Whispering Verse

"Xia De, just passing the exam is not enough. I remember your practical credits are not enough either."

Miss Louisa reminded again, thinking about it carefully, she actually thought that it was really possible for Shade to be promoted to the second grade:

"If I remember correctly, the first grade requires 40 practical credits. You were given 10 points for time travel and 20 points for the Lakeview Manor incident, but there are still 10 points missing."

"no problem, no problem."

Shade is not bothered by this at all, although he cannot tell the college the truth about the death of the Silver Eyed Man and the incident with the evil god, nor can he give the [God's Gift Box] to the college, and the reward for the [Fake Philosopher's Stone] is The doctor's credit and his second time travel in 3002 of the Universal Calendar of the Fifth Era cannot be disclosed easily, but what he lacks most is the so-called accident.

He could definitely go find Iluna after she returns from the Holy See and stay with her for two days. He would definitely encounter something worthy of writing a report, and Iluna would definitely not mind giving him the credit. And even if this method doesn't work, you can still get practical credits by dedicating [Endless Mercury Bottle] directly to the academy.

"You can just think about it yourself."

Miss Louisa whispered, looking at Mia, who put the [Metamorphosis Ring] on her tail again:

"Huh? Why does this ring look so familiar?"

Only then did the blonde girl realize what she was seeing. She wasn't surprised when she heard that Shade wanted to be promoted to second grade, but now she was shocked:

"[Transformation Ring]? You robbed the church? No, it's not important. You want to become a woman? How can this be done?"

She even stood up and looked at Shade with wide eyes:

"what are you up to?"

"No, no, please relax. I don't want to become a woman at all. This ring is still related to Miss Carina."

Shade mentioned the name again.

"Oh, that damn woman! How could she give this to you!"

This was the first time Miss Louisa showed her unladylike side today. It seemed that Shade was right. She definitely had conflicts with Carina Cavendish.

They spent the entire afternoon studying in the living room and chatting about other things during their free time. As for today's course, since Shade has been promoted to the second level, this means that his second level Enlightening Spirit Rune still has a vacancy.

So far, "Crazy Light Chaser" has not had any effect, so Miss Louisa is very much looking forward to the fairy tale "Kiss of the Tree". Just like last week, under Miss Louisa's explanation, Shade read through those ancient pages again. While Miss Louisa sat down to rest, Shade was asked to copy the story.

Obtaining enlightenment from stories is not something that happens overnight. Only by patiently experiencing and comprehending stories can you gain the time, civilization, and power in the stories.

"Different versions of the story can derive different powers, so different ways of interpretation can also lead to different spiritual runes, spells and thaumaturgy obtained from the story."

Miss Louisa explained it to Shade very patiently, and also took out other prepared versions of "Kiss of the Tree" for Shade to read and analyze. By comparing different versions of the story, we can find out how the predecessors understood the story, which is very helpful for understanding the enlightening wisdom.

The different versions of "Tree Kiss" reminded Shade that he had obtained many very good books from the remains of the old order. Before sealing the ruins, the cult used special paper rolls and ink to copy down all the valuable things. Luvia, Shade and Iluna each took some.

Shade also shared those books with Miss Louisa, and then took out the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Fairy Tales of Delarion" bought from the charity auction from the study room.

The blonde female writer was very surprised by these books. After obtaining Shade's permission, she also selected a few books to borrow, planning to take them home and read them slowly. And the valuable "Encyclopedia of Ancient Delarion Fairy Tales" happens to also contain the story of "Kiss of the Tree".

It’s just that it’s different from the original version provided by Miss Louisa. At the end of the story in this old book, Princess Taweil does not end up being turned into a mummy and sealed in the trunk of an ancient tree. Instead, she steps through the door of the ancient tree and accepts With the power of the ancient tree, he became the guardian of that strange tree, and used that special power to punish his parents.

"This version of the story most likely appeared in the Fifth Age. At that time, there were many stories where the female protagonist would gain strength at the end of the story, instead of being like the earlier stories where the princess was just a vassal of the prince.

This is of course because the witches at that time had power. This tells us that studying the differences between different versions and stories can help us understand the characteristics of civilizations in different eras, and thus better understand the enlightening elements that are regarded as the light of civilization. . "

Miss Louisa said, Shade nodded, his view was more simple:

"Actually, fairy tales with this kind of ending are more suitable for children. Don't look at me like that. I'm not saying that the ending of the original version is not good, but it may leave nothing to the children. Treat me as if I didn't say anything."

He picked up little Mia who was taking a nap in Miss Louisa's reproachful eyes, and the orange cat made a dissatisfied "Woo~" sound from its throat.

"Shad, you almost lost the right to go to the opera with me next week."

The blonde said with a smile.

"Watching the opera next week?"

Shade was a little hesitant. He regarded this as some kind of invitation, but the relationship between the two did not seem to be at this level.

"Yes, look, I've got the ticket."

Miss Louisa dug out two steel-stamped tickets from her handbag and put them on the table:

"Next Saturday night, the first day after the curfew ends, starts at 7:30 and ends at 9:30. That scene happens to have a story related to "Tree Kiss", and I also have something to go to Maria. Organized by the Queen’s Opera House.”

As an elegant art, opera is an important part of entertainment and leisure for the upper class of this era. Tobesk, known as the Pearl of the North, has many large and small opera houses, and some of these irregular opera houses are said to provide illegal performances.

There are three more famous opera houses, the King of Delrayon Opera House, the Tobesk Grand Opera House and the Queen Mary Opera House that Miss Louisa mentioned now.

"I have to take an exam next Saturday, so it is necessary to relax the night after the exam, but our classes cannot be delayed because of this. Why not go to the opera together? It can also be regarded as the study content for next week. Xia De, I don't want to go ?"

Miss Louisa waved the ticket and asked hesitantly.
