The Whispering Verses Chapter 2920: The power of a name

Chapter 2919 The Power of Name

"Miss Metz, in that memory, did you live here as a student or a teacher?"

The Gray Wolf Witch also asked. Although everyone didn't like her very much because of her race at first, they now get along very well.

Miss Metz thought for a moment:

"It's hard to describe. Sometimes I am a teacher and sometimes I am a student. I remember that I once stood on the podium and taught, and the teaching content was divination, so I am very familiar with this tower; but sometimes I sit The students were listening to the lectures of the old professor on the soft cushions, still holding notebooks in their hands."

The worried green dragon maid said casually:

"Maybe there's just something wrong with the order of memory. You studied here and stayed here to continue teaching according to the tradition of the Order after graduation."

Miss Metz nodded slowly and hesitated before asking:

"Do you think I am really a normal person?"

No one answered this question.

Except for Miss Metz herself, Emilia was the only one here who had not heard Shade say that he thought there was something wrong with the witch, so the simple elf asked:

"Do you think you are a ghost?"

The witch nodded and looked at her hands holding the rice bowl:

"Or maybe there is another soul in my body, and she guided me here."

No one else knew what to say, so Xia De comforted him:

"When we see that god, you can ask for help. God will love and protect his believers."

He immediately changed the topic:

"Speaking of which, since you have entered this tower, why don't you go to the top floor instead of camping on the penultimate floor?"

"The door to the top floor is locked, and a key is required to open it in conjunction with the incantation found on the stone tablet last time."

Miss Metz replied:

"Like other places, the door cannot be broken down by force. I only remember that there should be a key, but I don't know where it is. Probably, it is on the person who finally left the academy and left the stone monument. ."

"I have the power to open locks. I can give it a try later."

Xia De said, patting little Mia on the head. Because Emilia was huddled next to Shade, it was not convenient for the cat to lie on Shade's lap. It was now lying on the soft cushion by the fire, and the kind-hearted Miss Wilder also prepared food for it.

"So are you ready to teach us what you want to know?"

Xia De asked again, this time the human witch nodded and gave a definite answer:

"It's ready."

During the boring and chaotic time when Shade was away, Iluna had taught everyone about the power of the sun. Even Emilia learned from Iluna that Shade had seen in the Temple of Order. The magical spell [Sunshine] used by Iluna who visited.

This is a thaumaturgy that allows strong sunlight to appear in the field to kill evil forces in a wide range. Although Emilia has learned it, the power is obviously not comparable to the thaumaturgy released by Iluna.

In addition to learning power from Iluna, Emilia also learned power from the Gray Wolf Witch and the Green Dragon Witch. Although she failed to learn the transformation technique of turning into a wolf or a dragon, she did learn the thaumaturgy - [Wolf Eyes] and the thaumaturgy - [Sweetener].

The former can enhance her eyesight, but considering that pure-blooded high elves have the talent of [dark vision], the greatest significance of this thaumaturgy is to enhance long-sightedness; while the latter allows Emilia to have the ability to The ability to sweeten anything.

This is different from Shade's [Candy Making]. He turns food into candy. In essence, the food has been changed. Emilia, on the other hand, makes everything sweet, adding a new flavor without changing the essence of the object.

In other words, she can even make a stone on the ground taste sweet, but the stone is still a stone.

Although these two magic arts seem to have little effect, Emilia herself likes them very much.

Although Shade had fifty minutes this time, he couldn't waste it too much, so everyone ate quickly. As for where the **** will be this time, Shade thinks there is no need to look for it. Since the door upstairs cannot be opened, the possibility of the **** being at the top of the tower is almost 100%.

After eating, he stood up and prepared to use thaumaturgy to open the door. Miss Wilder, Miss Bister, and Emilia were collecting the dishes downstairs. Because the stairs were narrow, only Miss Metz and Iluna followed. Shade went upstairs.

The door was at the end of the stairs. Shade first recited the incantation based on what Miss Metz said, so the door that originally had no keyhole had a keyhole. Then he pressed his finger on the keyhole:

"Key to the door!"

The finger turned, and the clear sound of the door lock being opened came from inside the door.

Xia De was very surprised:

"That simple?"

"Isn't simplicity good enough?"

Eluna asked, Shade shook his head:

"The difficulty of opening this door is similar to that of opening the door of an ordinary person's house. Is the lock of such a tightly protected room just an ordinary lock? I feel like I can lock this door even with a piece of iron wire. Poke open."

Anyway, the door did open, but Shade held the door handle and had no intention of pushing the door open. You can't be too cautious in such a weird place. Besides, the slate that Miss Metz brought with her didn't shine, so there was no reason for him to go behind the door:

"My [Door Key] is not omnipotent. I thought a long time ago that if a door is opened in two ways, it will lead to different places, then I use [Door Key] It's hard to tell where it will lead after opening the door. I have a bad feeling that this door can never be opened like this. I think we still need to find the key."

"But where will the key be? Do we still have to explore outside?"

