Whispering Poems

Chapter 2661: Sublimation of the Library
Before the apocalypse, Number One St. Teresa's Square belonged to an old man who also had a pet cat at home. Now, only half of the building near number six remains, and the yellow sand has left severe signs of wind erosion on the cut walls of the three-story building.

When Shade, who was holding his head and frowning, walked to the half wall, the evil creature with its back to the square left only one last sentence:

"Professor, I see true wisdom!"

With the penetrating wound as the center, its body turned into dust and fell on the corner of the wall where dead grass grew, and was quickly blown away by the wind.

"What happened just now? Why do I remember that I was learning to meow?"

Xia De still covered his head, and "she" laughed softly. He then used his left hand to pull out the long stick that was deeply nailed to the wall, and caught the card that appeared from the scattered dust:
"The professor he's talking about, isn't he Professor Manning?"

[Outsider, you have mastered the spell "Quick Reading". ]

[Outsider, you have mastered the spell "Reading and Writing". ]

[Outsider, you have mastered the spell "Memory Enhancement". ]

[Outsider, you have mastered the spell "Telepathy". ]

[Outsider, due to the effects of the spells "Fast Reading", "Reading and Writing", "Memory Enhancement", "Telepathy", "Library Search" and your "Language Proficiency", the magic-"Moon Library" is sublimated. ]

[You have mastered the magic - Moon Library: The original effect remains unchanged, and you gain all the effects of the spell "Library Search". When casting the spell, you are allowed to directly record the books you touch in the "Moon Library", and you can read the contents of the books at any time through magic. Corresponding to the "Silver Moon" and "Water of Wisdom" spirit runes. ]

"The thaumaturgy has been sublimated and a spell has been merged. Now two spirit runes are linked, but what does this have to do with my puzzle lock?"

[It's not about the puzzle, but about wisdom. 】

In other words, now the moment Shade touches any book, he can immediately obtain all the contents inside. This magic does not even need to worry about the unknown knowledge endangering Shade's mental health, because the library only "records" these books, and Shade needs to read them himself to know the knowledge in them.

"But where did these four spells come from? Does this evil creature also have the property of granting spells after being killed?"

[Fast Reading] and [Reading and Writing] are both relatively basic spells, and the spell effects are literal. Dorothy and Leicia are both ring wizards who are good at this, or in other words, all ring wizards who are committed to developing the "enlightenment" element will master these two spells.

[Telepathy] allows the caster to sense the target's general inner mood, but if the target's mental strength is very strong, he or she will also be able to sense this temptation; and if the caster's own mental strength is strong enough, he or she can even achieve "inner brain dialogue" through this spell.

Dr. Schneider is a ringmaster who is proficient in this kind of [telepathy], but because of the existence of his core spiritual rune [Light of the Soul], [telepathy] is actually a magic for him.

As for [Memory Enhancement], the effect of the spell is literally to enhance memory, but in the Sixth Age, few ring sorcerers would deliberately learn it.

The mastery of magic and spells will take up soul power, so there is actually an upper limit on the number of spells and magic that ring sorcerers can master. Therefore, for those who aspire to a higher ring, it is best not to learn low-level spells.

As for the profession of "Ring Warlock", because of the existence of "another self", even if others do not have such an exaggerated photographic memory as Shade, the most important thing is still memory.

"Are you OK?"

While Shade was thinking, Adele came over with a worried look. Shade shook his head and felt that the headache was easing:
"What happened just now? I seem to remember that I was imitating a cat's meow, and then I fought with it like I was playing, but I don't know what happened exactly. Is the mentally retarded aura so powerful?"

He was not completely unconscious just now, but he was managing his body as if he was dreaming, or it was also appropriate to say that he was sleepwalking. In those few short minutes, he did not think at all, but only acted on his instincts and "sudden whims", and he felt very happy.

Even now when I think about it, apart from the fear I feel, I still feel that that wonderful state was pretty good.

When Shade mentioned "meowing like a cat", the Demigod Witch's worried face suddenly showed a smile:
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, but what you just learned is really similar."

"How did I defeat the Prophet of Wisdom? What happened in the end?"

He asked again. Adele hesitated to speak. She originally wanted to hide the silver arm she saw, but when she supported Shade, she suddenly realized that there was no need to hide it. She had nothing left at this moment. If she lied to Shade because of her concerns, then she would really be "retarded":
"Let's talk about it back in the house. You said you were fine, but I saw that you looked very pale. Just now that evil creature tried to grab all your wisdom and knowledge from your body, and then a silver hand fought back against it, and then it went crazy."

She gestured to Shad to look at the square:
"Look at these piles of books. They flew out from it."

After that, she tensed up again, worried that an arm would extend from Xia De's body again and pierce through her chest. But in fact, nothing happened, and even Xia De was not surprised.

