Chapter 2854 Underwater Tower
"This"
In fact, the Green Dragon Witch, who did not belong to this era at all, blinked with her back to Shade. Of course, she did not know about the "future". But if she made it up, the werewolf next to her said last time that she had applied for the St. Byrons Witch Academy. It was impossible for the werewolf not to know the name of the principal.
I was still hesitating whether to tell the truth, but I didn't expect the Gray Wolf girl to take the initiative to introduce:
"The current principal is the demigod 'Twilight Star' Ms. Hitla, who is the Great Witch of the Moon Seat. The librarian is Ms. Irenos of the 13th rank. The letter I received about my failure in the entrance exam was signed by her name."
Xia De had never heard of these two names. After all, more than seven hundred years had passed since the establishment of the academy, and the names of Miss Feliana and Miss Orlanod must have become legends.
Suddenly the boat shook, and the four people who were chatting immediately shut up. Xia De took the oar that the god had given him to keep temporarily and shook it in the water. After the unknown creature that was active underwater just now left, he accelerated and sailed towards the destination.
For the rest of the journey, everyone concentrated on observing their surroundings and did not continue the previous conversation. When the group got close to the tower that Iluna pointed out, they found that only the top floor of the black stone tower was not submerged in water.
Iluna even pointed out:
"The last time we were here, the tower was leaning a little, but definitely not as badly as it is now. It doesn't look like it will hold up for much longer."
"Why is there no window on the top floor? Where did you get in from last time?"
"At the bottom of the tower, we swam underwater and entered through the door at the bottom of the tower. At that time, the tower was only half submerged. We tried, but the outer wall of the tower was treated with a ritual and could not be easily broken."
Miss Wilder said, and then gave advice;
"Don't let everyone go in. We should leave some people outside to provide support. This is not to watch over the ship. We need to prevent the people inside from getting trapped and unable to get out."
There were exactly four people on the boat at this time, so it was just right to split into groups of two. Shade was definitely going to go in, and no one had any objections to that. And one of Iluna and Miss Wilde, who had been in before, was also going to go in, so the Gray Wolf girl was definitely going to stay outside, and she had no objections either.
"I'll stay outside too. Shade, you and Miss Wilder go in the water together."
Of course, Iluna wanted to act with Shad, but considering that the Green Dragon Witch was of a higher level than her, and now that it was inconvenient for her to use the power of the Chosen One, a high-level pure-blooded green dragon was stronger. Following Shad could ensure Shad's safety, so she took the initiative to stay on the ship.
However, Iluna gave her own tablet of "The Shining Sun" to Shad and asked him to take it in with him.
After the four people discussed it, Miss Wilder gave Shade some of the tea leaves from last time and put them in his mouth, and then the two of them set off immediately. After jumping into the water, the dragon girl with a big tail led the way in front, and they kept diving until they reached the deepest part of the tower.
The last time Iluna and Miss Wilder left, they closed the door, but now the door was covered by a pile of rubble. Miss Wilder did not hesitate, and radiated the golden light in her hand forward, silently melting all the stones that were in the way.
This time Shade recognized it. It was the "Witch's Secret Art: Filianna's Witch's Light".
After opening the door at the bottom of the tower, a stream of black water with a foul smell immediately rushed out from behind the door. The Green Dragon Witch was not a "novice adventurer" either. She was well prepared and exhaled forward, and then the dragon flame actually burned under the water.
The flames did not completely destroy the black water, but they divided and surrounded it. Her tail shook at Xia De, signaling Xia De to follow quickly.
"Really reliable."
The tower has a large single-story area, and judging by the layout, it was probably used to teach astronomy courses in the past. An elevator connects each floor, but the machine is completely out of service at this time.
Miss Wilder still remembered the direction of the stairs, and she carefully observed and moved the debris in the water while leading Shad up step by step.
When the two reached the third floor, suddenly a huge shadow appeared in the dark water and crashed towards the green dragon girl in front of them, and was then forcibly blocked by the green dragon's powerful force.
In the dark vision, it was a creature as big as a whale and similar in appearance to a black catfish, except that its whiskers were not long whiskers, but long and thin things similar to deformed human hands.
As she breathed, foul-smelling black water gushed out of the gills of the fat catfish. The dragon witch, who loved cleanliness because of her job as a maid, immediately felt suffocated. She wanted to spit out dragon breath, but she couldn't convince herself to open her mouth.
