The Whispering Verses Chapter 289: “Amazing memory”

After notifying the other three people in the group that this week’s study meeting would be suspended, Shade had nothing else to do today. Before going out to kill in the morning, he received a letter from his client, Mrs. Le Maire, and her lawyer. Due to the events in the city these days, Mrs. Le Maire actually went directly to stay with relatives in the country after martial law was declared.

Citizens have a lot of ridiculous rumors about what happened on Thursday night, and City Hall has no intention of dispelling the rumors. So Mrs. Flamel, together with some citizens, chose to temporarily live in the countryside for a while. The matter of accepting the inheritance was postponed to next Sunday, and a week was enough for things to calm down.

So, Shade really has nothing to do this Saturday.

Miss Louisa asked Shade about his plans for today. After learning that he wanted to go home and read, she proposed to advance the weekly classes in the evening to this afternoon. After all, neither of them had anything to do.

Of course, the place of study will be moved to Sha De’s home. This was not because his house was larger, but because if Shade stayed in Miss Louisa's apartment all day, the landlady who lived on the first floor would be very dissatisfied.

The two took a walk after dinner, talking and walking back to Quill Street. After helping Miss Louisa pick up the notebook and some materials for class, she did not go home immediately. Instead, she took a carriage to the Delrayon National Bank, where Shade wanted to withdraw money.

The banking industry in this era was just beginning. The National Bank was an asset of the royal family, and the services it provided were limited to the exchange of gold pounds and crowns, deposits and withdrawals, and safe deposit box services. Even on a Saturday afternoon, there weren't many people at the bank.

Marble columns stand at the entrance of the bank to support the ceiling of the front porch. This magnificent decoration and architectural style show that this is a place where truly wealthy people come. After passing through the grand door, the polished and reflective floor makes foreigners nostalgic.

This was the first time he had seen such a clean floor since he came to this world. Compared with here, Old John's **** shop is just a garbage dump. It's actually a garbage dump.

Miss Louisa observed Shade's expression:

"Have you been here before?"

"Of course not. Do you think I look like a rich person?"

Xia De asked while looking at the spacious front hall. He was holding the soft little Mia. The strange new environment made the cat want to "roar" again.

He has just explained the source of the 1,200 pound draft, so Miss Louisa is not concerned about what he wants to do:

"I thought you would be shocked by the environment here. I don't think even the Yodel Palace is as impressive as this."

The blonde girl said with a smile. Seeing Shade looking around blankly, not knowing where to go first, she led him inside.

It seems that Miss Louisa is quite familiar with this kind of place.

There was no trouble in the process of withdrawing the money. After all, Miss Carina was not bored enough to write a fake money order to Shade. On the contrary, after he handed over the money order signed by the duchess, the middle-aged gentleman who hurried over and wiped his sweat while doing business for them always seemed to be secretly looking at Shade's face.

Xia De was confused at first, but soon thought of the misleading speech made by the black-haired maid yesterday in order to leave the city under martial law. Then I thought about how I came to withdraw money the next day with the duchess’s money order

"Fortunately, Miss Louisa didn't know what the maid said."

He sat on the sofa with his cat in his arms, thinking about which one was more important between receiving the duchess's full protection or his own reputation.

Although the bank in the steam age was interesting enough, the two did not stay long and left after receiving 1,200 pounds in cash. After finally returning to St. Teresa Square, Shade immediately made snowfall at home. On a sultry afternoon, sitting in a snowy room is the right way to spend the summer.

The three major thaumaturgy academies all have exam seasons twice a year. Next week is the summer exam week at the end of July, so they spent some time reviewing the study materials they needed to review and communicating with each other. trouble.

Xia De's study progress is pretty good. He has decided to pass at least seven exams during the summer exam week. If he is lucky, he might be able to pass nine (note). Now he has been promoted to the second ring, but if he wants to advance to the second grade, he still needs to meet the standards in these courses.

The written examination for the Correspondence Ring Magician is conducted by a group at the same place and time. The college will send at least two teachers to invigilate the examination through a projection ceremony. Therefore, Shade and Miss Louisa need to inform the doctor of their chosen exam courses before next Wednesday, so that the doctor can inform the college so that they can prepare the test papers in advance.

Miss Louisa was very enthusiastic in helping Shade choose exam subjects. When she heard that he was preparing to take the exam in nine subjects, she even praised his progress:

"It is difficult for even a true scholar to be as serious as you are if you can read so many books in one month. In order to allow ordinary people who are new to the field of occultism to adapt to the learning environment, the first-year courses are simple A little bit, but the fact that you can learn so much is enough to prove your hard work and wisdom.”

