Chapter 5 The Truth and the Wizarding World
Evening.
After two days of making up classes with Patty Isa, Locke said goodbye to Patty, left the student dormitory, and went to the residence of Mr. Tungus, the dean of the college.
In this college, the dean and professors have independent suites, and Aurelian College will also distribute generous remuneration to them every month.
After all, the tuition fees of this college are so expensive.
But Locke had not taken a few steps in the college corridor when he saw Angel, wearing a linen lining and a white woolen skirt, walking towards him.
At this time, Angel already looked tired, and there were heavy dark circles on his face, as if he had not slept well for several days and nights.
Locke is familiar with this look. Isn't this the look the original owner had when he worked for Mr. Alder, the history professor?
Angel saw Locke and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Professor Alder, call me again to inform you to go work with him."
"Locke, I don't understand why you don't go. Don't you know that as long as we have a good relationship with the professor, we can stay in this college temporarily?"
Angel changed his strategy and said in a coaxing tone: "Locke, Mr. Alder has hinted to me several times that as long as we continue to work for him, we can stay here."
"Locke, don't affect the livelihood of all of us just because of you, okay? Besides, the professor also has good intentions."
Locke knew about this, and letters urging him to pay tuition and course fees have been sent to his dormitory.
That's why he had to hurry up and go to the dean of Tunguska College. After all, he had a history class tomorrow.
Locke glanced at Angel, who was always following him. In order to prevent her from pestering him, he simply pointed at his homework and said, "I am working for Dean Tunguska now."
Angel was stunned for a moment, and then stood there, not following Locke.
She looked in the direction Locke was walking and stamped her feet angrily. "Weird. As long as you go to work, you can hook up with Professor Alder."
"Get the protection of Professor Alder and stay in this college."
"I hope Professor Alder will not be angry because of this matter."
On the other side, Locke accelerated his pace towards Professor Tunguska's residence. After all, he was worried that Professor Alder would stop him midway.
Although the possibility is not high.
But for some reason, Professor Alder suddenly focused on him. In the past few days, he always asked Angel to test him and wanted to invite him to work there again.
Soon, Locke arrived at the residence of Dean Tunguska. He knocked on the door, notified the doorman and waited for ten minutes, and then obtained permission to enter.
Locke followed the doorman into Dean Tunguska's door. Dean Tunguska had the most luxurious suite in the college. The whole suite was in a luxurious Baroque style, just like a palace.
Hall of the corridors are paintings by famous painters from seven countries in Corfu mainland.
At the end of the corridor, in the living room, there is a simple and bright style, a long table, two chairs, and a water glass on the wooden table.
Dean Tunguska already wore gray casual clothes and sat on one of the chairs, "Sit down, Locke Augustine."
"I expected that you would definitely come, but I didn't expect that you only took two days to complete the homework I gave you."
Locke thought for a while and decided to tell the truth honestly. After all, there was no point in lying. "Mr. Dean, I asked Miss Patty to tutor me so that I can complete my homework."
Dean Tunguska chuckled. "I know this."
"Paddy is a member of the secret society that I lead, and she has told me everything. But she just taught you. It is you who learned the knowledge points, and within two days, it was you who completed the homework."
Dean Tunguska picked up the homework book and flipped through it a little. "Well, the accuracy this time is higher than last time."
"Not bad."
"You can go back, Mr. Locke."
Locke was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect things to develop like this.
Do you think you guessed wrong?
Mr. Tunguska said: "What's the matter, Locke, I just gave you an ordinary assignment, and then you finished it and brought it over."
"That's it."
"I will correct the assignment, you can go back."
Locke frowned and his heart beat faster, but he soon calmed down.
If this is the case, then he must have guessed something wrong indeed. Maybe he guessed wrong in a certain link, or the quota for outstanding graduates has nothing to do with the linguistics course.
But there is a history class tomorrow.
It will be difficult to deal with it then.
Locke sighed slightly. He did not forget the etiquette to Dean Tunguska as a student would do to a professor, "Excuse me, Professor Tunguska."
He turned around to leave.
He walked to the door of the reception room, and Dean Tunguska suddenly asked: "But I want to ask, Locke Augustine. You have never taken a class seriously before, how come you were able to complete an assignment in one day, and then completed the assignment I specially assigned in only two and a half days."< br/>
"Also, what makes you suddenly want to do this."
Lock's heart skipped a beat, he turned around and said to Dean Tunguska: "Mr. Dean, you also know my current situation. I heard that there is a special existence in the college - outstanding graduates, so I want to get it."