Fortunately, the silver sword in Xia De's hand had already stabbed forward. The skin of the strange catfish was very slippery and elastic, but it was still pierced by the sword.
Black stinking water flowed out of the wound, and the "Catfish" also made a sharp cry that was hard to describe. It gave up the witch in front of it, struggled to let the sword leave its body, and then swung its tail and hit Shade again.
The chaotic water flow and the cover of black water made the underwater environment chaotic. At this moment, Miss Wilde felt that she heard a familiar dragon roar, and then saw Shade also holding on to the fat catfish.
"Thaumatology - Black Moon Symbol!"
A huge black moon mark appeared in the water, and Miss Wilder, who was nearby, felt her hair stand on end. Under the power of destruction, the catfish turned into ashes floating in the water.
The two did not stay to discuss but continued to go up. Fortunately, the top of the tower was just up. The end of the stairs was not completely submerged in water. The two people who came out of the water did not immediately start to steam themselves dry, because two stone slabs automatically floated out after they left the water, and the golden light pointed directly to the back of the stone door in front of them.
"Are you really ready here? I'm going to open the door."
"Prepare for what? Oh, you mean...wait!"
The green dragon girl immediately realized what was going to happen next, and after she dodged behind Shade, she even rolled up her tail to prevent it from being exposed. Although she was also a high-level witch, it did not mean that she had seen gods before:
"Open the door, but be careful. There might be a monster behind the door that emits intermittent golden light spots to attract people to open the door. If there is a god behind the door, I don't mean to blaspheme you. May your glory be forever. Okay, open the door."
As he said this, he retracted his head. At this moment, Shad could not feel any power behind the door at all. He recalled the door-opening spell he had just seen, put his hand on the door and chanted the spell.
Then the door rose silently. It was not pitch black behind the door. On the round roof at the top of the tower was a brilliant silver star map. Starlight shone down in large patches, illuminating the round astronomy room, the books piled up against the wall, the huge telescope in the center, the red cushioned stools surrounding the telescope, and the black-haired god who was looking up at the ancient star map with his hands behind his back.
He did not look towards the door as it opened. Instead, Shade took a deep breath and bowed slightly:
"Hello, Lord of the Black Robe, the patron saint of knowledge inheritors, we meet again in this academy."
Then Xia De heard the dragon girl behind him also take a deep breath.
After adjusting his expression, Shade walked into the door, and Miss Wilder followed him in nervously, shrinking behind him. She successfully made Shade's entire body cover her, and even made sure that her tail was not exposed.
She actually wanted to try to look forward over Shade's shoulder, but then she decided not to do so. However, she was soon attracted by another discovery - there were scars on Shade's body, and golden light radiated from those cracks.
"Once we are safely back, be sure to report this matter to Teacher Fiona in full. I wonder what Teacher Fiona thinks of people like Mr. Hamilton."
The green dragon girl thought to herself, while Shade pushed the two floating slabs forward:
"Did you find anything interesting in this academy?"
He asked, the god still looking up at the star map:
“Everything here has stagnated in the twilight when the students and teachers left. For a college, no matter how many outstanding students it has taught in the past, no matter how glorious it was in the past, when it no longer functions as a college, it is dead.”
The god with a gentle temperament raised his hand and pointed at the star map:
"Do you know what era this starry sky is from?"
Shad's astrology came from the courses Miss Danister had him take, but he still couldn't recognize it:
"The First Age?"
God smiled and shook his head:
"This is the star map recorded when the last batch of students of the academy used this place. That was in the late Fourth Era, about four thousand years ago."
"Four thousand years."
Shade also looked carefully at the starry sky at that time. Although powerful astrologers can know what happened that year just by looking at the star map - such as Mr. Euclid, Shade does not have such ability, but Luvia and Miss Belindel do. If he brings the star map to them, they may gain something:
"Then may I ask how this place became like this? We know that it seems that the arrival of other believers made the students no longer willing to stay and become new teachers, but judging from the stone tablets we found, this seems to be related to the end of the Fourth Era?"
He did not hide his curiosity at all, and the green dragon girl behind him obviously thought his curiosity was too great, so she had to grab his clothes as a reminder.
