The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 450 Study Materials Package

“Yes! Why does she still have to take an exam?” Vasita asked. “Didn’t the invitation say that as long as she signed her name, they would help her out of this predicament?”

“We’re called the ‘Dawn Society,’ and someone with absolutely no learning ability is obviously no good! Besides, the invitation said it would provide her with a way out of her predicament, not that it would directly help her!” Moran said.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Even if there were, aren't you afraid it might be poisoned? Only things that come at a price are more likely to be cherished and trusted!

Vasita: "..."

“That being said, if we don’t give her some of these first, like the Magic Card - Cleanse Necromancer’s Power, the Food Card - Black Bread, and the Food Card - Drinking Water, won’t she faint from necromancy before she even finishes her exams, or starve or die of thirst?” Lilith said.

“Don’t worry!” Moran said, “During her slumber, her body has recovered. Even if I reintroduce some necromantic power into her body, she will be in good enough shape to last for four hours.”

In this time, any person of normal intelligence could definitely finish reading the material with a little effort. The exam isn't difficult either; as long as you read carefully, you'll definitely pass.

“What if some undead creatures come at this hour? It’s almost nightfall. She’s just a mage apprentice, and there are mid- to high-level undead creatures all around her,” Sylph asked.

"No! The undead creatures around here have suffered heavy losses, so they shouldn't be wandering around so often lately. Even if they are, Greta's lucky intuition will help her avoid them."

Moran said, "If she can't even complete such a simple task, then she's not suitable to be our first alien contractor. We'll focus on training her."

“I have this feeling that we’re not looking for contractors to sell magic to, but rather that others are begging to be our contractors,” Vasita said. “Will this really work? Shouldn’t we be more humble in business?”

"Don't worry about feelings, this is the truth!" Moran said. "Please, have some confidence! Magic that you can use without learning or relying on talent, just by paying some magic power, is already very precious! There are plenty of people who want to learn it!"
If we weren't worried about revealing our witch identities too early and attracting danger, we wouldn't have come here personally to recruit contractors. We couldn't lower our standards any further; it would lower our image and reduce future sales.

If you were in that situation, would you value something that everyone desperately wants but can't have, or something that's being sold off everywhere? Which would you be less willing to lose?

"The value will also increase everyone's willingness to protect the Dawn Society, reducing the likelihood of us being exposed!"

Lilith, Vasida, and Sylph finally began to grasp the basics.

At times like these, I feel utterly overwhelmed by Moran's wisdom.

Greta, propped up by the tree, tried to ignore the discomfort brought by the necromantic power, the hunger in her stomach, and the thirst in her mouth, and took out the corresponding {learning material package card} from the trial card.

{Study Material Pack} (Disposable)
[Function: Contains the "Dawn Society Resource List," "Dawn Society Objectives," and "Dawn Society Confidentiality Regulations." This card can only be read once and will be automatically destroyed after completion. Becoming a full member of the society grants permanent access to this card.]

"A one-time use card?"

Although Lilith, Vasita, and Sylph now understand that Moran is testing Greta and making her cherish the opportunity to join the Dawn Society, the more difficult the trial, the more decisive she will be in signing a formal witch contract after passing it.

But isn't it a bit too much to only allow students to read the learning materials once?

There are still exams to come!

“If you really look at it carefully, there won’t be any problems,” Moran said.

"Are you sure you mean the average person looking at something carefully, and not just yourself looking at something carefully?" Lilith asked.

The difference is huge!
“Of course it’s for ordinary people!” Moran said. “Don’t worry, it’s all multiple choice. As long as you have a little recollection, you can get it right!” Greta had no idea that the exam was just multiple choice.

When she was preparing the saints' class at the temple, there were often tests such as reciting and writing down the doctrines. Before each test, everyone had to review for a period of time.

Given her current physical condition, she simply can't hold on for much longer. How could she possibly memorize all three sets of study materials, which, while not long, are still quite substantial?
For a moment, I felt a bit desperate.

What she thought was a lifeline has now turned out to be a lifeline that snaps easily and can't support her at all.

But there's no other way now, so we have to bite the bullet and start watching!

Moran nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad. Although I felt I couldn't finish it, I didn't give up!"

With this spirit, she'll have no problem with this trial mission.

Greta, based on her own experience, first selected two documents that resembled doctrines and temple prohibitions to read: "The Doctrine of the Dawn Society" and "The Regulations of Secrecy of the Dawn Society".

These two documents contain less information, but in her opinion, they are more important than those in the "Dawn Society Resource List".

Although time was short, she didn't rush through it. If she rushed through it, she wouldn't retain anything in her mind, and it would be as if she hadn't read it at all.

She forced herself to calm down and patiently read the information.

I got absorbed in it as I read on.

Every word in the "Dawn Society's Mission" tells her that only through hard work can one reap rewards, and that success comes from striving; one's destiny is in one's own hands.

After reading the entire text, not a single word mentions sacrificing oneself for the organization or offering loyalty to the organization, which is completely different from the doctrines of the temple.

The text here refers to "oneself," while the temple refers to "the God of Light" and "the temple."

The Dawn Society's Confidentiality Regulations do not contain many rules and regulations. They are all designed around the safety of the Society and its members. The only strict rule is to prohibit the disclosure of specific information about the Society and its other members to non-members.

There were no restrictions on members joining other organizations.

These loose regulations gave Greta an extra layer of trust in the society.

Having been brainwashed by the temple for so long, she had developed a rebellious mentality. The more grandly they boasted about themselves, smeared other organizations, and imposed various prohibitions, the more vigilant she became.

When she saw the "Dawn Society Resource List", she also understood what the "Dawn Society Mission" meant by giving and receiving.

She had never heard of many of the items on the list, but they sounded impressive from the descriptions.

Although they have different names, they are similar in effect to the precious resources that only saints in the temple can access.

And all of these items have a uniform price—gem coins!

Gem coins can be obtained by exchanging one's own recoverable magical energy.
