Chapter 80: The Death Rose Society
After listening to Tef's explanation, and then gradually understanding the normal operation of their club, when I walked out the door, it was already night.
"It's not something that you can fully understand about the Ai Ji Ka network in a day or two, so it's good to get familiar with it slowly." Fearing that Tilan would find it too much trouble and stop, Colt comforted her after walking out of the 'Blackshirt Rambler' community.
"Not really, it's just a little new and unexpected, it stands to reason that this should be a very important industry, but it's rarely heard of in life." The girl was slightly puzzled.
"Because ordinary people can't reach it, at least sequence 3 is required to barely use the device, not to mention, to really travel freely and experience various things in the network, it is estimated that it will take sequence 4, which brushes off 95% of people." Colt explained.
"In addition, although the function of the Ai Ji Ka network is extremely strong in learning and entertainment, it cannot replace the practice and exercise of reality, and even if you use it too much, it is easy to waste everything in reality, and the spirit is abnormal, so the Ai Ji Ka network has not been widely promoted."
"I see."
Because it was already evening, they parted after a few conversations, and when Tilan and Anneli came to the student union the next day, it was another girl who received her.
"Hi, Hi, Tilan, my name is Grena." The girl was about 18 years old, wearing a white tucked blouse, a black jacket from the student union, a clipboard in her hand, and a work card on her chest, but it didn't look like it belonged to the student union, but from a company.
"Ah, this, I'm sorry, I forgot to take it off." Seeing Ti Lan's gaze on her chest, she put away the work card with the triangular badge and put it in the drawer of the student union office.
"I usually work at the 'Mahyland Consulting Office', so I'm used to having a work card in the morning." She explained simply.
"Today it's me who took Ti Lan to visit the inner club of the school park.,Yesterday it was Colt who took you on a tour.。
"Yes." The girl nodded slightly, feeling that this Miss Grina was a little afraid of herself, and there was a little hidden nervousness in her voice.
Then the other party continued to introduce himself, "As for me, I belong to the accounting department of the student union, that is, I am responsible for finance-related matters, but occasionally I will contact some clubs to communicate about reimbursement and procurement. ”
"Let's go first, talking as we go." She took Tilan and Annelli out and locked the office.
The three stood in the elevator, quietly waiting to descend.
"What happened just now, please don't be embarrassed, I usually do a good job of completing the things of the student union, but I will go to the office to help in my free time." She seemed to be still uneasy to explain what had just happened.
"It's nothing, is it because of a lack of money?" Ti Lan is curious, she didn't live well before, and she has no prejudice against part-time jobs or anything.
"Well, yes, although most of the students in Eddes Academy are either rich or expensive, there are also some who are not." Her voice was softened.
"My tuition fees are free, but I need plenty of money to study and prepare for university in the future."
"The tuition fees of federal universities are very expensive, at least 300,000 federal dollars per year, and as much as 500,000-600,000 yuan." Ti Lan also sighed, she used to worry about college tuition, but fortunately, it should not be a big problem now.
"Yes, so even during high school, you have to prepare some, otherwise even if you take out a tuition loan, it may not be enough." Glena looked at the transparent glass on the inside of the elevator, opened her mouth slightly, and sighed.
"Let's not talk about these things first, Ti Lan visited all large clubs yesterday, and today we visited small and medium-sized clubs, because there are not many people and the structure is simple, so it will be a lot faster."
The elevator fell to the first floor, and she was the first to walk out and guide the girl.
"Come with me."
The trio then walked through the hallway to a classic building that looked a bit like a castle from the outside, but the rooms inside were extraordinarily spacious and equipped with all the modern amenities.
Here, the three of them could see many students coming in and out, they were in groups of three or five, talking about recent interesting things, and occasionally bursts of laughter.
"Because when this castle was built, it was prepared for student clubs.,So many clubs' activity rooms are here.,It's just that later the number of students in the school park expanded.,Some new clubs were arranged in other places.。 Glena walked ahead.
The three of them stepped on the escalator and came to the second floor, where many club rooms were open, and students could be seen in the activities, some playing musical instruments, studios full of paint and waste paper, tapping dance footsteps, and the sound of playing cards and battles, and occasionally a few quieter rooms, where students were reading books or discussing recent experiences.
