Chapter 30: The Golden Tulip

"As far as I know, the 'scholars' and 'readers' of Sequence 9 have similar abilities, but there are still differences. ”

Without waiting for Chris to ask, Oliver replied:

"Compared to 'scholars', 'readers' are gradually more capable of this aspect, that is, they can flexibly use this ability in high sequences. Don't underestimate the power of knowledge, omniscient is omnipotent. ”

Omniscient is omnipotent...... Chris pondered this sentence over and over again in his mind, always feeling that it was important, and he had heard it there.

"The memory and comprehension of 'scholars' are only much stronger than those of ordinary people, and there are still some gaps compared to 'readers', and most importantly, in the subsequent series of improvements, the growth of the two is not large. ”

"Does that mean that the 'reader' is stronger than the 'scholar'?"

"Not really. Oliver shook his head, looked at Chris's brown pupils with deep blue eyes, and said:

"There is no superiority or disadvantage to all extraordinary avenues, the key is the user. Although the 'reader' is much more powerful than the 'scholar' in memory and comprehension, the 'scholar' is not as gifted in mechanics and chemistry as the former. Do you know what the complete sequence path is in the hands of the Church of the Gods of Machines and Intelligence?"

Chris pondered, judging by the name, that the deity clearly held authority over machinery and intelligence, and replied:

"It should ...... It is a sequence of 'scholars' and 'readers'. ”

"That's right. In the Church of the Gods of Machines and Wisdom in the Republic of Ireland, there is an armed action group called the 'Disciplinary Ones', an institution similar to a police department, but dealing with cases related to extraordinary powers, and most of them are 'scholars' and 'readers'. ”

"Mostly?"

"Yes, every church has at least one complete sequence pathway. In addition to the complete sequence of 'scholars' and 'readers', the Church of the Church of Machines and Wisdom also has other sequences that are partially mutilated. ”

Looking into Chris's eyes, Oliver calmly said something that made Chris's eyes widen:

"And I'm the 'reader' of the sequential approach. ”

Reader......

Chris wasn't surprised by the fact that Professor Oliver was extraordinary, but shocked that he just said it directly.

Although the treatment of the "wild" extraordinary in Ireland is not as strict as in other countries, it is certainly still necessary to keep it secret.

This is also why the three of them knew that Professor Oliver was a senior extraordinary, but they never took the initiative to ask about it, but they didn't expect Professor Oliver to tell him directly today, and also said the name of their sequence.

Although Chris has only half a foot in the circle, it doesn't take a second thought to know that this must be something that every "wild" extraordinary person tries to hide. If the enemy happens to know the ability of this sequence, it will not be long before the opponent washes his neck and gives it to the opponent.

Oliver ignored Chris's little ninety-nine, and continued:

"From my performance of your course this semester, I can roughly determine that you are a 'scholar' path. ”

Looking at Chris's doubts, Oliver replied:

"In the first year of steam and mechanical engineering, although they are all basic theories, they still require some complex operations. You can catch up with the progress of the previous half semester in a month, and memory and comprehension alone are not enough. This also requires the innate ability of the 'scholar' in this area. ”

"The unique natural ability of 'scholars' ......," Chris muttered, no wonder in those experimental classes, such as the thermosteam experiment, the concoction of nitroglycerin, etc. He had never failed an experiment, much to the admiration of his teachers. He also thought that this was also because of his good memory, but he didn't expect it......

"Yes, when you get to the sequence 7 'Mechanic Expert' of the 'Scholar' path, you will know what an enviable ability this is, hehe. ”

As he spoke, Oliver let out a laugh that was completely inconsistent with his temperament, much to Chris's confusion, the mechanic expert...... Listening to the name, it should be related to machine building, is there any strange ability?

Oliver retracted the wrinkles that had come out of his smile at the corners of his eyes, and continued:

"I heard that a member of the 'Disciplinary Person' disappeared half a year ago. The extraordinary property that you have accidentally eaten may have something to do with him. ”

Because of his familiarity with the captain of the "Punisher", Oliver had heard Wardhouse mention it, but he didn't know that the disappeared member of the "Punisher" was already the "archaeologist" of Sequence 8.

Oliver didn't say one thing at all, he knew that there was a young lecturer named Billy next to him, who was also a "wild" Sequence 9 "scholar", and he also disappeared for no reason some time ago, but in the privacy of others, Oliver didn't mention it like Chris.

And Chris muttered to himself: Well, no wonder the gentleman had to flee to church when he was dying, because he was a member of the 'Discipliner'.

In fact, Chris only guessed half right, and the one he saw was the "wild" extraordinary who had been entrusted with a desperate letter by the 'Punisher'.

At this time, Chris did not know that if he told Oliver the whole thing about that night now, he might be able to avoid a disaster and tragedy a few years later, which is also the pain and guilt of Chris's life.

With an adult mind, he is still too cautious in this world.

"Little one, it's time for you to go to class, if you want to know more, you can come by this time of the day. ”

"Okay, Professor Oliver. ”

"Next time, you can just call me teacher. As he spoke, Oliver winked at Chris.

Chris's heart moved, and he knew what that sentence meant.

Indeed, what he lacks most now is a guide to the mysterious world, and in these two days of conversation, he has deeply felt the depth of Professor Oliver's knowledge, and most importantly, he does not feel the slightest malice of the other party.

Since he was a child, he instinctively sensed the kindness and malice of others.

Judging from Professor Oliver's tone when talking about the extraordinary, it should not be the extraordinaire of the low-level sequence, and it may even be the extraordinaire of the intermediate sequence.

Chris thought as he walked out of the library and into the classroom with his bag in his hand.

At this time, Feierlan Street, near the Church of the God of Machines and Wisdom, is a prime location in the southern district because of its proximity to the church, where there are many shops and people.

In a luxuriously furnished three-story building, it reads:

"Golden Tulip: Lawyer-Detective Agency. ”

The office has three floors, and the hall on the first floor is covered with marble, surrounded by rows of mahogany sofas, one of which sits a tall man in his thirties, with brown hair and blue eyes, wearing a black tweed coat and leather boots.

It's just that his white-gloved hands today don't have strangely shaped rings, and they are none other than the chief captain of the five action teams of the "Punisher" in Federenburg, Waldhouse Hawke.

Although the decoration of this lawyer-detective office is luxurious, because the labor cost of accepting the assignment is not high, there are not many people who come to ask for help.

There are young wives who come to hire private investigators to investigate the men in the family, there are various men who hire lawyers to fight divorce lawsuits, and there are also people who post assignments here to get items at a high price.

On the contrary, there are many detectives and lawyers on the second floor, because they do not have the funds to open their own firms, so they sign an agreement with the boss of Golden Tulip in the form of a contract, and only need to pay a certain venue fee.

On the third floor, there is Golden Tulip's own high-end office, and I heard that the success rate and speed of completing the entrusted task are not comparable to those retail investors on the second floor. As a result, many wealthy and aristocratic people frequented the area.

And this luxuriously decorated and well-popped comprehensive office is the base camp of the "punishers" in Federenburg.

Not only have their own "scholars" and "readers", but also some "wild" low-order "lawyers", "mathematicians", "doctors", "investigators" and so on.

They help the church with some extraordinary cases, and they can also earn extra money by accepting commissions from ordinary people on the third floor. Not only that, but in such an intensive task, it is also possible to firmly grasp the movements of the people of the city and detect violations and crimes.
