Chapter 40: The Library
Luke sat on the shuttle bus to Oulu College.
When she got into the car, she saw the Imperial agent chasing after her, and the time was just right.
The appearance of the clear sky this time is enough to startle the chickens and dogs in the entire Angry Waves City. Regardless of what the Government Council has done to the Cape District, it must be withdrawn first to support Oulu Academy.
Outside the car window, the urban buildings fly backwards in a distorted shape due to the transformation of space.
At a certain tipping point, the darkness of the night was replaced by day, and the college shuttle bus drove on a field of birds and flowers.
At the end of the road is a castle in the style of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
That's Oulu Academy.
The Oulu Academy has been around for more than 1,000 years. In the early days, it was located in the city of Angry Waves, and its name was Oulu School of Magic. Later, the Oulu mages found a stable subspace in the city of Angry Waves, and moved the academy to this subspace.
The city is an open port city, and the style of the city has also influenced the style of the Oulu Academy of Magic and Magic.
The Oulu Academy of Magic was the first magic academy in the Golden Shield Empire to set up a discipline other than magic, and even changed its name to "Oulu Academy".
In many fields such as magic, alchemy, steam, mechanics, and transcendent studies, Oulu College is a world leader. Excellent and inclusive, Oulu College has attracted renowned scholars from all over the world, as well as the best students in the empire.
While the college shuttle bus was driving on the field road, other shuttle buses picking up students appeared on the road one after another.
The day and night in the subspace are the opposite of the main space, and today is the first day of the new week, so Luke meets the students who are returning to school after the weekend at home.
The college shuttle bus was parked in the square outside the college gate, and after a while, the square was full of students wearing uniform clothes.
Heidisico, who got out of the car, stopped the girl who was sitting with Luke: "Lydia, isn't Professor Sunny Sky sitting with you, where is she?" ”
Lydia looked around curiously, "Professor Sunny Sky? Professor Sunny Sky just got out of the car with me, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. ”
The companions who had come with them jumped in the crowd and looked around, but they couldn't find the elven professor who had come with them.
"Don't look for it, since Professor Sunny Sky has come to handle the entry procedures, we will definitely see her again in the academy."
"Okay......" Heidi Sicoo was a little disappointed.
By this time, Luke was already walking down the avenue inside Oulu Academy.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that it wasn't for attracting the attention of the Imperial agents, Luke would have had many ways to enter the subspace where the Oulu Academy was located. After all, it's a place for players to gather recipes and learn skills, and there's a lot of interesting preppy-style storytelling.
As a very old academy, there are also many mysterious items here.
Along the way, Luke greeted the students and faculty members naturally, acting like an easy-going external elf professor, and then walked into the college library.
The Oulu College Library is a four-storey building in the style of a fortress from hundreds of years ago. It is one of the oldest surviving teaching buildings in the academy, which hides many secrets and is also the place where the most supernatural events are plotted.
Since it was a Monday morning, there were very few people in the library.
Luke walked up the spiral staircase down the hall to the basement level and found Room 36.
A dim light bulb illuminates the room of more than ten square meters, and the bookshelves on all sides are full of books. It's just that the books are covered with dust, and it's clear that the librarian doesn't pay attention to cleaning them.
Luke pulls a book from the bookshelf and dusts it off.
The Relationship Between Curses and Arcane Arts
Author – Rowell Felix.
Open the title page:
Is Curse a branch of occult?
Is arcane art a branch of curse arts?
These are two very interesting questions!
In the early days, after tasting the sweetness of open disciplines, there was a time when the Oulu Academy was reluctant to accept any academic insight, and all kinds of ideas exploded like a bunch of wild horses.
As the oldest of all disciplines, occult art was highly valued by the Oulu Academy at that time. The egotistical mages try to find the most basic rules of occultism, to build an academic tree that can be recognized and utilized, and to put an end to its empirical properties.
If it can be done, the occult art will surely become a great discipline comparable to magic and alchemy.
However, the Oulu mages, who have advanced in all academic fields, have been bleeding when it comes to occult arts.
In particular, several occult disasters and a group of Oulu mages who went mad due to their addiction to occult arts, caused the Oulu Academy to almost collapse.
As a result, after the disaster, the Oulu Academy removed the occult from the academy's disciplines and imposed restrictions on the study of the occult.
A large number of books and materials related to occult arts were destroyed, leaving behind some books on the history and analysis of arcane arts, none of which were related to the practice of arcane arts.
The books are concentrated in the small No. 36 Library, a vestige of the mystical arts' former glory.
Luke looked at "The Relationship between Curses and Arcanes" in his hand, completely forgetting the time.
Outside the Oulu Academy, a large number of cars arrived with Imperial agents and sheriffs.
But they were all stopped by the Oulu mages outside the gates of the Academy.
"I'm Congressman Kiplin Fogill." Surrounded by spies and sheriffs, Councillor Virgil stepped forward and said to Master Oulu, who was blocking the way, "We have received definite information that a very dangerous person has entered the Oulu Academy.
For the safety of the children, please let us go in and search. ”
"Hello Councillor!" Mage Oulu, who was blocking the gate of the academy, first saluted Councillor Virgil, and then said very conceitedly: "Oulu Academy has a well-established defense force, if there is a dangerous person entering the academy, we will deal with it ourselves."
This may be a good opportunity for the students of the academy to practice. ”
Virgil said solemnly: "You have no idea how dangerous the dangerous person I am talking about. She had killed more than a hundred people in the Cape District, most likely the 'Heart of the Red Dragon Nil Collon' in her hands, and had all the summoning materials available last night.
Now she's in your academy!
If you don't want the academy students to be a grumpy red dragon, let us in! ”
Hearing that a red dragon might be summoned in the academy, Mage Oulu, who was blocking the way, finally lost the confidence he had just gained in the strength of the academy.
But he still didn't let anyone in immediately.
"Please wait, Councillor Virgil, I'll immediately escalate this matter to our dean."
"Go!"
Councillor Virgil urged the Oulu mage before calling Bonnard to his side: "The Oulu Academy has a very special status. Let me ask you again, did that female elf named Clear Sky really enter Oulu Academy? ”
Bonnard replied: "Yes, my people and I watched her get on the Oulu College bus. The license plate number is ...... Oulu 24, find the mage who accompanied the car to confirm it. ”
