Miss Danister had no special reason to look for Shade this time, she just wanted to ask about his progress in collecting spiritual light.
In fact, Shad had made no progress at all, but at least he had established a relationship with Princess Margaret and had established a relatively friendly relationship with Sir Priss in the reading salon.
The Thirteen Rings Sorceress was somewhat dissatisfied with Shade's progress, but she also understood his difficulties, so she did not push him too much.
Instead, Shade asked a question and got a surprising answer:
"Miss Danister, when I was doing background research, I found that Sir Priss's family is quite old. It is rumored that many years ago, it was a well-known family of ring sorcerers. I wonder if this is true."
"Yes."
The lady on the sofa nodded. Although it was already late at night, the St. Byrons Library was not quiet at all tonight. The Sleeping Month was the last month of the year. As the exam week approached, the students of the college were also seizing the remaining time of the year to supplement the final knowledge for the most important upgrade exam at the end of the year.
The library even lit up more lights for this purpose. At this time, the huge star map above was emitting a soft light. Above the rows of bookshelves, golden candlesticks were suspended in the air in an orderly manner, holding candles. It seemed that many people could not fall asleep tonight.
"In fact, many contemporary surnames with a long history had their own glory in the last century or even earlier."
Miss Danister was not at all surprised by Shade's question. She seemed a little lazy:
"When I was doing a background check on Laijins Prisha, I looked up their family history. Before Laijins Prisha, the last ring sorcerer who existed was born about 300 years ago, but he did not join the church or the three major colleges. He unfortunately died in the relic loss of control incident when he was in the second ring."
She shook her fingers and poured her some black tea in the white porcelain teapot with gold and silver decorations in the shape of a stretched mandala flower:
"Going back further, a ring sorcerer is born about every three or four hundred years. Although the probability is a bit higher, it is not too exaggerated. If we trace it back to the Fifth Era, there are many seemingly true but false news. If you are interested, I can tell you about it, but I don't think it will help your mission. Besides, most of the rumors from the previous era are not true."
"If it's convenient, you can tell me about it."
Shade pretended to be quite curious, and Miss Danister nodded:
"The knowledge you are exposed to now has already involved alien species such as elves, mermaids, and blood-sucking species. Although these alien creatures no longer appear in human society in the Sixth Era, at least in the early Fifth Era, intermarriage between humans and alien creatures was still a very common thing. According to legend, the Prisha family has alien blood, and the blood comes from the feathered race. Yes, it is a race with a strong curiosity but a weak mental endurance."
"Feathered Man..."
"Of course, there is another theory that the magical bloodline of the Prisha family comes from an even more ancient era. They inherited the power of an angel, but because the time interval is too long, the power of the bloodline has long disappeared... In addition to the winged people and angels, there are even stranger rumors, but I don't think we need to waste time on those stories."
The sorceress held the teacup and looked at Shade:
"Due to trade negotiations, Margaret Anjou and her delegation will probably extend their visit to Tobesk, but will also return to Carsenrick before the end of the year. You need to complete your mission before then."
"In one week, I will bring the spiritual light."
Shade said that he had to test Sir Prisha's attitude towards the chosen one and the poem within a week. During this period, he must contact the other party, so he must complete:
"But I need more information. Does Sir Kings Prisher have any extraordinary talents? In the worst case, I might have to fight him."
"I got the news from the Sexus Higher Medical School that he has a talent for studying, and his ringmaster level is improving very quickly..."
He paused and glanced at Shade:
"Of course, he can't compare with a true genius like you. Legins Prisha is extremely proficient in the power of the element of enlightenment, especially the power related to knowledge and books. But I don't know the more specific system of the ring wizard. After all, he is just a correspondence student, and Serksais himself may not know all of his abilities."
Xia De nodded:
"I also made some discoveries. I'm very close to Kings Prisha and Apner Library."
He did not directly say that the other party was an academic spy.
Miss Danister thought for a moment:
"This involves Serksais's own business. We don't have to care about it."
It seems that Sexis himself also has doubts. After all, St. Byrons can suspect Dorothy, and there is no reason why the Higher Medical School, which is one of the three major colleges, would not notice a real academic spy.
"Also, if I gain spiritual enlightenment and can really help us crack the secret of that book and find the location of the Silver Moon Library, then how can I come to Saint Byrons?"
Shade asked again, the projection state would weaken the aura, and the real aura could not be illuminated in the secret black book. He also had the idea of coming to Saint Byrons in person to find the last stone tablet that recorded the knowledge of time amplification.
"If it is really appropriate to come to Kings Prisha's aura, I will carry the book to Tobesk myself."
The thirteenth ring sorceress said in a relaxed tone, and Shade was stunned for a moment before he reacted:
"What?"
The only thing he didn't think of was this possibility.
"You are all in Tobesk, why don't I go over there? Besides, there have been some problems in your city recently. The college has already sent several professors, and I can apply to be the second batch to go."
Her eyes studied Xia De's expression:
"In the fall, Principal Pigman also went to the city under the jurisdiction of the church for some matters. It's no problem for me to apply to support him this time."
"Um... ... "
This does sound like a good idea, but it is not a good idea for Shad. He wanted to object, but the reasons given by Miss Danister were so impeccable that he couldn't figure out how to object after thinking for a long time.
"In short, the most important task at the moment is to collect spiritual light."
