Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 40: Library
Luke was sitting on the shuttle bus to Oulu College.
As she was getting in the car, she saw the Imperial agents chasing after her, just in time.
Qingkong 's appearance was enough to shock the entire Nutao City. No matter what secret moves the Government Affairs Office had on the Cape District, they had to withdraw to support Oulu College first.
Outside the car window, due to the transformation of space, the city buildings flew backwards in a distorted manner.
When it reaches a certain critical point, the darkness of the night is instantly replaced by the day, and the college bus travels on a field full of birdsong and flowers.
At the end of the road is an ancient castle that looks very much like Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
That is the Oulu College.
Oulu Academy has a history of more than a thousand years. In the early days, it was located in the city of Raging Waves and was called the Oulu School of Magic. Later, the Oulu mages discovered a stable subspace in the city of Raging Waves and moved the academy to this subspace.
Raging Waves is an open port city, and the city's style also influences the school's style of operation at the Oulu School of Magic.
The Oulu School of Magic was the first school of magic in the Golden Shield Empire to offer subjects other than magic, and even changed its name to "Oulu College".
In many fields such as magic, alchemy, steam, machinery, and supernatural research, Oulu College is at the world's leading level. Excellence and tolerance have attracted well-known scholars from all over the world, as well as the best students in the empire.
While 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 opposite to those in the main space. Today is the first day of a new week, so Luke met the students who returned to school after spending the weekend at home.
The college buses all stopped in the square outside the college gate, and soon the square was filled with students in uniform.
After getting off the bus, Hediciko called out to the girl sitting with Luke: "Lydia, isn't Professor Qingkong sitting with you? Where is she?"
Lydia looked around curiously: "Professor Qingkong? Professor Qingkong clearly got off the car with me just now, how come he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
The companions who came with them jumped in the crowd and looked around, but they couldn't find the elf professor who came with them.
"Don't look for her anymore. Since Professor Qingkong is here to handle the employment formalities, we will definitely see her again in the academy."
"Okay..." Hediciko was a little disappointed.
At this time, Luke was already walking on the avenue inside Oulu College.
In fact, if it weren't for attracting the attention of the Imperial spies, Luke would have many ways to enter the subspace where the Oulu Academy is located. After all, this is where players collect formulas and learn skills, and there are also many interesting academy-style plots.
As a very ancient academy , there are also many mysterious props here.
Luke greeted the students and faculty members naturally along the way, behaving like an easy-going external elf professor, and then walked into the college library.
The Oulu College Library is a four-story building built in the style of a fortress hundreds of years ago. It is one of the oldest existing teaching buildings in the college, and it hides many secrets and is also the place with the most supernatural events.
Since it was Monday morning, there were very few people in the library.
Luke walked down the spiral staircase in the lobby to the basement level and found Library No. 36.
A dim light bulb illuminated the ten-square-meter room, and the bookshelves on all four sides were filled with books. However, these books were covered with dust, and it was obvious that the librarian did not pay attention to cleaning here.
Luke pulled a book from the shelf and dusted it off.
The Relationship between Curses and Mystics
Author – Lowell Felix.
Open the title page:
Is curse magic a branch of occult magic?
Is the secret art a branch of the curse art?
These are two very interesting questions!
After tasting the sweetness of open disciplines in the early days, the Oulu Academy was open to any academic ideas for a period of time, and all kinds of ideas burst out like a group of wild horses running wild.
As the oldest academic discipline among all subjects, the secret arts was taken very seriously by the Oulu Academy at that time. The arrogant mages tried to find the most basic laws of the secret arts, establish an academic tree that could be recognized and utilized, and put an end to its empirical characteristics.
If this can be achieved, the occult will surely become a great discipline comparable to magic and alchemy.
However, the Olu wizards, who made great progress in all academic fields, encountered setbacks in the field of esoteric arts.
In particular, several mystical disasters and a group of Oulu wizards who became obsessed with the mystic arts almost caused the Oulu Academy to be destroyed.
Therefore, after the disaster, Oulu College removed the esoteric arts from its academic disciplines and imposed severe restrictions on the study of the esoteric arts.
A large number of books and materials related to the occult were destroyed, and only some books on the history and analysis of the occult were left, none of which were related to the practice of the occult.
These books are all gathered in this small library No. 36, becoming a ray of light left over from the former glory of the esoteric arts.
Luke was holding the book "The Relationship between Curses and Occult Arts" in his hand and reading it, completely forgetting the time.
Outside the Oulu Academy, a large number of cars carrying Imperial spies and sheriffs arrived.
But they were all stopped outside the academy gate by the Olu mages.
"I am Congressman Kipling Virgil." Surrounded by spies and sheriffs, Congressman Virgil walked to the front and said to the Oulu wizard who was blocking the road: "We have received accurate information that a very dangerous person has entered the Oulu College.
For the safety of the children, please let us in to search."
"Hello, Senator!" The wizard Oulu, who was blocking the gate of the academy, saluted Senator Virgil first, and then said arrogantly: "Oulu Academy has a complete defense force. If any dangerous person enters the academy, we will handle it ourselves.
This may be a good practical opportunity for the students of the college."
Virgil said seriously, "You have no idea how dangerous the dangerous person I'm talking about is. She has killed more than a hundred people in the Cape District. She is very likely to have the 'Heart of the Red Dragon Niercolon' in her hand, and she bought all the summoning materials last night.
Now she's entered your academy!
If you don't want the students of the academy to fight against a violent red dragon, let us in!"
Upon hearing that a red dragon might be summoned inside the academy, the Olu wizard who was blocking the way finally lost his confidence in the academy's strength.
But he still didn't let anyone in immediately.
"Please wait a moment, Councillor Virgil, I will report this matter to our dean immediately."
“Go quickly!”
Senator Virgil urged the Oulu mage, and then called Bonar to his side: "Oulu College has a very special status. Let me ask you again, did the female elf named Qingkong really enter Oulu College?"
Bonar replied: "Yes, my people and I saw her get on the bus of Oulu College. The license plate number is... Oulu 24. We can confirm it by finding the wizard who accompanied the bus."
