After listening to Taifu's explanation, and then gradually understanding the daily operations of their club, it was already evening when he walked out the door.
"It's not something that can be fully understood in a day or two about the Ajieka network. Just get familiar with it slowly." Colt comforted Tilan after walking out of the 'Black Shirt Ramblers' club, fearing that Tilan would find it too troublesome and stop.
"Not really, it's just something new and unexpected. Logically speaking, this should be a very important industry, but I rarely hear about it in life." The girl was slightly puzzled.
"Because it's not accessible to ordinary people, it requires at least Sequence 3. In order to be able to barely use the device and truly travel freely and experience various things on the network, it is estimated to require Sequence 4. This will eliminate 95% of people." Cole Special explanation.
"In addition, although the Aijieka Network is extremely powerful in terms of learning and entertainment, it cannot replace real-life practice and exercise. If used too much, it can even lead to neglect of everything in reality and lead to mental abnormalities. Therefore, the Aijieka Network does not Extensive promotion.”
"I see."
Because it was already evening, they parted after a few words. When Tilan and Anelli came to the student union the next day, it was another girl who received her.
"Hi, hello, Tilan, my name is Glena." The girl was about 18 years old. She was wearing a white tight-fitting top and a black coat from the student union. She was holding a record board in her hand and a work ID card hanging on her chest. , but it seems that he is not from the student union, but from a certain company.
"Ah, this, I'm sorry, I forgot to take it off." Seeing Tilan looking at her chest, she put away the work ID with the triangle emblem and put it in the drawer of the student union office.
"I usually work part-time at Marselan Consulting, so I'm used to waiting for my work badge in the morning." She explained simply.
"Today I am taking Tilan to visit the inner-clubs of the academy. It was Colt who took you around yesterday."
"Yes." The girl nodded slightly, feeling that Miss Glena was a little afraid of her, and there was a bit of hidden nervousness in her voice.
Then the other party continued to introduce himself, "I belong to the Accounting Department of the Student Union, which is responsible for financial-related matters. However, I occasionally contact some societies to communicate about reimbursement and procurement."
"Let's set off first and talk as we walk." She took Tilan and Anneli out and locked the office.
The three of them stood in the elevator, waiting quietly for the descent.
"Please don't take offense to what happened just now, Tilan. I usually complete the student union affairs very well, but I just go to the office to help in my free time." She seemed to be still uneasy about what happened just now.
"It's nothing. Is it because of lack of money?" Tilan was curious. She was not rich before and had no prejudice against working part-time.
"Uh, yes, although most of the students at Edes Academy are rich or noble, there are some who are not." Her voice was slightly softer.
“My tuition fees are waived, but whether it’s studying or preparing to go to university in the future, I need sufficient funds.”
"The tuition fees for universities in the Federation are very expensive, at least 300,000 federal dollars per year, and as many as 500,000-600,000." Tilan also expressed her feelings. She had also worried about the tuition fees of universities. Fortunately, it should not be a problem now. Big.
"Yes, so even during high school, you have to prepare something, otherwise even the tuition loan may not be enough." Galina looked at the transparent glass on the inside of the elevator, opened her mouth slightly, and sighed.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Tilan visited all large societies yesterday. Today we are visiting small and medium-sized societies. Because there are not many people and the structure is simple, it will be much faster."
When the elevator landed on the first floor, she walked out first, guiding the girl.
"Come with me."
After that, the three of them walked through the corridor and walked to a classical-style building. It looked a bit like a castle from the outside, but the rooms inside were extremely spacious and equipped with all modern facilities.
Here, the three of them could see many students coming in and out. They were in small groups, talking about recent interesting things, and occasionally bursts of laughter could be heard.
"Because when this castle was built, it was prepared for student clubs, so the activity rooms of many clubs were here. However, later on, the number of students in the academy expanded, and some new clubs were arranged in other places." Galina walked in ahead.
The three of them stepped on the escalator and arrived at the second floor. Many club rooms here were open, and students could be seen inside. Some were playing musical instruments, and some were in studios full of paint and waste paper. There were the sounds of tap dancing footsteps and the sounds of card games. Occasionally, there were a few quiet rooms where students were reading or discussing recent experiences.
