Celia looked up. "Is it all done?"
"Okay, go to class now. I'll send the puppet back to your dorm."
"Ok."
Except for puppetry class, other classes do not require bringing puppets. Bringing puppets is like bringing a flying broom, which is inconvenient to set up.
So Celia walked to class, while Ross controlled the puppet to fly back to the dormitory on a flying broom.
The classroom where the afternoon class was held wasn't far from the dormitory, and it was within Celia's mental control range.
Celia sensed that Ross had indeed returned to his dorm and hadn't done anything else.
"What exactly happened just now?"
The girl scratched her head.
Chapter 26 The White Whale of the Sea?
Ross manipulated the puppet back to Celia's dormitory, used her student card to open the door, went into the kitchen, and placed the dirt he had brought on a piece of scrap metal.
He searched around for a while but couldn't find what he was looking for.
"There's only waste material left over from making puppets here. Oh well, I'll just make one now."
Ross shook his head, manipulated the puppet to pick up a pile of scrap, and began to make use of it.
After a long while, a magical device resembling a trophy appeared on the kitchen counter.
He poured the soil into the trophy, imbuing it with magic.
This trophy is engraved with complex magical runes. Its purpose is to reverse engineer items related to the Abyss. It was a reward Ross received after defeating the Abyss, and its function is to be used for subsequent reverse engineering of things related to the Abyss.
Now, he is using the surveying magic array to reverse-engineer the abyssal fluctuations contained in this soil, to determine which abyssal monster it belongs to.
“Aside from large-scale invasions, every species has a corresponding survey magic circle and summoning ritual for other summoning methods. I’d like to see what kind of monster this Deep Sea Aid Society plans to summon.”
With the continuous input of magic, the entire trophy emitted a faint glow.
Meanwhile, Celia, who was listening to the lecture, visibly paled.
"Mr. Ross, what are you doing? Why is my magic draining so quickly?"
She couldn't help but ask Ross a question.
The puppet is connected to its controller. Most puppets do not absorb magic power themselves, but rely on the arcane furnace to absorb the controller's magic power and store it for use in battle.
The puppet doesn't consume much magic power in daily use. If the Arcane Furnace is well-performing, it can even charge up for five minutes and allow the puppet to operate for two hours.
Celia's Arcane Furnace is the most basic type, requiring constant replenishment of magic power, and it can only store a limited amount of magic power.
When the stored magic power is used up, the puppet will absorb the magic power of its controller to move and cast spells.
Generally speaking, it is the sorcerer who decides how much magic power to input into the puppet.
A sorcerer can completely interrupt the output of magic.
But with Ross, Celia couldn't stop it at all; it was like a hole had been opened, and magic was flowing out uncontrollably.
"It's a minor issue, nothing serious," Ross replied calmly.
Celia was pale and could only endure the continuous outpouring of magic, like facing a dam bursting, powerless to stop it.
Fortunately, Ross didn't completely drain her magic; he left her a little bit so she wouldn't faint.
But he wasn't in good shape.
Fortunately, by the time Ross stopped, the class had already ended.
After enduring the ordeal until her mentor left, Celia immediately collapsed onto the table, panting heavily.
It's over.
"Celia, are you alright?"
Aina's voice came from beside her, and Celia managed a weak smile.
"I'm fine, just a little tired."
"Are you sick? Let me carry you to the hospital!" came an untimely voice from the side.
When Celia looked up, she saw Mil, who was wrapped in bandages, limping toward her.
He looked comical at that moment, with one hand wrapped in bandages and the other hand using his magic wand as a crutch, limping along.
His face was bruised and swollen, he had been beaten badly, yet he still pretended to be concerned.
Celia remained silent.
“Mill Deville, thank you for your kindness, but I think you should go to the hospital.”
"Don't worry, I'm perfectly healthy. I endured the pain all over my body so I could go back to school and see you. The moment I saw you, all the pain turned into sweetness... Ahhh!"
As he was preparing to give a passionate speech, a classmate passing by accidentally touched his outstretched hand, which immediately aggravated his wound, interrupting him and causing him to scream in pain.
Upon seeing this, the classmate quickly helped Mir up, saying, "Mir, are you alright? I'm sorry."
As a result, this act of supporting him immediately aggravated Mir's wounds, causing him even more pain.
"Ah! Ouch! Don't touch me!"
Mir's expression twisted, and it took him a while to recover. When he was about to complain to Celia about his pain, he found that the seat was empty.
Celia had already left.
Mir slammed his staff down.
"Damn it, even after all this, I'm not tempted at all. No, I need to go and ask Norsen for advice again."
……
In the dormitory.
As the magic power ceased to flow, the light emanating from the trophy slowly faded, and the contaminated soil inside the trophy disappeared, leaving only a small, dark object.
Ross picked up the little thing and crushed it, and a faint black light entered the puppet's body.
A moment later, the black light emanated from the puppet's body, and Ross knew everything.
"It turns out to be a white whale, a species of sea creature that lives in the Abyss Sea."
Ross recalled some information about this beluga whale.
This is a giant creature that lives in the Abyss Sea and has the ability to devour spiritual power. More than a thousand years ago, before the invasion of the Abyss, it appeared as the final boss in an important event chain.
