Chapter 443
Because he slept too late, by the time Xia De woke up from the bed again, it was already nine o'clock on Saturday morning. A full six hours of sleep made Xia De energetic. And the cat, which only ate the cat food Xia De prepared before going to bed in the morning and couldn't drink goat milk, was very dissatisfied with the "lazy" Xia De.
So much so that all the way Xia De took it to the photo studio to pick up the photos taken last time and then to the post office to send them to Miss Gao De, this cat ignored Xia De.
But when Xia De took it into the restaurant, Little Mia seemed to forget the unhappiness about breakfast today. When Xia De appeared at Doctor Shi Nai De's clinic with it, the cat returned to its usual appearance, standing on Xia De's shoulder and looking around with great spirit.
Although they both slept very late last night, Priest Priest Ao Gu Si was actually as energetic as Mia. Instead, Doctor Shi Nai De's spirit looked bad, and he kept yawning while waiting for the group members to arrive.
Priest Priest Ao Gu Si joked about the doctor's rich nightlife while wiping his pipe, but the doctor was not enjoying himself:
"In a few weeks I have to attend an academic conference on psychology, so I have to write a speech. In recent years, people's demand for psychologists has been great, and this industry is booming. Some people want to establish an international professional guild for psychologists, which is said to be proposed during this conference."
Doctor Shi Nai De complained about these things he had no interest in at all, and then asked about the reason why Xia De didn't rest well.
There was nothing that couldn't be said about last night's events, so before Luweiya and Duoluoqian came, Xia De and the priest told the story of last night.
The doctor had also heard of the 【Truth Society】 organization and had heard a lot about their bold research. Hearing that members of this organization appeared in Tobesk, he seemed particularly worried:
"The Truth Society usually doesn't have situations of acting alone. They all go out in groups of three to five to collect materials or conduct experiments. Tell the Academy about the situation in a while, and remind the correspondence Ring Warlocks in the city to pay attention to safety issues."
He yawned again, looking like he really stayed up late last night to write the speech.
When all five people arrived, the study meeting for this week was held on time. Xia De, who spent most of his time this week in Lengshuigang, had no fresh news to share, but the priest took the initiative to mention Lengshuigang.
He had obtained a lot of information from the church, so he could describe the events that happened there more specifically.
Although for the Ring Warlocks of Lengshuigang, the big event in the summer of 1853 could be talked about for many years, for the people of Tobesk, it could only be considered news from afar, so the group's discussion on this was not too deep.
If it weren't for the fact that both the "God Caller" and the "Blood Spirit School" had been associated with them, the priest probably wouldn't have brought this matter out for others to comment on.
Everyone had things to ask the Academy to handle. Among them, Xia De submitted the course paper for "Locked Space" and applied to borrow the paper on enhancing time perception. Subsequently, he received a new time key personally selected by Professor Kajia.
The time keys provided by the History Academy for investigators were not free except for the first one, but the charging standard was very low, almost equivalent to giving them away for free. Professor Kajia wrote a long letter to Xia De, describing how safe this key corresponding to the Fifth Era-1784 was.
The professor described in detail the major events that happened in that year in historical records in the letter, and guessed the situation Xia De might encounter, hoping that Xia De could submit the investigation report as soon as possible after conducting the investigation.
Although Xia De read the letter carefully, he didn't pay much attention to the professor's investigation. What made him care was the time corresponding to the key.
In the Fifth Era 1784, seven hundred years had passed since the 【Innocent Creator】-1068 event where three children strayed into Hope Town. The boy who sought growth had long turned into dry bones, the boy who craved fairy tales had also completely left his life trajectory, and even the witch who hoped for power among them must have left long ago; and the 【Radiance Gate】-3002 event where Miss Feilian and Miss Oulannuode broke into the Forest of Thousand Trees was still nearly thirteen centuries away. When Xia De met those two ladies, their age would not exceed forty.
So, in the Fifth Era 1784, Xia De had no acquaintances. Thinking about it this way, there was still some loss in his heart.
Besides Xia De, other members of the group also applied for book borrowing, report submission, and academic credit inquiries in turn. When Doctor Shi Nai De told the Academy about the news of the 【Truth Society】, the Academy actually gave a 5 Jin Bang information fee.
This was an unexpected joy, so Xia De and Priest Priest Ao Gu Si split the money equally.
And just when Xia De wanted to see the Academy's bounty, thinking about getting some practical credits for himself during the leisurely time of more than half a month before Dakenisi arrived in Tobesk, new news came from the Academy.
The librarian, Miss Dannisite, the Red Moon Witch, wanted to see Xia De.
This time, it was not letting Xia De go to the extreme north St. Bailunsi through the dangerous space movement method, but using a projection ritual to let him project to the Academy library.
"Could it be that Miss Dannisite found the owner of the 'Yellow Moon' core spirit rune? Can we find the Silver Moon Library? Can I look up information about demons from the library?"
Xia De was surprised first, and then terrified:
"Or, did Miss Dannisite discover the matter between me and Miss Feilian, and then guess that I can truly travel through time?"
