I'm a proper student; I only take nine kinds of potions every day.

Carter, seeing Ivan's dazed expression, patiently explained.

"That's normal. With your current status and spiritual vision, you can't hear these taboo names."

"On the mystical side, many beings are enough to cause countless extraordinary individuals to collapse simply by having a name."

"Therefore, the reading, writing, and listening of these names have all been incorporated into the system of vision and personhood."

"You need to reach the rank of Lord and break through 50 points in spiritual vision before you can normally speak and receive the name of the owner of this book."

After hearing this explanation, Evan nodded in understanding, his tone full of admiration.

"The foundation and talent at our University of Michigan are truly amazing!"

"The few hours I spent with you have greatly broadened my understanding and perspective on the extraordinary world."

"It made me realize even more how insignificant and powerless I am."

Throughout the journey, Carter displayed unfathomable knowledge and abilities, along with the incredible collection in the University of Michigan library and the large dog at the entrance...

This greatly broadens Ivan's upper limit for evaluating an organization.

In his original vision, although the Secret University was a supernatural organization with many special books, it should still be mainly composed of normal mortals.

Someone like Dr. Armitage is definitely a pillar and top-tier figure in the entire school.

But judging from the introductions along the way, the University of Michigan is much stronger and wilder than he had previously expected.

Especially the extraordinary methods that Dr. Carter used to receive him.

Evan had a vague feeling that this person's combat power was probably above that of Dr. Armitage.

Seeing the sigh on Ivan's face, Carter smiled and nodded: "The fact that you have such insights means this trip was worthwhile."

"This is also one of the core reasons why Dr. Armitage invited you to visit."

"Although you have experienced a lot along the way, overall it has been smooth sailing and there haven't been many obvious crises."

"We are all worried that this will make you too arrogant and cause you to ignore the threats and horrors hidden in the shadows."

"Ignorance is bliss; the positive meaning of these words only applies to ordinary people who have not developed spiritual vision."

"And once you step into this circle, ignorance is bliss is a purely derogatory term."

Ivan nodded in agreement: "Thank you for your guidance, Dr. Carter."

"I will remember what I saw and heard today and your help."

Carter hummed in agreement: "Today, we've temporarily resolved the threat your ancestors posed to you."

"Given her personality, she won't let you off so easily."

"But as long as you continue to demonstrate sufficient value, she will absolutely not be willing to kill you."

"Due to the contract, she has to pay a lot of extra costs."

"That's why she's always been hiding in the heart of Arkham."

"It is precisely because of these things that she is unable to deal with many remote offenders from other regions."

At this point, Carter looked at Ivan: "Are you confident about the task she gave you?"

Evan grinned and said, "I didn't say much just now, but actually I already had a grudge against those guys."

"I already killed one of those financiers the day before yesterday."

Upon hearing this answer, it seemed that the two were already familiar with each other and completely approved of Ivan...

Carter finally let go of his previous restraint and burst out laughing.

"Well done, Arkham. You need this kind of composure to face real terror."

The two had already returned to the school grounds when they started talking.

At this moment, a large number of male and female students could be seen gathered in the distance, looking towards the scene with eyes full of fervor and shock.

These dozen or so students are all extraordinary individuals, ranging in age from eighteen or nineteen to twenty-four or twenty-five.

The students stared at Evan with fervent admiration in their eyes.

Even Ivan saw a hint of fanaticism in it.

Carter was somewhat surprised: "Although you had some legends passed down by Herbert and Edward."

"But logically speaking, there shouldn't be any reason for these children to get this excited?"

At this point, Evan was completely disillusioned, now certain that his reputation had been passed down from those two two-headed ogres.

Faced with the excitement and fervor of these people, Evan could guess that the core of it all was Winston, the man from earlier.

"Senior Arkham!" The students shouted excitedly in unison as Ivan and his companion approached.

Fortunately, Ivan was thick-skinned enough. He nodded without changing his expression and waved casually.

"You're welcome. I'll share some of my unique insights with you when I have time."

"Yay!"

