I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 26 The Arrival of a Big Shot

Not long after, the sound of air being torn apart was heard incessantly, and dozens of divine rainbows appeared on the horizon, rushing towards the ancient castle at high speed.

Upon seeing that the visitors were merely local minor powers, the members of both families secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rumble..."

On the other side of the sky, clouds surged and radiant with light, and a castle made entirely of divine jade burst through the air, rapidly approaching.

This was a powerful and transcendent force. The members of the Crown Guard family and the Laurent family changed color. It was exactly what they feared had come to pass.

Meanwhile, from another direction, a wave like a tsunami came from, and dozens of ferocious and terrifying beasts cleared the way ahead.

Each one was like a small mountain, with three heads, and its whole body was surrounded by a deep blue flame.

Behind them, a colossal creature with nine heads resembling dragons but possessing wings pulled a golden chariot, sweeping across the sky.

The expressions of the Crown Guard family and the Laurent family changed drastically as they recognized the nine enormous creatures.

That was the Avici Hell Dragon, an extremely terrifying magical beast that even a great mage of Donaldson's caliber couldn't subdue, yet now it had become someone else's mount.

It's obvious without even thinking that the person inside that carriage was an absolutely terrifying big shot!

"I never expected even someone of this stature would come in person..."

An elder of the Laurent family frowned. The family's top experts had not yet arrived, which would be very detrimental to their later struggle for Diablo's treasure.

"Boom!"

Dozens of three-headed ferocious beasts led the way, and the nine-headed Avici Demon Dragon pulled a magnificent golden chariot to a stop in front of the ancient castle.

Everyone in the Crown Guard family and the Laurent family felt a chill in their hearts, all intimidated by this mysterious and powerful figure who had suddenly appeared. Not knowing who this important figure was, they dared not step forward to pay their respects.

The dozen or so female cultivators from the Celestial Immortal Academy exchanged glances and whispered among themselves, wondering which important figure had personally descended upon them.

After the nine-headed Avici Hell Dragon stopped, the important figure inside the carriage did not make any move and did not appear.

On the other side, the castle built of colorful jade seemed to be wary of the people in the carriage, and remained quietly suspended in the air, not approaching.

This was just an interlude; everyone knew that more and more families and forces would arrive before dawn.

Diablo's treasure is a tempting prize, and everyone wants a piece of it.

The light soared into the sky, and more and more people arrived at the front of the black volcano. However, they were all small families and forces, unable to stir up any waves and incomparable to those transcendent large families.

"None of them are easy to deal with; it'll be difficult to fish in troubled waters," Shi Daohan muttered to himself.

She was all alone, so it was practically unrealistic for her to gain any advantage from these powerful and influential forces.

However, she was content, as she had at least obtained a mysterious parchment scroll on the Demon Emperor's platform inside the castle beforehand, so it wasn't a complete loss.

Thinking of this, she took out the parchment scroll. After opening it, dazzling rays of light burst out, so bright that Shi Daohan could hardly open his eyes.

This parchment scroll is very rough in texture. When fully unfolded, it is more than three feet long and radiates endless divine light, dazzling and magnificent.

It was covered with densely packed writing, but the characters were so small that they were almost invisible to the naked eye.

Each character is like a twinkling star, shining brightly.

Shi Daohan immediately thought of the Adoram Bible mentioned by Dean Donaldson and others!

"I've actually obtained a treasure of the Western magical world." Shi Daohan felt his mouth go dry. To be called a treasure, this parchment scroll must contain many exquisite and profound magic spells!

She squinted, carefully examining the parchment in her hand, but the writing on it was smaller than ants; she could only see a blurry shadow and couldn't make out what it said at all.

Those words were like stars, radiating divine brilliance and dazzlingly bright.

Shi Daohan speculated that this was probably not the complete Adoram Bible, but only a single page from it.

She glanced around and found that no one had noticed what was happening to her, which made her breathe a sigh of relief.

She found an inconspicuous corner to hide in and began to strain her eyes to see the contents of the parchment.

