Whispering Verse

Sitting on the chair in the north is a young lady wearing a black clerk's uniform, holding a writing pad and a pen in her hand. She looked a little younger than Shade, and nodded to the five people rather greenly:

"Hello, I am Ashley Simpson from the college secretariat. According to regulations, when college professors communicate with correspondence ring magicians in non-teaching situations, a secretary from the secretariat must record the conversation and archive it."

she introduced herself.

"Ms. Simpson is also a third-year student at the college and is doing an on-campus internship at the Secretariat for academic credit."

Professor Sanchez introduced, and then got to the point vigorously:

"Schneider, have you heard about Miss Myrna Feliana?"

"Yes, Professor, news has spread in the local black market, but the news is very confusing and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false."

Dr. Schneider, the team leader, replied.

"What's the news?"

asked the professor, and the Augustan priest handed the notebook to the doctor, who coughed;

"What is certain is that the high-circle sorceress who calls herself 'Mana Feliana' used large-scale thaumaturgy to drive away the relics in the forgotten area in the south of the city yesterday afternoon. Uncertain news said that the person with the academy The woman with the same name as the founder is Miss Feliana, the witch of the Fifth Age. In addition, there are rumors that Miss Feliana’s appearance is related to the meteor shower that lasted for more than an hour last night; she told the Righteous God Church last night She took action, causing the sacrifice of at least 12 ring warlocks from the Zhengshen Church; the thaumaturgy she used caused all ring warlocks within the envelope to turn into women; her appearance was caused by someone finding a golden cup and calling out Battle with the souls of the past”

"OK OK."

Before Dr. Schneider could tell even more outrageous news, Professor Sanchez stopped him:

"The ring magicians in your area are really imaginative. Regarding what happened yesterday afternoon, the academy will give you a document that will be burned after reading. You can check it yourself. This time the academy will review all the documents in the Tobesk area. The correspondence group of ring wizards will make sure that this matter has nothing to do with you."

"It's absolutely okay!"

Priest August said immediately.

"In this case, please tell us your itinerary from noon yesterday to eight o'clock at night. The college will check it later, so please don't lie."

Professor Sanchez said, and then motioned to Miss Simpson to record carefully:

"As compensation, after the inquiry, each correspondence course magician who participated in the inquiry will receive 5 practical points as a reward for helping the college investigate."

The huge reward of five points can also illustrate the determination of St. Byrons in the investigation of Miss Feliana's incident.

"I was at Dawn Church yesterday afternoon, and at least a few hundred people saw me. In the evening, I went out with Bishop Owen, Father Hoover, and Sister Matilda of this diocese to visit two children's welfare homes in the north of the city. The children. We returned to the church at about seven o’clock and haven’t gone out since.”

said the priest Augustus.

"Yesterday afternoon was supposed to be a group study meeting, but because some sensitive materials I ordered from other places arrived, I went to the local black market to pick up the goods in the afternoon and didn't go out until I returned at 6 pm."

Since the doctor dared to say this, he must have been prepared to cover it up.

"Yesterday afternoon I went to the Tobesk Third Mechanical Institute in the university district to listen to a lecture. A professor from the Kingdom of Kasenlik gave a report on popular literature. After the lecture, I went home to have dinner with my father and mother. In the evening Return to my rented apartment at seven o’clock.”

"Dorothy" said, it seems that Her Royal Highness the Princess knows "her" itinerary very well.

"I was in the Dark Realm yesterday afternoon."

Luvia said, pausing and looking at Professor Sanchez, who motioned for her to continue.

"Yesterday early in the morning, I accepted the association's task and went to the town to deliver a document to President Stan. I did not leave the town after that. When the scope of the relic expanded this morning, I moved with my companions, but unfortunately fell into a coma. Later, the relic was transferred to the church After taking control, I also woke up. At that time, the president was fighting the ring warlocks of the Truth Society. I left alone to find the team from the Zhengshen Church for help, but accidentally entered the space fracture zone. When I woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. , Duke Carina Cavendish’s servants discovered me, thinking I was a lost traveler near the manor.”

"Remember to write a report and hand it in."

Professor Sanchez said, but did not comment on Luvia’s experience. He would probably check with the Prophet Association afterwards.

"So Mr. Hamilton, what were you doing yesterday afternoon?"