This beluga whale can be challenged directly, or its strength can be weakened through missions, up to the level of BabyBus.
"I remember the fins of beluga whales were delicious..."
He had never eaten it, but he remembered hearing that beluga whale fins were delicious and highly nutritious.
If possible, feeding Celia a white whale would definitely accelerate her growth.
After a moment's thought, Ross had already made up his mind.
In the evening, after finishing her dinner, Celia returned and saw the trophy in the kitchen. Curious, she asked, "Is this the magical artifact that drained my magic today?"
"Hmm, a magical device that can rewind the time of a specific item, but due to material limitations, it's a one-time use item and is now useless."
Ross casually tossed it into the trash can.
The seemingly sturdy trophy shattered into powder the moment it fell in.
Celia, who had originally intended to stop Ross from throwing things, immediately fell silent.
"May I ask what this magical device is used for?"
Celia asked cautiously.
She was a little scared, afraid that Ross would question her for being nosy, but she really wanted to know what Ross had done, even if he might be lying to her.
That way, at least we can know whether he did anything wrong.
But... even if the evil god does bad things, what can you do, Celia?
The girl thought.
"Used to trace what abyssal monsters the Deep Sea Aid Society planned to summon."
What are they trying to summon?
“The White Whale.” Ross didn’t hide anything and said casually, “A huge creature that exists in the Abyss Sea. When it grows up, it’s about the size of your dormitory building. Its strength ranges from the fourth to the sixth level. Hmm, its shark fin is quite delicious.”
"What? The Deep Sea Aid Society is planning to summon such a terrifying monster at our school?" Celia exclaimed in shock.
"No, your school isn't suitable for summoning."
As Ross spoke, he suddenly looked at Celia and asked, "Would you like to eat the shark fin of the beluga whale?"
Celia pointed to herself.
"I?"
Chapter 27 Signs of Summoning
"The beluga whale... Hmm, found it!"
Inside the library of the Holy Magic Academy, Celia quickly flipped through a book called "The Complete Book of Monsters" and found what she was looking for.
"The White Whale of the Sea, pure white all over, lives in the endless sea. It is an extremely powerful monster that likes to devour creatures with strong spiritual power... It was once summoned by the Deep Sea Aid Association, causing a medium-sized town to be wiped out. It took two cardinals to deal with it that time... Is it that terrifying?"
Celia didn't have much of a concept of what Ross meant by fourth-order and sixth-order; she knew they were very strong, but she didn't know exactly how strong they were.
She knew that most of the school's instructors were fourth-tier mages, the professors were fifth-tier mages, and the principal was said to have sixth-tier strength, but as a first-tier mage who had only recently entered the field, she had no way of distinguishing the strengths of these teachers.
She had never seen a sorcerer of this level of skill make a move before.
"If it can destroy a medium-sized town, it falls into the fourth to fifth tier. If it is destroyed in a single attack, it falls into the sixth tier."
Ross was also looking at later records of the beluga whale.
Based on the documented cases, he made a preliminary assessment of the beluga whale.
"What rank is your cardinal?" Ross asked.
Celia shook her head and said cautiously, "I don't know. I only know that the Cardinal is the strongest sorcerer in the Holy Court."
This is something you can't just reveal casually!
Celia was somewhat relieved that she didn't know the cardinal's rank, otherwise she wouldn't know whether to reveal it or not.
"Let's just assume they're all sixth-tier."
Rose didn't dwell on the issue any further.
"The White Whale of the Sea may be very powerful to you, but that's a problem to face head-on. If you can calm down and study the White Whale of the Sea, you will find many ways to weaken its power, even to the point that a magic apprentice like you can kill it at will."
So far, Ross's words haven't seemed to lie, but when it comes to terrifying monsters capable of easily destroying medium-sized towns... no matter how you look at it, it doesn't seem very reliable.
still have a question.
Celia raised her hand: "Your Majesty, you said that the fin of the white whale is highly nutritious, and that eating a little can save several months of meditation time. Is that true?"
"of course it's true."
"But those are monsters from the abyss, can we really eat them?"
Celia thought that these monsters might be a great tonic for evil gods and their followers, but she was a member of the Holy Court, and eating monsters... might turn her into an evil being like a heretic.
The Holy Court has never consumed any monsters with abyssal attributes. Not only do they not eat them, they also portray them as extremely evil, believing that even a trace of them will corrupt one's magic and be impossible to remove for life.
"Under normal circumstances, of course, it is not edible because of the pollution from the abyss. However, no matter how poisonous something is, as long as it is proven to be edible, there is always a way to eat it. Abyss pollution can be easily overcome."
Won't it still get contaminated?!
Celia's mind was filled with rejection.
"I'd rather not have the shark fin soup; I can't afford it. If the Deep Sea Assistance Association really wants to summon the beluga whales, I want to pass this message on to the school."
"It's up to you, but how are you going to tell the school that you know about the Deep Sea Assistance Society's call for beluga whales?"
Celia got stuck.
Oh right, I don't seem to have any evidence at all; it's all just the evil god's side of the story.
