MTL - Whispering Verse-Chapter 38 Priest Augustus of the Church of the Dawn

In addition to the research on the core spirit runes, Shad also experimented with other "simple" attempts mentioned in the doctor's notebook.

Dr. Schneider pointed out that the power possessed by ring warlocks is the power of thoughts to influence reality, so even if they don't learn any thaumaturgy and spells, they can still use their own power, which is the so-called "heart is better than matter".

Among them, the power derived from the core spirit runes that is used spontaneously is collectively called "thaumaturgy" in ancient times; the power that is only related to thought without learning is called "spell" after being sorted into a system .

Of course, the academy believes that the classification of "spells" also includes "divine spells" related to the righteous gods, which are derived from beliefs and direct gifts from the righteous gods, but Xia De and the doctor's study does not involve these. However, the church believes that the classification of "divine arts" should be separated from that of incantations, and the two are fundamentally different.

In the early days of this era, after continuous heated debates in the ring warlock academic circles, the five righteous gods and the existing evil gods' "divine arts" were officially listed alongside "thaumaturgy" and "curse" as the outermost part of the ring magician's power system. in performance.

The magic of the extinct old gods still belong to "spells" because their believers have no right to speak.

Therefore, the spell "Echo of Blood" that Shad obtained from the old **** "Vampire Duke Rael" should be the magic spell of the old **** in essence. Absolutely not.

Therefore, the core of the ring magician system is [spiritual runes], [thaumaturgy] that has great power and effect but must be learned through spiritual runes, [spells] that are low in priority but can be learned, and [spells] related to gods and beliefs. Divine Art] is the embodiment of the power of the ring warlock system.

"Upgrading the number of rings requires one each of the four spirit runes of Miracle, Blasphemy, Enlightenment, and Whisper, and the relationship between the spirit runes and spells, magic, and thaumaturgy is similar to the relationship between [Tao] and [Art]. Sure enough, the balance of the spirit runes Learning about thaumaturgy is also very important."

This is the understanding of foreigners.

Xia De tried to ignite a piece of paper with his fingers, which was the prototype of a simple spell. And in this day's experiment, he also successfully realized moving an extremely light object with the power of his mind, which is the so-called "distance teleportation".

He is probably very talented in how to use this kind of spirit. In addition to moving a bunch of Mia's hair and a Rhodes card with the degree that his eyes almost bleed, when he focused on the target in front of him, he put his fists together and pointed at it. When the bound volume of the heavy pirated book "The Detective's Elegy" was hit, even if you didn't touch the novel as thick as this dictionary, you could make the book fly a few centimeters instead of being carried down by the wind.

This pirated detective novel was not bought by Xia De with random money. It is a relic of the former detective. It is the only few he has including "The Queen and Her Lovers", "The Silver Knight" and "The Western Front". this novel.

The first is a colorful court novel, the middle one is a very traditional knight adventure novel, and the last one is a novel that is biased towards documentary literature.

Detective Sparrow Hamilton flipped through these books a lot, and the inadvertently folded footers and tea drips all proved that this was his hobby.

As for the only [relic] in his hand, that is, the clerical-level relic [Vampire Ring], Xia De couldn't find a living experiment, so he couldn't understand its specific effect. But he has already removed the pocket watch chain, made the ring into a pendant and hung it around his neck, which is not counted as wearing it, so as long as it is not worn 24 hours a day, it will not have a particularly big impact on him.

Xia De intends to consult the doctor and others tomorrow. Correspondence ring warlocks with rich experience will definitely be able to give good advice on how to use it.

Finally came Wednesday, but Xia De woke up early not because of excitement, but because of the nightmare of being pressed against his chest by a heavy object.

It was only dim in the early morning of summer, and the extremely weak light shone into the room through the tightly closed curtains. Shade still felt the tightness in his chest when he woke up, and after about 5 seconds, he realized that there was a cat lying there.

There is only one foster orange cat in Xia De's family for the time being, so it was Miniya who woke Xia De up.

It stared amber eyes, looked at Shad from the quilt on his chest, and jumped out of bed when he woke up. Judging from the stomping sound of pedaling, it ran towards the door of the house.

"You only came once yesterday and you know? The milkman won't be here in half an hour."

Xia De yelled at the cat, imagining the books and courses worth 50 pounds that he would get today, filled his chest with passion, and then left the bed.

Room 1 located on the second floor of the apartment is quite large in size, but it only has two bedrooms. Shad lives in the smaller room, which is also the residence of the original owner with a bad head. The larger one was the room where the former detective had died. Shad didn't feel much fear of it, but he didn't plan to move there.

After a few days, he contacted the merchant who bought the old furniture, transported the bed away, and asked Dr. Schneider about the method of detecting ghosts before he would consider living in the big bedroom.

After leaving Little Mia at home to watch the house, and reserved enough cat food in the small bowl prepared for her, Xia De went out. The appointment time with the doctor was ten o'clock in the morning, and the clinic was quite far from the Saint Teresa Square. Xia De thought he would be able to arrive around nine thirty, but probably because he was too much looking forward to it, he saw the signboard of the Schneider Psychological Clinic one minute before nine o'clock.

Without going to other places to kill time, Xia De walked in directly. The doctor had told the receptionist of the clinic that Detective Hamilton, who was "depressed by his uncle's death," would come today, so he directly directed Xia De to the psychological consultation room on the second floor.

Immediately after knocking on the door, the doctor came to answer it, while another person was already in the room.

The gray-haired old man in a decent black formal suit stood up, nodded slightly and smiled at Xia De. His gentle smile made people feel good. His eyes were the usual gray and heavily lined, and he was probably over fifty, but he looked very energetic.

He is slightly taller than the doctor, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com but lower than Xia De, with a medium to thin body, and it seems that life is not very rich.

Xia De's eyes were attracted by the pendant hanging on the old man's chest. The pendant itself was hung on a silver chain, and the form of the pendant was a brass-colored notched ring.

This is the righteous **** [Mr. Liming], the holy emblem of light and shadow, and it is a common practice for church clergy to hang the holy emblem on their chests.

"Huh? Clergy? Although the academy is not hostile to the Orthodox Church, but..."

Xia De was puzzled.

"let me introduce."

Seeing Xia De's confusion, Dr. Schneider said enthusiastically:

"Xia De, this is Priest Rat Augustus, the second-ring warlock of this group, and a loyal follower of Mr. Liming. Although he is a priest of the church, he did not become a ring warlock through the channel of the church, which is rare in the world. Awakened talent at an advanced age, and joined the clergy of the academy because of a mistake.

He has no prejudice against the academy, and he will not disclose our identity information to the church if we do not harm the Church of Dawn. He is trustworthy. "

Although ring warlock talent can theoretically appear in all age groups, it is generally concentrated between the ages of 16 and 40, and the old priest of Augustus is extremely rare.

"Don't worry, I can swear on the reputation of my own Bill Jane Schneider that Priest Augustus is absolutely trustworthy. He joined us, and he was also reviewed by the three people including me and the academy. There is Augustus With the priest here, some of our actions will be very convenient."

The doctor said again, and the gray-haired old priest came over to shake Shad's hand. Xia De naturally believed the doctor's words, so he also hurriedly reached out his hand. The old man's palm was broad and quite powerful.
