Whispering Poems

Chapter 1163 Priest Augustus and the Randall Valley

After the summer exam week six months ago, Shade went to the opera alone with Dorothy. At that time, he still called Dorothy "Miss Louisa".

But after the exam week this time, Xia De will go to St. Byrence to receive the medal, and he will go to St. Byrence himself.Although Xia De didn't know whether it was really necessary to go to the academy during the standard awarding process, he vaguely felt that it probably had something to do with Miss Dennist.

In short, although everyone's grades were somewhat unexpected, everyone passed the 1853 school year examination smoothly.

Dorothy was the first to leave after confirming that Shad was still going to St. Byrence in the evening. The 1853 Kingdom Literature Prize is about to be presented, and her father, Professor Louisa, is helping her "clear up the relationship" recently, so she has to go home often to see it.

Then Luvia also left. She needs to go back and write a report on her exam and year-end assessment to the Prophet Association, so that the Association can discuss with St. Byrence as soon as possible about her new year plan. Course selection and the choice of language of sublimation.

This kind of report even needs to be in duplicate, and mechanical typewriters cannot be used, and it must be completely handwritten.In addition to finding different people to stamp and sign, the purple-eyed girl will probably have to work for several days.

The doctor and the priest helped Xia De clean up the examination room. The old priest originally planned to ask Dr. Schneider to leave the page of the poem manuscript to Xia De so that he could contact the college. They had a drink together as usual in previous years, but Xia De stopped them :

"Priest, doctor, please wait a moment, I have something to say."

He looked outside and confirmed that the moon had risen, so he let the priest and the doctor stay in Room [-] temporarily, while he carried the cat to Room [-] next door.

After a while, Xia De came back with an arrow with a dark golden shiny arrow.Just looking at the arrow, you can tell that it is not simple. On the front and back of the arrow, there are strange patterns composed of three sunken circles, and five crystal grains of four blue and one gold are directly inlaid on the metal.The quaint sense of history and vicissitudes of time all illustrate its power.

And if you look at it carefully, you will have a wonderful feeling of dizziness, as if you have been reading for 24 hours before the exam week.At the same time, an inexplicable voice in my heart urged the person who saw the arrow to stab the arrow into his heart.

But fortunately, whether it is a priest or a doctor, the ability to resist negative spiritual influences is very good.

"Great thing I got recently."

Xia De also sat down on the sofa, motioning for the two to extend their hands.

The old priest who was cleaning his pipe and Dr. Schneider looked at each other, then rolled up their sleeves and stretched out their right hands.

The arrows were pierced into the palms of the two, and as the power of their respective elements fluctuated, the doctor just frowned slightly thoughtfully, as if he had acquired a new thaumaturgy.

Behind Priest Augustus, the life ring slowly emerged in the steam mist, and with the enrichment of the brass-colored enlightenment aura, a brand new second-ring spirit rune appeared.That is enlightenment - [Heart of Darkness].

"Oh, the spirit runes of the second ring are complete!"

Priest Augustus looked back at his life ring in surprise, a surprise smile appeared on the old man's face.Neither he nor Dr. Schneider asked Xia De what the arrow in his hand was.

"I also got a nice thaumaturgy."

The doctor nodded and said, also looking at the priest's life ring, he touched his chin:
"Priest, maybe you can prepare to enter the third grade at the end of this year. I remember that your second grade exam subjects seem to be all over."

"It's still one more. If this surprise had been a month earlier, I might have applied for an upgrade exam."

Having said that, the priest is still very happy:

"I thought it would take another year or two, but I didn't expect that there would be such a surprise. After a while, I will go to the library to borrow books for the third grade. It's good to read them in advance."

"It's really good. If you, priest, can reach the fourth ring before we set off for the extreme north, the journey might be easier."

Xia De also commented.

"Oh, Bill, Shad, I'm not your energetic young man."

The priest shook his head with a smile, and asked Xia De again:

"The exam week is over, do you have any plans recently? Winter is only halfway through, I don't think you should just stay at home and wait for the client to come to your door. This time, go to a new city again?"

When Priest Augustus was "rescued" in the fall, the rest of the group learned the secret of Shad's ability to travel to distant cities.

"Speaking of which, I'm going to Randall Valley in a while. Oh, it's the City of Spring in the south of Carson Rik."

Going to a strange city is for what "Luvia" said is the only time key leading to the [Past Life·Sixth Epoch], but it is necessary to find a way to establish the correct road signs, and Xia De also plans to take a rest for a while. In the winter of 1853, for the many tests of the keepers at both ends of time, he hardly stopped for a moment.

