Chapter 556 You will be called Sherlock Holmes from now on
"What is this place, mentor?"
After breakfast, Strange was brought to a quaint-looking room by Noah using magic just as the king said.
And there was no need for Noah to give instructions. Strange consciously changed his accent to a British one.
What he did surprised Noah a little. To be honest, Strange was really unparalleled in terms of learning.
Don't think that the British accent and the American accent look similar and give people a feeling that they are easy to learn. In fact, there are still huge differences.
Just like in Noah's previous life, the dialects in various places were similar, but it was still very difficult to learn them in a short time.
But this kind of difficulty doesn't seem to exist here at all in Strange's case. In just one month, he didn't learn it at all. He was able to use this accent just by listening.
"This is where you will work from now on." Noah spread his hands and said directly: "This is Baker Street, 221B. You will work here from now on."
"221B Baker Street?" Strange was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that he would actually come to this place.
After this month of supplementary study, Strange has gained a very in-depth understanding of the history of the magical world - especially modern history.
It can be said that the entire modern history of the magic world is deeply connected with one person.
And this person is his current mentor Noah Fenier. It can be said that he is the magician in front of him who looks younger than himself. He has changed the stagnant environment of the entire magical world!
Strange remembered that Anton Pavlovich Chekhov once wrote a book called "The Man in the Box", which fit the environment of the wizarding world at that time.
A mentality that is both afraid of causing trouble and afraid of changing everything makes the magical world feel like a backwater.
Fortunately, there is no such thing as "tsarist dictatorship" in the magical world, otherwise God knows what kind of trouble would have occurred.
Noah's appearance was like a stone thrown into this stagnant lake, otherwise it would cause huge ripples and wake up all the fish in it.
Among Noah's life achievements, two early achievements were the establishment of the Wizards' Alliance and the defeat of Voldemort, the villain who troubled the British Ministry of Magic.
There is nothing good to say about Voldemort. In the current magical environment, this guy is just a guy who gives away people's heads.
Strange also has no interest in such a being. As for why this guy has such great influence, Strange sees it very clearly - it is not because of the pride of the British.
So Strange didn't take this guy to heart at all, but the establishment of the Mage Alliance made Strange look a little suspiciously.
The emergence of the Mage Alliance not only gave young magicians an opportunity to adapt to independence earlier, but also trained these young magicians to a great extent.
The most important thing is that this small organization also brings together two groups with relatively poor relations in the magical world.
The Exorcist, an existence that wanders between the magical world and the world of ordinary people, an existence that is regarded as strange by both worlds, has relatively changed a lot under Noah's series of operations.
All these descriptions are recorded in the modern history of magic, and Noah's evaluation here is also ridiculously high.
Strange read these descriptions carefully, so he naturally knew that this so-called 'Baker Street 221B' was actually the earliest firm established by Noah and the Exorcist together!
"It's actually here." Strange nodded, and then looked at Noah with a strange expression: "But mentor, why?"
"Why?" Noah found a place and sat down: "Why are you here? Or why are you here?"
"I still seem to be..."
"You are not qualified, so I have to think of something."
Noah interrupted Strange without finishing his words. Strange suddenly felt dizzy without any action, and the next moment he found himself sitting on a chair.
And at some point, a teacup appeared in his hand, and brown milk tea slowly appeared in the teacup from scratch.
Noah took a sip of milk tea, and then slowly said: "The king has given you the book "Elementary Curse", right?"
"Yes, just this morning." Strange nodded, and then took a sip.
"Then let me test you. Vampires are considered basic monsters. Where is their legendary origin? How to deal with them?"
"The legend of vampires originated from the folklore of the Slavs in the Balkans and Eastern Europe. In these legends, vampires refer to the corpses of the dead who rise from the grave to drink human blood. But it has slowly evolved into what it is now, and there are many ways to deal with them.
, such as using silver weapons or using magic attacks."
"Hmm, let's continue. With the characteristics of the harpy, how can we tell if a person has been attacked by such a thing?"
"Harpies like to collect treasures and steal other people's voices. They always fly in groups in the air and wait for opportunities to attack enemies. They will leave terrible scratches on their victims, with three marks per pair.
