Although Ivas took a leave of absence, he just didn't plan to go to class this morning.

Previously, he relied on his status as a teaching assistant to approve a note from his tutor and borrowed a copy of "General Rituals" in the school library. Now I have time to look around in the dormitory for a while.

I have to say that the level of knowledge in the university is high.

The "secret knowledge" that the Noble Red Society had written to teach to Ivas before was no more than common sense in this book. The knowledge in this book includes various common rituals up to the second energy level. Although the original intention of this book is to enable pastors to identify and counter the various evil rituals used beyond the path......

But Ivus, in turn, had no problem learning how to use ritual magic.

After breakfast, Ivas concentrated on reading in the study on the second floor.

Until an unexpected and reasonable guest comes to visit.

"Sister Haina?"

Ivas put down the book in his hand and smiled at the girl who was invited into the study and sat on the sofa on one side: "Look, this time, senior sister, you didn't make an appointment in advance, and the time to visit is very appropriate. ”

It's ten o'clock in the morning outside.

She was finally able to come to Ivus in a time of sunshine...... This made Eivers very happy.

"Actually, when I used to be in class, I wasn't so late so easily, right? I don't know what's going on......"

Haina sighed a little helplessly, and casually brought up the topic: "Forget it, don't mention that." There are three things that come to you this time. ”

"Three?"

This made Eivers a little surprised: "Does it have anything to do with yesterday's club?" ”

"Well, one of them is related."

Haina nodded and replied, "Director Kent said that he would give you another tantric book as a thank you for this incident. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at the "Ordinary Rituals" on Ivus's desk, paused slightly, and added, "Even if it is beyond the path, it can be." The book will be completely well handled...... If you are going to give it to someone, it is best to report that person's name as well, and the Inspectorate will give you a guarantee. Foreigners are also available.

In this way, if that person had not committed the crime, he would not have been arrested by the Inspectorate for learning the knowledge of the Tantric Book...... Even the Tantra of an illegal path is fine. ”

"'Thanks'?"

Ivas raised his eyebrows: "I thought it would be a 'reward' or a 'reassurance'." are mentally prepared for whether they want to participate in the commendation again. ”

Haina smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond: "You can also be a condolence gift......

The Inspectorate did not dare to invite Ivers to participate in the "commendation ceremony" again.

It stands to reason that the commendation ceremony has little to do with Ivus, who does not belong to the three major organs and is not a soldier.

The last commendation ceremony was actually to cover up the incompetence of the Inspectorate and try to share a part of the honor and credit of Ivas with the Inspectorate through this means. And the last tantric book was used to buy the hush money of Ehuas.

- You don't have to say anything, as long as he doesn't say anything after he gets on the podium.

This time it was very fortunate that no one died because of it. Originally, it was going to make a big mess, but it turned into a big victory by chance.

However, the royal family is not stupid, especially Princess Isabel was personally involved in this incident...... Although the result is good, it does not mean that the process is correct.

Therefore, the Inspectorate wants to be praised on the bright side this time, and even has to be praised in the newspapers.

But in fact, all the ministers who had anything to do with it were interviewed by Her Majesty last night. Even at this very moment, there is an urgent meeting in the round table - they usually don't meet on Friday mornings, but this time it's a special case.

Under such circumstances, the Inspectorate will certainly not dare to make any more big noise. They prefer that the populace forget about it.

Director Kent had already told Haina about that. But she didn't have a good time telling Ivus directly.

- But in fact, Ivers knew that this was indeed a very sincere "thanks".

Maybe Haina didn't understand what Director Kent meant, but Ivas understood.

The true sincerity of the Inspectorate is not as simple as sending out a tantric book - after all, it is something that can be bought with money and favors, and it is completely inconsistent with Ivus's merits.

What they meant was to allow Ivus to privately recruit a subordinate. You don't need to go through an exam, you don't even need to be a legitimate path. The Inspectorate can even provide proof of identity for Iwas...... If something happens to Ivus, the Inspectorate will not come to trouble him, but will take responsibility for it.

What the Inspectorate meant was that since Evas had helped them solve a problem this time; Then in the future, the Inspectorate will also help Ivas solve a problem.

That's a pretty good bonus.

This light yet calm style...... Apparently not a promise that the Kent director dared to make.

Is this alarming above?

The Inspectorate's highest-ranking administrator is the Great Guardian, and he is also a rare fifth-level powerhouse in Avalon. Probably he was the only one who dared to give such a guarantee that clearly violated the laws of the kingdom.

Ivas knew in his heart that Lily's identity could be officially cleared - even if she stepped into the path of adaptation, she didn't need to hide it.

So the mood relaxed, Ivas chuckled and laughed casually, and his deep voice was like a seductive devil: "But ah, senior sister...... Since you immediately think of the tantric book that transcends the path. Does it mean that you are instinctively curious about it and want to get in touch with it? ”

"-Don't talk nonsense, I'm not, I don't!"

Haina said in a panic, as if her butt had been burned by the sofa, and instantly stood up: "At most, I'm a little interested in alchemy......

"Don't worry, don't worry. Just kidding, I know. ”

Ivas soothed Hayna.