Upon hearing Evan's answer, everyone jumped up excitedly, their faces beaming with joy.

A petite girl exclaimed excitedly, "Yay! Now I can finally be with my beloved dog openly!"

Another bespectacled youth clenched his fist: "I hope Senior Arkham can teach me some techniques for kissing Deep Ones, so I'll have the confidence to pursue Alice!"

......

Hearing this, Ivan's eye twitched: "What on earth did I just hear?!"

Lost in thought, Carter had already led Ivan away from the students, turning right onto the road and entering a three-story stone castle filled with classical charm.

The castle was built of large, bluish-gray stone blocks, and the walls had turned bluish-black from years of smoke, fire, rain, and snow.

The narrow arched windows are fitted with heavy iron bars, giving the entire building an air of antiquity and solemnity.

As he approached the castle, Ivan's spirits lifted, and he began to sniff the air.

"The smell of a potion!?"

Carter glanced at Ivan's excited and fervent expression and sighed, "I must say, you're quite sensitive to potions."

"This is Professor Morgan's Alchemy Workshop."

"As the most outstanding apothecary in the entire University of Michigan, Professor Morgan developed more than 70% of the potion formulas of many factions that cooperated with the University of Michigan."

"He has a group of highly professional and efficient potion apprentices under his command, who can reliably supply various potions to his partners."

Upon hearing this, Ivan's eyes lit up completely: "Did Professor Morgan call me here to take a potion?"

Carter looked at Evan with interest as he observed him, noticing that Evan became excited at the mere mention of potions.

"You're half right. Besides taking the potion, I have an urgent mission for you this time."

As the two were talking, they pushed open the heavy stone door.

As soon as you enter, a strong, burnt smell hits you, mixed with herbs, sulfur, and some other strange, indescribable odor.

In the main hall on the first floor of this castle, there wasn't even a potion-making cabinet or crucible.

These scents seeped down from the second and third floors, through the hallways and cracks, to the first floor!

The smoke, barely visible to the naked eye, had completely permeated the entire space.

At that moment, an acquaintance of Ivan was sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

Eldine, the eldest daughter of the Hearst family.

Erdin, still dressed in the same yellow-green adventure outfit as in the morning, sat dignifiedly and attentively in a chair to the side.

In the main seat directly in front, a cool and handsome middle-aged man was sitting.

The middle-aged man was thin and had a well-proportioned and slender figure.

His jet-black hair was neatly combed into a slicked-back style, and his face, without glasses, had sharp features and clean lines.

He was wearing a fitted suit jacket over a dark vest and shirt.

He was toying with a silver-gray scalpel that looked incredibly sharp and sophisticated.

He exudes a level of rigor and restraint similar to that of a doctor or pharmacist.

Upon seeing Ivan and Carter walk in, the middle-aged man immediately stood up.

In an instant, he covered a distance of more than 10 meters and arrived in front of Ivan.

Then he grabbed Evan's chin with his palm, pressed it to the left, and examined Evan's fair neck.

Then, after his head twitched twice near that high, straight nose, a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's almost exactly as the legend says; the scent of various magical potions emanates from my pores."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man lowered his hand and smiled, saying, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Arkham."

"Professor Carter should have finished introducing me by now, right?"

Ivan smiled and nodded, saying, "It's an honor to meet you, Professor Morgan."

"I just heard from Professor Carter that you and Dr. Armitage together banished those children of God!"

"You are a true hero who has protected the safety of all humanity."

Hearing Evan's praise, Morgan nodded, seemingly tired of hearing it all.

He turned and walked back to his seat, gesturing for Carter and Ivan to sit down first.

Eldin, who was standing nearby, was also observing Ivan's condition.

Seeing Evan's respectful demeanor and his mature and steady words of praise, Eltin had a new opinion of Evan.

"Hmph, this kid is most likely just pretending to be crazy in front of others."

"When facing his seniors and his allies, he no longer had that crazy attitude; he was no different from a normal, respectful student."

Having revised his assessment of Evan, Ertin's eyes fell on Carter, filled with deep apprehension.

