Hearing this, Morpheus was stunned for a moment. He could see the woman's fatigue, helplessness, and pain.

He was very clear about the love this woman had for him. Because he was clear about it, he knew that this was definitely not giving up, but a real hope that he could live a better life.

But Morpheus just shook his head at this behavior: "I won't go to Academy City, Mom."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "I respect your opinion. I just made a suggestion, but I think you should read the relevant introduction of Academy City first. Maybe you will want to go there when the time comes."

Morpheus continued to shake his head: "I have been paying attention to Academy City for a long time. How could I not pay attention to such a famous place?"

Morpheus laughed as he spoke. "I don't want to go because I'm not suited to it. I think it's best for me to study hard and improve myself in a normal school. Besides, I already have other plans for my future."

Her son is smart and mature. He has been more mature than other children since he was young and always shares the burden with her. This makes the woman very pleased, but also makes her feel sorry for him. She has always believed that his precocity is due to her incompetence.

However, she also respects the other party's choice, because precocious children always have their own plans.

"So, what are your plans? Can you tell mom about it?"

"It's a secret!"

Morpheus smiled and waved his hand.

Then he blinked again, walked over, took the woman's hand and shook it, as if he was acting coquettishly.

Morpheus knows exactly what his strengths are and how to expand them.

"Mom, can I go to the British Library tomorrow? I want to read!"

"Sure, I'll take you there."

"No need, I can go by myself, Mom, you still have your own things to do."

Seeing her son's refusal, the woman sighed secretly and finally nodded.

The next day, inside the library, in the area related to religion and history, a small figure was strolling around. The child was wearing a windbreaker that was obviously tailor-made.

Morpheus doesn't want to go to Academy City. Not only will it be full of troubles, it's also very dangerous. If he really develops his super powers, and can't break the artificial constraints, it will be equivalent to cutting off another path called magic.

After all, due to cognitive limitations, people with special abilities may experience reactions like burst blood vessels when using magic.

Morpheus doesn't think he is a talented person. He considers himself an ordinary person. So, as an ordinary person, how can he follow in the footsteps of those talented people? Naturally, he chooses to study magic!

He searched for traces of magic in the vast ocean of books, looking for various religious texts and studying various kinds of knowledge.

In a corner of the British Library, a young child sits on a chair, quietly looking at the book in front of him. Next to him, there is a pile of books. The names of these books are enough to make college students feel a tingling sensation on their scalps.

They are all kinds of documents about religion and mysticism!

If you chew it hard, you might be able to fall asleep in half an hour!

But the child was so fascinated by it that he even took a notebook and kept taking notes.

Morpheus believed this.

Magic, hidden in the world, mysterious, is everywhere!

Chapter 191: Pursuing the Mysterious Person

Morpheus silently studied the knowledge he found from various books, including the teachings of religious texts, various myths, and various historical knowledge. As a time traveler, he knew very well that this knowledge could be used in many cases.

Especially in the field of mysticism, sometimes a record in a historical document can play its own role and even trigger large-scale magic.

It's not an exaggeration, it's the truth.

The only thing is how to transform these into magic for use, which requires the magician to have a high enough level.

For Morpheus, who has just begun to explore the mysterious realm, it is still too early and he must continue to explore.

In the following time, Morpheus frantically studied everything related to mysticism. As soon as the get out of class was over, he would pack up his things and rush to the British Library, which made him a very special scenery in this place.

Many people will look at the child who likes to stay by the window, bask in the sun, and quietly flip through a book under the sunshine. It is so attractive, simply because the contrast is too great.

Other children always like to read fairy tales and picture books, but that child, who looks only ten years old, just likes to read all kinds of documents that would give even college students a headache, or history books that are so thick that they could kill people.

He always took notes seriously, carefully reading every word and unwilling to miss any details.

He would open several books at the same time, verify them with each other, and look for common points. If it was not indeed a child, they would even suspect that they were seeing an old scholar majoring in history or theology.

During this period, his performance in school was always excellent, not only in competitions, but also in sports. There was no such thing as the rumor that "nerds are always bullied".

On the contrary, Morpheus was quite popular in school. Whether it was the basketball team or the football team, he was always the most sought-after member. It was a pity that he was too busy going to the library to become a formal member.

