Jiang Xilin followed the old gentleman and went up the escalator to a study-like room on the second floor.

The curtains were half-closed, and there were crystal clear quartz rods emitting soft and bright white light, making the room not appear dim at all.

In the burning fireplace, the red-hot anthracite gave off a languid warmth.

The old gentleman led Jiang Xilin to a dark brown leather sofa surrounded by many bookshelves and said:

"Please sit down first and wait for a moment while I go get the latest task list. You can browse the books here as you like."

When Jiang Xilin heard this, his eyes suddenly shone.

After all, I've got this job, and I'm still sitting there. Of course, I should read a book first.

The old gentleman saw his desire for this knowledge, but just smiled.

Jiang Xilin walked directly to the bookshelf closest to him, picked up a bundle of cloth scrolls, opened it, and started reading eagerly without caring about the content on it.

…

Time ticks, ticks, ticks...

Soon, the old gentleman came out with a cloth scroll.

Seeing Jiang Xilin in front of the bookshelf still maintaining the same reading posture as when he left just now, he coughed lightly.

Jiangxi Lin Xingshen turned around.

"This is a list of the society's most recent research tasks."

The old gentleman said, handed the cloth scroll with the mission recorded in his hand to Jiang Xilin, and continued,

"These tasks are all the problems currently encountered by the society. You can take a look at them first. After selecting the tasks, come to me to register. I'm downstairs. By the way, sir, you can call me Lester, David Leigh.

ster.”

"Okay, you can call me Black Crow."

Jiang Xilin took the cloth scroll and nodded.

The old gentleman who called himself David Lester said nothing more, turned around and left the study, leaving Jiang Xilin alone in the room.

Jiang Xilin walked to the leather sofa, sat down and crossed his legs, rocking contentedly while reading the task list.

…

"Can the eyes of a black cat be replaced by the eyes of an owl in a psychic vision spell? What will be the effect after replacement?"

"Get a fully transformed arm."

"Verify the new arcane spell 'Black Mist', and analyze the functions and properties of each arcane material in the spell. The following are the materials required for the arcane spell: crow's feathers, black moss, high sulfur coal, malon

Riding eggs..."

"Design an arcane magic array that can increase the frequency of mental power."

"Collect 100 eyes of yellow-brown rats suffering from pinkeye disease."

"Solving the problem of retention of mental power after it is separated from the living body."

…

Jiang Xilin browsed the entire task list in detail from beginning to end, and then discovered a very serious problem.

Almost all of the tasks on this list are related to arcane magic.

There are only two tasks related to arcane magic circle science.

One is to design a magic array-style task to increase the frequency of mental power.

The other is to solve the problem of retention of mental power after it is separated from the living body.

Yes, the problem of mental power retention is a matter of arcane magic circle science, because there is an arcane magic circle called "Kr magic circle" that can retain the mental power restraint after leaving the living body, but the effect is also very limited.

The full name of the Kr Array is Odek Fayous Kr Home. It was created by the master of arcane arrays in the Kingdom of Talid, Odek Fayous Kr Home (referred to as

Odek Holm) designed an auxiliary research circle when studying the relationship between soul, mental power, and living body. It is not well-known in the arcane circle academic circle.

The reason why Jiangxi Lin knew this was because of the dozen or so pages of paper he obtained by chance.

The dozen or so pages introduced an arcane magic circle that could simulate mental power, including a brief introduction to the Kr magic circle and a schematic diagram of the magic circle.

The more he learned about arcane magic circles, the more he discovered how all-encompassing and profound the knowledge on those dozen pages was.

"Tsk, it's a pity that there are only these ten pages. If I have a chance in the future, I will have to find the complete version of this book and read it."

…

Jiang Xilin put away the task list, put it aside, and then began to search among the bookshelves for books on arcane magic circles.

The School of Light Arcana is a school that focuses on the study of arcane magic formulas, so there are not many books on arcane magic formations in its collection.

Jiang Xilin rummaged through one-third of the bookshelves in the entire study before he found a cloth-bound book called "Principles of Arcane Magic Arrays", and the content in it was not complete. There were only Chapters 1 and 2.

All subsequent chapters are missing.

But it was better than nothing. Jiangxi Lin was not picky about food. After taking the book, he sat on the leather sofa and read it quietly.

Sometimes he frowned in thought, sometimes nodded suddenly, sometimes deduce silently in his mind, sometimes stood up and stretched himself out, walked to the window to look at the street view outside the window, and relaxed his eyes.

Time passed so quietly.

Until the light outside the window gradually dimmed, and the phlogiston lamps on both sides of the street gradually lit up.

The old gentleman Lester walked into the study room, looked at Jiang Xilin who was still sitting on the sofa and quietly reading a book, and said:

"Mr. Black Crow, it's getting late."

Jiang Xilin raised his head and turned towards the window, with no specific expression on his masked face.

"Can I borrow this book?"

"Sorry, Mr. Black Crow, the books here are not allowed to be borrowed. You can come back tomorrow morning."

The old gentleman's tone was quite polite, and Jiang Xilin didn't try to force him.

Putting the book back to its original place, he followed the old gentleman downstairs, registered the two tasks related to arcane magic circle science that he had selected early in the morning, and then left the junior member activity center.

The dimly lit streets were filled with light mist, and passers-by came and went in a hurry, all looking tired.

Jiangxi Lin tightened his clothes, stood under the awning at the entrance of No. 31, 5th Street, Kodakrang District, and took off his mask generously, revealing his true face.

Now that he has joined the Light Arcane School, you can imagine that they will definitely investigate his identity.

Instead of being secretive and trying to compete with them, it is better to proactively reveal some information to them openly and win their trust.

Moreover, another advantage of doing this is that it can prevent Reva Kanter and others from suddenly feeling unable to control themselves one day and having the "evil" idea of ​​getting rid of themselves and finding someone else to replace them.

"Now that I have shown my face in front of the Light Arcana School, unless you close the net now, otherwise, if you want to get rid of me, you have to consider whether it will alert the enemy."

Jiang Xilin is quite satisfied with his hand.

After putting away the mask, Jiang Xilin drove to the roadside, waited for a while, hailed a four-wheel carriage, and drove to his residence in Blackstone District.

The affairs of the Light Arcane School have been settled, and now all that remains is how to deal with and appease the Night Knights of the Kingdom headed by Reva Kanter and Durant.

It is estimated that a painful meal is unavoidable.
Chapter completed!