"This is the first place." Galina stopped in front of the door of a club activity room. The sign on it was a skull biting a blue rose, with letters and text underneath, which was quite artistic.
"Death Rose Society, a gathering place for withering sequence and art lovers." After finishing speaking, Galina knocked on the door and walked in.
The interior decoration style of the event is very death gothic. There are skulls in many places. The floor is covered with a red carpet. Twelve black stone seats surround the central round table. The black marble round table is engraved with complex inscriptions. The magic circle contains various symbols and characters, and traces of the stars and the moon are vaguely visible.
These twelve chairs have different styles. Some of them have backs carved with monsters and evil spirits surrounding them, some are decorated with black and blue vines and roses, and some have intersecting swords and axes, with blood-red patterns painted underneath. Network, etc.
When Galina led the two of them into the room, there were seven figures in black robes sitting on the seats, and the other five seats were empty.
"Good morning, everyone." Galina waved her hand, while the seven people in the room remained silent, seeming a little angry at her sudden entrance.
"Good morning, Galina, what are you doing here today? We are in a meeting." A man in black robe lifted his hood, revealing short gray hair.
"Selinch, morning, I'm sorry to disturb your meeting, but if I wait, I might not be able to come in until the afternoon, so I'm sorry to disturb you." Galina stepped forward.
"This is the president of the 'Death Rose Society', Sherinch. He is a well-known craftsman in the academy. He likes bone-related art very much. The skeleton model he made by himself is welcomed by many doctors on campus."
"She Linqi, this is Tilan, a new member of our student union. She will be responsible for many things in the future. I will bring her here this year to familiarize herself with the situation."
"Hello, Miss Tilan." The gray-haired young man with a slightly pale face saluted the girl, neither arrogant nor impetuous, with a cool and calm expression.
"Hello, President Sherinch."
After the two got to know each other briefly, Galina took Tilan close to the round table in the activity room and touched it with her hands. The touch was particularly cold. The material of the tabletop was somewhat similar to black jade, giving it a translucent beauty.
"Is it okay?" Galina looked up.
"Very good. Thanks to Galina for helping us purchase this ceremonial round table last year. Because of it, it is much more convenient for members of our club to practice secret arts." Sherinch nodded.
"Just be satisfied if you like it. I also occasionally learned that a piece of Qinmo Black Shining Stone was produced in that mine. I heard that you have been looking for this kind of thing, so I contacted the other party."
A few people sat down, and the girl gradually learned about some of the past events of Galina and this club.
Many members of the Death Rose Society are fans of necromancy. Although the current withering sequence is derived from the necromancy sequence, a lot of things from the past have been deleted. Those who truly practice the secret art of necromancy today It's a minority.
Because the hobby is niche and unpopular, the members of the 'Death Rose Society' have always been very few, and now there are only 7 people. However, their abilities are very good, and they are all above Sequence 5. You must know that they can advance to Sequence 5 in high school. They are only one in ten thousand people in the federation. Even in Edes Academy, not all students can enter Sequence 5 before graduation.
Slowly chatting about the activities in the club, Tilan also curiously asked many questions, some of which were even very expert questions, involving the past events of the Necromantic Sequence and the iteration of some secret techniques.
"I didn't expect Miss Tilan to know so much about the past of the Undead Sequence." Sherinch became very interested from the initial indifference, and the other six people who had been silent gradually began to speak.
"During the era of the Mercury Dynasty, years of war greatly promoted and catalyzed the development of the Necronomicon Sequence. All kinds of geniuses emerged at that time. If I could have been born in that era, I would have become world-famous. The master of the dead."
"Master of the Necromancer? The second era is indeed good, but the third era is not so wonderful." The girl shook her head slightly. She was quite familiar with that period of history.
"Hahaha, when there was no other way to be liquidated, the magic sequence rose at that time, just like the revival of the spirit sequence in today's era."
"However, our undead sequence is pretty good. At least it has been transformed into the withering sequence and continues, while the magic sequence has been completely replaced by the spirit child sequence."
