Iluna snuggled up to Shade by the fire, which made the eighteen-year-old girl feel at ease and a little happy at the same time:
“Shad, all of the above is just everyone’s speculation, but this is all we can do here.
Exploring this castle, which is mostly submerged in water, is not easy. Our progress is slow. We have only checked the third, fourth and fifth floors of the building above water, and found these.”
While the werewolf girl was distributing food and clean drinking water to everyone, Shade checked the four girls' current gains. It was not a stone tablet or magical prop engraved with important clues, but four rectangular stone slabs the size of letter paper.
Although the materials of the four slabs are slightly different, they feel very similar to the touch. The white-grey color easily reminds people of the glowing ashes floating in the sky.
“Speaking of which, will those ashes pose an environmental hazard?”
Shade suddenly asked. The werewolf girl, who had just wiped the apple on her skirt and was about to open her mouth, quickly took the red apple away from her mouth. Her ears slightly pricked up and she looked at Shade's face in the firelight:
"Miss Wilder said that although the ashes have physical entities, they are essentially a phenomenon of time and space."
The green dragon girl, who was gracefully manipulating the pots and pans that Shade brought to prepare a meal, nodded:
"I have never come across such a strange space. I only heard my teacher talk about similar situations before. This space is not just a chaotic time. Its own disordered time flow is also accelerating the decay and collapse of everything in it.
To put it simply, those ashes represent the collapse of time. Although the impact on those of us who are resistant to time is not significant, it is obvious that the collapse of this castle is strongly related to it. I suggest that you do not come into contact with those ashes for a long time. "
The green dragon girl has beautiful emerald eyes, and she seems to also have the gift of time:
"Although I haven't been taught by anyone here like in the secret records, I have gained a lot from these ashes. It is difficult to find other places where I can come into contact with such a strange phenomenon. I want to use this to develop a secret technique based on time collapse, so that this trip will not be in vain!"
Perhaps because of the strength of her race, she was in the best mental state among the four girls present. And maybe it was because of the blessing of the fourth son of the dragon, "All mortal dragons will know your nobility", although she was alert just now, she was not at all shy with Shade when she spoke:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Hamilton, are you a dragonborn? I smell the scent of a dragon on you. What kind of dragon are you?"
"Don't question my friend like that, Miss Wilder, Shad is a human!"
Iluna immediately hugged Shade's arm and said, and the green dragon girl gave her a suspicious look.
There were four small stone tablets, all of which had one side blank and the other side with text and patterns, but the contents of the four stone tablets were different. The four girls had obviously checked them, so they didn't care how Shade would manipulate them.
Miss Green Dragon and Miss Metz were busy cooking over the campfire. With the food, everyone wanted to have something hot. Miss Green Dragon even made some black tea. After Miss Werewolf finished eating the red apple, she continued to sort out the supplies that Shade had brought out.
Iluna didn't want to move at first, but seeing that everyone was busy, she felt embarrassed to just lean on Shade, so she took the initiative to help Miss Bist pack up.
Five minutes later, the hot chicken rice was ready. Combined with the sauce that Xia De brought, the smell was so fragrant that even Xia De, who had just had breakfast, could smell it.
Because Xia De was here, even if the girls were very hungry, they would sit by the fire and eat their meals in small and reserved bites. So Xia De asked again:
“Have you read all four books?”
"Book?"
Four pairs of eyes looked at Shade from the heat:
"What books? Wait, are you saying that these four slabs are books?"
Miss Metz, who was the first to arrive here, asked in surprise. Shade nodded:
"Of course. I know some secrets of the First Age. In order to preserve precious books for a longer time, some technology was usually used to make the books like this. These stone slabs are actually the covers.
I have had the privilege of coming into contact with precious documents from the First Age, and that feeling is the same as that of the ancient books. No, no, you don’t have to give up your job. I mean, the manufacturing technology of these books is consistent with those ancient books. These four books themselves are definitely not the product of the First Age. "
Because they did not trigger Shad's magic "Ancient Voice", and the knowledge about ancient books came from the Dead Valley - Gadis Library more than 722 years ago, when Shad came into contact with "Yeger Scroll" and "Unknown Sacrifice Book" (Chapter ).
"I remember you mentioned this before."
Iluna, who was huddled beside Shade with a bowl of rice in her hand, said:
"It seems that you have to read the names on the books in order to open them."
