Volume 6 Agate Chapter 544: Secret Talk
This morning.
On the top floor of the "Wisdom" main building on the left side of St. Byron's College, in the principal's office.
"This is the first time we meet, Your Majesty Jack."
A gray-haired old man was sitting on a chair and spoke with a smile to the black-hatted gentleman on the other side of the table.
"Yes, Principal Hugo."
Chen Lun nodded slightly.
"Thank you very much for agreeing to my request to work in the college. The environment here and the collection of books in the large library are very helpful for my research."
Principal Hugo returned last night. The librarian , so he came to visit early this morning.
"That's nothing. Scholar Sulaya and Mage Carmen both explained the reason in their letters. On the contrary, I think it's a blessing that the academy can be the place where Your Majesty studies the power of myths."
Hugo said with a smile.
Chen Lun didn't know whether the old principal was sincere or not, but he didn't care. As long as his goal was achieved, it was fine.
"By the way, Principal Hugo, the secondary building on the east side of the teaching building is a bit old and may need renovation. Also, I heard in the library last time that many students talked about the desks and chairs in the academy being too rotten, and we should also purchase a batch of new ones..."
Chen Lun put down his teacup and smiled casually.
"Thanks to the help of the college, I plan to donate some money. What do you think of the principal?"
"Of course I'd be happy to accept."
There was a flash of surprise in Principal Hugo's eyes, but his expression was still smiling.
"Well, I plan to donate 100,000 Blue Gabos as a token of my gratitude... and another 100,000 Blue Gabos to repay the college for educating Lucy Payne. I once met this student, and she plans to follow me to study in the future. I agreed."
Chen Lun spoke.
Hugo immediately understood what he meant.
This was actually equivalent to using money to offset the training that the academy had given Lucy in exchange for her freedom, and now they were even. Of course, the so-called training, to put it bluntly, was just two copies of the extraordinary knowledge of the galaxy...
"Too much, Your Majesty Jack."
Hugo shook his head.
Although he didn't care about the huge sum of money, he knew that the academy's kindness to Lucy was not worth 100,000 blue gabos, and he didn't want to take advantage of it.
"Not much, Principal Hugo. I still need your approval to ask Mr. Galio to give me the extraordinary knowledge of the Star Path... After all, I don't have the corresponding knowledge at hand, so I can't give Lucy too much guidance."
Chen Lun smiled.
Hugo was stunned when he heard this, and then he smiled.
"So that's how it is..."
He thought about it, and finally nodded and agreed.
"Since it is His Majesty Jack's request, I will personally make the decision to give all the extraordinary knowledge of Sequence 9 to Sequence 5 of the Star Pathway to His Majesty."
"Thanks."
Chen Lun thanked him softly.
He didn't know what he was thinking about. He coughed, raised his head and asked:
"Principal Hugo, could you also give me the extraordinary knowledge of the three paths of the sun, the deep sea, and the earth... my other students may be able to use it."
The scene suddenly became cold for a few seconds.
Principal Hugo opened his mouth slightly, his smile was a little stiff, and finally said in a deep voice:
"That may not be..."
"I will donate another 200,000 blue gabo, principal."
Chen Lun said seriously.
"It's not about money, Your Majesty Jack, but..."
"Five hundred thousand blue gabo."
Chen Lun slowly stood up from his chair with a polite smile on his face.
"I think the building on the west side should also be renovated..."
Even though Principal Hugo was a high-ranking saint, he was surprised by the huge amount, but he still shook his head and declined:
"Your Majesty Jack, you misunderstood. Knowledge is not a commodity. It cannot be bought with money."
"Principal Hugo, you should also know that although the mid- and low-sequence extraordinary knowledge is precious, it is also circulated in the mysterious field. These 500,000 Blue Gabors completely exceed their value. It is nothing more than a matter of how long it takes to collect them."
Chen Lun persuaded sincerely.
"And I don't want any knowledge of magic, just the three paths I just mentioned... My students need it."
"this……"
Principal Hugo looked at the serious expression of the gentleman in the black hat and heard his last words echoing in his ears. After a few seconds of silence, he couldn't help but smile and shook his head.
"Well, you did convince me."
"Principal Hugo, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the students."
Chen Lun took off his hat and bowed slightly.
In fact, he had calculated that the other party would agree. After all, this knowledge was only of low to medium sequence, and was not the magical path valued by the Madman School. Therefore, relying on the huge sum of money and "Jackspeight's face", Hugo would definitely agree if he was not stupid.
…
…
…
That afternoon, Chen Lun obtained the extraordinary knowledge he wanted from the administrator Galio in the secret collection room on the fifth floor of the library.
"Your Majesty Jack, thank you for your huge donation, but I have to remind you... studying the knowledge of adjacent paths is already very dangerous. Knowledge of non-adjacent paths is not only useless to this path, but also brings great harm."
Galio pushed two thick stacks of books over and spoke solemnly.
"Thanks for the reminder, His Majesty Galio."
Chen Lun smiled slightly.
"These are just for my students. I don't study them myself."
"I see. Your students are really lucky to have met a mentor as powerful and responsible as you..."
Galio chuckled.
Chen Lun nodded modestly, took the books and walked to the corner of the secret library, and began to read them alone.
Wow...
Soon, in less than ten minutes, Chen Lun had memorized all the sequence knowledge contained in these books.
The panel pops up a prompt box at the right time——
[Having mastered ten paths of sequence seven extraordinary knowledge, I wish the "knowledge collector" to be promoted...]
