Whispering Verse

"Investigator" or "Time and Space Explorer" is not a special profession of St. Byrons Comprehensive College. The core spiritual runes are [time]-related concepts, or ring warlocks who have obtained [time]-related spiritual runes can pass the level. The relic [Time Key] that fluctuates from the poet level (level 5) to the angel level (level 1) travels through time and enters the time point before the sixth era to explore the past.

[Time Key] is a one-time relic, and different keys can be opened in different eras. All time keys are related to the fallen old god [Father of the Infinite Tree].

This is an extremely powerful old god who belongs to the good god camp. If you come into contact with relevant knowledge and traces, you have a chance to obtain the golden [Miracle] Spirit Rune. According to legends and records on some ancient stone tablets, the [Father of the Infinite Tree] fell in the chaotic era of the Fourth Age, but he integrated his body into the continuous infinite time and space with the help of his own concept of "infinity" to communicate with the past. and the future.

The [Time Key] is the [Relic] left by the fallen old god. Because the fallen old god exists in continuous time and space, the time jump that can be opened by borrowing his relic is not limited to the fall of the [Father of the Infinite Tree] The time point before the Quaternary Period.

But for some unknown reason, so far, no [Time Key] has been found that can go back to the past time of the Sixth Epoch. This is also an important topic for ring warlocks to study time.

In short, the doctor asked Shade to draw the two spiritual runes, and while conveying the news about Shade's core spiritual runes to the college, he briefly introduced the common sense in this area to him.

Spirit runes belong to the language of the past and are basically non-repetitive. Unless you have seen spiritual runes with the same meaning, you cannot make it up, so you can use this to prove that you are not lying.

But before Shade could ask questions such as "What about the stability of time?" and "Will there be a time paradox?", the college's reply actually came back:

"If Shad Suellen Hamilton is willing to join the History School, the History School is willing to list him as a key training target and provide him with a secret-keeper-level relic for self-defense after he joins the school."

"What's the meaning?"

Shade looked at the doctor.

"We attach great importance to your talent, but it still does not change your identity as a correspondence magician. The key training targets are that you do not have to complete more mandatory practical credit tasks, and it is cheaper to buy books in St. Byrons. As for the secret keeper Level (Level 3) relic…literally.”

The doctor shrugged:

"They are always like this. They are not stingy with talented people, but they will never break the rules."

"Then I should say yes?"

"Unless you have a reason to say no."

The writer answered simply. She picked up her blond hair on the temples:

"There's always some focus every year, but I guess there's no harm in that."

As a result, Shade successfully became a first-year correspondence magician in the history school affiliated with St. Byrons Comprehensive College.

To become a Ring Warlock, you need to be exposed to four elements, and to advance as a Ring Warlock, you also need four elements.

For each ring, at least one golden [Miracle], silver [Desecration], brass [Enlightenment] and black iron [Whisper] spiritual runes must be engraved on the life ring to accumulate enough spirits to complete the sublimation of the rings. .

There is an upper limit to the amount of spiritual accumulation at a certain level, so engraving four spiritual runes is no different from engraving four hundred spiritual runes and then sublimating it. Even engraving too many spiritual runes has its disadvantages, because the spiritual runes required for each level of advancement must be engraved at this level.

Under normal circumstances, the engraving of spiritual runes is not a simple matter. It is also very important to correctly balance the contradiction between the number of spiritual runes and one's own research on thaumaturgy and incantation.

Warlocks from rings one to four are called low-level warlocks, those from rings five to eight are middle-level, and those above nine are high-level warlocks.

This division is not because of numbers, but when the four-ring sublimation and the eight-ring sublimation are carried out, in addition to the necessary four spiritual runes, it is also required that among all sixteen spiritual runes at this stage, one for each ring is the same as the ring. The Warlock's own core runes form a concatenation of meanings known as the "Words of Ascension."

Among Dr. Schneider's group, only the fifth-circle doctor himself had completed four sublimations.

When he was promoted from the fourth ring to the fifth ring, he used the black iron whisper at the first ring - [Running], the silver blasphemy at the second ring - [Malice], the brass enlightenment at the third ring - [Hound], and the fourth ring at the fourth ring. The golden miracle - [Light], and its own core rune [Dream], construct a sublimation word that promotes the low level to the middle level——

[Hounds of light run through malicious dreams. 】

There are no restrictions on the types of runes for Word of Ascension, the doctor just happens to meet four.

And if you do not meet the conditions of the word of sublimation, you will never be promoted from the fourth ring to the fifth ring, or from the eighth ring to the ninth ring. And because the four spiritual runes used come from different fourth rings, there is no chance to make amends.

