The Whispering Verses Chapter 961: Knowledge chases people

Times have left profound marks on this arrow, and its appearance is the most perfect work of art and ancient relic. Shade stared at the arrow in the mahogany box, and whispers rang in his ears. While the image of the arrow seemed to be engraved in his mind, those strange whispers and inexplicable thoughts in his heart were urging him to immediately pierce it with the arrow. own heart.

Xia De longs for the power of knowledge, and this arrow also seems to long for the strangers who are watching him.

He took a deep breath to concentrate and not be affected by the relics. Stretching out his fingers, when they touched the cold and biting golden arrow, "her" voice sounded in his ears:

[Thumbology-The Ancient Voice is triggered, and you learn a story from the First Age. 】

[The ancient **** of wisdom once worked with the sages of Silver Moon to write the myths of mortals on the land of the First Age. The recorder writes everything in silence, the mentor who protects knowledge polishes the arrows of knowledge and power, and protects the mortals who are looking for light in the lightless darkness. The ancient **** once said: "Knowledge is hidden in the world, wisdom is hidden in the soul. The wise are like water, they will leave; the fools are like fire, burning all things."]

His fingers directly touched this sage-level relic. Even though Shade's mental power was extremely strong and he thought he had a firm belief, after listening to "her" story, it still took a lot of determination to put the box back into place. Cover.

"This item contains the power of the ancient **** [Secret Keeper]. One of the three conditions of the Chosen Ceremony has been met."

He closed his eyes and tried his best to forget the whispers he had just heard and banished the image of the arrow from his mind. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the recovered Professor Drake looking at him with some concern.

The professor and Shade saw the [Arrow of Knowledge of Iken'ola] in the wooden box together, but the professor did not show a strange expression, as if what he saw was just an antique.

"Professor, don't you have any special feelings?"

"What special feeling?"

Professor Drake asked curiously:

"Do you want to ask me what I remembered? Sorry, I just feel that this arrow is very familiar, but I still don't know how it came into my hands."

Shad frowned slightly. This wooden box was the containment measure for the arrow. Because Shad did not take it out, the whisper element would not directly affect the two of them. But the mental impact of looking directly at the relic, as well as the urge to use arrows that arise from the bottom of the heart, appear just by looking at the relic.

"Take another look."

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box again. The influence of the relic was immediately noticed by Shade again, but Professor Drake still seemed to have no feeling at all, as if what was in the box was really just an ordinary antique.

"It's definitely not my problem, so it's the professor's problem."

Shad continued to look at Professor Drake, who became even more confused:

"What's wrong with me?"

"I contacted Professor Tiris Manning of Tobesk, who praised you as a very inspiring person. When faced with strange phenomena, you are always the first to find something wrong, and you are always able to Find the most suitable research direction."

Xia De pursed his lips:

"Does this strange talent still exist after you return from the adventure of 'The Lady of the Lake'?"

The professor recalled it and shook his head slightly:

"That adventure and the fact that I broke my leg had a great impact on me. Yes, I have indeed become a lot slower since that adventure."

Shad thought again about the photo with the "Swamp Witch Curse" that he got when he first came to Professor Drake. That time he was still affected by the curse, but Professor Drake didn't feel it at all.

"It seems that your wish also includes erasing some unique talents."

Xia De said very cautiously, and the professor’s face became even more ugly:

"God, what kind of wish did I make back then?"

He lowered his head and looked at the tea cup he was holding. The hot steam blurred the professor's glasses.

Shad had some new ideas. He opened the box again and took out the arrow directly this time:

"Professor, I want to scratch your finger with this arrow."

Although Professor Drake didn't know what Shade wanted to do, he didn't object. So Shade very carefully used a sharp arrow to make a small cut on Professor Drake's finger. Because the wound was so shallow, and even just the epidermis was turned up, the professor squeezed hard before the blood seeped out.

The old professor frowned slightly, raised his gaze from his fingers, and looked at Shade who was holding the arrow:

"It's really interesting. I seem to have more knowledge in my head."

He patted his head:

"Very fragmented knowledge, seems to be about ancient insect eaters, oh, what are these?"

Xia De asked in his heart:

"If I remember correctly, ordinary people who are scratched will either become gifted or die slowly. And if a ring warlock is scratched, then"

[There is some weird knowledge in my head. 】

Xia De pursed his lips and stretched out his hand to signal the professor to shake his hand. After shaking hands, Shade once again confirmed that Professor Drake was an ordinary person.

"Professor Manning's letters compiled by Dorothy stated that Professor Drake was extremely enterprising and pursued knowledge and wisdom throughout his life. The professor's special physical condition described in the two lost letters caused hallucinations. The visual and physical functions are enhanced, which is very consistent with the situation of the ring warlock after awakening."

In order to prevent Father Nobel from making mistakes in his description of the relic, Shade cut his finger with an arrow. He felt the wonderful pain and noticed that some weird knowledge was pouring into his mind.

Suddenly he frowned. The knowledge related to sin and human sacrifice contained a set of ancient texts. As for that text, Shade had seen it once.

"Professor, do you still remember the book we found when we were looking for letters last time? The book said [Knowledge is Power] in strange words."

