The information that Lizzie gathers surprises Curt.

"As an apprentice of the theory department, he showed excellent spell casting to suddenly transfer to the elemental system, and the table at that time was different from now......" The voice he conveyed to Liqi unconsciously raised, "What's the matter with this information, can you please explain it in detail?"

The apprentices in the Theory Department have little talent for spell-casting, and in contrast to their excellent theoretical abilities, this is what most people know about the Theory Department of Catrice College. They may be transferred to a side branch school such as the alchemy department because of their excellent theoretical research, but it is unheard of to suddenly switch to the elemental system.

The threshold for mastering spells has been lowered a lot, and thanks to the advancement of technology, the popularity of spells has never been greater. Most people who used to have difficulty casting spells are now able to work with simple spells with the help of these devices.

Although the mass-produced magic machines provided by the academy are not satisfactory in terms of performance, it is an indisputable fact that with the help of these magic machines that are disliked by Liqi and dismissed as "an era behind", the academy still cultivates many outstanding talents in the field of magic.

In other words, apprentices who are also characterized as "incapable of casting spells" in this context have not even had the opportunity to step into the path of a mage in the past. The apprentices of the Theory Department are a group of beneficiaries of technological advancement, and their ability to master spells is only a few levels higher than that of ordinary people.

Danfoss is an outlier among these apprentices.

When he entered the school, he did not get a good evaluation in the test of spell casting skills. Whether it's elemental, summoning, or something else...... He failed all the practical tests, and in the end, it was the results in the written test of basic knowledge that saved his life and allowed him to be assigned to the theory department.

According to Mabel, when he was still studying in the theory department, his daily performance was not very good. Liqi Tong Guò Soul Link sent a table of points, which recorded Danvers's achievements when he was still in the theory department, "I didn't show any talent for magic in my daily studies, but I did quite well in various theories." ”

Such apprentices are rare in the theory department, and it is difficult for them to go further in the actual casting of spells, so they have to seek a way out by specializing in theory, and strive to stand out among many theoretical researchers. Danfoss's cousin at that time was like the most ordinary theoretical apprentice everywhere, who was good at theory and not good at practical skills.

But among such a large group of ordinary apprentices who only knew the theory of magic, Danforth seemed to be a little maverick. The reputation of the ancient spells that he was obsessed with for "placing too much emphasis on natural talent" had already spread to the ears of everyone in the theory department at that time.

At that time, many people ridiculed him for his low eyesight, and that he didn't learn to walk, like he wanted to run. Lizzie seemed to be mimicking those who were laughing at Danvers, and her tone was strange, "It's just that Danvers didn't pay attention to them, and buried himself in the stacks of books in the Silver Tower, looking for information on ancient spells." ”

"Wait. ”

Curt interrupted Liqi's speech: "I can understand that there is information on ancient spells in the Silver Tower, but these materials will definitely not be easily accessible to ordinary apprentices. And it's illegal to study ancient spells in private, isn't there anyone who cares about him putting it on the table with such fanfare?"

Liqi didn't seem to be very satisfied with Curt's opinion, and snorted twice and said, "At that time, it was naturally impossible for him to come into contact with in-depth ancient spells, and in the area open to ordinary apprentices in the Silver Yao Tower, there were only tutorial books for the disciplines offered in the academy and books and periodicals introducing some general knowledge that could be read. ”

"As for his research...... The Empire's laws only prohibit unregulated research into unidentified spells and the unauthorized use of lethal spells. What level of ancient spells do you think a juvenile imp can do, as long as he doesn't really make a big problem, no matter how much fanfare he makes, no one will pay attention to him. ”

"But he did make a big mistake, as you can see. Curt retorted, "And a 'no talented' theoretical apprentice jumped out of his peers and became an 'talented' elemental apprentice." There's no way no one has questioned his experience, right?"

"How could it be that there were many people who doubted his sudden talent—but they questioned not the means, but the authenticity of the abilities. Lizzie laughed, her voice almost out of tune, "You must know that submitting an application for transfer is subject to many tests, and these tests must be carried out under the supervision of representatives of all parties. So the Danfoss seniors easily passed the various tests and dispelled their doubts. ”

The ability to cast spells is not necessarily innate, and there are many successful mages in history who have awakened this talent through continuous efforts. Therefore, in the wizard circle, suspicion of the source of other people's talents is usually regarded as not being able to eat grapes, saying that grapes are sour, which is despised.

