Chapter 1030 Preparation for the end of the semester
"Actually, I have always wanted to find an item in the college library."
Shade hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
The sorceress smiled:
"Then tell me, what do you need?"
"A stone slab, about this big."
Shade gestured with his hand:
"And there are yellow corners on the four corners. I'm not sure if it's brass, gold, topaz, or other materials."
The first two are silver and ruby respectively, and the third one has no reason to be blue or black.
"To be honest, this stone slab is related to time. I need to rely on this special item to complete an advanced level of thaumaturgy. The information I have found so far shows that the stone slab is most likely in St. Byrons.
"
Shade told the truth, and Miss Daniste thought about it for a while:
"I can search the library's asset manuals and files. If I really can't find it, I can try to go to the [Hall of Secret Keepers] to find the records."
"Hall of the Secret Keepers?"
Shade raised his eyebrows, and the thirteen-ring sorceress asked with a smile:
"Did I mention this? Well, this is a special space similar to the [Silver Moon Library]. The three major colleges can all use part of its power. Because of its characteristics of inheriting knowledge and storing memories, previous libraries
The administrator may have left the information inside."
Shade nodded, guessing in his mind that the special space corresponding to the ancient god [Secret Keeper Tutor] was the [Secret Keeper Hall].
The entrance to [Dark Dungeon] is controlled by the Church of Dawn. It is not surprising that the three major colleges can use other spaces:
"Thank you then, Miss Denister."
The sorceress shook her head:
"It's just a small thing. Someone will pick up the mirror tomorrow. About next Wednesday or so, I will be able to get it and test it. I will see you again then."
"Okay, I'm available anytime."
If it's Wednesday, the devil's matter should have been solved.
"Then let's pray that Lykins Priscia's inspiration will actually work."
The sorceress said lazily:
"Otherwise, I don't know where to go to find a ring warlock who might meet the requirements."
Two things made progress overnight, which put Shade in a good mood.
Because Miss Danister said that someone would be coming on Saturday morning, he got up very early to wait for the pick-up person to come to the door. The knock on the door rang at seven o'clock in the morning, and he sat in the dining room and watched Dorothy do it.
Shade, who was eating, stood up almost immediately. After opening the door downstairs, standing outside the door was an elegant middle-aged man wearing a black cotton felt hat, round-rimmed glasses, and a golden beard.
The carriage parked behind him was not a standard four-wheeled taxi. The carriage and shaft were very dark in color, and the driver sitting high up looked like he came from the Far North.
The elegant middle-aged man took off his black velvet gloves and shook hands with Shade, looking at him curiously:
"Mr. Shade Hamilton?"
The Delarian language is not very standard, with an accent from the northern ice sheet region.
"Yes."
Shade also stretched out his hand, and then learned that it was a 9th-level warlock.
"I am Associate Professor Lyon, majoring in library management at the college."
He stood at the door of Sha De's house and said, and then saw Sha De's surprised expression:
"Don't be so surprised. Miss Denister said that I had something important to pick up."
"Oh, I just didn't expect Miss Denister to send yes, right here."
Shade immediately gave way to the door and pointed to the large box placed on one side:
"Did Miss Denister mention that this is dangerous goods and needs to be transported with caution?"
"Yes, our librarian is cautious."
Associate Professor Lyon smiled and nodded. Shade never thought that one day he would discuss such a thing at home.
The middle-aged associate professor asked the coachman to help, and the three of them carried the box to the carriage. He also gave Shade a receipt with the school's seal and his own signature to prove that the items had been handed over. This was also his private contact.
Credentials for Correspondence Ring Master.
Of course, the name of the item on the receipt is "The carcass of an ancient mutated unknown species of cannibal rabbit (a class of dangerous goods)".
"I almost forgot, there is this."
As he spoke, Associate Professor Lyon handed Shade another piece of parchment. This was the college’s reward order, issued by Associate Professor Lyon, and the content was to acquire “the carcass of an ancient mutant unknown species of cannibal rabbit (a class of dangerous goods).” The reward was announced.
The date was Monday last week, and the reward was two practical credits. There were no other physical rewards, but the seals and signatures were complete.
"Congratulations, Mr. Hamilton, you have completed my reward outstandingly."
The professor smiled and patted Shade on the shoulder, took back the parchment he had just given, and then winked at him:
"You see, when acting, you have to do a complete set. This time there will be absolutely no omissions."
"It's really rigorous."
Shade nodded and invited politely:
"Would you like to go upstairs and have a cup of hot tea? The temperature is really low today."
"Forget it about tea, I still need to escort this person to the next stop as soon as possible. Miss Danister is in a hurry."
Associate Professor Lyon waved goodbye to Shade:
"It stands to reason that professors like us who are on business trips cannot have contact with local correspondence students at will. This time it is because of the reward order, so it is an exception."
After boarding the carriage, he handed Shade three strawberries in a paper bag:
"It's a gift for meeting people. I rarely interact with correspondence students, but I have to admit it."
Before the carriage drove away, he looked up at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square:
"Students today are really rich."
The college professor waved goodbye to Shade and left No. 6 Saint Teresa Square in a hurry.
"Where did the strawberries come from?"
When Shade returned to the second floor, Dorothy had already brought breakfast to the table. The cat, who looked particularly soft in winter, was lying next to the plate, pressing its little paws under its body, staring at the food.
"It was given by the professor just now."
Dorothy didn't ask why a college professor appeared downstairs so early in the morning. She took the strawberries and looked at them:
"It seems that the professor is well versed in the power of nature and plants. This is a strawberry that has been processed by the high-circle thaumaturgy [Natural Fruit].