Three years passed in this way. Morpheus, who was originally in elementary school, has become a qualified junior high school student. He has become taller and more handsome than before. Perhaps because he reads too many books, he also has the temperament of a scholar.

During these three years, Morpheus read almost everything related to mysticism in the British Library. He dared to say that the knowledge contained in his little head, whether it was history or religious theology, was no worse than that of college students or even graduate students in related majors!

Of course, he was still just a junior high school student, sitting in the classroom with a group of children of similar age, learning the knowledge that he had already mastered.

He has even learned Latin and Greek during these three years and is now studying Egyptian.

……

I came to the British Library again, flipping through the teaching materials related to Egyptian writing, and many people around me looked at me.

"Look, he's here again!" This is an old acquaintance.

"That kid? He looks very young. Is he reading ancient Egyptian language textbooks?" This is a newcomer.

People who have just seen this kind of scene will inevitably be surprised for a while, but for those old acquaintances, it is a moment of physical and mental pleasure. After all, looking at the surprised expressions of newcomers is also a kind of enjoyment.

So, they chuckled in a good-natured way and quietly explained the matter without disturbing others.

"That's our genius here, also known as the British Library's genius book boy. In almost three years, he's already read hundreds of books!"

"Hundreds of books?!"

"Yes, hundreds of books, and many of them are related to theology and history. They are highly professional and almost non-entertaining."

As he was speaking, a white-haired old man came over and whispered something to the young man. The young man raised his head and said something to the man as well. Then the old man left with satisfaction.

Seeing this scene, the newcomer was even more surprised.

"Isn't that Professor McGill from King's College London? He knows that kid very well?"

"Of course, the two of them have probably discussed this more than a dozen times combined. Professor McGill must have encountered some problem when he came here, so he came to discuss it with him. After all, as I said just now, the books this kid reads are all very professional. I even heard that someone suggested that he attend classes at King's College to avoid wasting his talent.

"Of course, there were also suggestions that he be admitted directly through special examinations, but he rejected them all, saying that he wanted to live a normal student life."

After hearing this, the newcomer's eyes widened slightly. This kid actually gave up such a good opportunity. King's College London is not an ordinary school, it is definitely a top university!

In the distance, a petite girl and an older-looking blond man were looking over here. Although they were pretending to be reading, their attention was always on Morpheus.

"Is that him? Mark?"

The blonde loli didn't move her mouth, but the sound echoed in the man's heart.

That is the power of magic.

"That's him. He's been studying theology, history, and religion for the past three years, including various myths and legends. I've been following him and found that he's trying to find mysterious clues within this knowledge."

Hearing this answer, the blonde lolita, Levinia Birdway, couldn't help but smile. "Isn't she just a simple enthusiast? Just like those girls who like fortune-telling."

The man known as Mark, whose full name is Mark Speth, had a blank expression on his face. "No, he has successfully deciphered several different kinds of magic. He now carries tarot cards with him and can already use some of them to perform magic spells."

"He can actually use magic. Did he learn it on his own?"

"Yes, no one taught him."

"Tarot? Don't you think it's suitable for us, Dawn?"

"Yes. Although he is searching from various texts, the path he is taking is closely related to the knowledge passed down by the Golden Dawn. If he can receive systematic training, his strength may be able to improve rapidly."

"He's been promoted very quickly. Is it possible for him to become the second deputy?"

Without any hesitation, Mark Speth nodded and said, "The possibility is extremely high. He is also extremely talented in linguistics. This kind of person is most suitable to become a magician."

Hearing this answer, Levinia Birdway smiled slightly and said, "Then let's get in touch."

……

On the way home, Morpheus yawned. Although he enjoyed reading and learning knowledge, he would feel tired when he relaxed, as if his body was hollowed out all of a sudden.

He felt in his pocket, took out a 5-pound note, went to a street food stall and ordered a bowl of fried noodles.

This kind of street fried noodles is very cheap and contains a lot of oil and water. It is a high-calorie food. For Morpheus, who has lost a lot of energy, it is a very attractive choice.

Morpheus happily accepted the large portion of fried noodles filled with meat and vegetables, which would take a normal child three meals. He immediately found a place to sit down and started to show off like crazy. The aroma of the food spread in his mouth, stimulating his stomach to feel even crazier.