The choice of sublimation words can be based on past examples to form a [Sublimation Book] with thousands of records. Ring Warlocks look for examples based on their own core runes and prepare from the beginning of each stage, so each force regards its own [Tome of Ascension] as its most important secret.

In the three stages of low level, middle level and high level, you can use the same core spirit rune to connect the words of sublimation. Therefore, the large number of core spirit runes only means more options and does not have much impact on the difficulty of advancement.

And if you don't want to rely on the past experience of "Words of Sublimation", or if the core spiritual runes are really rare and there are no examples to refer to, then you can only try on your own. With luck, you can always meet the conditions for sublimation.

But Shade would have to wait half a year before he would be eligible to view Saint Byrons' Book of Ascension and determine the choice of the most important spiritual rune for his first ring. The academy is also worried about the reliability of the correspondence course magicians, and also wants to make sure that the correspondence students who become extraordinary will not regret it. Moreover, it is difficult to advance as a ring warlock, and half a year is not considered a waste.

Although there is no limit to the number of spiritual runes in each ring, obtaining spiritual runes is quite difficult. In addition to the compulsory credits obtained through study examinations and practical credits obtained through college tasks, college grade promotion also requires that one's own grade corresponds to the number of rings.

Therefore, it is quite normal to study for two or three years in a grade. If they cannot find the sublimation language spirit rune string planned for the fourth ring, people will still delay promotion even if they meet the conditions of the four spirit runes.

Of course, regarding the teaching materials, the basic courses for ring warlocks, the secret-keeper-level relics promised by the History School, and the investigator tasks of the History School, these will all be discussed after the college has sorted out Shad's teaching materials in three days.

At that time, not only will there be the syllabus and training plan given by the college, but all four people in the same group will also be present to give Xia De suggestions.

So after confirming that he would join the School of History, Dr. Schneider announced that Shade could leave.

"Leave now?"

A second ago, Shade was still remembering these common sense things, so he asked in surprise.

"What else do you want?"

The doctor also asked in surprise.

"I mean, since I joined the academy, I haven't..."

Miss Louisa, who is still a woman, understood what he meant:

"Mr. Hamilton, there is really only this in the admission process. I want to repeat what the doctor said, please remember that we are correspondence magicians, and we are not closely connected with the academy. We train ourselves, obtain knowledge from the academy, and the academy gives us practice Assignments to meet credit requirements. We only teach by correspondence.”

"Oh well."

Shade, who had been sitting for almost the whole afternoon, stood up, and the doctor and the writer also stood up to say goodbye to him. The latter has something to see the doctor today, so he can't leave yet.

When Shade almost arrived at the door of the room with the two of them, the doctor suddenly said again:

"Also, there are two taboos you need to remember. St. Lawrence Comprehensive College stipulates that all ring warlocks in this college are prohibited from setting foot on the New World. This is a college taboo. A common taboo for ring warlocks is that ring warlocks are prohibited from committing suicide.

If you set foot on a new continent, the academy will consider you to have voluntarily given up your student qualifications. If a ring warlock commits suicide, it will at least cause a crisis no less than that of a Keeper-level relic going out of control. "

The "New World" refers to the great geographical discoveries made fifty years ago. The land discovered outside the current "Old World" is somewhat similar to the great geographical discoveries of the previous world. But there are no humans in the New World, but the products are extremely rich.

"Why?"

Shade asked in confusion.

"We don't know the rules of the college. As for the prohibition of suicide..."

Miss Louisa looked at the doctor:

"The doctor thinks it may be related to the 'other me'. If we commit suicide, the other me may do something."

The doctor shrugged:

“That’s it for the time being, we haven’t encountered a ring warlock who committed suicide.

Xia De, remember to come over in three days, that is, at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning. In addition to the affairs of the college, you will also need to know about the regular study meetings within the group and our fixed academic year tasks. Oh, speaking of which, you can study your own spiritual runes in the past few days. I will lend you this notebook. "

Only then did he think of turning to the desk and taking out a black-covered notebook from the locked drawer and giving it to Shade. It looked quite old:

"As for the magic of developing spiritual runes, you can try it yourself first, but it may not go well after you have just gained strength. Your most important task in these three days is to rest. Taking up the role of a ring warlock is harmful to the soul and body. Three days You will spend the day in bed reading notes. You will probably sleep until noon tomorrow... See you in three days, remember you need to pay back 10 pounds within a month."

The farewell was a bit too sudden, but Shade knew that he had been interrupting for too long, so he sorted out his chaotic thoughts and said seriously:

"See you in three days, Dr. Schneider, Miss Louisa...thank you."

"No need to thank me, I just came here today to bear witness."

Miss Writer said, but she seemed to be in a good mood.

"There's no need to thank me, I said, I just want to find the fifth ring warlock for the team."

The blue-eyed doctor looked at Shade and answered very softly.
