Chapter 12 Admissions
Dr. Schneider took a sip of black tea while he was talking, and then some Accidentally looked inside the teacup:

"This black tea is very good."

"Church and Academy?"

Shade didn't care about the former detective's taste in black tea , and what kind of person the former detective was, digesting the information.

"Yes, churches can also cultivate ring warlock. In fact, the formal channels for ring warlock training, at least in my opinion, are the five Orthodox Churches and the three Mystic Art Academy, other The Evil God Cult Society, secret societies, ancient organizations, and messy groups are either informal or full of hidden dangers. So, you are lucky to meet me during the awakening of innate talent. It is really lucky for both of us. "

"Then the church."

Compared with the Academy, who didn't know the origin, Shade was actually more interested in the church that could cooperate with the official kingdom of the kingdom. The doctor could also see this idea, he smiled and shook his head to show his understanding, and explained:

"Academy and the Orthodox Church are not hostile, and they even cooperate occasionally. It's just that the church doesn't like Academy. students, whether correspondence or full-time students, they think we are a dangerous machine that attracts trouble."

Raising his eyebrows slightly, seeing that Shade didn't ask, he continued:
"So , those of us correspondence Academy factions ring warlock, it's not illegal to exist in itself, but it doesn't usually make our identity and existence known to the church. I know, you might be interested in the church, so answer my question—"

The corner of the doctor's mouth twitched into a smile:

"Joining the church requires a completely innocent background. Even if you have an innocent criminal record, you still need a complete life trajectory to determine whether you are a dangerous person. Can you provide it?"

Bill Schneider himself is a psychiatrist, and at this moment, he has some meaning to consult patients.

“You investigated me?”

Shade blurted out, but then regretted saying it:
“It’s not normal to not investigate.”

thought to myself.

"It's just to investigate some basic situations. After all, when the Academy recruits students, it also needs to determine the identity of the other party. I can recommend dangerous elements to the Academy. But because we are only correspondence, do you understand the meaning of correspondence? The requirements are not as strict as those of the church.”

Dr. Schneider smiled and looked towards the young detective sitting opposite:
“The awakening of the ring warlock, the probability affects people’s minds, so you will change from the original Shade, become the current Shade. After investigating your identity, I understand what the fear and dazedness of the world in your eyes when I saw you yesterday. For you, the one who awakened the innate talent A moment, is the real 'wake up'?"

He probably misunderstood Shade, who has a problem with IQ, and became the reason why Shade is now, but Shade is also happy for him to think so, so he pretended to be Mind-shattering nodded:
"If I take this explanation, I will explain it to the church."

"Of course, but I prefer you to understand the Academy first, to understand the so-called What exactly is a 'ring warlock'. Isn't it better to make a decision this way? I'm sure you can understand, at least I'm not a bad person." Dr. Schneider said, Shade nodded again, the doctor said yes reason. He replied solemnly:
"So good, thank you, Dr. Schneider, I'd like to know about these things first."

The doctor took a pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at it:
" We don’t have much time, the duration of innate talent awakening is about 72 hours, but it fluctuates with individual differences. In order to prevent missing time.”

“If you are not guided during the awakening period, becoming a ring warlock will How?"

Shade sorry interrupted the doctor's words:
"I'm a little curious about this."

The doctor shook his head indifferently:
"Curiosity is a good thing. , indicating that you do not reject ring warlock and mysticism.

You don't understand almost anything, but are actually more suitable for guidance. People are afraid of the supernatural, afraid of mysterious, you do not show any rejection, but just Curious, I'm very happy about it. As for your question. I don't have specific data in hand, I can only tell you that if the ring warlock innate talent is not guided during the awakening period, there is a high probability of going crazy, and a small probability of brain exploding. Yes, Have you ever seen a picture of a hammer breaking a watermelon? Pink and white flying around."

The doctor asked politely.

"No need to describe, this metaphor is too vivid, I can almost see the picture."

Shade said immediately, feeling a little sick to his stomach without having breakfast.

