Fitch thought he was clever as he tiptoed up to Han Shuo's door like a thief. He glanced around covertly and then, in a very low voice, summoned a wraith and told it to enter Han Shuo's room through the crack under the door.
Han Shuo's original demons had been refined from wraith in the first place, so ghosts could also be another set of eyes for the summoners. However, as creatures summoned by necromancers, they carried a faint hint of death about them and had a greyish-white outline. Anyone with a slightly higher level of alertness could easily detect traces of them.
Han Shuo's original demons had undergone special magical yuan refinement, so they didn't have any magical waves emanating from them. Their shape was also indistinct. As long as they didn't come into contact with a magical boundary, it would be very difficult to detect them. In addition to that, the original demons were one of the demon generals and had a mental link with the mage, they could be used at great distances, and they had unusual attacking abilities. Therefore, no matter how you looked at it, an Original Demon was much more practical than a Wraith.
After Fitch's wraith entered Han Shuo's room, it circled inside and then stopped in front of Han Shuo's window. It seemed to be silently watching Han Shuo's movements.
Breathing evenly, Han Shuo lay on his side and appeared to be in a deep sleep. He seemed to be completely unaware of what was happening around him. Fitch used the Wraith to probe around from the outside before placing his hand on the door handle and applying a small amount of force. Han Shuo's room door creaked open with a small squeak.
A bag of powder suddenly appeared in his hand, Fitch opened the paper wrapping and blew on it outside the door. The powder dispersed into the air, giving off a faint scent.
Soul Temptation Powder!
Han Shuo now had some understanding of poison powder and had already recognised the scent when it had just dispersed. He laughed coldly inside and didn't hold his breath. He continued to breathe in and out naturally. With the strength his body had acquired after entering the third demonic realm, low-level powders that would cause him to sink into a drugged state had absolutely no effect on him.
With a sinister and venomous smile on his face, Fitch now had a slightly gleeful expression on his face as he walked lightly towards Han Shuo, glaring at him fiercely. What he was thinking was anyone's guess.
Using the original demons' line of sight, Han Shuo could still see Fitch's expression in full even with his eyes closed. Although his body was in a sleeping position, Han Shuo had long since prepared himself. He was ready to strike as soon as things went south. Han Shuo was ready to kill as soon as Fitch laid a hand on him.
However, Fitch did not appear to be as bold as Han Shuo thought. He stared at Han Shuo and then muttered to himself, "You lowly slave, you're completely unworthy of Master Fanny. I should have kicked you out of Necromancy Major a long time ago, but you haven't been around for long. But we'll see where you run to this time. After tomorrow, everyone will be sure that you're a pervert. Even if Master Fanny helps you, the school authorities will expel you from Necromancy Major. I've spent a lot of time and effort trying to make a move against you, heh heh!"
Fitch muttered as he fished a large package out of his being. He bent down and shoved the package under Han Shuo's bed, then slowly backed out of Han Shuo's room with a proud air, cackling in a low tone as he did so. He then carefully closed the door to Han Shuo's room and walked lightly into his own room with a satisfied expression on his face.
Han Shuo immediately sat up in his bed after Fitch left and bent down to look around. He discovered that Fitch had hung this package from the wooden slats under the bed. He would have had a hard time spotting it if he hadn't looked carefully.
When Han Shuo took the package down and opened it, he was stunned by what he saw.
A collection of flimsy, thin women's lingerie greeted his eyes. These colourful garments were lace trimmed and all had very small amounts of fabric on them. They were either cute or sexy. Some had just been washed, and two looked as if they had just been taken off and hadn't had time to be washed. There were still some traces of the female body on them.
Han Shuo stared at the female lingerie in the bundle and looked at them all twice, sighing that Fitch really did have amazing methods of revenge. He was beginning to develop a healthy appreciation for Fitch. But it wasn't Fitch's schemes that he admired, it was his methods. Who'd have thought that he could quietly and unknowingly obtain so many items of women's lingerie? He wondered if there were any in this pile that belonged to Master Fanny!
Shaking his head with involuntary laughter, Han Shuo knew that if the girls at the school realised that their lingerie had gone missing, they would cause a huge uproar tomorrow. Fitch would surely have other tricks up his sleeve. Perhaps tomorrow there would be a room-by-room search of all the male students. If that bundle was discovered under his bed, Han Shuo would surely earn the title of 'Great Perverted Demon'. He would not have to wait for the school to expel him, as he would not be able to face anyone and would never be seen in the academy again.
"I won't do anything to you if you don't do anything to me. Fitch, ah Fitch. You can't blame me for being mean this time." Han Shuo picked up the package and giggled softly as he got out of bed and walked towards Fitch's room with the original demon leading the way.
He used almost exactly the same methods of using the original demon's vision to copy Fitch's methods. He travelled silently to Fitch's room, slipped the bundle under Fitch's bed and then left, none the wiser.
Once this matter had been satisfactorily concluded, Han Shuo returned to his room and didn't go back to sleep, but used the other original demon to observe Duke's movements.
Duke had flown directly to a classroom on the fourth floor of the building after arriving at the dark large building. There was not a soul in the classroom building at night. Duke did not move after entering this room, becoming one with the night.
Han Shuo looked at Duke in the darkness, through the eyes of the original demon parked in the shadow of a large tree. Except that he hadn't moved after his arrival and hadn't moved since. This left Han Shuo quite confused. He wasn't sure what Duke was doing in the classroom building in the middle of the night.
