Firefly Journey

It is said that the school library was originally closed at night, until Mr. Blair took office. Because he was a ghost and did not need to sleep, and liked to stay in the library, the school changed the rules and opened it at night, 24 hours a day.

Lin Yuanran went there early in the morning. After thinking it over carefully, he realized that leaving early was not a good idea, so he decided to take advantage of his free time to do his own thing.

Lin Yuanran didn't see Blair when he entered, but that didn't matter. Following the labels on the bookshelves, he searched all the way over, flipping through the bookshelf containing the Oracles of Space.

Unfortunately, neither the table of contents of any of these books contains any record of connecting to other dimensions.

As for summoning magic, there was no mention of any precedent for pulling creatures from another dimension. Lin Yuanran began to waver. Was his thinking wrong?

He wasn't a transmigrator at all; he was originally from this world. His original memories were caused by some kind of secret technique.

The more Lin Yuanran thought about it, the more sense it made. If those memories weren't so vividly present in his mind, he would have almost believed it.

After several unsuccessful checks, and seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yuanran decided to go to class first.

Without warning, that withered, bony arm reached out to me.

Even knowing it was Mr. Blair, Lin Yuanran still felt a shiver run down his spine.

"Good morning... Mr. Blair," Lin Yuanran had no choice but to greet him.

Blair nodded slightly: "I've seen you lingering here for quite a while. Which book are you looking for? Tell me, I've been here for decades, perhaps I can help."

"A pillow delivered just when you're sleepy?" Lin Yuanran's face lit up with joy, and he no longer cared about his strange behavior, saying, "I want to find records about spatial oracles, summoning ones are fine too."

Blair said, "Judging from your magical fluctuations, you should be a 'fire mage,' right? Are you looking for those two oracles on someone's behalf?"

Lin Yuanran naturally couldn't explain the truth, so he forced a smile and said, "Those two professions are so cool, I want to develop in that direction in the future..."

“Is that so?” Blair didn’t seem to question it much. “This row contains the common oracles on the market. You’ve looked at them for a while and you’re obviously not very satisfied. Over there, there’s a different one. You can take a look if you’re interested.”

"Really? I can watch it?" Lin Yuanran was overjoyed.

“Of course,” Blair said. “That wasn’t an oracle, it was a miracle.”

Miracles... no wonder they're not grouped with these divine pronouncements.

"Does anyone usually look after it?" Lin Yuanran asked.

Blair said, "Miracles, no matter where they are, are not to be shown to the public easily. Most people in the academy have never even heard of them, let alone seen them."

"Then you said I could..."

"Since you've taken charge of cleaning the dorm, you should get some reward."

Huh? This works too? Lin Yuanran thought he misheard, but Blair's tone didn't sound like he was joking. He didn't have time to think about it. The clue to going home was right in front of him, so there was no reason not to look at it.

Blair extended his skeletal hand and gently beckoned, causing all the books in the corner to detach from the shelves and float in the air. His black robe lifted off the ground, and he drifted around in the sea of ​​books.

Before long, he found the book that Lin Yuanran needed, took it, and returned to the ground. The rest of the books went back to their respective shelves.

Blair handed over the ancient book with its light black cover and a few specks of dust: "Take it."

Lin Yuanran took it, hurriedly thanked him, and was about to open it when he was surprised to find that it was not a book at all, but a metal box.

When you open it, there's a thin piece of paper lying quietly inside.

Miracle. Phase shift.

The description is very detailed, including incantations and the operation of magical power, covering all aspects.

If Lin Yuanran were a "space mage," he would probably jump up with joy on the spot, then bow down and say that he would never forget your great kindness.

Unfortunately, he was a first-tier "fire mage". The miracle was right in front of him but he could not use it for his own purposes. Even though he was happy, he could only sigh in secret because of the difference in their professions.

“You don’t seem particularly happy,” Blair said after he finished reading.

"I am not a 'space mage'..." Lin Yuanran said regretfully.

Blair smiled and said, "Human babies learn to move independently by crawling. As for whether they can fly in the future, that depends on their abilities. How do you know you won't be able to fly in the future?"

Lin Yuanran understood a bit: "You mean... if I fail when I try to advance, maybe I can take the path of 'Space Mage'?"

However, as far as I know, the 'new profession' obtained when awakening fails is random.

"Not really."

"what?"

Blair explained, "This is a matter of common sense. It's normal for someone new to the extraordinary to not know this."

The world is so vast, and nature is full of wonders. Some rare and precious materials even possess the power to guide and awaken consciousness.

Lin Yuanran's eyes lit up: "Please explain further, sir."

Blair said, "To tell you the truth, the miracle I'm about to grant you was given to someone by name, but I can't reveal who it is."

Seeing that you are a 'Fire Mage,' I originally intended to give you a fire-based divine relic, but you seem more interested in the ethereal space travel. Fortunately, I have one here as well. If you can truly cultivate it, at the same level, it will be far more useful than a fire-based divine relic—no, it should be said that it far surpasses it.

As for the materials to guide awakening, you'll need to find them yourself. If I remember correctly, the relevant knowledge and materials can be exchanged using the academy's points.

Lin Yuanran was speechless. Someone had greeted him? Who could it be?

Lin Yuanran's first thought was Cassius Bello, who had led him into the realm of the extraordinary. Since he was a good person, it would be reasonable to give him another miracle, right?

Impossible. Lin Yuanran immediately dismissed the idea. No matter how powerful Cassius was, he was just an ordinary teacher in the academy. He himself only knew one "Primordial Light" and did not have so many resources.

Who could it be? Lin Yuanran suddenly looked up.

There is only one answer: the mastermind behind sending him to this ghostly world.

Since He facilitated the time travel event, He must have had a corresponding motive and desired outcome, and helping Him cultivate was one of those things.

With this in mind, Lin Yuanran suddenly understood.

He didn't press Blair for details, because the other party clearly didn't want him to know, and asking would be pointless; perhaps even Mr. Blair didn't know who it was.

The only certainty is that it must be a true god, or even an evil god.

Lin Yuanran calmed his thoughts, burying the turmoil deep within his heart. Before the truth came out, he couldn't show that he was out of place in this world.

"Thank him for me."

"Maybe it's Him," Lin Yuanran added in his mind.

Blair paused for about two seconds, seemingly wondering why you didn't ask, and maybe I would have told you?

Although he certainly won't say, isn't it a bit illogical that you didn't even ask? He had prepared a sophisticated explanation, but it turned out like punching cotton, without even a sound.

“You have already thanked Him.”

"Here's the paper. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me. Your teacher is capable of answering ordinary divine pronouncements, but this is a miracle after all, and it's not consistent with the one he has mastered. I will help with that." Blair was slightly annoyed, but he didn't show it in his tone, as that would be too beneath him.

Lin Yuanran thanked him respectfully again. After flipping through the fire-elemental divine oracle in other areas, he didn't borrow any of them. He was afraid that, like in martial arts novels, practicing them haphazardly would lead to qi deviation. He decided to wait for his teacher to return and ask for his opinion.

As he left the library, Lin Yuanran put the thin paper in his pocket and silently recited the miracle incantation over and over again.

"Fragmented and distorted rules, hidden passages to all worlds, unfold before me."
