Whispering Poems

Chapter 1369 Honorary Degree in History

"But I'm going to see you every Monday"

The elf girl said hurriedly, but Xia De shook his head:
"No, you don't have to come see us on Monday."

He was really worried that the immature girl in front of him would encounter an accident:

"I asked you to help me find the secret room in St. Byrence, just remember to look for it. Wait until spring, the things here are over, and we can meet again. Winter has come to an end, and spring is not far away. At that time, if We haven't left yet, we can go around the city together."

As he spoke, he took out his notebook, on which were poems he had written in advance:

"These are enough for you to learn for a while. When spring comes, I can teach you more ancient elf runes. After all, although phonetic symbols can help you learn to read, you still have to hear the correct pronunciation with your own ears in order to learn more. precise."

The elf girl was clutching the notebook, looking at Xia De with blue eyes, and she also knew that Xia De was worried about her:
"I see, then you and that lady should also be careful."

As he spoke, he began to rummage through his pockets, and finally found some amulets made by himself, and some unicorn hairs in small glass tubes:
"These are left to you, please be careful. Then we will see you in the spring, please be careful."

She stood up and was about to leave, Xia De also stood up, and the unicorn rubbed the back of Xia De's hand with some reluctance.

Xia De was by the campfire, watching the elf girl clumsily climbed onto the back of the unicorn.She sat sideways, grabbed the hair on the back of the little beast, and said again:
"Then we will see you in the spring. May the World Tree bless you and wish you all the best."

Xia De smiled and nodded. After touching the top of the little beast's head, the unicorn carried the elf girl into the dark forest:
"See you in spring!"

【In the end, you still didn't ask how she got here from the academy. 】

"She" said softly.

Xia De looked down at the small bottle of unicorn hair in his hand, thinking about what accessories to make for Rezia and Dorothy:
"If she wanted to, she would have just said so. But that's fine, I don't have time to explore St. Byrence these days."

He turned to face the bonfire, and the movement of lowering his head made the shadows attach to his face.

【However, you are not planning to use that passage, go】

"There will be a way. Besides, my guess may not be correct."

Shad whispered to the campfire.

He extinguished the flames with a wave of his hand, and untied the reins tied to the tree.Xia De stroked the horse's head, then turned on the horse neatly:
"Call for Big Snowball."

Snowballs fell from the sky and landed on the extinguished bonfire.Xia De pulled the rein, and the maroon horse galloped towards the forest in the dark night.

"The story of Randall Valley has come to the second half. Demons, crazy land, ancient families, and ancient secrets. I have to concentrate on dealing with these things. I will have time to enjoy them when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming." Life. May the earth be with you and me."

(The unicorn is running.)

Considering that all day on Thursday, he would not be able to return to Tobesk because he was going to visit the Temple of the Night again, so at the dining table this morning, Shade, who was sitting at the dining table with a newspaper, met with Dorothy in the kitchen. said:

"I'm taking Mia to the Randall Valley today, so I don't need to trouble you to take it. I remember, don't you still have to participate in the writers' reading salon today?"

"It's not troublesome to take Mia with you, but it's fine if you want to take it for a walk in the suburbs."

said the blond girl in the apron, transferring the scrambled eggs from the pan to the plate and bringing them to the table:
"But it should be very cold outside the city, so be careful not to let it catch a cold."

"I know, the cat probably won't want to get out of my clothes for a day."

Shade put down the newspaper, got up and untied the apron for Dorothy from behind her:

"You don't have to worry about me, my actions in Randall Valley are safe."

"I'm still waiting to hear the big news from Randall Valley."

The blonde girl said with a smile, then took the newspaper and pointed to the news on the upper right page of the fifth page of lace news:

"is that you?"

This morning, in the "Tobesque Morning Post", a small section was used to publish the lace news of the distant Randall Valley, that is, Miss Vanessa Benanis was photographed secretly dating a strange man.

Shard had seen the news this morning, but it was a surprise that Dorothy could find it by holding the paper.

"I heard the news yesterday when I went to the "Steam Bird Daily" newspaper office to help my father deliver documents."

She looked at the photo, only Xia De's side face was photographed in the photo, and there was a subtle difference between that face and Xia De:
"Miss Vanessa Benanis, I remember being at least ten years older than me, right? When she became famous, I was still a little girl at home, and I used to wonder if I could become someone like her."

