Shade didn't leave the doctor's office until two o'clock in the morning on Wednesday. He didn't sleep for a few hours after returning home. He yawned and got up to have breakfast. Seeing the glowing pages of the manuscript, he confirmed that Miss Danister was available at this time.
, then arranged the ceremony and waited for the news. At half past seven, the projection went to St. Byrons.
"Good morning, Shade, what do you want from me?"
It's still the familiar college library, it's still early, but Miss Denister looks very energetic. Now that the new semester has begun, even the official students of St. Byrons still have long holidays like "winter break", they are already in Star
The first month of the rare month ends.
There were many people in the library at 7:30 in the morning. Looking around, you could see figures walking among the dense bookshelves. On the coffee table between Miss Denister and Shade, there were cakes.
And black tea. This is the sorceress's breakfast. Being able to have breakfast in the library is probably her privilege.
At this time, there was a young girl standing next to the coffee table wearing a maid dress, a white lace headband on her head, and black leather shoes on her feet. When she saw the man in the projection looking at her, the young girl blushed and hugged her.
The dinner plate escaped.
"There are still maids in the academy?"
Shade asked curiously. The girl just now seemed to be a pure human.
"The college has hired a group of maids, but that one is not the one. That one is a maid I recruited from among the students when I released the college mission. Young girls always look beautiful in these clothes."
Miss Danister was holding the black tea elegantly. When Shade looked at her, she explained to him:
"Xia De, don't look at me like that. The treatment I give you is very good. Not only is the salary very high, but you are also allowed to browse some of my private collections after you finish working. This is something that no one else can get even if they want to.
opportunity."
This is probably also the prerogative of the librarian. In the entire St. Byrons Comprehensive College, except for the principal Mr. Pigman, no one has the right to accuse her.
"Don't think that I am the kind of person who exploits students because of my privileges. Then answer me honestly, if you were sitting in my position, would you use your privileges to recruit students to help you do something?"
Shade answered honestly:
"Won't."
"Um?"
"Because I have a maid, or a girl with a maid profession who is willing to help me."
The sorceress laughed:
"Let's get down to business. You came to me specifically, and it shouldn't be a trivial matter asking if there are any low-priced star grass for sale in the college."
She threw the black tea cup aside. The tea cup slid smoothly in the air, and the black tea liquid surface rippled.
"I have forgotten it recently and will not make up any excuses. In fact, it is because of some reasons. I investigated and found out that the establishment of St. Byrons is related to the old god [Curtain of Eternal Night], so I want to learn more information from you.
"
As the person who is most familiar with Shad in St. Byrons Comprehensive College, Miss Denister naturally knows that Shad has many weird things. When she saw him saying this, she couldn't help but sigh:
"You are really straightforward, but I will not pursue your secret. Yes, the old god is indeed related to the establishment of the college. Speaking of which, it seems that you have been very interested in the history of the establishment of the college since you entered the school.
Last autumn, he asked me about the relationship between the old god [Grey Robe Sage] and the college library."
She waved behind her, and soon, a huge book thicker than little Mia floated over. The book had no name, and Miss Danist let it float in the air and turned the pages automatically:
"That was in the Fifth Age. Compared with the current history, which records the relationship between the library and the old god [Grey Robe Sage] in detail, the records of the relationship between the academy and the god of night are quite vague and vague.
It’s not clear, as if someone deliberately deleted some of the content. However, most of the school history’s descriptions of the early days of the school’s founding are like this, so it’s not surprising.”
She turned to the corresponding page number:
"According to records, the second principal of the college, Miss Fiona Drago, who was still an apprentice at the time, found the temporary residence of the God of Night in the extreme northern snowfield at night, which was not actually located in
A city in the material world. She asked the gods for the blessing of the night to bless the great college that was to be built on the ice sheet. Therefore, whenever night falls, St. Byrons Comprehensive College will receive the blessing of the night.
He helped the ancestors of the college go through many difficult moments."
After she finished reading, she returned the book to its original place.
"That's all?"
Shade asked.
"Yes, these are the only exact records. But there is no problem with the content. The blessing of the God of Night is still in effect today. Although you visited St. Byrons at night, you probably didn't notice it.
, the night in St. Byrons is extremely peaceful and quiet, and there is no completely dark corner. When the night covers this academic city, the probability of dark creatures appearing is reduced, all malicious creatures are suppressed, and three special blessing effects are obtained every week
——For example, this week it’s ‘Moonlight Power Increase’, ‘Flesh Creatures Healing Speed Enhancement’ and ‘Small Luck Improvement’.”
She added with a smile:
"But everyone's luck has improved, so we can't expect to win more by gambling in the tavern. Oh, and also, the Ring Warlock, who has the highest management authority in the academy, has been greatly strengthened in the academy of darkness. You
It can be considered that in the dark academy, no mortal can beat the principal and me."
