Chapter 2556
All in all, it's the difference between living inside a prison fence and living inside a villa's walls.
But of course Duck wouldn't point that out.
If you want to make progress, you have to learn.
The reason is simple.
But not everyone can understand it.
Although Charles also wanted to make progress, it was not at the level of magic.
There is no need to say more.
…
They waited in the office for a while until the last person - Professor Medea Bartholomew arrived, and then left the office to start tonight's business.
Professor Medea is a fortune teller and has a thorough understanding of [destiny].
Since the hidden trial of St. Marian College involves [Fate], it would not be wrong to invite her to act together.
"Here, look at the [Fate Talisman]
? "
Professor Medea walked up to Duck and patted him on the shoulder.
Dak stretched out his hand, took out the [Fate Talisman], and let her check it at will.
After reaching the third grade, Dak stopped taking the elective course [Astrology], and he didn't meet Professor Mitya for a while.
But there is no feeling of unfamiliarity between the two of them, they are still familiar with each other.
After Professor Medea carefully inspected the [Fate Talisman], he couldn't help but marveled: "There are things in this world that can forcibly change fate."
Dark asked curiously: "Changing destiny...the god who controls destiny should be able to do it, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case." Professor Medea returned the [Fate Talisman] to him and said, "Anyway, you have to know that this is not something that can be changed casually. Changing a person's destiny is equivalent to changing the world line. , it’s the whole world that changes, not just one person.”
"Is there such a thing?" Dak frowned suddenly.
Professor Medea leaned into his ear and whispered: "So, either this hidden trial goes beyond common sense and involves a level of knowledge that I have not touched. Or its actual function is not Change someone’s life.”
Duck couldn't help but fell into thought.
…
Professor Medea's words can be said to have subverted Dark's understanding of this hidden trial.
But ultimately, it is just an internal reason.
If you are only pursuing superficial effects, you don’t need to pay too much attention to these principles.
Moreover, he did not use the hidden trial to change his [fate].
This is all thanks to [Fate Talisman]...
But when it comes to [Fate Talisman], let’s combine it with Professor Medea’s explanation.
Dark suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Sure enough, it's not something that can really change a person's fate? Since you can use the [Fate Talisman], logically it should be 'cover', not 'change'. It's only temporary. Only by 'covering' can it be restored to its original state after being taken away..."
He pursues his own logic and explores the details of the changes in [fate].
The sky darkened, and magic lights lit up in the corridors of the castle.
Patrolling golems began to appear in remote and quiet corners of the castle.
Duck followed the professors and gradually climbed to the upper levels of the castle.
After arriving on the sixth floor of the castle, Principal Arte said to Professor Sylph: "Here comes the pen."
Professor Sylph took out the box from the bag and unlocked the seal. The [Shikodi's Quill] gradually floated in the silvery white brilliance.
Principal Arte reached out and grabbed [Shikodi's quill] and handed it back to Charles's hand.
The artifact returned, but Charles didn't show any excitement. When he grabbed the quill, he even shook it.
It seemed that last week's experience had indeed left him with some psychological shadow.
After all, he did escape death and almost lost his soul.
That he could offer to try again and get here is a testament to his courage.
Principal Arte raised his hand, stopping Professor Pavard Jones' habitual encouragement and giving Charles some time to adjust himself.
Two or three minutes later, Charles took a deep breath and activated [Scotty's Quill] again.
Suddenly, a strong divine aura emanated from it.
"I offer my most sincere prayers to the goddess in charge of the future, hoping that the goddess can give me guidance on my destiny."
Charles spread his hand, and the [Shikoti's quill] floated again for about: ←fly♦" Group: "夿／/无＜￥奇｜LU□"⑥③《㈣俬er" rose up, in the palm of his hand from a distance It stopped not far away, and then slowly started turning as if it was searching for something.
Perhaps his "opportunity" was indeed insufficient, and this [Shikoti's quill] turned quite slowly.
But it is turning after all.
This shows that Charles' "opportunity" is not completely absent.
Dark and the professors looked at each other, and they couldn't help but wonder whether the reason why Charles encountered the "abnormality" was because his "opportunity" was shallow, but he forcibly opened the hidden trial, and thus was rejected by the trial?
