Strange's courses are not very difficult, after all, in Noah's eyes, these things are really just the basics of the basics.
But for Strange himself, it is not simple at all. This is completely destroying the worldview he has established for more than thirty years!
Although Strange was prepared, when he really started to learn, he found that it was like a brand new world!
The entire history he knew had been completely changed, and what lay before his eyes was a complete world full of unknowns and fantasy.
All this made Strange feel incredible, and at the same time, he was also studying these categories seriously.
To be honest, the complexity of these things is really exaggerated.
Whether it's the history of the magical world that spans thousands of years or even longer, or the various weird magical knowledge, Strange feels that every day is so busy.
Although there were a lot of these things, Strange learned them very quickly. I have to say that Strange's talent was really good, and it was amazing in this aspect in my memory.
He only needs to read many things carefully once, because this kid has basically learned them after reading them once.
Among so many courses, Strange also has his favorite subjects, which are Potions and Herbalism.
To be honest, at first this guy thought this thing was the same as Eastern witchcraft. In his imagination, he mixed all kinds of animal carcasses or internal organs, and then put them into the crucible with some weird plants.
Then add water and some powder that cannot be named at all, boil it for a while and then use it to deceive people.
But when his thoughts were known to Noah, he was taken to a place similar to school by Noah.
There, Strange also met someone who looked very familiar - Strange remembered that his name was Neville Longbottom.
This man Strange has seen in the movie, just like the Guardian Noah Finnell, they are both alumni and classmates.
"Noah, why are you here?" Neville was still a little surprised by the arrival of his old classmate: "You haven't been back to Hogwarts for a long time."
"Come back and have a look, and by the way, bring someone here who doesn't know how high the sky is." Noah spread his hands: "You are a professor of herbal medicine now, right? Do me a favor and let him study with the little guys."
"This guy?" Neville looked at this strangely dressed guy, and then nodded: "No problem, he is your apprentice?"
"That's right." Noah sighed: "He's just a layman who doesn't know anything and has no awe. Teach this guy well and let him know the true role of herbalism. As for potions...
Forget it, I don't want to go to Professor Snape."
After a simple exchange, some of Strange's courses were doomed. Although this made Strange very depressed, he had no other choice.
For a long time to come, Strange will have to come here to learn the so-called herbal knowledge and potion knowledge - one is taught, and the other can only read books.
However, after a period of study, Strange found that he seemed to underestimate this knowledge too much.
Although this knowledge made Strange feel that it was a bit nonsense, when he followed a group of students - all elementary school students and did some experiments together, Strange found that there was really a lot of knowledge to learn!
For example, some herbal medicines, after some special processing, can achieve a more powerful effect than anesthetics - complete local paralysis!
If this thing was paired with another kind of magic - being able to stay awake no matter how badly injured, Strange felt that he could have guided others to heal their own hands!
Of course, this is only a small part, there are more incredible things for Strange to learn!
In addition to learning about potions and herbs, Strange also needs to learn various knowledge about the magical world, including knowledge about monsters.
The knowledge about monsters is similar to the knowledge about herbs and potions, because they are both incredibly huge!
Herbal medicine and potions require learners to master the special medicinal properties of thousands of plants, and they also need to know which parts are combined with what magic or what effect the potion can achieve.
It can be said that this is already an incredibly huge project, and there is no difference between the two pharmaceutical disciplines in terms of monsters.
A complete system of monsterology not only tells you what these monsters are good at, what they are not good at, and how to deal with them.
You also need to know what can be used for what on their bodies, and how to kill them to get the most valuable things.
The most typical monster is the vampire. Their strength is that they are not afraid of physical attacks and can move freely in the dark.
But they are extremely afraid of the sun - except for the advanced ones, everyone else has this virtue.
Moreover, vampires are afraid of elements of light, sacred elements, and magic, so magicians have a natural restraint on them, and they still suppress those types to the death.
As for the things that can be obtained from vampires, they are actually more and not less.
Because vampires are humanoid monsters, ordinary magicians rarely do anything with them, and some vampires are protected by the magic world jump, but this does not prevent them from having things worthy of study.