Erdin had heard of this man's reputation from various sources.

He is now one of the most feared figures by various factions.

Once everyone had arrived, Morgan casually tossed a medicine bottle to Evan.

Evan raised his hand steadily and caught the medicine bottle, then instinctively stuck out his tongue to pry open the stopper.

Just as his tongue was curled up on the cork, Morgan hurriedly called out to him.

"Stop! This potion isn't cheap; you can't just drink it like tea."

"You'll have an investigation quest coming up, and this potion is to help you complete it."

After hearing this, Evan said "Oh," then withdrew his tongue and swallowed back his saliva, his voice and expression filled with reluctance and regret.

Upon seeing this, Erdin revised his evaluation once again.

"No, this guy's still not quite right in the head!"

"Damn it, I overestimated him!"

As Eltin pondered this to herself, Morgan said, "Next, you will need to go to the Dreamland with Miss Hearst to dismantle a human trafficking organization."

"This organization, called the Thirteen White Moons, is from Utah. They are a large-scale, intercontinental human trafficking organization that worships the moon."

"Tonight they will hold a ceremony using the slaves they have sold."

"Our plan is to disrupt the ceremony and then go deep into the underground palace to take away the core items inside."

Ivan nodded knowingly: "Is there anything I need to be careful about?"

Morgan said, "This time you may have to fight directly against the monsters native to the Dreamlands."

"Mainly the Cold Plains people and their masters, the Moon Beasts."

"The Thirteen White Moons organization is backed by the United Chamber of Commerce in Utah."

"Those capitalists in the United Chamber of Commerce had a fanatical obsession with longevity and immortality."

"Originally, the Thirteen White Moons organization worshipped the normal Moon Lord, and most of its members were Bloodthirsty Races."

"But I don't know when it started, their object of worship changed from the normal moon to the moon in their dreams."

"Gradually, they came to regard those moon beasts from the dream moon as messengers of the gods."

Evan responded with an "oh," as he was a fan of online running games and knew some information about moon beasts.

They were a group of things that looked like toads.

Eldin picked up the conversation and continued, "To please these monsters, these guys are now frantically using the name of the Moon Master to plunder people from all over the world."

"Sacrificing them to those hideous monsters has completely tarnished the name of the Lord of the Moon."

"This time they went even further, intending to steal the power of the Moon Master through this sacrifice to nourish those monsters and capitalists."

At this point, an unprecedented coldness and chill appeared on Erdin's usually dignified and lovely face.

"Such blasphemous behavior must be utterly punished!"

Upon hearing this, Evan finally understood the core reason why Eldin had come here with Professor Dylan.

Since Evan knew that Eldin was a Bloodthirsty race, he was not surprised by Eldin's obsession with the moon.

Morgan continued, "Although you already know each other, I'll still give you a brief introduction."

"Eldin Yusevka Hearst, a Bloodthirsty individual with a special bloodline, a specialist in class."

"As a surviving member of the Cain faction, he is now one of the university's key investigators, and the university is currently protecting him."

"It possesses unparalleled close-combat skills and a powerful control over its blood."

Upon hearing these introductions, Evan looked at Eltin with obvious surprise on his face.

Because of these points, Klaus didn't explain them clearly back then.

It is clear that Eldin and the University of Michigan have a close working relationship and trust each other.

Morgan introduced him as: "Evan Ludwig Arkham, a witcher with great drug resistance, a specialist in class."

"As the leader of the Rhine Demon Hunter faction, he is now one of the university's investigators and the last disciple of the legendary human guardian, Dr. Armitage."

"It also possesses unparalleled close-combat skills, as well as control and mastery over various viruses."

Upon hearing these introductions, a hint of surprise flashed in Erdin's dark eyes.

Although she knew Ivan was a Witcher, she never expected that he was actually Dr. Armitage's last disciple!

She clearly remembers that rumors of Dr. Armitage ceasing to accept apprentices 10 years ago.

Unexpectedly, an exception has been made because of Ivan!

P.S.: Since the doctor is being made an exception, you can also cast more monthly tickets!
