Chapter 109: Summoning Ritual Expert
The next day, Charles woke up early, took a long bath in hot water, and soon walked out of the bedroom after changing his cloth into a formal black one. Then, he went downstairs and soon smiled as he saw Titus and Jessie were cooking earnestly.
\'Not bad. Hmm? Titus still hasn\'t gone to sleep yet. I need to give him an exact schedule for sleeping and training, otherwise; things will go in an unpredictable way for him.\' Charles sat on the Chesterfield Sofa and waited for them to arrange breakfast in the dining hall.
They finished their cooking in less than 30 minutes and invited him and the other two kids to the dining hall. Once everyone was seated in their respective seats, Jessie took the lead and served the food. Although she knew nothing about noble etiquette and all, she tried her best and did her work seriously like a true maid.
Nodding his head, Charles took the fork and had small pieces of lamb chop, a few sticks of bread, and drank the thick vegetable soup. After that, he placed the napkin to the left side of the plate, then stood up from his seat, and left the dining hall.
Then, he checked the timer and soon went to the Tower of Elements. Unlike Rhea, he needed to be in the third layer before 8 A.M. to meet the head of the Ritual Chambers department.
He didn\'t stop anywhere and soon reached the third layer. Thankfully, professor Robert was in his office room, so he instantly got the appointment.
Charles entered the room and soon saw a deep-blue-haired man in his late forties seated on the office chair and seemed to be in the middle of playing with a pencil. He wore a red robe, had a slightly wrinkled rough face, thin mustache, monolid blue eyes, and pale skin.
Noticing his arrival, he raised his head and greeted him.
"Welcome to the department of Ritual Chambers, Mr. Oswald."
Charles walked in with slow footsteps, nodded his head at Robert, and soon arrived in front of the wooden table.
"Please have a seat, Mr. Oswald." Robert smiled slightly and gestured him to sit on the wooden chair.
Meanwhile, Charles pulled the chair, held the black cane\'s handle to support his body, and sat down with some difficulty.
"What are your qualifications for this job, sir?" Robert turned his face serious and went straight to the point.
A smile appeared on Charles\'s face as he raised his left hand, placed it on the wooden table, and spoke in a serious tone.
"I\'m specialized in summoning ritual ceremonies."
His simple words made Robert\'s expression freeze in shock for a moment. Unlike other ritual methods, the summoning ritual method was a completely different and abnormal one.
During the Arcane Era, Mages used this type of ritual method specifically to summon creatures from a particular plane with the help of coordinates and study them before making a planar invasion. But this one contains great risk.
A few thousand years ago, a group of low-rank arcane mages tried to summon a low-level creature from a Hell Plane but ended up summoning a Devil Lord!
That was a Demi-God-level Existence!
Thankfully, the First Era Arcane Mages at that time were powerful enough to face such a monster and were powerful enough to seal it in a Time crystal. If not, the whole Arcane Empire might have destroyed by the devil.
After that incident, nobody dares to take this summoning ritual method lightly and used it in extreme caution.
So when Robert heard his answer, he was indeed shocked inside.
"I\'m well experienced in this field, so you don\'t have to worry," Charles added with a grin.
A forced smile appeared on Robert\'s face as he didn\'t dare to take the risk, so he instantly thought of sending this old man to the teaching section.
"Mr. Oswald, would you mind if I ask you to pass down your knowledge to our department students? You know, this summoning ritual method is a very dangerous path and we currently have no expert in that field. So, it would be very helpful if a master like you could pass some knowledge to our students."
\'And, we might also observe your knowledge in this field.\' Robert added inwardly.
Charles thought for a moment and soon agreed.
In truth, he actually feared that Robert would ask him to do a small summoning ritual ceremony as a sample and always sat there in anxiety.
\'Fortunately, he didn\'t. Otherwise, things would have gone in an unpredictable direction due to my strange unluckiness.\' He muttered to himself and soon waited for him to give the class schedule.
Robert didn\'t take too much time, though. After some checking, he wrote down his lecture timing on a white paper and passed it to him.
\'Monday- 1.00 P.M to 3 P.M., Classroom no- 304
Wednesday- 8 A.M to 11 A.M, Classroom no- 218
Sunday- 9 A.M to 1 P.M., Classroom no- 311.\'
Charles glanced at the paper and soon nodded.
"I will take my leave then." He stood up with the support of the black cane, said in a solemn tone, and soon walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, Robert sat on the wooden chair silently and soon raised his eyebrows.
"I should have asked him to do a sample ritual ceremony. I heard that most of these ritual masters are very lucky and even able to summon some precious elemental creatures from other planes. If he really is a master in that field…" His voice trailed off as he soon felt a vibration from his pant pocket.
He frowned a bit, took out a small silver ring, and soon touched the red crystal on it.
"I\'ll be there in a minute, Teacher," He spoke in a hurry, stood up from his seat, and then walked out of his room.
…
Tower of Elements, 8th Layer,
A black-haired woman in her late 20s stood on the balcony and stared at the large city with a frown. She wore a jade robe, had scarlet eyes, an oval face, and a small nose.
"Something is wrong… Why did I felt a sudden premonition a while ago?" Tilting her head, she asked herself, closed her eyes for a moment, and soon noticed that change already disappeared from her mind.
\'Did someone change their own fate?\' She raised her eyebrows in confusion and soon cast that thought away from her mind.
…
On the other hand, Charles walked out of the Tower of Elements and soon returned to 11C Orchard Street.
After that, he went to his study room and started his concentration on comprehending the [Incinerate] spell model.
One month passed in a blink of an eye.
During the time, Charles acted cautiously and concentrated his full attention on imparting assassin knowledge to Titus, and at the same time, completely comprehended the [Incinerate] spell model.
Moreover, he didn\'t forget his job in the magic tower and started teaching basics about summoning rituals under the Holem\'s Crown\'s guidance. To his surprise, the Holem\'s Crown knowledge about the summoning ritual ceremony surpassed all the ritual masters and caused a great commotion in the Ritual Chambers Department!
By doing this job, Charles also made some progression in the ritual study!
Not only him, but Rhea also made a significant progression in her personal mission by constructing her first water spell model in 24 days and gave him a huge surprise.
In the meantime, Jessie had completely grasped complete information about the houses and streets of Mystics\' Borough and already moved to Nobles\' Borough.
\'Only Noel is showing no progression in his personal mission. Although he already started training his body and sword skills and even participated in a few tests to become an official Tower Guard, his strength is still far from enough. Hmm, I need to give him a slight push.\' Sighing deeply, Charles leaned his back against the wooden chair, took out a silver pocket watch from his space ring, and soon opened the outer case to check the time.
\'It\'s time,\' He stood up from his seat, took a hooded black jacket from his space ring, and stealthily walked out of his study room.
After that, he cast [Conceal] skill on himself, asked the Holem\'s Crown to change its form into a bracelet, and wore it.
Then, he wore a hooded jacket, went near the balcony, and silently climbed down towards the backside of the house. Once he landed on the ground, he covered his head with the black hood and started moving towards the Orchard Street Junction.
