While browsing, Russell discovered that students who were good at making extraordinary objects were concentrated in a few specific majors and grades.
"Herbology", a second-year professional core course in the Department of Necromancy and Life, and "Alchemy", a second-year professional core course in the Department of Transfiguration and Transformation, both give students the ability to prepare medicines with supernatural powers.
The name of the third-year professional core course in the Department of Creation and Summoning is unknown, but it seems to be related to the ability to create things.
Why aren’t civil engineering students selling floating castles online? Don't they know how to build a house? Russell drew inferences in his mind.
"Cloud and mist spell, one-time creation and summoning spell, 1.5 gold coins."
"Shenxiao Five Thunder Talisman, a one-time talisman of elements and energy, unopened, 5 gold coins."
"90% of the legal storage notes are new. The auction will begin tomorrow, starting at 20 gold coins."
"The serial explosion scepter is for girls' own use. The price is negotiable. The estimated price is more than 100 college gold coins..."
A bit expensive...
Russell touched his pocket and realized that it was not their problem, but his own.
After Bai's kind sponsorship, Russell's savings reached 14 college gold coins, but he still had to prepare for next year's tuition and teaching material fees of 30 college gold coins, which made him really short of money.
Most of the students are backed by witchcraft families and secret organizations, and are themselves sponsors of the college. The methods of funding include providing teachers and money, providing extraordinary teaching aids, and assisting in the construction of magic circles and barriers, etc.
After enrolling, these students will receive college coins that match the level of funding provided by their organizations as bursaries. For example, Subway, which comes from a family of alchemists like Saijia, doesn't worry much about money.
However, students from ordinary families, such as Russell and Black Feather, cannot enjoy this scholarship and are undoubtedly the poorest class in the college.
If you really have no choice, you can only apply for a student loan, but this will incur interest. Russell, who doesn't like debt, doesn't plan to choose this path for the time being.
"Let's see how we sell the extraordinary spirits artificially bred in the academy. Can we contract one?" Russell tapped his phone and opened another page.
For the convenience of students, the college already keeps a small number of extraordinary spirits. Students who are good at psychics can directly purchase them with college coins, saving them the trouble of capturing the spirits themselves.
With Russell's current psychic skills, if he practices and spiritually cultivates for a while, he can barely contract a spirit body.
A few minutes later.
"An ordinary wraith costs 10 college gold coins!
"They could obviously rob directly, but they still had to send a resentful spirit as compensation."
After seeing the selling prices of these spiritual bodies, Russell gave up his plan to purchase the spiritual bodies directly from the school.
His mind briefly flashed through many methods of making money recorded in the International Supernatural Criminal Code, such as setting fires in the city center to create wraiths.
“Forget it, let’s find a chance to catch one by ourselves.
"This kind of adopted spirit body is not as obedient as the spirit body that I captured!"
Russell planned to wander around the canteen every day to see if he could catch a roast duck ghost that was resentful enough. If he was particularly lucky, he might be able to turn it into a resentful spirit.
"Look at the mission section again to see if there are any missions."
Russell continued to look at his phone.
He noticed that the first batch of tasks had now appeared in the task section that had been empty a few days ago.
Russell immediately noticed a mission announcement with no limit on the number of people who could take it and the large letters were completely marked in red.
"Prophecy and intelligence show that the 'Red of Chaos', a cult composed of fanatical demon cultists who worship the Demon King, is suspected of targeting the academy for an unknown plan.
"A small number of demon cultists may have sneaked into the college. The school will conduct a close investigation on this matter!
"Chaos Red is a cult-terrorist organization with a bad record. Students are asked to pay attention at all times to see if there are any abnormal classmates around them. If you can provide clues about the demon cultists.
“After verification, each clue will be rewarded with 1 to 10 college gold coins!
“Typical characteristics of a cultist are as follows:
"Article 1: I like to talk eloquently, appear to be very knowledgeable, and know a little bit of knowledge in all fields..."
Russell's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that there was a classmate who fit this characteristic very well.
He himself is!
Of course, I am definitely not a Satanist. Russell thought.
He is the son of prophecy who is destined to defeat the Demon King!
"Why do the cults that worship the Demon King sneak into the academy?
"I am destined to defeat the Demon King. Will the Demon Cult's plan involve me? If it does involve me, then I..."
Russell took a breath:
"Then it won't be easy for me to get clues and get the bounty?"
Russell tried hard to recall which classmates besides himself looked abnormal.
Combining the characteristics of the cult pictures described on the bulletin board, he compared each of his classmates, and under the temptation of money, he came to the conclusion——
Every student has problems!
For example, my classmate Nocturne, who is in the same major, is quite unusual and has a weird temperament!
After flipping through the task column for a while and finding that he couldn't find any other tasks that he could take, Russell turned off his phone.
He turned off the lights, started a lights-out night chat with Subway, and asked casually:
"By the way, Subway, what's the name of your old friend?"
Boom, boom, boom.
Boom, boom, boom.
Before Subway could respond, there was a rhythmic knock on the door outside the dormitory.
Russell got out of bed, put on his slippers and walked to the door, looking out through the peephole.
Outside the door, there was no one.
Someone knocks on the door but there is no sound?
Russell frowned slightly, remained vigilant, and tapped his eyebrows to activate his spiritual vision.
In the spiritual vision, a headless ghost was floating in the air, and blood was constantly bleeding from its neck. It looked particularly terrifying.
Russell's heart dropped.
Tsk, it turns out it was just haunted, what did you think it was...
Brainless ghosts are not uncommon.
Because the appearance of a ghost sometimes symbolizes the cause of one's death.
——For example, the ghost of a hairy crab that was steamed alive looks like a ripe red hairy crab and has a fragrant aroma.
The last time Russell saw the hairy crab ghost, he almost cried.
Russell also saw a lot of human ghosts who died in various strange ways during this period.
Some drowned in their own bathtubs or fish tanks, and some were beaten to death while robbing a gun store.
What impressed Russell most was a ghost who died unexpectedly because he forgot to bring an umbrella when he went out. It wouldn't have been a big deal if the guy hadn't been skydiving at the time.
A beheaded headless ghost like the one in front of you doesn't rank at all in terms of weirdness.
Russell asked outside the door:
"What's the matter? Mr. Ghost—or Madam. Your gender confuses me."
The voice of a headless ghost came back from outside the door. It sounded like a woman:
"Miss Nocturne asked you to come downstairs. She wants to see you."
