Age of Mysticism

  Chapter 40 Library

  Luke is sitting in the shuttle bus to Oulu College.

   While getting in the car, she saw the imperial agents chasing after her, and the timing was just right.

  Clear Sky's appearance this time was enough to startle the entire city of Raging Waves. No matter what secret actions the Government Affairs Office has against the Cape District, they must first withdraw to support the Oulu Academy.

  Outside the car window, due to the space transformation, the city buildings fly backwards in a distorted manner.

  When a certain critical point was reached, the darkness of night was replaced by day in an instant, and the school bus drove on a field full of singing birds and fragrant flowers.

  At the end of the road, there is an ancient castle in the style of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

   That is Oulu College.

  Oulu College has a history of more than a thousand years. In the early days, it was located in Raging City, and its name was Oulu Academy of Magic. Later, the Oulu mages found a stable subspace in Raging Waves City, and moved the academy to this subspace.

  Raging Waves City is an open port city, and the urban style also influences the school-running style of the Oulu Academy of Magic.

  Oulu Academy of Magic is the first magic academy in the Golden Shield Empire to set up subjects other than magic, and even changed its name to "Oulu Academy".

  In many fields such as magic, alchemy, steam, machinery, extraordinary research, Oulu Academy is at the leading level in the world. Excellent and inclusive, Oulu College has attracted well-known scholars from all over the world, as well as the best students in the empire.

  When the college bus was driving on the field road, other buses picking up students appeared on the road one after another.

  The day and night in the subspace are exactly the opposite of those in the main space, and today is the first day of a new week, so Luke met those students who returned to school after spending the weekend at home.

  The college shuttle bus parked in the square outside the college gate. After a while, the square was full of students in uniform.

  Heidi Siko, who got out of the car, stopped the girl who was sitting with Luke: "Lydia, isn't Professor Qingkong sitting with you? Where is she?"

  Lydia looked around strangely: "Professor Qingkong? Professor Qingkong got off the car with me just now, why did he disappear in a blink of an eye?"

  The companions who came together jumped in the crowd and looked around, but they couldn't find the elf professor who came with them.

   "Don't look for it, since Professor Qingkong has come to go through the entry procedures, we will definitely see her again in the academy."

   "Okay..." Haidishiko was a little disappointed.

   At this time Luke was already walking on the avenue inside the Oulu Academy.

  Actually, if it wasn’t for attracting the attention of imperial spies, Luke had many ways to enter the subspace where Oulu Academy is located. After all, this is where players collect formulas and learn skills, and there are also many interesting college-style plots.

   As a very old academy, there are also many mysterious props here.

  Luke greeted the students and faculty members naturally along the way, acting like an easy-going external elf professor, and then walked into the college library.

  The Oulu College Library is a four-story building in the style of a fortress hundreds of years ago. It is one of the oldest surviving teaching buildings in the college. There are many secrets hidden in it, and it is also the place with the most plots of supernatural events.

  Because it was Monday morning, there were very few people in the library.

  Luke walks along the spiral staircase in the hall to the basement floor and finds library No. 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 these books are covered with dust, obviously the librarian doesn't pay attention to cleaning here.

  Luke pulls a book from the shelf and dusts it off.

   "The Relationship Between Curse and Mystery"

  Author—Rowell Felix.

  Open the title page:

  Curse is a branch of secret art?

  Mystery is a branch of curse?

   These are two very interesting questions!

  After the early Oulu Academy tasted the sweetness of open disciplines, there was a period of time when any academics were not rejected, and various ideas exploded like a batch of wild horses.

  Mystery, as the oldest of all disciplines, was highly valued by the Oulu Academy at that time. The conceited mages try to find the most basic laws of occultism, establish an academic tree that can be recognized and utilized, and end its empirical characteristics.

  If it can be done, secret art will definitely become a great subject comparable to magic and alchemy.

  However, the Oulu mages, who are making great strides in all academic fields, have suffered a lot in secret arts.

  In particular, several occult disasters and a group of Oulu mages who became obsessed with occult arts nearly wiped out Oulu Academy.

  So after that disaster, Oulu Academy removed occult arts from the academy disciplines, and imposed numerous restrictions on the study of occult arts.

  A large number of books and materials related to occult arts were destroyed, and what remained were some books on occult history and occult analysis, none of which was related to occult practice.

  These books are all gathered in this small library No. 36, becoming a glimmer of brilliance left behind by the occult arts.

  Luke held the "Relationship between Curse and Mystery" in his hand and looked at it, completely forgetting the time.

   Outside the Oulu Academy, a caravan of Imperial agents and sheriffs arrives.

   But they were all stopped outside the gate of the academy by the Oulu mages.

"I am Councilman Kipling Vergil." Surrounded by spies and magistrates, Councilor Vergil walked to the front and said to the Oulu mage who was blocking the way: "We have received definite information that a very dangerous person entered Oulu College.

  For the safety of the children, please let us go in and search. "

   "Hello Senator!" The Oulu mage, who was blocking the gate of the academy, saluted Congressman Vergil first, and then said conceitedly: "Oulu Academy has a complete defense force, and if any dangerous person enters 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 is. She killed more than a hundred people in the Cape District, and it is very likely that she has the 'heart of the red dragon Neil Colon' in her hand, and she is in the I bought all the summoning materials last night.

   Now she's in your Academy!

  If you don't want your college students to be fighting against a raging red dragon, let us in! "

   Hearing that a red dragon might be summoned in the academy, the mage Oulu who was blocking the way finally lost his confidence in the strength of the academy just now.

   But he still didn't let people in right away.

   "Please wait a moment, Senator Virgil, I will report this matter to our dean immediately."

   "Go!"

  Member Virgil urged the Oulu mage, and then called Bonnar to his side: "The status of Oulu Academy is very special. Let me ask you again, that female elf named Qingkong really entered Oulu Academy?"

  Bonal replied: "Yes, my people and I watched her get on the bus of Oulu College with my own eyes. The license plate number is... Oulu 24, and you can confirm it by finding the mage on the bus."
