Because he went to bed too late, when Xia De woke up from bed again, it was already nine o'clock in the morning on Saturday. A complete six hours of sleep made Xia De full of energy. In the morning, Xia De only ate until he went to bed.
The cat food prepared by the cat, but the cat that could not drink the goat's milk, was very dissatisfied with the "lazy" Shade.
So much so that when Shade took it to the photo studio to pick up the last photo taken and then to the post office to send it to Miss Gold, the cat ignored Shade.
But when Shade took it into the restaurant, little Mia seemed to have suddenly forgotten her unhappy mood about today's breakfast. When Shade showed up at Dr. Schneider's clinic with it, the cat returned to its usual appearance and stood energetically.
Looking around over Shade's shoulder.
Although they all slept very late last night, Priest Augustus was as energetic as Mia. On the contrary, Dr. Schneider's energy seemed to be bad, and he kept yawning while waiting for the team members to arrive.
While polishing his pipe, Priest August joked that the doctor had a rich night life, but the doctor was not enjoying himself:
"I'm going to attend an academic conference on psychology in a few weeks, so I have to write a speech. In recent years, people have been in great demand for psychiatrists, and the industry is booming. Someone wants to establish an international psychologists' conference.
Professional guilds, it is said that it will be proposed during this meeting."
Dr. Schneider complained about these things that had no interest in him at all, and then asked why Shade didn't get enough rest.
There was nothing that couldn't be said about last night, so before Luvia and Dorothy came, Shade and the priest told them what happened last night.
The doctor had also heard of the organization [Truth Society] and heard a lot about their bold research. Hearing that members of this organization appeared in Tobesk, he seemed particularly worried:
"The Truth Society usually does not act alone. They go out in groups of three to five people to collect materials or conduct experiments. Let's tell the academy about the situation later and remind the correspondence magicians in this city to pay attention to safety.
question."
He yawned again. It looked like he stayed up very late yesterday to write his speech.
When all five people arrived, this week's study meeting was held on time. Shade, who spent most of his time in Coldwater Port this week, had nothing new to share, but the priest took the initiative to mention Coldwater Port.
He received a lot of information from the church, so he was able to describe in more detail what happened there.
Although the events of the summer of 1853 could be talked about for years to the Ringmasters of Coldwater Harbor, to the people of Tobesk it was only news from afar, so the group did not discuss it in too much depth.
.
If the "God Caller" and the "Blood Spirit School" had not been related to them, it is estimated that the priests would not tell this matter to let others comment.
Everyone had something to deal with at the college. Among them, Shade submitted a course paper on "Closed Space" and applied to borrow a paper on enhancing time perception. Later, he received a new time key personally selected by Professor Garcia.
The time keys provided to the investigators by the School of History are not free except for the first one, but the charging standard is very low, which is almost equivalent to giving it away for free. Professor Garcia wrote a long letter to Shade, describing that this key corresponds to the first one.
The key to the Fifth Epoch-2584 is so safe.
In the letter, the professor described in detail the major events that occurred in historical records that year, and speculated on the situation that Shade might encounter. He hoped that Shade could submit the investigation report as soon as possible after conducting the investigation.
Although Shade read the letter carefully, he didn't pay much attention to the professor's investigation. What concerned him was the time corresponding to the key.
In 1784 of the Fifth Age, three children strayed into the "Creator of Innocence" event in Hope Town - 1068. More than seven hundred years have passed. The boy who was pursuing growth has long been reduced to bones, and the boy who longed for fairy tales has also been left intact.
The path of life has been changed, even the witch who hoped for power must have left long ago; and Miss Feliana and Miss Olanode broke into the Forest of Thousand Trees - 3002 incident, and the recent incident
It would take three centuries to happen. When Shade saw the two ladies, they would not be more than forty years old.
Therefore, in 1784 of the Fifth Era, Shade had no acquaintances. Thinking about it this way, I felt a little disappointed.
In addition to Shade, other members of the group also applied for book loans, submitted reports, and inquired about academic credits. When Dr. Schneider told the college about the [Truth Society], the college actually gave him an information fee of 5 pounds.
This was an unexpected surprise, so Shade and the priest Augustus divided the money equally.
And just when Shade wanted to take a look at the bounty offered by the academy, and wanted to take advantage of the half-month's free time before Darkness came to Tobesk to get some practical credits for himself, new news came from the academy.
The librarian, Miss Daniste, the Red Moon Witch, wants to see Shad.
This time, instead of having Shad travel to St. Byrons in the far north through dangerous space movement, he would use a projection ritual to project him into the college library.
"Did Miss Danister find the owner of the core rune of the Yellow Moon? Can we find the Silver Moon Library? Can I find information about demons from the library?"
Shade was surprised at first, and then frightened:
"Or maybe Miss Danist discovered what happened between me and Miss Feliana, and then guessed that I can truly travel through time?"
