Chapter Fifty-Six: Hogg House
"For example, the secret fruit is like the medicine you take when you are sick, you eat it is just the beginning of your cure, if you really want to cure your body's disease, what you need is for your body to digest the medicine you eat, eh...... These words were not spoken by me, but recorded in the notes of Mr. 'Shell', one of the great sages of mankind, who invented the 'deductive method'. ”
Digestion? Deduction? Sean's heart was shocked, but a sentence from the ancient Rome travelogue resurfaced in his mind: "The secret fruit is not used to 'digest', but to be 'cultivated' by pleasure", and the so-called "cultivation method" summarized by ancient Rome.
He couldn't help but ask, "Digestion?" How? Also, What does deductive mean? ”
To be honest, he is actually very entangled now, logically speaking, he is actually more inclined to the explanation that Ms. Jessica said that the secret fruit is used for digestion, first, Ms. Jessica has no reason to deceive him; The second is that whether it is various novels and movies in the previous life, or from the examples given by this human sage, it is logical, self-consistent and reasonable to digest the secret fruit to obtain extraordinary power.
On the contrary, the so-called cultivation method recorded in the travelogues of ancient Rome is so absurd no matter how you look at it.
The secret fruit is not to be 'digested', but to be 'cultivated' by pleasure?
This...... Wasn't ancient Rome really joking?
At this time, Jessica Diana approached Sean slightly and whispered: "How to digest and the specific content of the 'deduction', I can't tell you because of the oath, this needs to be understood by yourself, and you don't try to ask other colleagues within the Light, they either haven't understood it like you, or they can't tell you because of the oath." ”
Sean was moved in his heart, don't ask the colleagues inside the Holy Light? That means you can ask other transcendents who aren't members of the Light?
However, after thinking about it, he understood that the possibility of this operation was not high. Judging by the word "oath" in the mouth of Ms. Jessica, the method of digestion, as well as the so-called "deductive method", seems to be a secret of the church, and even of the individual churches.
At the very least, anyone who knows must swear not to pass it on, so it can be assumed that the transcendents of other churches must have kept it a similar secret, and the possibility of him getting this secret from the outside world is very low, except for ......
Sean's eyes lit up, and he silently said to himself in his heart: "Except for those secret organizations that are classified as evil and illegal by the Orthodox Church, such as ...... Where am I in a stranger's house? ”
Jessica Diana saw Sean's thoughtful expression and knew that the other party should understand her "hardship", so she snapped her fingers and removed the surrounding spiritual enchantment, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Sheriff Mike is still waiting for us at school." ”
With that, she left Sean with a sexy back.
Sean rolled his eyes, and was about to follow, when he suddenly felt a cold gaze sweeping across his back, and he hurriedly looked back, but saw pedestrians and carriages in twos and threes, and saw nothing.
......
Sean paused for a long time, but he didn't notice anything unusual.
After a while, he shook his head and hurried to catch up with Jessica Diana, who was already far away.
The two walked and chatted all the way, and soon came to the gate of Hogg House.
Different from the Gothic Revival castle style common to the nobles of the kingdom, the architectural style of Hoag College is closer to the aesthetics of the new wealthy merchants and bourgeoisie of the kingdom, and the architecture is full of Renaissance, Romanesque, Tudor and other styles, which has an alternative mixed beauty.
Sean naturally didn't understand the difference between the architectural styles of the college, and only exclaimed in amazement and said words such as "wow, oh,", once again revealing the essence of his scumbag.
Jessica Diana pursed her lips and snickered like a little girl, but didn't say anything, just led Sean towards Sheriff Mike, who was smoking a cigarette and chatting with the security guard.
Before they could get to the scene, the observant Sheriff Mike noticed the two of them coming, and he flicked his fingers to extinguish the cigarette and greeted them with a smile.
"Inspector Jessica, it's been a long time, you're more beautiful and younger than before."
Mike Jason said that he took off his hat and saluted, but he saw Sean with strange eyes on the side, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Sean, why are you here too?" ”
Before Sean could speak, Jessica Diana naturally spoke: "Mike, you know, he is an important witness in the Rex case, and Inspector Oscar suspects that Smith's disappearance case is related to Rex's case, so I asked him to take him to see, maybe there will be any new discoveries." ”
"Well, that's right." Mike Jason nodded in agreement, then patted Sean on the shoulder and said, "Sean, no matter what, you must not look for a short-term sight, you are not even afraid of death, what can you not do?" ”
Sheriff, don't you know, sometimes it's more difficult to live than to die in this world...... Sean thought of what he saw in the lower block, and exhaled silently, with a teachable and well-behaved expression on his face: "Sheriff Mike, thank you." ”
He still has a lot of respect for the warm-hearted sheriff in front of him, after all, the other party not only saved him from the vicious overseer in the first place, but also paid for his own medical expenses, and even now cares about him, it is really difficult for him not to be grateful.
Then, after the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Sergeant Mike led him and Ms. Jessica into Hoag House and to the school's library, which was also the famous Bruce Dying Library in the Kingdom of Augustine.
The Bruce Delling Library is a typical "Barot-esque" style of library, with both religious and hedonistic features, the architectural emphasis on the synthesis of sculpture and painting, and the artistic style is full of an impressive release of passion, such as in some of the top frescoes, the human figure becomes insignificant, like some patterns.
Sheriff Mike didn't have this appreciation of art, and after explaining the situation to the library staff, he said goodbye to the two and left.
Sean was different, and after noticing that Sheriff Mike had left, he finally couldn't help but look at the inscription on the stone tablet outside the library and said, "Bruce Dylin? ”
Jessica Diana smiled slightly: "That's right, Bruce Darling Hogg, he is not only one of the sages of mankind who discovered and summarized the 'Theory of Spirituality', but also the founder and first headmaster of Hogg House. ”
Sean gasped and said, "No wonder Barot City, although it is only a small border city, it is not famous in the entire kingdom, and now it seems that all this is because it is located here the best school in the entire kingdom - Hogg Academy." ”
