Chapter 205: Red Moon Mage Danister

Although the college address was on the crystal in his hand, Xia De didn't have time to look at it twice before all the text on the paper page was cleared, and a big number "3" appeared.

The four people by the wall held their breath, but were very excited:

"Xia De, get ready!"

Doctor Schneider reminded loudly.

The number "2" appeared.

Xia De hurriedly took out his house key and threw it toward the wall along with the paper page in front of him and a pile of messy things in his pocket.

The number "1" appeared.

"If I come back late, remember to help me feed the cat."

He shouted loudly, and then the crystal in his hand exploded like a bomb, erupting with astonishing white light. The room with doors and windows closed suddenly had a violent wind in this light. The Doctor and the others closed their eyes subconsciously. A few seconds later, the light and the violent wind disappeared together, and Xia De, who was originally standing there, was also gone.

The papers rolled up by the wind fell like snowflakes in the air. Along with Xia De, one-fifth of the coffee table in front of him and half of the sofa behind him also disappeared, both of which were cut precisely, with extremely neat cross-sections.

"Oh~"

The Doctor sighed, sizing up the room that looked like it had been attacked by a storm, and muttered softly:

"This movement... is much smaller than I thought."

(Little Mia is running...)

As if being forcibly pressed into a ball by an external force, and then rolling rapidly in a narrow pipe. Afterward, it was like being stuffed into a gun muzzle, and then pushed forward fiercely by a huge force.

Fantastic illusions appeared before his eyes one by one. Strange hallucinations made Xia De unable to distinguish between true and false. He saw black octopus giant beasts dancing tentacles under the dim yellow sky, the sun falling in the doomsday scene, black giant hands falling from the sky to destroy the material world, Miss Louisa and Miss Beiyasi hugging and kissing, and other strange pictures.

"Miss Louisa doesn't know Miss Beiyasi at all. What am I thinking?"

The chaotic head had a feeling that it was about to explode because it accepted too much information at once. But soon, the feeling of stepping on solid ground came from under his feet again. Xia De just felt his body sway, and then saw the picture in front of him fix, and the spatial jump ended.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, suppressing the feeling of wanting to vomit caused by the dizziness. At the same time, the airflow entering the nasal cavity formed a new sense of smell. The air was dry and slightly cold, permeated with the unique smell of paper pages and ink.

Xia De liked this smell very much.

Opening his eyes, what was in front of him was undoubtedly a large library, and under his feet was actually a solid wood floor. He stood in the open space between the bookshelves, and the high and low wooden bookshelves extended toward the far distance. They were high and low, not arranged neatly, but had a strange sense of order for no reason.

The bookshelf closest to Xia De had a brass-colored nameplate of "History (Fifth Era 1~100 years)," and books were stuffed into the bookshelf, with various eras of text marked on the book spines to indicate the book information. In an era where knowledge is wealth, the library in front of him, just the part that could be seen, was enough to buy the entire Tobesk.

Looking up at the ceiling, the arc-shaped ceiling that was high in the middle and low around it seemed to be four stories high. Xia De stood directly under the ceiling at the highest point, which should be the center of the library. And the sound of footsteps walking around showed that this place was being used. Perhaps just one or two bookshelves away stood a true student Ringed Shushi of Saint Byrons.

The temperature in the library was lower than Tobesk, which was in midsummer. Taking a deep breath again, letting the cold air flow into his lungs, made his spirit fully recover to normal.

The open space between the bookshelves where he was located was circular overall. At a position not far from Xia De, three middle-aged men wearing blue robes with the Saint Byrons school badge on their chests were busily rolling up a huge brown parchment scroll placed on a tripod.

A hurried glance, and Xia De saw the coastline shape outlined on the paper scroll with ink that had faded severely. Only, the part of the coastline he saw seemed to be different from any place he knew, and it was not the shape of the New World's coastline either...

"Mr. Hamilton, please follow me, Miss Danister is waiting for you."

Two men wearing brown leather gloves continued to "wrestle" with the huge paper scroll that kept squirming and wanting to unfold, while the woman among them spoke to Xia De in very proficient Delarion. She was tall and looked to be in her forties. Only the corners of her eyes were slightly raised, giving people a feeling of being very fierce.