"In the past, I was proficient in alchemy, potion preparation, and the magic sequence of engraving magic circles. Now, all aspects have been replaced by the spirit son sequence." He thought of some happy and fortunate things.
Afterwards, Galina and Anneli were almost completely left alone, listening to Tilan and the men in black robes in the club gradually discuss in depth the various details of the necromancy secrets, including the 'Moorta Curse' and 'Burial of the Moon'. Secret ritual, "Three Soul Awakening Formula" and so on, just hearing the name is confusing.
In this way, it was not until noon that he was interrupted by Galina. Sherinch was still a little reluctant to give up, but it was indeed time to eat.
"Let me give Tilan a gift. It's the soul jade ball I made recently." He stood up, went to a corner of the activity room, opened the locked grid, and took out a black ball that was about the size of a baby's head. Jade ball, its color is deep and translucent.
"Its interior is engraved with micron filaments, which can be used to easily perform some necromancy secrets, and it can also allow the creatures of the withering sequence to inhabit it after becoming virtual."
"This is expensive to make. Not only does it take effort, but the material cost is also not cheap." Galina smacked her tongue slightly.
"It's nothing. It's rare to meet people who have such a common discourse. There are still too few people of the same age who still understand the undead sequence." Sherinch shook his head, saying that the gift was just his heart.
"I am now proficient in making this kind of magic ball. It will not be difficult to make another one in the future, it just takes some time."
"Tilan doesn't have to refuse. I look forward to continuing to exchange experiences with you next time." After saying that, he handed the soul jade ball to the girl.
Soul Jade Sphere [Rare Gold Level]: A sphere made by Sherinch according to ancient classics. It can more conveniently perform various necromancy secrets, and can store the virtual life of the necromantic sequence and the withering sequence into it. , such as ghosts, resentful spirits, etc.
"This... then thank you, Senior Shelinqi." The girl wanted to refuse, but she thought that she seemed to have a pet with a withering sequence, that is, the big spider, so she accepted it.
If you put it into the Soul Jade Sphere, you can easily carry it to Edes Academy, so this guy won't complain and be depressed.
"Come here often, Tilan. Our club welcomes companions who can share their experiences."
After another round of invitations and appointments, the three of them left the club activity room.
At noon, the three of them went to have dinner, and in the afternoon they continued to visit and learn more about each other. Most of the clubs during the period were various hobby clubs, such as sports, art and painting, and a few music-related ones, such as playing, dancing, rock, etc. wait.
The next day, it was Gelina who led the two of them, but the club they went to today was a bit special.
"This is the 'Tikosi Plant Research Society', which mainly studies the cultivation and catalysis of Tikosi seeds." After Galina finished speaking, she led the two of them to open the door.
"Alian? Why are you here?" Tilan saw an acquaintance from her club.
There are transparent glass covers everywhere in the activity room, and inside the covers are plants of different sizes and colors. Some of them are in full bloom, some have just sprouted, and the flowers that bloom are also all kinds of strange, some are delicate and bright yellow, and some are as red as blood. Some of the ghost faces are in a state of disrepair, and they have withered away just after they bloomed.
In addition to Allen, there are 5 people here wearing white coats. Judging from their pointed ears, they should all have elven blood like Allen.
"Ah, I'm here for exchange and study. President Tilan also knows that I like plants very much." Ya Lian still held a test tube and a seed in his hand. After hearing the girl's voice, he raised his head in surprise and paused. It took him two seconds to explain.
"Yalian is an acquaintance of ours. If it weren't for an accident last year, it would be normal for him to join our club." A tall woman wearing a white coat and sharp eyebrows came over. She had a mature temperament. charming.
"Hello, my name is Mavis, president of the Ticos Botanical Research Society." She has a three-color golden flower badge on her collar, indicating that she is an official botanist with professional certification.
"You are Tilan, you look a bit petite." Compared to Tilan, who is about 1.6 meters tall, the blond elf woman in front of her is about 1.8 meters tall. When she gets closer, Tilan has to raise her head slightly to see clearly. her face.
"Uh, yes, I'm Tilan."
"It's just a little unexpected. I don't blame Ya Lian for being here." Tilan felt that there was some misunderstanding in the other party's hostility towards her.
