Whispering Verse

"So after reading this book, do you feel like you have a headache?"

Dr. Schneider asked again.

"Is there any? Probably..."

He observed the expressions of the two people:

"Probably, I fell asleep after reading it."

Shade said hesitantly. In fact, he played with Mia for a while in the evening and lost some time. He stayed up too late while reading and couldn't hold on anymore, so he fell asleep. It is true that I have a headache, but most likely it is because I went to bed too late and was woken up too early in the morning by a hungry cat.

"This is normal. Reading these books with crazy knowledge will be affected. Even if the Ring Warlock has another self that blocks the direct power of knowledge, the Ring Warlock himself will still be affected. Shade, actually, you don't have to worry, Obtaining spiritual runes requires a process."

The doctor comforted him kindly. Shade closed his mouth and nodded, and asked in his heart:

"My spirit is strong, and you are still helping me block those influences."

[You are me, I am you, there is no difference. 】

At the study meeting, Shade could only understand half of what Dr. Schneider and Miss Louisa raised about the difficulties encountered in learning as ring warlocks.

Doctor Schneider recently participated in an elective course called "Aether Mechanics". The course itself is only open to warlocks above the fifth ring, but it does not teach power and only studies theory. The standard name of the course should be "The Mechanics of Spirit", which is the study of the interaction and interaction between spirit and matter that exist in idealism.

But Professor Rutherford, who teaches this course, likes the other name for spirit in the past era, which is "ether", so the course name is ether mechanics.

This course is extremely difficult to understand and is at the forefront of the Ringman's theoretical curriculum. Of course, the doctor was not interested in theoretical research, and he was not interested in the course itself. He just wanted to get acquainted with Professor Rutherford.

This professor from the School of History is quite powerful, and he has considerable attainments in the thaumaturgy of time and space. Shade will also be in contact with him in his senior year.

Dr. Schneider was almost completely unable to understand the content of the course. While doubting his own intelligence, he hoped to discuss "completely different theories of the spirit", "Hilbert's ether space" and "appearance changes" with Miss Louisa, who was a grade below him. Such topics, looking for new ideas.

Shade believed that Miss Louisa's blank expression at that time was very similar to his initial foray into the field of occult theory.

Compared to the doctor who overestimated his ability and took "Aether Mechanics" and fell into deep distress as a result, Miss Louisa's problem was much simpler.

She is preparing for the exam season in July and plans to complete her fourth year of non-practical courses. Therefore, recently I have even temporarily put aside my main business, that is, the writing of novels, and focused on reciting and understanding the theoretical knowledge.

The blond writer's biggest problem at the moment is ancient languages. Courses like Shad's are just introductory, but Miss Louisa is already applying them in practice.

She has already learned that the approximate content of the exam will be chosen from the book "The Four Elements of Chase: Wind and Fire". This book is written in the southern tribal language of the fourth season - Xiaweike language. The book itself is also inscribed with the element [Wind]. One of the occult books on [Fire].

Miss Louisa hoped that the doctor could help her with a preliminary translation of this thick book of more than one hundred pages, but the doctor just heard the title and immediately shook his head:

"I have studied more than a dozen ancient languages ​​and passed the exams with passing scores. Louisa, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help you."

He was obviously thinking of the scene when he was preparing for the ancient Chinese exam many years ago, and he was running away from the book in Miss Louisa's hand.

Shade, who was sitting aside, took advantage of the two people to argue about how to pass the exam. He stretched out his head and glanced at the old blue ink handwritten book that was opened to page 29.

He immediately understood the content of less than 200 runes on both sides, which roughly described the story of the anthropomorphic wind element traveling in the Abyss of Madness.

Feeling a slight pain in his temples, Shade looked away. Sure enough, he once again understood a language he didn't understand at all, but the power of language itself was hurting him.

"I think I can help you translate."

Shade said softly.

The so-called "golden finger" of a stranger in this world, that is, a special ability, apart from the woman with a nice laugh in his head, is the only one that can understand all languages. This ability is quite dangerous, because the older and more mysterious the language, the more dangerous it is. Not long ago, the loss of control of the poet-level relic [Dark Box] is a good example. Maybe one day Shade will be killed because he failed to translate it. Something to be translated, and his head exploded and he died.

But for the learning of ring magicians, this ability is quite useful. He considered hiding this from everyone, but obviously exposing part of the secret would give him more benefits.

"Xia De, do you understand?"

Dr. Schneider asked hesitantly. He had just leaned back on the sofa because he wanted to avoid the pen and paper handed over by Miss Louisa. Now he sat up straight and pointed at a rune on the page:

"What does it mean?"

"abyss."

Shade said, then looked at the doctor, and the doctor looked at the writer:

"Is the translation correct? I'm just passing the level, I can't understand these."

"Probably...right."

Miss Louisa, who didn’t even have a passing level, said:

"But how do you understand this?"

"I don't know either. Just now the [Time and Space] spirit rune suddenly flashed on the life ring...and then the 'other me' reminded me that I understand this language."

The doctor and the writer both showed expressions of realization:

"The moment you came into contact with the ancient language, the power of [time and space] guided you to obtain the knowledge of the past. It turns out that this is it."

They explained for Shade.

This is not nonsense, because spiritual runes do sometimes work on their own without being touched at all.

"Well, Mr. Hamilton, could you translate this book for me?"

Miss Louisa handed the pen and paper to Shade again:

"Two weeks, before mid-July, just a simple translation, no need to be very precise. On the one hand, it is for your mental health. I don't want to make the ring warlocks in the same group lose control because of my exam; on the other hand, if the exam I got a particularly good score, but I couldn’t answer the professor’s questions at all.”

She is very thoughtful.

"I think two weeks should be fine."

Shade nodded, and the blonde writer finally showed a relieved smile:

"I won't let you do it in vain. I can give you a rare spell [Frog's Leap]. This can give you stronger jumping ability in a short period of time, except that it requires disgusting frog legs as a spell. Apart from the materials, this has almost no shortcomings. This is a very rare spell, and when I contributed it to the school library, I received two practical credits at once."

Of course Shade didn't refuse.
