As Ocasi said, the headquarters of the True Knowledge Society is very deserted.
Relying on Ocasi's identity certificate, they walked into the castle smoothly without meeting any other wizards along the way.
It wasn't until Ocasie took him to a study on the top floor that he met the first wizard besides them here.
"Xue Lai, I didn't expect you to be on duty today." Ocasie said in surprise.
White sunlight poured into the room through the round glass window. In front of the brown desk, a petite witch sat.
The sorceress has short white hair like falling snow, which reaches just to her chin. It is shiny and smooth, like satin. It looks completely different from the old man's white hair, more like fluffy snow.
Under the white hair, there is also a young face that complements it. With fair skin and delicate facial features, he looks about sixteen or seventeen years old at most.
She seemed to be reading just now, holding a thick book with a black cover in her hand.
"Okashi." When Xue Lai saw someone entering, she subconsciously raised her head and greeted her, her eyes a little blank, and then she looked back at the thick book in her hand.
The thick and huge black book almost completely covered her face, revealing only a pair of focused blue eyes, which seemed not to care at all why they came here.
Ocasie was used to her appearance, so she took Colin to the opposite side of the desk and sat down, then knocked on the table.
"Xue Lai, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I have brought a wizard who wants to join the True Knowledge Society, and you need to take the entrance examination."
"Is there anyone new to join?" Xue Lai slowly closed the book and murmured to himself, as if a running machine was switching modes.
After a while, she placed the thick book next to her right hand, her eyes became clear, she looked at Ocasie and asked again:
"Are there any new wizards who want to join the True Knowledge Society?"
"Yes." O'Cassie looked slightly flustered.
Xue glanced at her, thought for a moment, then turned to look at Colin, and spoke slowly and calmly:
"Your Majesty the Wizard, are you sure you want to join the True Knowledge Society?"
"Snow is coming!" Ocasi shouted hurriedly from the side.
Xue Lai ignored her, looked at Colin with clear blue eyes and continued:
"I don't know how Ocasi told you, but there have been no new members joining Neustadt City's True Knowledge Society for about ten years."
As soon as her words fell, Ocasie immediately withered like an eggplant beaten by frost, and hurriedly defended:
"It's not that exaggerated. This is not because the pure-blood family established a research association and diverted away some of the wizards who researched knowledge."
"No...it's not just that." Xue Lai shook his head, "The number of new wizards in the True Knowledge Society has been decreasing since hundreds of years ago. Those pure-blood families established are limited to one or several pure-blood families. The research conference only accelerated this process."
"The fundamental reason behind it is that studying witchcraft is too dangerous."
Ocasi opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.
Studying witchcraft, or studying knowledge, is a very dangerous thing, and it is now a consensus among all wizards.
Xue Lai paused and continued to explain:
"So, there are some things I need to explain to you in advance."
"First of all, after joining the True Knowledge Society, although there are indeed no restrictions, if there is no new witchcraft or knowledge output within the first two years, then you will be forcibly removed from the membership of the True Knowledge Society.
This also means that after joining the True Knowledge Society, no matter what the purpose, you must continue to study witchcraft for at least the first two years. You must carefully consider the risks involved."
"Secondly, the fact that the True Knowledge Society has basically no restrictions also means that the True Knowledge Society basically has no benefits.
All knowledge needs to be exchanged with True Knowledge Society points, and researchers at each level are only allowed to exchange for knowledge that is one level higher than their own strength."
Xue Lai spoke calmly, looking at Colin with no expression on her face.
"So, how can I improve my research level?" Colin thought for a while and asked with her calm eyes.
"Create ten or more new witchcrafts equal to the research level, or discover five new knowledges of the same level, or create three new witchcrafts higher than your own research level."
Xue Lai calmly replied that such conditions were only difficult thousands of years ago when there was no dirty talk, but now they are considered harsh.
"As long as there is a difference of 30%, it is considered a new witchcraft, and in recent years, talents have withered. Even if you have not successfully advanced after two years, there are some ways to delay withdrawal..." O'Casey subconsciously said
Colin added.
Colin smiled and didn't care. He turned to the white-haired wizard in front of him and said seriously: "Thank you for your explanation. I already understand the risks, but I still plan to join the True Knowledge Society."
After all, the risk of joining the True Knowledge Society is nothing more than the risk of researching knowledge.
For him, researching knowledge has always been an experience.
As the wizard's level increases and his spirit continues to sublimate, he also understands the nature of gold paper more and more clearly.
At the beginning, he thought that the knowledge brought by the golden paper breaking the limit appeared out of thin air, but that was just because his original spirit was too weak.
