Chapter 3972 The Unexpected Event at the Meeting
To prevent damage to the house, Shad attempted compound spells in room number three on the third floor, the "extra room" on the third floor. Luvia, Galina, Sylvie, and Danist were all present to prevent any problems from arising during Shad's experiment with the magic.
But the combination of sorcery and magic worked quite well; there was no dragon roar, only a glowing bubble radiating a dazzling silver light was spat out by Shad.
So both Ellie and Mia turned their attention to it with interest. Shad raised his hand and let the bubble fall into his palm, feeling the power contained within it:
"Sevier, you've really come up with a remarkable idea."
The bubble contains the full power of "Dragon's Breath - Moonlight". Once it bursts, it is equivalent to releasing a "Dragon's Breath" effect in all directions at the point where the bubble breaks. Of course, a dragon's roar will also be heard.
He sent the silver bubbles flying toward the girls, letting them feel the power within them. Luvia was very curious:
"This combination of magical techniques is very simple. If Miss Gina Rosa knew it, why didn't she tell you?"
Gina is a pure-blooded gem dragon, so there's absolutely no way she wouldn't be unaware of dragon breath. Shad then recalled his impressions of the pink dragon maid:
"I don't think it's because she forgot; more likely, Gina probably doesn't use dragon breath very often."
Although this composite technique did not enhance the power of "Dragon's Breath," its delay and controllability gave "Dragon's Breath" a wider range of possibilities, thus giving the seemingly useless spell "Bubble Spell" greater value.
After Shad's magical experiment concluded, he and Daniste went to the academy together. The magical arts, which theoretically should be learned through a nighttime ritual, were no longer a problem after Daniste summoned the Red Moon in the dark room on level 3 of the library.
This room located in the basement of the library is actually a relic—the Sage-level relic [Eternal Night Chamber]. It stays in this room permanently at night, and even underground, you can still see the starry sky and the moon outside from the room's window.
Of course, the relic's properties are also quite dangerous. Without restraint, the "night" property located indoors will continue to spread outwards, plunging more areas into "eternal night."
Shad strongly suspected that the relic was related to the "God of Night," but regardless, it was at least suitable for the current situation. However, Daniste herself had said that the study of magical arts should still follow the actual time requirements, and this was only to prevent Shad from encountering other troubles.
"After all, tonight is your time with Lacia and Dorothy. They are your only teachers tonight."
The administrator whispered, and after the ceremony, Xia De kissed her.
The learning of [Blood Moon Arc] went very smoothly. When the light of the red moon enveloped Shad, he used the blood on his left index finger to draw a crescent moon on his right palm, and then the bright red, translucent longbow appeared in his hand.
This magical technique is not universally applicable in March, and therefore can only manifest the color of a crimson moon. Moreover, the longbows summoned by Shad and Danist are different in style; the longbow in Danist's hand resembles a real crimson crescent, pure and cold.
But in Shad's hands, the blood-red longbow had a silver bowstring, and its surface was not adorned with elven moon-worshiping prayers like those of Danist, but rather with the phases of the moon changing cyclically from top to bottom. Both ends of the longbow had crescent moons, while a full moon sat at its very center.
Shade also brought the [Star Scar] longbow. When he wielded the longbow and cast spells, the new longbow that the [Star Scar] transformed into was more magnificent than a mere relic or a simple magic spell. The blood-red longbow shimmered with starlight, like a galaxy inlaid in the color of the red moon.
"Regardless of the power of this strange technique, I am at least satisfied with its appearance."
Shad said this, and Daniste looked at Shad with satisfaction:
"This is actually one of the last magical techniques my teacher taught me before he left. But let's not get into that. This magical technique isn't exclusive to the academy, so it's okay if you use it in front of the church."
Xia De then asked:
"Speaking of which, how's that 'moon egg' planted in the flowerpot doing now?"
"It's only been two days, and there's still no reaction. I water it on time every day, but isn't it a bit extravagant to mix 'Moonlight Water' into it?"
Those "moonlight waters" were all provided by Xia De, who shook his head:
"After all, it's just an experiment, and two weeks won't use up too much Moon Essence Water. Let's wait a bit longer. The experiment planted in the soil can continue until my Time Key ends, and by then I should be able to obtain other methods from the Fifth Era."
