Whispering Verse

He still met with Shade in that clinic. Compared with "that lady" on the third floor of the club last night, Shade had a higher degree of trust in the doctor, so he told the whole story of what happened last night. He didn't think so. Any details need to be concealed.

Of course, this also includes the matter of the [Dark Box], but Shade blurred the conditions for the box to be contained and out of control.

When the doctor first heard that Shade encountered a relic out of control, he stood up in surprise and paced around the room. Halfway through, when Shade mentioned the sage-level [relic], he stood there and covered his forehead; when When he heard the crazy thoughts of the "Silver Eyed One", he even groaned unabashedly:

"What a madman. I used to know that [Mercury Blood] was in the New World, trying to use the unique minerals there to make gold, but I didn't expect that it actually came to Tobesk."

He was very satisfied with Shade's performance in facing the [Dark Box], but he didn't think [Silver Moon's Light Technique] was of much value. There were too many such magic tricks. Although the light technique described by Shade is a bit too bright, it is not too unique.

As for Shade's behavior of trading the statue with the remnants of the old god to others, the doctor thought he did the right thing. She didn’t even care much about the possibility that a woman might learn about the five-person correspondence group through Shade:

"There are actually many people who know about our existence. Otherwise, how can we exchange materials and knowledge with others, and how can we find talented people for help? Do we have to cover our faces every time? As long as it is not the Zhengshen Church, the other party is willing to work with you. Such a low-level warlock deal means that she is very friendly.”

As for the speculation about the woman's identity, the doctor couldn't think of who it might be, but he also believed that the other party's ring wizard level was very high, otherwise there would be no reason to discover Shade in that way, and he knew the specific information about the sage-level relics.

"Anyway, this is a good thing. You got a rare spell and a very good [relic] without risking your life. I think this should be considered lucky. This world is not safe, not It’s such luck every time.”

The doctor finally concluded the matter.

"Is this considered lucky?"

Shade asked, but after thinking about it this seemed really lucky.

Possessing the remnants of the evil god statue of the old god, although Shade can only gain knowledge through the first contact, its actual value is definitely much greater than that clerical-level ring. But if you add in the free information and knowledge, as well as Shade's actions that unintentionally caused the [Dark Box] to get out of control, there is no problem with this transaction becoming a "fair trade".

More importantly, "that lady" is so much better than Shade.

The doctor doesn't care much about "that lady" in the club. After all, this is the capital of the Northern Kingdom of the Old Continent, and any kind of ring warlock may pop up. He cares about [Mercury Blood]:

"In fact, the academy has recently released a mission related to the [Mercury Blood] organization, and I am even preparing to participate... It seems that I still need to consider it, Sage level..."

The doctor murmured to himself, then raised his eyes to look at Shade:

"Xia De, overall you handled this matter quite well. You were not in danger, and you handled the transaction with the unknown ring warlock properly, and provided the team with precious information. You are already a beginner. This is you What life in the future will look like.

But this information is quite useful, maybe I should give you some reward. There is no need to refuse. Although the five of us belong to the same group and will most likely cross the northern ice cap together in the future, there are some things that need to be settled clearly. Ordinary information can be shared freely, but this time it is about this kind of thing..."

He thought for a while:

"How about four pounds, and each of the other four people will give you a pound. The news is probably worth that much."

Such important inside information would certainly cost more than four pounds if sold on the black market.

But sharing within a group of five people is impossible at that price. The four pounds is not a return of benefits to Shade, but a recognition of his contribution to the group. There is of course an essential difference between the two, which means that the relationship between the five people is not a pure exchange of benefits.

"Four pounds, that's equivalent to bringing little Franklin back from the club eight more times, and it's equivalent to one more orange cat Mia."

Xia De calculated in his mind that these three relationships were equal. He was not greedy for more, so he smiled at the doctor:

"Of course, that's good. But doctor, I didn't tell Mrs. Lasoya's information last night. Will this matter have any impact?"

He then took this opportunity to ask for advice. Dr. Schneider shook his head:

"Since the other party didn't ask, you don't have the right to tell. But don't contact the lady you mentioned again. She is probably a member of [Mercury Blood]. However, I haven't heard that they have the [Relic] of gender transformation. I think it was also prepared for the synthesis formula of [Mercury Blood], and the academy bounty order was more difficult than I thought."

The doctor frowned:

"In short, you should not have any contact with anything related to [Mercury Blood].

I'll probably do something in the near future, but I'm a five-ring warlock, and you're not. [Mercury Blood] are a group of lunatics who always think they can create legendary angel-level relics, but how is this possible? "

"That's right. If angel-level [relics] could appear randomly, then the world would be crazy."

Shade also said so, and he really thought so.

The blue-eyed doctor seemed to have had some experience with the group, but wasn't going to share it with Shade, so he changed the subject:

"Xia De, your task now is to learn more about common sense of life and start your detective career. Get in touch with the ordinary world more. Wait until you are promoted to the second ring, or have enough power, and then consider participating in Tobes. In the shadow of the city. This crazy world will always be crazier than you think."

"So doctor, does the academy always hide critical information from us like this?"

Shade took the opportunity to ask, but the doctor shook his head unexpectedly:

"Don't think too harshly of St. Barons Comprehensive College. They usually share the right intelligence with us at the right time."

"When is the right time?"

Shade asked again, and then saw Dr. Schneider leaning back slightly on the single sofa:

"Then only they themselves know."

After leaving Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic, except for hearing at noon that an unexpected gas explosion had occurred in the alley opposite the Silver Parrot Milk Company last night, nothing worthy of Shade's memory happened that day.

No illegal organization came to his door, no generous client rang the bell downstairs, no acquaintance of Sparrow Hamilton came to him, but Shade's research at home alone actually paid off.

He is still completely unable to activate any power of [Time and Space], but for [Silver Moon], probably due to the breakthrough use on the third floor of the club, now in addition to the light spell, Shade can already make the light of [Silver Moon] adhere to it. on external objects.

In one of the most successful attempts, he made the orange cat "Little Mia", who was gradually getting closer to him, shine with light for ten seconds.

Such an action scared the cat so much that it ran around the house and even climbed up to the third floor of the apartment through a broken staircase.

It took Shade a long time to call the escaped cat back, and he therefore speculated whether the detective had hidden his gun in the enclosed first floor, the inaccessible third floor, or the unoccupied room 2 on the second floor.

Unfortunately, he did not have enough tools in his hands to investigate these three locations. But exploring these locations has also been included in Shade's schedule. After all, he must confirm that the house he lives in is absolutely safe.