Xia De nodded while sizing up the surroundings, wanting to print everything he saw into his mind. The woman's voice in his ears had already told him that this space almost had traces of the four elements everywhere. Here, it was truly Saint Byrons, and that Miracle College hidden in the far north truly existed.

Afterward, he followed the woman, walking along the narrow aisle in the bookshelves toward where he didn't know was inside or outside. Seeing Xia De finally take one last look at that huge map, the woman explained to him:

"【Broken Old World Map】 is considered relatively safer among the Angel-level Relics stored in the college. Its containment method is simple, and its negative characteristics are not complicated either. It won't be a problem if it doesn't unfold for more than 30 seconds each time."

"What will happen if it exceeds 30 seconds?"

Xia De asked, listening to his shoes making light sounds on the wooden floor. But entering the aisle between the bookshelves, the wooden floor turned into stone floor tiles again, as if the floor inside the library was not the same material.

"If it exceeds 30 seconds, the map will randomly transmit surrounding items to any corner of the material world. Mr. Hamilton, this might not sound serious, but once it exceeds 30 seconds, as time passes, the range will become larger and larger, and the effect will continue. Combined with the characteristic that the map is not affected by any Miracles or Curses, do you know what this means?"

The woman asked, leading Xia De to turn right at the corner in front. A boy who looked younger than Miss Beiyasi stood in that aisle between the bookshelves, looking at Xia De curiously.

"Once it exceeds 30 seconds, no one can get close to the map, because once they get close, they will be transmitted. It is also impossible to use supernatural abilities to roll up the map, so the map's range of influence will become larger and larger."

Xia De answered, his eyes looking around at the bookshelves. Most of the books seen so far were in Delarion or Casenrick, and the text of these two languages was actually very similar.

Occasionally glimpsing books with strange text, Xia De, after confirming that the content of the books around him was safe, would also try to decipher them. Just like the *Pink Book* placed on the bookshelf he just passed, this book was the only pink book among a whole bookshelf of books.

"This Relic is stored by the Library Management College. The last time it was used like this was more than thirty years ago. This time it was requested by Miss Danister before it was taken out. It is said that the map is a product before the Third Era, and a serious uncontrollable event appeared at the end of the Fourth Era, directly changing the terrain of the material world, splitting the main continent in the Fourth Era literature into the East, West, South, and North continents of the Fifth Era, as well as the center... We are here."

The woman suddenly stopped at the end of the bookshelf in front, signaling Xia De to continue walking forward.

Crossing the bookshelf, it was another open space located in the bookshelf group. Xia De suddenly felt that the library here was actually more like a maze, hiding countless years of precious knowledge.

The woman turned and left behind Xia De. Xia De walked forward two steps and saw a coffee table and four long sofas placed together in the open space. The coffee table was glass, with scattered books piled on it, and the long sofas were all dark fabric sofas.

A red-haired lady wearing small glasses was sitting on the sofa waiting for Xia De, with a soft expression and a beautiful appearance, holding a book whose name could not be seen because it was too far away.

Unlike the red hair unique to the Cavendish royal family, her hair color was not bright, but could be considered dull.

I don't know if it was the influence of the power of the High-Ring Shushi or the effect of the 【Youth-Preserving Leaf】 Relic, her age looked less than thirty years old. But according to the news Xia De inquired about, her age should not be lower than...

"Good afternoon, Mr. Hamilton. From your eyes, I seem to see that you are thinking about some impolite things."

The Delarion was equally proficient, and the tone carried a teasing flavor.

"Good afternoon."

Just a few steps forward without even sitting down, the woman's voice in his ears had already reminded Xia De of the other party's strength.

He nodded slightly to show respect:

"Miss Danister."

Saint Byrons Comprehensive College librarian "Red Moon Mage" Danister was the first Thirteenth-Ring Shushi Xia De saw in this world. The woman with a soft smile in front of him was one of the strongest mortals in this world.

The lady in front didn't have too much fierce temperament. On the contrary, the appearance of sitting on the sofa holding a book was quite similar to ordinary people who hadn't come into contact with mysticism. But the more this was the case, the more wrong it was. The temperament of Ringed Shushi would have unusual changes after possessing the spirit to contact the four elements. The lady in front should be considered to have perfectly controlled all her own power.