The best way to deal with them is to use some special potions or magic."
Strange's answer was quite satisfactory, but Noah smiled and shook his head after hearing it.
I have to say that he did not answer any questions, and in terms of endorsement, I am afraid that medical students will never be worse than any liberal arts students.
But the problem is that these answers are also regarded as things in textbooks. Of course Noah is not satisfied with such a simple answer.
As a magician with rich experience, it is naturally impossible to regard these things as standards. In this regard, I am afraid that even many students of the Mage Alliance are much better than Strange.
"I can only say that everything in the book is true, but you have to learn too much." Noah spread his hands: "Let me ask you, whether it is a vampire or a harpy, if they destroy the scene
How are you going to judge?"
"This..." Strange was stunned for a moment. It seemed that this issue was not introduced in the book.
"Look at the condition of the corpse and explore the tools used to destroy it. If it's torn, you can guess it's a vampire, or it could be a werewolf, depending on the actual situation. And if it's torn, you can think it's a hawk.
Banshees, because they all have sharp and destructive claws."
Speaking of which, Noah won't say much more, because if it were Noah who did it himself, he would probably use a retrospective magic to restore the situation that had happened here.
But this does not prevent Noah from being able to determine the specific situation even without these magics.
You must know that in the past, when Noah did not master so many powerful magics, he seriously studied all kinds of monster knowledge.
Although in the end Noah basically didn't deal with any monsters or magical animals, it still helped Noah a lot.
For example, Dragonborn magic is actually because Noah has so much accumulation, so that when Noah learns knowledge such as the dragon's body structure, he can master it at an unimaginably fast speed.
Strange's potential is unimaginable, and Noah doesn't intend to pass it by so perfunctorily.
At least no step should be taken by this guy. Even if the time is compressed by Noah, Noah will never let him do less of what he needs to do.
While you are working as an exorcist here, you will also learn the skills of those spells seriously.
At the same time, he can integrate what he learned when he was an exorcist. This is the purpose of Noah throwing Strange here.
And in order to ensure that this guy has no problems, Noah himself will also give this guy some necessary help here.
"You can stay here from now on. By the way, this place is open for business." Noah took a sip of milk tea from the cup and then said slowly.
"Am I... here to be an exorcist?" Strange's mouth twitched: "Am I the only one?"
"For now, yes." Noah nodded matter-of-factly: "Of course, if you want to find a helper or something, you can go find one, I don't mind. Or, you can go find someone who shares the apartment with you.
People can do it, after all, I charge a fee here."
"For a fee... as a roommate?" Strange's expression became even more expressionless at this moment.
He really didn't expect Noah to do this. Is this really how a mentor treats his apprentice?
Strange sighed, knowing that he might really have to be his exorcist here now, otherwise he would have no choice but to go home.
Strange knew Noah's behavior, and he knew that once he chose to go home, there would definitely be some problems with his memory.
There were scenes like this in the movies at that time. For example, when Noah first formed the Mage Alliance, he often threatened people with the Oblivion Curse.
These things were acknowledged by the parties involved, and even Noah himself admitted that he had done this.
However, considering the situation at the time, there was nothing wrong with Noah's approach. On the contrary, it gave Noah a good reputation for being courageous.
Strange didn't want such a fucking thing to happen to him, so Strange felt that he could just do what Noah said honestly.
Thinking of this, Strange also silently took a sip of the milk tea in his hand. He was thinking about how to find someone to help relieve the pressure of rent.
After thinking for a while, Strange asked: "Do I have to find someone from the magical world to be my assistant or someone to share my apartment with?"
"No." Noah shook his head: "You can find an ordinary person."
"Ordinary people?" Strange frowned: "If you find an ordinary person, then I might have to do things or take on business..."
"Why do you feel embarrassed?" Noah smiled: "You are an exorcist and a magician. You can do whatever you have to do. Do you understand?"
Strange was stunned, and then he looked at Noah with a look of disbelief and a little reverence. Noah himself was a little baffled by this look.
Strange nodded seriously: "I understand, mentor. I know what to do."
"Aha?" Noah touched his head and said without bothering to figure out what he understood: "That's fine. By the way, your name here will be called 'Sherlock Holmes' from now on."
