Chapter 2478: Board Member

Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te raised her hand to let the teacup float toward her:

"The unknown ownership of academy property and management rights is of course strange, but not many people know about this, and it won't affect the normal operation of the academy. The ancient academy rules are the most basic rules of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy.

Normally, even without this visit by the two principals, you would have known about management rights and ownership after inheriting my position in the future. Speaking of which, it's not just us; the Zalas Academy of Literature and the Cerces Higher Medical Academy also have situations where a large portion of management rights and ownership ownership has been unknown for a long time."

Xia De frowned:

"May I ask when this situation started? The Fifth Era or the Sixth Era."

"Xia De, I can't answer this question. Successive academy principals have conducted investigations, but we have to admit that the loss of data is too serious."

Xia De's inspiration told him that this was definitely not normal, but Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te didn't care about what Xia De was thinking:

"Since you are here, it's like this. Although according to academy regulations, the wealth accumulated from your ownership over the past thousands of years has mostly been invested in the expansion and various constructions of the academy, besides fixed assets that cannot be cashed out for the time being, you also have a large amount of liquid funds in the academy that can be mobilized at any time. Of course, I don't suggest you withdraw it all."

She told Xia De a number, which was enough to build another Moon Bay Bridge:

"Do you have any arrangements for this property? Your ownership of this property has been written into the most basic underlying regulations of St. Byrons, so don't worry about the academy hiding anything."

"No arrangements, after all, I'm not short of money. Besides, if I withdraw so much liquid funds from the academy in one breath, the academy will also be very troubled."

Xia De said, and Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te smiled:

"Then should I use honorifics for you? According to the modern academy's address, you are now one of the board members, and I am just working for you. Although I enjoy 1% of the academy's revenue because of my position before retirement, this is a public welfare for the academy's management, and it cannot be compared with the respected Board Member Hamilton."

Xia De shivered:

"Please don't say that anymore. I only know that I shouldn't have to spend money to buy knowledge and relics in the academy in the future, right?"

The red-haired female sorceress nodded:

"Of course you don't have to spend money, and although you, this board member, have no management rights, because your ownership share exceeds 5%, you have the right to put forward suggestions and views to the academy as a board member, and we will discuss this. How about it, do you have any suggestions for the academy now?"

"Hmm... can you increase the salary of Emilia as a library assistant?"

The female sorceress drinking black tea smiled:

"Of course you can."

"Then can I apply for a raise for you?"

Xia De asked again. Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then looked at him with a smile:

"Of course you can, but I don't suggest doing so. Because you will also inherit this position in the future, so your suggestion looks like you are seeking benefits for yourself."

"I see... Then maybe we can improve the afternoon tea specifications for the professors, using better tea leaves and snacks. Of course, because the work of the principal and library manager is harder, the afternoon tea subsidy for these two positions can be raised higher."

Xia De said so, but in fact, he didn't have much ripples in his heart. For a ring-sorcerer of his level, if he wanted money, it would be very easy to get it from the ordinary world.

Moreover, this asset of St. Byrons must be a gift left to him by Miss Miss Feilian An Na and Miss Ou Lan Nuo De in the Fifth Era, but it was only sent out after this visit. For this gift that came across time, Xia De felt that he shouldn't squander it casually before he thoroughly found a way to let those ancient witches permanently come to the Sixth Era.

"Afternoon tea subsidy? Then please allow me to thank you on behalf of the professors."

Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te said, and then Xia De really stood up from the chair and wrote a "Board Member Letter" with his left hand at home and handed it to Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te. The academy's review mechanism would recognize the source of this letter, and the ancient St. Byrons still remembered the person who brought land to it.

Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te didn't change her attitude toward him because of Xia De's change in status, but reminded him:

"I am glad that you were not lost in your wealth, but although you don't want to use that huge property for the time being, you must explain how to handle this money."

"Should it continue to be invested internally in the academy as before, or should a sum be withdrawn every year to invest in other industries?"

"Can I entrust you to help me manage it? I don't know much about the academy industry of St. Byrons, and I don't have time to consider commercial aspects. How about giving you 10% of the annual revenue? Or more is also fine."

