Chapter 462 Professor Crystal and the Gods
On Thursday morning, after checking the progress of the renovation, Shade Take Mia to Dr. Schneider's clinic. I thought the doctor wouldn't have much work early in the morning, but didn't expect him to actually start consultations at 8:00 in the morning.

Shade waited two hours to see the yawning doctor, in a clean white shirt, sitting on a chair behind his desk with a pen and writing his medical records, saw Shade walk in with a greeting voice and blue eyes The look in his eyes made him look tired.

There is a strange smell of burning spices in the room, and a sphere held by a wooden frame stands on the desk.

"Doctor, do you work so hard?"

Compared to him, Shade is simply synonymous with laziness.

"Oh, I'm not sleepy. I used hypnosis for treatment just now. Did you smell the air? This is the spice for sleep aid. We saw it last time at the Plaza de la Antares. Didn't he also give you a bottle when you were Alan?"

The doctor gave a brief explanation, greeted Shade to sit down, and then explained in a low voice:
"I like hypnosis very much. Treatment."

"Why?"

Shade curiously asked, eyeing the apparently frequently flipped psychology books on the table. This is not the textbook of St. Byrons, but the doctor's own professional book.

"Because my diagnosis and treatment are billed by time."

Dr. Schneider smiled and clapped the alarm clock beside him, the delicate brass mechanism was making a pleasant clicking sound :
"1 shilling 3 pence for ten minutes, 7 shillings 6 pence for an hour. In two and a half hours in the morning, I made close to a pound."

Shade immediately showed more admiration With the expression on his face, a doctor earns more money from a diagnosis and treatment than an ordinary worker in a month. Just sitting in an office and living a decent life is what Shade wants.

"Speaking of which, how did you have time to come to me? Is there something wrong?"

The doctor snapped the cap of the pen and asked.

"Yes, I'm learning new Mystic Art recently, but I'm short of spellcasting materials. I want to entrust you to help me acquire it."

"What's missing?"

"Crystal of the mind."

"en?"

The doctor really knew this thing, frowned thought about it:
"The alchemy item made from the mind and spirit, involving The content of advanced psychological alchemy is not easy to deal with. Shade, how much do you need?"

"Two dozen orchids (about 3.5 grams) of crystals, one per dozen orchids. Casting requires two small crystals. ."

This strange crystal is not very dense, a dozen orchids are the size of a grain of rice.

The doctor thought about it, pondered then said:
"This is not easy to handle, the Academy has this kind of material, but the price is very high, about 500 pounds, which is comparable to ordinary clerical-level relics. So if you are not in a hurry, I do not recommend you to buy from Academy. But if you want to buy from the black market, you may not be able to meet sellers by the end of the year. However, I can make some, advanced psychological alchemy courses I Study."

"Have trouble?"

Shade asked.

"Yes, but the trouble is, you have to find the raw material. That is, the object that produces the crystallisation of the mind."

"What characteristics are needed?"

Shade takes out his notebook and prepares to record.

The doctor extends the hand, citing that Shade noticed a stain of blue ink on his index finger:
"The spirit is strong enough to extract the crystals of the soul. The imagination is rich enough for us to explore him The dream. The mind and spirit are unstable, such a person can only produce crystals for the time being. If I can find the target, I have to do further inspection."

"That is to say, we are looking for a Spirit strength Crazy artist, I'll try my luck at the Delarion Art Academy?"

Shade concluded.

"It's not that simple."

The doctor waved his hand:
"You look for it, even if you do meet it, you won't recognize it. Well, I'll visit this weekend. The mental sanatorium around Tobesque, if there is any news, I will let you know. If there is no news, I will investigate in two weeks. If I haven't found it, you can go to the Academy to buy it. However, this business can't be given to you. Free."

"No problem, how much do you need doctor?"

Shade doesn't take advantage of friends.

"The material cost of ceremony and alchemy is not much, just 30 pounds. But the labor cost. Shade, the material cost of 30 pounds is up to you, apart from this, I heard Augustus first say, you There is a way of smuggling in Coldwater Harbor. It just so happens that I need some ceremony materials for the new continent recently to help my sixth ring to advance to ceremony. I will give you a list, and you can help me get these things. I will pay for this batch of materials, You get them to pay for the labor cost of my mind crystals."

