Chapter 45 The Professors of St. Byrons

Using [Silver Moon Slash] does not require casting materials, you only need to use your limbs to draw light trails in the air. The silver light trace can be slashed forward to use it as an attack form.

Before midnight, Shade tried many times in the room with the curtains drawn, making light marks appear one after another, and then making the light marks slash forward. He was very excited. Although he had tried teleportation, echo of blood, and light spells before, [Silver Moon Slash] fit his imagination of "power" and "mystery."

It's a pity that Shade is just a beginner, he doesn't have a deep understanding of the [Silver Moon] elemental runes, and he has very little spirit, so those light marks can't even leave obvious traces on the wall.

But if you just want to hurt the fragile human body, it is enough to do it at close range.

Although the power of this thaumaturgy was mediocre for the time being, the trace of light left in the sky was extremely beautiful, even more elegant and noble than the form recorded in the book, which attracted the curious orange cat Mia.

Of course, the above four kinds of thaumaturgy from the courses are only provided by the academy for free. And if Shade wants to get more thaumaturgy from the academy, he can go to the library to inquire, and then pay to get the knowledge of those thaumaturgy.

Each professor also has a different collection of thaumaturgy and incantation, and getting high marks in their courses is also a way to get free thaumaturgy and incantation.

Regarding the college's thaumaturgy and incantation, Dr. Schneider believed that the library's price was unreasonable and that it was the college's "exploitation" of correspondence students.

Instead of buying it at the academy, Shade would buy it from the same group and local ring warlocks. The academy is only used as a channel to obtain rare magic and spells.

But no matter what, outsiders have completely stepped into the mysterious and extraordinary door of the weird steam age.

The foreigner summed up his current situation and found that what he lacked most was neither time nor experience, but gold pounds. So he became more determined to run this detective agency. This was the best way to make money that he could currently access.

"Rely on commissions to earn gold pounds, and then obtain knowledge from St. Byrons. Obtain the four-element runes and continue to advance. Even if you can't go back, you still have to witness this mysterious and magnificent world."

Because he has his own house, Shade is no longer as depressed as he was in the past few days.

As for copying books from the past world, or using the knowledge of the past world to make profits in the steam age, he can only make detailed plans after he has established a foothold here and gained more strength.

The whole day was spent playing with cats and reading books. Shade, who had mastered his first thaumaturgy, was still very happy even though he had no income today.

In this way, the night came. Looking at the clock showing that it was already eleven o'clock, Shade first locked the nocturnal orange cat Mia in the bedroom, and then moved the coffee table and sofa to make room.

Arrange the four chairs next to the dining table into the living room, use a compass to strictly correct the direction, and finally take a basin full of water and place it in the center of the four chairs.

He put on the only formal suit in the closet, closed the curtains, and turned the gas lamp in the living room to a slightly illuminated warm yellow state.

Then he sat on the chair due north, holding a match in one hand and a scroll with a list of elective courses in the other. Staring at the clock as it finally reached twelve o'clock, he quickly struck the match on the armrest of the chair.

Because of too much force, the match broke in the middle. Shade was slightly startled, and immediately took out a matchbox from his knee.

Matches from this era were not safe matches, and there was no rough area on the side of the matchbox for sliding. It is a common practice to pull out a match and light it on the ground, shoe soles, or walls.

The second match was finally lit successfully. Shade looked up at the clock and immediately lit the scroll after hearing the first bell. The parchment scroll almost caught fire at once. Seeing that the flames had appeared, he immediately threw the scroll into the water in front of him.

Although he had been prepared for a long time, Shade was still a little surprised when he saw the scroll that entered the water turning into dots of blue light scattered in the basin:

"What's this?"

As he was thinking, the woman's voice in his head unexpectedly said:

[It’s not thaumaturgy and incantation, it’s the more ancient occult power, this is some kind of ritual. 】

"ceremony?"

Without waiting for further explanation, he saw that the entire basin of water began to radiate light. There is wind blowing in the room with the windows closed at this moment. In those winds, three beams of light are projected from the basin to the east, west and south respectively.

As a result, three blue transparent human bodies gradually became clear from blur and appeared on the chair prepared by Shade. Shade even saw characters swimming in their transparent bodies, but even deciphering one of them made his head hurt, so he learned the lesson of the [Dark Box] and did not maintain that strong curiosity. .

The appearance of the three people made the room suddenly become colder.

Sitting directly across from Shade in the south was an old man wearing round glasses. He was wearing a formal black suit and was even taller than Shade. A watch chain protruded from his chest pocket and was tied to a button on his chest:

"Professor Hames Sánchez, Vice President of St. Byrons Comprehensive College, Director of Student Affairs, and School of Library Management."

Professor Sangqi introduced himself in very standard Delarian language and nodded slightly to Shade.

This name was the name given in the message, and it was this person who made the appointment with Shade through this method.

Sitting on the chair in the east is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties, thin but with a determined expression. The same black formal suit is paired with a white shirt. On the buttons on the cuffs is the school badge of Byrons Comprehensive College and books locked in chains.

His ears seem to be a little pointed, different from normal people:

"Associate Dean of History, Professor Hessenger Garcia."

His Delrayon language is obviously not as good as Professor Sanchez's standard. In today's world, the southern Kasonlik language and the northern Delrayon language are widely spoken. Perhaps Professor Garcia was originally from the south.

The last person sitting on the Western chair is a beautiful lady with curly hair in her thirties. She wears a monocle in her right eye, wears a common blue female clerk's uniform, and holds a writing pad and pen in her hand.

He nodded to Shade in a friendly manner and spoke less solemnly than the two professors:

"I am Lux Jones from the college secretariat. According to regulations, when college professors communicate with correspondence ring magicians in non-teaching situations, a secretary from the secretariat must record the conversation and archive it. This is to protect you and St. Byron. Si’s secret.”

"I understand, Professor Sanchez, Professor Garcia, Miss Jones, good evening... Do you want hot tea? The black tea I have here is very good."

After being slightly surprised, Shade said politely to the three transparent figures. I wondered if this ritual was similar to the principle of a projector. The cold atmosphere at this moment showed that perhaps the original function of the ceremony was not to hold meetings remotely.