Now it seems that the process of breaking the limit of gold paper is more like - using the existing knowledge to continuously research, and then having a flash of inspiration, successfully creating a new witchcraft.
It's just that the golden paper compressed this process into an instant, and as if it were a mandatory rule, it guaranteed its inevitable success and guaranteed that the witchcraft after breaking the limit would be better than the previous witchcraft.
Colin cannot interfere with and control this process yet, but he can barely feel it.
But no matter what, for Colin, there is no difference between the witchcraft that comes from breaking through the limitations in his mind and the one that comes from personal research.
This also means that as long as he uses gold paper to "study" witchcraft, he will not be affected by dirty words like other people who study witchcraft.
After Colin finished speaking, surprise appeared on Ocasie's face.
Perhaps because of her guilt over her original prejudice, or perhaps for some other reason, she really hoped in her heart that Colin could become a member of the True Knowledge Society like her.
"Let's take the assessment, Xue Lai." O'Cassie stroked her glasses and urged impatiently, then paused and added, "By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, Mr. Colin is still the Golden Feather of our school.
genius!"
"Yeah." Xue Lai didn't react, just nodded slightly, then reached out to Colin and said, "Please give me your creation of initiation witchcraft."
"Okay." Colin handed over the bound booklet.
The subsequent process was similar to that at the General Affairs Castle. Xue Lai also signed a confidentiality contract and began to carefully read the steel temperature-resistant force field that broke the limit.
Colin waited patiently.
Not long after, Xue Lai put down the crystal ball and the witchcraft book in his hand, "It is indeed a brand new witchcraft that has not been included in the True Knowledge Society."
Just when Colin thought it was over, Xue Lai picked up the booklet again and asked:
"May I ask what your original research idea was and why you chose the form of a composite force field."
Colin was startled, but he quickly reacted and replied calmly:
"The steel temperature-resistant force field is actually inspired by steel armor, Hope's defensive force field, and secondary high-temperature resistance. I want to create a witchcraft that takes into account the advantages of both. A single force field is obviously
It couldn't meet my needs, so I finally chose the form of a composite force field."
"Yes." Xue Lai nodded slightly, her satin-like white hair swaying slightly, and the tips of her hair brushed across her young and smooth cheeks. She thought for a while and asked: "The temperature-resistant structure is not a force field. How can it be responsible for it?"
Are the defensive force fields integrated with each other?"
Ocasi looked at Xue Lai with an expression of admiration.
You must know that not everyone can be on duty in this study... at least, she can't.
If Colin is a genius in wizard cultivation, then Xue Lai is a genius in witchcraft research.
Even if compared, her talent in witchcraft research is even more exaggerated than Colin's talent in cultivation!
"In fact, the temperature-resistant structure is not a fusion, but more like a covering, just like covering a wooden shield with a layer of iron. Of course, it can also be said to be covering an iron shield with a layer of wood."
Colin continued to answer, feeling a little surprised.
Unlike the old inspection wizard who had not understood his own witchcraft in the General Affairs Castle before, the young looking witch in front of him had already understood his own witchcraft in this short period of time.
It’s even very in-depth!
"Can you be more specific? How are they so closely integrated?" Xue Lai continued to ask, with a serious look on his face, and his pale blue eyes stared at him closely, full of curiosity and exploration.
After touching his nose, Colin suppressed the uncomfortable feeling of being looked at and continued to answer:
"The force field is not dense and smooth..."
At this time, Ocasi could not understand the conversation between the two.
Xue Lai and Colin kept asking and answering questions, and the distance gradually got closer. Later, she even took out two pens and a stack of manuscript paper, and started writing and drawing with Colin on the spot.
"The steel force field exhibits properties similar to steel because of its special structure..."
"The reason why Hope's defensive force field has a certain resistance to mental attacks..."
Looking at this scene, Ocasie felt that she was out of tune and an outsider in the study.
She felt a little frustrated in her heart. Looking at Colin and the two sitting together, she felt a little uneasy.
Fortunately, this discomfort did not last long.
After half an hour, the assessment was over.
Xue Lai handed the book back to Colin, paused and said seriously: "This steel temperature-resistant force field is of excellent quality among first-level lower-level witchcraft."
"First level lower level?" O'Casey was a little surprised. She originally thought that the witchcraft Colin said he created was just some zero-level witchcraft.
After all, she knew that Colin had only become a first-level wizard a few months ago...
However, it has already been a few months. I just created a first-level low-level witchcraft. It seems that there is no need to make too much fuss. Maybe I have been researching it during the apprenticeship stage.
Just like Xue Lai next to her, didn't she also create first-level witchcraft during her apprenticeship?
"So I passed the test?" Colin smiled and took the witchcraft book in no hurry.