The "highest management authority of the college" refers to the official principal and the official library administrator. These are the two highest seats that have always existed since Miss Feliana established St. Byrones, and the two are theoretically at the same level.
relation.
Seeing Shade frowning and thinking, Miss Daniste didn't bother him.
After a while, Xia De asked:
"These are all historical materials that actually exist, so are there any legends that are not so accurate?"
"Of course, according to the research of the time investigators of the History Institute, before the establishment of the Fifth Epoch Academy, the land under my feet was the kingdom of the dark night, where the dependents of the night god lived. Later, the god voluntarily transferred his
A small tract of territory was given to Miss Feliana, allowing St. Byron's to be established."
"Since it was verified by time investigators, why do you say it is a legend?"
Shade asked curiously.
"Because we later discovered that the five-ring warlock went crazy before the three time investigations, so we are not sure whether what he said is true or false. Time keys around the time when St. Byrons was founded are very rare, and most of them are not
It points to the establishment of the academy itself, so it is very difficult to rely on time investigators to learn the truth before the era."
If the statement that "the location of St. Byrons Comprehensive College was once part of the territory of the God of Night" is correct, then the purpose of Miss Feliana sending Fiona to the "City of Eternal Night" to meet the God is
It's very possible that this is what happened.
"But the mission location is the Northern Continent, and according to my investigation, the Central Continent in the Fifth Era is the main body of the Old Continent now, and the current location of St. Byrons is the large ice sheet in the far north. In the Fifth Era, there are five
continent, and countless archipelagos, and in this day and age"
This can be regarded as a small gain. Even when she met the gods after four missions, Fiona still didn't remember what she was going to do. At least Shade already knew what she should do.
"The relationship between the old god of night [The Veil of Eternal Night] and Saint Byrons is very little recorded in the book. I will ask students to sort out the information later and send it to you tonight or tomorrow morning. You can go there yourself.
Let’s distinguish between true and false.”
Miss Denister said and asked Shade again:
"It's been a month since you told me at the beginning of the year that you were promoted to the fifth ring. How many five-ring spiritual runes do you have now? Three? Or four?"
"No, no, it's not that easy. There's still only one, the Whispering Puppet."
The life ring slowly emerged behind him, and Miss Daniste was a little disappointed:
"I thought you had been promoted to the sixth ring."
"Are you expecting too much from me? I've been busy with other things recently. However, if you only pursue speed and not the quality of learning, there is actually no way to get promoted quickly."
For example, when visiting the ruins of the old gods or even the ancient gods, it is not difficult for Shade, who is highly sensitive to the soul, to obtain the "miracle" or "blasphemous" spiritual runes. But the problem is that sometimes it is not possible to walk too fast.
Good thing.
"Now that we're talking about quality, have you learned any new magic tricks recently?"
Miss Denister asked again:
"I checked your recent applications and just found some information. For you correspondence students, the new semester has already started for so long. Shade, don't tell me that you have nothing during this time.
Do."
In a daze, the stranger had the illusion of being questioned by his mentor in his hometown. But Miss Denister was right. Since the rest period he gave himself at the beginning of the year ended, he has been running around in the Randall Valley.
For my own studies, I just go home and read at night. This is not a good learning attitude:
"I understand, I will work harder. Recently, I am actually imagining a new moonlight attack thaumaturgy. Sorry, can I show you my thaumaturgy?"
After obtaining permission, Shade used [Confinement Halo]. This was a thaumaturgy acquired before the Battle of Pantanal, and it was not very recognizable, so there was no need to worry about being recognized.
Then a halo flew out from Shade's wrist and flew towards the lady sitting opposite him. Miss Daniste did not stop her and allowed the halo to wrap around her neck:
"The confinement effect? It looks great."
With a casual tug, the halo turned into light flakes and disappeared.
"Yes, and it has the function of automatic tracking. I want to use this thaumaturgy as a basis to explore other attack methods of moonlight thaumaturgy."
"The idea is great, you have to work harder."
The sorceress encouraged, which made Shade feel more and more that he had neglected his studies recently:
"Then I will try to advance to the sixth ring before spring comes."
"You don't have to be so fast. Promotion to the middle ring is not as easy as that of the low ring. Besides, spring will come in more than a month. But it is good for young people to be enterprising. As your teacher, although you rarely take the initiative to ask me for advice
, but I still have to teach you something. Forget about being promoted to the sixth ring before spring comes. Before spring comes, learn this thaumaturgy. This is the test I give you in the first half of the spring semester in the 1854 school year.
"
The parchment roll that had been placed on the coffee table flew towards Shade, and then automatically unfolded it in front of Shade, showing him the text inside.