She put down the newspaper:

"Your means are really powerful."

Xia De concealed his embarrassment by feeding the cat with his head down, and the blonde writer shook her head:

"I don't mind what you do. This is something that Luvia should have a headache about. Oh, speaking of it, my father said that the matter of the honorary degree he obtained for you has already made progress.

Around spring, St. York College of Letters will award a batch of honorary degrees.You know, it's mostly for local celebrities, to forge college social connections.Father is very concerned about your affairs. He originally wanted to write to you, but I said that I happened to come to you to get information, so he asked me to tell you about it.After all, when this kind of thing falls into writing, everyone will be worried. "

"How much sponsorship fee do you need?"

Xia De asked curiously, and Dorothy shook her head slightly:
"It doesn't matter. Rezia has already given me the check. When I get home in the afternoon, I will ask my mother to give it to my father. Don't worry, it is a bearer check, and Rezia's name will not appear."

"But how can this kind of money make"

"So, do you want Galina to carry it for you?"

Obviously he asked Xia De with a smile, but Xia De somehow felt a little gloomy.His intuition gave him the answer, Xia De immediately shook his head:
"Okay then. Oh, I've got the unicorn hair, what accessories would you like?"

As he spoke, he picked up a small piece of egg with a fork, and this time the smile on the blonde girl's face was not gloomy at all:

"You got it! Give it to me, and I'll make it into an accessory! I bet, if you put it in your hand, you might make something weird like a 'unicorn hair wrapped ring'."

"Dorothy, don't you despise me too much?"

Miss Writer smiled and did not give an answer, but extended her fork to Xia De, and Xia De stretched out his head to eat the egg:
"I'll bring it to you after breakfast. Speaking of which, in the end, Professor Louisa, what degree did you get for me? Literature? Linguistics? Or political science? When we discussed last time, he mentioned that it was most likely these three. "

Not all subjects award honorary degrees, and in the Outlander's classification of subjects, those leaning towards the liberal arts are the majority of subjects that award honorary degrees.

"Neither, there are very few honorary doctorates in literature at St. York College of Letters this year, and they are all given to members who won the Kingdom Literature Award this year. The honorary doctorate in linguistics is suspended this year due to the infighting of the De La Rion Degree Committee. .As for political science."

Dorothy shook her head slightly:
"There is an unwritten rule that the first-class local college in Tobesk can only award honorary doctorates in political science to retired politicians, such as your neighbor, Mr. Smith, the former Secretary of the Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom. If it is a year with a large balance It’s still possible, but St York only got two spots this year.”

Every year, the total number of honorary degrees awarded by De La Rion's higher education institutes is determined by the Kingdom's Academic Degrees Committee, and then the various colleges "show their talents" to compete for the number of places.

"So, what Professor Louisa reserved for me is..."

"History."

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief:
"It's a good thing it's not folklore."

"What are you talking about, where have you heard of an honorary doctorate in folklore?"

The blond girl asked amusedly, peeling the egg in her hand, while Mia lay on the table watching the smoke from the food in her hand.

"But my father asked me to tell you that even if it is an honorary degree, you can't just give it with money. There is still more than a month before the spring degree award season. He asked you to find your own way. It is best to publish a few articles about article. It doesn’t have to be too professional, as long as you have research on your behalf.”

This is not a problem. Old John’s Guiding Light Priory is mostly members of institutions of higher learning. For example, the Mr. Madison who first contacted Shade was an administrative staff working as a secretary in the University Federation ( Chapter 375).

"You don't have to worry about this, I've already discussed it with Professor Manning."

Dorothy continued:

"Professor Manning knows that we are ring warlocks, so I told him that you have received some cultural relics and materials from friends in Randall Valley some time ago. You can find some things from Randall Valley some time ago. Send it to the professor, and the professor will be able to help you prepare a good paper. He will be the corresponding author, under the name of Tiris Manning, and all relevant professional journals in the Kingdom will not reject your submission."

"So, you and Rezia have already arranged everything for me?"

This made Xia De a little embarrassed, but the blonde writer enjoyed this feeling:

"Look, Luvia is not the only one who can help you."

She reached out and touched Mia lying between her and Xia De. Mia squirmed uncomfortably, and continued to stare at the steaming breakfast on the table.It's not like the cat didn't have breakfast. It had already eaten its hot goat's milk and other meals while Shade was waiting for Miss Writer to cook.
