Chapter 06: A Storm in a Teapot
Soon, news of a large number of sorcerers taking leave spread throughout the Academy of Magic. Even the magic apprentice who didn't have a class that morning knew.
In fact, to be precise, it is not a lot, and the end result is all.
Why, because the secret of Krimasa's magic was successfully obtained, which was undoubtedly the greatest event in the history of blood elf magic for thousands of years. It may even be the biggest event in 10,000 years since the end of the Tertiary Period.
What could be more important than cracking the mysteries of Klima magic?
No. Therefore, the magicians who were not allowed to go to Giant Snake City were very depressed. At this time, you want them to clean up their minds and come to class?
Don't even think about it.
Bernice had no choice but to let it go.
Before, she had even thought about convincing the remaining magicians to take additional classes, after all, she didn't know why the magicians were suddenly recruited en masse. Now it seems that it would be good to be able to keep the original course, and don't even think about mentioning it.
Okay, this means that the "bear boys" of the whole school are starting to loosen their restraints.
What can a group of idle magicians cause?
We'll see, Bernice is pessimistic anyway.
The Dean was gone, and the Wizarding Council was gone overnight, without even telling Bernice why she was leaving. All of a sudden, Bernice, who was originally just an auxiliary manager, was upgraded to the highest person in charge of the entire magic academy. Unfortunately, she still doesn't know that the reason why all of them left was because of the mysteries of Krimartha's magic, and that they were going to the newly established magic academy in Mega Snake City.
Oh yes, Angel knows, thanks to his mentor with a big mouth. Although he was completely unaware of what a big deal it was. After all, no matter how important it is, it has nothing to do with him.
Angel is the most pragmatic.
......
On the first day of the magicians' departure, although there was a lot of rumors in the academy, everything was normal. And nothing strange happened.
The day after the magicians left, the students were still in a state of confusion. Still nothing strange happened.
The third day of the magicians' departure...... The students seemed to react.
Specifically, someone picked the door lock in the middle of the night and snuck into the laboratory......
When the members of the Vascular Management Committee, including Angel, arrived, they saw a blackened laboratory.
Looking at the messy laboratory, the president's face changed, "Check, find out who it is...... Gotta find out!"
"But, how do you check? We don't have any clues. One member of the Conservation Committee hesitated: "The lack of clues means that we don't know where to start." β
"Can't you check without a clue?"
"It's going to be very hard ......"
One by one, the members of the Vascular Council bowed their heads.
"Angel. The president looked at Angel and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
After thinking about it, Angel replied softly: "You can start with the content of the experiment and find out what experiment he did first." In this way, the materials needed and the relevant knowledge needed can be listed one by one. Then we can look up the library's borrowing history. In this way, the scope is narrowed. β
The scumbags were stunned when they heard it, which touched their knowledge blind spots.
"It's up to you, Angel. If successful, I will claim a bonus for you. β
"Approximately. Angel asked bluntly.
was asked like this, and the president was a little confused. He really didn't expect Angel to be so direct, so he could only say hesitantly: "It's probably between two hundred and five hundred silver shells, it depends on how much the academy is willing to approve." β
"Okay, I'll take over this task. Angel replied with a smile.
"Are you really going to take on this mission?" the devil whispered in Angel's ear.
"Of course, why don't I take it when I can make more money? and with the time I should have spent in the maintenance committee. Equivalent to an additional income. Maybe there are other benefits. β
"But look at the look in their eyes. β
Following the devil's point, Angel looked at the members of the Vascular Council not far away.
At this moment, the president was reprimanding them, and there were passing magic apprentices outside the laboratory. The members of the Vascular Council kept their heads down, but their eyes were fixed on Angel.
"To be honest, I'm not very in favor of you taking on this task. They will hate you. The Vascular Council is a hated organization. β
"It doesn't matter, I don't care about being hated. Let's get back to the point, is there anything you can do to help me with this?" Angel crouched down, reaching out to touch the ashes on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he shrank back, took out the handkerchief he was carrying with him, wrapped it, and then wiped it lightly, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.
"Dark experiments. β
"I don't need to say it, I can feel this directly. β
"There is a magic array under the ash, although it has been damaged, but it can still be seen that it is a magic array of the summoning system. β
"I can see it too. And then what?"
"And then, whatever, and then, start looking. β
"I thought you were the devil and could always help me with something. β
"I'm sorry, I can't help you. β
The logic of the investigation is not difficult, but the difficult thing is the workload.
Yes, workload.
The world of magic, that is the vast ocean of knowledge. There are too many magic books in the Academy of Magic alone. Proofreading one by one, this is not an easy task.
After a moment of silence, Angel stood up and walked over to the president, and then said, "President, I need a little support. β
"What is needed, you say. β
"I need people. β
"Yes, I'll send it to you. β
"No, I need specific people. β
"Uh...... Specific?"
Angel said, "I want Mosalili. It's the same girl I ran with last time, is that okay?"
The president was a little confused. After thinking about it, he replied, "I understand what you mean, yes." But she will have to wait until her next election before she can officially join the company. I can guarantee her election. The premise is that you find out the matter perfectly. At the same time, all the help she gives you during this period is obligatory. I don't know if she could agree. β
"She'll agree. Angel replied with a smile.
......
Half an hour later, Angel was already standing downstairs in the dormitory where Mosalili lived. The address was found on the form on which she filed her application for election.
"Why did you choose her?"
"Because I can't think of anyone else, and I think she'll listen to me. β
"Okay, that's a good reason. Maybe you need some friends. β
Angel was silent for a moment before he said to the devil, "I don't think I need it. Making friends is tiring and takes up a lot of my time. I shouldn't be wasting time on that kind of thing. β
After a few more moments, Moshalili finally came downstairs, dressed in a blue magic apprentice's robe and armed with a wand. He also wears a wide, pointed hat. Then Angel's eyes are shining.
