Chapter 19 Female Writers and Tuition
[You have contacted 'Whisper'. ]

Just one look at the exquisite snuff bottle, it was deeply attracted to Shade.

Shade has seen more sophisticated things in his world, but at this moment he feels like he must possess this. Fortunately, the woman's voice brought his thoughts back to the normal track, and Dr. Schneider just smiled at Shade's lost self-control:
"Even a poet-level [relic] will Ordinary person has an impact, so the church and the Academy will try to contain and control the [relic] as much as possible, but you really recover quickly after I open it, you will fall into a dream. The dream will last 7 minutes and 23 seconds , you'll learn about the Academy's past and present in your dreams, which will help you believe what I'm saying."

"Such precise time?"

Shade asked Then, under the guidance of the doctor, leaned slightly on the back of the sofa, making a posture conducive to taking a nap.

"Almost every ring warlock that joins St. Byrons' correspondence has to use this [relic] to confirm the information he has received. It has been used countless times and never made a mistake."

The doctor said with a smile.

This "never" sentence pattern made Shade a little worried. But he didn't tell the feeling in his heart, so he signaled that the doctor could start.

"Okay, please prepare-"

The doctor got up, covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel to prevent himself from falling asleep, and at the same time made a retreat. Posture:
"Start."

The lid of the pot was lifted, colorful smoke burst out, and Shade immediately lost consciousness.

Shade had a dream. In the dream, his soul left his body and ascended into the distant sky, watching the bustling steam city in the gray fog, watching the steam factory spew thick smoke in the distance. Smoke.
Then it flew to the north, over the city, over the mountains, over the grassland, over the forest. Finally saw the snow-capped peaks and, behind the highest peak, the great ice caps in the extreme north.

Perhaps for an instant, maybe for hours or even days, the sky in the extreme north dims. In that dark night, under the colorful aurora, behind the glacier mountain range with rays of light, a huge group of buildings appeared.

This is a strange dream that has never been seen before. Shade wakes up and only remembers walking in the huge Academy, walking in the ancient castle, and looking up at the stars at the top of the minaret. Traveling through the classroom with chairs, looking for herbal formulas in the basement, and checking the [Relic] containment list in the library Also the meeting place of mystic. Behind the glacier in the extreme north, it stands from the distant past to the present.

His vision was still blurry when he opened his eyes, and the doctor's appearance became clear on the sofa opposite. He was scrambling to close the lid of the snuff bottle and put the poet-level [relic] back. into the box.

"Well, now that you know that Academy really exists?"

Putting away the snuff bottle, the doctor asked Shade with a smile. Shade sighed a little melancholy, and actually missed that strange dream.

"It's true, what the doctor said is true."

Even if it was just a dream, this particular dream was enough for Shade to make the right judgment.

"The only side effect of this poetic [relic] is that it is slightly addictive."

Doctor Schneider's voice is soft, with a strange power in it , seems to want to use this to completely pull Shade back from the dream world:
"Forget that dream, Shade Hamilton. But sooner or later, you will ride a steam locomotive with us as a ring warlock. Head to the far north of the city, hike through the ice caps under the aurora, snuggle up for long nights in blizzards, help climb the tallest glacier together, and then, enter there, the St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, ring the warlocks. I My dream is to get a tenured teaching post in St. Byrons after being promoted to the tenth ring in Academy. Shade, if you like it there, then join."

That was both real and unreal. Dream, it took Shade some time to calm down. When the doctor formally asked his opinion again, this time, Shade nodded without any hesitation:
"Yes, I hope to join the Academy and become a ring warlock of correspondence."

On Dr. Schneider's face With a heartfelt smile:

"Then congratulations, Shade, allow me to call you that, you are about to become the fifth ring warlock in our group, please wait, just now Dorothy Lu Ms. Yisha has been here. She will join me to host the admission ceremony for you. I can introduce you to the ceremony and let her know that I am not always so unlucky. Admission to the ceremony requires at least two people in the group to be present to prevent new admissions The ring warlock has been deceived."

Even though the doctor had been enthusiastic since he visited Six St. Teresa Square this morning, his enthusiasm continued to grow:
"Oh, Lu Yi Sha is a fourth-grade correspondence four-ring warlock, and her job is a novelist. I know that you have just woken up from your blindness and ignorance. You probably haven't read her works, but she still has a small reputation, "Dream of a Snail" and The two short stories "A Midsummer Night's Wish" won the Kingdom's Literary Award three years ago, and even received the King Your Majesty's summons together with 35 other winners."

"Actually You don't need to mention the total number of winners that year."

The door was pushed open, and the blonde lady I just saw stood outside the door. She was still in that dress, but looked a little annoyed:

"Doctor, is it necessary to say all the unimportant information every time you introduce your friend to someone?"

It looks like the atmosphere in the doctor's four-person correspondence ring warlock group is good, at least everyone is friends, and Shade is happy about that. But Shade also guessed that maybe the blond writer lady had just been listening to the conversation outside the door.

"Sure enough, everyone is unsuspecting."

He thought silently, ready to stand up to say hello.

The doctor avoided answering Goldilocks' questioning and motioned Miss Luisa to sit down with a smile:

"Detective Hamilton has agreed to my invitation, and now our team finally has Five ring warlocks."

"Doctor, do you really have no strange relic of using overdraft luck?"

She was skeptical, but walked in and extended Shade the hand :
"Dorothy Luyesha, a novelist and a part-time reporter."

Miss Luyesha seemed to be very capable, so Shade stood up and shook it lightly:
"Shade Hamilton, you can be considered a detective."

"This profession is quite good."

After speaking, the two sat down again. The doctor coughed and gestured to himself. To talk about things:
"Shade, please allow me to call you that, the last thing before the official admission, I need to tell you about the tuition fee."

Shade was taken aback for a moment. , once again dispelled by the sad reality of his joy, he blinked:
"Yes. Tuition."

He realized that when the doctor introduced the church and the Academy, he did not mention the important shortcomings of the Academy After all, the Orthodox Church will definitely not ask for money to recruit members.

"The school's fees are based on grades, you wait."

Dr. Schneider took out a document from the shelf behind the desk, while Goldilocks did not speak, but spared. Looking at the two with interest.

"This is the charging standard. Because we are correspondence and don't talk directly to the Academy, the Academy has made these documents to prevent the group Chief-In-Charge from charging arbitrarily. I heard that hundreds of years ago this kind of Things are common."
