Whispering Verse

The two came to the second floor, which was also covered with dust. Instead of heading to the third floor, they looked towards the corridor. There are windows on one side of the corridor and a row of rooms on the other. The main building of the sanatorium has a row of concave characters, and now the two people are in the center of the long side.

The doctor said:

"Miracle, if you can engrave [miracle] spiritual runes, it must be golden spiritual runes. All [miracles] come from the stories and power of the gods. Remember, the five righteous gods are the only remaining good gods."

"Only what remains?"

Shade is very good at grasping the key points and understands the reason why he first came into contact with "miracles".

"Yes, there were many gods in the past era. If you join the academy, you will find this part in the basic courses of the seminary. But most of the powerful gods in the past have disappeared, maybe they fell, maybe they left, maybe they were sealed . But in short, there are only five good gods left here who are called righteous gods, and gods can interfere with the material world, not just a symbol. Don't think of them as powerful ring magicians, they are real high-dimensional existences. .....I hope you can understand what I mean."

Shade's mouth trembled, of course he understood.

"Most of the ring magicians of the True God Church specialize in [miracle] elements. But apart from the True God, the old gods of the past have left many traces in the world. If you come into contact with those traces and know the stories of the old gods, in the 'other me' With the help of others, you can also extract the [Miracle] Spirit Rune."

The doctor finally mentioned the "voice in the head" that is essential for ring warlocks.

"The voice in your head is actually another you. It is you who is not the real you, but it is you."

The doctor emphasized the concept again, and the woman's laughter came to Shade's mind again.

"This is the [Miracle] spirit rune I engraved when I was in the first ring."

Thick white fog appeared again behind the doctor, part of the brass wheel of destiny was exposed, and golden spiritual runes were revealed.

Shade also endured the pain in his temples and interpreted the rune, which meant [Mote Dust], which he had seen once before.

"The miracle left behind by the old god [God of Dust], also known as the [Earthly Serpent], is that I learned about his story through the academy, and therefore obtained the spiritual rune."

The golden light shone on the ground in front of them, and a series of footprints appeared in front of the two people:

"But I am not suitable for this miracle. I just developed such simple thaumaturgy. The power developed by the spiritual rune is called thaumaturgy, and the universal power of the ring magician is called thaumaturgy. This will be introduced in the course."

The two of them walked forward following the footprints, and it seemed that their target was on the second floor.

"But you have to remember that gods are dangerous. It's not that they are malicious towards humans, but that they themselves are too high-status. Contact with any information related to gods may cause oppression due to the nature of gods. And hurt yourself. Just like looking at the sun hurts your eyes."

The doctor reminded and added:

"Blasphemy, if you can engrave [blasphemy] spiritual runes, it must be silver spiritual runes. All [blasphemy] comes from those filthy concepts and evil gods. But remember, it is not the five righteous gods, nor the disappeared old gods. , but the old gods that existed.

In addition to the five powerful good gods, there are also a small number of evil gods who have survived from the old days. But these gods were relatively weak, terrible things born of concepts and blasphemy. They are truly gods, and they are gods recognized by the Orthodox Church. It's just that their power is far weaker than that of the True God.

This is not a boast of the Orthodox Church, but a fact. "

"In other words, the righteous gods are the powerful good gods that are recognized and exist, and the old gods are the good gods that have disappeared, the evil gods, and the existing evil gods. Are evil gods scary?"

Shade concluded.

"Of course it's scary. Although they are weaker than the five righteous gods, for ordinary people, even if they know their power, they will go crazy because of it. The main task of the church is to suppress the evil gods that occasionally appear and the evil gods that always appear. cultists. However, [blasphemy] spiritual runes are not excluded. In addition to evil gods, some knowledge of the Fourth Age can also extract [blasphemy]. Hidden books record those terrible stories. This is also the mainstream element for extracting [blasphemy]. way. [Miracle] and [blasphemy] are both related to God, and must be related to God.”

It is currently the Sixth Age, which is not recorded in any of the books that Shade has seen. The books and calendars only record the year. But Shade knew that this was the Sixth Age, and the voice in his head showed this for the first time.

This seems to once again illustrate the specialness of the other party.

"This is the Sixth Era, and the Fourth Era is the era of darkness and chaos. It is very scary, extremely scary..."

The doctor said softly, as if he was afraid of disturbing something. In the thick fog behind him, the silver spiritual rune flickered, still only revealing part of the life ring. Shade interpreted the beautiful rune as [emotion].

