The Whispering Verses

Chapter 94: The characteristics of the Gun of Goodness

Views:

Generally, the Student Affairs Office of St. Byron's College is the liaison office for correspondence students, but no matter how efficient they are, it is impossible for them to respond immediately.

So they went to a restaurant to have lunch. Of course, the doctor, who claimed to have a "sudden illness", could only stay in bed and rest, and the servants of the clinic helped him to bring food. He looked like he was dying, so he didn't need to pretend.

The four of them had a hearty lunch at Good Richard's Restaurant on Roentgen Avenue, and when they returned to the doctor's bedroom, St. Byron's reply to the report had just arrived.

The college also takes this matter very seriously, otherwise the reply to the report would not arrive until the evening.

"Let me take a look."

Miss Louisa took a few pages of paper and flipped through them. After reading them, she handed them to the doctor and announced the good news to everyone:

"The academy didn't doubt the authenticity of our report, and even praised my good writing... At least for now. The professors were very satisfied with the intelligence we submitted. They also heard about the incident in Tobysk, but they didn't have any spies at the time, so they needed first-hand information. They also sent us information about the detective's gun. I didn't expect it to be a clerical-level (level 4) relic, and it was very famous in history. It was the Gun of Kindness."

Miss Louisa handed the relic manual between the pages to Shade, who took a look at it.

Clerical-level relic - the gun of kindness.

You can use physical bullets, or you can use the spirit of the ring wizard to replenish bullets. If you aim at yourself and fire without hurting yourself, you will never hurt yourself; if you aim at life other than yourself and fire without hurting others, if there is no way to resist the fatal effect, and the user who pulls the trigger is lower than the 9th ring, the user will die.

"So, the meaning of not harming yourself or others is that the gun holder cannot harm himself or others? Ha, I thought it was a judgment of the good and evil camps."

He sighed.

"Detective, you have also written the entrance exam, so you should know that it is very difficult to distinguish between good and evil. Therefore, there are very few relics like the one you mentioned."

Miss Anat, the purple-eyed fortune teller, warned.

The Lance of Kindness sounds powerful because of its "mortal" effect, but just as what Priest Augustus said, except for those who are confused by fate or low-level ring sorcerers, few people will take the initiative to use a relic whose properties they don't understand. Therefore, the rating of the Lance of Kindness is only clerical level.

"So what's the definition of this matter?"

Father Augustus was concerned.

"The illegal organization Mercury Blood and the followers of the old god Blood Feast Master jointly planned this shameful terrorist attack. The academy is issuing a bounty to all correspondence ring sorcerers in the Tobesk area. If you provide the academy with their information, you will receive a reward from the academy."

Dr. Schneider read it in a clear voice. After lunch, he was obviously in much better spirits.

"So what's the reward for this incident?"

Miss Annat was concerned, and in fact, Shade was also concerned, but he didn't have the courage to ask so directly.

"The academy needs to verify the information we provided, but the result will be available in a week at most. The current idea is that you and Shade will be awarded 20 practical credits and allowed to choose a magic or spell in the library. The academy can provide all the learning materials and 10 spellcasting materials. Tsk, what a generous offer."

Although Xia De couldn't see his own expression, he must have been similar to the female fortune teller with short brown hair.

"Eight credits each for the three of us."

The doctor pointed at himself, then handed the report to Father Augustus who was closest to him:

"Professor Roentgen from the seminary will meet with us probably on Saturday afternoon this week."

Father Augustus shook the paper in his hand, and they all saw that on the back of the first page, there was a meeting notice. The method used was the same as the private meeting notice that Shade saw last time:

"The professor will ask some questions to confirm the authenticity of the report, and then give us a reward. In addition, considering the special nature of this incident, the academy will help Dr. Schneider heal his injuries as a reward for the team."

Father Augustus said, and now everyone smiled.

"With these 8 credits, it seems that my chances of being promoted to Grade 5 this winter have increased."

The blonde girl said softly.

"Great! Now I don't have to stay in bed until the end of the year. I'll get moldy."

The blue-eyed doctor was also very happy. It was rare to see him look so happy.

"I've been wanting to go to the library to choose a new thaumaturgy for a long time. I'm really lucky. I'm going to choose the most expensive one on the list."

The female fortune teller with short brown hair also sat quietly on the chair, with her hands on her knees and a smile on her face.

"With 8 practical credits, it looks like I can try to get my academic rating upgraded by one level this winter."

The wrinkles on the old priest's brow were smoothed out by his good mood.

Seeing that Xia De didn't say anything, the four of them looked at him:

"Say something."

Miss Louisa instigated, and Shade thought about it. He only required 40 practical credits for the entire first grade, 10 of which must come from time exploration. The remaining 30 credits, unexpectedly, met 20 at once:

“Although this was a huge gain, I don’t want to go through it again.”

These words were spoken sincerely. The old priest, who was in a good mood, patted Shade on the shoulder and said:

"Although what you said is true, why are young people so lifeless? You don't look like a young man in his 20s. You should smile more often. This is the secret to my longevity."

Considering the average life expectancy of this era, the Augustan priest who was in his fifties was definitely long-lived.

Infected by the atmosphere, Xia De finally laughed.

Since he came into this world, he had no relatives, no friends, no memories of the past, no money, and even couldn't speak the language. Now that he has people he can trust and his own strength, he actually has nothing to complain about.

In addition to the college's response to the incident, what emerged from the manuscript page was Shade's learning situation. The college was also concerned about whether Shade was affected by the fact that he had unexpectedly obtained the Blasphemous Rune of Gluttony by directly facing the Old God.

But the original study plan remains unchanged, and "Crazy Light Chaser" and Spirit Rune Light are still the most important tasks for Xia De before checking the "Sublimation Code" of the academy in half a year. However, due to the special nature of the History Academy, not only Professor Roentgen of the Theology Academy will meet everyone this Saturday, but the vice dean of the History Academy, Professor Hesinger Garcia, will also appear to give compensation and rewards for the last accidental time travel event in the Fifth Epoch - 1068.

"Professor Garcia should be doing your course summary. He is the vice dean of the School of History. I didn't expect him to be the one to guide you. It seems that the School of History really values your work."

Dr. Schneider exclaimed.

But since the rewards for the Lakeview Manor incident and the investigator incident were both coming on Saturday, Shade was looking forward to the opportunity to talk to Professor Garcia alone. He wanted to check the "Sublimation Code" in advance, because the four different types of spiritual runes were already very close to him.
