MTL - I Got on a Ghost Ship By Mistake and Was Forced To Be the Captain-Chapter 97 Columbia and Michigan

  Chapter 97 Columbia University and Michigan State University

   (mistake, this is Chapter 96... don't blame)

On the first day after the higher selection examination, Tu Fu did not sleep until noon. Under the advice of his uncle and aunt, he bought a bunch of gifts non-stop and rushed to the home address left on Professor George McGovern's card. .

  This young professor of history is a researcher under his father and is naturally close to him. Judging from the goodwill released by the other party in the previous contact, he should be on his side.

  The other party must have unique insights in choosing schools and majors.

Professor McGovern's address is also in the Green District, which is not far from the Winster family's residence. In fact, families above the middle class in Leeds usually live in this district. The good security and friendly interpersonal relationship make every resident happy. Can live comfortably.

   "Ding Dong~"

  After ringing the doorbell, a young maid came to open the door. After Tu Fu volunteered his name, he didn't see the young and energetic George McGovern until a while later.

  Even in the morning, this professor wearing gold-rimmed glasses is still wearing a decent vest and trousers. This person's attire seems to always be so elegant and refined, with a kind of temperament belonging to the elite class.

Noticing Tu Fu's scrutinizing gaze, George McGovern smiled softly, "When working under Mr. Capet in the past, he always set an example and taught us to always pay attention to our appearance, and decency is more important than everything else at any time. .”

   "Decentness is above all else." Tu Fu nodded in praise, which is also a rule of the Winster family.

  Excellent tutors, children raised by such an elite class, as long as they are not self-sufficient, generally they will not be so bad.

   "Maggie, serve Ceylon tea and dessert to the guests."

Professor McGovern reached out his hand like Tu Fu to signal him to come in, and blessed the maid to prepare the black tea for the guests, and introduced, "This is a variety produced in the tea gardens of Sri Lanka in the southern continent. After several months of tea workers there Planted, the mellow taste of the tropics is often unforgettable, which is simply a gift from nature to people."

   "It seems that we have to praise the industriousness and selflessness of the people of the Southern Continent." Tu Fu pandered half-jokingly. After McGowan was stunned for a moment, he also smiled at his sense of humor.

  The McGovern house is also a re-examination house, but compared with the Winster house with a sense of life, the young professor's house is more concise, and almost all the shelves in the house are filled with books.

  When you enter the door, you can see a huge bookcase with a mess of categories, including books on history, philosophy, archaeological research notes, and even books related to occultism.

   After a cursory scan, I'm afraid there are thousands of private collections.

  It seems that knowledge is the only thing that is more precious than krona in this era to the upper class.

"I guess you must have done well in the exam. Look, there are questions about your double-slit experiment on it." McGovern picked up a document bag from the table, which is the test paper for this year's national higher selection. If it’s me, I can brag about it to my companions for a lifetime.”

   "Not surprisingly, it should be able to meet the special enrollment quota requirements of the Seven Schools Alliance."

  Tufu didn’t try to be modest either, and told the truth, “But before that, I didn’t think about which university and major I should go to in Göttinghagen.

  Sir, can you give me some advice? "

   "It's really a luxury choice. When I was a child, I always thought about whether to go to Columbia University or Michigan University, but later I realized that I thought too much." McGovern made the conversation easy with a self-deprecating tone.

"In fact, it is not difficult to choose. The University of Göttinghagen is supported by the two chambers and the Baia government. In recent years, relying on the strength of Baia's whole country to build the seventh top university in the North Continent, it has dug out the advantages of other advanced colleges. Professor Shao also has enviable education funding every year.

  The forces in the college are intertwined and complicated, and the business atmosphere is very strong. The main disciplines are engineering, metallurgy, management, architecture and other practical majors. These majors are ranked among the top even in the Seven Schools Alliance.

However, most of the students in this school are descendants of great aristocrats and emerging bourgeoisie. It is no exaggeration to say that the students who are hit by throwing a brick at random in the school, their parents may be some confidential section chief in Göttinghagen. From the perspective of connections, it is indeed a good choice to choose Columbia University.

   Moreover, after the children who graduated from Columbia got the gold-lettered signboard, most of them entered the kingdom's various political systems and became the backbone of the family. From the perspective of future prospects, it is indeed better to go to Göttinghagen. "

  Professor McGovern shared his experience, "It is worth mentioning that it is not easy for children from common people to mix into their circle after entering. You have to understand that nobles and commoners are always two circles."

  Tuff nodded, not surprised by this situation, "What about Miskar Stark?"

   "The situation at the University of Michigan is a bit more special. The real backer behind them is actually the Baier royal family, King William II on the throne, another apex of power in Göttinghagen, and there may be some special interests between the two.