Shad spent the entire morning at the academy, but he didn't stay for lunch. When he returned home at 11:30 a.m., Luvia, who was off duty that day, was preparing lunch with Winnie. Luvia seemed to want to learn a thing or two from Winnie.
That afternoon, during a meeting with the doctor, Shad also saw Dorothy, who hadn't been seen much for a week. Dorothy had been busy with interviews that week; the local newspaper was going to promote her as "the most successful young female author of this century," which was also to coincide with the promotion of the next volume of "The Hamilton Detective Stories."
So Dorothy has been busy communicating with publishers and newspapers all week, but she said at the group meeting that yesterday's troublesome interviews and photo shoots were over and everyone would be able to see the relevant reports on Sunday.
“But Shad seems to be busier than me, priest. Before you came, Shad was telling us about his adventures this week.”
Dorothy brought up Shad again. During group meetings, Dorothy and Luvia usually sat on the sofa, while Shad, Priest Augustus, and the Doctor sat on two short sofas and a separate chair.
This time, Shad was sitting in an armchair with a cat perched on his lap.
"My adventure began on Wednesday. I arrived in Arcadia City on Wednesday night, met some local friends on Thursday, encountered a mechanical riot yesterday, and fought someone who appeared to be from the Blood Spirit School in the local park last night."
"The Blood Spirit School?"
The priest asked curiously:
"What did they do to offend you this time?"
Then, Xia De recounted his experiences over the past few days in detail. When he mentioned the "Candleburg Library," Dr. Schneider, who had spent some time in that city during his student days, also expressed his fondness for it.
Neither the priests nor the doctors had heard of anything like mechanical activation or the "Spark of Life." As for the disappearance of the vampires and the appearance of the "Giant Warriors," they saw it as a sign that Shad was about to be drawn into another major trouble.
"Perhaps when we meet again next week, the detective will announce that he has discovered some kind of ancient evil lurking in Arcadia City."
The doctor even joked, so Shad asked:
"Doctor, since I'm going to be in the area, would you like me to send a letter to some acquaintances there for you? It's just a small favor."
Judging from the doctor's expression, he must have recalled certain people and events from the past for a moment, but in the end, he shook his head.
"The last time I went to Arcadia was twenty years ago. I don't know anyone there. I did have two professors who were very close to me and admired me, but we haven't been in touch since. I'd better not write to them rashly."
Aside from the cat, who completely ignored what the doctor said, everyone present knew he was lying, but Shad didn't dwell on the topic.
"My vampire friend should be able to provide the analysis report for that corpse by tomorrow. Or, if I bring the corpse back, Luvia's divination might provide some clues. Then we'll know whether the Blood Spirit School is plotting something again."
“Detective, if you can’t communicate with each other’s souls, I can give it a try.”
The old priest, who always liked to wipe his pipe during group meetings, said this, and Shad nodded, then listened to the others talking about recent amusing incidents.
This week, everyone's life has been relatively peaceful except for Shad. Or rather, the arrival of wartime has made everyone's "ordinary professions" busier to varying degrees, so there's not much time to do anything else on weekdays.
It was now the latter half of the fourth month of 1855, and even without the doctor's reminder, everyone knew that the summer exam week was fast approaching. Therefore, this week's group meetings were mostly spent dealing with their respective college affairs.
After returning from Mount Karas, Shad and Daniste spent a lot of time catching up on missed lessons, so he doesn't currently lack many credits. Considering the group mission before the year-end holidays and the practical credits Daniste gave him after the "Mount Karas Adventure," his workload is lighter than others.
"The association allowed me to participate in the Battle of Destiny, and the college also gave me practical credits afterwards, so I have enough credits."
Luvia also announced that Dorothy, the priest, and the doctor are currently lacking practical credits. They already have enough credits if they don't skip a grade, but skipping a grade means 1.3 times more practical credits—higher-year students need even more, and the doctor is already planning the next group assignment.
"Speaking of which, will any college students come here for summer internships this year?"
The priest recalled what happened last year when Emilia and her classmates came to Tobesk, and then the unlucky elf encountered a series of accidents in the area.
The doctor shook his head:
"We'll probably get a notification next month, but if I were in charge of student affairs, I wouldn't send students to such a dangerous place as Tobeskoye again."
"Meow?"
The cat, who had been napping on Shad's lap, suddenly opened its eyes, while the doctor noticed ripples appearing on the surface of the liquid in the glass on the coffee table. And just as the doctor blinked—
Boom!
