A week has passed in a flash, and the new students have gradually become accustomed to the daily life of taking the bus to and from class.

In Imperial Capital College, everyone has two days off per week, but it is not fixed on Saturdays and Sundays, but is adjusted at any time according to the course schedule of students. Therefore, there will be different branches of the college teaching different courses every day, and students must report on time according to the elective majors they have filled in before, otherwise they will be deducted attendance points for absenteeism.

Although the summoning department is a compulsory major, there are only four half-day classes per week, so this morning, most of the freshmen have gathered in the branch of the soul research department of the history department. The courses here are mainly about the systematic study of Horcruxes and soul crystals, and in order to facilitate teaching, the two most expensive museums in the entire Zex Empire, the Imperial Horcrux Exhibition Hall and the Imperial Soul Hedron Exhibition Hall, are all set up in the Soul Research Branch. In Fan Qian's words, taking a class in the Soul Study Department is like swimming in a sea of gold coins!

"Students, you can look at the things in this Imperial Horcrux Exhibition Hall casually, but don't touch them, let alone steal them or keep them private. "The teachers of all subjects in the Imperial Capital Academy are different every day, and today's one is also big-hearted, saying that he asked the students not to touch the Horcruxes around them, but he always turned his back to everyone, and while leading the way, he said casually: "There were once two students who had evil thoughts about the Horcruxes here, and invaded the Horcrux Museum in the middle of the night behind our backs, in a vain attempt to steal these precious exhibits. As a result, before they could get out of here, the mentor of the security department had already led a team to seize the stolen goods and send them directly to the imperial capital prison, and the next day they were hanged for stealing national treasures without trial. ”

Speaking of this, the instructor turned around abruptly, and with a lightning-sharp gaze, he quickly swept over the few students at the end of the team who were so frightened by the "hanging" that they retracted their hands, and then said with a smile: "Of course, I know that you are all smart people, and you will never be confused by this little profit." The students who are qualified to study in the Imperial Capital College are already known as the dragons and phoenixes among the people and the leaders of their peers, and they will naturally have a bright future after graduation. When the time comes, whatever Horcruxes you want, you will be able to buy them in the open. Although there are many types of Horcruxes in the exhibition hall, the number is only the tip of the iceberg on the market, and it is not cost-effective to delay the future for them. ”

Just by this combination of grace and power, it is not difficult to see this mentor's attainment in manipulating people. When all the classmates gathered around him, he clapped his hands and said, "If you want to know about Horcruxes, you must first know how Horcrucates came from." According to legend, Horcruxes are props for the captive phantom beasts of the gods and demons, and after the last war between gods and demons six hundred years ago, these props fell into the world with the demise of the gods and demons. So please remember that all the Horcruxes in the world are found and excavated by us all over the world. At least for now, humans don't have the technology to make Horcruxes. ”

After talking about the origin of the Horcruxes, the mentor moved to the glass display case on the right-hand side, patted the display case and said, "There are many types of Horcruxes, and the grades are also uneven. The highest-level Horcrux ever unearthed in the Samene Continent is the Royal Inheritance of the First Empire, that is, the Irons Empire, the Black Prince's Sacred Crown. Legend has it that the soul power contained in that crown was only a lot more than that of a silver dragon summoner. Such a precious Horcrux will naturally not be placed on display with us, so the crown of pure gold and diamonds in the display case is just a fake imitation of the Black Prince's Holy Crown. ”

As soon as they heard that the "Black Prince Holy Crown" in front of them was a fake, the students immediately booed with disdain. Unexpectedly, the teacher didn't laugh at this, and shook his head and said, "I think back then, when I first learned that this crown was a fake, my reaction was similar to yours. However, as you learn in the future, you will gradually understand the value of Horcruxes, especially when you think of the Black Prince's Crown, you can immediately think of the Dragon Summoner, and you should be able to feel the weight of the real Black Prince's Crown from this fake. ”

As he spoke, the tutor raised his hand and pointed to the row of Horcruxes behind the "Black Prince's Holy Crown", and then led the students forward to observe while explaining unhurriedly: "In the one or two hundred years since the Horcruxes were first discovered, humans have not been able to classify them in a meaningful system. It wasn't until the last two hundred years that we finally roughly divided Horcruxes into five classes. ”

The royal level, which contains the soul power of the dragon summoner, represents the Horcrux: the Black Prince Sacred Crown of the Erns Empire.

