Whispering Verse

Chapter 2788 Textbook

Iluna cuddled up to Shade by the fire, which made the eighteen-year-old girl feel very at ease, and at the same time she felt a little happy:

"Xia De, these are just everyone's speculations, but this is the only thing we can do here.

It is not easy to explore this castle that is mostly submerged in water. Our progress is very slow. At present, we have only inspected the third, fourth and fifth floors of the building on the water, and then discovered these. "

While the werewolf girl was distributing food and clean drinking water to everyone, Shade checked the four girls' current harvest. They were not stone tablets or magical props engraved with important clues, but four rectangular stone slabs the size of letter paper.

Although the materials of the four stone slabs are slightly different, they feel very similar to the touch. The white and gray color can easily remind people of the luminous ashes floating in the sky.

“Speaking of which, are those ashes an environmental hazard?”

Shade suddenly asked. The werewolf girl who had just wiped the apple on her skirt and was about to open her mouth quickly took the red apple away from her mouth. Her ears also stood up slightly. She looked at Shade's face in the firelight. :

"Miss Wilder said that although those ashes exist in entities, they are essentially a space-time phenomenon."

The green dragon girl who was elegantly controlling the pots and pans brought by Shade and preparing to cook nodded:

"I have never been exposed to such a weird space. I only heard my teacher talk about similar situations before. This space is not only a time chaos, but its own disordered time flow is also accelerating the decay and collapse of everything in it. .

To put it simply, those ashes represent the collapse of time. Although the impact on those of us who are time-resistant living people is not significant, it is obvious that the collapse of this castle is strongly related to it. I recommend that you do not come into contact with those things for a long time. ash. "

The green dragon girl has beautiful emerald-like eyes, and she seems to be gifted with time as well:

"Although I haven't been taught like secret records here, I have gained a lot from just these ashes. It is difficult to find other places where I can come into contact with this strange phenomenon. I want to use this to develop a method based on The secret of time collapse, this trip is not in vain!"

Probably because of the strength of her race, she was in the best mental state among the four girls present. And I don’t know if it was the fourth son of the dragon’s blessing that “all mortal dragons will know your nobility”. Although she was vigilant just now, her words were not different from Sha De’s:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Hamilton, are you a dragonborn? I smell the scent of a dragon on you. What kind of dragon are you?"

"Don't ask my friend like this, Miss Wilder, Shade is human!"

Iluna immediately hugged Shade's arm and said, and the green dragon girl cast a suspicious look.

Four small stone slabs, all of which are blank on one side and have text and patterns on the other. However, the contents of the four stone slabs are different. The four girls had evidently inspected them and were not paying attention to what Shade was doing with them.

The green dragon girl and Miss Metz were busy cooking on the bonfire. With the food, everyone wanted to eat hot food. The green dragon girl even made black tea; after the werewolf girl finished eating the red apple, she went to continue Arrange the supplies that Shade took out.

Iluna originally didn't want to move, but seeing that everyone was busy working, she was too embarrassed to just lean on Shade, so she took the initiative to help Miss Bister pack her things.

The hot chicken rice was ready in five minutes, and with the sauce brought by Sha De, the smell even made Sha De, who had just eaten breakfast, feel the aroma.

Because Xia De was here, no matter how hungry the girls were, they would sit by the fire and eat their meals very reservedly, so Xia De asked again:

"Have you read all four books?"

"Book?"

Four pairs of eyes looked at Shade from the heat:

"What book? Wait, you mean, these four stone tablets are books?"

Miss Metz, who was the first to come here, asked in surprise. Shade nodded:

"Of course. I know some secrets from the First Age. At that time, in order to preserve precious books for a longer time, they usually used some techniques to make the books like this. These stone slabs were actually covers.

I have been fortunate enough to come into contact with the precious documents of the First Age, and the feeling is that no, no, I don’t have to put down my job. I mean the manufacturing technology of these books is consistent with those ancient books. These four books themselves are definitely not products of the First Age. "

Because they did not trigger Shad's thaumaturgy "Ancient Sound", and the knowledge about ancient books came from the Gaddis Library in the Valley of Death more than 600 years ago, when Shad came into contact with the "Yager Scroll" and "Book of Unnamed Sacrifice" (Chapter 722).

"I remembered, you mentioned this before."

Iluna, who was huddled next to Shade with her rice bowl in hand, said:

"It seems like you have to read the names on the books to open the books."

