Chapter 2872

"Miss Metz, then in that memory, did you live here as a student or as a teacher?"

The Gray Wolf witch also asked. Although everyone didn't like her much because of the race at first, they are now getting along very harmoniously.

Miss Metz thought for a while:

"It's hard to describe. Sometimes I am a teacher, and sometimes I am a student. I remember that I once stood on the podium to teach, and the content of the teaching was divination, so I am very familiar with this tower; but sometimes I am a student sitting on a cushion listening to the old professor's lecture, with a notebook in my hand."

The worried Green Dragon maid said casually:

"Maybe it's just that the order of memory is wrong. You studied here, and after graduation, you stayed here to continue teaching according to the tradition of the sect."

Miss Metz nodded slowly, and hesitated for a while before asking people:

"You say, am I really a normal person?"

No one answered this question.

Except for Miss Metz herself, only Emilia here hadn't heard Xia De say that he thought this witch had a problem, so the simple little elf asked:

"Do you think you are a ghost?"

The witch nodded, looking at her hands holding the rice bowl:

"Or, there is another soul in my body, it is it that guided me to come here."

Others didn't know what to say, so Xia De comforted:

"When we see that god, you can seek help from Him. God will love His believers."

He immediately changed the topic again:

"Speaking of which, since you entered this tower, why don't you go to the top floor but camp on the second floor from the bottom?"

"The door leading to the top floor is locked. It needs a key and the spell discovered on the stone tablet last time to open it."

Miss Metz answered:

"Like other places, the door cannot be forcibly destroyed here. I only remember that there should be a key, but I don't know where it is. Probably, on the person who finally left the academy and left the stone tablet."

"I have the power to unlock specifically, I can try it in a while."

Xia De said, patting Little Mia's head. Because Emilia was shrinking beside Xia De, it was not convenient for this cat to lie on Xia De's lap again. It was now lying on the cushion by the fire, and the kind Miss Wild also prepared food for it.

"Then are you ready for the knowledge you want to teach us?"

Xia De asked again. This time the human witch nodded and gave a definite answer:

"Already ready."

In the boring and chaotic time when Xia De was away, Iluna had already taught everyone about the power of the sun, and even Emilia learned from Iluna the magic 【Sunshine】 that Xia De had seen Iluna use in the Temple of Order.

This is a magic that causes strong sunlight to appear in the venue to range damage to evil forces. Although Emilia learned it, its power is obviously not comparable to the magic released by Iluna.

In addition to learning power from Iluna, Emilia also learned power from the Gray Wolf witch and the Green Dragon witch. Although she didn't learn the transformation magic of turning into a wolf or turning into a dragon, she learned the magic - 【Wolf Eye】 and the magic - 【Sweet Element】.

The former can strengthen her vision, but considering that pure-blood high elves themselves have the talent of 【Dark Vision】, the greatest significance of this magic lies in strengthening the ability of farsightedness; while the latter makes Emilia possess the ability to make anything have a sweet taste.

This is different from Xia De's 【Candy Making】. He makes food into candy. In essence, food has been changed. And Emilia makes anything have a sweet taste, not changing the essence of the object, just adding a new taste.

That is to say, she can even make a stone on the ground have a sweet taste, but that stone is still a stone.

Although these two magics don't seem to have much effect, Emilia herself likes them very much.

Although Xia De has 50 minutes this time, he can't waste too much, so everyone eats very fast. As for where the god is this time, Xia De thinks there is no need to look for it at all. Since the door upstairs cannot be opened, the possibility of God being at the top of the tower upstairs is almost 100%.

After eating, he got up and prepared to use magic to open the door. Miss Wild, Miss Bister, and Emilia cleaned up the tableware downstairs. Because the stairs were narrow, only Miss Metz and Iluna followed Xia De upstairs.

The end of the stairs is that door. Xia De first recited the spell according to what Miss Metz said, so a keyhole appeared on the door that originally had no keyhole. Then he pressed his finger on the keyhole:

"Key of the Door!"

The finger turned, so the sound of the door lock opening came clearly from the door.

Xia De was very surprised:

"So simple?"

"Isn't simple good?"

Iluna asked, Xia De shook his head:

"The difficulty of opening this door is about the same as the difficulty of opening an ordinary person's door. Is the lock of a room protected so tightly just an ordinary lock? I feel that even if I use a wire, I can pick this lock."

Regardless, the door was indeed opened, but Xia De held the doorknob and didn't mean to push the door open at all. In such a strange place, no matter how cautious it is, it is not too much. Moreover, the stone tablet carried by Miss Metz did not glow, and he had no reason to go behind the door:

"My 【Key of the Door】 is not omnipotent either. A long time ago, I thought that if a door leads to different places after being opened in two ways, then it is hard to say where it will lead after I open the door with 【Key of the Door】. I have a bad premonition that this door must not be opened like this. I think we still have to find the key."

