Whispering Verse

"Shad Hamilton, detective."

Shade also took the initiative to introduce himself when shaking hands.

"Bill has already told me about you. Being able to join is both your luck and our luck."

The old man said happily. At this time, Shade saw the champagne in the ice bucket on the coffee table, which should have been prepared by Dr. Schneider, because the financial situation of Priest Augustus seemed to be only better than Shade.

Priest Rat Augustus is a second-level sorcerer in this group. He became a correspondence-level sorcerer three years ago.

He was not a local who grew up in Tobesk City, but came from a small town in the south of the Kingdom of Delarian. Influenced by his family, the old priest has believed in the righteous God [Mr. Dawn] since he was a boy. He passed the examination of Dawn Seminary in Tobesk in his youth. At the age of 23, he joined the Dawn Church in Tobesk City and has never married since. All contribute to the church.

Although it took 30 years, Priest Augustus did not take any further step away from his identity as a priest due to various reasons. But no one doubts his piety. The old priest has a very high prestige in the church of this diocese. He is very trusted by the clergy and believers in the church of Dawn Church. Even the archbishop of a large diocese like Tobesk diocese will give a speech in a certain place. Ask him for his opinion on some important issues.

Due to the awkward relationship between the Correspondence Ring Warlock and the Orthodox Church, Shade will often need to hide his identity in front of the Church in the future. Priest Augustus is the best person in the group to settle church affairs because he has connections with the Zhengshen Church.

Although the Ring Warlock's talent is not very good due to his old age, he must not be left out of the five-person team.

As proof of mutual trust, Priest August and Shade also showed each other their respective life rings. The priest also belongs to the extraordinary situation among ordinary situations, but instead of having three like Miss Louisa, there is only one core spirit rune [Glimmer].

The identity and core runes of Priest Augustus are in line with the requirements of the "theological school" of St. Byrons Comprehensive College. But the priest did not join the seminary. He is now a member of the chemistry faculty and is proficient in the cultivation and picking of herbs and the preparation of potions.

In a group of five people, Xia De now knew one more person. Among the remaining two people who have not arrived, Dorothy Louisa, a writer from the Folklore Institute, will probably take some time to come. Another three-ring warlock, Luvia Anat, cannot come today. Some things are not in Tobesk city for the time being.

"Miss Anat is actually different from us. Strictly speaking, she is a ring warlock who belongs to the [Prophet Association]. Anat wrote a letter and asked us to say hello to you. She will not be back until next month, but in fact she has not It’s only a few days, next week.”

The doctor continued to introduce the group's situation and indicated that Shade, who had finished shaking hands, could find a place to sit down wherever he wanted.

"Since she is also in our group, isn't that lady a correspondence student from St. Byrons?"

Shade asked doubtfully, choosing to sit opposite Dr. Schneider.

Although Priest August had a church background, he received adult education from the college, so he could be regarded as a correspondence student at St. Byrons. This Miss Anat was completely different.

"No, she is also a correspondence student of the college. She belongs to the School of Astronomy and is proficient in the art of divination. As for why she has a dual identity, do you know about 'joint training'?"

The doctor asked. Shade was just confused when he heard the lady's information, but now he is truly surprised, confirming again that the force he joined is really a school.

"She still belongs to the [Prophet Society], but she has been trained in both directions. In fact, St. Byrons Comprehensive College, and many friendly organizations, including Zarath School of Literature and Sussex Higher Medical School, but not Churches all have such joint training of students, as you will know later.

But there is no need to think anything of Anat because of her identity, just treat her as an ordinary companion. Need tea? I drank some good black tea at your place last time, and I asked the maid to buy some. "

The doctor asked, and Shade thought for a while:

"Okay, thank you... So, Miss Luvia Anat is actually the same as us?"

"There is still a difference."