"First of all, this is it." Glena stopped in front of the door of a club room, and saw that the logo on it was a skeleton biting a blue rose, and there were letters underneath, which was quite artistic.
"The Dead Rose Society, a gathering place for withering sequences and art lovers." Glena finished speaking, knocked on the door, and walked inside.
The interior decoration style of the event is very death Gothic, there are many places decorated with skeletons, the ground is covered with red carpets, and the black marble round table surrounds the central round table, and the black marble round table is inscribed with a complex magic array, which has various symbols and words, and the traces of stars and moons are faintly visible.
The twelve chairs are of different styles, some of them are carved with demonic beasts and demons on the backs, some are decorated with black and blue vine roses, some are intersecting with knives and axes, and the lower part is painted with blood-red veins, and so on.
When Glina led the two inside, there were seven black-robed figures sitting on the chairs, and the other five were empty.
"Good morning, everyone." Glena waved her hand, and the seven people in the room were silent, as if a little annoyed by her sudden entry.
"Morning, Grena, what's the matter with coming today, we're in a meeting." A black-robed man lifted his hood, revealing short gray hair.
"Sherinch, morning, I'm sorry to disturb your meeting, but if I wait, I'm afraid I won't be able to come in until the afternoon, so I'll bother." Glenna stepped forward.
"This is the president of the 'Death Rose Society', Sherinch, a well-known master craftsman in the school park, very fond of bone-related arts, and the skeleton model he made himself is popular with many doctors in the school."
"Sherinch, this is Tilan, a new member of our student union, she will be in charge of many matters in the future, and I will bring her to familiarize herself with the situation this year."
"Hello, Miss Tilan." The gray-haired young man with a slightly pale face saluted the girl, not arrogant or impatient, and his expression was cold and peaceful.
"Hello, President Sherlinch."
After the two got to know each other briefly, Glena took Ti Lan close to the round table in the activity room, and stroked it slightly with her hand, the touch was extremely cold, and the material of the table top was somewhat similar to black jade, with a translucent beauty.
"Is it okay?" Glena looked up.
"Very good, thank you Glina for helping us buy this ceremonial round table last year, because it makes it much easier for the members of our community to practice the secret arts." Sherinch nodded.
"It's good if you like to be satisfied, and I also occasionally learned that there was a piece of smear Yao Stone in that mine, and I heard that you have been looking for this kind of thing, so I contacted the other party."
A few people sat down, and the girl slowly learned some of the past stories about Glina and this society.
Many of the members of the Death Rose Society are enthusiasts of necromancy, and although the current withering sequence is born from the necromantic sequence, it still cuts out a lot of things from the past, and there are only a few people who actually practice necromancy today.
Because of the niche and unpopular hobbies,The members of the 'Death Rose Society' have always been very few.,Now it's only 7 people.,But their strength is very good.,All of them are above Sequence 5.,You must know that you can advance to Sequence 5 in high school.,It's not more than 1/10,000 in the federal population.,Even if it's Edes Academy,Not all students can enter Sequence 5 before graduation.。
Slowly chatting about the activities in the club, Ti Lan also asked many questions curiously, including even very expert questions, involving the past of the necromantic sequence and the iteration of some secret techniques.
"I didn't expect Miss Tilan to know so much about the past of the Necromantic Sequence." Sherinch changed from cold at the beginning to very interested, and the other six people who had been silent gradually spoke.
"In the era of the Mercury Dynasty, because of the continuous war, it played a great role in promoting and catalyzing the development of the necromantic sequence, and all kinds of geniuses really emerged at that time, if I could be born in that era, I would definitely become a world-famous necromancer master."
"Necromantic Master? The Second Age is good, but the Third is not so good. The girl shook her head slightly, she was quite familiar with that history.
"Hahaha, when it was liquidated, there was no way, at that time, it was the rise of the magic sequence, just like the revival of the spirit child sequence in today's era."
"However, our necromantic sequence is not bad, at least it has been transformed into a withering sequence to continue, and the magic sequence has been completely replaced by the spirit child sequence."
