Messer made his way to the courtyard after he picked up the sun dial and and a nocturnal from the Professor Roslund's office. Both devices was kinda heavy so he made sure that he didn't bump into someone and broke them. Today weather was really clear. He could see the sun shining, its the prefect timing to try out the sun dial and the nocturnal.

He decided to test the sun dial first then the nocturnal, so he put the nocturnal and off to find a flat surface in the courtyard. He remembered his daddy said that the flatter the surface on which your sundial is placed, the more accurate will be your sundial's time. When Messer found the perfect surface, he placed the sun dial. He looked at the sun and position his sundial where it will receive the most direct sunlight during that day.