He understood where the four spells came from. This should be the result of his fight against the "Prophet of Wisdom":
"Silver arm. I roughly know it. Don't worry about it. So I was too careless. I thought I could defeat the enemy in the first few times and let my guard down. Ahem, ahem."

After all, he was injured in the previous battle. Coupled with the influence of the environment in the doomsday era, although this battle was won easily, it was definitely not without cost.

But thinking of the sublimation of magic, he stretched out his hand and let a book under his feet fly into his hand. He tried to record it with the sublimated "Moon Library", and was surprised to find that the spell failed. After opening the book, he found that it was all blank paper.

"The contents of these books will disappear with the death of the Wisdom Prophet. It is a crazy seeker of knowledge, but also the most greedy miser."

Adele explained softly, but Shad was more inclined to believe that this was Tree Father not wanting to give him a loophole.

But this time was at least better than the last time when he defeated "Prayer of Light" and Miss Brown fell into coma. The two of them returned to the second floor of No. 6 St. Teresa's Square, tidied up the dilapidated living room, lit the fireplace and sat down.

Fire brings warmth to people in any era. Nestled on the sofa in front of the fireplace, Adele first checked Shad's body, and then was naturally hugged by Shad, listening to him slowly telling her about the Battle of Moon Bay, the appearance of Miss Feliana after she left, and all the things that happened until Shad entered here again on the first day of the Dead Leaf Moon in 1854.

The witch listened very carefully, and the shadows that were clinging to the wall became entangled with each other without her noticing.

She kissed Shade's neck gently, then rested her head on his chest and continued to listen to his stories that were similar but better. When Shade finished, the blonde demigod with teardrop moles on the corners of her eyes had curled up in his arms like a puddle of water:
“Ms. Mana Filianna, in the stories we have experienced, the ladies from the past have never appeared. I can’t say too much about this, but if those ladies from the legends of the Fifth Age could really come to your time, it would be of great help to you.”

"You don't mean to say that they can compete with Luvia?"

Xia De was joking, but he didn't expect the girl in his arms to make a more exaggerated statement:
"Even if they attack together, they may not be able to defeat Annat in the final stage. Why are you so surprised? Luvia Annat can restart an entire era. You don't think that a few demigods can do this, right?"

"That's fine. I'm just too ignorant. But since you don't know much about Riverwood Town, is there anything else you want to tell me about those tree holes and paradox bugs?"

"I have many experiences of the Sixth Era in my mind now, but somehow I have never personally participated in the affairs of that city. Most of my knowledge about the tree hole comes from my understanding afterwards. The collapse of the tree hole caused a terrible disaster when Annat did not take action and others failed."

She hugged Xia De's neck, not thinking that they were too close at this moment. She was greedy for the moment and hoped that time could stop:
"The entire Vista Woods, centered on the town of Creekwood, was lost in time. The entire woodland disappeared, and then various evil creatures with the ability to travel through time from ancient times to the end of the world 'shattered' from that place and came to our time.

You can't imagine how terrible it was. The Five Gods Church and the three major colleges formed a coalition to block the place, but they paid a heavy price and failed completely after only two weeks of blocking. Then, those ancient and future evil creatures gradually disrupted the time stability of the material world while the rest of the chosen ones appeared one after another.

Although the last defenders left by the Tree Father sealed the forest, the material world also lost one-fifth of its effective area after the chaos. "

"So for safety's sake, I'd better get Luvia to Riverwood as soon as possible?"

Adele did not respond to this question. She would not give Shade any advice to avoid falling into the trap of Luvia, who knew her well:

"I actually have a method to deal with the [Speed ​​Spell], but the magic of that elf seems to be more effective. In addition, regarding the Tree Hole Association, this organization has never been taken seriously by the Orthodox Church, but believe me, Shade, they are definitely no less dangerous than the [Dragon Feast Cult]."

"They can also summon evil gods?"

In Shade's opinion, whether or not one can summon gods is the real criterion for determining whether the Ringwitch organization is dangerous, because gods are the only ones that mortals can never fight against.

PS: Thaumaturgy - Library of the Moon has now been moved from the entry under "Core Spirit Runes" to the entry under "Special". The following is the complete information of Thaumaturgy:

[Moon Library]: ① Transform your own memory into a book and manifest it as a semi-entity. The book cannot be separated from you. The degree of manifestation depends on the clarity of the memory itself. Only text and pictures can be manifested. (Effect after sublimation) ② When in a library, study, etc., you can directly obtain the required books by using fuzzy keywords; ③ Record the books you touch directly in the "Moon Library" and read the contents at any time through magic. Corresponding to the runes [Silver Moon] [Water of Wisdom].
