He then flipped through the details again .
Lin Sheng folded the pages that contained the diagram, the activation chant, materials, and notes and planned to write them down to his notes once he wakes up .
What he regretted was that some parts of the diagram’s notes had slightly blurred away .
“This sort of blurriness, I’m not sure if it can be restored, what actually caused it?” Lin Sheng closed the book and sighed .
“All this knowledge… All these rituals are usable and are real . And if the knowledge is real, then did it exist before in this dream that I had entered?”
He recalled that phrase he saw in Blackfeather City .
“The entirety of Blackfeather City would be dragged into the dream . ”
“What if all of these dreams are real? Then I’m…”
Lin Sheng turned silent .
He started wondering if he had found the so-called rifts in the dream and had gone into Blackfeather City by accident .
“Ah, screw that . Let’s deal with it as it comes . I have too little information with me now, not possible to theorize anything . ”
He then stood up and placed the book onto the bed as he continued to search the book rack .
After segregating the books that had totally faded away, Lin Sheng still managed to pull out six books that could be read .

One was about the history of Snowgale Fortress . Two about the structure of souls, while another was talking about how to create a harp called the Bloodazure . The last two books were an introduction and advance primer to Deviltongue,
Lin Sheng went through the history book, before looking at the ones talking about souls .
What disappointed him was that the core information was already obtained through the memory fragments of the cleric .
Then there was the book about the harp .
“…Bloodazure Harp . It is a craftsman item, and it is the type of craftsmanship that can train one’s supernatural abilities . The instrument seems easy enough to make, easy enough to learn but hard to master . The materials required are as below…”
Lin Sheng looked over . The instrument had only three parts: the chords, frame, and tuner . The materials required are not rare, and there were no specific materials required . It’ll work as long as he can find a good replacement .
“Well, I can make one to play with at home when I’m free . ” Lin Sheng closed the book and picked up the last two books about Deviltongue .
The two books were a primer of the special tongue used by evil spirits .
“Evil spirits” was the all-encompassing name for the dangerous spiritual beings . Conversely, those that are docile and not dangerous are called holy spirits .
As evil spirits are much stronger, and their numbers far exceeded the holy spirits, so Deviltongue was considered as a language that spellcasters need to master, and was compiled into a book before being placed here .
Lin Sheng quickly browsed through the abstract and understood what the language was all about . He then closed it and put it down .
He did not have the luxury of time to linger around .
The last time he had mysteriously been yanked out of Blackfeather City, and could no longer enter it .
And this made Lin Sheng worry that his time at one place is limited .

“Information is key!”
He then picked up the “Summoning Ritual” again that started reading it .
This time around, he planned to master the Elementary Summoning of Otherworlders, and after testing it out, only will he go against the gray angel once again .
Since it could not come in, and with it guarding the door, this place was extremely safe .
Rather than scampering around outside, he might as well take the opportunity to learn here .
And what was more important was, that Lin Sheng felt the warmth that had summoned it was within the rock pillar the gray angel had stood on .
That means, he had to defeat the gray angel to get in contact with the true form of the warmth .
After that, he simply sat on the bed and started studying and memorizing the details of the summoning ritual .
There was a square window in the room, and outside was a sky blanketed in white as snow started to fall .
Borrowing the light, Lin Sheng read till he forgot the time; and slowly he felt giddy .
“It’s time to wake up…”
He carefully folded the pages as his sight blackened and his consciousness faded away .
And when he regained his consciousness, Lin Sheng opened his eyes and quickly got up and onto his desk as he took out his notebook and pen .
He swiftly recorded the materials needed for the summoning ritual, the matrix diagram and the activation chant .

The materials and activation chant was fine, as for the matrix diagram, even with Lin Sheng’s enhanced memory, he could only draw half of it at a time .
To remember a complex matrix, he usually would split them into several layers of memories, and every layer is a simple diagram . The full matrix diagram will be formed once the separate layers are piled on each other .
But this diagram was so complicated that he could only manage two layers at a time .
And if he wanted to recompile it, he needed at least four layers .
“I’ll try to memorize everything by tomorrow and hope it works . Let’s get the materials ready today!”
Lin Sheng was in a good mood . Even though he was almost done in by the gray angel, the subsequent find he had made it all worth it .
He then looked at the materials needed for the matrix .
“Ten white spiders, a blood-lipid candle, a standard unit of wind serpent grass, a standard unit of gold, ten standard units of silver powder, one windbell flower, twenty units of pure water, and ten standard units of venom arrows . ”
“All these materials… plus gold and silver are enough . The problem is with the white spiders and blood-lipid candle…”
Lin Sheng frowned as he started playing with his pen subconsciously .
“White spiders, based on the picture are small, white, semi-translucent spiders . A common enough pest, the description matches as well . I probably won’t be able to buy this, and can only catch them myself . ”
“Well, the white spiders will need some effort, but this blood-lipid candle…” Lin Sheng pondered .
“Based on the diagram and the explanation, the blood-lipid candle needs to be made out of the blood-lipids of living beings, it and can only be used after being lit up . ”
“Sounds fancy, but isn’t it just normal animal fat candle? I’ll get some pork fat candle later to try it out . ”
After having a gist of what to do, Lin Sheng headed out .
He changed up and had his breakfast before running off to the net café . After some twenty minutes, he managed to find out the location and habits of the white spiders .
He then went over to a gift shop, and bought a few small thousand-crane glass bottles before going straight to school .
At school, Lin Sheng applied for a day off and went to the nearby fruit farm with the bottles .
Based on the information on the net, the most common place they would appear was a fruit and vegetable garden as these insects were herbivores and one of the pests that bred easily .
So they could be seen in most farms .
As for if they would be killed by pesticides . The information on the net shows that they are particularly resistant towards pesticides, and Lin Sheng figures that catching about ten of them would not be too difficult .
As for school, now that it was close to the exam period, and the lectures had pretty much been wrapped up . It was a self-study period now at school . So it did not matter if he goes to school or not .
Rather than going to school, Lin Sheng decided to skip the day and settle the matter with this elementary summoning .
Or else, he would need to wait a whole day before going out to look for the materials . And who knows how long would that delay his preparations .