Priest Augustus was playing with his old pipe as he spoke. Of course he would not smoke in the clinic. This was just a habitual action:

"In addition to Miss Anat being able to gain knowledge at the academy, the [Prophet Association] can also provide her with conveniences. She is very highly regarded by the ring magicians of the [Prophet Association]. So relatively speaking... "

The priest glanced at the doctor. The doctor shook his head indifferently and signaled to the gray-haired old priest that he could continue:

"Although she is only in the third level and is only one level higher than me in the group, even the doctor is not sure that she can beat her without a head-on confrontation. Of course, this also has the abilities of Schneider and Louisa, so it is not suitable for a head-on fight. Reasons to fight.”

Priest August believes that although ring wizards have power, this profession is for studying the world and exploring themselves deeply, not for killing. In the old man's opinion, ring wizards are more like scholars than mercenaries.

He had a similar idea to the doctor. After becoming a correspondence magician, he should not indulge his heart just because he gained power, but should be more modest and cautious.

In other words, the two of them were gently reminding Xia De to be careful when doing things and not to get involved in things he shouldn't be involved in. Reading patiently, carving spiritual runes to accumulate spiritual energy, reading the notes of predecessors, and learning more thaumaturgy and incantation are the correct living conditions for a correspondence magician.

Shade therefore suspected that the doctor had told Priest August about what happened to him the day before yesterday. Priest August was worried that Shade would suddenly gain power through the remnants of the old gods and be eager to gain more power through similar adventures, so he said this.

Priest Augustus is also a very nice man.

"Speaking of which, I'm actually quite curious about one thing."

Since the relationship between ring warlocks and fighting and killing was mentioned, Shade asked:

"Since the ring warlock collects elements himself, and even has spiritual runes engraved on the elements. Then by killing the ring warlock, can he obtain the opponent's power, such as spiritual runes, dissipated elements, or turn the opponent's elements into artifacts? Something like that.”

"Oh, that's a horrible idea."

The gray-haired old priest shook his head, held the holy symbol on his chest and prayed with his eyes closed. The doctor shook his head seriously, looking at Shade with his blue eyes:

"Shad, I don't know where you got such a terrible idea. But if you kill a ring warlock who has nothing to do with you, all you can get is the body of the other person, and the guilt that will accompany you throughout your life.

From Delrayon to Carsonlik, from the Old World to the New World, from steam-industrial cities like ours to dark country cemeteries. Ring warlocks can appear almost anywhere, but remember, this is a time of civilization, not a dark forest where the jungle can prey on the strong. If someone attacks you, you can fight back, but don't kill for pure gain, as this will make it easier for you to lose control. "

Shade also understood that what he said was inappropriate, and he was only so curious because of the fantasy stories he had read in the past. The foreigner doesn't want to gain power by killing people at all, he is just worried that others will do this:

"Sorry, actually I'm just curious. Yes, such a world is too scary... It's like people can live by eating people."

Priest Augustus, who was holding the Holy Emblem tightly, looked at Shad. His eyes were not as harsh as the doctor's, and the wrinkled eyes showed a gentle meaning:

"Although our world is so weird and terrifying, with countless evil things entrenched, relics of the past era can be seen everywhere, dangerous and mysterious knowledge challenges the limits of normal people's reason at any time, evil gods walk on the ground and peer into the world, old and new. There are behemoths of the abyss hidden under the oceans of the continent, but we are still happy for the existence of the world. Come, gentlemen, respect this kind world."

The old priest said he was moved and took the initiative to raise the tea cup in front of him. The doctor nodded happily and raised the cup, while Shade smiled. No matter how bad his situation was after arriving here, it was as if the world was compensating him by sending him such good friends:

"To this kind world."

The three of them spoke loudly together, and the stranger's smile at this moment came from the bottom of his heart.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open. The blond writer who walked in without knocking did not hear the previous conversation. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw three men holding teacups high. One had a sacred face, one had a serious face, and one had a mouth. With a smile.

Miss Louisa looked at the men hesitantly, wondering whether she should withdraw:

"What were you...doing just now?"