"But where will the key be? Do we have to go outside to explore?"

Miss Metz asked, Iluna had a different idea:

"Since the person who finally left here wrote the spell to open the door on the stone tablet, maybe there is a clue to the key there... Why don't we smash the stone tablet, maybe the key is inside."

But Xia De shook his head. He signaled the two to follow him downstairs back to the camp on the second floor from the bottom, and then asked:

"Except for the materials and living supplies I brought, what did everyone bring when they came?"

Iluna was accidentally brought by a relic, and there were not many things on her at that time; Emilia had her own small messenger bag, but there was nothing else; the Gray Wolf and the Green Dragon both came here with a plan to learn something, so both of them had their own luggage.

As for Miss Ross Metz, she was the first person to appear here, and she saved Miss Bister and Miss Wild, so everyone really didn't know what her luggage had, and she herself claimed that her luggage had lost most of it before meeting everyone.

The Gray Wolf girl, who seemed to be very good at tidying up things, soon divided everyone's things. But after everyone claimed their own belongings, there was a dark brown leather handbag left by the bonfire. The handbag had a long flap and buckle, looking sturdy and durable.

Everyone had no impression of this handbag, so Xia De opened it after seeking everyone's opinions and took out all the items inside one by one:

"Pencils, erasers, dip pens, ink, notebooks, books, paper, keys. Found it, the key!"

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief and showed the shiny silver key to everyone. As for those notebooks that might indicate the identity of the owner of the handbag, he didn't open them, but put everything back as it was:

"Okay, with the key, we can open the door."

Everyone wanted to say something but stopped, but they all guessed what was going on. Miss Metz pursed her lips and looked at the key. When Xia De looked at her, she nodded gently:

"I understand, then let's go."

This time the stone tablet placed aside flew up automatically, and the golden light pointed to the direction of the stairs. Xia De took Miss Metz and Iluna to the end of the stairs again. The size of the small silver key matched the keyhole. After turning gently, the holy emblem of the Old God 【Master of the Black Robe】 was depicted on the surface of the black iron door.

"This time it's right."

Xia De just wanted to open the door, but Miss Metz grabbed his hand again. Her expression could even be said to be a bit panicked:

"I am real, right?"

"You are of course real."

Iluna beside Xia De answered for Xia De, and then pulled Miss Metz's hand away:

"Okay, Xia De, open the door."

The door was pushed inward. The layout inside was the same as downstairs, but all the furnishings here remained as they were when the last person locked the door and left, as if neither the passage of time nor the collapse of this place had any effect on this floor.

The floating blackboard was suspended on the left hand side of the door, and dozens of cushions were placed on the ground facing the blackboard. And that god wearing a black robe was also standing in front of the blackboard waiting for them.

Iluna stood beside Xia De and did not hide like the werewolf and the green dragon before. She was not the first time to see a god, and this one is a good god, so there is no need to hide.

As for Miss Metz, she put her right hand on her left shoulder and bowed forward, her voice trembling:

"My Lord."

The god in the black robe smiled and responded to them. The stone tablet floated to Him and was branded with the last holy emblem:

"Everyone has doubts. I am waiting for you here. After the ceremony is over, let's come here together."

"Okay, we will be as fast as possible."

Xia De nodded to the god, then took the stone tablet that floated back and stuffed it to Miss Metz, and then retreated to the stairs with the two. The door closed, Iluna breathed a sigh of relief, and then became excited again:

"Is it finally going to end? And we can listen to the god's lecture, that must be very interesting."

Xia De was also very happy that everything went well. The last step of the ceremony is to let Miss Metz complete the teaching, but now Miss Metz looks uneasy, Xia De is a bit worried about her mental state.

"Here, have a cup of tea. Drinking tea always makes people feel happy."

After returning downstairs again, Miss Wild handed the teacup to Miss Metz. After everyone sat down, the girl holding the teacup calmed her mood slightly, raised her head and looked at the crowd watching her with concern:

"No matter what I am, the ceremony of the Lord must be completed... I come from the sect of the Lord, and most of what I know and learn is power related to the inheritance of knowledge. Although our sect does not pursue powerful power, we are not a weak group either. We like to use magic to ensure the spread of knowledge, but we must use power to protect those who spread knowledge.

Most of the records in "Blessing of Books" are the magic of the Lord. The most powerful attack magic is 【Knowledge Bestowal】, sharing the filthy and dangerous knowledge you have mastered with enemies, polluting their spirits and destroying their souls; the most effective defensive magic is 【Blessing of Books】, the strength of defense is determined by the number of books you have read and the amount of knowledge you have mastered, combined with the basic spell 【Speed Reading】 can quickly improve the effect of this magic.

