Chapter 746

After eating dinner, Xia De asked about the sun power items.

Miss Galina also collected two pieces; her opinion was very similar to Mr. Edmond the tower keeper, since she didn't know which item met the requirements, it was better to find a few more.

What the witch gave Xia De was a pebble that could heat up, and the blade of a broken sword. The former's surface was unusually smooth, and the temperature in the palm would continue to rise until it stopped near 50 degrees. Although the latter had no rust, it looked like there was nothing else special; Miss Galina believed that the sword blade might be the wreckage of the sword of a sun knight of the Fourth Era.

Xia De didn't go home tonight but was invited to stay overnight in the manor, and talked in detail with the witch about the current situation in Midhillburg. During this period, he also learned another thing: after the 【Sin Mansion】 incident ended, Mr. Armand Bernhard of the vampire species requested Sister Daelin to introduce him to the great witch of the Witch Council (Chapter 711). Later, Mr. Bernhard met Grandma Cassandra, and then through Grandma Cassandra's relationship, bought a relic from Miss Galina at a high price.

That relic even had a relationship with Xia De; it was the document-level relic 【Vampire Fang】, which was the relic Xia De obtained at the end of his adventure in the underground ruins of Tobesk after defeating the vampire species sent by the 【Blood Spirit School】 to assist 【Mercury Blood】. That relic was one of the tokens of the vampire species inheritance and needed to be implanted into the oral cavity to exert its characteristics (Chapter 280).

Xia De originally sold this relic and the vampire species' corpse to Miss Galina for 1200 pounds. And Mr. Bernhard, who was a bit anxious, spent a full 3000 pounds to buy that tooth from Miss Galina.

"So, you don't have to give me pounds for those two sun items; 【Vampire Fang】 has already made me earn a large sum."

The red-haired duchess said quite generously, while Xia De was even more confused:

"【Blood Crown】 【Blood Thorn Scepter】 【Vampire Species Ring】 【Blood Holy Grail】 【Vampire Fang】, already five relics... What exactly do the vampire species in the Mibao area want to do?"

"What they want to do is definitely unrelated to the Interstice and the Chosen One."

Miss Galina did not easily make this judgment:

"I heard from the speaker a few days ago that now in the Carsonrick mountain area at the southern foot of the Sikar Mountains, a large number of vampire species from all over the Old Continent have gathered, among which there are even five high-ring sorcerers. But except for the Armand Bernhard you mentioned, none of them entered Mibao City.

This strange phenomenon has already aroused the high vigilance of the Orthodox Church. The vampire species did not avoid the church; after simple communication between the two sides in the Carsonrick United Kingdom at the southern foot of the Sikar Mountains, the church believes that the actions of the vampire species are unrelated to the matter of the Chosen One, and certainly not some conspiracy to destroy the city."

"Does the Orthodox Church really think so?"

Xia De asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the church must have its own reasons. So, although the matter of the vampire species needs attention, don't focus on it. Next Tuesday or Wednesday, the church's sealing ritual 'Trace of the Holy Tree' is about to begin, and unexpected problems will appear then... This is almost a certainty. Xia De, I think you will definitely appear in places you shouldn't appear again for strange reasons."

The witch teased, but didn't say anything like telling Xia De not to go:

"In short, just pay attention to safety. Now Xivi and Grandma Cassandra are both in Mibao; if you follow them, there shouldn't be too much danger. Midhillburg, after all, is too far from Tobesk; even if I want to help you, I can't."

"There shouldn't be any danger; after all, this time the Orthodox Church almost achieved foolproof results."

Xia De said.

A mocking smile appeared on the witch's face:

"In this world, there is no such thing as foolproof. Where there is a Chosen One, there is definitely trouble. My dear student Iluna Beias has already arrived in Mibao, plus that Barton who wants to resurrect the dead. The story is getting more and more interesting, and the best point is, this story is very far away from us this time."

(Little Mia is running...)

On Saturday, Xia De still didn't leave Tobesk City; this was not because of the influence of the 【Laziness】 spirit rune, but because he was really a bit tired recently. High-intensity adventures all week, even Xia De needed time to rest.

Saturday afternoon was the time for the group study session as usual. Compared to Xia De who was running back and forth, Dr. Schneider's life looked very calm. Before the meeting started, he repeatedly emphasized to others, especially Xia De, the importance of this year's winter exam week, and urged Xia De to decide as soon as possible whether to apply for skipping a grade.

Xia De was nominally a sophomore, but his ring sorcerer level was about to reach the fourth ring. If Xia De really wanted to skip a grade, then in the remaining two months of this year, he would have a lot of things to be busy with.

Xia De also had many things to deal with at the study session; first was about his own "Words of Sublimation," he needed to determine whether 【Sleeping Princess】 or 【Sleeping Beauty】 could replace the spirit rune 【Sleep】. Secondly, it was the time key obtained from the seal on the mountainside of the Interstice; he didn't want to confirm the time point corresponding to the time key—for Xia De, this had no meaning; anyway, the things he experienced, history definitely hadn't recorded. He just wanted the academy to check and register this key, so that the exploration of the time key could bring new practical credits.

No matter if Xia De wanted to normally promote to the junior year at the end of the year, or skip to the senior year, practical credits were the things he lacked the most.

The 【Sleeping Princess】 spirit rune directly corresponds to the fairy tale itself; although this is quite rare, and even few people in history have obtained it, the library of Saint Byrons actually recorded one of them.

