Whispering Verse

Since the meeting on Tuesday, Shade's experience in the past few days has been very exciting. To sum up, there are probably four things including the Dream Pen, Miss Carina's commission, the Sunshine Gun and the Rhodes Card.

Of course, he didn't need to talk about the incident of recovering the relic [Happy Dream Pen] with Miss Louisa. According to the agreement, he did not tell about the meeting again with Miss Carina and Miss Bayas's "sunshine gun", so he only shared the successful identification of Founder Silver Moon.

Everyone was happy for the young detective, but except for Miss Anat, few others did not understand the specialness of the "Foundation" series of cards, so they just regarded this as the detective possessing a very valuable treasure.

In the opinion of several others, the young detective was a pretty good guy who deserved a lot of money.

However, the elder Priest August warned Shade not to get into the habit of betting on Rhodes easily. He had seen countless stories related to Rhodes in the church, and there were countless gamblers confessing their sins in the confessional.

The old priest wiped his pipe and said uneasily:

"My Lord, Mr. Liming, told us that mortals must know how to restrain unnecessary desires, and gambling is one of them."

Regarding [Mercury Blood], everyone tacitly agreed not to mention much, but Shade believed that except for Priest August who really had nothing to do with the matter, everyone had their own plans.

Miss Louisa and Dr. Schneider are for the [Fake Philosopher's Stone], and Miss Anat is for Miss Bayas.

While Dr. Schneider was in bed, he also obtained some information through his own channels. In addition to what Miss Louisa mentioned, the blood of mercury was broken into pieces, he also mentioned that the church was preparing to launch a major operation against the cultists who believed in the "Lord of the Blood Feast".

And Miss Anat also got some news from the Prophet Association.

According to her, most cultists are abnormal, so they believe in the abnormal teachings of evil gods. For example, believers of [Lord of the Blood Feast] believe that becoming food on the evil god's table is the best way to be with the god.

The cultists still did not give up the idea of ​​letting the evil god descend. However, after the failure of the Lakeview Manor incident, they gave up directly calling the evil god himself to come to Tobesk. Instead, they prepared a mortal body for the evil god to descend. He came to this era in the form of a saint.

"Let me guess, the mortal body is Mr. Lawrence."

Shade said, Miss Anat looked at the detective in surprise:

"Can you guess this?"

Shade shook his head, and he just connected the clues in his hands:

"This is actually not surprising at all, otherwise it would be impossible to explain the reason why 'Ms. Lasoya' took such pains to contact him. Last time, the academy said that the ring was called [Metamorphosis Ring]. Although the relic did distort his preferences, to be honest, A greasy middle-aged man like Mr. Lawrence doesn’t look like he can attract women, especially since [Mercury Blood] is not short of money.”

He thought of Mrs. Lawrence who died tragically, pursed his lips and continued:

"Moreover, I recently got in touch with the Police Department due to a commission, and I heard about the Lawrence family. It is not difficult to guess that the kidnapped Mr. Lawrence is the body prepared for the evil god."

Mr. Lawrence's birth date, personality, age, stature and what is called a soul in the field of occultism all meet the conditions for becoming the body of the evil god. After artificially combining drugs to make him a bulimia patient, he became a candidate prepared by the [Mercury Blood] organization for the cultists.

Moreover, it is much easier to use the method of calling the saint to perform divine descent than directly calling the evil god himself, and the impact will be smaller. Therefore, the church has recently stepped up its investigation efforts to ensure that there will not be a second divine descending ceremony in the Tobesk area.

Shade, the doctor, Miss Louisa and Miss Anat provided information about the cultists, while Priest August provided information about the Orthodox Church.

"Next week, the Thirteen-ring Warlock 'Sunshine Sword' Mr. Hogg Rendell of the Church of the Sun will arrive in Tobesk Diocese. At that time, the Five Gods Church will conduct a joint operation to wipe out all the cultists, and then Slowly deal with the [Mercury Blood] scattered in the city.

"Is it that Lendl? I thought it was the 'Sun Crest'."

Miss Anat said, while Miss Louisa whispered to Shade that these two were contemporary Thirteen Ring Warlocks from the Church of the Sun. The former is famous for her divine art [Sunshine Great Sword], and the latter is a woman who is proficient in thaumaturgy and divine art based on the "Heraldry" system.

"The 'Sun Crest' recently went to the New World to deal with matters. It seems to be some relic related to the Sun God."

Priest Augustus was really well informed.

"So what about the original thirteen-ring warlock in Tobesk diocese? I remember he was called the 'Iron Right Hand'."

Shade also joined in the inquiry.

"I don't know much about this. The Church of Creation has blocked the news. But it is said that it is entangled in troubles. There have been out-of-control incidents of angel-level relics (level 1) in the towns around Tobesk. The Church of Creation has been busy with this recently. "

The priest shrugged, and seeing the surprise on Shade's face, he added:

"Although it can't be said that this kind of thing happens often, once every few years is considered a normal frequency. This world has never been peaceful."

After Miss Louisa shared about the containment incident of the "Happy Dream Pen", she and Shade talked about the battle with the fish-men last night. Others regretted that they did not get more clues about [Mercury Blood], but they did have many interesting opinions about that scale.

