Volume 3: The Secret of the Door Chapter 10 The Key!

Gada!

At Goethe's signal, the [Blood Raven Spirit] held the key in its mouth and deftly inserted the key into the keyhole. After gently turning it with its beak, the door lock immediately made a crisp sound.

Then the door opened.

The light flickers in the darkness.

As Goethe approached cautiously, a scene immediately came into his sight.

It's like an old black-and-white silent movie projected on the screen.

Not only is it blurry, but it is also full of snowflakes and light spots.

One could only roughly see that it was a child playing and frolicking. Soon, the child grew into a teenager, but the blurry picture remained. It was not until the teenager grew into a middle-aged man that the blurry picture finally became clear.

A man in a suit and a top hat was standing respectfully in front of the old man.

The old man was wearing pajamas and holding a cup.

The cup should contain milk or a similar drink.

There was guilt and reluctance on the other person's face.

The middle-aged man had a determined look on his face and confidence in his eyes.

Then, the shot changes.

The black and white picture turned into color, and there was also sound.

"Mordodd, congratulations on becoming the alchemy and potion teacher of the 'Academy'. This is a 'Teacher's Guide'. Please remember it and follow it within one day."

With a sound, the middle-aged man picked up a parchment scroll.

The other party is Mordod?

Is this the other person's memory?

Goethe was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

At this moment, Mordod was looking at the "Teacher's Notes", and those words appeared on the screen one by one -

1. "College" is just "college" without any other name. When someone tells you the name of "college", please stay away and evaluate the strength of both parties. If you think you are stronger than the other party, please capture or kill the other party immediately. When you think you are no match for the opponent, please notify the college security department immediately.

2. The Alchemy class of the 'College' is on Monday morning, and the Potions class is on Friday afternoon. Apart from that, please wear your nameplate when you want to enter the classroom. The 'College' does not have morning and evening self-study classes or holidays. If someone notifies you to go to morning and evening self-study classes or take a vacation, please ignore it. When you are in class, there will be other teachers who come to audit. Please check their nameplates. If there is no nameplate, you should expel them immediately and try your best to ensure the safety of the students.

3. The auditorium of the 'college' is on the first floor of the teaching building. The second and third floors are classrooms. The fixed classroom for alchemy and potion classes is 301 on the third floor. The fourth floor is the principal's office. You are prohibited from going to the fourth floor unless summoned. The auditorium on the side of the playground is a special auditorium for teachers, an entertainment room, and a reading room. You can go there at will when you don't have classes, but you must wear a nameplate.

4. The lights in the student dormitory of the "College" are turned off at 22:00 at night. There is no lights-out rule in the teacher dormitory. When someone tells you that you need to turn off the lights, please fight them off immediately. Attention! The other party is absolutely not allowed to touch any coins in the gas lamp coin box. If the other party has touched it, please do your best to kill him.

5. The dormitory of the teachers of the 'College' is a double room. Your roommate must be a teacher of the 'College'. Please check the nameplate of the other party. If the other party does not have a nameplate, please capture and kill the other party. If you are not as strong as the other party, you can go to the security department to seek support.

6. The cafeteria of the 'college' serves three meals: breakfast from 7:00 to 8:00, lunch from 12:00 to 13:00, and dinner from 18:00 to 19:00. In addition to the three meals, the cafeteria also provides special afternoon tea and midnight snacks for teachers. If you think you have the ability, please wear your name badge and enter when you see the notice of afternoon tea and midnight snacks in the cafeteria.

7. The 'College' bathroom provides 24-hour hot water.

8. The Security Office of the College is located at the northernmost part of the College. When you see the Security Office at the southernmost part, please stay alert and notify the Security Office at the northernmost part.

9. The college prohibits students from dating. If you find any of them, please stop it immediately.

10. After wearing the nameplate, teachers of the "College" should not introduce themselves proactively. When a student asks you for help, you can handle the student's report as appropriate.

11. The "college" has only one principal, and all the principals wear a nameplate with "Modeus" written in cursive script.

…

hiss?!

"Modeus?"

"The 'Mad King' is the principal of the 'Academy'?"

