Chapter 492 : Eunice-Gale
Chapter 492: Eunice-Gale
Just like the 【Fallen Stars】, the 【Black Hole】 also belonged to the relatively common cosmic phenomena within the 【Star Domain Zone】.
However, since the 【Star Domain Zone】 was truly vast, and the appearance of a 【Black Hole】 was somewhat random in location, the chance of encountering a complete 【Black Hole】 near the 【Material Plane】 was still quite low.
Yet, even so, every time a complete 【Black Hole】 appeared within the star domain of the 【Material Plane】, it would always draw intense attention from the large transcendental organizations within the secondary wizard gathering grounds.
For instance, organizations such as the 【Hundred Towers】 of Dordogne, the 【Forest of Nature】 of Florence, and the 【Church of the Three Eyes】 in Phoenix City. Naturally, the reason these transcendental organizations paid such close attention to the movement of a 【Black Hole】 was precisely because of the immense value contained within it.
As everyone knew, the appearance of each 【Black Hole】 represented that a 【Plane World】—not necessarily smaller in scale than the 【Material Plane】—was facing the demise of its 【Plane Will】.
The death of a 【Plane Will】 also meant massive loss of its 【Plane Origin】, and during the process of that loss, an enormous quantity of 【Source Power】 would inevitably be formed.
That, in turn, was the kind of top-tier resource that every major transcendental organization coveted eagerly.
However, as Janna-Roland reread the contents of the letter once more, she still could not figure out why Hela-Helheim regarded the appearance of the 【Black Hole】 as an opportunity for the two of them.
From what Janna knew, all 【Black Holes】 appeared in the 【Upper Star Domain】, which was the 【Leap Zone】 where full-fledged wizards resided.
And as for the two of them—newcomers who had yet to condense even a single complete 【Law】 within their 【Fallen Stars】—they had absolutely no way to break through the barrier of the 【Crawling Zone】 and force their way into the 【Leap Zone】.
Even if they could, with the immense energy field within the 【Leap Zone】, it was not something two 【Fallen Stars】 could possibly withstand—unless… “Unless this time, the location of the 【Black Hole】’s appearance happens to be in the 【Lower Star Domain】… but that would contradict the natural laws of the universe.”
The birth of a 【Black Hole】 was often accompanied by violent energy outbursts, and such energy leakage was absolutely not something the 【Fallen Stars】 of the 【Lower Star Domain】 could endure.
For that very reason, if traces of a 【Black Hole】 suddenly appeared within the 【Lower Star Domain】, Janna would not need Hela-Helheim to send her a letter— the White Tower would have already notified everyone immediately.
"Forget it. Rather than making random guesses here, I might as well wait until I meet Hela and hear her explanation in person."
In the letter Hela-Helheim had sent to Janna, aside from briefly explaining the matter of the 【Black Hole】’s appearance, she had also arranged to meet her tomorrow at noon in the library café to discuss the matter in detail.
"It’s getting late; I should start previewing tomorrow’s class content."
Saying that, Janna returned to her desk and took the 《Advanced Transfiguration》 textbook from the small bookshelf beside her.
"I’ve been here so long and finally have the chance to attend the 《Advanced Transfiguration》 class… I wonder who the teaching wizard will be——"
When Janna had first arrived at the White Tower, she had chosen eight courses: 《Advanced Contract Studies》, 《Advanced Guardian Studies》, 《Advanced Medical Studies》, 《Advanced Transfiguration》, 《Advanced Mutation Studies》, 《Pharmacology》, as well as the White Tower’s recommended electives—《Law and Plane Studies》 and 《Otherworldly Biology》.
Up until now, except for 《Advanced Medical Studies》 and 《Advanced Transfiguration》, Janna had already attended numerous lessons with the other instructors. Only these two classes had yet to be scheduled due to various reasons.
Fortunately, last weekend, after months of waiting, Janna finally saw 《Advanced Transfiguration》 appear on her timetable.
"In the field of 【Beginner Transfiguration】, I suppose I’ve achieved a little success… of course, that’s only among apprentices of the same tier. Anything higher, and I’d fall short."
Thinking that, Janna opened the 《Advanced Transfiguration》 textbook she had already read countless times in private, directing her gaze to the first part of the first chapter—Complete Transfiguration.
The next morning.
"It’s time."
Looking at the time displayed on the mechanical clock, Janna—who had finished her preparations early—quickly lit the Spiritual Candle standing beside the 《Advanced Transfiguration》 textbook and began reciting the ritual chants.
"O all-knowing and almighty Lord of Knowledge and Wisdom, You are the Light of Wisdom, the Guardian of Books and Knowledge amidst the Dust of Time. Please hear my sincere call and open before me the Gate to the World Inside the Book———"
As the long chant flowed from Janna’s lips, the Spiritual Candle flared with a platinum flame.
"Fwoosh——"
The candlelight flickered, and the pages of the book turned on their own.
Amidst a moment of consciousness withdrawal, Janna’s mind drifted with the dancing flame and entered the 【World Inside the Book】.
"Good morning, apprentices. I am your 《Advanced Transfiguration》 instructor—Eunice-Gale."
When Janna opened her eyes again, she saw before her a tall green elf with short, ear-length emerald hair, long pointed ears, delicate features, and two sharply defined brows exuding heroic energy, standing proudly on the platform.
"Eunice? The same Eunice who missed the 《Law and Plane Studies》 class because she joined the 【Plane War】? She’s actually a Green Elf…"
Back when Hephis-Stellar was teaching 《Law and Plane Studies》, he had said he was only substituting for Professor Eunice, who had gone to participate in the 【Plane War】 and could not return in time.
But due to an unexpected event, the 【Plane War】 had been indefinitely prolonged, forcing Hephis-Stellar to serve as a substitute instructor for several months.
"Before we begin the lesson, let me introduce myself first, since many of you probably don’t know me yet."
She really was a gentle elf.
Looking at Eunice-Gale’s smile, warm as spring sunlight, and listening to her soft, kind voice, Janna formed a very favorable impression of the elven wizard upon their very first meeting.
"As you can see, I am an elf wizard from the 【Forest of Elves】 and also a proud graduate of the White Tower. To this day, I’ve already been at the White Tower for nearly fifty years."
Saying this, Eunice-Gale slowly raised her palm.
"My Wizard Talent lies in the A-level Plant Domain—【Plant Manipulation】—and the 【Law】 I specialize in is also related to the authority of plants—the 【Law of Plants】."
