Chapter 484 "Conceited" and "Intruder" (4K [-]-in-[-])

Failed again? ?
Fanning really didn't expect that such an existence as Poglelic would have such an experience when he was young.

"But the very strange thing is—" the saint continued.

"Relevant files show that during the latter period of his stay in San Porto, in order to earn living and consumable expenses, Poglerich used his spare time to take some private art lessons."

"Different from famous teachers in the upper class, these young people who come to Poglerich to learn art are not of high social class. Most of them come from civilian workers, company employees, small civil servants, squires or wealthy peasant families. Their talents are relatively limited. The teaching content is mainly based on traditional basic courses of academic or religious schools. 'The artistic dream ran to San Porto"

"But in the same year, among the art students he taught, at least five were admitted to the first-class university in San Porto, and even two of them were directly admitted to the Janus Royal Academy of Fine Arts!"

"What kind of pattern did they draw? According to what pattern is the law?" Fanning couldn't help staring in surprise.

"It's very classic, very traditional, and very basic student work." The saint said, "By the way, it is worth mentioning that half a century later, in 869, a young man obtained a failed painting by Poglerich in a remote collection through various channels at a relatively low price. This person is Colin Davis, the father of the current inspector general Owen Davis. One of the members, whether there is some kind of connection among them is unknown."

"In short, this is another historical material that can reflect Poglerich's temperament and talent. It's not that he is incapable of being admitted to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, but he doesn't bother to use those step-by-step works that are not his true original intention to win the first place."

"However, if you look at the change of the college you applied for before, when he was an ignorant person, his personality was still somewhat contradictory. He was conceited, but not purely conceited, insisted on himself, but not purely self-willed. He seemed to want to declare that he was not mediocre, and he still wanted to get some worldly achievements to prove himself."

It's very similar to some "student masters" who behaved perversely in middle school in the previous life. Fan Ning secretly commented in his heart, and also tried to analyze the ins and outs of this person's character from some of his past behaviors.

It's like a middle school student who uses advanced methods to do big math problems throughout the text, but because it doesn't meet the intention of the proposition, he always loses some extra step points.You say he doesn’t care about the score, he will try again and again on the edge of the "scoring standard", trying to prove himself next time to get back the full score, you say he cares about the score, he is beaten to death and unwilling to return to the elementary solution that he doesn’t like
very strange people.

"For five whole years, Poglerich's test results remained the same as before, but there was a strange turning point in the economy because of this—the students thanked him for money, either personally or in the name of the family, and thanked them a lot."

"This is definitely not a bad thing. It indirectly proves that strength is one aspect. What's more realistic is that you can't even afford painting and sculpting tools. You can change your rented place from an alleyway to a street apartment. You don't have to think about whether to buy a paint or a bag of bread the next day."

"It stands to reason that there are conditions for continuing to take the exam."

"But it's hard to guess what kind of mental state Poglerich was in at that time. He seemed to have given up the idea of ​​becoming a professional artist overnight, and planned to change his career other than stone workshop owner and artist. After returning the gratitude money from the students to the family, he left San Porto almost penniless."

"He joined a family of mercenaries."

"Since the Spirit Hidden Commandments were banned from preaching in the Northern Continent, there have been disputed territorial and military frictions between Tiolein and Lydia all year round. There are not a few private armed groups doing this kind of work on the border. They come in very quickly and lose their lives very quickly. The leader of this mercenary army is a Tiolean. He is very ambitious and speaks some grassland loyalty. He chose to engage in this life-saving business because of his desire to live a life of luxury and pleasure."

"But after Poglerich joined, things seemed to go smoothly. The leader found that he spent one year to complete the wealth that he had planned to acquire in 20 years, so he suddenly didn't want to do it anymore, and decided to go back to China to recuperate and enjoy himself."

