"Mr. Richard, can I apply for an independent lab?"
Elvin stopped the librarian who was passing by in the shadow library in the Unknown Place (in fact, this place was part of the Princeton Witchcraft Garden's "Rune Workshop").
After officially joining Violet Eyes, Elvin spent most of his time in the library, eagerly absorbing all the mystical knowledge. He also watched a few experiments conducted by the old members of the organization.
Although he did not know many people, he was familiar with Mr. Richard, the librarian on duty.
"Of course, Mr. Elvin. You can use the lab for free as a basic benefit, but you'll have to pay for all the consumables yourself. "Richard smiled and simply agreed to Elvin's request.
"No problem!"
Elvin was very satisfied that the library could provide free basic knowledge. He did not expect that the consumables would be free, not to mention that many of the materials related to witchcraft were not cheap, and it was difficult to collect them.
Violet Eyes was a secret society. Although it had its own secret demands, it was not a charity organization.
After getting the key to the lab, Elvin saw that Richard was about to leave. He suddenly said, "Oh right, Mr. Richard. Although I don't know how many people are qualified to read the Shadow Library, other than Dilis, Alba, and a few other familiar faces, there aren't many other members of the organization. "
Richard turned around and smiled mysteriously. "Do your best, Mr. Elvin! If you can meet the requirements, you'll know where the others are. "
"Is that so?"
Elvin did not know why, but he could try to guess.
As a secret society, it was impossible for everyone to come and go as they pleased. There must be some kind of internal promotion mechanism, and the members would be recruited into the real core through assessment.
Many of the senior members, who he had never met before, probably had more power and other activities. They were not interested in the basic knowledge in the Shadow Library.
He temporarily put aside these problems that did not have much to do with him and immersed himself in his witchcraft experiments.
In the evening, Elvin was the last to step out of the library before the door was locked.
Although he was a little tired, he successfully tested the potions he got from Blood Hand's stronghold. He combined them with the basic knowledge he collected from the "Potionology" section to determine their uses.
The process of identification and the magical effects of the potions gave Elvin a great sense of achievement!
He went to the school cafeteria to have a quick dinner. When he returned to the dorm, his roommate Crail was already back.
"Staying in the library until it's closed again. How can a genius like you work so hard?"
Other than the regular short training classes, Elvin spent most of his time in the "library". Crell was already used to it. However, he still didn't know that the library Elvin went to was actually the "Shadow Library" that he had always dreamed of.
Because of the contract, Ellibrary's contract, the library could not tell anyone.
Even so, in less than two months, Elvin's position in Crail's heart had skyrocketed.
Top three in all subjects, a genius with the best overall score. He was destined to be valued by the military and had a bright future. The inventor of the practical treatment for "scurvy". His potential influence was shocking. It was only a matter of time before he was recognized.
Not to mention, with two extremely important medals, he had entered the eyes of the higher-ups of the major organizations. This was an achievement that many people could only dream of in their lifetime!
"Haha, if you want, you can train with me every day. I'm willing to share my experience with you, Crail. " Looking at Crail who was lying on the sofa and eating snacks like a salted fish, Elvin said jokingly.
"Forget it. If I could endure hardships, I would've enrolled in the school a long time ago. Why would I go through the short-term training classes to gain experience …"
Salted fish were indeed salty. However, Crail did not know that he had given up such a rare opportunity.
Inspired by Ilante, Elvin was confident that he could quickly find the best training method for a Knight whose strength was lower than his own. For the sake of his roommate, he was willing to help Crail.
However, it seemed that Lin Luoran was not that interested in improving his strength, so Elvin did not force him.
"By the way, I've compiled the information about Blood Hand. Take a look. Although I don't know why you're investigating this organization, I suggest that you don't get involved with them.
This kind of dark organization is very difficult to deal with. Once you get involved, you won't be able to get rid of them. Blood Hand, in particular, is very powerful. There are many Transcendent experts in the organization. "
Crail handed Elvin a bound document, but at the same time warned Elvin. Clearly, he was reminding his roommate out of kindness, afraid that he would be too rash and take the initiative to provoke such a troublesome evil organization.
Even if his Dawson family was the local tyrant of New Ewen Harbor, he did not want to have anything to do with those guys.
Elvin thanked him in his heart and agreed repeatedly.
After returning to his room, he could not wait to read the information.
Blood Hand was a transnational dark organization that had influence in many countries. Although it had not been many years since it appeared, it was developing rapidly. It had recruited many bandits, scoundrels, and thugs. While colluding with the rich and powerful to deliver dirty benefits, it was also protected. Its influence was extremely huge.
On a certain level, its background was not a secret. It was like a beast showing its fangs, making people not dare to act rashly.
Their main business was smuggling, slave trading, operating entertainment venues, and so on. They did all kinds of gray and black businesses. Moreover, they could be said to be vicious and merciless. Just like their name, those who offended "Blood Hand" would usually see blood, and they would even implicate their friends and family.
Legend had it that they had a unique path of Transcendence, leaning towards bloody evil. Surprisingly, they did not attract the attention of the orthodox churches like the Sorcerers did …
Elvin continued to flip through the information.
The information that Crail had compiled should have come from different sources. One of them actually directly confirmed the legend of the path of Transcendence. It also allowed Elvin to have a general judgment of the ability displayed by the man in the trench coat.
Path of Transcendence: Scarlet Archer: Hold an evil sacrificial ceremony, sacrifice intelligent life to summon demons from the lower world, and consume the blood of demons …
The "Scarlet Archer" was good at using mid-range weapons such as throwing knives and muskets. It was very suitable for them to display their abilities in places like the city where the terrain was complicated and there were many people.
Even if the ceremony was successful, the evil side of human nature would be completely stimulated. At the same time, it would be accompanied by flaws such as irritation and instability of mental state. The advancement of their power would require them to continue committing crimes and collecting the negative emotions of their victims. The degree of danger was even greater than that of the "evil" Sorcerers who were hiding!
The information also pointed out that the authorities were highly suspicious that the recent cases of children going missing near New Ewen Harbor were related to them.
In this era where turbulent undercurrents were hidden under the calm surface, the purpose of collecting children with natural Transcendence was nothing more than to nurture thugs from young, or to use them as sacrificial offerings to satisfy the special desires of some powerful existence.
No matter what, the outcome would not be good.
At the end of the information, it was also noted that the City Defense Committee had already joined forces with the major guilds to investigate, but … there were no results at the moment.