She swept her fingers across her eyes, and her pupils immediately began to shimmer with a faint purple light.

"Yadolan scripture"

At the beginning of the parchment scroll, she saw more than twenty characters, shining brightly and shimmering with light.

"What the hell?" Shi Daohan couldn't understand the characters, but they looked like a few words.

She continued reading, the characters were as small as hair, and after just a quick glance, she felt a sharp pain in her eyes.

The light emanating from those words was like needles, shining directly into the eyes; the more one tried to see them clearly, the less one could discern them.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Shi Daohan's eyes were swollen and extremely painful, forcing her to look away, and it took a long time for them to recover.

"How could this happen..."

Shi Daohan was puzzled. If one ignored the words on the parchment, it felt soft and gentle, not aggressive. But if one tried to look at the contents, it would sting the eyes like needles.

"You write it but don't let anyone see it, what's the point?"

Shi Daohan thought to himself, and couldn't help but mutter a complaint.

"Could there be some kind of restriction?" She thought of this possibility again, so she took out the Wanhuji, which was said to be able to break all laws, and placed it on the parchment scroll, but there was no reaction for a long time.

"If it's not a restriction, then what is the reason?"

Shi Daohan pondered for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable explanation, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

She put the parchment scroll into her storage ring, deciding to take it out and study it slowly after returning to Horagaka Academy.

She turned and left immediately; this mess was no longer something she could get involved in.

Having already obtained the Adoran Codex, which is revered as a treasure in the Western magical world, even if it is only a single page, it is still priceless. What more could she possibly want?

She retreated silently, and when she returned to the outskirts of this primeval forest, she also caught a few ferocious birds and beasts, intending to take them back to guard the mountain gate for her.

When she returned to Horajaka Academy, the sky was already just beginning to lighten.

She used Cardinal Wan to break the academy's barrier and returned to Mount Santa Maria without a sound.

Beside Jingyue Lake at the foot of the mountain, an antique-style pavilion still has its lights on.

"This kid is indeed hardworking and diligent; it wasn't for nothing that I gave him a hand," Shi Daohan chuckled.

Instead of returning to her palace on the mountain peak, she found a suitable fishing spot by Jingyue Lake, built a simple platform there, and sat there quietly fishing.

"I wonder how Dean Donaldson and the others are doing now," Shi Daohan thought to himself.

The Demon Emperor's tomb has appeared in the world, and those who have arrived at the scene are all extraordinary families and forces from the Western world. Each of them is very powerful. It is unknown whether Dean Donaldson and his group will suffer losses when they compete with those people for the opportunity.

She came to Horagaka Magic Academy as an exchange student, and after three years of study, she can return to Shushan to serve as an elder.

To be honest, she didn't really want to get too involved with the people here, but she couldn't let go of some of them in her heart.

After all, from the first day she enrolled, Headmaster Donaldson had always been very kind to her, giving her the impression of a kind old grandfather. How could she not care?

As dawn broke, Kalman yawned and walked out of the pavilion. He was stunned when he saw Shi Daohan sitting by the lake fishing.

"Master, Master?"

He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was hallucinating because he hadn't slept all night.

"I've been fishing for ages and haven't caught a single fish. Looks like I'll have to bring back some fry from outside next time." Shi Daohan tossed the fishing rod aside.

"Master, why are you up so early today?" Kalman jogged over.

"Early my foot! I haven't slept a wink all night." Shi Daohan yawned, then turned to look at Kalman, who had dark circles under his eyes and looked like a panda, and teased with a smile, "Weren't you also working late into the night? Pretty hardworking, huh?"

Upon hearing this, Kalman scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and explained, "Last night, just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard some noises. I thought another demon had come for me, so I got up and started reading the ancient book you gave me, hoping to learn more runes that I could use for self-defense..."

At this point, he looked nervously at Shi Daohan.

"Master, did you hear the commotion last night? It sounded like a ferocious beast roaring. What was that?"