"Coincidentally, Tiolein had an opportunity. Due to the rapid industrial development in those decades, Tiolein's urban population and economic volume showed a blowout growth. Internally, there was a need to further strengthen the security of the mysterious side. Externally, there was the motivation and confidence to expand the army. In the year 820 of the new calendar, this leader directly 'resold' the mercenaries at a high price to the regular military.

"At that time, Poglerich was naturally a leader candidate in the mercenary army. He was also valued by the military because of his excellent combat shooting skills and combat command ability. Just when he was about to become a young and promising imperial officer, another piece of 'inside information from the police department and the military' attracted his attention—"

"There is a mysterious official agency called 'Special Patrol Office', which is recruiting for a position called 'Investigator'. The Imperial Police Department and the military system are two types of key development groups."

"Poglerich compared several types of qualities listed by the Special Patrol Office as 'suitable to be an investigator', and found that he seemed to fit one of the types very well, especially in terms of grasping the shape and structure of things and the skill of using carving knives."

"When he officially joined the Special Patrol Office, the records of his activities were not kept in the secular society, and they were not so clear."

"But within official organizations, basic intelligence is semi-public."

"The time when Poglerich was the Inspector General of the Special Inspection Office was in the year 821 of the new calendar, when he was 22 years old."

Such a timeline made Fan Ning feel a little horrified.

It should be noted that in 819, Poglerich was still studying art and teaching art in San Porto. In 820, he gave up being a professional artist and joined the mercenary army. He stayed in the mercenary army for a year!
In other words, he went from being exposed to secret knowledge to practicing dream control, from becoming a knowledgeable person to middle and high ranks, and then to being promoted to the first level of understanding and becoming a high-level special patrol agency. All this happened in just a few months!
And what's even more frightening is that he still uses a self-created key! !

"Then his semi-public resume is basically known to the officials with high ranks and above."

"The Special Inspection Office has been controlling hidden knowledge carriers such as taboo books and mysterious paintings since the 20s. Public speaking and strange powers are prohibited. The official knowledgeable people of Tiolein are included in the establishment management, and those who violate the ban are severely investigated. This series of measures and suggestions were put forward by Poglerich after joining the Special Inspection Office as the inspector general for a few months. The then director fully agreed with it."

"This not only further weakened my Church of the Holy Sun's control over the northern continent, but in fact, the independent interests of the two schools were also damaged to varying degrees, and the latter was actually a cooperative ally of the Special Patrol Office in the 'Second Persuasion War'."

"Poglerich, as a controversial inspector general with an 'ambitious' evaluation, appeared in the high-level vision of extraordinary forces for the first time in this way. At that time, apart from my church, the high-level leaders of the two schools of thought were also extremely dissatisfied with him. During this period of time, they also cooperated passively in their work."

"But in the 830th year of the new calendar, Poglerich, who has been in contact with the mystery for less than ten years, has become the orderer and the director of the special patrol office. I am afraid that he will not be as knowledgeable as these understanding people."

"The 31-year-old minister at the time, the first thing he did after taking office was to promote the physical operation of the discussion group."

Fan Ning nodded slightly, he understood what this so-called "substantial operation" meant.

In fact, the mechanism for official organizations to jointly discuss abnormal areas has precedents as early as the third history, and the current "discussion group" was established in the last century.

It's been a long time.

But it has been just a nominal 'shell' before.

As Sir Viadrin once commented, "Looking at the length of time from generation to generation, the average spread of the abnormal area is not much compared with the vast and boundless world. On the one hand, people have enough time to use their imaginations. Doomsday theory will not lead to excessive social disorder. On the other hand, for those in power and extraordinary organizations, the abnormal area is not so much a practical problem, as it is an academic, ideological or conceptual problem."

The function of the discussion group has always been a "necessary, but not urgent" thing.

It was only after Poglerich took office as director that the 'proliferation mechanism and countermeasures in abnormal areas' was put on the agenda of the discussion group as a regular agenda item. Under the dual effects of leading research status and strength factors, his identity as the leader of the discussion group was quickly confirmed.

