Chapter 2523 "School Director" Hamilton and the interrupted clues

Miss Danister raised her hand and let the teacup float towards her:

“Of course it’s strange that the ownership of the college’s property and management rights is unclear, but not many people know about this, and it won’t affect the normal operation of the college. The ancient college rules are the most basic rules of St. Byron’s Comprehensive College.

Normally, even without the visit of the two principals, you would know the management and ownership issues after you inherit my position in the future. It's not just us. The Zala Liberal Arts College and the Sekses Higher Medical School also have a large share of management and ownership that has been unclear for a long time."

Xia De frowned:

"May I ask when did this situation begin? The fifth or sixth era?"

"Xia De, I can't answer this question for you. All the successive presidents of the college have conducted investigations, but we have to admit that the loss of data is really too serious."

Shad's inspiration told him that this was definitely not normal, but Miss Danister was not concerned about what Shad was thinking:

"It's just right that you're here. It's like this. Although according to the academy regulations, most of the wealth accumulated from your ownership over the past thousands of years has been invested in the expansion and various construction of the academy, but in addition to the fixed assets that cannot be converted into cash for the time being, you still have a large amount of liquid funds in the academy that can be mobilized at any time. Of course, I don't recommend that you withdraw all of it."

She told Shade a number that was almost enough to build another Yuewan Bridge:

"What plans do you have for this property? Your ownership of this property is written into the most basic regulations of St. Byron's, so you don't have to worry about the college hiding anything."

"I don't have any plans. After all, I'm not short of money. Besides, if I took away so much of the college's liquidity in one go, the college would be very distressed."

Shade said, and Miss Danister smiled:

"Then do you want me to use honorifics for you? According to the modern college's name, you are now one of the directors, and I just work for you. Although I enjoy 1% of the college's profits every year before I retire because of my position, this is a public welfare for the college management and cannot be compared with the respected Hamilton director."

Xia De shuddered:

"Don't say that. I just know that I won't have to spend money to buy knowledge and relics in the academy in the future, right?"

The red-haired sorceress nodded:

"Of course it's free, and although you as a school director do not have management rights, because your ownership share exceeds 5%, you have the right to make suggestions and opinions to the college as a school director. We will discuss this. So, what suggestions do you have for the college now?"

"Well can you increase Emilia's salary as the librarian's assistant?"

The sorceress who was drinking black tea smiled:

"of course can."

"Can I ask for a raise for you then?"

Shade asked again. Miss Danister raised her eyebrows in surprise, then smiled at him:

"Of course you can, but I don't recommend it. You will inherit the position in the future, so your suggestion seems to be for your own benefit."

"Is that so? Then maybe we can improve the afternoon tea standard for professors and use better tea and snacks. Of course, since the principal and librarian work harder, the afternoon tea allowance for these two positions can be raised a bit higher."

Xia De said this, but he didn't feel too much in his heart. For a ring sorcerer of his level, if he wanted money, he could easily get it from the world of ordinary people.

Besides, this asset of Saint Byron must have been a gift left to him by Miss Feliana and Miss Orlanod in the Fifth Epoch, but it was not given until this visit. For this gift that came across time, Shade felt that he should not squander it before he completely found a way to make those ancient witches come to the Sixth Epoch permanently.

"Afternoon tea allowance? Then please allow me to thank you on behalf of the professors."

Miss Danister said, and then Shade really stood up from the chair, wrote a "school director's letter" with his left hand at home and sent it to Miss Danister. The college's review mechanism will recognize the source of this letter, and the ancient St. Byrons still remembers the person who brought it the land.

Miss Danister did not change her attitude towards Shade because of his change of identity. She just reminded him:

“I am glad that you have not lost yourself in your wealth, but although you do not want to use that vast fortune now, you must explain what is to be done with the money.

Should we continue to invest internally in the college as before, or should we allocate a certain amount of money each year to invest in other industries? "

"Can I ask you to help me manage it? I don't know much about St. Byron's College, and I don't have time to think about business matters. How about giving you 10% of the annual profit? Or more is also fine."