"In the past, I was proficient in alchemy, potion preparation, and the magic sequence of inscribed magic circles, but now all aspects are replaced by the Lingzi sequence." He remembered something happy and glad.
After that, Glena and Annelli were almost completely left aside, just listening to Ti Lan and these black-robed people in the community gradually discuss the various details of the secret art of necromancy, including the 'Morta Spell', 'Burial Moon Secret Ritual', 'Three Soul Awakening Formula', etc., just listening to the name makes people understand.
In this way, it was not until noon that Glina interrupted, and Sherinch was still a little reluctant, but it was indeed time for dinner.
"I'll give Ti Lan a gift, it's the soul jade magic ball I made myself recently." He stood up, went to a corner of the activity room, opened the locked compartment, and took out a black jade ball about the size of a baby's head, its color was deep and translucent.
"The inside of it is inscribed with micron filaments, which can be used to easily perform some necromantic mysteries, and can also allow the creatures of the withering sequence to inhabit it after blurring."
"It's a lot of money to make, not only does it take effort, but the material cost is not cheap." Glenna smacked her tongue slightly.
"It's nothing, it's rare to meet someone who has such a common discourse, and now there are still too few peers who still know about the necromantic sequence." Sherinch shook his head, indicating that the gift was nothing more than a heart's desire.
"Now that I'm proficient in making this orb, it's not difficult to make another one in the future, it's just a matter of taking some time."
"Ti Lan doesn't have to excuse herself, I look forward to continuing to exchange ideas with you next time." After speaking, he handed the soul jade magic ball to the girl.
Soul Jade Orb [Rare Glowing Gold Level]: The orb restored by Sherin Qi according to the ancient classics can be used to perform various necromantic secret techniques more conveniently, and can store the ethereal life of the necromantic sequence and the withering sequence to it, such as ghosts, resentful spirits, etc.
"This ...... Then thank you, Senior Sherlinch. The girl wanted to refuse, but thought that she seemed to have a withered pet, that is, the big spider, so she took it.
If you put it in the soul jade magic ball, you can easily carry it to Edus School Park, so that this guy won't usually complain and be depressed.
"Come often, Tilan, our club welcomes companions who can exchange ideas."
After another period of invitation and agreement, the three of them left the club room.
At noon, the three of them went to dinner, and in the afternoon, they continued to visit and understand, during which most of the clubs were various hobby clubs, such as sports, art and painting, and a small number of music-related, such as wind play, dance, rock, and so on.
The next day, it was Glena who took the two of them, but the club I went to today was more special.
"This is the 'Tikos Plant Research Society', which focuses on the cultivation and catalysis of Tikos seeds." After Glina finished speaking, she led the two of them to push the door open.
"Aaron? How are you here. Ti Lan saw an acquaintance from her own community.
The activity room is full of transparent glass covers, and inside the covers are plants of different sizes and colors, some of which are in full bloom, some have just sprouted, and the flowers that bloom are also strange, some are delicate and bright yellow, some are blood-red like ghost faces, and some are mutilated, and they have withered as soon as they bloom.
In addition to Aaron, there are also 5 people in white robes here, and judging by their pointed ears, they should all have the same elven blood as Aaron.
"Ah, I'm here to exchange and learn, and President Tilan knows that I'm a person who likes plants very much." Yalian still had a test tube and a seed in his hand, and when he heard the girl's voice, he looked up in surprise and paused for two seconds before explaining.
"Aaron is an acquaintance of ours, and if it weren't for the accident last year, it would be normal for him to join our club." A tall woman in a white gown with sharp eyebrows walked over, her temperament was quite mature and charming.
"Hello, my name is Mavis, and I'm the president of the Tikos Plant Research Society." She has a badge with a tricolor gold flower on the neckline, indicating that she is a certified botanist by profession.
"You're Tilan, you look a little petite." Compared to Ti Lan, who is about 1.6 meters, the blonde elf woman in front of her is about 1.8 meters tall, and Ti Lan has to tilt her head slightly to see her face clearly after approaching.
"Uh, yes, I'm Tilan."