"Yes, you translated the text for me."

The professor, who was thinking about the strange phenomenon, nodded.

"I have some guesses about this. Is it possible that you wrote that paragraph in the book?"

"But I don't know that kind of writing."

"Just because we don't know each other now, doesn't mean we didn't know each other before."

As he spoke, Shade took out the book, then asked the professor to compare the row of letters and rewrite the letters. The letters of those ancient scripts are like complex spirals. Even if you look at the copy, they will be very different from the letters themselves. But after the professor holds the pen and writes it out, although there are some slight differences, it can basically be judged that the words in the book are the professor's handwriting.

"But what does it mean?"

Professor Drake still doesn’t understand.

"This Arrow"

Xia De thought about it and decided to reveal part of the truth first:

"A certain kind of strange group of people can gain knowledge by touching this arrow. But the problem is, professor, you do not belong to this kind of strange group of people."

"Strange crowd?"

The professor looked at Shade hesitantly. Shade reached out and touched the teacup on the table. The tea glowed with silver in the old professor's surprised eyes.

He dropped the tea on his injured finger, and then dropped the tea on the professor's finger. After more than ten seconds, the scars on their fingers completely disappeared.

Professor Kansas Drake opened his mouth wide:

"The rumors are all true. So there really is so-called occultism and supernatural power?"

"You shouldn't be so surprised. It's impossible for senior history and folklore professors like you and Professor Manning not to know this. It seems that you have really forgotten. To be more precise, maybe you You don’t belong to the special group now, but there are various signs that you used to belong to the special group.”

The old man was completely confused, while Xia De squinted:

"What's very interesting is that I have investigated your background information, and a lot of evidence proves that you are just an ordinary person. This is not the cover-up of the Lady of the Lake. There are deliberate loopholes in the cover-up, but your ordinary Your background is very normal. In other words, it only takes a very short time for you to become what I call a special group of people. Coupled with the other functions of this arrow, ordinary people have a chance of becoming a gifted person."

Although the professor could not understand what Sha De said at all, and although he was even more confused, he was greatly shocked at this time:

"Have you found the truth?"

"Professor Manning praised you for your amazing inspiration, which is very useful information in itself."

Lecia believes that her sister, the little princess Agelina, also has the talent of a ring magician, but she has not reached the age of awakening yet, because the little princess also has amazing inspiration.

"In your letter to Professor Manning, you said that you suddenly became very healthy; your diary also mentioned that you saw some hallucinations. This in itself also indicates that some changes have occurred in you. ”

Shad looked at the photo of Halder Ondiba and the professor on the table:

"You have a very good relationship with him, and he is the holder of the arrow; when he was unexpectedly rounded up, the arrow was actually in your hand, which shows that your change is related to him; a priest I know once Said, this Mr. Ondiba may have unknown followers in Huntingdon; your reputation is very good, I don’t think you are a bad person, so I don’t want to be a professor, please answer me a question!”

Professor Drake was shocked by Shade's serious expression:

"Young man, I can bear it, just ask."

"Suppose there is a possibility that you have been pursuing a certain goal all your life, but when you actually achieve the goal, you are frightened by the goal itself. Then, is it possible that you will give up your lifelong pursuit, or even To forget it at any cost?"

The professor opened his mouth slightly:

"I don't know. But if I really give up, then my life will be too sad. You mean"

Although the professor is old and has lost some of his talents, time will bring more wisdom to mankind. He has guessed something.

Shad nodded slightly, and then saw Professor Drake showing an expression that looked like he was struck by thunder. The old professor sighed deeply and huddled in his wheelchair, looking older than ever.

"Although I can't prove my conjecture, I think I have reached the conclusion. The Lady of the Lake has fulfilled your wish. I supplemented the lack of reasoning process with my guess. This is of course not rigorous enough. Fortunately, I am also a A very inspired person. This is probably the truth."

"Mr. Watson, you said that exploring what happened to me was a test given to you by the 'Lady of the Lake'?"

"Yes."

Xia De nodded.

"Are you going to use your current guess to tell her that you have completed the trial?"

"Yes."

The professor raised his head and looked at him pleadingly:

"Take me with you, Mr. Watson, please, take me with you. I don't want to say that I am too old to live for a few years, but please, Mr. Watson, take me with you. , let’s go visit the goddess in the lake together and let me know the story of the past, even if it may be the last trip in my life.”

This means that Professor Drake has occupied a precious wish-making qualification of Shade. Shade looked at him and patted the red wooden box:

"This arrow belongs to me."

"Okay, young man."

The professor drooped his eyelids and tried to open his eyes to look at Shade, the light in his eyes seemed to be reflected back:

"When shall we leave?"

Xia De looked at the midday sunlight outside:

"Let's set off after lunch and rent a carriage."

He hesitated and then said:

"Professor, since you have already made a choice in the past, why do you need to know the truth? It may only make you more painful. I have a letter from Professor Manning to you, Professor Tobesk Encourage you to live an active life and maybe get a cat. ”

He put the letter on the desk, but Professor Drake just leaned on the back of the wheelchair and looked up at the ceiling:

"I am just unwilling to go into the grave with questions."

They were in the study and didn't speak for a long time.