This is a bit of a silly senior sister is really interesting, poking and jumping.

With this state of almost completely devoid of heart, he can become the head of the student union...... In addition to her good grades, it is probably because the number of her supporters is much greater than that of her opponents.

Now that the two have become acquainted, Evas occasionally makes a joke that doesn't make Haina angry. But she reacted a little bit when she was scared, which made Ivus like to tease her more and more.

In order to appease Hayna, Ivas casually pulled out a dark red book from the side of the desk and handed it to Hayna with a smile: "Look, what is this?" ”

Haina sat up straight from the couch and took the book, realizing that it was the "Alchemy Code Words" that she had been thinking about for a long time.

"We said yes before — you see, I kept my promise. Senior sister didn't have class today, right? Then you might as well watch it here. ”

Ivas invited, "You can sit next to me, and if you don't understand anything, you can ask me." ”

Haina was visibly moved.

She took the "Alchemy Code Words" and subconsciously slowly sat down next to Ivus.

Ivus asked casually, "Speaking of which, when can I go and get my 'condolences'?" ”

"Tonight or tomorrow, and you'll get it when you get home." You set a time, and I'll take you there. ”

Haina said happily, knowing everything about it, and even took the initiative to add: "Because you're going to the White Queen to get it." The Red Queens have been in turmoil lately, and Gordon and the new director have gone to the Round Table for a meeting. ”

“…… Don't set a time, I'm afraid. ”

"What are you afraid of! I won't be late this time! Haina was a little embarrassed.

"That's it, Senpai. When the afternoon class is over, you can go home with me. ”

Ivus invited, "When Lily sends me home, let her go with you to the bureau to choose the secret book." ”

"Are you going to give it to Miss Lily? It's also good...... I'll send you home and I'll send Miss Lily back when she's done choosing the book. ”

Haina thought for a moment, "Why don't I follow you all the way today to protect you." Otherwise, if you get hurt, Inspector Edward will blame me. ”

"Not really, right? Those demon scholars had already failed once yesterday, and even if they were to do it again, they probably wouldn't have chosen it now. Ivus laughed.

"That's all about the other two things......

Haina became serious, turned around and bowed her head earnestly to Evas, "Please help me, Mr. Evas!" ”

"What's wrong?"

Ivas looked back with some surprise: "If you have something, just say it." If I can, I'll definitely help. ”

This is not the politeness of a social person, he is serious. This is the way Ivus does things.

Since his friend had already begged him, and was so serious—he would help if it was a little troublesome and dangerous, as long as Ivas could do it.

So Haina told Eivas the test that Minister Meg had put forward to her, as well as the "portable alchemy bomb".

"Minister Meg?"

Ai Huasi was a little surprised: "Does her old man want to accept you as a disciple?" She's the strongest of Avalon! ”

“…… Is she so strong? ”

Hayna's eyes widened as well.

She also knew that Dean Meg was strong, even single-handedly quelling a war, and that the next headmaster would also be a student of Meg. But she really didn't expect that Meg was actually the strongest in Avalon!

"Of course." Ivus nodded.

…… Not only that, but the old lady was also notoriously vicious. There is also an arrogant heart that is unique to the authoritarian path.

Although the old lady seemed kind and cheerful, Meg would smile at anyone. Her smile was not a sign of kindness—no matter how much she flattered her, no one Meg looked down upon. Her heart is as fierce as a lion tiger.

Meg's ability to take a fancy to Haina means that Haina has at least the talent to touch the path of the fifth energy level...... That is, on the same level as the Miss Assassin.

Of course, the randomness of the advanced ritual is very large, and even if you have talent, you may not be able to realize it...... But those who do not have the corresponding talent will not be promoted. Some people will find it difficult to attain their first professional level even after ten years of study. For example, Mr. "King", whom Ivus met in his first advancement ceremony, was thirty or forty years old and was still trying to advance to the second level.

- and even failed!

Looking at Mr. Wang's skillful advertising, it is estimated that it is not the first time that he has failed.

"Since Senior Meg has a good interest in you, you can't let her down."

Ivus replied decisively, "I've helped with that." ”

Helping others is helping yourself. It's also an investment, and it's a sure way to make a profit.

After all, he was supposed to solve this incident in the first place, and he just gave Hayna a little credit. There is a big difference between fame and nothing, but too much will be burdened by it...... This thing also has diminishing marginal utility.

If Haina could become Meg's disciple, he might be able to speak a few words on Meg's side.

After all, one of the direct causes of Avalon's destruction was Meg's death.

If Ivas can convince the stubborn old lady not to hold the advancement ceremony for the time being, it can be regarded as a real change in history. And Ivas has more time to develop.

“…… But what about Mr. Sherlock? ”

Ivus was intrigued by another point: "Didn't Minister Meg say that you should call him too?" ”

Last time in the ritual dungeon, Sherlock had too little information to make much difference. Now that it's Sherlock's home field, Ivas still wants to see how good Sherlock's brain is when he's on fire.

But unfortunately, his wish may not be fulfilled in the short term-

"That's the third thing," replied Haina in deep sorrow, "that Mr. Sherlock was attacked last night. ”