[Having mastered ten paths of sequence six extraordinary knowledge, I wish the "knowledge collector" to be promoted...]
[Having mastered ten paths of sequence five extraordinary knowledge, I wish the "knowledge collector" to be promoted...]
【Knowledge Collector LV5 (Blessing)】
Blessing Description: A blessing given to you by an unknown being.
Blessing effect: The experience points gained through mysterious knowledge will be greatly improved, there is a high probability of gaining skill points and attribute points from reading, and willpower +25.
"I have mastered all the low and medium sequence knowledge without realizing it through my stamp collecting plan of supernatural knowledge... In addition, I have also mastered the knowledge of Sequence 4 and Sequence 3 of Flesh and Blood, Conspiracy, Nature, Magic, and Destiny, as well as Sequence 4 of the Black Sun Pathway."
Chen Lun thought to himself, a satisfied expression on his face.
'Now that I have the fifth-level knowledge collector's blessing, I can gain more experience points and points from reading books in the future. That's great.'
A mine owner felt quite touched at this moment.
Donating money to charity will pay off...
…
…
…
A few days later, it was a brand new Monday.
Chen Lun went to the fifth floor of the library to read as usual.
Galio at the registration desk left his seat for the first time and walked straight towards him. He stood two meters away and whispered:
"I'm sorry to bother you, Your Majesty... It's just that Principal Hugo suddenly has something to invite you to, so he asked me to tell you that if you are free, you may go to his office."
"Okay, I see. Thanks for letting me know."
Chen Lun responded with a smile, then closed the black-covered mythological book in his hand and stood up, leaning on his white cane.
Next second.
He took a step forward and his figure disappeared on the spot.
He then appeared at the door of the principal's office.
Knock knock...
Chen Lun knocked on the door gently.
"Come in."
Principal Hugo's voice came from inside.
Chen Lun pushed the door open and saw the old principal standing by the window overlooking the college environment outside. As he came in, Hugo slowly turned around and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty Jack, I have something I would like to ask for your help."
"Um?"
Chen Lun was a little confused.
The old principal did not beat around the bush and explained directly:
"During this visit to the Miracle Academy Exchange, I learned a piece of news from an old friend that the former magic god, the 'Miracle Knight ' Honorino, left some traces in the Netherworld... I thought about it for two days and finally made up my mind to explore it. I wonder if you are interested in joining us?"
As he spoke, Hugo also took out his chips.
A polyhedral crystal ball, two high-level lunar mysterious substances and a gray vintage pocket watch.
"Of course, these are the rewards. Your Majesty can choose any one of them."
The task prompt box pops up.
[Trigger A-level side quest: Journey to the Netherworld]
Mission Description: Principal Hugo of St. Byron College has been following the footsteps of the sages. This time, he learned about the "Miracle Knight" Honorino and planned to go to the underworld to explore, and invited you to join him.
Mission objective: Help Hugo find the traces left by Honorino.
Mission rewards: 800,000 experience points, 1,000 Blue Gabors, Hugo's favorability, and Hugo's collection (choose one of the three).
Chen Lun calmly clicked on the details of the "collection". The polyhedron crystal ball and the vintage pocket watch were both A-level artifacts. The former had a strong divination effect, while the latter was a rare storage-type artifact. The space inside was ten times that of the Blood Poetry Ring, and it had the effect of retracing history for ten seconds.
"They are all good things..."
He thought to himself.
However, Chen Lun didn't know much about the underworld.
In his previous life, he only stopped at the middle sequence of the Moon Path, and the version at that time had just reached version 2.1. He only had a vague understanding of the so-called astral world, the netherworld, and the dream world, and was completely unqualified to access such high-end information.
"But this is a good opportunity to learn a little bit, but..."
Chen Lun thought for a moment, then looked up and said to the old principal:
"Principal Hugo, I am happy to join you in exploring the Netherworld, but although these three items are rare, they are not what I want..."
"Oh? Then what does His Majesty Jack want?"
Principal Hugo was not angry, but said with a smile.
"Mages have always followed the principle of equal exchange. The journey to the Netherworld is somewhat dangerous, so Your Majesty may as well state your requirements. I will try my best to meet them."
Chen Lun nodded slightly.
Then, he took out the black book that Lucy had picked up by accident.
"Principal Hugo also knows that the purpose of my coming to Saint Byron College is to delve into high-level power and deeply develop the ability of this path by absorbing knowledge from adjacent paths... So I want a magic myth book like this one."
He believed that given Hugo's identity and status, it was impossible that he did not have such a collection.
Sure enough, after thinking for a while, the old principal nodded and agreed.
"I have two similar books that I can give to Your Majesty as a reward."
"Thanks."
Chen Lun was delighted and smiled softly.
"Then please make some preparations, Your Majesty Jack, and meet at the Bridge of Thoughts tonight at 11:30. We will then officially enter the Netherworld at midnight... In addition, I have also invited a helper, the Veil Witch, Your Majesty Ibrayin."
The old principal continued.
Chen Lun was a little surprised and recalled the Battle of Nabil Forest Castle, where he had killed the opponent's incarnation and had a conflict with him.
However, with his current strength, he had nothing to fear. If the other party was safe and sound, he would just pretend that nothing had happened. But if he took the opportunity to retaliate, he would just kill him in the Netherworld...
As for the old principal?
"I believe what the great scholar Suraya said is right. This is an old fellow who can judge the situation."
Chen Lun looked calm and his eyes were deep.