In other words, Shade only needs to pay 30 pounds.

"No problem, doctor."

"That's fine."

The blue-eyed doctor nodded and asked curiously:

"However, what kind of Mystic Art are you trying to learn?"

"Spirit Burst, I've prepared the learning materials. Now I only need the materials for spellcasting."

"Spirit Burst Ah, it's the most primordial psychic attack ability, and it's not bad, at least it can give you one more way to fight the enemy."

Shade realized that this ability, but he was in [Moonlight Slash] ] and [Moonlight Greatsword], the third pure active Attack Type ability.

"In this case, I have this notebook here, you can take it back and look at it. The above are tips for using psychic abilities, which may help you."

The doctor got up Take out a book from the bookshelf and hand it to Shade. The group borrows notes from each other at no cost.

Shade had no more adventures for the next two days. The rest of Thursday was spent with Professor Manning. Although Shade was reluctant to take Mia to visit the professor, she couldn't leave Mia at the home under construction.

Professor still remembers the archaeological experience in Hekills Town several decades ago. After getting those photos of Mrs. Ilar from Shade, he was very excited to pull Shade and tell the story until noon, even Also invited Shade to lunch at home.

Professor Manning has weird ideas about cats, but his archaeology skills are absolutely top-notch, and his storytelling skills are top-notch. Shade is attracted to those archaeological stories.

In the afternoon, when I heard that Shade had nothing to do today, Professor Manning took Shade to the archaeology department of the Delarion King Academy where he was serving.

Although it's still summer, it's hard to see people wearing short sleeves in a serious place like the Academy. And while women have had the right to education several decades ago, it's rare to see female students in the Academy.

Walking on the stone pavement of the Academy, mottled light and shadow cast from the gaps of the leaves above. Watching the youngsters holding books and the glasses-wearing scholars walking and chatting, Shade had a smile on his face, he liked the atmosphere very much.

It's a pity that he doesn't have time to be a serious student in this era. If this world doesn't have real mysticism, it's just the world of an ordinary person, he would be very willing to spend the rest of his life like Professor Manning. spent in school.

Professor Manning has his own office and a group of students waiting to graduate. He was very interested to show Shade the cultural relics collected in the archaeological excavation in Hekills Town more than ten years ago, and then asked his students to go to the warehouse to move more piles up. Artifacts about the remains of East Herkils Town.

Although the entire group of professors did not discover the underground temple at that time, it has been confirmed that the ruins were built by the believers of the old god [Earth Shaking Worm].

Talking about his professional content, and seeing Shade's interest, Professor Manning talked incessantly. He sat behind the desk by the checkered window, leaning his chair and talking to Shade, who was sitting on the short side of the desk. There are some flower pots on the windowsill behind the professor, and the students of the professor can only stand behind Shade and listen to their teacher tell stories.

Professor's lecture lasted for an hour, and Shade admired that the students behind him were able to persevere. You know, even the orange cat lying on his lap turned around at least 23 times because of boredom during this period.

Shade's attention isn't just on cats, either. He also observed the flowerpot behind Professor Manning, the draft papers waiting to be corrected on the professor's desk, and the bookcase on the east wall, which was almost overflowing behind the glass door.

Professor Manning's office is not dirty, but it's a mess. All kinds of documents and cultural relics are placed in any corners that can be seen. The cardboard boxes stacked on the bookcases are very likely to fall down soon. Feel. But it's not too chaotic here. Looking carefully, Shade feels that this simple and chaotic environment, with some old-time decoration style, is in line with the office atmosphere of busy scholars.

"Maybe I should also redecorate the second floor to make myself look more professional."

Shade thought to himself.

Professor Manning eloquently told Shade about the relationship between the old god [Earth Shaking Worm] and the old god [earth python], and using the mythological system described by the Orthodox Church, will have [Earth] The righteous god of the priesthood [Old Man with a Lantern], that is, [Sun and Earth God], is also linked.