"Want to bribe me? No, no, I'm not yet at the point of considering saving for my retirement. 1% is enough. It's just that in this way, the academy will think that I have some special friendship with the God-Caller."

She put down the teacup and narrowed her eyes with a smile. Xia De didn't care:

"If there is, then let it be. Since Miss Miss Feilian An Na took the initiative to involve the God-Caller with the academy, it indeed needs a suitable candidate to maintain this relationship. It can't be Emilia, right?"

Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te didn't say anything more, which meant she agreed to this matter. However, to handle such a large amount of assets, she needed to find a suitable candidate to draft plans and schemes later, and she would still have to discuss it with Xia De at that time.

Today was just telling Xia De these things and handing an old parchment document to Xia De. That document proved Xia De's partial ownership of St. Byrons. As for whether he specifically wanted houses or land, or those knowledge and materials, these needed to be negotiated afterward.

But Xia De now preferred not to take anything. After all, according to the academy rules, no matter what, things that belonged to him could not be taken away by others.

Of course, none of the above were the focus of Xia De's visit this time. Compared to this wealth that he and Little Mia would definitely not be able to finish eating or spending, he cared more about the matter of Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te's teacher:

"Let's go back to business. Do the believers of the God of Music - 【Harmonious Weaver】 have any news?"

The female sorceress who was just joking with Xia De also sat up straight:

"Yes, I successfully met them. After revealing my identity, they were also very willing to cooperate with me, but the female bishop who was famous for "Moonlight Sonata" in the music sect that Laplace Howard had recommended to the teacher mentioned in the notes you provided has passed away."

This was not very surprising, after all, she was a musician of the previous era. In the current sect, almost no one knew that she had met my teacher. During the time I was out, I mainly spent it on sorting out the relics of that lady, which was not very easy work."

She leaned back on the sofa somewhat lazily:

"But fortunately, there were some gains before being urgently called to Moon Bay by the principal. How should I put it, from the diary of that lady, the teacher seemed to think that the 【Music Sect】 was a branch of the ancient 'Moon Worship Sect'."

"Or rather, the sect of the ancient god - Silver Moon Sage, although it fell apart after the gods left, but some of them became believers of the ancient god - God of Music after the latter appeared."

This was not worth being surprised either. The sects of the ancient gods existed in various other forms in modern times, among which the Five Gods Church was the most typical example:

"Miss Dan Dac Nisi Te, this is the first time I've heard that the... music and moon have anything to do with each other?"

The library manager looked at him suspiciously:

"Xia De, don't you know? The ancient god 【Secret Mentor】 and 【Silver Moon Sage】 share the authority of art, but the original God of Music was indeed the latter."

Saying this, she drew the holy emblem of that Moon Sage on her chest.

"This... the authority of that moon god is really extensive. Please continue."

"The current bishop of the Music Sect also admitted that they did inherit some ancient things, but now even the ancient gods have long since left, and there is nothing of value left in their hands.

The diary of the previous bishop didn't mention anything other than discussing the origin of the sect with the teacher, so I asked what knowledge and traditions the current 【Music Sect】 still has related to that Sage."

She deliberately paused here and looked at Xia De, so Xia De asked:

"She mentioned the tower ruins on Mount Karas, right?"

"Yes, they still have the tradition of going to the ruins to perform on the night when the silver moon is most full every ten years. Even now that the tower has collapsed, they still plan to go to the ruins to perform in the next ten years."

"Perform what?"

"Usually the best music written by sect members within ten years."

"Besides performing, what else do they do there?"

"No other activities."

"Then did your teacher ever... with them..."

"No, this is a private activity of the sect, limited to believers."

After the successive answers, both were silent. It was only after a long time that Xia De asked:

"So the clue is broken here again? It's

"But at least I know why Teacher went to Mount Karas back then. Perhaps Teacher also learned about the ruins there from other places, but it was clearly the visit to the 【Music Sect】 that confirmed to her that there was a problem there."

Miss Danister looked at Xia De under the huge armillary sphere in the library:

"Mount Karas, all the clues point there, but I have visited several times and found no clues. Come, let's straighten out our thoughts; the clues to the Old God believers are broken, but I have other clues here."