On the balcony on the third floor, there was a circle of girls from the Academy of Magic watching from afar.
"I'm ready, Angel! I mean...... Thank you for recommending me to the President! Thank you very much!"
"Let's go, we probably won't have time to sleep tonight. I hope to get things sorted out in two days. β
"Okay!"
Soon, they were in the library.
The library of the Academy of Magic is the busiest place in the Academy of Magic at night except for the dormitory area.
Of course, the word "lively" may not be appropriate. I just want to say that there are a lot of people here. Although there are a lot of scumbags in the Academy of Magic, there are also a lot of top students. There are even more people who soak in the library every day.
Walking past rows of study desks and through rows of towering bookshelves, Angel finally came to a sign that read "No Idlers Free".
Dark Library.
Blood elves generally believe that magic, especially dark magic, corrupts people's minds, and dark spirit magic is even more so. Therefore, all dark magic books are placed in a separate section, and students are not allowed to view them unless they have special needs.
Angel silently handed over the credentials of his members of the Vascular Society, and then attached a letter of entrustment for the Vascular Society's access to dark books.
The senior magic apprentice sitting on the high place in charge of the supervision looked down, then gently patted the bell on his desk.
Suddenly, the blue circle of light that shrouded the entrance vanished.
Angel walked in with Moshalili.
A huge room appeared in front of Angel and Moshalili, rows of books, all six meters high, piled high with various books. Each one is black, as if it were a series.
"It's the first time I've been here......" Mosali was stunned.
"Is this one of your plans? Normally, you may not be able to get in at all. The devil asked.
"No, it's just a temporary idea. I feel like I might need to leave this mandate with me so I can get in here as often as I can. I just don't know how long it will last. Or...... I can run for office and become the next president. If the president has the power to enter this library......" Turning his face sideways, Angel took out a note and handed it to Mosalili, saying, "This is the approximate composition, follow this to find it." Focus on summoning magic. β
"Okay. Moshalili nodded.
......
The work of consulting the classics is boring and tedious. Especially when you need to find your target in a limited amount of time. You can only look at the ingredients that have been identified over and over again, and then desperately search through one book after another. It's not even time to see the content.
Even the most studious students can get sleepy.
For example, Moshalili is the case.
She persevered, persevered, until five o'clock in the morning, when she fell asleep on the table.
When she woke up, it was already dawn. Sunlight streamed in obliquely through the glass window at the top of the library, reflecting the room of only two people.
Angel sat next to her, leisurely flipping through the books, so slow that he didn't look like he was looking for something, but just reading.
"I'm sorry! I accidentally fell asleep! I ......" Mo Shalili was so frightened that she quickly stood up, then turned around and left: "I'll look for it right now!"
"No need. Angel stopped Mo Shalili, then slowly raised his head and glanced at Mo Sha Lili with a confused face: "I have found it." β
"Find ...... Found it?" Mosalili blinked dumbfounded.
"Yes. Angel reached out and gently patted the thirteen books piled up next to him. Yes, thirteen books in all: "Not very esoteric experiments, all of which are covered in these books." I found it all at six o'clock in the morning. β
"Six in the morning, what time is it?"
"It's half past eight. I'm waiting for the library staff to come to work and then look for them to check their borrowing history. As he spoke, Angel glanced at the clock on the wall: "Ten minutes left, almost." Let's go. Put all the books you took out earlier. β
"Good...... Good. β
Moshalili hurriedly picked up the large stack of books and staggered towards the shelves.
Angel didn't seem to have any intention of helping, so he just stood there and waited. By the way, I will read the book again.
"You're not a gentleman at all, Angel. Even the devil can't stand it anymore. This will not attract girls. The devil complained.
Angel replied blandly, "I don't need to like them. β
......
Things weren't that hard, and Angel quickly found eight people in the borrowing records. Not many people can enter the dark library, so there are only eight.
And it's almost certain that his experiment failed, which is why it was destructive. If it succeeds, it won't be discovered at all.
It took another two days. For two whole days, Angel barely paid attention to anything else around him, and concentrated on investigating. Ended up locking one of them. Then the results were handed over to the anxious president.
Why is it so burnt?
Because the order of the academy is collapsing step by step.
"Or ...... You've taken care of the last part as well, right?"
"What do you mean by the last part?"
"I mean ......" the president hesitated for a long time before he said, "Find him and tell him that we have enough evidence." Let him come up with the money to compensate the lab for the damage. and sign the letter of repentance. Yes, exactly. β
"Shouldn't it be left to the Wizarding Committee for adjudication?"
"There's no more Wizarding Council, no. All of them took leave. The president's scalp was about to burst: "You don't know yet, do you? Last night, the two classes of the Fire Magic Department and the Water Magic Department had a fight, and the matter has not been resolved until now. I don't even know how to fix it. You know what I mean, if the adjudicator is not there, and there is no one of prestige to take his place, then ......."
Spreading his hands, the president continued, "What I just told you is just one of them, and now we have countless similar things on hand. The Academy of Magic is already in a state of disorder, and we have no means to punish them. I hope this guy who stole into the lab can cooperate and obediently pay the compensation. This is already a very good result for us now. β
As he was talking, a loud shout came from outside the window: "Oppose! Oppose the dictatorship of the Vascular Society! They have no right to do this! The Academy of Magic belongs to all of us! Let's overthrow these dictators together! A new era has arrived, let's throw the garbage of the era of the Vascular Council into the garbage heap!"
"Throw it in the garbage, throw it in the garbage, throw it in the garbage!"
Hehe, it's only been a few days...... Sounds like a coup d'Γ©tat.
