The Whispering Verses

Chapter 62: The value of knowing the written word

Views:

"So after reading this book, do you have a headache?"

Dr. Schneider asked again.

"Really? Probably..."

He observed the expressions of the two people:

"Maybe. I fell asleep right after reading it."

Xia De said hesitantly, in fact, I wasted some time playing with Mia at night, and I stayed up too late to read and fell asleep. I did have a headache, but it was probably because I went to bed too late and was woken up too early in the morning by the hungry cat.

"This is normal. These books with crazy knowledge will be affected when read. Even if the ring warlock has another self to block the direct power of knowledge, the ring warlock himself will still be affected. Shade, you don't have to be impatient. It takes time to obtain the spirit rune."

The doctor kindly advised, Xia De nodded with his mouth closed, and asked in his heart:

"My spirit is strong, or you are helping me block those influences."

You are me and I am you, there is no difference.

At the study session, Shade could only understand half of what Dr. Schneider and Miss Louisa said about the difficulties encountered by ring wizards in their studies.

Doctor Schneider recently participated in an elective course called "Ether Mechanics". The course itself is only open to warlocks above the fifth ring, but it does not impart power, only studies theory. The standard name of the course should be "Spirit Mechanics", which is to study the interaction and interaction between idealistic spirits and matter.

But Professor Rutherford, who taught this course, liked the nickname of spirit in the past, which was "ether", so the course was named Ether Mechanics.

This course is very difficult to understand and is the most cutting-edge content of the Ring Warlock Theory Course. The doctor is certainly not interested in theoretical research, and he is not interested in the course itself, but just wants to get familiar with Professor Rutherford.

This professor of the history department is quite powerful, and has great attainments in the magic of time and space. Xia De will also come into contact with him in his senior years.

Dr. Schneider was almost completely unable to understand the content of the course. While doubting his own intelligence, he hoped to discuss topics such as "Completely Different Theories of the Soul", "Hilbert's Ether Space" and "Changes in Representation" with Miss Louisa, who was a grade below him, in order to find new ideas.

Xia De believed that the confused expression on Miss Louisa's face at that time was very similar to his own when he first began to explore the field of occult theory.

Compared to the doctor who chose to take the course "Ether Mechanics" without considering his own abilities and ended up in deep distress, Miss Louisa's problem was much simpler.

She was preparing for the July exam season and was planning to finish the non-practical courses for the fourth grade. Therefore, she had temporarily put aside her main job, novel writing, and focused on memorizing and understanding theoretical knowledge.

The biggest challenge for the blonde writer right now is ancient languages. Shad's courses of this kind are just introductory, but Miss Louisa is already applying them in practice.

She has learned that the approximate content of the exam will be chosen from the book "The Four Elements of Chase: Wind and Fire". The book is written in the southern tribal language of the fourth season - Shaveko. The book itself is also one of the mystical books engraved with the elements of wind and fire.

Miss Louisa hoped that the doctor could help her to do a preliminary translation of this thick book of more than 100 pages, but the doctor shook his head immediately after hearing the title of the book:

"I learned more than a dozen ancient languages and passed the exams with passing scores. Louisa, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help you."

He was obviously thinking of the scene when he was preparing for the ancient language exam many years ago, and he was trying to avoid the book in Miss Louisa's hand.

Xia De, who was sitting nearby, took the opportunity to take a look at the old blue ink manuscript book which was opened to page 29 while the two were arguing about how to pass the exam.

He immediately understood the contents of the less than 200 runes on both sides, which roughly described the story of an anthropomorphic wind element traveling in the Abyss of Madness.

Feeling a slight pain in his temple, Xia De looked away. He really understood the language he didn't understand at all, but the power of the language itself was hurting him.

"I think I can help you translate."

Shade said softly.

The so-called "golden finger" of the stranger in this world, that is, the special ability, except for the woman with a nice laugh in his head, is the ability to understand all languages. This ability is quite dangerous, because the more ancient and mysterious the language, the more dangerous it is. The recent loss of control of the poet-level relic Dark Box is a good example. Maybe one day Shade will die from a head explosion because he translated something he shouldn't have translated.

But for the study of the ring sorcerer, this ability is quite useful. He considered hiding this from everyone, but it was obvious that revealing part of the secret would bring him more benefits.

"Shad, do you understand?"

Dr. Schneider asked hesitantly. He had just leaned back on the sofa to avoid the paper and pen handed to him by Miss Louisa. Now he sat up straight and pointed to a rune on the page:

"What does this mean?"

"abyss."

Shade said, then looked at the doctor, who looked at the writer:

"Is the translation correct? I'm only at the passing level, I can't understand this."

"Probably...right."

Miss Louisa said:

"But how do you know this?"

"I don't know either. Just now, the Spacetime Spirit Rune suddenly flashed on the Fate Ring... and then the 'other me' reminded me that I understood this language."

The doctor and the writer both showed expressions of sudden enlightenment:

"The moment you came into contact with the ancient language, the power of time and space guided you to acquire knowledge from the past. So that's how it is."

They explained for Shad.

This is not nonsense, because spiritual runes can sometimes work on their own without being touched at all.

"So, Mr. Hamilton, could you help me translate this book?"

Miss Louisa handed the paper and pen to Xia De again:

"Two weeks, before mid-July. Just a simple translation will do. It doesn't have to be very precise. On the one hand, it's for your mental health. I don't want the ring wizards in my group to lose control because of my exam. On the other hand, if I get an exceptionally good score, I won't be able to answer the professor's questions at all."

Her ideas were very thorough.

"I think two weeks should be fine."

Xia De nodded, and the blonde writer finally smiled with relief:

"Your efforts will not be in vain. I can give you a rare spell called Frog Leap. This can allow you to have a stronger jumping ability in a short period of time. Apart from the need for disgusting frog legs as casting materials, it has almost no disadvantages. This is a very rare spell. When I donated it to the school library, I got two practical credits at once."

Of course Xia De didn't refuse.