Their blood and their fangs are excellent magic materials, but they are both good and bad things.
Of course, it's not just vampires, there are too many monsters, and this all requires memory and some accumulation.
It's just that during this period, Noah never gave him a chance to practice what he learned, and he didn't even teach him the curse.
Of course, this is also because Strange has just started, and Noah will have more interesting things for Strange to do later.
...
"Speak, why did you come to me?"
At 221B Baker Street, Constantine sat in the room and poured himself a cup of milk tea. Sitting next to him was a very quiet-looking woman.
Of course, this kind of quietness is just superficial, Noah still knows this woman.
This woman is Angela, Constantine's fiancée, the woman who hired Noah as a student twenty years ago and gave him a large commission.
After this woman possessed spiritual power (magic), she contacted an exorcist while facing the police.
After fully learning the knowledge of exorcists, Angela no longer has much interest in the bad guys in the ordinary world.
It can be said that she has come into contact with a more mysterious and incredible world, and she can no longer be satisfied with an ordinary world.
After quitting her job as a police officer, Angela became busy in the world of exorcists, and her targets were basically those that were harmful to ordinary people.
She gradually grows as she works on the project, and on an unexpected journey she meets Constantine again.
It can be said that this encounter turned their original good feelings into a collision of firewood and fire. The two of them had even planned to get married a few years ago.
But later, Angela joined the MACUSA to become an Auror, and it was not until recently that she came to Constantine's side.
"Of course I will come here only if something happens. Don't you know me very well?" Noah spread his hands: "By the way, you probably haven't had time to get married. It seems that it has been two years and there is still no news."
"It should be soon, but I don't think you are here to ask us about this." Constantine took a sip of milk tea and sighed: "Tell me, what kind of trouble is it? Anyway, as long as you come here, it will definitely be troublesome.
.”
"I have an apprentice who needs practical experience." Noah said directly: "This boy used to be an ordinary person and was good at medicine. Although he is a neurosurgery, I don't think it is a big deal. Let him come into contact with some of those monsters.
All types of guys who intrude on ordinary people’s lives.”
"Are they the same as those little magicians?" Constantine nodded clearly: "Exactly, I don't know what happened to those damn guys. Anyway, after so many years, there are always a lot of guys who are not afraid of death and are self-righteous. But.
It’s okay, we wouldn’t be able to earn so much without them.”
Monsters are everywhere in the world, and there are really many of them.
The most critical point is that they basically operate in the world of ordinary people, and they usually harm the world of ordinary people, so magicians can't control them even if they want to.
Of course, magicians generally use the term "them" to describe these monsters that harm ordinary people. To put it simply, they do not regard them as human beings at all.
Only magicians will use normal vocabulary to describe those things that do not cause harm to ordinary people.
Actually, it is not impossible for the magicians to get rid of these monsters, but they did not take action to take care of these exorcists.
Exorcists live at the intersection of the ordinary world and the magical world, and they also need money in life.
"That's okay." Noah nodded. In fact, this matter is not difficult to say: "Then I will bring him over after I finish the first stage of his study. By the way, who do you plan to let him take care of?
"
"Is this your apprentice?" Constantine looked confused: "Shouldn't you do this kind of thing yourself? Anyway, you have a lot of free time. Don't tell me that you are busy. I won't do this kind of thing.
believe!"
"You let a magician like me run to deal with monsters?" Noah looked at Constantine with a depressed look: "Is it too much? I think it's better for you to find a suitable person to take you with you. I'll forget it.
Bar."
"It's not like I'm asking you to do it yourself, you just need to teach him what to do, right?" Constantine shrugged: "Of course, it's not a big deal if you want to do it yourself. After all, as a guardian, you can't handle this kind of thing.
Is it natural?"
Noah almost rolled his eyes at Constantine. How could a magician like him deal with monsters?
How much overkill does it take to think of this method?
Besides, Noah doesn't plan to let Strange be the exorcist for a long time. This guy's potential is still good.
Shaking his head, Noah simply said: "Forget it, I'll think of a way. By the way, is there anyone still living in this place now?"
"No." Constantine spread his hands as a matter of course: "Isn't this our gathering place? Very few people come here now."