"Yes."
After asking for the opinions of the four girls, Xia De read out the words on the four slabs:
"The first one is "Ancestral Wolf", then "The Shining Sun" and "The Blessing of Books", and finally "Delicious Black Tea and Dessert Making"? "
As soon as he finished speaking, the four stone slabs that Shade had placed in front of the fire glowed at the same time. After a moment, the warm firelight illuminated the four rolls of parchment, and judging by the weight, each roll of parchment contained a lot of content.
The four books were all ordinary items. They flew up as soon as Shade raised his hand. Seeing that the girls holding their bowls were still looking at him, he made a small deduction:
"Assuming that these four books correspond to the four of you who came here in the academy uniforms, then "The Ancestral Wolf" is obviously related to Miss Bister."
The first parchment flew to the werewolf, and then the second one flew to Iluna:
"The Shining Sun belongs to Iluna, and then there's The Blessing of Books."
This name is not very recognizable, but Shad has seen Luvia use this magic in the Randall Valley before (Chapter 1320), which is a defensive magic.
While he was hesitating, the human witch Miss Metz whispered:
"This should be related to me. I am proficient in the secrets of knowledge and inheritance."
So when the third parchment flew towards her, everyone looked at the green dragon girl, who also realized something and said with her neck tilted up:
"Making tea and snacks delicious is, of course, a remarkable ability. Don't look down on this ability. A capable girl should have her own secret recipe for tea and snacks."
She said something that no one quite understood, but at least Shade knew that the green dragon girl would not be disappointed with this knowledge.
"So, is this what we came here for?"
They didn't rush to look through the books but continued to eat. Iluna expressed her doubts at the right time:
"After we learn what is in these books, can we leave here?"
"It shouldn't be that simple. This is a so-called college, not a library. I still stick to my point of view. We need to find a teacher and have a class environment to complete the course."
The green dragon girl said, and the others agreed with her. If these four books can be considered "textbooks", then they are undoubtedly one step closer to achieving their goal.
"We may be able to leave this way, but what about this gentleman? He doesn't have a college uniform. How is he going to leave here?"
The werewolf girl was still concerned about this, but Shade signaled that she didn't need to worry:
"I came here in a different way than you, and my method of leaving is also different. But are you sure you haven't seen anyone else here, teacher?"
The task given by Treefather indicated that the "Lord of Black Robe" should be nearby. But since Iluna and the other three said that he was not there, then maybe the first thing Shade needed to do this time was to find that god.
Although the girls' exploration of the area was not sufficient, at least there were some clues left for Shade to investigate. That was mentioned by the werewolf Miss Bister. In fact, she was the highest-level witch here. Although she was only at the eleventh level, she could be called a true genius from her age:
"There is a passage on the second floor of the building that is flooded, which leads to the first floor. This is the only passage we have found to the first floor. The outdoor waters are very dangerous and we basically do not enter them. The indoor waters are better.
But the passage on the second floor is very narrow and cannot be easily expanded. Miss Metz said there is a risk of collapsing the entire building. The four of us are not big enough to pass through there, and space movement is prohibited underwater. The material of this castle itself strictly prohibits penetrating walls and turning rocks into mud. "
She ate her meal and gestured as she spoke:
"But after I turned into a wolf, I was able to get down through the hole. However, Miss Maze couldn't explain what was in the water below, so she forbade me to do so alone. We never explore alone."
Xia De then became excited:
"I am also quite proficient in Transfiguration. I can turn into a cat and go with you."
He stood up as he spoke. Although he unexpectedly met Iluna during this journey, he obviously couldn't waste time easily:
"Ms. Bister, please take me to have a look. If possible, we will go to the first floor to investigate the clues. You should finish your meal first. We will set off after you are full."
"No, no, we can go now. Please wait for me for a moment."
She pushed all the food in the bowl into her mouth at once. The girl with wolf ears puffed up her cheeks like a hamster and chewed a few times, then swallowed all the food with a gulp.
"Okay, let's go now."
"I'll go with you too. Although I can't get down to the first floor, I can wait for you at the entrance of the passage in the water."
The green dragon girl put down her bowl and said this. Of course, Iluna would not stay:
"I'll follow you, or you'll be left alone in the water on the second floor. Ms. Maze, then I'll ask you to stay and take care of the luggage and the bonfire. We'll be back soon."
