Chapter 3927

In order to prevent destroying the house, when Xia De tried composite spellcasting, he was in Room 3 on the third floor of his home, which was the "extra room" on the third floor. Luvia, Galina, Sylvie, and Danister were all there to prevent problems when Xia De experimented with the Arcane Art.

But the effect of the combination of spell and Arcane Art was quite good; there was no dragon roar, only a glowing bubble emitting brilliant silver light was spat out by Xia De.

So both Ellie and Little Mia looked over with interest. Xia De raised his hand to let the bubble fall into his palm, feeling the power contained within:

"Sylvie, you really did propose an incredible idea."

The bubble contained the complete power of "Dragon Breath·Moonlight." Once it was allowed to burst, it was equivalent to directly releasing a full-directional "Dragon Breath" effect at the position where the bubble burst. Of course, the dragon roar would also definitely appear.

He let the silver bubble fly towards the girls, letting them feel the power within. Luvia was very curious:

"This kind of Arcane Art combination is very simple; if that Miss Gina Rosa knew, why didn't she tell you?"

Gina was a pure-blooded gemstone dragon and it was absolutely impossible for her not to know dragon breath. Xia De recalled his impression of the pink dragon maid:

"I don't think she forgot; it's highly likely that Gina probably doesn't use dragon breath very often."

Although this composite Arcane Art did not enhance the power of "Dragon Breath," its delay and controllability gave "Dragon Breath" broader possibilities, and the "Bubble Spell," a spell that seemed to have no use, also possessed greater value because of this.

After Xia De's Arcane Art attempt ended, he and Danister went to the Academy together. In theory, the Arcane Art that should be learned by holding a ritual at night was not a problem after Danister called for the red moon to descend in the dark room on Level 3 of the library.

This room located underground in the library was actually also a relic—the Sage-level relic 【Eternal Night Dark Room】. Night would permanently stay in this room, and even underground, one could still see the starry sky and the moon outside from the room window.

Of course, the characteristics of this relic were also quite dangerous. Without restrictions, the "night" characteristic located indoors would continuously spread outward, causing more areas to fall into "eternal night."

Xia De suspected that this relic was related to that "God of Night," but regardless, this relic was at least very suitable for use in the current occasion. However, Danister herself also said that the learning of Arcane Arts usually still had to follow the true time requirements, and this time it was just to prevent Xia De from encountering other troublesome things again.

"After all, tonight is your time with Princess Lei Qianya and Duo Luoqian; tonight your teachers are only them."

The administrator whispered, and Xia De kissed her after holding the ritual.

The learning of 【Blood Moon Arc Light】 went very smoothly. When the light of the red moon shrouded Xia De, he used the blood on the index finger of his left hand to draw a moon arc on the palm of his right hand, and then the bright red translucent longbow also appeared in his hand.

This Arcane Art was not common to the three moons, so it could only manifest the color of the red moon. Moreover, the styles of the longbows called out by Xia De and Danister were also different. The longbow in Danister's hand was like a true red moon crescent, pure and cold.

But in Xia De's hand, the blood-red longbow had a silver bowstring, and what was dotted on the surface of the longbow was not the elf moon-worship prayer like Danister's, but the moon phases that changed periodically from top to bottom. Both ends of the longbow were crescent moons, and the very center was a full moon.

Xia De also brought the 【Trace of Stars】 longbow. When holding that longbow to cast the spell, the brand-new longbow transformed from 【Trace of Stars】 was more gorgeous than a simple relic and a simple Arcane Art. The blood-red longbow body flickered with starlight, just like a galaxy embedded in the color of the red moon.

"No matter what the power of this Arcane Art is, at least I am very satisfied with the appearance."

Xia De said so, and Danister looked at Xia De with gratification:

"This is actually one of the last Arcane Arts taught to me by the teacher before leaving... Let's not talk about this; this Arcane Art is not unique to the Academy, so it doesn't matter even if you use it in front of the church."

Xia De asked:

"Speaking of which, how is that 'Moon Egg' planted in the flower pot now?"

"Only two days have passed, and there is no reaction yet. I water it on time every day, but is it a bit extravagant to dilute 'Moonlight Water' in it?"

That "Moonlight Water" was all provided by Xia De, and Xia De shook his head:

"After all, it's just an attempt, and two weeks won't use too much Moonlight Water. Let's wait a bit longer; the attempt of planting in the soil can continue until this time key of mine ends, and by then I should be able to get other methods from the Fifth Era."

Xia De spent a whole morning in the Academy, but he didn't stay for lunch. When he returned home at 11:30 in the morning, Luvia, who was on shift today and didn't need to go to work, was preparing lunch with Winnie, and Luvia looked like she wanted to learn a trick from Winnie.