This question of Xia De was eventually known to the librarian, Miss Danister. So that night, when Leciya was teaching Xia De, that page of poetry manuscript brought news from Miss Danister.

Xia De urgently arranged the ritual and went to Saint Byrons again through projection.

The Saint Byrons library in the middle of the night was still so bright and quiet; the candlelight and gas lamp light together illuminated every corner of the ancient library.

It was clearly eight o'clock in the evening, but looking at the gap between the bookshelves while sitting in a chair, one could still see many young sorcerers wearing robes flipping through books.

"Is the learning atmosphere of Saint Byrons so strong?"

Xia De asked curiously.

"Next week is the midterm assessment of the autumn semester of the Mathematics Academy; if the assessment is not passed, one cannot participate in the promotion exam at the end of the year, and the academic year evaluation will be lowered by one level. Otherwise, it is generally difficult to see so many young students at this time."

Miss Danister said with a smile.

This thirteen-ring sorceress belonging to Saint Byrons always greeted Xia De on the long sofa in the central open space of the library, so sometimes Xia De would also guess whether she would never stand up.

Miss Danister didn't know Xia De's messy thoughts; she held the black hard-covered "Canon of Sublimation" in her hand, and seeing Xia De look over, she waved her hand to let the book float in front of her, automatically flipping to the corresponding position:

"Your question is very interesting; in the construction of the Words of Sublimation, there has indeed been a phenomenon of using similar fairy tale concepts to replace the 【Sleep】 spirit rune. That was a matter of the Fifth Era, happening to the founder of the academy."

Xia De widened his eyes slightly;

"May I ask which one it is?"

He thought it was highly likely to be Miss Olanod who heard the story.

"It is the second principal of the academy; compared to the rumored Miss Mana Feilianna, there are more records about her."

"The second principal of the academy is..."

"Miss Fiona Delage."

The librarian said an unexpected name, and Xia De tried hard to control himself not to make a strange expression. If his memory wasn't confused, when he told the story from his hometown to the god, that red-haired long-tailed witch was clearly falling into a coma in an ice coffin; she shouldn't have heard the content of the story.

"Because of the limitations of the ritual, you cannot leave the seat and follow me to the deepest part of the Saint Byrons Grand Library. What is stored there is not secret forbidden knowledge, but the history of the academy. Because of the matter of Miss Feilianna appearing in Tobesk City some time ago, the academy organized professors to re-examine and search this ancient library, and we really found some secret rooms that we hadn't noticed before."

Miss Danister gently rubbed her smooth chin with her thumb:

"Some lost documents were re-found and classified, and at the same time, there were some records about the history of the school in the Fifth Era. That Principal Fiona Delage once used the 【Sleeping Princess】 spirit rune to replace the 【Sleep】 spirit rune. Of course, her Words of Sublimation were not 'The echo of time and space shakes the power of sleep,' but 'When the sleeping red dragon wakes up, all things move toward the end.'

This is a quite destructive Word of Sublimation; once opened, most witches who are also thirteen-ring cannot resist her. After all, that principal had the bloodline of the red dragon royal family..."

"Red dragon?"

Xia De expressed his doubts appropriately, so Miss Danister explained the matter of mixed-race species in the Fifth Era again. Only then did she return to the business:

"In short, 【Sleeping Princess】 replacing 【Sleep】 is a feasible plan; you don't have to worry about this point. The only thing I wonder is, how did you get such a spirit rune that matches ancient fairy tales?"

Xia De had already thought of a way to answer:

"I actually didn't get it, just felt there was this possibility. The original manuscript of "Sleeping Princess" is in the Zalas Academy of Literature; I recently met a friend from Zalas, and she has a handwritten copy of the original manuscript. After reading it, I felt a great touch. That feeling is hard to describe; it's like..."

"I understand, this shows that your compatibility with this fairy tale is very good. But it's a pity, your talent and spirit rune make you specialize in moon sorcery and the power of time and space; the fairy tale of enlightenment can only be considered as a supplement to your ring sorcerer system, and fairy tales related to the moon are more suitable for you... However, I remember another female sorcerer in your group is very good at the power of enlightening fairy tales; I remember it's called... Dorothy Louisa? You can learn from her."

Miss Danister paused and asked again:

"Speaking of which, how many are missing from your three-ring spirit runes now?"

Xia De summoned the life ring behind him, and the librarian frowned and looked at it:

"Only missing enlightenment? Your promotion speed is really fast; in the last few thousand years, you can be counted as one of the most talented students in Saint Byrons... But this is also good; the 【Guide Moon】 of the Sexes Higher Medical Academy will probably arrive at Saint Byrons at the end of this month or the beginning of next month. The higher your level, the greater the probability of success in the action. The other party has sublimated from the fourth ring to the fifth ring and can be considered a key training object of Sexes."

"This matter will not go wrong. But Miss Danister, I also want to understand, how is the school's investigation about Miss Feilianna?"

"The progress is not optimistic; recently the academy is busy with the matter of Midhillburg."

Seeing Xia De a bit confused, she didn't explain:

"If you want to get the answer to this matter, you still have to find that thirteen-ring sorcerer 【God Caller】. Our principal is already preparing to go to Mibao, carrying a level 0 relic. Hope he can meet 【God Caller】 and sit down and talk with the other party."

"The principal wants to find the God Caller?"

Xia De was very surprised, and then warned himself in his heart that if it was not necessary in this Mibao incident, he must not attract too much attention.
