Secret Room Completed

Upon returning to the secret chamber, Gu Xi saw that the Vampire who was supposed to be guarding it had fallen into a magnificent coffin.

The coffin appeared to have been taken from an ancient royal tomb; it was cast in precious gold, and every inch of it shimmered with dazzling light.

Its interior is filled with a peculiar liquid.

This liquid appears silver and translucent, but when you look through it, you see a terrifying deep red.

The surface of the coffin is carved with ancient runes, which seem to tell a story of a sealed history.

But what Gu Xi saw in the runes was Isabella's protection of the coffin.

Vampire soak in this liquid.

As Gu Xi approached the coffin, he opened his eyes briefly, but did not climb out of the coffin.

The treasure chest hidden in the secret chamber was placed behind the coffin.

Gu Xi could clearly feel that no matter where he approached the treasure chest, he would immediately come into contact with the coffin.

It is safe to say that, in dim lighting conditions, this magnificent and ancient coffin would attract the attention of everyone who enters the secret chamber.

This prevents people from immediately seeing the treasure chest behind the coffin.

Gu Xi walked up to the treasure chest, reached out and touched it, but did not open it.

Gu Xi knew very well that if he opened the treasure chest, the secret room would be half ruined.

He came to leave evidence that the secret room belonged to him, not to destroy it.

Lifting the treasure chest, Gu Xi quickly took out the outer shell of the Bloodstained Treasure Chest and put the treasure chest in front of him inside.

Then Gu Xi pushed the treasure chest forward, into the shadow of the coffin.

After doing all this, Gu Xi took out the key that Karimdo had given him and placed it on the lid of the Bloodstained Treasure Chest.

Then, following the instructions of the three old men, Gu Xi began to chant the incantation and the request in a low voice.

Under Gu Xi's incantation, the secret chamber before them changed once again.

The secret room in front of them looked even more ancient, and there were murals all around, depicting Isabella and her husband.

As for whether the events described here are true or not, Gu Xi didn't go into that much detail.

Gu Xi painted this not because of his love for Isabella.

Rather, it was to make some of the rules of this secret room more reasonable.

In this secret chamber, no matter how the battle goes, all the blood will be absorbed by the treasure chest behind the coffin.

No other blood will remain in the sealed room.

At the same time, this secret room also received a new name under this spell: the Bloodless Chamber.

Meanwhile, the matter of the Bloodstained Treasure Chest has also been settled in this spell.

A new rule has been introduced for this secret room.

Although this rule has not yet been recognized by the college.

However, as long as Gu Xi holds this key, can take up the position of Department Head, the secret room will be activated first when the college is re-established.

This was something Karimdo and the others could never have imagined.

They never expected that Gu Xi would know about the secret chamber and even have the spell to open and lock it.

They thought Gu Xi was just a newcomer who had just arrived at the Mysterious Academy and knew nothing.

Even if Gu Xi were given the task of being a Department Head, he would not be able to find a suitable candidate to serve as a professor or faculty member in the department.

Not to mention making further arrangements within the departments.

In Karimdo's view, making Gu Xi the Department Head was merely giving him a nice-sounding title.

They didn't contribute anything else.

On the contrary, when it comes to the materials needed for the establishment of the new department, they can simply ask Gu Xi for them without hesitation. After all, Gu Xi is the Department Head of the new department, so if he doesn't pay, who will?

However, Gu Xi is now beyond what Karimdo and their people imagined.

They are gaining control of the academy at an astonishing speed.

The setup of the secret room is now complete.

Gu Xi then walked out of the secret room.

After closing the door to the secret room, Gu Xi handed Isabella the knife that could open it.

"This is the key to the secret room. From now on, you'll be in charge of guarding it."

Isabella took the knife and placed it in the Blood Holy Grail in her hand.

He then said to Gu Xi, "My lord, please rest assured, as long as I am alive, no outsider can enter the secret room."

Gu Xi was willing to believe Isabella's words.

He nodded to Isabella and was about to leave when Isabella asked again, "Sir, I have pretty good connections in the academy. Would you like me to introduce you to some people?"

"No need, I still have some influence among the undead."

Gu Xi still had some confidence in his Death Lord skill.

Within the academy, as long as Gu Xi doesn't encounter Naweiduo's subordinates, most of the undead are considered neutral forces.

As long as Gu Xi is willing to make the first move, most people can be won over.

"No, sir, I don't want to introduce those faculty members who became undead along with the academy when it disappeared."

They all had their own privileges, and even after becoming undead, they protected many students.

Given this situation, they would surely have a place in the new college.

But the person I'm introducing is different.

Mr. Gu should also know that I have spent many years in this college.

Many faculty members have died over the years.

They died for various reasons; some were taken from the academy after they died, while others were buried within the academy.

These deceased faculty members had no obligation to protect the students, yet they became undead because the academy disappeared and the Death Aura within the academy space surged.

If Mr. Gu is willing, I can introduce them to Mr. Gu.

These people might be able to help Mr. Gu secure more positions.

Hearing Isabella's words, Gu Xi couldn't help but ask a question.

How many of them are there?

"I don't know. Every year, many faculty members die. Who knows how many are buried deep within the academy? They are also ostracized by the regular faculty and there are conflicts between them, so I have no way of knowing how many there are."

However, I have their usual gathering place here.

After all, I didn't attack them; in fact, I helped them with some treatment, so they weren't on guard against me.

As Isabella spoke, she began to draw on the map.

Gu Xi glanced at the map and found that there were quite a few gathering points for these undead, but they were all in relatively remote areas.

It seems these spirits know they are unwelcome and are trying to make themselves less noticeable.