"Want to bribe me? No, no, I'm not yet at the stage where I can think of saving for retirement. 1% is enough. But if I do that, the academy will think that I have some special relationship with the God Summoner."

She put down the teacup, smiled and narrowed her eyes, but Xia De didn't care:

"If there is one, then there is another. Since Miss Felina took the initiative to link the God Summoner with the academy, then a suitable person is indeed needed to maintain this relationship. It can't be Emilia, right?"

Miss Danister didn't say anything else, that is, she agreed to this matter. However, to deal with such a large amount of assets, she would need to find a suitable person to draw up a plan and program, and she would still have to discuss it with Shade at that time.

Today, I just told Shade these things and handed him an old parchment document, which proved Shade's partial ownership of St. Byrons. As for whether he wanted a house or land, or the knowledge and materials, these needed to be negotiated afterwards.

But Xia De is now more inclined to take nothing. After all, according to school rules, no one else can take away anything that belongs to him.

Of course, none of the above was the main point of Shade's visit this time. Compared to the wealth that he and Mia could not spend, he was more concerned about Miss Danister's teacher:

"Let's get back to business. Is there any news from the followers of the God of Music - [Harmonious Weaver]?"

The sorceress who was flirting with Shade just now also sat up straight:

"Yes, I met them successfully. After I revealed my identity, they were willing to cooperate with me. However, the female bishop who was famous for the Moonlight Sonata in the music sect that Laplace Howard recommended to the teacher in the notes you provided has passed away.

This is not surprising, after all, she was a musician of the past. Few in the present order know that she had met my teacher. The time I was away was mainly spent sorting out the relics of the bishop, which was not an easy task.

She leaned lazily on the sofa again:

"But fortunately, I did gain some knowledge before being urgently summoned to Yuewan by the principal. How should I put it? From the diary of that lady, the teacher seemed to think that the [Music Cult] was a branch of the ancient 'Moon Worship Cult'.

In other words, the sect of the ancient god Silver Moon Sage fell apart after the god left, but some of its people became believers of the old god, the God of Music, after he appeared. "

This is also not surprising. The cults of the ancient gods exist in various other forms in modern times, among which the Church of the Five Gods is the most typical example:

"Ms. Danister, this is the first time I've heard of this. What is the relationship between music that inherits the moon worship faith and the moon?"

The librarian looked at him suspiciously:

"Shade, don't you know? The ancient gods [Secret Keeper] and [Silver Moon Sage] share the authority of art, but the original god of music is indeed the latter."

As he spoke, he drew the holy emblem of the Moon Sage on his chest.

"The Moon God's authority is really extensive. Please continue."

“The current bishop of the Music Cult also admitted that they did inherit some ancient things, but now even the old gods have long gone, and what they have left is of no value.

The former bishop's diary did not mention that she and the teacher discussed anything other than the origin of the order, so I asked what knowledge and traditions the current [Music Order] still has related to that sage. "

She paused here deliberately and looked at Xia De, so Xia De asked:

"She mentioned the ruins of the tower on Mount Karas, didn't she?"

"Yes, they still have the tradition of performing in the ruins every ten years on the night of the fullest silver moon. Even now that the tower has collapsed, they still plan to perform in the ruins in the next ten years."

"What's playing?"

“It’s usually the best music written by a member of the Order in the past ten years.”

"Besides playing, what else do they do there?"

“There are no other activities.”

"So has your teacher ever been with them?"

"No, this is a private event of the sect, only for believers to attend."

After a series of conversations, both of them were silent. After a long while, Xia De asked:

"So the clue ends here? Just like the sun, moon and star ritual symbols that appeared at the Karas Mountain Ruins and the Randall River Valley Dark Temple at the same time?"

"But at least I know why the teacher went to Mount Karas. Maybe the teacher also knew about the ruins there from other places, but it was obviously the visit to the [Music Cult] that made her sure that there was something wrong there."

Miss Danister looked at Shade from under the huge planetarium in the library:

"Karas Mountain, all the clues point to that place, but I haven't found any clues after several visits. Come on, let's sort out our thoughts. The clues about the Old God's followers are gone, but I have other clues here."
