The magic of time and future vision sounds quite amazing, but it is too dangerous for him, a ring, and the benefits are not proportional to the risks:
"I want to hear about the remaining two."
Shad was cautious.
"The second magic is the echo of the past. You can randomly hear sounds that occurred in a certain area within 24 hours. The time it can be extended and the clarity it can have still depend on your level and understanding of the runes. The time you hear it depends entirely on luck."
"Randomly heard?"
"Yes, but the thaumaturgy itself has been improved, and the probability of hearing human voices when using it is very high. In other words, if a certain area only has one human voice in 24 hours, then there is a high probability that you will hear this voice directly."
Professor Garcia explained, and then added:
"Because it is easier to look into the past than into the future, even if you are a first-level person, you can still use this magic to great effect. It is much more useful than divination, because the results obtained from divination are not so clear."
Professor Garcia seemed to have some opinions about the School of Astronomy, which reminded Shade of the prophecy about "blood" brought by Professor Sanchez during their last meeting. Now it seemed that whether it was the Rhodes card or the blood-staying card, the prophecy was extremely accurate.
"Is this magic harmful to hearing?"
Shade asked.
"You can look at the catalog in your hand, which has detailed information. The answer is that it is harmless as long as it is not left on for a long time. So, even if you don't get lucky the first time, you can try it many times."
Shade nodded again. This magic is quite good. It is useful for detective work and the adventures of ring wizards. It's just a pity that it is not a damaging ability and relies too much on luck.
"But what do I need so many damaging abilities for? Silver Moon Slash is more than enough for now, and the Father of the Infinite Tree quest also rewards a magical skill."
He said silently in his heart.
"There is one last item, Laleg's jump. The effect is very simple, a space jump."
Professor Garcia said it lightly, but Xia De suddenly became excited. This is really good.
But the professor shook his head and told him not to get excited:
"The material world is relatively safe, but the cracks between space and time are almost everywhere full of danger. This is why time and space abilities are more dangerous than other magic. Raleg's jump can only be used by the holder of the rune of space or upward extension. No matter who uses it, they can only move within a range of 10 feet (about 3.04 meters) and must have direct line of sight to the target location."
“That’s not bad.”
A smile appeared on Shad's face.
"Using thaumaturgy consumes a lot of energy, and in order to avoid attracting strange things, the user must strictly abide by the rule that it can only be used once per hour. This ability was not originally available to correspondence ring sorcerers. This time, the two rewards are combined. I helped you to get it to appear in your catalog."
Although it's dangerous to repeat this, Professor Garcia obviously recommends this because he makes little effort to disguise his attitude towards future vision.
So actually Xia De doesn't need to choose, the answer is right in front of him.
But he still pretended to think about it for a while before making an expression that showed he had made a major decision:
"Professor Garcia, I think the echoes of the past and the jumps of Raglan are more suitable for me."
Professor Garcia smiled and nodded:
"Just as I thought. In addition, your time perception thaumaturgy learning materials are also ready."
He pointed to the page of poetry manuscript belonging to the doctor on the table. After a flash of light, a large number of glass bottles containing various medicines and materials appeared.
The learning materials for time perception are a century-old pocket watch and a specimen of a rare plant called the "four-leaf clock flower". The latter is only found in the New World, and the appearance of its stamens changes strictly over time.
Xia De learned the magic on the spot, and pressed the clock flower specimen on his left chest and the pocket watch on his right chest. He closed his eyes and listened to the ticking of the hands for a moment, and the antique pocket watch corroded quickly, and the specimen turned into a handful of black ash.
From then on, the pocket watch became a decorative item for Xia De, and he no longer had to touch the pocket watch at the bedside as soon as he woke up.
The learning materials for Echoes of the Past are two live insects called "stone bell worms", one of which is completely black and the other is completely white. Shade needs to put the two live insects into his ears... ...
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
Xia De held the small glass jar containing the insects and watched the two insects wriggling constantly, their short paralegia shaking densely, and then looked at the professor in disbelief. He didn't even want to touch them.
"Very sure."
The professor nodded, signaling that Shade could continue.
Shad didn't want to recall what happened and how he felt in the next few seconds, but he still learned this magic.
This spell also requires no materials, so it can be used immediately.
The elements pulled the soul and flowed in the life ring. As the space-time runes flashed with spiritual light, Shade's ears began to buzz, and then Dr. Schneider's clear words came. He was very excited when he spoke:
"I will spend my whole life watching over you."
"Um?"
Listening to the voices from the past, Shade raised an eyebrow.
The magic was not stopped, so the voice continued to come. The next sentence was still spoken by the doctor, but it was not the common language. The language was like a knife rubbing against bones, like maggots crawling on a corpse, and more like the gurgling of magma in the lowest abyss.
Xia De believed that if it weren't for the "Divine Afterglow" state protecting him, he would never have been able to remain calm in front of Professor Garcia:
"Schneider, the world is doomed! Your soul is destined to belong to me!"
The strong headache made Shade instinctively stop using magic. His breathing speed increased, and he could actually smell the smell of sulfur in his nose.
Just by using magic to transcend time and hear that strange and terrifying language, he felt so uncomfortable. That language itself might be the power in the mysterious system.
As it stands, you can't help him.
"Yeah, I can't help you now."
He responded in his heart, and the woman seemed to see his determination and just laughed. That laughter soothed the trauma in his heart caused by listening to the unknown terrible language, and Shade liked her laughter very much.
Professor Garcia didn't know what Shade had just heard. He was talking about the thaumaturgy of Raglai's jump. This thaumaturgy was created by a ring wizard at the Sexess Higher Medical School at the end of the Fifth Epoch. It was a rare ability that allowed a ring wizard to perform a low-risk space jump.
Its strength lies not in its short range of movement, but in its "low risk". The name of the inventor of thaumaturgy was directly recorded in the history of the three major thaumaturgy schools.
There are three core materials needed for Raglai's jumping training. The academy has both "obsidian in the space crack zone" and "ground powder of the leg bone of the Hound" and they were sent together. But the last one, three "weather vane blue grass", is not available for the time being.