He looked at Shade again, and Shade said what he had already discussed with Miss Carina:

"Yes yesterday"

He touched his nose quite embarrassedly:

"Lady Carina Cavendish called at my house alone at ten o'clock in the morning. Well, yes, alone, without any servants."

The secretary in charge of recording glanced at Shade, and "Dorothy" also looked at Shade.

"Well later"

Xia De hesitated to speak. He thought his acting skills were okay:

"She stayed at my place afterwards, and we were reading in the study room."

Professor Via Miral of the School of Astronomy coughed, causing Miss Simpson, who looked at Shade with a red face in surprise, not to forget to take notes because of surprise. valley

"About 9:30 pm, we took a carriage out of the city and headed to her manor. We were stopped by the church in the south of the city."

At that time, after Shade brought Tifa and Miss Carina together, the three of them did go into the city first and then out of the city. This was not a lie.

"I haven't gone out all day, and I don't know what happened yesterday afternoon. At about ten o'clock in the evening, I met Luvia at the Duke's manor, and then I learned that after so many things happened yesterday, I had been outside the city. manor."

Shade noticed that although Miss Simpson, a third-year student at the college, was lowering her head to take notes, she seemed to be secretly observing him.

"Oh, what happened yesterday was so terrible."

He did not forget to sigh at the end.

"Have you always kept the Keeper-level relic [The Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny] given to you by the History Institute on your body?"

Professor Sanchez waited until Shade finished speaking before asking, his eyes quite sharp.

"Yes."

Shade nodded, even if there were no dice, he was not afraid of being exposed. Although divination is very magical, divination is not as clear as a photo. The results of divination are often confusing and obscure. As long as he is not completely lying and has prepared some means in advance, he does not need to be afraid of divination.

Only the past detected by time-based abilities is almost 100% correct.

"OK."

Professor Sanchez nodded, then looked at Professor Mirar from the School of Astronomy:

"Next, Professor Miral will conduct a divination for you. The content of the divination is whether you have been contaminated by the power of the devil. What happened last night has a lot to do with the devil. The academy is worried that you have been infected by evil things without your knowledge. Contamination. This has the potential to lead to loss of control."

The phantom of Professor Miral took out a stack of cards from his pocket. A total of one hundred and eight pictures, nine in a row, with even backs floating upward in the air in front of her:

"Please choose one each. As long as it's not a divination card - the devil, it doesn't matter."

She said with a serious face, and then motioned to Dr. Schneider to choose first.

The doctor has not been discovered by the academy for so many years, so he does not panic this time:

"Left one one."

The cards are turned over, and there is a pattern representing "lucky man" on the card. No matter what the divination is, if you can draw this card, it must mean a good thing.

The blue-eyed doctor smiled:

"I just knew I'd been lucky."

Shade showed a strange expression, "Dorothy" looked at the ground, Luvia had a sullen face, and Priest August coughed violently. Seeing everyone looking at him, he said embarrassedly:

"Then I'll choose right ninety-one. Today is the first day of September."

The cards were turned over, and the pattern of tombstones on the cards represented "death", which was not a good sign.

The priest smiled to himself and did not make any comment.

"I choose the middle one, the side facing Professor Miral."

The blonde girl said, looking at the divining card expectantly. She had a normal schedule yesterday and was not worried about this divination at all. Divination performed by the college's professors is not something that is easy to come across.

After the phantom of the playing card was turned over, there was a red butterfly on the card. [Red Butterfly] has a rather complicated meaning in mysticism, but even Shade, who has the worst basic knowledge, knows that it must have nothing to do with the devil.

"Then I'll choose the one on the outside in the middle. I often do divination for others, but few people do divination for me."

Luvia said.

"Because it is more difficult to divination for people who have divination ability than to divination for other people."

Professor Miral explained that when the card was turned over, it revealed a broken ring. This is not the upper gap ring holy emblem of the righteous god [Mr. Dawn], which represents "broken destiny".

Shade almost immediately went to observe Luvia's expression, but her expression was normal:

"I didn't think I would turn over this card."

She whispered quietly.

"Then it's my turn. I'll choose the one in front of the professor."

After Xia De finished speaking, he asked in his heart:

"Guess, will the one I draw be 'Moon'?"

[I guess not. 】