"Passed." Xue Lai nodded vigorously and seriously, her chin-length white hair swaying, and continued to push the book forward with her white and tender hands, signaling Colin to take it back.
Colin shook his head, held down a corner of the booklet, and pushed the book back, "Can this witchcraft be counted as one of the witchcraft that improves the research level?"
Xue Lai shook his head.
"Can that be used to redeem Shinchikai points?"
"Can."
"If I can come up with three first-level witchcrafts that I created right now, can I be promoted from a zero-level researcher to a first-level researcher?"
"Can."
After hearing his satisfactory answer, Colin no longer hesitated, picked up the paper and pen provided by Xue Lai just now, and began to write quickly.
The speed of the first-order knight made him write as fast as a printer, and large blocks of text quickly spread out on the white manuscript paper.
Xue Lai's calm expression gradually became turbulent. Ocasie next to her had adjusted her glasses several times, but she still couldn't hide the shock on her face!
There are also three first-level witchcrafts?
Colin has only been a first-level wizard for a few months, how could he have created three...no! four first-level witchcrafts?!
But not long after, Colin had written down the remaining three witchcrafts silently, and the facts were already in front of him.
Ocasi had to accept it and complained angrily in her heart.
Thinking about it now, I hope that Colin will join the True Knowledge Society, and maybe I also have the idea of regaining face in an aspect that I am good at?
O'Cassie was a little glad that she didn't say anything to Colin in advance about whether she wanted to help him study witchcraft. She had an idea about witchcraft that she could provide him with... or something weird like that.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Otherwise, you will be embarrassed and want to crawl into the cracks of the ground now.
...I have to admit that although being a first-level researcher of the True Knowledge Society already represents her excellent talent in witchcraft.
But compared to the two perverts in front of me, the gap is still too far.
The next step is the same process as before. Xue Lai signed the contract and then checked and inquired carefully.
After a long time, she ended her discussion with Colin, looked at him and said calmly:
"Congratulations on your promotion to first-level researcher."
With that said, she wanted to hand the witchcraft booklet to Colin again.
Promotion to the research level does not mean that the witchcraft created must be handed over to the True Knowledge Society, but just like the entrance examination, as long as it is confirmed to be a new witchcraft and created by oneself.
But Colin waved his hand again and asked: "I want to know how many points can be exchanged for these witchcrafts in total."
Xue Lai thought for a moment and said: "About eight hundred, the details need to be further identified."
Colin nodded and asked again: "I would like to know how many points are generally required to redeem knowledge in the True Knowledge Society, such as a first-level witchcraft, such as meditation."
Xue Lai paused, took out a crystal from the desk drawer, and handed it to Colin: "As a first-level researcher, you can use this crystal to check the exchange price of all knowledge at the second level and below."
Taking the crystal, without saying a word, Colin quickly sunk his mind into it. After a moment, he used the search function to find the second stage of the Xisheng Meditation Method in the vast knowledge base.
He focused his thoughts on the characters behind the Xisheng Meditation Method (second stage)——
【1000 points.】
After seeing it clearly, Colin suddenly felt a sense of surprise in his heart!
Congressman Noynes, don’t lie to me!
It is indeed much more cost-effective to redeem the Xisheng Meditation Method (Level 2) at the True Knowledge Society!
Just four witchcrafts can already be exchanged for more than 800 points, which is only a little short of the Xisheng Meditation Method (Second Level)!
You must know that the old wizard at the General Affairs Castle previously gave only 300 contribution points for the steel temperature-resistant force field, but the contribution points required to redeem the Tin Saint Meditation Method at the school were a full 10,000!
The gap between the two has become so large that it is somewhat unreasonable.
However, considering the difficulty of joining the True Knowledge Society, it doesn’t seem to be unacceptable if you think about it carefully.
In fact, what he was more confused about was——
How on earth did this so-called Society of True Knowledge tear off so much power from those schools of thought?
Based on his current understanding of this issue, he is destined to have no answer.
So Colin put it aside. After all, his curiosity was not serious... and for some things, the more you know, the better.
"How can I redeem the knowledge in it?" he continued to ask.
"Go to the big crystal on the underground floor!" Ocasie finally found something she could interrupt and said quickly.
Xue Lai nodded, hugged the thick black book, and stood up slowly.
If she weren't wearing a black witch robe, just looking at her holding a book, she would look like a high school girl in her previous life, with a calm and bookish temperament.
Xue Lai walked towards the door and said, "Follow me. You have to get the identity badge of a first-level researcher before you can record and use your points."
"Okay." Colin nodded, followed Xue Lai with Ocasie, and walked out.