But what I want to teach you this time is not these two powerful magics. We don't have that much time."

After letting everyone have a basic understanding of the magic of the 【Master of the Black Robe】 sect, Miss Metz tore off paper from the notebook and distributed it to everyone including Emilia:

"Words are power - this is the origin of most of the magic I have mastered. The highest-level magic of the sect even allows us to directly use spells we have never learned while holding information.

But this is also not the focus of our today. It is too difficult to let everyone learn to use the power of knowledge and words in a short time. But only one type of word is the most familiar to everyone and the most likely to be directly used."

"Our own names!"

The Gray Wolf witch said immediately, Miss Metz nodded, and she took the lead in writing her name on the paper:

"Names represent ourselves. Whether it is immediately realizing that this is calling yourself when your name is shouted, or signing means that you agree with the content of the document, this can reflect the role of the name."

She showed everyone the paper she signed:

"Therefore, names, especially names written by yourself, can be equivalent to ourselves to a certain extent. The magic I want to teach you comes from this, but this is not a specific magic. What you can learn from my teaching is entirely determined by your own ideas.

Now, please write your name on the paper, remember it is the full name, and it is the real name, not a nickname."

"May I ask what language to use?"

Emilia raised her hand and asked, really as if asking a question in the classroom. Miss Metz was particularly friendly to this underage girl, and her speech was very gentle:

"Miss Sianode, you can use the language you write your name most often. In St. Byrons of your era, does the academy require the use of human common language?"

The pointed-eared elf then answered:

"Modern Elvish is also fine. Elvish is a necessary spell for many modern magic casting, so everyone knows it."

The two communicated on the side, while Iluna didn't have to worry about what to use at all. She of course used Delarion common language. As for the Gray Wolf and the Green Dragon, they didn't have to hesitate either.

But this is a problem for Xia De, because the outsider's name is not "Xia De Su Lun Hamilton" but "Xia De", and the language he uses most often to write his name is not Delarion, but his mother tongue in his hometown.

Just looking at the paper in front of him, after a moment of hesitation, he still wrote "Xia De Su Lun Hamilton".

【Why not your real name?】

"If I still want to go back, I would probably use this name, but now I have decided to stay. And the name is not only personal cognition, but also others' cognition of oneself. Now everyone in this world's cognition of me is a new name... Last week, didn't Angelina say that Xia De is Su Lun? I am Xia De Su Lun Hamilton."

"She" in his ear smiled gently, and after confirming that everyone had written it, Miss Metz took the ritual materials she asked Xia De to prepare in advance. Because the materials were sufficient this time, she didn't just teach everyone to meditate, but really drew the ritual base array, but it was drawn on the paper with names written on it.

The ink used to paint the ritual base array added everyone's blood, and the pen used was the "wolf hair pen" sponsored by Miss Bister.

"Meow~"

When Xia De took the pen, Little Mia, who was turned back by Xia De, immediately leaned over, sniffed it, and then meowed at the Gray Wolf girl. The latter laughed happily, probably thinking that the cat wanted to be friends with her.

After the ritual base array was painted, everyone learned Miss Metz's technique, folded their respective papers into the shape of stars. Then pressed it on their forehead, and finally burned it into ashes, and dissolved the ashes in the magic potion she simply prepared and drank it.

This time the cat didn't rush to drink, and even looked like it wanted to stop Xia De from drinking this thing. And the magic potion soaked with ashes was indeed not good to drink at all. After frowning and swallowing it, Xia De immediately concentrated according to Miss Metz's requirements, called his name thirteen times in his heart, and finally closed his eyes and meditated on his appearance in his mind.

"After I go back, I will try again with the name 'Xia De'."

He thought in his heart, and his current appearance quickly took shape in his mind. This time it was unusually smooth. Almost the moment his own appearance took shape in his mind, the spirit and elements were triggered, and new power was born from this.

【Outsider, you perceived "Enlightenment".】

【Outsider, Magic - "Beloved Object" sublimated.】

【Choose an inanimate ordinary object as the selected object, and use the caster's greed and love for the object to make the object obtain extraordinary power according to its own function and shape; if the name is engraved or written on objects including but not limited to machinery/alchemy items/relics, the function of the object can only be used by you.】

【Note, the above two effects can exist on the same object at the same time, and in this case, the strength of both effects will be enhanced; the number of objects that can exist with both effects of this magic at the same time changes from "1" to unlimited, but the use effect will reduce the upper limit of the spirit, and the erasure effect will restore the upper limit of the spirit.】