Since no one else had experienced anything worth mentioning this week, the topic somehow drifted to politics.

They jointly discussed the topic of the next successor of the Kingdom of Delarion, and believed that the current king had too many children, which would definitely lead to a succession war decades later. Miss Louisa has a very good opinion on this issue. She knows the secrets of the royal family very well.

Then the topic turned to the scenery of the United Kingdom of Kasenlik. The doctor talked about what he saw when he went to Kasenlik to attend academic conferences when he was young, and mentioned the seascape in the South; Miss Anat preferred the primitive scenery of Kasenlik. Forest, she believes that staying in that kind of environment for a long time is good for the skin; Miss Louisa has a special liking for the vineyards in the Southern Kingdom, and said that her biggest dream is to have a vineyard of her own.

As the conversation drifted to the winter exhibitions in Artek, the country's art capital, and then drifted to Princess Diana's ribbon-cutting ceremony next week, time finally arrived at the moment agreed upon by the professors at the academy.

The ritual that Shade once used at home is still used. When the ritual begins, the four chairs in the east, west, north and south must be occupied. This time Professor Roentgen from the Seminary of St. Barons and Professor Garcia from the School of History were coming, and the doctor could not leave the bed, so the two chairs were occupied by Miss Louisa and Miss Anat, who were senior students.

The doctor's bedroom was large, with closed curtains and a basin and chair on a round white embroidered carpet between the desk and the four-poster bed. When Shade, holding his pocket watch, announced that the time had come, the blond writer immediately lit the parchment and threw it into the basin.

Blue light spread across the water, and with the appearance of two beams of light, the transparent bodies of Professor Röntgen, who was somewhat fat and wearing a hairband, and Professor Garcia, who had somewhat pointed ears, appeared on the chair.

"Professor Roentgen, Professor Garcia."

The five people greeted each other respectfully, and the two professors smiled and nodded.

Hessenger Garcia, the deputy dean of the School of History, came specifically for Shade, so he said nothing after responding to the greetings.

Professor Roentgen coughed, picked up a piece of parchment from the air with his transparent palm, unfolded it and said:

"I won't say any more. Now let's read out the college's report on the Lakeview Manor incident. Ahem——

The investigation on the Sunshine Moon Lakeview Manor incident in 1853 in the Sixth Age has been completed. The School of Theology and the School of Mathematics sent two associate professors to the Tobesk area to check on-site where the incident occurred and verify your investigation report. "

Shade was a little nervous, after all, the problem in the report was huge. But he found that the August priest standing next to him and the two ladies facing the professors were not nervous at all, and he couldn't help but suspect that they often falsified reports.

"The investigation report is basically true, and some vague details are awaiting confirmation with the Orthodox Church."

Professor Roentgen said, looking at the five people on the bed, on the chairs, and standing, some of them looked like walruses with smiles on their faces:

"Gentlemen and ladies, I am very happy to see that you can appear in front of me safely after experiencing such an incident."

The doctor coughed quickly.

"Of course, regarding Bill Schneider's injury, the School of Chemistry has provided a batch of magic potions to heal the mental damage. But I must remind you, never use the word of sublimation easily. You may not be able to hold on next time."

When he said this, the professor looked at the doctor and his tone became a little serious. The doctor nodded weakly, but Shade felt that he was "weaker" now than before the professors appeared just now, and he was not at all as active as when he was debating economic topics with everyone just now.

"As for the reward of practical credits, I have already replied on Tuesday, so I will not go into details here. By the way, I would like to remind you, Miss Dorothy Louisa, your fourth grade practical credits have been completed. If you intend to take the upgrade assessment at the end of this year, Please be promoted to the fifth ring as soon as possible."

Miss Louisa smiled:

"Okay professor, I think this should be no problem. The words of sublimation based on the 'Match Girl' are ready. I plan to advance to the fifth ring in the autumn."

Professor Roentgen nodded:

"In addition, after the college's investigation and verification of the situation you faced at the time, it is believed that your group has made extraordinary and outstanding contributions. Therefore, in addition to the credit award, your group will be awarded a special contribution bonus within St. Barrons. ,1000 pounds."

Shade opened his eyes slightly and held his breath. Sure enough, St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, as a kind-hearted camp, will make exceptional rewards for the behavior of "saving the world".

Professor Roentgen knew that Shade was a newly enrolled ring wizard, so he gave a special explanation:

"This money can only be used to study as a magician, and can only be used for consumption expenses at St. Byrons College. It can be regarded as a limit of 1,000 pounds, valid for one year, and can only be used as a voucher at St. Byrons. .”

Shade knew the price of things in the college, so his excitement subsided slightly. Unexpectedly, the professor's eyes left him, looked at the other people, and warned:

"In principle, this money cannot be withdrawn, but I know you will play a lot of tricks. These are not under my control, but I want to warn you, remember not to go too far. If the college's end-of-year reconciliation does not match up, the accounting office will Helping people will cause trouble.”

Only then did Sha De realize that the few people here were not law-abiding guys.
