, whispering canto

Doctor Schneider did not approach the Jazz, but relied on Shad's body to block the opponent's sight, and rushed directly to the east of the garden where the devil disappeared. Xia De met Rakins Priscia head-on, and at the same time that the opponent's life ring that was about to disappear just now reappeared, Xia De stopped at a position less than five meters away from the opponent.

This distance means that the two sides are quite close. Shade took out Miss Dennist's alchemy tool in one hand and aimed it at the life ring behind Sir Priscia. Slash forward with a moonlight slash:

"Sir, don't move."

Xia De said, calculating the time in his mind, Miss Daniste's alchemy props will last for thirty seconds to complete the collection of aura.

Facing the small mirror in the hands of strangers, Sir Priscia, who was a ring magician, was of course extremely nervous. The rune of the life ring on his back is full of light, which is more conducive to Xia De's collection.

"and who are you?"

The Jazz asked, his eyes glanced at the [Sage Pyroxene] left by the demon on the ground. Xia De is far away from Pyroxene, because the direction he rushed out of the grass and the direction where the demon stood just now have an obtuse arc:

"It doesn't matter who I am, I just want to make sure you don't disturb my companion's next move."

Xia De said, shaking the mirror in his hand:

"It's a powerful relic, but it won't hurt you, just make sure you don't move around."

In fact, the mirror has no attack power at all.

Lykins Priscia looked at him suspiciously:

"I didn't expect so many strange people to appear tonight, but I have to admit that your moonlight is quite pure. Coincidentally, I am also good at moonlight thaumaturgy."

He kicked abruptly, and the bright yellow blade flew along the ground. But at the same time, Xia De also kicked, the "Moonlight Slash" representing the silver moonlight and the "Moonlight Slash" representing the yellow moonlight met between the two, and almost completely canceled each other.

But Shad didn't use all his strength, and Sir Priscia only made a tentative shot. Both of them had figured out the other's attitude, so neither of them made any further moves. After forty seconds passed, Shad made a gesture of please, and Sir Priscia reached out to let the demon stay behind. The pyroxene flew into his hand, then turned and left from the other direction.

He didn't have to worry that Xia De would reveal his secrets, after all, Xia De didn't look like a decent person who would be believed by the church at this time, and the demon just now didn't reveal any of his secrets.

"He still took the pyroxene, and now he has three pieces in his hand. The devil said, this person has done wrong things for the desire of knowledge... He rejected the devil, but he also has secrets, is he a good person or a bad person? Sure enough, we still need to investigate.”

Xia De thought in his heart, watching Jazz's figure disappear into the garden:

"That demon gains power by provoking people's desires, so no matter whether Sir Priscia accepts its power or not, the demon has already profited from the moment he picked up that piece of pyroxene."

[Guess what knowledge the devil gave him? 】

"The knowledge of the chosen one, and it's incomplete. If you want more, you can only go to the devil again."

Xia De thought in his heart, looked at the small mirror in his hand, and smiled at the corner of his mouth. After putting away the mirror, just as he was about to find Dr. Schneider, the doctor walked out of the grass by himself.

There are blades of grass hanging on his body, and he looks slightly injured. His right eye seems to have been punched, and his coat is covered with mud and muddy water from melted snow:

"No problem!"

Dr. Schneider looked happier than Shad:

"With the mark on it, it won't be able to escape. Xia De, wait for my good news before next Monday, it won't be able to escape!"

"Jazz left too."

Xia De glanced back at the direction the other party left:

"Doctor, do you want to return to the banquet with me? Or leave now?"

"Leaving now will be very conspicuous, I will stay for a while."

The doctor smiled and said:

"I'll just find a corner and have a few glasses of wine. Tonight is really smooth, there are no major accidents, Xia De, when this matter is over, you must have a drink or two with me. However, the conversation we heard just now Just pretend you haven’t heard it, and don’t get involved in this kind of thing. But I never thought that such an elegant person like Sir Priscia would have secrets... Wisdom makes people greedy, and knowledge is what one desires. Seeking knowledge is the original sin of mankind."

The doctor in a good mood sighed, and Xia De also nodded. In fact, the doctor didn't understand at all what the news they heard just now meant.

Although Xia De is eager to go home at this moment and tell Miss Daniste the good news, but Dr. Schneider is right, leaving at this time will be very conspicuous.

So he and the doctor returned to the banquet hall one after the other, and nothing special happened after this banquet. But when the banquet was about to end, the two witches called Xia De to the top and asked him about the devil again. It's not for the wise man Pyroxene of [Prank Boy], but for Shade's safety.

Now Rakins Priscia has three pyroxenes in his hands, Xia De and Iluna have two in total, and other forces in the city, even the three major academies that have entered the local area but haven't shown up yet, may also have them.