"Ah haha, Senior Sister Mavis, you scared little Tilan." Allen put down what he was holding and came over.
"Okay, maybe I got it wrong. Well, who, right, what's wrong with Galina coming here today?" She gently rubbed her forehead with her fingers, and then asked the girl with glasses on the side.
"Because Tilan has just joined the student union, I brought her here today to get familiar with and understand the situation."
"Oh, it turns out it's such a small thing." She was slightly disappointed and waved her hand casually.
"Let Ya Lian show you around, he's quite familiar with it." After saying that, she sat back on the big sofa in the room, her legs simply crossed and raised, and her head tilted back, as if she was preparing to take a nap.
…
"So, the situation became like this." Allen, Tilan and Anneli walked in the glass house densely covered with various plants, talking about some past events.
It turned out that he had known Mavis for a long time, and she was somewhat distantly related to him. When they were young, they were very familiar with each other because of their family contacts. After that, Mavis's main focus was also on plants, and she often asked Allen's questions. My father asked me for advice, so the two met often.
"Originally, I chose Edes Academy because of Senior Sister Mavis, but I didn't expect that after entering the academy, I went to other clubs."
"What do you mean by other societies?" Anneli, who was behind Tilan, felt a little frustrated.
"Are you still aggrieved by the fact that our Twilight Band accepted you?"
"That's not true, it's just a bit unexpected. I also wanted to work as a consultant at the time, but I didn't expect that later on, I was really impressed by Tilan, ahem." Allen explained, which made Anneli's expression slightly calmer. slow.
"However, I did feel a little sorry for Sister Mavis, so she later came to me to help, and I didn't refuse. I hope President Tilan won't be angry."
"You don't have to be so rigid about such a small matter. It's okay for Ya Lian to come casually." The girl shook her head. She didn't think it had any impact at all. There wasn't much serious business in the Twilight Band.
"He is such an open-minded and understanding man. President Tilan is indeed my idol." At this time, Allen returned to his usual style, which made the girl want to complain.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I have been visiting the clubs in the academy in the past few days, and only then did I discover many people and things in Edes Academy that I had not noticed before."
"Indeed, most students will organize their activities around their own academic advancement and club friends. If they are not insiders, even if they are in the same academy, they may always be on parallel lines without any intersection." Allen explained.
"I have a lot to learn recently. I feel like President Amorsi's arrangements for me are too heavy. Do I really have to be responsible for so many club contacts and activity arrangements?" Tilan rubbed the side of her ear, feeling like she couldn't remember it quickly. There are so many names and associations here.
"President, you can get used to it gradually in the future. In fact, you don't need to remember every club clearly, just have a general understanding." Ya Lian suggested from the side.
"I guess President Amors doesn't mean to put you in charge of so many and complicated affairs. It's probably just to familiarize you with the various parts of the academy in the early stage, so you know what's going on."
"Well, I hope that's the case, otherwise it feels like there won't be enough for one person." The girl looked at the scenery outside the window, and then looked at Allen aside, thinking about how to catch this guy and work as a coolie. Since he joined the club, , the trend was taken astray, and I always felt that this guy had a faint tendency to make fun of me.
"Uh, ah, ha, ha, ha, don't you have enough manpower? There are a lot of idle people in the club, for example, that kid Jin Senke." Allen turned his eyes and replied with a guilty conscience.
"Speaking of which, during this holiday, Jin Senke caused a big fuss in Valk's hometown."
"What's going on?" Annelie was suddenly interested.
"Probably blowing up an abandoned factory, piloting a simple mecha, and using machine guns to sweep away the local gangs."
In a remote area like North Ninth District, Jin Senke's family background can be said to have no rivals. He released the violence in his heart, and it was a relatively righteous act. This greatly satisfied his desire for fun, and he was also sought after by the locals. , making him extremely proud.
"It is said that after receiving thanks from local orphans and children, he donated a huge sum of money to local charities with a stroke of his pen." Ya Lian recalled the rumors he heard recently.
"It should be considered a good thing." Tilan said a little uncertainly. It seems that a lot of changes have taken place this semester.