"Shad, what's your expression? Why do you want to laugh and cry at the same time? Sit down quickly, Miss Danister is already waiting for you."
Dr. Schneider, who put down the college notice, urged that no one else felt anything was wrong this time.
The others left the room first, and Shade put the cat taking a nap on the sofa.
Mix the bone powder into the water basin, stir it clockwise for three weeks, drip in the blood, and soak the parchment in the blood water. After the water basin burned with ice-blue flames, Shade sat on the chair.
The scene in Dr. Schneider's reception room became blurry like oil paint that had been dripped with water. Then the oil paint was put back together again, showing the scene in the college library in front of Shade.
There is a tall dome above the head, and it is extremely quiet in the ears. Candlelight and gas lamps illuminate the surroundings. Bookshelves of various heights surround the circular space in the library. Metal luster and wooden bookshelves coexist in this space.
In front of Shade was Miss Denister sitting on the sofa, and beside her were two students sitting in the East and West for the ceremony.
After Shade appeared, the two politely said goodbye to Miss Denister and left.
"Good afternoon, Miss Denister."
Shade greeted him respectfully. Judging from the expression of the thirteen-ring warlock in robe, she should be in a good mood now.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hamilton."
The red-haired lady waved to Shade, and the teacup slowly flew towards him in the air. It was a cup of black tea, and the temperature of the tea was just right:
"Sorry to bother you again, it's still the same thing as last time."
After the pleasantries, Miss Denister directly talked to Shade about the business:
"I didn't find the owner of the 'Yellow Moon' core spiritual rune, but I found a correspondence magician at Serkeses Higher Medical School who owned the 'Guiding Moon' spiritual rune."
The yellow moon itself has the meaning of "guidance" in occultism, so the "guiding moon" is the "yellow moon" in a sense.
Shade was very surprised:
"The other party is also a correspondence magician? Then he wants to come to St. Byrons to test it?"
"Of course not. The affairs of Silver Moon Library cannot be known to outsiders."
Miss Danister shook her head gracefully, and the quill-shaped earrings on her ears caught Shade's attention.
She said to Shade again:
"So I need your help. I used some small means to get the fourth-level ring warlock to be sent to the Tobesk area by Serkses Higher Medical College. You need to meet him, and then
Collect the light of his core spiritual runes, and then send it to me through the poem manuscript pages for testing. This is a new idea I came up with after seeing you last time. Although it is not enough to open the clues in the book, it can also cause some
reaction.
To collect spirit runes and auras, you must rely on special alchemy items made by me. When needed, I will give it to you individually through your page, but be careful, this is a secret mission, don't let anyone know what you are doing."
"In other words, even the 'Guiding Moon' doesn't know about this?"
Shade confirmed.
"Yes, it's best that the other party never knows."
Miss Denister nodded:
"I won't let you do it in vain. I will give this to you in other names and in the form of a reward from the college. 10 pounds of income, 10 points of practical credits, and the right to choose private elective courses for me in the future. Except
In addition, if we successfully open the Silver Moon Library, I can make you a promise."
"What promise?"
Shade asked curiously.
"There is an unwritten rule in the library of St. Byrons College. It is best for each generation of administrators to be favored by the 'Moon'. This will not only facilitate the successors to use the thaumaturgy knowledge left by the administrators of the past generations, but also facilitate the successors.
If we successfully open the Silver Moon Library"
She tapped the back of the sofa with her slender fingers, and paused deliberately to let Shade hear the next message clearly:
"I will put you on the candidate list for the next administrator. Once you officially enter St. Byrons and are promoted to the high ring, you can be inspected."
"So how many people are there on this list now?"
Shade was not too happy, but continued to ask.
Miss Denister showed a meaningful smile to Shade:
"Mr. Hamilton, to be honest, there is no one so far, and there won't be one in decades. I haven't met a very suitable student yet, do you understand?"
Shade raised his eyebrows, but his face showed no expression:
"You mean yes, I will definitely complete this commission."
If he fails to become a god before officially entering the academy, inheriting the position of librarian as a high-level warlock in St. Byrons will also be very helpful in continuing to search for divinity.
"Don't worry, just finish it within two months. The other party hasn't arrived in Tobesk yet. After all, 'Guiding Moon' is a student of Serkeses, so it's not easy to dispatch him calmly. This time I just informed this person
I will give you specific information when the other party arrives in your city. Mr. Hamilton, this commission is very important to you and to me."
She hesitated and then said in a very low voice:
"As long as you don't reveal your identity and don't reveal anything about the Silver Moon Library, you can use any method. Yes, any method to collect the light of the spiritual runes. I won't mind if you use informal means."
Shade looked at her in surprise, but Miss Danister was holding the tea cup again, showing an expression as if she didn't say anything.
He nodded slowly:
"I understand it all, Miss Daniste, it's all for the moon."
