Whispering Verse

Of course, the thaumaturgy [Blade of Disrupted Time] also has shortcomings.

First, thaumaturgy itself does not enhance the power of an attack. If Shade's first attack hits the target but fails to break the defense, then the second attack will also fail to break the defense. Or facing an enemy who is extremely good at blocking, if the first attack is blocked, then the second attack within three seconds will most likely be blocked as well.

Secondly, time imparts power to the spell-casting medium in hand, so the use of thaumaturgy requires specific weapons with "sharp" properties. Ordinary alchemy items will be broken in about one time. As for the relic, the only relic that Shade can think of at the moment is the "cloth sword" in Miss Bayas's hand.

But he soon realized that the sword seemed to have no edge and did not meet the requirements of thaumaturgy.

[Relics] that can be used as weapons are usually extremely precious, and relics that can be used as cold weapons are even rarer. Therefore, even if Shade had a few hundred pounds in hand now, it would be better to spend the money on thaumaturgy or spells.

Thaumaturgy and incantation that can create sharp blades are relatively not uncommon. Of course, "Silver Moon Slash" does not meet the conditions. It is not a thaumaturgy that forms a weapon... And considering the combination with the "Blade of Disarrayed Time", Shade suddenly realized that [Witch's Carbon Paper] might send came in handy.

Next, use the second leaf, also placing the leaf in front of your right eye. This time, as the cold air flowed into his brain, the life ring behind Shade suddenly appeared automatically amidst the sound of bells and whistles, and then began to spin rapidly.

As the gush of steam heated up the room, a golden halo representing the miraculous element appeared on the life ring. The whole process lasted for at least five minutes. When the speed of the life ring slowed down, the golden halo gradually gathered on the surface of the ring, and finally condensed into a golden spiritual rune - [Echo].

"oh!"

Miss Bayas, who was holding the teacup in both hands, sighed softly. This scene was rare. The cat placed on Shade's lap looked up curiously at the life ring. The cat's amber eyes reflected those golden halos. And there seems to be a trace of the miraculous luster that is really engraved in the cat's eyes.

"Now, there are only four different spiritual runes left, and only the last [Whisper] is left."

Shade's expression was very excited. He casually placed two leaves on the coffee table in front of him and picked up the orange cat who wanted to play with the leaves.

Miss Louisa was also happy for Shade:

"It's really good. If you can get a chance to check the Book of Ascension on Saturday, then according to the current speed of almost one rune a week, you will be able to be promoted from the first level to the second level within one month of officially taking office. In recent hundreds of years , seems to have never exceeded this speed.”

"So regarding [Echo], Miss Louisa, what suggestions do you have?"

Shade asked for advice.

The female writer thought about it:

"Just like the doctor once said, the energy of the ring warlock is limited. Even if each ring has at least four runes, it is impossible to conduct detailed research on every spiritual rune. The usual approach is to determine As for my own system as a ring sorcerer, all the other irrelevant spiritual runes can be associated with a thaumaturgy. For example, my lower fourth ring focuses on the match girl, while the doctor focuses on the ability of the mind and dreams."

Miss Louisa looked at the young detective:

"Xia De, if you want me to give you advice, your core runes, whether they are [Silver Moon] or [Time and Space], have considerable potential. Even focused research on one of them is enough to support your entire rune. system."

She is right, the current [Silver Moon] alone has already demonstrated extremely powerful applications in attack, treatment, illusion, exorcism, etc. The [Time and Space] rune has unlimited potential, so Shade's system is actually a good choice. [Silver Moon] and [Time and Space] can go hand in hand.

"That makes sense. In other words, it is enough to learn a corresponding thaumaturgy for the [Echo] Spirit Rune?"

"You can actually learn neither one, or learn both. The meaning of learning one is to let you know what kind of power you have, and at the same time expand it beyond the core system to prevent you from facing problems that you cannot handle with the thaumaturgy you are good at. scene."

The female writer explained that since she said she wanted to be Xia De's teacher, she would not hide anything from Xia De. Besides, besides being able to study [The Little Match Girl], Miss Louisa really thinks it would be very interesting to teach people like Shade.

For example, what happened today is beyond the imagination of ordinary ring warlocks.

After confirming that the cat would not move around, Shade reached out and picked up the two leaves on the table. After thinking for a moment, he handed one piece to Miss Louisa.

The latter had anticipated what he wanted to do when he reached out to grab the leaves, but in order to show his reserve, he said nothing. It wasn't until Xia De handed over the leaf that he wanted to put down the teacup and refuse, but Xia De got there first:

"Miss Louisa, can you save it for me?"

"What?"

The blonde really wasn't expecting him to say that.