"I heard that the opera troupe in that city is very famous. The famous artist and female opera singer Miss Bernanis, who is well-known in the Old Continent, runs the [Golden Dawn] opera troupe there."

Dr. Schneider said with a smile, "Golden Dawn Opera Troupe" is the most famous opera troupe in the human world in this century.

"I went to Randall's Valley when I was young."

Priest Augustus continued to wipe his pipe. Seeing that both Shad and the doctor looked at him curiously, the old man said:
"Is it strange? When I was young, I was often sent on business trips by the church. To the Randall Valley, probably around 1835. At that time, I was only in my 30s, and I was younger than Bill now."

"So you are in Randall Valley City, do you have any friends? If so, I can visit them and see how they are doing."

Xia De said while stroking the cat, he was actually very interested in Priest Augustus' experience when he was young.When he was in Fort Midhill, he knew of a fruitless green love affair in the priest's youth.

"Oh my friend"

The old priest raised his head slightly:
"It's really hard to say. However, if you really have time, you can visit Father Murphys of the local Dawn Church. I owed him 10p in a bet, and I have never had a chance to pay it back. If you have the chance, you will represent me Give it back."

This is no problem, Xia De looked at Dr. Schneider in surprise.They were not surprised that the priest would bet with others, but that the old priest had kept the 10p for nearly 20 years.

The image of Reverend Augustus has become even taller in their eyes.

They didn't chat for too long. Priest Augustus stood up first, and the doctor also stood up and extended an invitation to Shad:
"What a surprise today. Detective, since you're not going to St. Byrence until eight o'clock in the evening, would you like to join us for a drink? I know you don't drink on weekdays, but this is for exams week." Successfully concluded."

After thinking about it, Xia De agreed to the invitation.Of course, cats are unwilling to go to the noisy environment of taverns, so Shade left it at home and prepared a sumptuous dinner.It can be seen that Miya is very satisfied with Shade's proper arrangement.

By the time Xia De returned home, it was already seven twenty in the evening.During the outing, the pages of poems in Doctor Schneider's pocket have given Shad the way to go to the academy again.

But this time it is no longer a dangerous relic [broken old world map], but a means of transportation, that is, a sage-level relic [Midnight’s Nightmare Carriage].

Before containment, this was a rather dangerous relic.It often appears at night, carrying guests to unknown and terrifying places.As for the divination of the missing persons, they would get answers that the Warlocks of the Central Ring could not even face.

There is reason to believe that [Midnight's Nightmare Carriage] has the ability to pass through most of the seals in an uncontained state. Therefore, in the early sixth era, the joint containment operation launched by the three major academies to study its space penetration characteristics has suffered a lot. times of setbacks.

Later, at the price of serious injury to a twelve-ring warlock, it was reluctantly sealed in St. Byrence Comprehensive College.The academy believes that this is a special magical item created by a certain evil god who has gone away to collect blood sacrifices for himself, or the so-called "artifact" in knight novels, but this conclusion has not been confirmed so far.

But what can be confirmed is that after [Midnight's Nightmare Carriage] is contained, that is, after the dangerous coachman is bound in a sterling silver coffin and mercury is poured into the coffin, the carriage itself can be used by mortals.

St. Byrence itself is a thaumaturgy academy known for storing relics. After more than 1000 years of attempts, it has gradually turned this relic into one of the most important means of transportation for the academy located in the extreme northern continent to communicate with the outside world.

With the power of the entire St. Byrence, the coachman was suppressed, and the alchemy puppet or summoner who was given the official faculty status of the "St. Byrence Comprehensive College" drove the carriage. In theory, the carriage can be driven through the various locations in the physical world.Of course, the carriage in a contained state loses the power to penetrate most spaces, and there are actually many taboos in using it.

For example, ring warlocks with the "unlucky traveler" spirit rune must never use this carriage under any circumstances.When Miss Daniste and other professors entered the civilized world from the academy, because they informed the church of the normal actions in advance, out of respect for the cooperative Founder Church, they used normal means of transportation.

But if the college has an occasion to send professors privately, this kind of relic can come in handy.

According to the official document sent by the academy, during this trip, Shad can bring pets, summoned objects, or other small lives with him, so Shad decided to take Mia to St. Byrence to have a look.

After returning home, he packed up the items he wanted to take with him, and then sat on the sofa and waited for the carriage to arrive.When the clock on the wall reached eight o'clock, the bell downstairs really rang.

"Mia, let's go."
