Chapter Twenty-Four: Oliver Hill
Many graduates of this program were hired by the kingdoms of Gulbott, Artis, and the Brussack empire.
And the biggest reason why Chris chose this major is also this:
High salary! High salary! High salary!
As a person who has lived at the bottom of this world for ten years, the first thing he wants to do if he wants to explore the unknown truth is to get rid of poverty......
In this way, with expectations and longing for the future, Chris sat in the second class of the first year of the steam and mechanical engineering major.
Most of the students in the class are between 15 and 18 years old, and 11-year-old Chris is in the middle, which is quite eye-catching.
But there is never a shortage of geniuses in this world, eleven or twelve years old, there are a few in each class, otherwise Chris used to use fake library cards to fool the test.
The card only has the name and class, where to grade the books, and there is no other information about the student.
I heard that at Atlanta University, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, there is an enrollment student who is only 9 years old.
Most of those who can enter the university are from middle and high-level families, after all, they need to study in public schools for a few years and have excellent grades, and it is not enough to rely on hard work, but also a certain amount of financial support.
Children from poor families begin to help their families earn a little money at a very young age, so they have no time to study and study.
Of course, there are still a few poor people in each class, so Chris is not bullied or excluded.
Because the middle-class people have received a good education since childhood, they know how to take care of their own decency, and they will not do things that fall into place. The children of the aristocracy are more self-proclaimed noble, and most of them maintain an alienated or hypocritical face towards the poor.
The courses in the first semester include "Fundamentals of Steam", "Fundamentals of Thermodynamics", "Fundamentals of Organic Chemistry" and "Fundamentals of Inorganic Chemistry".
Because Chris graduated early from public school, the class here has been teaching for five months.
With a lot of memorability and a strong understanding, it took Chris a month to keep up with the course.
The reason why the University of Federenburg sent the admission letter so easily was also because of Chris's talent, so he asked Chris to wait another seven months for the next academic year.
Because he had to make up his mind that it would no longer be noticeable, Chris had no intention of skipping a grade, just reading books step by step, and staying in the library when he had nothing to do. Of course, now that he has his own library card, he no longer uses the Xibei goods he used to have.
Today, Chris flipped through many biology-related books, but there were still no clues about the contents of those three sticky notes, until he noticed the closed office of the curator on the second floor.
Because in the past two years, I have often come to the library for white prostitution, oh no, to read books, every time I meet the elegant curator who is about 60 years old in the library, I will take the initiative to say hello, although there is not much language communication, but there is also a little familiarity.
Chris felt that he should not have a big problem when he went to ask some questions, after all, he is now a serious student, and his waist and confidence are a little harder.
Well, Chris admits that he used to be cowardly.
There aren't many students in the library now, because most of them are in class, only Chris skipped class and came to the library because he was bored.
The atmosphere at Fedlenburg University is relaxed, and students spend their own time studying.
So Chris looked at the decent clothes he had picked out last week and pedaled up the stairs to the second floor.
Knock! Knock!
Chris knocked lightly on the door of the curator's office and noticed the plaque next to the door:
Professor Emeritus at the University of Federenburg, Director of the University Library of Federenburg, Oliver Hill.
"Please come in. A gentle voice came from inside, and Chris recognized the voice, the same Mr. Curator whom he had met often in the past two years.
Chris came in and greeted politely, "Good afternoon, Dear Professor Oliver." ”
Mr. Rig in front of him was still sixty years old, with some gray blonde hair and deep blue eyes, and he could vaguely see the handsome outline of his youth.
Wearing an ordinary white shirt with a stand-up collar and a black embroidered cotton horse clip, warm black wool trousers and leather shoes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face, he looked kind.
With Oliver's smiling nod, Chris continued:
"Excuse me, my name is Chris Simon, the student has a few questions, I would like to ask the sir. ”
"I have an impression of you, and you often come here to read. Don't be inhibited, I like the little ones who love to learn. ”
Oliver smiled and motioned for Chris to sit down in the chair in front of him, and continued:
"Is it a question of history? I remember you were interested in that Arnold the Great. ”
"Not really. Chris replied hastily, not expecting that the librarian had paid attention to the books he had borrowed, and then thought of the book "Arnold the Great and the 108 Mistresses", which is now used as an erotic novel by his bedside.
Chris's face suddenly reddened.
Looking at the pen and paper on the table, and with Oliver's consent, Chris picked up the quill and wrote down three nouns on the white paper in Irish dialect:
Adult one-horned Pegasus, Latin American gray cat, colorful spider.
Chris noticed that after seeing these terms, the gentle curator in front of him, his eyes inadvertently lit up, and there seemed to be starlight flashing in his eyes, which was fleeting.
"Excuse me, does the professor know that these creatures really exist? I have read a lot of biology books, and I have also asked the seniors of the biology major in the school, but I have not gotten any relevant content. ”
Oliver lifted the gold frame of his glasses, looked up at Chris, and smiled:
"Oh, before I answer your question, can I ask, where did you see the names of these three creatures?"
Sure enough, the knowledgeable curator knew something.
Chris muttered in his heart, telling the lie that had been drafted a long time ago:
"The student saw it by chance on a miscellaneous book outside the school, and he didn't remember the title of the book anymore, but he wrote down these three terms because he thought it was a little strange. ”
When Chris went upstairs, he had already thought about it, and only asked for a noun in each of the three sticky notes.
Although he didn't know if the content on the note was true, Chris still felt that it was better not to tell others about the full content easily, so that it was at least safer.
Hehe, the novel lies.
After listening to the lame lies of the little guy opposite, Oliver wanted to laugh a little, little guy, ordinary books don't have the name of a transcendent creature.
However, Oliver did not debunk the other party's lies, because he knew that in fact, in this matter, he could not be too careful.
Looking at the little guy in front of him who asked for advice, Oliver seemed to have returned to sixty years ago, when he was simply ignorant. I have experienced so many things, such as love, family affection, and betrayal......
Although Oliver looks only 60 years old, he is 78 years old this year.
Scold...... The appearance and body of the 60-year-old are just the effects of the potion.
Oliver hesitated, not knowing whether to tell the correct answer to the boy in front of him.
Once started, the road can't stop, and there will only be endless danger and fear ahead!
However, at the age of 78, he has knowledge that can no longer be described as profound, and he still wants to accept a disciple in ten thousand years to inherit the knowledge he has learned in this life. Although he used to have a favorite big disciple of his own.
And most of this knowledge is related to the occult, so the premise of the disciple is to become extraordinary.
The frequent encounters in the past two years, and the polite greetings from the other party every time, had already brought his attention to this civilian who was clearly not from the school.
The shabby dress, the fake library card, the locked carriage outside the school......
However, as the director of this library, he did not debunk this little trick, and he did not look down on the poor who loved learning.
On the contrary, because of the rarity, he was somewhat curious.
After reading the little guy's borrowing list a few times, Oliver really wanted to laugh, it turned out that he was still the little fan brother of the great Arnold the Great.
