Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 90 You Should Feel Honored
Dean Wilred was greatly shocked by what Luke said.
The origin of the name of the Book of Disaster is that the secret words released around it can release the energy of the abyss, which seriously affects people's minds and caused a near-destructive disaster to the Oulu College.
Dean Wilred, who experienced that incident, has been rejecting occult arts for more than a hundred years.
This book left an indelible shadow on him .
Now the elf in front of him actually said that the Book of Disaster can be controlled, which caused a great shock to Dean Wilred.
The battle that happened in the past reappeared in his memory. This time, in addition to sadness and pain, he even felt a little bit of lamentation.
"I didn't expect it...I really didn't expect it." Willred put his wand aside and sat down with a somewhat unstable mood: "If what you said is true, could the disaster have been avoided?
We were all wrong. We kept walking into the abyss on the wrong path, ignoring the correct direction that existed.
What went wrong?
Is...shouldn't we use the Book of Calamity as the subject of the Mystic Words?"
Luke couldn't help but admire Wilred. He was worthy of being the dean who restored all the honor of Oulu College from the ruins.
The window paper on the Book of Disaster is not something that anyone can easily break. After all, when the Book of Disaster is the subject, the energy it can emit is too huge, making the holder always want to stimulate this huge energy.
Luke praised: "The dean's wisdom is the greatest asset of Oulu College. The Book of Disaster is indeed very safe to use as an auxiliary word in the secret language, and it can also produce magical effects.
But we can’t say it’s wrong as a subject, it’s probably because we haven’t found the correct code word yet.”
In the Anno game, players have tried to develop the Word of Mysticism using the Book of Calamity as the main language, but all attempts have ended in failure.
Players will not be eroded by the energy of the Abyss, and the result is a sudden death as punishment. This is certainly not a punishment for the players, but it is undeniable that all similar experiments have ended in failure.
Therefore, it can be judged that the Book of Disaster cannot be used as the subject of the Secret Language, which is determined by the game mechanism.
If you are not allowed to use it, you are not allowed to use it.
But this is a real world, and the secret language with the Book of Disaster as its subject...is there really not a single one that can be controlled?
Luke knew that this question was absolutely very dangerous, but it actually arose in his mind.
The secret art is indeed a kind of academic discipline that can easily make people sink into it. Even though one knows there is an abyss ahead, one can't help but want to test it.
"You shouldn't have such thoughts." Wilred noticed the elf's gaze on the road leading to the abyss: "Give me the Book of Disaster and let me destroy it."
"You know this is impossible unless you can defeat me. This also seems impossible. Last time I stole your wand."
Luke stared at the wand in Willred's hand, and the old dean quickly grabbed the wand in his hand.
"Elf, your character is not strong enough to resist the temptation of the Book of Disaster. Although you have found a way to use it safely, the abyss will always attract you to it.
I admit that you are powerful, but you don’t actually need it.”
Luke was unmoved. She told Willard the purpose of her visit: "After purifying the remaining soul of Professor Felix, I took a few of his esoteric books back to read. Then I found... I couldn't understand a lot of things.
I needed a mentor to guide me on the path of occult research, and I thought of you.
You were once a professor of the Department of Mysticism at Oulu College, and you are also one of the few remaining mystic scholars at Oulu College. You are qualified to be my mystic mentor."
"I refuse!" Wilred answered very straightforwardly.
"Okay then...bye!" Luke turned around and was about to leave, saying, "I'll go find Victor and ask him if he's willing. He has never stopped studying esoteric arts in the past hundred years, so he's the best candidate to be my mentor."
"Wait a minute!" Wilred immediately called out to Luke.
If this elf went to find the Apostle of the Abyss, Victor would immediately teach her how to embrace the abyss.
It's like sending a super fighter to your enemy.
Luke turned around and asked with a smile: "Dean, have you changed your mind?"
"Come here and sit in front of me." Wilred waved his hand to seal the door, then pointed to the chair opposite him and said to Luke: "No one will come in and disturb our conversation now."
Luke walked over to the opposite side of the desk and sat down, placing the book in his hands on the table.
Wilred took a look and said, "'The Origin of Sacrifice and the Early Understanding of Mysticism' is an introductory book on mysticism written by Professor Fehemia. He spent twenty years doing archaeological research all over the world, collecting historical materials spanning five thousand years, before writing this book.
During that time , he had more than a dozen assistants. Some died in accidents during archaeology, and some left the project because they could not bear the dangers at any time. But Professor Fehemia persisted, and only then did this wonderful work come into being.
This book contains annotations written by Professor Fehemia himself, and the content is two-thirds more than the printed version.
I was a little surprised to see this book again. I should have burned it. It seems that Professor Felix hid it. How many esoteric books are there in that hidden library?"
"There are probably a few thousand copies... most of them are well preserved."
Wilred knew that Professor Felix had hidden some of the secret books, but he didn't know how many. When he heard that several thousand books had been preserved, he immediately showed a look of relief.
"Very good, very good! I was too impulsive at the time. Academics were not guilty. It was Victor and his team who made the mistake . Even most of the professors and students of the Department of Mysticism stood on the side of the academy at the time, and many of them died in that disaster.
Looking back on it later, I regretted it very much.
Now the Abyss Temple not only wants to take away the Book of Disaster from you, but also wants to take away Professor Felix's collection of books. Can you protect them?"
Luke said: "It's not so easy to take away what's in my hands. I have used the heads of four Abyss Mages to tell the Abyss Temple my attitude.
But if Victor is willing to make me an offer I can't refuse, I might give it some thought.
It’s just that I don’t want to turn into an Apostle of the Abyss for the time being, so I came to you first.
Would you like to be my occult mentor?
Dean Wilred! "
Wilred laughed out loud: "This is the first time I've seen a student talk to his mentor like this...as if I should express my honor to have you as my apprentice."
"You should feel honored to have an occult apprentice worth a billion Reichsmarks."