Shi Daohan naturally couldn't tell him what happened last night. She tapped his forehead with her finger and said, "Don't pry into things in society. You're safe in the academy, right under my nose. Don't be suspicious."

Kalman rubbed his forehead and whispered an "Oh".

"Come on, let me see the results of your hard work, burning the midnight oil."

Shi Daohan raised his hand and waved, and a stack of blank yellow talisman paper and a cinnabar brush appeared in front of Kalman.

Kalman rubbed his hands nervously and excitedly, eager to see the results of his all-night study session.

He took the cinnabar brush, recalled the runes he had seen in the book, and then held his breath and began to write. He drew ten talismans in one go, but in the end only three of them were effective.

"The process of drawing the talisman cannot be interrupted; it must be done in one go, with a single stroke."

Shi Daohan pointed to the failed attempts and explained them earnestly, finally praising, "However, the fact that you managed to get three successful ones is already quite good. Keep up the good work!"

"Hmm!" Kalman was greatly encouraged and nodded seriously.

"Alright, let's go have breakfast first."

"Huh? Don't we need to offer incense at the ancestral hall first?"

"I'll make an exception for you today, no need." Shi Daohan waved his hand.

It's only around five o'clock, more than an hour before class starts. There are only a few people scattered around in the cafeteria, and most students haven't gotten up yet.

"Wow, they even have wontons for breakfast today?"

Shi Daohan was surprised to see wontons in the shop window.

"I added this especially for you. I was worried you wouldn't be used to our food, so I used my family connections to get the cafeteria to learn how to cook some Eastern food." Kalman proudly raised his head.

"Haha, you're so thoughtful." Shi Daohan patted his shoulder with satisfaction, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

"By the way, Master, I have a water-attribute talent. If I want to draw talismans for fire-attribute magic, will it have any impact?" Back at the dining table, Kalman asked the question that had been puzzling him all night.

Shi Daohan nodded and said, "The mutual generation and restraint of the five elements naturally have an impact. You can draw it, but the power it exerts will be greatly weakened."

"So that's how it is."

Kalman originally thought that drawing talismans was like learning magic, and that a water-attribute talent could only learn water-related magic and not magic of other attributes.

Now that he knows he can learn talismans with other attributes, he is naturally overjoyed.

Although the effect will be greatly reduced, the water attribute talent can still unleash flames with a wave of the hand. Just imagining this scene is incredibly cool!

As a freshman, Shi Daohan is currently learning basic, ordinary, and low-level magic, which is not difficult for her at all. She can basically master it after just a quick glance.

She found the classes this morning rather dull and boring, unable to muster any interest, and kept thinking about what happened last night.

"Master, are we still going to the square to sell talismans today?" Kalman asked.

"No rush, come with me to the academy library first." Shi Daohan walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

She decided to go to the library to find some magic books to study on her own, because the magic the academy was currently teaching her was all simple and basic, which was not difficult for her at all. Whether she attended classes or not didn't really matter, so she might as well find some books to study on her own.

Of course, she also needed to find some books in the library that could help her learn foreign languages ​​so that she could understand the contents written on the parchment scrolls in the future.

The Adoran Codex is revered as a treasure in the Western magical world, a magical scripture that many people dream of possessing. Now that she carries it with her, it's like a hot potato. If word gets out, who knows how much trouble it will attract.

Therefore, she didn't think about having Kalman help her translate and decided to learn the foreign language herself.

Upon arriving at the library, Shi Daohan asked Kalman to find her various high-level magic books with different magical attributes, as well as books and dictionaries on restrictions and seals. She also registered the books under Kalman's name to avoid attracting too much attention.

"Master, why are you looking for so many books?"

Kalman had a bitter look on his face. He was carrying a huge pile of books that were higher than his head, which obstructed his view and made him stagger as he walked.

"What they teach in class is too simple, and they only teach one thing a day. At this pace, it's not as effective as what I learn on my own," Shi Daohan said.

"But without a professor's guidance, it's easy to make mistakes when you learn on your own," Kalman said with some concern.
