Chapter 204: Heading to the College

"Wait, selling a 【Relic】 to ordinary people in this way, the possibility of being found by the church is indeed low, but isn't the risk too big?"

Miss Louisa put down the teacup in her hand and asked the question in Xia De's heart.

The Doctor explained:

"The 【Fake Philosopher's Stone】 has special properties, and its danger lies in active contact, so theoretically speaking, being kept by ordinary people who don't know the truth is the safest. After all, this is not a real Philosopher's Stone and does not have strange effects such as absorbing matter to strengthen itself or letting animals possess higher wisdom... Back to the topic, I found the locations of those five statues, but the bad news is that the owners of the five statues are all very troublesome."

He sighed:

"Two are Dukes, one is the royal steward, one is the Police Chief of Ridgewich Yard, and the last one is not an aristocrat, but he gave the statue to Prince Mogus Cavendish. Although these are all ordinary people, wanting to sneak into their side is no less difficult than confronting a Ringed Shushi head-on."

This was indeed troublesome, and others couldn't help. Even if Xia De knew Miss Galina, he couldn't get all five statues, but he and Miss Louisa both promised to help the Doctor think of a way.

The Doctor probably thought the two were comforting him, so he didn't take it to heart. The middle-aged Doctor now felt almost like he was at the end of a long-distance race, only to find a mountain blocking the finish line.

His luck was indeed very bad.

Besides the above matters, the five people also shared their learning experiences for the week. Priest Augustus had been researching the divine arts of the Dawn Society recently. Although he was not a Ringed Shushi of the church, learning divine arts only required faith, so the Priest should theoretically be able to learn them.

Miss Annet had been very busy recently, so there was no progress in learning. Doctor Schneider continued to complain about his *Ether Mechanics*, Miss Louisa shared the Curse 【Bubble Head Curse】 and claimed that she learned it from reading books, while Xia De shared that he had obtained two Spirit Runes.

He tried to say this as plainly as possible, although when he said it, even he felt it was incredible.

"What? You obtained two Spirit Runes in a week?"

This news surprised the three people except Miss Louisa, and the most surprised was Miss Annet, who knew Xia De had been busy running around all week:

"Oh, Xia De, where on earth did you get the time to engrave Spirit Runes."

The female fortune-teller couldn't figure it out no matter what.

"Not a week, to be precise, it was two weeks. The rune related to the Match Girl was obtained by Xia De last Saturday night with my help."

Miss Louisa helped explain.

Xia De wanted to nod, but heard the old Priest who was wiping his pipe with a wet cloth suddenly ask:

"Speaking of which, Louisa, when did you start calling Xia De by his name directly?"

"Luvia is the same, and I intend to teach Xia De to improve in the Enlightenment Element in the future. From the acquisition of this rune, Xia De is very talented in the Enlightenment Element."

Miss Louisa took the opportunity to say this. Miss Annet leaned on the back of the sofa and made a "tsk" sound, then looked at Xia De with a smile:

"Fate lines are intertwined."

This was probably some kind of metaphor, but unfortunately Xia De didn't understand it. And Miss Louisa, who understood, flushed red:

"This metaphor is really excessive."

"What does it mean?"

Xia De tilted his head and asked the Doctor, and then Doctor Schneider was "warned" by the writer with a fierce look.

The Doctor and the Priest both showed smiles:

"I don't know either."

Xia De nodded knowingly. That way he understood; this was a metaphor about love.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, just as everyone was discussing more uses for the 【Fake Philosopher's Stone】, the paper page of the manuscript on the coffee table suddenly lit up. Then a short message came. Xia De's application to view the *Canon of Sublimation* was approved, and the librarian, Miss Danister, wanted to see Xia De, and the signature of the message was still the Student Management Office.

"Miss Danister?"

The Doctor looked suspiciously at those letters:

"How could it be this lady?"

He wanted to look up and ask Xia De some questions, but Xia De pointed to the manuscript paper page, and another short message appeared. Priest Augustus read it out:

"In view of the special circumstances, this meeting will not use a ritual. First-Ring Shushi Mr. Xia De Su Lun Hamilton is required to go to Saint Byrons to meet Miss Danister in person."

"Hmm?"

"What?"

"Go to Saint Byrons?"

"What's going on today?"

Even Xia De, who knew about this in advance, was very surprised. He thought it was a ritual projection to the college, but more importantly, there was another thing:

"If I go to take the train now, can I reach the college in two months? Oh, who can help me take care of Mia?"

"Don't talk nonsense, the college must have a way."

Miss Louisa said. The excited Doctor still wanted to say something, but was immediately stopped by Priest Augustus raising his hand, because more content appeared on the paper page:

【In view of Mr. Hamilton possessing the 【Space-Time】 core rune, this spatial transfer will be conducted through the Angel-level (Level 1) Relic 【Broken Old World Map】 stored in the college. Please Mr. Schneider, Miss Annet, Miss Louisa, and Mr. Augustus keep the secret of this Relic. Please Mr. Hamilton maintain a standing posture, stay away from the manuscript paper page, and do not carry any Relics (alchemical items are fine), and hold the positioning item (to be delivered in 30 seconds).】

"Angel-level?"

Priest Augustus glanced at Xia De, and then stood with the other four by the wall of the room immediately.

"What are you doing?"

Xia De looked at their agile movements, not knowing what it meant.

"Spatial movement using a Relic is likely to affect the surroundings."

Miss Annet explained, frowning and wondering what she was thinking.

"Xia De, remember to tell us what Saint Byrons is like after you come back."

The Doctor said to Xia De, his emotions still very excited; he was the one among the five who was most looking forward to going to the college.

"Hold your breath for a while; during the spatial transfer process, absolutely do not inhale deeply!"

The old Priest kindly exhorted, but this sentence seemed to indicate that he had experienced similar things.

"Oh, among us, Xia De was actually the first to go to the college!"

Miss Louisa looked at the manuscript paper page excitedly.

White light flashed again, and a small box was transmitted over.

Xia De immediately got up and opened it, then saw a round crystal the size of a goose egg lying inside, looking very familiar:

"The positioning item is white stone crystal?"

Unlike the one Xia De obtained, the surface of this one was engraved with dense text. Just a hurried glance, Xia De saw at least 3 different languages, and after a hurried deciphering, he found that it was actually a detailed description of the location of Saint Byrons Comprehensive College. ===== CHAPTER 205 =====