"It's just a slight surprise, but it's not that Aaron is here." Ti Lan felt that the other party had some misunderstanding of her hostility.
"Ahaha, Sister Mavis, you're a little scared of little Tilan." Aaron would put down what he was holding and come over.
"Okay, maybe I'm going to be wrong, that, who, yes, is there something wrong with Glina coming today?" She rubbed her forehead with her fingers and asked the girl with glasses next to her.
"Because Ti Lan has just joined the student union, I brought her over today to familiarize herself with and understand the situation."
"Oh, that's a little thing." Slightly disappointed, she waved her hand casually.
"Let Aaron show you around, he's quite familiar with him." With that, she sat down on the large sofa in the room, her legs simply folded, and her head tilted back, as if she was ready to take a nap.
……
"And that's how it became." Aaron took Tilan and Annelli and walked in the glass house covered with various plants, talking about some of the past.
It turned out that he had known Mavis for a long time, and the other party was still a little distant relative, and when he was a child, he was very familiar with each other because of the exchanges between the two families, and then Mavis was also focusing on plants, and often asked Aaron's father for advice, so the two often met.
"Originally,I chose Edes School Park,It's also because of Sister Mavis.,But I didn't want to enter the school park.,I went to other clubs.。
"What do you call other societies?" Annellie behind Tilan was a little upset.
"Are you still aggrieved that our Twilight Orchestra accepted you?"
"That's not it, it's just that it's a bit of an accident, I also wanted to be a consultant at that time, but I didn't expect that later, I was really convinced by Tilan, cough cough." Aaron explained, which made Annelli's expression soothe slightly.
"However, I am indeed a little sorry for Sister Mavis, so she asked me to come over to help later, and I didn't refuse, hoping that President Tilan would not be angry."
"There's no need to be so rigid about this kind of trivial matter, it's okay for Aaron to come at will." The girl shook her head, she didn't think it had any effect at all, there wasn't much going on in the Twilight Orchestra.
"What an enlightened and understanding man, President Tiran deserves to be my idol." At this time, Aaron returned to his old style, which made the girl want to complain a little.
"Okay,Don't talk about that.,I've been visiting the clubs in the school park for the last few days.,That's when I found out that there are many people and things in the Eddes School Park that I haven't noticed before.。
"Indeed,Ordinary students will focus on their own practice and club activities with their peers.,If it's not an insider.,Even if you're in the same school park, it's probably always been a parallel line.,There's no intersection.。 Aaron explained.
"I have a lot to learn recently, and I feel that President Amors has put too much emphasis on me, and I really have to be responsible for so many club contacts and activity arrangements?" Ti Lan rubbed the side of her ear, feeling that she couldn't remember so many names and societies.
"It's good to get used to it slowly after the president, in fact, you don't need to remember everything in every club, just have a general understanding." Aaron suggested on the sidelines.
"I guess President Amors doesn't mean to let you be in charge of so many and complicated affairs, probably just to familiarize you with the situation of the various parts of the school park in the early stage, so you have a good idea."
"Well, I hope so, otherwise it feels like there won't be enough for one person." The girl looked at the scenery outside the window, and then looked at Aryan on the side, thinking about how to catch this guy and be a coolie, since he joined the club, the atmosphere has been deviated, and I always feel that this guy has a faint tendency to play tricks on himself.
"Uh, ah, ha, haha, isn't there enough manpower, there are a lot of idlers in the club, for example, like the kid from Jinsenke." Aaron turned his gaze and replied a little weakly.
"Speaking of which, Kinsenke made a big fuss in Valker's hometown during this holiday."
"What's going on?" Annelie was suddenly interested.
"Probably blow up an abandoned factory, fly a simple mech, and use a machine gun to sweep through the local gangsters."
In the remote area of the North Kowloon District, with his family background, he was invincible, and he released the violence in his heart, and it was a relatively righteous act, which greatly satisfied his thirst for fun, and was also sought after by the locals, making him extremely proud.
"It is said that after receiving the gratitude of the local orphans and children, he also made a big donation to local charity." Aaron recalls the rumors he had heard recently.
"It should be a good thing." Ti Lan said with some uncertainty, it seems that a lot has changed this semester.