"Well, of course, there is a smaller probability that some peculiar things will happen, which can be discussed later. In short, let you first understand the ring warlock. The simple explanation is not vivid, please follow I'll go."

The doctor stood up.

“Where? To the St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy?”

Shade held up the Academy admissions document in Yang's hand.

"Of course not. We correspondence students are only eligible after the fifth grade to go to the Academy, which is hidden in the old continent's Arctic ice cap. The address of the Academy is secret. The sub-channel entrance of the material world is related to alien populations, and until then we have to go on with our own lives and learn within our own living limits. Remember, Mr. Hamilton, we are in adult education, and we are correspondence students at the Academy."

In other words, even if Shade joins the Academy, he doesn't need to go to a secret location like "Hogwarts" to read. There are pros and cons to this, but at least some freedom while gaining power.

"Now, I'm going to take you to find the man who killed Sparrow Hamilton."

The doctor gestures.

“What?”

Shade stood up, which was something he didn't expect.

"Yes, I only found out about this when I investigated your identity. Since there are extraordinary and mysterious existences around you, why don't we take this opportunity to help you solve this problem? You Probably will also worry about whether the person who killed the original Hamilton detective will implicate you."

It must be admitted that even though the original detective promised not to implicate Shade, Shade was still worried.

"This is not a very troublesome thing, and the other party seems to have not deliberately hidden traces of his own actions because Sparrow Hamilton is just an ordinary person. Come with me now, I think before lunch , we can fix this. By the way, do you have a pistol?"

The doctor asked again.

“No.”

Shade shook his head.

"Then please don't stand in front of me, I promise as long as you are behind me, there will be no danger today. After all, the opposite is not a ring warlock."

S Palo Hamilton said before he died.

“Ordinary person can’t tell the difference, it’s easy to think of all those who can use supernatural powers as ring warlock. But for the ring warlock who is officially in office, it’s easy to tell. After all, that person doesn’t have [ Wheel of Fortune], without accumulating spirits, I can't feel the four elements of [Miracle] [Enlightenment] [Blasphemy] [Whisper], it's just a lucky occasion to get [Relic]"

The doctor paused for a while , changed his mouth and said:
"No, it's the unlucky guy."

"You seem to have mentioned a lot of terms just now."

Shade said, in fact, the four elements are related to [relic] He had heard it, but there was no need to show it at this time.

"It doesn't matter, we can chat while walking."

The profession of detective is very dangerous. In the investigation of the doctor, the former detective Sparrow Hamilton was In a detective activity encountered an accident.

Presumably to prevent Shade's investigation, Sparrow Hamilton deleted all records of that commission before his death, but the Doctor's intelligence network restored the incident in its entirety.

“speaking of which, you investigated the whole thing in one night?”

Shade did not forget to ask, but the doctor vaguely did not answer, but said to wait for this When it's over, tell him again.

"It's here."

The two set off from the square in a carriage (paying for the doctor) and, after a nearly two-hour journey, crossed the city, on the river beside the Auxerre. The embankment came down the carriage.

As the northern capital of Tobesque, the Water Element is developed, and inland shipping supports the prosperous steam industry and commercial trade here.

A number of rivers run through the city of Tobesque, with the Osier being the one that flows north of the city. It is the wet season of summer, and the river is turbulent.

This neighborhood is 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 Auxerre River to find new development opportunities for the city of Tobesque, and In this way, the industrial area in the north of the kingdom is connected, and it also serves as a supplement to the kingdom's steam locomotive railway network.

But at least for now, there's still a lot of wasteland around here. After getting off the car, I looked all around, in the hazy fog, only the buildings of Tobesque could be seen in the distance.

"Let's walk from here to avoid disturbing him, and I noticed that your boots are perfect for the long walk. Mr. Hamilton, you probably haven't had your breakfast yet, once that's settled, I'll treat you to dinner."

The doctor said, carrying his briefcase, and walked into the grass beside the road with Shade holding a notebook. After a while, the two saw a path.