When Goethe saw the name, he gasped.

He had previously guessed that the 'Mad King' might be a student or a teacher, but he had never thought that the Mad King would actually be the 'Principal'.

So……

Is the 'Mad King' the successor principal of the 'College', or is he the first principal of the 'College'?

As for the former, there is nothing yet.

At most, the Mad King performed well and became the principal of the 'Academy'.

But if it is the latter, then the role played by the 'Mad King' in this secret realm is worth pondering.

The early 'Mad King' was a humanoid self-propelled artillery, like a male dog in heat, spraying everywhere.

The "Mad King" in the middle period is a gloomy middle-aged man, just like a middle-aged man who is married with two kids, has to hand over his salary card to his wife, receives a pitiful amount of pocket money every month, and has to ask for leave in advance to go out for drinks with friends. After meeting his friends, he takes out the pocket money he has saved for five months, slaps it on the table, and brags that he applied for it from his wife, and his wife gave it to him immediately without any hesitation, and his heart is bleeding.

Later stage?

Goethe never really saw it.

But just a few words and some impressions are enough to prove that the 'Mad King' is worthy of being called the 'Mad King'.

"This shouldn't be a place where the Mad King enters in his later stages, right?"

Goethe muttered in his heart, his eyes fixed on the subsequent words that appeared in the light and shadow before his eyes -

12. On any day of the week, you must go to the student dormitory to check on the students after the lights are turned off. If you encounter a student who refuses to open the door, break in and capture and kill the student in the room.

12. When checking dormitories, if you hear continuous unusual noises coming from the dormitory, please immediately take the students out of the dormitory and go to the security office in the south, and stay there until dawn. Never bring the students back to your dormitory.

14. When checking dormitories, if you encounter students, please punish them severely, but do not kill them.

15. When checking dormitories, if you see smiling students in the corridor, please ignore them.

16. When checking the dormitories, if a student claims to be using the restroom, please be patient and wait.

17. When checking dormitories, please do not talk to the patrolling security guards. If you encounter any violation, you can call for help.

18. When you knock on the door during dormitory inspection and hear someone claiming to be the principal, please leave immediately.

19. As a teacher, you have the right to carry a weapon.

20. You have one vote every semester, and you can vote for a student you like. When the student you voted for wins the "Outstanding Student Award", you will also receive a corresponding reward.

(Note 1: These are the rules that teachers need to know.)

(Note 2: The "college" is a prestigious school with a long history, absolutely formal and worth cherishing.)

(Note 3: Please wear your nameplate and go to the auditorium to attend the freshman ceremony at 6pm when you hear the bell.)

(Note 4: I hope you, as a new teacher, have a pleasant semester)

…

In the subsequent 'Teacher's Instructions', there were no more regulations related to the 'Mad King', but 'Article 18' told Goethe that even if the 'Academy' was created by the 'Mad King', at the time of creation, the 'Mad King' was not the madman in the late stage, but should be in the middle stage, or had just passed the middle stage of the early stage.

Otherwise, there would be no 'Article 18'.

The scene continues.

Mordow attended classes as normal, teaching alchemy and potions.

This knowledge was easy to understand for Goethe .

Moreover, Moldow was very lucky.

Fortunately, the vote he cast went to an outstanding student.

As a reward, he gained some knowledge.

According to Goethe's understanding of the mysterious knowledge, it is probably at the 'mastery' level.

Everything is so normal.

If Mordaud hadn't been talking quietly with someone in the tour group -

'Have you found any trace of him?'

'No, I doubt he is at the Academy!'

'You just didn't notice it. Remember to be careful!'

"Once you find him, immediately find a way to brew the poison and spread it throughout the 'Academy'."

'But……'

"Why are you so soft-hearted?"

'You are not a teacher at the Academy, you are just a spy.'

…

The brief conversations, conducted in code, sound like friendly greetings to ordinary people, but they appear clearly in the voice-over.

"spy?"

"Same as the 'dismissed students' and 'graduates'? "

Goethe squinted his eyes and continued reading.

The days go by one after another.

Finally one day, Mordod heard the news that the principal had returned.

