Whispering Verse

After parting ways with the old priest, Shade found the three-story gray building of the taxi company's office three streets away based on the map. The main business here is to book carriage services in advance for important trips, but there are also carriages that can carry cargo.

Shade knew that it was best not to let ordinary people see his books, so he specifically asked the coachman if he would check the goods.

"We are a professional taxi company. Even if you are pulling a corpse, no, even if you are pulling a whole cart of corpses, as long as you don't leave any traces, it has nothing to do with us."

The middle-aged accountant who took the money from Xia De emphasized with drooping eyelids:

"We are very professional."

A carriage carrying goods is much cheaper than a carriage carrying people, even though it also has to carry Shade back. When Shade personally moved the books into his home at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square, he spent less than 8 shillings in total.

Although Room 2 on the second floor used to look very big, after moving in so many books, you can feel that the study space is not enough. While controlling Mia, the curious orange cat, from touching his books, Shade thought that if he had time, he must develop the remaining space in this house.

He didn't go out again that day. The exaggerated foggy weather outside the house made it unsuitable to go out, so he stayed at home and read the books he bought for 50 pounds, consuming gas and steam whose price was unknown.

Most of the first-year sorcerer's courses only involve knowledge, not transcendence, so most of them are memorization test subjects. As a foreigner who has experienced a complete education system, Xia De is very good at this and believes that he is confident that he will complete most of the first-grade courses during the exam season at the end of this year.

As for those courses that require practical operations, he maintains a great curiosity about strength and believes in his self-learning ability, so he thinks it will not take him too long to complete those courses.

Now that he has obtained the textbook, of course Shade is most concerned about [spells] and [thaumaturgy]. These two are the direct ways to obtain power. Although he kept the doctor's warning in mind, Shade still believed that he needed to have the most basic power to protect himself.

As a first-year ring wizard who has just entered the school, St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy did not directly mention too many thaumaturgy and magic in the two courses "Basic Course for Ring Warlocks - Thaumaturgy" and "Basic Course for Ring Warlocks - Conjuration". Spells, and a few of them are relatively common just by looking at their effects.

St. Byron's Comprehensive College provides first-year correspondence courses for ring magicians, offering three types of conjurations and four types of thaumaturgy free of charge.

There is a standard system for free [spells]. No matter which college students are from, the first spell they come into contact with is the same.

Among them, the first spells recommended to be learned and used are [ignition], [calling water] and [moving objects]. This is the most primitive manifestation of mysterious power since ancient times, and it has more superior [spells]. 】can be extended.

Moreover, the learning methods of these three spells do not require much materials, and they do not require casting materials when casting spells. They are the most convenient spells. Shade learned and mastered them in half a night -

"ha!"

His eyes were fixed on the newspaper in his hand. The newspaper finally emitted a wisp of burning smoke, frightening the orange kitten who was playing with the pages on the other side of the newspaper and ran towards Shade's arms.

"ha!"

He kept shaking the empty water glass with his right hand, and when he shook it, the inner wall of the water glass became wet. Shade wiped the sweat from his forehead and put the water glass back on the table, but before he could check it, the soft orange cat Mia in his arms pounced on the glass curiously.

"ha!"

He looked at the water glass with eyes that were about to bleed. The glass automatically moved back on the table. The orange cat that rushed towards the cup changed direction in the air, kicked off the table with its little paws, and jumped back into Shade's arms again, looking frightened again.

This is a timid cat, and its ferocity towards strangers is just a way to protect itself.

The [Thumborg] provided by St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy for first-year students is determined based on the core spiritual runes of the Ring Warlock.

Shade's talents are quite good. Although [Time and Space] and [Silver Moon] are rare, they are not exclusive. In the basic course - Thaumatology, the suggestion given by the academy is to prefer [Silver Moon]-related thaumaturgy. After all, for mystical scholars who are just getting started, [Time and Space] spiritual runes are both dangerous and complicated.

Therefore, among the four free thaumaturgy provided by the academy, the only thaumaturgy related to [Time and Space] is [Perception of Time], which gives Shade the ability to know where he is in time at any time.

Although this thaumaturgy may not sound very useful, it is quite troublesome to learn. As the basic thaumaturgy provided by the academy, the materials required for learning are naturally provided by the academy. Among them, the century-old pocket watch is easy to find, but the "four-leaf clock flower" is a unique plant. Although it is grown in a nursery in the School of Chemistry, the picking process is very troublesome, so Shade will not be able to get it from the doctor until next month.

As for the thaumaturgy related to [Silver Moon], the academy provides three items——

[Cindia's Silver Moon Gift], you can gain healing ability under the light of the silver moon, you can heal yourself and others. This is a magical technique that can only be learned and used by the holder of the [Silver Moon] Spirit Rune, and can only be used at night.

It can be seen from the naming method that this is a thaumaturgy developed by academic ring magicians, so the name is used as a prefix. If the [Silver Moon Lighting Technique] invented by Shade is strong enough, he can name it [Shadow's Silver Moon Lighting Technique].

[Illusion of Moon Shadow], on any night, use the power of moonlight to cast some simple illusions. Any holder of a spiritual rune related to the moon can learn this miraculous magic, but depending on the spiritual rune and the user, the illusion has slight differences, and it can only be used at night.

[Silver Moon Slash] pulls out a silver moonlight in the air to attack the enemy. It has a very good damage effect on enemies with enlightenment and blasphemy elements. This thaumaturgy can only be learned by the holders of [Silver Moon], but other holders of conceptual spirit runes of the moon, stars and even the sun also have similar thaumaturgy, but the effects are different.

This is the only offensive thaumaturgy among the three thaumaturgy.

There are three moons in the night sky of this world, silver, yellow and red. The three moons have different meanings in occultism. The red moon is related to flesh and blood and reproduction, the yellow moon is "moonlight" and "guide", and the silver moon is "guardian", "holy" and "mysterious". synonym for.

Therefore, the thaumaturgy associated with the concept of the Silver Moon is different from that of other moons. If Shade's spiritual rune was a higher-level concept like [Moon], he would actually be able to learn more thaumaturgy.

The three magic arts are also specially selected by the academy, focusing on treatment, illusion and attack. They can be said to be very comprehensive.

The learning materials are still given with the book, including the mercury-like liquid "Moonlight of the Silver Moon" in a large thumb glass bottle, a piece of silver silk cloth embroidered with an unknown old sacred emblem, and a A silver knife with only the blade broken off. The blade is engraved with a waxing moon.

But it is not possible to learn with the materials. Shade also needs to prepare the corresponding environment and master the corresponding spells. None of this can be solved in one day, so as of this night, he had only learned the [Silver Moon Slash].

The learning requirement for [Silver Moon Slash] only requires that the ring warlock be able to attach the moonlight of the silver moon to the broken silver knife, which is quite simple for the current Shade.

He repeated this process under the moonlight at night, and each time the moonlight attached to it, the knife became shorter. When the silver moonlight is attached to the 13th time, the broken blade in the light completely disappears. Shade looked at his slightly glowing hands and realized in his heart that he had learned this attacking magic technique.
