange words. He indeed had the special ability to understand words.
