The Whispering Verses Chapter 205: Red Moon Witch Danist
Although the crystal in his hand was the address of the college, before Shade had time to take a second look, all the text on the page was cleared, and a big number "3" appeared.
The four people beside the wall held their breath, but they were all very excited:
"Shad, get ready!"
Dr. Schneider reminded loudly.
The number "2" appears.
Shade hurriedly took out his house key and threw it against the wall along with the pages in front of him and the messy pile of things in his pocket.
The number "1" appears.
"If I come back late, remember to help me feed the cat."
He shouted loudly, and then the crystal in his hand exploded with an astonishing white light like a bomb exploding. In the room with the doors and windows closed, a strong wind suddenly rose in the light. The four doctors closed their eyes subconsciously. After a few seconds, the light disappeared together with the strong wind, and Shade, who was originally standing, also disappeared.
The paper picked up by the wind fell in the air like snowflakes. What disappeared with Shade was one-fifth of the coffee table in front of him and half of the sofa behind him. Both seemed to have been precisely cut. The cross section is exceptionally neat.
"Oh~"
The doctor sighed, looked around the room as if it had been struck by a storm, and whispered:
"This movement... is much smaller than I thought."
(Little Mia is running...)
It seemed as if it was forced into a round ball by an external force, and then rolled rapidly in the narrow pipe. Then it seemed to be stuffed into the muzzle of the gun, and then it was pushed forward with great force.
Bizarre hallucinations unfolded before his eyes one after another. The strange hallucinations made it difficult for Shade to distinguish between true and false. He saw strange scenes such as the giant black octopus dancing its tentacles under the dusky sky, the sun falling in the apocalyptic scene, the giant black hand falling from the sky and destroying the material world, Miss Louisa and Miss Bayas hugging each other and kissing, etc. .
"Miss Louisa doesn't know Miss Bayas at all. What am I thinking?"
My confused mind felt like it was going to explode because it had received too much information at once. But soon there was a feeling of being on the ground again under his feet. Shade just felt his body swaying, and then he saw that the picture in front of him was fixed, and the space jump was over.
Close your eyes and take a deep breath, suppressing the feeling of vomiting that comes with the dizziness. At the same time, the air flowing in from the nasal cavity formed a new sense of smell. The air was dry and slightly cold, and was filled with the unique smell of paper and ink.
Shad likes this smell very much.
Opening your eyes, there is no doubt that there is a large library in front of you, and there is actually a solid wood floor under your feet. He stood in the open space in the middle of the bookshelves. The tawny wooden bookshelves arranged at random heights stretched far away from his eyes. Sometimes high and sometimes low, the arrangement is not neat, but there is an inexplicable sense of order.
On the bookshelf closest to Shade, there is a brass nameplate with "History (Fifth Era 1~100)". Books are filled in the bookshelf, and words from various eras are marked on the spines to indicate the information of the books. . In an era when knowledge is wealth, just the visible part of the library in front of you is enough to buy the entire Tobesk.
Looking up at the sky, the curved ceiling, which is high in the middle and low on all sides, seems to be as high as a four-story building. Shade stood directly under the ceiling at the highest point, which should be the center of the library. The sound of footsteps coming from everywhere showed that this place was being used. Perhaps just a bookshelf or two away, there stood a real on-campus magician of St. Byrons.
The temperature in the library was lower than that of Tobesk in midsummer. He took a deep breath again and let the cold air flow into his lungs, allowing his spirit to completely return to normal.
The space between the bookshelves where he is located is generally circular. Not far from Shade, three middle-aged men wearing blue robes with the St. Byrons school badge on their chests are busy rolling them up and placing them in the triangle. A large brown parchment scroll on a shelf.
With a quick glance, Shade saw the map outline on the roll of paper with severely faded ink. However, the part of the coastline he saw seemed different from any place he knew, and it was not even the shape of the coastline of the New World...
"Mr. Hamilton, please follow me. Miss Denister is waiting for you."
