The joy of defeating the Balrog and obtaining the Demon Hunter's sword brought a successful conclusion to the first week of the Moon of Dead Leaves. But on the second day, Monday, Shade had to face the situation in his own hands again.
troublesome thing.
The doctor came very early, and Shade asked him to go directly to the dark door in the basement. Before breakfast, Shade asked the librarian, Miss "Red Moon Witch" Danister, through the poem manuscript pages in his hand.
He sent a letter explaining that he obtained the [Yellow Moon] Spirit Rune.
The reply happened to be sent back after Shade had breakfast, so after simple preparations, Shade went through the four-chair undead ritual and projected it again from Saint Teresa Square to the college library in the far north.
middle.
When Shade appeared, the two St. Byrons students who were assisting in the ceremony left immediately. Shade turned to look at their backs, and one of them actually had a small bat pattern floating above his head, which meant that he was also a vampire.
"The college actually recruits vampires as students?"
He curiously asked the thirteen-ring sorceress sitting on the couch. The two of them were now located in the open space in the middle of the quiet and empty library. The bookshelves around them were scattered high and low, extending to a place where Shade could not see, and the drawings above their heads
There are star charts and a metal spherical astrologer hanging.
The astrologer, which Shade couldn't understand at all, was spinning slowly, leaving traces of light on the ceiling.
Probably because it was still early, there were not many footsteps in the library. Even the diligent ring wizards probably would not go to the college library to study after seven o'clock in the morning.
"Yes, there is a clan of vampires living in St. Byrons."
The red-haired sorceress is still the same. There is a stack of unevenly stacked books on the coffee table in front of her. Judging from the style, they all seem to be the textbook "Basic Potions" that Shade has received.
"I'm glad that you took the initiative to contact me about the Silver Moon Library, Mr. Hamilton. I have read your letter. You said that you obtained the Yellow Moon Spirit Rune?"
"Yes."
With that said, Shade, who was in the projection state, summoned the life ring behind him.
"Oh, three rings? And three rings already have two spiritual runes?"
Miss Danister asked in surprise, but she didn't say much after thinking about it:
"In this case, you can consider advancing to the third grade after the exam at the end of the year. The progress is really fast."
You can still use thaumaturgy in the projection state, as the professors who came to Shade's house demonstrated this. Therefore, after confirming that it was indeed the Huang Yueling rune, Miss Danister once again took out the book that could help her
Find the black-shell book in "Silver Moon Library".
Lying this book on his lap, the core spiritual rune "Red Moon" in the center of the thirteen-ring warlock's life ring casts spiritual light, while on the life ring behind Shade, the core spiritual rune "Silver Moon" and the three-ring spiritual rune
"Yellow Moon" also casts spiritual light together.
On the originally blank page, blurry traces gradually appeared as the aura of brass and gold illuminated it. But just like last time, the contents of the book were still not fully revealed.
"It seems that simple spiritual runes are not enough. Core spiritual runes are still needed."
The librarian lady shook her head with regret:
"The traces are indeed clearer now than last time, but they are still unrecognizable."
"Speaking of which, when will the Guiding Moon of Sirkeses arrive in Tobesk?"
Shade couldn't help but ask.
"Soon, at the end of this month or at the beginning of next month, I will trouble you to collect traces of his aura."
Miss Danister closed the black-shell book, then raised her head to look at the life ring behind Shade, which was gradually disappearing in the steam mist:
"Silver Moon and Yellow Moon are really interesting. If you can obtain the [Red Moon] Spirit Rune again, you will be eligible to learn the Thirteenth Ring that evolved from the spell of the witch of the Fifth Age.
It’s ring magic.”
"What thaumaturgy?"
"[Forgiveness of the Moon Goddess]. It requires the spiritual rune of March, and it can only be [Yellow Moon], [Red Moon] and [Silver Moon]. Similar concepts are not acceptable, and at least one moon in March is the core
Spirit Rune. This is the thirteen-ring thaumaturgy that belongs exclusively to St. Byrons. It was left by the first librarian of the college. It is said that the prototype is a power from the Fourth Age or earlier."
"The first administrator."
The image of Miss Olanode suddenly jumped into Shade's mind, and hugging her in the past time seemed to have happened yesterday. Yesterday was Sunday, so it really happened yesterday morning.
In order to stop himself from thinking wildly, Shade hurriedly ended the topic:
"Oh, is there any progress in investigating the appearance of Miss Myrna Feliana in Tobesk? Everyone in our group is very curious."
"The ring warlocks all over the world will be curious, but unfortunately there are no traces left locally. The most valuable clues at present are actually the memories of the witnesses at the time."
Speaking of this matter, Miss Denister also had a headache:
"Recently, I have been checking the materials from the previous era in the library, hoping to find some clues. But Mr. Hamilton, this library is filled with old parchment rolls, which are probably enough to pave the way from here to your home. Library
Administrators all have this 'good habit'. No matter what kind of documents they are, as long as they enter the library, they will not be thrown away even if they have no value."
"That's right. This reminds me of the fallen old god, the guardian of the library [Grey-robed Sage]."
Shade pretended to be casual and said;
"I remember that this god's magic seems to be related to the library."
"Yes, and the magic of the old gods is now called incantation. Don't get it wrong."
Miss Denister said very strictly, she also knew what Shade meant:
"But there are not many remaining statues and powerful items of this god. It is not easy to learn the spells corresponding to this god. Speaking of which, this great man also helped St. Byrons in the academy library.
When the library was first built, his followers followed the oracle and completed the initial structure of the library. Now I can wave my hand and take out the right book from any bookshelf. The power of this library and the position of administrator has given me
It’s about power, and this power comes from the underlying ritual structure of the library.”
"The founders of the college are familiar with the great man's order?"
"I don't know about this, but it is said that it is because the first generation of administrators once completed the task of the great [Grey Robe Sage]. This is recorded in Zarath's documents."
It seems that the mission that Shade is experiencing in the fifth era of 3024 directly determines the appearance of the library he is currently in. The past and the present are connected in series again. When the [Father of the Infinite Tree] has gone away
Times, Shade will continue to use his power to connect the orderly but incoherent time.
【The Father of the Infinite Tree is with you.】
"She" whispered in Shade's ear with admiration.
In the quiet library, Shade narrowed his eyes, while Miss Daniste picked up the tea cup and wondered what she was thinking. There was no wind here, only the right light of unknown origin, illuminating every inch of the floor engraved with runes.
And every old bookshelf filled with books.
Inspired, Shade suddenly thought that perhaps in the previous era thousands of years ago, Miss Feliana, Miss Olanode and the girl with the red dragon tail, Fiona, had also stood here.
Recalling Sha De here is like how Sha De recalls them now.
Same space, different time. Xia De even wanted to reach out and touch the air in front of him at this moment, because the deceased people really existed here.
"Maybe they were at the other end of time, imagining that I would appear here a thousand years later, sitting on the sofa and looking back at their position."
Shade thought to himself.
[Time and space intersect here.]
"so what?"
【So, let’s continue the stories that have already happened.】