And when meeting at the doctor's place this afternoon, Xia De also saw Duo Luoqian who hadn't appeared much for a week. Duo Luoqian had been busy with interviews this week; the local newspaper wanted to promote Duo Luoqian in the name of "the most successful young female writer of this century," which was also to cooperate with the publicity work for the next issue of "Hamilton Detective Stories."

So Duo Luoqian had been busy communicating with publishers and newspaper offices this week, but she said at the group meeting that the troublesome interview and photo shoot yesterday had ended, and everyone would be able to see the relevant reports on Sunday.

"But Xia De seems to be busier than me. Priest, before you came, Xia De was telling us about his adventures this week."

Duo Luoqian talked about Xia De again. When the group met, Duo Luoqian and Luvia mostly sat on the long sofa, while Xia De, Priest Ao Gu Si, and the doctor sat on two short sofas and separate chairs.

This time Xia De sat in an armchair, with the cat lying on his lap:

"My adventure started on Wednesday. I arrived in Arcadia City on Wednesday night, met local friends on Thursday, encountered a mechanical riot yesterday, and had a fight with people suspected to be from the 【Blood Spirit School】 in a local park at night."

"【Blood Spirit School】?"

The priest asked curiously:

"How did they provoke you again?"

Afterwards, Xia De recounted his experiences over the past few days in detail. When he mentioned the "Candle Keep Library," Dr. Shi Nai De, who had stayed in that city for a period of time during his student days, also felt very nostalgic.

Regarding mechanical activation and 【Life Spark】, neither the priest nor the doctor had heard of similar situations. As for the disappearance of blood-kin and the appearance of the "Giant Soldier," in their view, this was a sign that Xia De was about to be involved in big trouble again.

"Perhaps when we meet again next week, the detective will announce that he has already discovered some kind of ancient evil lurking in Arcadia City."

The doctor even joked, and Xia De asked:

"Doctor, since I am going to be active locally, do you want me to help you send a letter to your acquaintances there? Anyway, it's just a matter of convenience."

Looking at the expression on the doctor's face, he must have recalled certain people and certain things from the past at that moment, but he finally shook his head:

"The last time I went to Arcadia City was twenty years ago; I don't have any acquaintances there. There were two professors who had a good relationship with me who appreciated me, but there has been no contact since then, so it's better not to write a letter rashly."

Except for the cat who didn't care at all what the doctor said, everyone present knew that he was lying, but Xia De didn't dwell on this topic:

"My blood-kin friend should be able to give the analysis report of that corpse tomorrow. Or I will bring the corpse back, and Luvia's divination should also be able to give some clues. By then, we will know if the 【Blood Spirit School】 is plotting a conspiracy again."

"Detective, if you cannot channel the other party's soul, let me try it then."

The old priest, who always liked to wipe his pipe at group meetings, said, and Xia De nodded, then listened to others talk about recent interesting things.

This week, except for Xia De, everyone's life was considered peaceful. Or rather, the arrival of the war era made everyone's "ordinary profession" more or less busier, so there was no time to do too many other things on weekdays.

It is now the second half of the fourth month of 1855. Even if the doctor doesn't remind them, everyone can realize that the summer exam week is getting closer and closer. Therefore, at this week's group meeting, everyone was mostly dealing with their respective Academy affairs.

After Xia De and Danister returned from Mount Karas, they spent a lot of time making up for the missed courses, so the credits he lacked were not many. Counting the group task before the Year-End Festival plus the practical credits given by Danister after the "Mount Karas Adventure," his pressure was lighter than everyone else's.

"The Academy also calculated practical credits for me for participating in the Battle of Fate, so my credits are enough."

Luvia also announced, so now those who still lack practical credits are Duo Luoqian, the priest, and the doctor. If they don't skip grades, the credits they have accumulated are actually enough, but skipping grades means practical credits are multiplied by 1.3—higher grades require more, and the doctor has been planning the next group task recently.

"Speaking of which, will there be summer practical students from the Academy coming to us this year?"

The priest remembered last year's incident again. At that time, Emilia and her classmates came to Tobesk, and then the unlucky little elf encountered a series of accidents locally.

The doctor shook his head:

"There will probably be a notice next month, but if I were in the student management office, I wouldn't send students to Tobesk, which is so dangerous..."

"Meow?"

The cat sleeping on Xia De's lap suddenly opened its eyes, and the doctor saw ripples appearing on the liquid surface in the glass on the coffee table, and just as the doctor blinked—

Boom!