Jewelry-level, containing soul power at the level of a spirit summoner, representing Horcruxes: Li Shasha's Blood Diamond Silver Hairpin (given by Su Ze), Lu Jifeng's White Jade Wrench (sold).

Costume level, containing the soul power of the demon summoner, representing the horcruxes: Fan Qian's bronze buttons, Qi You's big red cloak, and Huang Tong's slanted rose red handkerchief. (All three are in the collection of the Green family.) ）

Weapon-level, containing the soul power of the beast summoner, representing Horcruxes: Half-Moon Scimitar, Black Silk Whip, and Unsheathed Sabre. (All three pieces belong to the Green family, but they were not taken away by Su Ze and Li Shasha.) ）

Tool level, containing the soul power of the upper, middle, and lower summoner levels, represents the Horcrux: Li Jing's bronze spoon.

After leading the students to observe the representatives of the fifth-level Horcruxes in turn, the tutor continued to explain: "Horcruxes are just like our summoners, even if they are Horcruxes of the same level, the soul power contained in them may be very different. ”

"There are too few Horcruxes at the royal level, so I won't give examples here. If you use jewelry-level Horcruxes as an example, then it is highly likely that the jewelry worn on the head, such as hairpins and earrings, is a gold-medal soul-summoner-level Horcrux, and the jewelry worn on the hand, such as rings and bracelets, is a silver-medal soul-summoner-level Horcrux. Taking costume-level Horcruxes as an example, accessories such as cufflinks, brooches, and belts are gold-medal demon-summoner-level horcruxes, while pure clothes, pants, and shoes are silver-medal demon-summoner-level horcruxes. ”

"Of course, there are similar rough ways to distinguish between other levels of Horcruxes, which we will explain in detail in a later lesson. After learning this, you don't have to worry about spending 'gold' money to buy 'silver' goods. After speaking, the instructor stopped, clapped his hands again to attract the attention of the students, and then said, "The first one is mainly to talk about some concepts, and mention everyone's interest in the soul research department, which is about the end of this morning's class." The rest of the time, you can enjoy these gifts from the gods and demons in the exhibition hall, and if you encounter any problems, you can always come to me. ”

As soon as the team was disbanded, the students were divided into two groups of men and women. Most of the boys are keen on weapons, and most of the girls are keen on jewelry, but Su Ze returned to the display case of the "Black Prince's Holy Crown", and stood for more than ten minutes, and frowned, as if thinking about something.

The mentor was very curious about Su Ze's behavior, so he stepped forward and asked, "Quasi-Dragoon Legion, I don't know where this fake crown caught your attention?"

Su Ze pondered for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "Mentor, you just said that the Horcrux is a prop of the gods and demons, is this a speculation, or is it a fact that can be confirmed?"

The tutor replied: "The origin of the Horcrux has been the consensus of all scholars in the Seven Kingdoms, but the specific determination process has to go to the archaeology department to seek answers." ”

Su Ze nodded, and asked again: "I don't know how different this crown is from the real Black Prince's Holy Crown? Is the coat of arms on this largest ruby added by the craftsman himself, or is it originally on the real thing?"

The mentor replied, "This fake of the Black Prince's Sacred Crown was not forged by our craftsmen, but was carefully imitated by the craftsmen of the Irons Empire, and then given to the other six countries as a gift. I haven't seen the real thing, but I don't think there's any need for the Irons Empire to create a pattern out of nothing. ”

Hearing such an answer, Su Ze directly turned his hand and summoned the soul spar in the soul house, and compared the black coat of arms in the white amber with the coat of arms on the "Black Prince's Holy Crown", and said in an extremely heavy tone: "Although it is not the same pattern, the shape and strokes are very similar, so it is not wrong to say that it is the same type of pattern." ”

"I've always been curious, why are the soul crystals only produced in the center of the ruins, and where did these strange stones come from?But if these two patterns are really the same thing, then can it be said that the soul crystals are also props of the gods and demons? So can it be further deduced that the ruins are created by the gods and demons?" Speaking of this, Su Zecai turned his head and stared into the master's eyes, "I'm wondering, the gods and demons, have they really disappeared?"