But I can be sure that the University of Michigan has never been a weapon in the hands of the powerful, and it will never be in the future. They flaunt the banner of ideological and academic freedom, and build the best and most simple academic atmosphere. Most of the time, the selection is based on academic rounds rather than status. wheel.

  Compared to Göttinghagen, the academic atmosphere in the town of Villedot will be stronger. Although there is no lack of students from the royal family and nobles who enter the school, the proportion is much smaller in number. There are also many children from poor families who entered this school. These talents are the future seedlings of the academy. They have more potential and are more willing to dedicate everything on the road of chasing the truth. Compared with the arrogant nobles who only value the exchange of benefits, other people here Students are more likely to make connections.

I believe you have heard about professional issues. The history, archaeology, folklore, and psychology of the University of Michigan are all top positions in the industry, and it is definitely the top of the seven-school alliance. Invest in exploration, and there is even a sailing line specially opened for schools. If you can catch this fast boat, it will definitely be of great help to your personal vision and learning. "

  McGovern talked about these important matters incessantly, as if he really considered whether to go to Columbia University or Michigan University when he was young.

One of the key points is the number of teachers in each college of Miska, with the School of History being the most important. It is a sacred place for researchers in the entire history circle. At least half of the famous figures in the academic circle hold various positions in the School of History of the University of Michigan. prior choice.

"Understood."

  After listening to the other party's comparison, Tu Fu already had a plan in mind. Compared with the University of Göttinghagen, he still prefers the strong academic atmosphere of the University of Michigan.

   But what really worried him was whether Miss Winster would be excluded from the circle there after she went to the University of Göttinghagen.

Professor McGovern's bias was already obvious, and then he played an emotional card to add, "It's also very noteworthy that Mimi was also the sponsor of the special investigation with your parents many years ago. .”

   "So, Mr. McGovern, what exactly did my parents do?"

   Tu Fu suddenly asked seriously.

  When this topic was mentioned before, McGovern or his uncle always pushed back and forth, and there was no way to find relevant information about that matter, as if it involved some terrible secret.

   "Now is the time to tell you this, even your uncle can't keep this secret forever."

But that was before, and now that the higher selection is over, McGovern naturally has no worries, "September 2, 1480, I will always remember that date, that branch gathered many well-known professors in the academic world, biology, geology , Physics, Meteorological Science and Paleontology, etc., organized a delegation to start from Baia’s Hamberg port, go all the way south along the coastline, and cross the North Will Ocean. Their final destination is located in the restricted area the polar regions."

   "Polar regions?"

  Tu Fu is also somewhat familiar with this place name. From the North Will Ocean down to the South Continent, he continues to go down until he crosses the Texas Strait and reaches the continent made of ice and snow.

   It is said that the temperature is tens of degrees below zero, and the altitude is extremely high. Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, it is always a world of ice and snow, and few creatures survive. It is definitely one of the worst environments in the world.

  The myth and the propaganda of the Church of the Seven Gods is that the polar region was once the area where the Seven Gods suppressed strange demons, and they exiled those terrifying monsters to such a bitter cold place.

   At the same time, it is also listed as a death zone that prohibits human beings from entering. Anyone who trespasses without authorization will be cursed by the gods.

  So in the historical records, no matter who rashly breaks into the polar region, he will eventually die suddenly.

   "Since taking such a big risk is against the rules set by the Church of the Seven Gods, I don't understand where they are going to do it?" Tu Fu was very puzzled by this.

   "Do you still remember a knowledge point in history, about the unification of the Assyrian Empire in the third era?" McGovern suddenly mentioned this question.

"Because of the birth of the Lionheart King, he joined forces with neighboring countries and created the most powerful knight army. It is precisely because of the reforms of this great and talented emperor in all aspects of the country that he created the most powerful army. , and after decades of conquests and wars in the east and west, the North Continent was unified."

  Tu Fu, who has just passed the advanced selection, will naturally not be stumped by this simple knowledge point.

   "You are right, but in fact the Assyrian Empire was not that strong before that, and it was not even a powerful country among the countries.

   There is an interesting point of view in the field of historiography. It is said that after accepting the Assyrian throne, the Lionheart sent ships to the poles and back again, despite the curse of the church, but that incident is not recorded or may have been erased.

  After that, the Assyrian Empire officially rose, and it was later that the Northern Continent was unified. ” McGovern talked eloquently.

   Hum!

  Hearing this novel statement, Tufu's mind suddenly froze, and he suddenly understood what McGovern said. The Lionheart King once went to the restricted area alone. Perhaps the Assyrian Empire grew stronger by stealing the power of the polar regions.

  The Church of the Seven Gods strictly forbids people to go there, as if trying to cover up something.

  Combined with the secrets told to him by the "gatekeeper", it all corresponds.

  Because of this, the majestic and powerful king was cursed by the seven gods, and his old age was unknown.