After each one is eaten, it can provide a small amount of healing effect and directly replenish one-third of the spirit of a low-level warlock or one-fifth of the spirit of a medium-level warlock. However, the effect will be seriously reduced if used continuously, and it will be combined with your [
Just like filling food, it cannot be stored for a long time."
Dorothy checked it out:
"This can be stored for about 8 hours."
Today is Saturday, and the only thing I have to do is go to the doctor for a meeting in the afternoon. There is no possibility of a fierce battle that requires spiritual replenishment, so Shade gave three strawberries to Dorothy and little Mia respectively.
The fruit is quite sweet. Being able to eat fresh strawberries in winter makes even a foreigner feel that today will be a lucky day.
Spells and thaumaturgy that use fruits to obtain strange powers are actually very common. The ring sorcerers of the Church of Nature are quite proficient in this kind of power, and the ring sorcerers of the Pantanal Voodoo Society are probably also very proficient. Most of them do not belong to
Basic abilities and prerequisites for learning.
For example, the thaumaturgy "Magic Berry Art" mastered by Dorothy not only requires the [Fruit] spirit rune, but also requires the mastery of the spell "Food Preservation". And "Food Preservation" is a medicine like Priest Augustus.
It is a spell that all masters must learn, so the ring magician system is quite magical, and Shade's understanding of it is just the tip of the iceberg.
After breakfast, Dorothy accompanied Shade to the photo studio and took the photos they took here a few days ago, so that Shade could put the photo of him holding Mia in an envelope and send it.
To Miss Gold.
Dorothy looked at the photos of her and Shade happily, while Shade checked the single photos. These photos were divided into three parts, one for Shade, Lesia and Dorothy. Shade would take his
The single photo is hung in the living room and bedroom, and the photo with Dorothy is placed in the study.
Thinking about it this way, No. 6, Saint Teresa Square, feels more and more like home.
The afternoon was the study meeting for this Saturday. Priest August and Luvia were not able to attend because they had something to do. Priest August was called by Bishop Owen to help, while Luvia was called to join the Prophets Association.
Shade learned about the divination training when he went to tell her about Sir Prisha at noon.
Even Dorothy was not there with Shade. On Saturday morning she went to her apartment to check the mail and found a letter from the Daily Steambird, asking to discuss the reprint of the first volume of "Hamilton's Detective Stories."
Therefore, the doctor was not very surprised that there were only two people in the doctor's clinic that afternoon: Shade and Dr. Schneider:
"At the end of the year, everyone has a lot of things to do. It's only the eighth day of the Sleeping Moon, and we won't really get busy until half a month later."
Even so, at least the current doctor seems to have a lot of time. Since no one else is here today, he talked to Shade about the progress of the demon.
"Probably tomorrow."
The doctor said in a relaxed tone:
"He failed to leave Tobesk range."
"no problem."
Shade nodded and asked again:
"Doctor, how are you preparing for your end-of-year exam? Although the devil is important, the exam should be more important."
"Except for "Aether Mechanics," everything else should be fine, but I still have one final paper to hand in."
The doctor shrugged. He had stayed at the Fifth Ring Road for more than two years and had actually completed most of his fifth-grade courses.
I chatted with the doctor about the scholarship evaluation after the end-of-year exams, and asked for a catalog of thaumaturgy and conjuration from the college. Shade, who had not purchased new thaumaturgy and conjuration for a long time, spent a total of 69 pounds on his selection.
The spells "Flash Mark" and "Featherfall Curse".
The former can release a long-lasting mark on the surface of an object that can only be seen by itself and ring warlocks 5 levels higher, to mark its own items. The casting material is any dust; the latter's casting material is feathers, which can make
When you fall, your body bears more air resistance like a feather, thereby reducing falling damage.
The conditions for advancing to a grade include the number of spells and thaumaturgy one masters. Shade, who plans to skip a grade, therefore needs the ability of two grades. His number of thaumaturgy barely meets the standard, and the number of thaumaturgy actually barely meets the standard. But those
He really didn't want to say the spells from the "Pink Book", so he just found some basic spells to fill the quantity.
After all, the "Living Rope Trick, Partial Hardening, Status Transformation Spell: Pain and Pleasure, Summoning Burning Lamp, Hair Loss Spell, Lust Mark, Suffocating Gaze" may not seem like much, but appearing together on a ring warlock would be quite disturbing.
suspicious.
Shade was promoted too quickly and did not have time to learn and delve into too many thaumaturgy spells. He planned to wait until he was promoted to the middle ring and then learn a few useful thaumaturgy spells. But in this way, he now has tens of thousands of pounds in savings.
Probably not enough.
Although only two people attended the study meeting that afternoon, it lasted until half past four. After bidding farewell to Dr. Schneider, Shade took the cat to the "Steambird Daily" newspaper office to look for Dorothy, but met him at the newspaper office.
The loyal readers of Ms. Writer arrived. In order to answer questions from those enthusiastic readers, they stayed in the newspaper office for more than an hour.
During this period, the cat kept by the newspaper office to guard the warehouse and prevent the documents from being bitten by rats suddenly scurried towards Shade, which aroused strong resistance from little Mia. The two cats ran around in the editorial office and almost brought a "disaster" here. However,
Mr. Carl Vinson, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper who was laughing loudly, didn't care about this. Instead, he praised Shade's cat for looking very energetic.
The happy Saturday is coming to an end, which also means that a new key to time will be opened tomorrow morning. After the adventure with the eight witches in the Fifth Era 5177, Shade is looking forward to what kind of story he will encounter next.