So the sorceress said, and Shade nodded. Even though the stone tablet representing the "Red Moon" has not been unlocked, he must not stop looking for the last stone tablet suspected to be in St. Byrons. Even if he didn't have the opportunity to go to St. Byrons this time, if he really helped Miss Danister find the Silver Moon Library, he offered to help him come to St. Byrons in person again to "feel the atmosphere of the school", and the thirteenth ring lady would definitely not object.
After discussing these matters, Xia De was ready to say goodbye, but hesitated and asked again:
"Ma'am, I actually have another question."
Miss Danister smiled and nodded:
"Is it an academic question? Feel free to ask. Although I am not in charge of your history school courses, I am also a tenured professor at St. Byron's."
Shade shook his head:
"It's not an academic issue. The thing is, I bought an old book at the local black market a few days ago. It mentioned a name from the Fifth Age. I wanted to ask if you know that person."
"What's the name?"
"Schulze Therese."
This name was mentioned when Shade and Miss Carina were talking about the key of the year 5177 of the Fifth Era. At that time, Miss Carina was mainly concerned about Miss Violet, so she didn't pay too much attention to this inconspicuous tenth-level witch.
At this time, the adventure of 5177 has come to an end. If nothing unexpected happens, Miss Violet, the witch emperor who is extravagant but surprisingly reliable in some aspects, and Miss Theresa, who works hard for her graduation thesis but actually has a strong character, will never appear in the life of the outsider again.
"This name is very common. Are there any other clues? For example, the era in which he lived, or the great things he did."
Miss Danister asked slowly, and Shade nodded:
"The owner of this name probably lived in the late Fifth Epoch. He was a student at the Serkses Higher Medical School and a distant relative of a certain Witch Emperor."
Miss Danister frowned and thought:
"I remember that there is indeed one person who fits your description, but your description is too broad. At the end of the Fifth Era, Serksais was already one of the largest thaumaturgy schools, with countless ring sorcerers graduating. And the distant relatives of the Witch Emperors are too numerous to count, just like the 'distant relatives' of the contemporary royal family can almost cover all the nobles."
She waved her hand, and three seconds later, a red-covered book flew into her hands from the gap between the distant bookshelves. Miss Danister opened the book, and then gently pushed it, and the book slid in the air towards Shade:
"Schultz Theresa was the president of the Sexess Higher Medical School for 20 years at the end of the Fifth Epoch. Due to the loss of information caused by the changes in the Epoch, even the Sexess Higher Medical School itself cannot clearly explain the specific life story of this lady."
Among the pages of the book unfolded in front of Xia De, the description of "Schulze Therese" only occupies half a page on the right side. The text is not dense and simply describes the information that can still be found today.
As Shad read, Miss Danister continued:
"We no longer know which Witch Emperor's distant relative she is, but it is said that she was blessed by the gods and possesses extremely high wisdom."
“So, she graduated successfully.”
Xia De sighed quietly in his heart, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he took the book and put it on the coffee table:
"This shouldn't be the lady whose name I saw. The description I saw... She is just a girl who follows her aunt around, hates writing papers, and has ordinary talents."
Xia De hoped that when he said this, there wouldn't be too much sadness on his face:
"Good-bye then, Miss Danister...see you in a week."
"See you in a week. Good luck with your operation. If you need any help, feel free to contact me. Finding the Silver Moon Library is very important to all of us."
The sorceress said, watching Shade stand up and disappear into the chair opposite:
"Schulze Therese..."
Looking at the black tea in the white porcelain teacup:
"The demigod who has completed the thirteenth-level secret art 'Undead Witch', Schultz Violet Theresa."
She muttered softly, imagining the power of the great witches of the previous era.
After sipping the tea, he looked up at the silver-blue star disk above his head, which also indicated the time:
"It's already this time."
He put down his teacup and called the students over, asking the elf girl in robes to ring the golden bell at the entrance of the library. The clear sound of the bell spread throughout the brightly lit library, throughout the castle complex and spires of St. Byrons in the silver-clad Far North night, and throughout the huge city built on St. Byrons, which shone brightly on the Far North snowfield.
Elves playing lyre in the night forest, mermaids playing in the half-frozen lake, winged people playing in the snowy sky, vampires illegally trading pig blood in the narrow alleys of the western steam city, dwarves playing Rhodes in the medieval fantasy tavern, humans in college uniforms sitting on benches by the fountain in the central college square and talking about love, half-dragon maids cleaning the top of the eastern clock tower, liches shaking test tubes and doing experiments with undead apprentices in the cemetery, centaurs checking the sleep of chocobos at night in the northern grasslands, fey semi-mechanical creatures maintaining steam pipe lines in the sewers... ... countless people heard the spreading bell.
The blizzard was raging outside the transparent membrane layer outside the city, and the rolling snow-capped mountains looked like a crawling beast in the night. Although the scenery in the far north was magnificent, the curfew time for the lower grade students was approaching. If they could not return to the dormitory in time, they would be deducted points. The bell of St. Byron's Library was also a pause for the arrival of the late night in this academy city. The librarian was also one of the controllers of this city.
St. Byron's College represents not only the college itself, but also a home in the Far North where alien creatures, humans, and all kinds of wonderful life coexist.
The night is deep and March is bright. The city that was built by the demigod witch Mana Filianna and is located on the Arctic ice cap and has inherited two eras has ushered in a new peaceful night in this blizzard.