After the first bite of food went down my throat, my stomach finally felt a little relieved, and then another bite, and another bite.

When Morpheus threw the empty lunch box into the trash can with satisfaction, he burped slightly and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The people around have disappeared, and this place has suddenly become a deserted area.

He sensed an unusual aura!

It’s the breath of events!

"Huh?! Could it be that some idle people were dispersing them?" His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and soon he saw a piece of paper stuck next to a trash can not far away, with a strange rune written on it.

When Morpheus saw the rune, his eyes lit up and he walked up immediately.

"Is this a rune?" he said.

"That's right, the rune to dispel idlers is quite useful." A somewhat arrogant voice was heard, and it was obvious that it was from a female imp. Morpheus turned and looked in the direction where the voice came from. It was a girl who looked younger than him.

If I have to say, she was about eight years old.

The girl had a smile on her face and a proud expression as she looked at Morpheus: "You seem to be looking for traces of magic? Is that right?"

Morpheus glanced at the girl, then at the man beside her. He had a rough guess in his mind, but still asked, "Who are you?"

Of course, he asked on purpose. In fact, he had already guessed that the woman should be the leader of Dawn of the Morning, Levinia Birdway, and the man was Levinia Birdway's deputy, Dawn of the Morning's second-in-command, Mark Speth.

"You are not qualified to know yet." Levinia Birdway said, gently raising her hand. A strange object appeared in front of her and turned into a star cup.

Then, water condensed from the air and turned into a water snake, rushing towards Morpheus!

Seeing this, Morpheus dodged quickly, and while dodging, he took out a card from his pocket. The card was a Tarot card, and it was a Judgment card!

As the card appeared, flames suddenly appeared in the air, and along with the flames came the sound of explosions!

"Oh!"

The flames exploded, scattering the water snakes!

The magic power he could use now was very low, and this explosion was already the limit, but it was enough, because he could see that Levinia Birdway had not used her full strength, and this water snake was just a facade.

Seeing her water snake being blown up, Leivinia smiled and did not continue to attack. Instead, she asked, "Have you heard of the Golden Dawn?"

"Golden Dawn? Are you talking about the father of modern magic? That mysterious magic society?" Morpheus frowned slightly, pretending to be a little angry after being attacked.

"Yes, that's it. With the disbanding of the Golden Dawn, a large number of magical societies that inherited its philosophy emerged, and we are one of them. You can call us the Dawn of Morning Light. Do you want to join us?"

Morpheus did not rush to agree. He knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity to truly step into the field of occultism and begin to acquire a lot of occult knowledge, but he was still cautious.

"What is your purpose?"

"Purpose?"

"You are an organization, and you always have your purpose."

"Smart, we do have our own purpose. Dawn's purpose has never changed since its founding. Our purpose is to control the world, to control everything!" Levinia said, looking at Morpheus and inviting him again, "How about it? Do you want to join us?"

Morpheus was silent. He had forgotten the purpose of Dawn of the Morning Light. Now when he heard it again, he remembered it. Dawn of the Morning Light was not called Dawn of the Morning Light in the past. The organization was very old. Its original purpose was to become the best among people, to become a leader, that is, to become a being above people.

Later, with the emergence of the Golden Dawn, they infiltrated the Golden Dawn, but were counterattacked by the Golden Dawn. The entire organization was transformed from its original organization into a magic organization, and was renamed Dawn of Morning Light.

But then, Morpheus smiled.

"I'll join you!"

Leivinia smiled and said, "Have you ever thought about your own magic name?"

"I've thought of it a long time ago. My magic name is Veritas000!" Morpheus smiled and said the magic name he had decided on when he first started pursuing the occult.

This magic name made both Levinia and Mark look surprised, and then Levinia smiled even more happily.

"Combining your name with the number, your ambition is truly enormous!"

Morpheus also smiled: "Doesn't this align with the purpose of your association?"

The pursuit of ultimate wisdom and the realm hidden above the Tree of Life is indeed a great ambition, and it is indeed in line with the goal of "mastering the core of the world."

Morpheus, at the age of 13, officially became a member of Dawn and began to learn his own magical knowledge!