The two men wore brown leather gloves and continued to "fight" with the map that was constantly squirming and trying to unfold, while the woman among them spoke to Shade in very skilled Drarian language. She was tall and looked to be in her forties. It's just that the corners of his eyes are slightly raised, giving people a very fierce feeling.
Shad nodded while looking around, trying to imprint everything he saw in his mind. The woman's voice in his ears had already told him that there were traces of the four elements almost everywhere in this space. This is really St. Byrons, that academy of thaumaturgy hidden in the far north, really exists.
Then he followed the woman, walking along the long and narrow aisle in the bookshelf toward the interior or exterior. Seeing Shade taking one last look at the huge map, the woman explained to him:
"[The Broken Old World Map] is a relatively safe one among the angel-level relics contained in the academy. Its containment method is simple, and its negative characteristics are relatively uncomplicated. Each expansion should not exceed 30 seconds. There will be no problem."
"What happens if it exceeds thirty seconds?"
Shad asked, listening to the light sound of his shoes on the wooden floor. But when you walk between the bookshelves, the wooden floor turns into stone tiles. It seems that the floor inside the library is not the same material.
"Over thirty seconds, the map will randomly teleport surrounding items to any corner of the material world. Mr. Hamilton, this may not sound serious, but once it exceeds thirty seconds, as time goes by, the range will It gets bigger and bigger, and the effect lasts, combined with the fact that the map is not affected by any magic or magic. Do you know what this means?"
The woman asked, taking Shade to the right at the corner ahead. Standing in the aisle between the bookshelves was a boy who looked younger than Miss Bayas. He glanced at Shade curiously.
"Once it exceeds thirty seconds, no one can get close to the map, because once they get close, they will be teleported. It is also impossible to use extraordinary abilities to roll up the map, so the map's area of influence will become larger and larger."
Shad replied, looking around at the bookshelves around him. Most of the books I have seen so far are in Delarian or Kasonric. The writing in these two languages is actually very similar.
Occasionally seeing books with strange words, Shade would try to decipher them after confirming that the contents of the books around him were safe. For example, there is a "Pink Book" on the bookshelf I just passed. This book is the only pink book on the entire bookshelf.
"This relic is kept by the School of Library Management. The last time it was used in this way was more than thirty years ago. This time it was taken out at Miss Danister's request. It is said that the map is a product from before the Third Age. And at the end of the Fourth Age, a serious out-of-control event occurred, which directly changed the topography of the material world, causing the main continent in the Fourth Age literature to split into the east-west, north-south continents of the Fifth Age, and the central... ...we're here."
The woman suddenly stopped at the end of the bookshelf in front of her and signaled Shade to continue walking forward.
After passing the bookshelves, there is another open space among the bookshelves. Shade suddenly felt that the library here was actually more like a maze, hiding countless years of precious knowledge.
The woman turned and left behind Sha De. Sha De took two steps forward and saw a coffee table and four couches placed in the open space. The coffee table is made of glass with scattered books stacked on it, and the couches are all dark fabric sofas.
The red-haired lady wearing small glasses is sitting on the sofa waiting for Shade. She has a soft expression and beautiful face. She is holding a book in her hand whose name is too far away to be seen clearly.
Different from the red hair unique to the Cavendish royal family, her hair is not bright in color, but can be considered dim.
I don’t know if it’s the influence of the high-level warlock’s power or the effect of the relic [Eternal Youth Leaf], but she looks to be less than thirty years old. But according to what Shade heard, her age should not be lower than...
"Good afternoon, Mr. Hamilton. From the look in your eyes, I seem to see that you are thinking of something rude."
Delarion is equally proficient in speaking, and his tone has this teasing flavor.
"Good afternoon."
Just taking a few steps forward and not even sitting down, the woman's voice in his ear was already reminding Shade of the strength of the other party.
He nodded slightly to show respect:
"Miss Denister."
The librarian of St. Byrons Comprehensive College, "Red Moon Witch" Daniste, is the first thirteen-ring warlock Shade has seen in this world. The woman with a soft smile in front of her is one of the strongest mortals in this world.
