Whispering Verse

Shade looked at the elective parchment with a sullen face, which was more like a price list. Based on his actual situation (city, occupation, age), the academy he joined and the core spiritual runes, the academy was open to him in the first grade. There are nearly two hundred elective courses, including "Inspiration Divination" and "Easy Obtaining the Four Elemental Spirit Runes", which are quite useful at first glance.

Some courses require completion of basic courses or elective courses before you can choose them, otherwise Shard will see more elective courses.

The cheaper courses cost more than 20 pounds, and the most expensive ones cannot even use currency, but use [relics] or other requirements and tasks as the fee.

Fortunately, you can choose elective courses at any time. When you come to the doctor every Saturday, if you want to pay, you can just contact the college directly.

Doctor Schneider suggested that Shade should familiarize himself with basic courses for a period of time before considering elective courses; the old priest recommended some more useful courses; Miss Louisa helped Shade cross out some of them directly, and she was in the first grade. At that time, because I had just received a large sum of royalties, I spent a lot of it on the course, so I knew what was not needed for the time being:

"You don't have to pass the elective courses. The college and professors don't care about this. But the elective courses are a good opportunity for those of us who are correspondence courses to get in touch with and get familiar with the professors in the college. You need to know whether some valuable elective courses are open. We still need to communicate with the professors. It’s about your own wishes.”

Miss Louisa then introduced that Shade was very familiar with this set of rules. Although it was slightly different from the past, he was very adaptable to such rules.

Read the list of elective courses in your hand and subconsciously turn to the opposite side when you reach the end. I thought there would be no words on the reverse side of the parchment, but I didn’t expect there to be:

[Mr. Shade Suellen Hamilton, the first-circle warlock:

Please prepare four wooden chairs in an empty room with no one at midnight today. They should not be decorated with holy symbols of gods. Place four chairs facing each other in the four directions of due east, due west, due south, and due north, and surround a non-sterling silver basin filled with clean water. You need to sit on a chair due north before midnight, light the roll of paper and put it into the basin of water.

Please dress formally, turn on the gas lights, close the curtains, and do not tell anyone, including fellow ring wizards, about this. Professor Harmes Sánchez from the School of Library Management and Professor Hessenger Garcia from the School of History want to see you.

St. Barons Comprehensive College-Student Management Office

Professor Harms Jane Sanchez]

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shade looking at the back of the parchment in a daze, Miss Louisa also looked at the back of the parchment:

"What's so cool about an empty page? Oh, I get it, you probably haven't used parchment before. Common sense is that we don't usually use parchment on both sides, so there won't be anything on the back."

Miss Louisa was perfectly positioned to see these words, but she showed that she saw nothing.

"Only I can see this? What does the academy mean? Is there a secret mission for me? If you talk to me alone, is my identity as a foreigner exposed?"

Shade thought to himself, wrote down the information, rerolled the parchment and put it on the sofa.

Because of Shade's [Time and Space] Core Spirit Rune, the History College promised to provide him with a [Secretkeeper-level] relic for self-defense after he joins. The relic only appeared after all the books and documents had been delivered, and after a note acknowledging receipt.

The upper limit of the items that poet-level relics can transfer is limited to [Keeper-level], and only some Keeper-level relics can be transferred. Therefore, it took a lot of effort to come to the School of History for Xia De.

The [Relic] was placed in a cubic rusty bronze box, less than the size of a palm. The patterns on the surface of the box depict incomprehensible vine-like patterns.

Under the bronze box is an instruction document describing the function of this [relic].

The relic is not given to Shad. If he leaves the School of History or breaks away from St. Byrons Comprehensive College, he will need to hand in this [relic] again, but it is not required if he graduates normally.

[You came into contact with ‘Whispers’. 】

According to common sense, Shade should not know immediately that this is a relic because he does not know the characteristics.

"[Twenty-sided dice of fate]?"

Shade did not shy away from others and directly opened the bronze box that looked like an antique. The inside of the box is almost solid metal, except for a bronze-colored dice embedded in the center.

The surface is stained with rust. It is a 20-sided die. The numbers are sunken into the metal surface of the die. The numbers are all golden, and some are almost integrated with the rust. This is a sign of time.

"I know this!"

Miss Louisa said in surprise, raising her hand as if to touch her earlobe, but she shook her head:

"No, it should be said that the 'other me' knows this. Maybe I accidentally scanned the information about this dice in the book... But why would the academy give you such a dangerous relic?"

"All relics are dangerous, the monstrous remains of the whispers of a bygone time."

Priest August reminded, but Miss Writer shook her head, her blond hair shaking slightly:

“This one is particularly dangerous because of its characteristics in two ways.

On the one hand, when carrying the dice, most divination will not work on the carrier, but only while carrying it. Carrying this dice for a long time will cause a permanent decline in one's own luck. I know luck is an immeasurable concept, but the [Whisper] element can really interfere with luck.

On the other hand, the dice is actively thrown. There is only one chance per day. When the dice is thrown, one thing related to the thrower will be determined by the size of the dice. The bigger the number, the better the luck, and there is no way. Use any tricks to determine random numbers. "

"Anything to do with the user?"

Dr. Schneider grasped the point. He was considered by others in the group to be often unlucky and therefore took special care of such relics.

"Yes, so usually after throwing it once, you won't know immediately which thing is affected, but you will definitely understand later. This is also one of the characteristics of the twenty-sided dice of fate."

The blond lady moved away from the bronze box in Shade's hand with some fear:

"But in most cases, it can only throw out numbers below 10 that favor bad luck. This is based on statistics. And it is said that if 1 is thrown, something more terrifying than death will happen. What about the History School? Would you hand something so horrific to a detective?”

The information given by the academy is similar to Miss Louisa's words. This dice can only be contained in the bronze box made of special materials, not in a contained state. The dice will always lure the holder to throw it out unintentionally, and the probability of throwing it is not average for each number, below 10 The greatest possibility of causing terrible things.

Therefore, Miss Louisa strongly suggested that Shade should not use the active effect of the dice and only treat it as a [relic] that interferes with divination.