"Based on my speculation, I believe that the number of outstanding graduates should be related to the language courses."
Dean Tunguska nodded. "I understand. I thought that someone told you some special news, but now it seems that I was wrong."
"You are smarter than I thought."
"You are worthy of someone who can learn an ancient language so quickly."
Dean Tunguska said: "Locke, what's in your mouth The so-called outstanding graduates are indeed related to the language class. "
"The reason why I give you homework and test you is also related to this. The ancient Chinese I teach is very complicated. If you are a person without qualifications, even if you can barely keep up with the progress through hard work, it will be very reluctant, and you can only hover around the passing line."
"A long time ago, some people discovered that people with better qualifications will learn these ancient languages that contain special information faster."
Dean Tunguska said: "Conducting qualification testing requires resources."
"This college's The purpose of the establishment is also to find qualified people on Corfu Island. "
"So we need to set up courses to initially select people who may be qualified, and then test them."
Dean Tunguska glanced at Locke in confusion. "You probably didn't understand my courses at all before, because you didn't have the qualifications. But there are special circumstances, that is, when a person reaches a certain age, his qualifications suddenly awaken."
"That's why Aurelian College is a seven-year college. As long as the age is no more than 22, it is possible and qualified."
Locke was a little confused. "Dean Tunguska, what qualifications do you have, and what does Corfu mean? Isn't it the Corfu continent?"
According to my own understanding, the area of the Corfu continent is about two-thirds of the area of the Eurasian continent in the previous life. This is already the area of the continent.
That's why Locke believes that the Seven Kingdoms are the protagonists of this world.
Aurelian College is the highest college on the continent.
Dean Tunguska crossed his arms, looked at Locke with a scrutinizing gaze, and said: "As I said, the real name of the Corfu continent is Corfu Island, because this entire land is just a small island in the endless mysterious sea."
"The population is only tens of millions, which is insignificant, and there are not many occult resources here."
"Professor Alder and I are not indigenous people on this island."
"Aurelian College is not the highest college, it is just a subordinate college of the real university-Verdantia University, a college of Verdantia University. It's just an institution that selects new students."
Dean Tunguska said: "Since you can complete my assignment in such a short period of time, it means you must have the qualifications."
"I am talking about the qualifications to become a great wizard and pursue the path of truth."
"This is the truth about the quota for outstanding graduates."
"You don't have to go to Mr. Alder from now on. Locke."
Locke raised his eyebrows. He now realized that he seemed to have underestimated the world before.
Unexpectedly, the Seven Kingdoms and the Corfu Continent are just an insignificant corner of this world.
The battles between knights, nobles and kings are as ridiculous as child's play in the eyes of these wizards, so the superior wizards don't even bother to get involved, and just set up the Aurelian Academy here to select people with magical qualifications.
But in the blink of an eye, Locke felt a little excited in his heart.
This may be good.
If you can enter the world of wizards and magic, then the Horadric Cube will have more room to play.
You can have higher achievements.
Locke almost immediately changed his goal, from staying at the Aurelian College to leaving the Aurelian College and going to what Dean Tunguska said was the real world outside Corfu.
However, first, it seems that a wizard qualification test needs to be carried out.
Dean Tunguska was a little surprised when he saw Locke, but he quickly accepted it. He was a little surprised at Locke's acceptance speed, but he did not continue to explain, but said: "Locke, I need a drop of your blood."
"Then, you have to drink the [Elemental Emerald Potion] mixed with your blood, and you and I will see your specific talents."
“This potion is very expensive, but at least in the wizarding world fifty years ago, it was still one of the relatively good detection methods.”
Locke asked: "Mr. Dean, fifty years ago? Didn't Aurelian College have little contact with the wizarding world?"
Dean Tunguska glanced at Locke and said: "The endless mysterious sea is very dangerous. The sea outside the coastal waters of Corfu is full of dangers. Even formal wizards cannot cross it, let alone The situation is for those of us. "
"The last time I had contact with the wizarding world was fifty years ago. That was when I first came to the mainland of Corfu. Since then, I have never been able to go back..."
A trace of sadness flashed on Dean Tungus's face. "Of course this is also my own choice."
"Aurelian College is already a very safe and comfortable place."
"The wizarding world is more cruel than any place you have ever seen. Wizard apprentices who cannot survive there can only go to a corner to live out their lives and make their final contribution to the wizard organization they belong to."