This guess is not impossible, but the premise is that there is a "self" in the hidden trial, or there is an underlying logic like AI.
But then, the possibility of Charles encountering "abnormality" again will be blocked, and he must be on guard against it.
Then I waited patiently for a long time.
When Charles himself became anxious, the [Scotty's Quill] finally chose a direction to guide Charles.
Everyone relaxed a little and followed him towards the place guided by the quill.
[Shikodi's Quill] is also slowly adjusting during the guidance process, as if the location of the hidden trial is also changing.
It wasn't until everyone arrived somewhere on the eighth floor of the castle that it finally stopped, and the author pointed at a wall.
"A wall?"
Duck was confused.
The entrances to previous trials were doors, windows, and other things that could be opened and closed for entry and exit.
This time it pointed to a wall, which was indeed something special.
He immediately thought that that wall might be one of the entrances to the secret passage.
If that's the case, Charles' hidden trial will coincide with the secret passage, and that's the real danger!
But fortunately, the worst situation did not occur.
Charles walked to the wall and groped twice, and he actually found the mechanism hidden on the wall.
He pressed the button and pushed it, and the wall suddenly turned at a right angle like a door, revealing the inner layout.
That turned out to be a secret room hidden within the wall!
Duckton was surprised.
He turned around and saw that the professors were also quite surprised. Apparently they didn't know that such a secret room existed in the castle.
Perhaps the existence of the secret passage took away their attention, so that they ignored this too ordinary secret room.
"Maybe it's the remnants of Halloween," Professor Kazel said. "Check?"
Charles said: "Then..."
Professor Silver said: "This secret room has nothing to do with the trial. You can enter the trial. If you encounter anything unusual, exit as soon as possible. We will wait here."
Charles looked at the black vortex blocking half of the door, swallowed briefly, then reached out to touch the vortex, and was sucked into it in the blink of an eye.
Professor Kazel entered the secret room through the door on the other side.
The secret room was full of clutter, and all kinds of things were scattered around.
Professor Kazel glanced over it quickly and frowned.
Duck followed and looked around with a little doubt, and suddenly realized the problem.
This secret room is equivalent to half a student dormitory.
Things are piled up and messy inside, but basically everything is there.
Among the things placed directly on the table or on the ground, there are books, stationery, jars, tableware, clothing... and even some magic materials.
But none of these things are important in themselves.
The important thing is that they are free of dust and appear to have been used recently.
"Someone lives here?"
Duck thought of this immediately.
Professor Kazel nodded with a serious face: "It's almost the same."
…
"There are people living here, reading books, reading newspapers, and there are even traces of experiments."
Professor Kazel walked to a small open space in the middle, squatted down and touched the ground, and actually pulled out a hair from it.
If this hair belongs to someone who lives here, then the professors can easily use it as a medium to find out where that person is.
But at a glance, Dak knew that it was [the hair of a magical beast]!
"This is the hair of a magical beast." Professor Kazel twirled the hair and took a look at it and said, "The hair of a magical beast is only used in first-year teaching. Who is the first-year professor of magic?"
Professor Silver said: "It's Palmer Tomlinson."
"Tomlinson?" Professor Kazel said, "Do you need to ask him?"
Professor Silver glanced at the door hiding the trial and hesitated slightly.
But Principal Arte said directly: "Call and ask."
"Okay." Professor Silver immediately took out his professor card and summoned Professor Palmer Tomlinson.
They then continued searching the secret room.
In addition to various sundries, the most scattered items in this secret room were burnt pages.
It seems someone ran out of paper and it was all burned.

Burn after reading?
Apparently not.
With so many burnt pages scattered randomly in the room, it can only be said that the people living in this secret room do not pay much attention to the contents of these pages.
Mostly, it was just handled casually.
Duck picked up a piece of paper and looked at it.
The piece of paper was not completely burnt, and writing remained in the corner.
The handwriting is quite clear, using contemporary characters. Since there are only a few words, there is no association.
He thought for a moment, then picked up a few more pieces of paper and looked at them.
After looking at a few more pictures, I finally found some traces, but not many.
He turned to the books scattered on the table.