"And in my experience, I still have doubts about his sudden 'talent'. However, this so-called consensus has no binding power on Lizzie, "The ancient spells recorded in the notebook in his hand are too deep for him, and he seems too generous. ”

If someone had deliberately taught Danvers knowledge, it was indeed possible that he would have been exposed to "real" ancient spells. Among the few unknown secret methods, there may not be spells that improve one's ability to cast spells, and it is possible that he used this method to obtain "talent".

"There are also many noticeable changes in his daily speech and behavior, and some of the apprentices who used to be in the same class with him still say, 'He is like a different person,' and his temperament has changed a lot. ”

Intrigued by Danvers's change in personality more than his sudden talent, Curt fell silent and motioned for Lizzie to continue.

"For example, he talks about class theory and the slogan that 'ancient magic is a symbol of a sorcerer's honor'. People who used to have a good relationship with him said that it all started to emerge around the time he transferred to the elemental system. Before that, although he seemed dull, he was not contemptuous of people of low origin. ”

Lizzie had plenty of time, and she was unhurried to talk about the results of her investigation.

"I don't think it's strange that a lot of people change their attitudes towards other people just because they get rich overnight. Maybe this Danfoss is just one of them. ”

Curt replied casually that he didn't think the slightest change would mean anything.

By this time he had stepped into the third floor of the Research Building, which had not been affected by the fire, except for some blackened smoke at the staircase. But that's all, all the qiē here was emptied at the time of evacuation, and nothing was left here.

There are only three rooms on this floor, all of which are large and large rooms. It is conceivable that when this place was first put into operation, it should have been used as a large proving ground or conference room. The stained tiles on the walls are barely recognizable, and a large part of them are scattered under the corners.

"It's just a different department, and I'm just a sorcerer apprentice, so it's a 'broad'. Lizzie laughed, "Besides, his family background is enough to despise most ordinary people, and that class theory should have been put forward a long time ago, and it would not have been put forward at that time." ”

"That's what I said......"

Curt replied casually, and in order not to miss any clues, he also tried to pick up all the scattered wreckage and take a closer look. It's just that this act is redundant - he didn't get any out of the building materials, they were just the most ordinary bricks and rubble.

Also, his real yàn group was established and personally commanded by him alone. "When he was in the theory department, he always looked like he was in isolation. I never showed the slightest leadership talent, nor was I interested in communicating with others. ”

She continued, "And as soon as he entered the Elemental Department, he managed to pull some of his apprentices into his real group. And the apprentices had never shown any interest in ancient sorcery before, so for some reason they joined Danfoss's group and obeyed him. ”

The human mind is quite complex, and at the same time, it does not change lightly. After all, the real world is different from fictional stories, and the timid and cowardly people will not become brave in an instant, and the people who are averse to sociability will not become the leaders of the organization just by changing the environment.

Human growth cannot be achieved overnight, and the accumulation of experience takes time. In this process, different people need different amounts of time. Some people have lived for more than 10 years, and their words and deeds have gradually matured, while some people have lived for hundreds of years, but their thinking is still at the stage of immaturity.

This may be the phenomenon of the so-called "personality".

In a very short period of time, a person's behavior has changed dramatically, and it has become as if he had changed into a different person. Either he had a great change that had to be changed, or his mind was influenced by an outside world, and this "influence" changed his behavior.

It's just that these reasons don't seem to apply to Danfoss. It should be said that the impact of what happened during that time, at least in the eyes of the public, was too insignificant. It is only a transfer from the theoretical system to the element system, which does not change the nature of the whole person.

In other words, there may be more reasons for Danfoss' change than everyone thinks. The intelligence that Lizzie has investigated does show that Danfoss is suspicious, but the key clues are not enough.

Curt stood on the top floor of the research building and let out a long sigh, and after some searching, he didn't find anything worth mentioning. Beate was right, if there was something really wrong with this research building, the security officers who had been patrolling in shifts for decades should have found it a long time ago, and it wouldn't have taken so long for Curt to show up.

"Mr. Leinster!"

He was about to turn around and go back the way he came, when Byatt's shout suddenly came from downstairs: "A search party has been attacked, and Second Officer Grostide has asked all parts to assemble urgently!"
