Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 121 Several Uses of Time Stop

Ethan felt that the teacher's idea had some problems, but a good student should not embarrass the teacher. Seeing that Lindong's face was almost red to the neck, he decisively skipped the topic.

Ethan: "Three hours is enough, but a place like this where forbidden books are stored, there should be other restrictions, right?"

The price of invisibility potion on the black market is not expensive. If a bottle of intermediate magic potion can easily open the forbidden books of various paths, then the knowledge of occultism would have been rampant in this world long ago.

The contents of the forbidden book are much more valuable than potions, and he doesn't know that there are many people who like it just like Winter - the more others forbid them to read, the more they want to read.

If you write the same content in an ordinary book and put it where they can easily find it, they will lose interest instantly.

"Of course, breaking the restriction is also a necessary step in peeking at the forbidden book."

Winter really has a lot of experience. "The library in the Imperial Cathedral is restricted by a faith test. Only believers of the Goddess of Life can pass the test and enter."

"Then how did you pass it?"

"This kind of restriction is the easiest to break. Just find a believer to help you remove the restriction."

Compared to the weird prohibitions that the professors at the academy had come up with, the church library was just a beginner.

Of course, the restrictions in the college library were not that powerful. As Winter sneaked in more and more times, it turned into a battle between the professors and her. In order to prevent Winter from trespassing into the restricted area, the professors united together, pooled everyone's wisdom, and came up with many extremely complicated mechanisms.

Winter briefly told Ethan about a few of the ones that left a deep impression on her, and Ethan was deeply shocked.

This is a knowledge contest covering astronomy, geography, mathematics, and physics. You must also manipulate elements to fill in the test paper. If you answer a question incorrectly, it will cause an element explosion. The power of the explosion itself is not very powerful, but it will leave an elemental mark on those who fail the test, and it will last for several days!
This was specially designed to guard against Winter's invisibility potion. This way, everyone would know that she had been discovered trespassing into the restricted area, and there would be sufficient evidence to deduct points.

The professors used up all their life's knowledge, and Ethan could imagine them gathering together, discussing with grim faces how to make Winter, a student who did not abide by school rules and regulations, pay the price.

The dignity of professors is completely lost in front of a student, and they must save their reputation!
Ethan was curious, "Have you ever been bombed?"

"of course not."

Winter shrugged and said confidently, "But I caused them to be bombed several times."

"Isn't this the question bank they came up with? Can't they answer it themselves?"

"Of course they could answer it, but I later discovered that there was a loophole in the question bank."

"What loophole?"

"When others are answering questions, you can answer first. If you answer incorrectly, the person answering the question will be bombarded."

The restrictions in the restricted area apply to everyone. Even if the professors look up information in the restricted area, they must answer questions equally. The more complex the question bank is, the more content they have to memorize. After all, the question bank is a combination of the knowledge reserves of all professors, and everyone has blind spots in knowledge, so they can only answer according to the "reference answers".

Ethan was dumbfounded. It was not an exaggeration to describe Winter as the Dark Lord when she was a student. She really did not do any good things!
He couldn't help but mourn for the teachers in the college. "So they cancelled the question bank because they were blasted by you many times?" "No, the professors are all strong-willed people. Even if they were blasted several times, they were unwilling to cancel the question bank."

Winter recounted her evil deeds in the calmest tone, "But one time I blew up the principal, and the question bank disappeared the next day."

Come to think of it, she missed her student days a little.

Ethan dared to guarantee that the professors in the college would never miss Lin Dong's student days.

"So, you just need to know that there is no restriction in this world that can restrict your teacher!"

Lin Dong was very satisfied. Since Ethan was her favorite student, how could he not learn to break into the restricted area? Today was a good start. Breaking into the restricted area to peek at the banned books would happen once, and then it would get out of control until it became a daily pleasure.

After drinking the potion, he swaggered into St. Hillman's Cathedral.

It will not be long before the church is at its busiest. Middle-class families who have finished work will come to the church to pray. Residents of the slums tend to come later, as they usually get off work late and sometimes have to work overtime until late at night.

The ground floor of the church library is almost entirely occupied by young priests, mostly boys of fifteen or sixteen years old. Most of them are fair-skinned and wear priest robes. Reading occult books is their daily compulsory course, followed by meditation. As for what plans they have in the evening, that depends on the mood of their mentors.

Under the leadership of the chief pastor, the priests of Gear City live a very... open life.

Ethan did not stay downstairs for long. He and Winter walked up the stairs. The invisibility potion made it easy for them to avoid the sight of the librarian. Winter looked at the prohibition and said with little interest, "It is the most common faith review, no different from the Imperial Cathedral. Wait a moment... Well, OK, you can go in."

"Is this cracked?"

Ethan was stunned for a moment, but out of trust, he took a few steps forward, and sure enough, he was not recognized by the ban.

"It's very simple. We can do it by making use of the characteristics of the upgraded elements."

Lin Dong explained the principle behind it. "My ice element can stop time. During this period, I just need to move the librarian over and scan her, then put her back, and the restriction will be lifted."

The time-stop mover appeared!
Ethan was shocked. Could it be that his teacher had learned how to use time stop from Mr. Dio?
According to his observation, the duration of the teacher's elemental upgrade is linked to the strength of magic power. Although he doesn't know how long it can last at the limit, he can be sure that it will be much longer than 10 seconds.

"How did you move her?"

The librarian looked much more robust than Winter. She was a burly woman with an unfriendly face. The young priests avoided her gaze when registering them and seemed not to like dealing with her.

While studying witches, Ethan discovered that his teacher was a typical magician, light and flexible, with less strength than him.

"When casting domain magic, objects that are kept stationary will lose mass."

Winter said, "Okay, go find the book, I'll keep watch for you here, and I'll let you know if anyone comes."