Without any hesitation, the alchemy and potion teacher quickly came to the alchemy and potion classroom and began to make the 'poison'.

At this time, Moldod showed alchemy and potion skills far beyond his previous level.

There is no doubt that this teacher usually hides his strength.

The poison refining process was proceeding at a very fast speed and reached the final step.

But at this moment, the entire alchemy and potion classroom suddenly shook.

The poison that was about to be completed immediately underwent unknown changes.

"Is this the origin of the Elixir of Life?"

Goethe opened his eyes wide, trying not to miss a single detail.

He wanted to see how the [Elixir of Life] appeared.

I also want to see how this 'jitter' appears.

But what Goethe wanted to see did not appear at all.

All that appeared was that Moldow was using a little white mouse to conduct an "experiment trying an unknown drug".

Goethe watched as Mold dropped a drop of liquid medicine into the little white mouse's mouth, watched as the little white mouse turned light gold in that instant, and watched as the entire alchemy and potion classroom began to shake.

Looking at Moldod standing there with ecstasy.

'I found it!'

'I see!'

'I……'

Bang!

Before he could finish his words, Moldod died.

Blown to pieces.

But immediately, Moldod appeared in the form of a ghost. It raised its hands and waved them in the air. When it stopped, a key appeared in its hand.

Moldod didn't stop, it kept grabbing.

Something inexplicable gathered on the key.

Sheets of parchment filled with text began to appear.

'Just a little later!'

"It's okay!"

As Moldod said these words, he merged with the little white mouse that had turned into gold. At that moment, the little white mouse turned into a hamster. On the key that was entangled with an unknown thing, an unknown aura passed over the hamster that had just turned into gold.

From Goethe's perspective, Moldod's memory changes accordingly.

The other party becomes more like a hamster.

Or to be more precise, the other person turned into a hamster-like person, and he had amnesia.

I can't remember anything except the most important things.

"So that's how it is."

Goethe murmured to himself.

Moldow undoubtedly had bad luck.

No!

It should be said that I was misled!

There must be something wrong with the other party’s information channel that would lead them to make such a choice!

Who could it be?

'Mad King?

Or the force to which the other party belongs?

Goethe didn't know.

But what Goethe knew was that he was now the owner of the 'Paradise Hotel'.

When light and darkness go out.

When the door disappears from the wall.

The key was held by the [Blood Raven Spirit] and placed into Goethe's hands.

[Key of the Master (Paradise Inn): Due to an accident, the room that was originally the alchemy and potion classroom of the 'Academy' has become the 'Paradise Inn'. According to the rules, the alchemy and potion classrooms on the third floor will remain on the third floor. At the same time, it will automatically construct the first and second floors, and change the form of the alchemy puppets.]

[Effects: 1. Layout change; 2. Puppet command; 3. Domain]

[Layout Change: You can change the layout of the Paradise Hotel as you wish. You can use existing items to change it into the style you like, but you cannot create something out of nothing. You can only choose to change something with something else. When something (dead object) enters the Paradise Hotel, you can also change it, but it will consume more of your physical strength, and the third floor will not change anyway.]

[Puppet Command: You can command Tom, Jerry, the battle puppet, and the killing puppet at will, and they will obey you 100%]

[Field: When you are within the range of the 'Paradise Hotel', you can appear in any range at will, and when a creature has hostile intentions towards you, you can 'change' the other party's body (not including the soul) in the hotel. When performing this operation, you will continue to consume physical strength until the change is completed; at the same time, you can also write a 'contract' to hire others to help you manage the hotel, and the person who signs the contract will not be able to disobey your orders.]

(Note: It is special, it can't leave here, because the 'Paradise Hotel' is here)

…

"【Key of the Holder (Paradise Inn)】?!"

"That guy's trident!"

After reading these words clearly, Goethe immediately thought of the water man holding the trident in the inner bay.

The ability displayed by the opponent is very similar to the [Key of the Controller (Paradise Inn)].

but……

It should be 'Inner Bay'!

"I see."

Goethe whispered to himself, but he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When he appeared again, he was already standing in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.

The door of the hotel opened silently.