"I think the effects of [Eternal Youth Leaf] shouldn't be superimposed, so I can just bring a leaf myself."

He shook the emerald green leaf in his hand, and the cat's eyes looked around, as if he wanted to pounce on it and slap it. And it was during the shaking that Shade discovered that when the light was transmitted through the leaves, the veins on the surface actually connected into a string of vine-like words, which meant:

[The tree of immortality, the person of immortality. 】

"Since you can just carry one piece, wouldn't it be wasteful to hide the other piece?"

he asked.

"But you can exchange it for gold pounds."

Miss Louisa took the leaf from Shade's hand, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on her face.

"I just bought a new time key from Old John, and now I'm going to sell the [Eternal Youth Leaf]. Although the probability is very small, it will inevitably remind him of something."

There is no record stating that this thing will be given as a mission reward after the [Time Key] is opened. But since the conversation about "civilization" last week, Shade has always thought that John's father was a very magical old gentleman, so he might know this.

"Besides, I am not particularly short of money now, so you will keep this leaf for me for the time being. I will naturally get it back when I need it."

Miss Louisa looked at Shade, her face turned red, but she did not return the leaf to him:

"It looks like I took advantage of you."

"This is nothing, I'm not giving it to you."

Shade shook his head indifferently. Since he planned to follow Miss Louisa to improve on the elements of enlightenment, it would certainly be a good thing to get closer to each other a little bit. What's more, as he said, this was a loan, not a gift, and he lost nothing.

"Okay then, I will... keep it for you first. When you need it, come to me at any time. This Saturday, I think I should teach you something very practical. I am not taking advantage. People...have you made money again recently?"

The blonde girl asked curiously, grinding the leaves and stems with her right thumb and index finger.

"Of course, I got 300 pounds this morning, and once the lost children are found, there will be rewards for me... Oh, Miss Louisa, you probably don't know what happened yesterday. Look. Have you read the newspaper, the progress of the missing children case, and the assassination of Queen Diana..."

Shade described his magical experience yesterday in detail, and finally sighed, "The Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny" is indeed not something that can be used easily. The first time he used it, he directly saw the evil god. The second time he used it, he was shot in the dark:

"I no longer dare to manipulate fate at will."

What you didn't say in the street yesterday, you can say it freely in front of Miss Louisa today.

"Did you save m... Queen Diana?"

It was definitely not the title she wanted to blurt out. Shade looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't expect that Miss Louisa suddenly stood up, as if she wanted to give him a hug, but she quickly sat down again, her emotions completely out of control at that moment:

"Oh it's you."

When Xia De handed her the [Eternal Youth Leaf] just now, she was not so excited. The female writer put down the leaf in her hand, her face turned red, but she looked like she didn't know what to say.

It took a long time to return to normal:

"It would be great if Lesia was in Tobesk. With her here, as well as your boss and Miss Carina, we might be able to get you a better reward directly. Unfortunately, she only finished this week Kassenlick’s visit was by ship back home, and there was also a stay in Cold Water Port.”

Biting his lower lip, he looked at Shade with a hesitant expression:

"Detective, let me first thank you on Lesia's behalf. I think she will never pursue the burning of those pieces of paper with [Match Girl] written on it."

Looking at the performance of the blonde girl in front of him, Shade suddenly had a strange premonition:

"The relationship between Miss Louisa and Princess Lesia Cavendish is definitely more than just friends."

[Then what will it be? 】

She asked softly in her ear, while Miss Louisa opposite continued to express her gratitude on behalf of the distant princess:

"I don't know yet, but they are definitely not ordinary friends."

To express her gratitude, Miss Louisa treated Shade and Cat to lunch. It's not a restaurant outside, but a single girl who lives alone cooks. She believed that only in this way could she show her gratitude.

Shade didn't know whether to thank the leaf or Queen Diana.

Although there was no preparation in advance, Miss Louisa made a very good lunch with only the food at home. Although outsiders are still not accustomed to the eating habits of this world that resembles the Victorian era, they have to admit that Miss Louisa's cooking skills are very good.

Cats think so too.

After lunch, Miss Louisa still wanted to talk to Shade about yesterday's events. But Priest August made an appointment with Shade to meet at Dawn Church. Shade didn't want to miss the appointment, so he could only leave after lunch.

Miss Louisa sent Shade downstairs, and when she waved goodbye to him at the door, the beautiful girl's blond hair with a smile on her face seemed to be shining in the midsummer sun.

Under the street trees on the street, sunlight passes through the branches and leaves, leaving mottled shadows on the ground. The shadows tremble with the breeze, and the branches and leaves make a rustling sound.

Although the mist is hazy, midsummer is here in Tobesk.