"Yes."

After seeking the opinions of the four girls, Shade read out the words on the four stone tablets:

"The first one is "The Wolf of the Ancestral Spirits", then "The Glorious Sun" and "The Blessing of Books", and finally "The Making of Delicious Black Tea and Desserts"?"

As he finished speaking, the four stone slabs placed by Shade in front of the fire glowed simultaneously. After waiting for a while, the warm firelight illuminated the four rolls of parchment. Judging from the weight, each parchment contained a lot of content.

The four books were all ordinary items. They flew up as Shad raised his hand. Seeing that the girls holding their bowls were still looking at him, he made a small deduction:

"Assuming that these four books correspond to the four of you who came in the school uniforms, then "The Ancestral Wolf" is obviously related to Miss Bister."

The first parchment flew to the werewolf, and the second one flew to Iluna:

"The Shining Sun belongs to Iluna, and then the Blessing of Books."

The name is not very recognizable. Shad has seen Luvia use this magic in the Randall Valley before (Chapter 1320), which is a defensive magic.

While hesitating, the human witch Miss Metz whispered:

"This should be related to me. I am proficient in the secrets of knowledge and inheritance."

So when the third parchment flew to her, everyone looked at the green dragon girl, who also realized something and said with her neck tilted:

"Making black tea and snacks delicious is of course a great ability. Don't look down on this ability. A capable girl should have her own secret recipe for black tea and snacks."

She said something that no one understood, but at least Shade knew that the green dragon girl would not be disappointed with this knowledge.

"So, are we here for this?"

They didn't rush to look through these books but continued to eat. Iluna expressed her doubts at the right time:

"After we learn the contents of these books, can we leave here?"

"It shouldn't be that simple. This is a so-called college, not a library. I still stick to my point of view. We need to find a teacher and have a class environment to complete the course."

The green dragon girl said, and everyone else agreed with her. If these four books can be considered as "textbooks", then they are undoubtedly one step closer to achieving their goal.

"We may be able to leave in this way, but what about this gentleman? He doesn't have a school uniform, how can he leave here?"

The werewolf girl was still concerned about this, but Shade signaled that she didn't need to worry:

"I came here in a different way from you, and I left in a different way. But are you sure you haven't seen anyone else here, teacher?"

The task given by the tree father indicated that the "Lord of the Black Robe" should be nearby. But since Iluna and the other four said that he was not, then maybe the first thing Shade needs to do this time is to find that god.

Although the girls' exploration of the surrounding area was not sufficient, there were at least some clues left for Shade to investigate. That was mentioned by Miss Bist, the werewolf. In fact, she is the witch with the highest level here. Although she is only at the eleventh level, she can be called a true genius in terms of age:

"There is a passage leading to the first floor on the second floor of this building that is flooded. This is also the only passage leading to the first floor we have found so far. The outdoor waters are very dangerous, and we basically don't enter. The indoor waters are better.

But the passage on the second floor is very narrow and cannot be easily expanded. Miss Metz said there is a risk of collapsing the entire building. The four of us are not able to pass through there, and space movement is prohibited underwater. The material of this castle itself strictly prohibits penetrating walls and turning stones into mud."

She gestured while eating:

"But after I turned into a wolf, I could barely get through that hole, but Miss Metz couldn't explain what was in the water below, so I was forbidden to do so alone. We never explore alone."

Shad then became excited:

"I am also proficient in Transfiguration. I can turn into a cat and go with you to have a look."

After saying that, he stood up directly. Although he unexpectedly met Iluna on this journey, he obviously couldn't waste time easily:

"Ms. Bister, take me to have a look. If possible, the two of us will go to the first floor to investigate the clues now. You finish your meal first, and we will set off after you are full."

"No, no, we can go now, please wait for me."

She put all the food in the bowl into her mouth at once. The girl with wolf ears puffed up her cheeks like a hamster and chewed a few times, then swallowed all the food with a gulp:

"Okay, let's go now."

"I will go with you too. Although I can't go down to the first floor, I can wait for you at the entrance of the passage in the water."

The green dragon girl put down the bowl of rice, and Iluna certainly wouldn't stay:

"I will follow you too, otherwise you will have to stay in the water on the second floor. Miss Metz, then I'll ask you to stay and take care of the luggage and the bonfire, we will be back soon."