The lady in front of her did not have much of a fierce temperament. On the contrary, the way she sat on the sofa holding a book looked very much like an ordinary person who had not been exposed to the occult. But the more this happens, the more something is wrong. The temperament of the ring warlocks will have unusual changes after possessing the four elements of spiritual contact. The lady in front of them should be able to perfectly control all their power.
After respectful greetings, Shade sat down on the sofa opposite Miss Denister. He didn't quite understand what the other party wanted to do with him, but since he didn't run away when he received the notice just now, he certainly couldn't show anything strange now.
"Welcome to St. Byron's, Shad Suellen Hamilton."
The librarian said softly, but did not give Shade a chance to speak:
"Show me your life ring."
This was Miss Denister's first request after Shade sat down. So she summoned the metal ring behind her amid the whistle and roar, but the Red Moon Witch only glanced at it and asked Shade to take it back.
Xia De originally thought it was [the little match girl] who aroused suspicion, but unexpectedly the problem suddenly changed:
"Actually, I'm curious, Mr. Hamilton, why is your middle name Suellen?"
Her right index finger wearing an emerald ring shook slightly, and the teacup and teapot on the coffee table jumped up automatically, filling Shade with tea.
Then he snapped his fingers again, and the corner of the thirteen-ring warlock's life wheel appeared in front of Shade's eyes. What he could see was one of Miss Danister's core runes [Red Moon].
I felt a little surprised, but still answered "honestly":
"I have no previous memory. When I am awake, I only know my own name. When I was signing the documents for the disposal of the body to the former detective, I suddenly thought of a word, and 'Suellen' was the first one that jumped into my head. ”
This is not a lie, just omitting some details. After all, a woman's voice talking in her head does "words jump into my head."
The Red Moon Witch nodded and raised her right hand slightly. The shadows of the red moon, the yellow moon and the silver moon appeared together on her palm. The three-wheeled moon is almost located at the three vertices of the equilateral triangle, rotating in the palm of the thirteen-ring sorceress:
"We are all people who are involved with the moon. But the meaning of the word Selun is not just the silver moon."
Shad nodded but did not speak. He thought it would be good to just listen at this moment.
"Mr. Hamilton, when you reach your senior year and have a deeper understanding of ancient writing, you will understand that words with this pronunciation have appeared in most civilizations, and they all represent the silver moon. One way of saying It is believed that in the oldest era, there were not three moons in the sky, but one silver moon, which was the original moon."
Hearing this, Shade thought that when he met the [Innocent Creator] for the second time, in the "illusion" created by him to match his story, there was only a silver moon in the sky.
The view that the Silver Moon is the original moon is probably more than just speculation.
The discussion about the moon allowed Shade to get a little familiar with Miss Danist. But then, she suddenly changed the topic:
"We'll talk about the moon later, that's why I came to you. Now, let's talk about your words about the sublimation of the lower fourth ring. For gifted students, we have always supported checking out " As for whether you can be trusted, I don’t think you need to think about it anymore. After all, no one is completely trustworthy.”
She shook the book in her hand and looked at Shade with her eyes. Her tone was still so soothing, just like a normal chat with friends during tea time:
"So what needs to be considered now is, Mr. Hamilton, which core rune do you want to use to participate in the construction of the lower fourth ring of the word of sublimation?"
"Anything is fine."
Shad replied that he had inquired with the doctor in advance and that which core rune he chose would not affect him.
"So, do you expect to find a construction based on the current ring of spiritual runes you have mastered, or do you want to challenge yourself and are not satisfied with the current spiritual runes? In fact, in the construction of the word of sublimation, the meaning is completely consistent, of course it is good , but the close spiritual rune can also be added to the build, but I think your enlightening spiritual rune is probably not possible, it is too long."
She asked again.
"[Gluttony] and [Echo] are both fine, I just hope to be promoted to the second level as soon as possible."
Selecting the spiritual runes of each ring will not have much impact on the future, only the difficulty of obtaining the other three runes in the Word of Ascension will.
"This way, your choices will be clear."
The **** hard-cover book turned automatically in Miss Daniste's hands, making a clattering sound.