"[Emotion], a very powerful spiritual rune, originated from a terrible story in the Fourth Age. I still can't forget it... I used this element to develop a variety of thaumaturgy, the simplest of which is Exploring surrounding creatures with emotions.”

Silver light flashed on the brass life ring, and the doctor had the answer:

"Inside, he was scared and seemed to know that we were coming."

It is impossible for the enemy not to know that the doctor has no intention of hiding his voice.

"If the voice in your head keeps reminding you that there is [blasphemy] nearby, don't think about it, turn around and run immediately. This factor is very fatal."

The doctor continued to popularize basic knowledge and moved forward with Shade. Shade also understood why he only had "blasphemy" but no contact.

"Enlightenment, if you can engrave [Enlightenment] spiritual runes, it must be brass-colored spiritual runes. All [Enlightenment] comes from civilization itself. Yes, civilization, historical legends, religions and heroic stories, and even fictional knights Adventure novels, through certain media, can extract [enlightenment], which is an element of civilization and symbolizes the light of our world."

Although it is easy to say, it certainly cannot be done by reading knight novels.

And the fire that occurs when a stranger observes the world is precisely the reason why he comes into contact with the element of "enlightenment" at his doorstep.

"And it's not just our civilization, or even just human civilization, but also the civilizations of past eras. [Enlightenment] may coexist with [blasphemy] and [miracle]. After all, the history of civilization cannot be without the power of gods, and gods have also Not taking his eyes off civilization.”

In the thick fog behind the doctor, the corner of the life ring was revealed again, and the brass rune [Sweet Dream] was revealed:

"This is the spiritual rune [Sweet Dream]. It is not convenient to explain its origin for the time being. I am very compatible with it. Now I will use thaumaturgy to make the other person fall into a dream."

A little light shone out, and Shade couldn't see the specific effect, but he believed that the doctor wouldn't miss it.

They finally stopped moving forward and turned into an unmarked room. The room was clean but no one was seen.

The doctor calmly said:

"The last one is Whisper. If you can engrave the [Whisper] spiritual rune, it must be a black iron-colored spiritual rune. [Whisper] has a wide range of sources. The general view is that [Enlightenment] is the light of civilization, then [Whisper] is the world Darkness. Whispers are almost natural phenomena, echoing throughout the material world. Obtained through contact with the knowledge of evil gods and [relics]."

The detective died from a certain [relic], so Shade was able to access the "Whisper" element when he died.

The black iron rune was revealed, its meaning was [False Truth], and it was the most complex of the four spiritual runes displayed by the doctor.

"This spiritual rune was harvested a year ago when we solved the Secret Keeper level, which is the Level 3 [Relic] incident. I don't quite understand its power. It is currently mainly used to dispel illusions."

Under the light of the black iron runes, the clean room gradually revealed its true appearance. Newspapers and wooden boards sealed the wind-exposed windows, and the floor and walls seemed to be coated with a layer of plasma, emitting a foul smell. The floor is filled with glass containers containing human organs, scattered like an exhibition...

After the disguise disappeared, the smell of blood hit his face. Shade's stomach was churning, and he finally knew why the doctor deliberately refused to let him eat breakfast.

Enduring the intense discomfort and mental pressure, Shade's eyes swept across the room that almost turned blood red, and saw a young man sleeping soundly in the corner.

He doesn't look like a tramp, but like a student. His clothes are very clean, he looks elegant, and he is well-dressed. He was sitting there slumped with a pistol in one hand and a brass box in the other.

"Baide Moroder, 19 years old, a student at Lorax Mechanical College in Tobesk City. A year ago, after accidentally coming into contact with a level 5, that is, poet-level [relic], he was affected by the [whispers] in the relic. 】The influence of the elements caused him to fall into madness. As a result, his temperament changed drastically, and he gradually became a murderer who kidnapped and murdered young women... This world is, after all, too dangerous for ordinary people."

"So, what exactly is a [relic]?"

Shade controlled his fear of the scene and suppressed his desire to vomit. The doctor acted very calmly about this. I don't know whether he controlled his emotions well or was used to similar scenes. The two of them were at the door of the room, and no one had any intention of stepping in.

"[Relics] are remnants of the past, curses from the first five eras. Some are naturally formed, and some are created by powerful beings in the past.

Remember, [relics] can only be born in the first five eras. So far, there is no record of the birth of [relics] in the sixth era where we are. But if you can find out, maybe a whole school year of practical credits will be enough... [Relics] can be easily distinguished from other alchemical items. Only they can have the [Whisper] element attached to them, and there is no artificial The method can add the [Whisper] element to the item. "

The two of them looked at the metal box held in young Moroder's hand, which was the [Relic].