After a respectful greeting, Xia De sat down on the sofa opposite Miss Danister. He didn't quite understand what the other party was looking for him to do, but since he didn't run when he received the notification just now, he definitely couldn't show any abnormality now.

"Welcome to Saint Byrons, Xia De Su Lun Hamilton."

The librarian said softly, but didn't give Xia De a chance to speak:

"Show me your Ring of Fate."

This was Danister's first request after Xia De sat down. So he summoned the metal ring behind him amidst the steam whistle and roaring sound, but the Red Moon Mage just took a look and let Xia De take it back.

Xia De originally thought it was 【Little Match Girl】 that aroused suspicion, but didn't expect the problem to suddenly change:

"Actually, I am quite curious, Mr. Hamilton, why is your middle name Su Lun?"

Her right index finger wearing a green emerald ring swayed slightly, and the teacup and teapot on the coffee table jumped up automatically, pouring tea for Xia De.

Afterward, she snapped her fingers, and a corner of the Thirteenth-Ring Shushi's fate wheel appeared before Xia De's eyes. What he could see was Danister's core rune 【Red Moon】.

He felt somewhat surprised in his heart, but still answered "honestly":

"I don't have past memories. When I woke up, I only knew my name. When signing the document for the previous detective to handle the corpse, I temporarily thought of a word. 'Su Lun' was the first word that jumped into my head."

This didn't count as lying, just omitting some details. After all, the woman's voice speaking in his head was indeed "the word jumping into my head."

The Red Moon Mage nodded, slightly raised her right hand, and the phantoms of the Red Moon, Yellow Moon, and Silver Moon appeared on her palm together. The three moons were almost at the three vertices of an equilateral triangle, spinning in the palm of the Thirteenth-Ring female Shushi:

"We are all people connected to the moon. But the meaning of the word Su Lun is not just the silver moon."

Xia De nodded, but didn't speak. He thought it was good to listen at this moment.

"Mr. Hamilton, when you reach the senior year and have a deeper understanding of ancient text, you will understand that words with this pronunciation appear in most civilizations and all represent the silver moon. One view is that in the oldest era, the moon in the sky was not three, but one. The silver moon is the original moon."

Hearing this, Xia De thought of the second time he saw 【Innocent Creator】, when the other party created a "phantom" to match his story, the sky was only a silver moon.

The view that the silver moon is the original moon is probably not just a guess.

The discussion about the moon made Xia De somewhat familiar with Miss Danister. But afterward, she jumped the topic very abruptly:

"Let's talk about the moon topic later. This is the reason why I asked you to come. Now, let's talk about your Fourth Ring Sublimation Language. For talented students, we have always been very supportive of viewing the *Canon of Sublimation* in advance. As for whether you can be trusted, I think there is no need to consider it anymore, after all, no one is completely trustworthy."

She shook the book in her hand, her eyes sizing up Xia De, her tone still as relaxed as ever, as if it were a normal afternoon tea time and a chat between friends:

"So what needs to be considered now is, Mr. Hamilton, which core rune do you hope to use to participate in the construction of the Fourth Ring Sublimation Language?"

"Anything is fine."

Xia De answered. He had inquired about this from the Doctor in advance; choosing which core rune would not have an impact on himself.

"Then, are you expecting to search for construction based on the first-ring spirit runes you currently possess, or do you want to challenge yourself and are dissatisfied with the current spirit runes? Actually, when constructing the Sublimation Language, it is of course good if the meaning of the spirit runes is completely consistent, but close spirit runes can also be added to the construction. But I think your Enlightenment spirit rune probably won't work; it is too long."

She asked again.

"【Gluttony】 and 【Echo】 are both fine. I only hope to be promoted to Second Ring as soon as possible."

Selecting the spirit runes for each ring would not have a major impact on the future, but the acquisition difficulty of the other three runes in the Sublimation Language would have an impact.

"In this way, your range of choices is very clear."

That big book with a black hard cover flipped automatically in Danister's hand, making a rustling sound. ===== CHAPTER 206 =====