"Xia De, what kind of expression is this? Why do you want to laugh and cry again? Sit down quickly, Miss Dannisite is already waiting for you."
Doctor Shi Nai De, who put down the Academy notice, urged, and others didn't feel that there was anything wrong with this matter.
Others exited the room first, and Xia De put the cat, which was taking a nap, on the sofa.
Mixing the bone powder into the water basin, stirring clockwise for three weeks, dripping in blood, and immersing the parchment into the blood water. After the ice-blue flames ignited in the water basin, Xia De sat on the chair.
The scenery in Doctor Shi Nai De's reception room became blurred like oil paint dripped with water. Then the oil paint combined again, revealing the scenery inside the Academy library in front of Xia De.
Above his head was a high dome, the ears were extremely quiet, candlelight and gas lamps illuminated the surroundings, bookshelves of varying heights surrounded the circular open space in the library, and metallic luster and wooden bookshelves existed together in this space.
In front of Xia De was Miss Dannisite sitting on the sofa, with two students sitting in the east and west for the ritual beside her.
After Xia De appeared, the two politely said goodbye to Miss Dannisite and then left.
"Good afternoon, Miss Dannisite."
Xia De greeted respectfully. Judging from the expression of this 13th-ring warlock wearing a robe, she should be in a good mood now.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hamilton."
The red-haired lady waved to Xia De, and the teacup flew slowly towards him in the air. This was a cup of black tea, and the temperature of the tea was just right:
"Sorry to bother you again, it's still the same matter as last time."
After the pleasantries, Miss Dannisite talked about the business directly with Xia De:
"I didn't find the owner of the 'Yellow Moon' core spirit rune, but I found a correspondence Ring Warlock who possesses the 'Guiding Moon' spirit rune at the Seksai Higher Medical College."
The yellow moon itself has the meaning of "guidance" in occultism, so "Guiding Moon" is "Yellow Moon" in a sense.
Xia De was very surprised:
"Is the other party also a correspondence Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi? Then does he want to come to St. Bailunsi to test it?"
"Of course not, the matter of the Silver Moon Library cannot be known by outsiders."
Miss Dannisite shook her head elegantly, and the quill-shaped earring on her ear caught Xia De's attention.
She said to Xia De again:
"So I need you to help. I used some small means to let that 4th-ring Ring Warlock be sent to the Tobesk area by the Seksai Higher Medical College to handle affairs. You need to meet him, then collect the light of his core spirit rune, and then send it to me through the manuscript page for testing. This is a new idea I had after seeing you last time. Although it is not enough to open the clues on that book, it can also cause some reactions.
Collecting the spiritual light of the spirit rune must rely on the special alchemical item I made. When needed, I will give it to you separately through your paper, but be careful, this is a secret mission, don't let anyone know what you are doing."
"In other words, even that 'Guiding Moon' doesn't know about this?"
Xia De confirmed.
"Yes, it's better if the other party never knows."
Miss Dannisite nodded:
"I won't let you do it for nothing. I will hand this matter to you through other names in the form of an Academy bounty. 10 Jin Bang income, 10 practical credits, and the right to choose my private elective course later. Besides this, if we successfully open the Silver Moon Library, I can give you a promise."
"What promise?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"The library of St. Bailunsi Academy has an unwritten rule that every generation of librarian should preferably be a favored one of the 'Moon.' This is not only convenient for successors to use the sorcery knowledge left by past librarians, but also convenient for successors to learn the sorcery locks that can only be learned by the librarian position. If we successfully open the Silver Moon Library..."
Her slender fingers tapped on the back of the sofa, and the deliberate pause was to let Xia De hear the following information clearly:
"I will put you on the candidate list for the next librarian. When you officially enter St. Bailunsi and are promoted to high-ring, you can be assessed."
"Then how many people are on this list now?"
Xia De was not too happy, but asked instead.
Miss Dannisite showed a meaningful smile to Xia De:
"Mr. Hamilton, to be honest, so far, there is not one, and there won't be one for decades. I haven't met a very suitable student... do you understand?"
Xia De raised his eyebrows, but no expression appeared on his face:
"You mean... yes, I will definitely complete this commission."
If he couldn't become a god before officially entering the Academy, then inheriting the librarian position at St. Bailunsi as a high-ring warlock would also be very helpful for continuing to search for divinity.
"No need to rush, just complete it within two months. The other party hasn't arrived in Tobesk yet. 'Guiding Moon' is a student of Seksai after all, and it's not simple to transfer him quietly. This is just to notify you of this matter. When the other party arrives in the city where you are, I will give you specific news. Mr. Hamilton, this commission is very important, whether for you or for me."
She hesitated for a moment, and then said in a very low voice:
"As long as you don't expose your identity and don't leak the matter of the Silver Moon Library, you can use any method. Yes, any method to collect the light of the spirit rune. I won't mind you using irregular means."
Xia De looked at her in surprise, but Miss Dannisite held the teacup again, showing an expression as if she hadn't said anything.
He nodded slowly:
"I understand everything, Miss Dannisite, everything is for the moon."
"Yes, Mr. Hamilton, everything is for the moon."