"In the 846th year of the new calendar, Poglerich informed the Extraordinary world of the law of the proliferation of abnormal areas, and gave the naming system and criteria for 'ge', requiring all Extraordinary organizations to urge the cultural departments of various countries to manage, evaluate, and serve artists. There must be a unified standard."

"In 849, Poglerich concluded that 'The Harvest Art Festival belongs to the scope of the discussion group's functions and responsibilities, and should be managed by the discussion group', and he himself is the leader of the discussion group. So from the 30th session of that year, this top art event that has lasted for more than 200 years has actually been held in the hands of the Special Inspection Office."

"In 850, the discussion group promulgated the 'Boethius Artist' selection mechanism, but it has not yet been linked to mysterious side behaviors such as crossing doors."

"In 875, the Special Inspection Office began to set up stations on other continents in the name of 'strengthening discussion group exchanges', which means that the scope of Poglerich's control has gone beyond Tiolein."

"In 890, Poglerich started the investigation and search for the wreckage of the planner Yuanshen. It is worth mentioning that the investigation team of the special inspection agency returned from the abnormal area of ​​B-105 before this.

"In 910, 60 years after the 'Boethius Artist' selection mechanism was in operation, Poglerich asked the discussion group to use this as a basis to control the authority to pass through the door, and asked the Special Inspection Office to come up with a specific plan to realize the control."

"In 912, the researchers of the Special Patrol Office came up with a 'Phantom Man' control plan."

"In the summer of 914, Poglerich launched the solicitation of 'potential artists' in the name of a discussion group, with the intention of making the 40th Harvest Art Festival two years later 'achieve the most fruitful results since the Romantic period'. In fact, it is to realize the full control of the special patrol office over the human art industry and shake the authoritative evaluation system dominated by the 'academic school' and the 'ecclesiastical school'."

"In the autumn of 914, after the 'Meat Sacrifice' event ended, planning for the second exploration of the anomalous area began. At this point, the preparation progress should have passed halfway."

The timeline has reached his own era, and Fanning confirmed some things he experienced later.

Finally, I have a comprehensive understanding of this person's past experience.

Terrifying talent, elitism, deep-seated control and ruling thinking, a slightly contradictory personality when young, but the result of fighting with oneself just shows the pure maverick conceit, and has extremely clear goals and clear ideas at each stage later.

Moreover, the "main line" of different stages is also clear-the investigation of the abnormal area is the core, and the mysterious control and artistic intervention are the two wings of one body.

"Generally speaking, during the first half of Poglerich's tenure as director, his series of control methods, mysterious talent and strength, and his contribution to 'response to the proliferation of abnormal areas' left everyone with a mixture of five points of dissatisfaction and five points of prestige."

"But later everyone gradually discovered that this person is not just conceited or ambitious."

"In fact, everyone clearly has a common position on issues such as investigating secret organizations or curbing the spread of abnormal areas, but even if other official organizations cooperate with his actions, or transfer some of the organization's interests, they still cannot be properly discussed, and they will still not be regarded as true allies."

Trust is the most influential factor. What kind of benefit distribution plan can be negotiated is directly linked to the trust degree of both parties.

When Fan Ning heard the evaluation of the saint, he thought of another "Master Luckert" who was also a saint, and the latter once commented almost exactly the same content:

"Poglerich doesn't trust all official organizations except the Special Patrol Office at all. When he thinks about things in his heart, there is no difference between an official person with knowledge and an esoteric believer. According to some original words that have been circulated in private, it seems that these people are 'intruders' or 'subversives' that need to be guarded against and controlled, just like secret organizations."

Interloper! ?

In the eyes of Master Lückert at the time, this word may have been so naturally worded.

But now this secret conversation with the saint, coupled with Fanning's intentional recollection and unintentional, he always felt that it sounded a bit strange.

Are you an intruder?

Is Vincent, who is suspected to be Fan Chenxun in his previous life, an intruder?

Is Mr. F, who is suspected of being Scriabin in his previous life, an intruder?