After a while, just as Han Shuo was starting to feel a little impatient, a thick cloud of black light suddenly appeared in the distance and slowly moved towards the classroom building.
It would have been difficult to detect the cloud's existence if he hadn't been paying attention in the darkness. Han Shuo gave himself a mental shake and immediately increased his attention. He carefully watched the movements within this ball of light. The dark light was concentrated like a dense cloud, making it difficult for Han Shuo to see what was going on inside.
The motionless Duke only noticed this cloud of light after it had entered the dark large classroom building and suddenly coughed lightly.
The cloud of black light stopped briefly when it heard Duke's slight cough, then quickly travelled up the stairs and made its way to the room where Duke was.
Duke and the dark cloud of light finally met the room between them. Duke glanced at the Cloud of Dark Light that had stopped in front of the door, showed a trace of a smile, and said softly, "The Empire's 'Black Underworld' organisation is everywhere. There are even people from the 'Black Underworld' within this organisation. It's very nice to make your acquaintance. I think you can reveal your true appearance now?"
"I've been in this academy for many years, and I spent a lot of the organisation's resources just to get into this place from the beginning. My identity must not be revealed at any cost. There are many archmages like you in the Babylon Academy, and the head of the school is even a great magus. It would be no small matter if we alarmed them.
A familiar voice travelled out of the cloud of black light. Then it was peeled back like layers of clothing, revealing the figure of the Dark Major's old witch, Camilla.
It was her! Han Shuo was startled as he watched everything inside with more caution, deathly afraid of missing any of their conversation.
There was a "Dark Mantle" organisation within the Lancelot Empire, so there would surely be a similar organisation within the Kasi Empire. It seemed that Camilla was from the Kasi Empire and was a member of the Kasi Empire's "Black Underworld". This was quite interesting.
"So it's you. Heh heh. I even saw you today... who'd have thought you were one of us? The Empire's 'Black Underworld' is truly resourceful. It looks like my mission this time will be much easier than I expected. Duke was also quite surprised when Camilla revealed herself.
"It is very dangerous for the two of us to meet here. The 'Dark Mantle' organisation of the Lancelot Empire isn't easy to deal with either. I've had a few run-ins with them here. They're like flies buzzing around you. If my identity is revealed, not only will I die a horrible death immediately, but I won't be able to live up to the Empire's cultivation of me. Cut the crap. What business did you have to contact me?" Camilla impatiently hurried Duke to get to the point.
Nodding, the Duke said gravely, "I have many responsibilities on this journey to the Lancelot Empire. If I couldn't solve them myself, I wouldn't dare call upon your 'Black Underworld' agents. I've asked Master Fanny of the Necromancy Major today, and I've heard that in addition to each major's library, there's also a secret library? We need to look up some materials and would like to ask you where the library is and how we can get in?"
"There is indeed a secret library with many rare books. Not only have I heard of this library, but I've also been privileged enough to enter it. However, there's a magical boundary that the headmaster has personally set. No one can go in without the Headmaster's permission".
"I wanted to research the curses of the Dark Major last time, so I got in with the Headmaster's permission. If you try to break into the secret library, I'm sure you'll be discovered by the Headmaster. You'd better come up with another plan!" Camilla warned Duke earnestly, her face full of resignation.
Duke thought for a while with a dark face after hearing Camilla's words and said to her, "If that's the case, then I'll have to force my way in and think of a way in. The Empire wants to know everything about the Eye of Darkness. Go in and see if there's anything about it. Before I made this journey, the higher-ups in the Black Underworld said that I could use you at critical moments. I hope you understand.
"If the Empire wanted to investigate this matter, they could have given me orders directly through the 'Black Underworld'. Why would they bother you with a personal journey?" Camilla looked at Duke in confusion and didn't immediately agree, but opened her mouth to ask Duke.
"You don't need to know that much about it. The Empire has its own arrangements for sending us. I just need you to go to the secret library and help me understand everything there is to know about the 'Eye of Darkness'". Duke's forehead creased as he said a little unhappily.
"What item is that? It sounds like something from our Dark Major. Tell me what it looks like and its basic information."
"It's not something from your Dark Major. It was created by the necromancers at a time when the necromancers were strong. It holds the secrets to opening the Cemetery of death. It's said that the Cemetery of death is holy ground for necromancers. Many years ago, when necromancers roamed the lands, the Cemetery of death was a place of evil that no one on the continent dared to speak of. Tomes of terrible necromantic secrets may be kept within. The Empire needs the secrets inside, so you must understand the secrets of the 'Eye of Darkness' to the best of your ability!"
Camilla's face changed slightly as she thought for a moment and then said, "Since that's the case, I'll figure out a way to get inside. However, the Headmaster is always present when we go in, so I can only do my best."
"All right, let me know as soon as you get inside, whether you make any discoveries or not. I'll be staying with the Wind Major for the time being, to exchange some knowledge about wind magic. You can use other excuses to come to me openly." The Duke nodded and said to Camilla.
The two of them had come to an agreement and didn't discuss it any further. After dispersing, the two of them left the classroom building one by one.
After Han Shuo had retrieved his original demons, he went over their conversation in his mind and pondered a bit with a furrowed brow before he slowly fell asleep.
