Chapter 669

The joy of defeating the Flame Demon and obtaining the Witcher's longsword brought a perfect end to the first week of the Month of Withered Leaves. And on the second day, which was Monday, Xia De had to face the troublesome things in his hands again.

The doctor came very early, and Xia De let him go directly behind the Dark Door in the basement. And before breakfast, Xia De sent a letter to the librarian, Miss Dannister, the "Red Moon Witch," through the manuscript pages in his hand, explaining that he had obtained the 【Yellow Moon】 Spirit Rune.

And the reply was sent back just after Xia De finished breakfast, so after simple preparations, Xia De passed through the Undead Ritual of the four chairs and projected from St. Deran Square to the Academy Library located in the Far North again.

After Xia De appeared, the two students of St. Byron who assisted in the ritual left immediately. Xia De turned his head to look at their backs; one of them actually had a small bat pattern floating above his head, which meant he was also a Bloodline.

"The Academy actually recruits Bloodlines as students?"

He asked curiously to the thirteen-ring sorceress sitting on the sofa. The two were now in the open space in the center of the quiet and empty library. The scattered bookshelves extended to places Xia De couldn't see, and the ceiling was painted with star charts and hung with metal spherical astrolabes.

The astrolabe, which Xia De couldn't understand at all, was spinning slowly, and the starlit light left traces on the ceiling.

Probably because it was still early, there were not many footsteps in the library. Even diligent Ring Mages probably wouldn't come to the Academy Library to study at seven or eight in the morning.

"Yes, there is a Bloodline clan living in St. Byron."

This red-haired sorceress was still the same as usual. On the coffee table in front of her was a stack of books that were not neatly piled up. Judging from the style, they seemed to be the textbook "Basic Potions" that Xia De had received.

"I am very glad that you can take the initiative to contact me about the Silver Moon Library, Mr. Hamilton. I have already read your letter. You said you obtained the Yellow Moon Spirit Rune?"

"Yes."

As he spoke, Xia De in the projection state summoned the Life Ring behind him.

"Oh, Third Ring already? And at the Third Ring, you already have two Spirit Runes?"

Miss Dannister asked in surprise, but after thinking about it, she didn't say much more:

"Since that's the case, you can consider advancing to the third year after the year-end exams. This progress is really fast."

The projection state can still use sorcery; the professors who came to Xia De's house had demonstrated this. Therefore, after confirming that it was indeed the Yellow Moon Spirit Rune, Miss Dannister took out the black-covered book that could help her find the "Silver Moon Library" again.

Spreading this book on her lap, the core Spirit Rune "Red Moon" at the center of the thirteen-ring sorceress's Life Ring projected spiritual light, while the core Spirit Rune "Silver Moon" and the third-ring Spirit Rune "Yellow Moon" on Xia De's Life Ring also projected spiritual light together.

On the originally blank pages, with the illumination of the brass and golden spiritual light, blurred traces gradually appeared. But just like last time, the content on the book still did not fully appear.

"It seems that just a simple Spirit Rune is not enough; it still requires the core Spirit Rune."

The librarian lady shook her head with some regret:

"The traces are indeed clearer than last time, but they are still unrecognizable."

"Speaking of which, when will the Guiding Moon of Success reach Tobesk?"

Xia De couldn't help but ask.

"Soon, at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. At that time, I will have to trouble you to collect his spiritual light traces."

Miss Dannister closed the black-covered book, and then looked up at the Life Ring behind Xia De that was gradually fading into the steam mist:

"Silver Moon and Yellow Moon, it's really interesting. If you can obtain the 【Red Moon】 Spirit Rune again, then you will be qualified to learn that thirteen-ring sorcery evolved from the sorcery of the witches of the Fifth Era when you reach the thirteen rings."

"What sorcery?"

"【Forgiveness of the Moon Goddess】. It requires having the Spirit Runes of the three moons, and it can only be 【Yellow Moon】, 【Red Moon】, and 【Silver Moon】. Similar concepts won't work, and at least one of the three moons must be a core Spirit Rune. This is a thirteen-ring sorcery unique to St. Byron, left behind by the Academy's first librarian. It is said that the prototype is power from the Fourth Era or even earlier."

"The first librarian, huh..."

The image of Miss Oulannode jumped into Xia De's mind. Embracing her in the past time seemed to have happened yesterday... Yesterday was Sunday, so that really happened yesterday morning.

To keep himself from letting his imagination run wild, Xia De hurriedly ended the topic:

"Oh, has there been any progress in investigating the appearance of Miss Mana Miss Feilian in Tobesk? Everyone in our group is very curious."

"Ring Mages all over the world will be curious, but it's a pity that no traces were left locally. Currently, the most valuable clue is actually the memories of the witnesses at that time."

Speaking of this, Miss Dannister also had a headache:

"Recently, I have been checking the materials of the previous era in the library, hoping to find some clues. But Mr. Hamilton, this library is piled with aged parchment scrolls, probably enough to pave a road from here to your house. Librarians all have this 'good habit'; no matter what kind of document it is, as long as it enters the library, it won't be thrown away even if it has no value."

"Is that so... This reminds me of the fallen Old God, the guardian of the library, the 【Gray-Robed Sage】."

Xia De said as if casually;

"I remember that the divine arts of this god seem to be related to libraries."

"Yes, and also, the divine arts of the Old Gods are now called sorcery; don't get this wrong."

Miss Dannister said very rigorously, and she also knew what Xia De meant:

"But there are not many remaining statues and powerful items of this god. It is not simple to learn the sorcery corresponding to this god. Speaking of which, this Great One also helped St. Byron. In the era when the Academy Library was first built, his followers followed the oracle and completed the initial framework of the library. The power I have now to take the correct book from any bookshelf with a wave of my hand is related to the power granted to me by this library and the librarian position, and this power comes from the underlying ritual framework of the library."

"Are the founders of the Academy familiar with the sect of that Great One?"

"I don't know about that, but it is said that it is because the first-generation librarian once completed a mission for the Great One 【Gray-Robed Sage】. This is recorded in the documents of Zalas."

It seems that the mission in 3024 of the Fifth Era that Xia De is currently experiencing directly determined the appearance of the library he is currently in. The past and the present are connected again. In an era where the 【Father of the Infinite Tree】 has gone far away, Xia De will continue to connect that orderly but incoherent time through His power.

【The Father of the Infinite Tree is with you.】

"She" whispered in Xia De's ear in admiration.

In the quiet library, Xia De narrowed his eyes, and Miss Dannister picked up her teacup, not knowing what she was thinking. There was no wind here, only just the right amount of light from an unknown source, shining on every inch of the floor engraved with runes and every old bookshelf filled with books.

Inspiration surged, and Xia De suddenly thought that perhaps thousands of years ago in the previous era, Miss Miss Feilian, Miss Oulannode, and the girl Fiona with the red dragon tail had also stood here and recalled Xia De here, just as Xia De recalls them now.

The same space, different times. Xia De even wanted to reach out and touch the air in front of him at this moment, because the people who had passed away had truly existed here.

"Perhaps they also imagined at the other end of time that I would appear here a thousand years later, sitting on the sofa and looking back at their positions."

Xia De thought to himself.

【Time and space intersect here.】

"So what?"

【So, go and continue those stories that have already happened.】