The story of the fourth candidate seemed to be coming to an end, and Xia De hoped that this matter would not delay his end-of-year exam.

The banquet, where nothing seemed to happen, ended at ten o'clock in the evening, and the guests left in an orderly manner.

Although it was late when he got home, Xia De still didn't forget to write a letter excitedly and passed it to Miss Dennister through the poem manuscript.

The matter of collecting the "Guiding Moon" aura cannot be known by the academy, so Xia De very tactfully stated in the letter that the academy bounty he received from Miss Daniste had made significant progress.

He thought it was so late, the sorceress with the thirteen rings should have rested, and she would probably reply to him tomorrow morning. Unexpectedly, less than 30 seconds after the letter was written and sent away, a new letter was sent:

[Prepare for the projection ceremony, see me in five minutes. 】

If it weren't for the additional preparations required for the projection ceremony, she might have made Shad appear immediately.

In short, Shad, who arranged the ceremony with the help of Dorothy, went to the St. Byrence Library again that night.

But after the ceremony started this time, he found that the position he was in was not the position facing the sofa in the central open space of the library, but an ancient room that had never been there before.

It is said to be ancient because the traces of time on the stone bricks on the walls seem to be left over from the last century, and the lighting here actually relies on torches and old-fashioned kerosene lamps.

The room was not big, about the size of Shad's master bedroom. Surrounded by bookshelves made of gray stone bricks, the ground is a long uneven stone floor, and some very old cabinets are placed around the room.

The projection state does not have a complete sense of smell and touch, but Xia De can almost imagine the corruption and coldness of this environment.

In addition to the unexpected environment, the other two of the four seats required for the projection ceremony are not for students to help this time, but for two puppets in worn-out long dresses, one red and one blue. When facing them, the puppet turned its head "shyly".

In short, it still seems to be a part of the library, but it is obviously not a place where ordinary students should come.

The kerosene lamps and torches were dimmed, and Miss Dennister, who was sitting across from Shad, looked at him, suppressing the impatience in her heart:

"Aura has been collected?"

"Yes, done tonight. How am I supposed to get that mirror to St. Byrence?"

In order to prevent being discovered by the academy, the mirror cannot pass through the pages of poetry manuscripts in and out of Xia De's hand.

A smile appeared on the face of the sorceress for a moment, but she controlled the expression very well:

"I'll give you an address. Tomorrow you mail the mirror still in the box... No, no, tomorrow morning, someone will come to you in person to pick up the mirror. Very good, Mr. Hamilton , you did a great job!"

She seemed to be unable to control her emotions, her face was flushed, and her tone became more eager unconsciously:

"I thought there would be some twists and turns, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon..."

bit his lip:

"Very good, you are better than I thought."

Although Xia De didn't think it was a difficult task, being praised at this moment still made him feel good:

"Speaking of which, here is..."

"Oh, this is the underground area of ​​the library."

Miss Daniste said with a smile that the sorceress in a good mood wouldn't mind telling Shad something he wasn't supposed to know:

"I don't even dare to say how many books are in the college library. Some dangerous books are not suitable for students, and some are not suitable for anyone at all. So at the beginning of the library~ lightnovelpub.net~ The original administrator and Principal Mana Feilianna designed the area for storing banned books, and the area and number of banned books have always been a secret. I was looking for something here just now, thinking It is a waste of time to return to the ground from the restricted area, so the projection ceremony was arranged directly here."

"The restricted area of ​​the library can be penetrated by the projection ceremony?"

"Of course not, but I'm a librarian and I have authority."

The sorceress laughed, then pointed around:

"It's very dangerous here, even more dangerous than the area where the relics are stored in the Library Management Institute. When you become an administrator in the future, I will tell you what is here."

Xia De is not very concerned about the value here, he is actually wondering if the last stone tablet containing the time perception enhancement ritual is in these restricted areas.

"You did a good job in this matter. Regardless of whether the aura is useful or not, I will help you meet the practical credits you need to skip a level."

Miss Dennist said, seeing Xia De carefully observing the surroundings, she said again:

"Is there any knowledge you want? Or an expensive thaumaturgy? Ask me now. As an administrator, I still have this kind of authority."

Xia De raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized something. On the premise that the first two stone slabs have already been obtained, he does not have to be afraid of other accidents at all. In fact, he just proposed to trade the slates directly to this lady.

At first, he didn't tell Miss Daniste about it because Shade didn't know the specific shape of the stone slab he was looking for, and he obviously couldn't say "God left me a stone slab". But now, he doesn't need to describe the function and history, he already knows the specific appearance of the last slate.