Foreigners from a foreign land who have received higher education are slightly proud of themselves:

"It is indeed difficult to memorize this knowledge, but fortunately it is interesting enough."

"Huh? Did you memorize it yourself?"

They did not choose a study room, but studied in the living room with plenty of natural light. The coffee table was covered with open books, and dense letters were written on notebooks, most of which were ancient texts that Shade helped the blonde girl translate.

"Of course, apart from doing commissions, I spend most of my waking hours reading. After all, I don't have much other entertainment activities."

Xia De is very satisfied with his self-discipline.

"Meow?"

The cat playing with the [Metamorphosis Ring] meowed with its tail.

"Oh, I still have some time to play with Mia."

The teacup and teapot were placed on the floor under the sofa. Shade bent down to pour himself tea. Miss Louisa, who was swinging the pen, asked hesitantly:

"Did you really memorize the content of so many books on your own?"

"Of course, otherwise there would be no one to help me carry it."

Xia De said matter-of-factly.

"But"

The blonde girl frowned slightly:

"Where is your other self? Doesn't he help you?"

A chuckle came from Shade's ears. He paused while holding the teacup, and asked in confusion:

"Sorry, Miss Louisa, you mean, there is another person I can help endorse?"

Miss Louisa nodded, her expression as if Shade had asked a silly question:

"What you can see, you can also see the other. He is you, you are him. The memory of the ring warlock is amazing, on the one hand because of our strong mental power, but also because there are two minds working together. Make memories. This is not cheating, because the other self of the Ring Warlock is really me."

Xia De blinked and did not comment on the second half of the sentence:

"Books I've Read"

[Of course I’m watching it too. 】

"Then you"

[I have memorized everything. As long as you have read the content, I remember at least 90% of it. 】

"Then why"

[What you pursue is understanding, not carrying a lot of books with you, right? 】

Shad nodded, then looked at Miss Louisa:

"My freshman year, there are a total of 19 required courses."

"Yes, I remember. Why are you talking about this?"

The blonde asked.

"In addition to the exam, "Basic Potions" also requires the preparation of standard potions - [Potion of Joy] and standard potions - [Water of Sleep]. "Introduction to Elementary Alchemy" requires submitting a simple test in addition to the written test. "Containment and Management of Relics" requires you to submit a report on your own participation in containing relics. "Time Travel Practical Training" is a complete practical course and requires submission of reports in addition to these four courses. The course involves practical content, and all other courses are purely written exams. ”

Xia De said again.

You can learn potion making from Priest August; for making alchemy items, you can ask Iluna or Father John for advice; for relic storage, Shade can also write a story for the mercury vial. .

"That's it..."

Miss Louisa still doesn't understand what Shade means.

"I changed my mind, I want to take 18 exams at once! (Note)"

Although he relied on the woman in his head to help him remember, he was promoted to second grade just to enjoy the second grade treatment in advance and get those textbooks. He will continue to study the first grade books, so this is not considered a foundation. Not reliable.

The blonde girl blinked at him and said after a long time:

"The academy has sufficient means to detect cheating effects not limited to [relics] and potions."

Xia De knew that she had misunderstood, so he put down the teacup in his hand and explained:

"No, no, no, I have an amazing memory. I mean, my other me has an amazing memory. Doesn't the other me have some inconspicuous little talents? My other me's little talent is that I have an amazing memory. ”

Compared with all the abnormalities she has shown, her amazing memory is nothing to mention, so Shade didn't even bother to ask the other party how she did it.

"Do you want to be a sophomore this summer?"

Miss Louisa finally fully understood Shade's intention.

The summer exam season is just for exams, and the winter exam season is for grades. But Shade is a key training target of the School of History, and has a good relationship with Professor Garcia of the School of History, and even has a good relationship with Miss Denister, the librarian of St. Byrons. Therefore, as long as he can meet the promotion requirements, the college will not deny him early entry into the second grade.

"Yes, promoted to second grade!"

Xia De had a smile on his face. He originally thought that it would take at least a year or two to enter the second grade, as Dr. Schneider said. Unexpectedly, he was almost there in a month.

Not only is it their own progress, but the condition for the group to go to St. Byrons is that the group has five ring warlocks, and at least one sixth ring warlock, one fifth ring warlock, and one fourth ring warlock. Now doctors will soon be promoted to the sixth level, and Shade, the lowest level, will also be promoted to the second level like Priest August. In this way, they are really one step closer to that unattainable goal.