"Actually, there are quite a few gods with land-related priesthoods, but the focus of each god has nothing common with each other."

The professor said with a teacup :

"The Orthodox Church is very secretive about this, but there is a saying that the power of all the gods related to the earth comes from an older Earth God."

"Professor!"

Shade quickly stopped Professor Manning from continuing to speak. Although the Orthodox Church seems to be a positive character, the Inquisition is not a legendary thing, it is real.

Professor Manning smiled and shook the head:

"When it comes to things I'm interested in, I can't keep my mouth shut. Shade, you just don't listen to anything. Here."

"Of course."

"How about you?"

Professor changed his tone, and asked the person behind Shade in a very serious tone. Youngsters, the latter responded uniformly:

"I didn't hear anything."

It seems that this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened.

"But why don't you think that it was the righteous god [Old Man with the Lamp] who gave his authority to other old gods related to the [earth] and the [sun]? The righteous god is stronger than the old god, so this This kind of speculation is also possible.”

Miss Avrora on the train mentioned the relationship between the Ancient God and the Old God, so Shade asked again curiously and proposed other conjectures, Professor Manning said. Smile:
"If the righteous gods gave power to the old gods, then the church of the righteous gods will definitely mention it to show the greatness of its belief in gods. But I can tell you for sure, Shade, the church of the five gods. There is no book in the book that mentions, yes, no book mentions that the power of the old gods comes from the right gods. Even, when the church books mention the old gods, they are placed in the On the same level as the righteous gods."

Shade understood nodded, and did not continue to ask, and if he continued to ask questions, he would encounter sensitive topics again.

However, if the power of the old gods does not come from themselves, but from other places, then it is very likely that all the old gods related to the earth, even the right god [Old Man with a Lantern] about The power of the earth comes from the Ancient God who is related to the earth.

It has been confirmed that the Ancient God was the original god.

"When [Box of Darkness] got out of control, a voice seemed to say that the old god was a thief"

Shade thought to himself.

It seems that talking about a lower sect and history with the ordinary person can also be of great help to him. Shade thought that he could communicate with Professor Manning more in the future. Of course, Mia had better stay away from him.

Professor Manning's students were mostly youngsters about the same age as Shade, and when the professor introduced them to Shade, they immediately knew that this was the rumored "Hamilton of Rejed" .

Therefore, although Shade can only be regarded as "illiterate" compared with them, he still has the respect of a lot of people. Before Shade left the Academy that evening, he exchanged business cards with the professor's students.

Most of them have business cards. People who can study archaeology at the Higher Academy in this era are generally not from ordinary families. Shade recently wanted to further expand his detective business, and wanted more clients to come by himself instead of going out to meet things, so it was necessary to know more people.

The only thing that annoyed him the most was that the spread of Rejed's Hamilton's reputation was almost synchronized with the spread of Shade's relationship with Miss Galina.

Although none of the professor's students mentioned Miss Garena, when Shade chatted with the professor, he mentioned that he recently got a large sum of money from the Duchess and wanted to get an honorary degree. , there was still a choked cough from behind.

[Then what worries you is that you have a bad reputation, or that you have done nothing but have a bad reputation? ]

"Is there a difference?"

[Outlander, of course you understand the difference. ]

Shade didn't answer the question, and took the cat, who had slept all afternoon and was now looking forward to supper, along the stone pavement of the Delarion King Academy, to the street.

The setting sun is looming in the sky, so it looks like dusk has just come. The carriage drove from his left to his right, and groups of students passed behind him. Passing by was a man with a briefcase in a hurry, looking like he was going to an appointment. And two bare-armed workers crouched under the roadside gas lamps, as if they were overhauling a faulty underground gas pipeline.

In this rapidly changing picture, it seems that only Shade is strolling the streets, not in a hurry for the time at all.

Putting both of his hands in his pockets, he kicked the stones beside his feet to the side in a bored manner, then he touched the cat, thinking about the solution to dinner, and slowly walked towards the sunset.

Until Darkness gets news, he has time to manage his life in this steam wave age.