Miss Metz asked, but Iluna had a different idea:

"Since the last person who left here wrote the incantation to open the door on the stone tablet, maybe there are clues to the key there. How about we smash the stone tablet, maybe the key is inside."

But Shade shook his head, and he motioned for the two of them to follow him downstairs and back to the camp on the second-to-last floor, and then asked:

"Aside from the materials and daily necessities I brought, what did everyone bring when they came?"

Iluna was accidentally acquired by a relic, and she didn’t have many things on her at the time; Emilia had her own small satchel, but nothing else; the gray wolf and the green dragon both had plans I came here wanting to learn something, so both of them have their own baggage.

As for Miss Los Metz, she was the first person to appear here, and it was she who saved Miss Bister and Miss Wilder, so everyone really didn’t know what was in her luggage. She also claimed that Most of his luggage had been thrown away before he met anyone.

Girl Gray Wolf, who seemed to be very good at organizing things, quickly divided everyone’s things, but after everyone claimed their belongings, there was actually a dark brown leather handbag left by the campfire. School bag with a long flap and buckle that looks sturdy and durable.

No one was impressed by this schoolbag, so after asking for everyone's opinions, Shade opened it and took out all the items inside:

"Pencil, eraser, dip pen, ink, notebook, book, paper, key. Found the key!"

Shade breathed a sigh of relief and showed the shiny silver key to everyone. As for the notebooks that might indicate the identity of the owner of the schoolbag, he did not open it, but put everything back as it was:

"Okay, now that you have the key, you can open the door."

Everyone hesitated to speak, but they all guessed what was going on. Miss Metz pursed her lips and looked at the key. When Shade looked at her, she nodded slightly:

"I understand, let's go."

This time, the stone slabs that were put aside automatically flew up, and dots of golden light pointed in the direction of the stairs. Shade took Miss Metz and Iluna to the end of the stairs again. The size of the small silver key matched the keyhole. After turning it gently, the surface of the black iron-colored door was revealed by the old **** [Black Robe]. The holy symbol of the Lord] was depicted.

"It's right this time."

Just as Shade was about to open the door, Miss Metz grabbed his hand again. Her expression could even be said to be a little panicked:

"I am real, right?"

"Of course you are real."

Eluna on the side answered for Shade, and then pulled away Miss Metz's hand:

"Okay, Shade, open the door."

The door is pushed inward, and the interior is the same as downstairs. However, all the furnishings here still remain as they were when the last person locked the door and left, as if no matter the passage of time or the collapse of this place. Has no effect on this layer.

The floating blackboard is suspended on the left side of the door, and dozens of cushions are placed on the ground facing the blackboard. And the **** in black robes was standing in front of the blackboard waiting for them.

Eluna stood next to Shade, not hiding like the werewolf and green dragon before. It was not the first time she saw a god, and this was a good god, so there was no need to hide.

As for Miss Metz, she put her right hand on her left shoulder and bowed forward, her voice trembling:

"My Lord."

The black-robed **** responded to them with a smile, and the stone slab floated towards? and was branded with the last holy symbol:

"Everyone has doubts. I will wait for you here. After the ceremony, let's come here together."

"Okay, we'll get there as soon as possible."

Shad nodded to the god, then took the floating stone slab and gave it to Miss Metz, then led the two of them back to the stairs. The door closed, and Iluna breathed a sigh of relief, then became excited again:

"It's finally over, isn't it? And we can also listen to the gods' lectures, which will be very interesting."

Shad was also very happy that everything went well. The last step of the ceremony was for Miss Metz to finish teaching. However, now that Miss Metz looked uneasy, Shade was a little worried about her mental state.

"Here, have a cup of tea. Drinking tea always makes people happy."

After returning downstairs again, Miss Wilder handed Miss Metz the teacup. After everyone sat down, the girl holding the tea cup calmed down a little and looked up at the people who were watching her with concern:

"No matter who I am, my Lord's ritual must be completed. I come from my Lord's sect, and most of what I know and learn is the power related to the inheritance of knowledge. Although our sect will not pursue powerful Power, but we are not a weak group. We like to use magic to ensure the spread of knowledge, but we must also use power to protect those who spread knowledge.

Most of the records recorded in "The Blessing of Books" are my Lord's magical arts. Among them, the most powerful offensive magical spell is [Gift of Knowledge]. Share the filthy and dangerous knowledge you have with your enemies and pollute their lives. spirit, damage their souls; among them, the most effective defensive magic is [Blessing of Books]. The strength of the defense is determined by the number of books you have read and the amount of knowledge you have mastered. In conjunction with the basic spell [Quick Reading] 】can quickly improve the effect of this magic.

But what I want to teach you this time is not these two powerful magic spells. We don’t have that much time. ”

After giving everyone a basic understanding of the magical arts of the [Lord of the Black Robe] Order, Miss Metz tore off the paper from the notebook and distributed it to everyone, including Emilia:

"Words are power - this is the origin of most of the magical arts I have mastered. The most advanced magical arts of the Order even allow us to directly use the magical arts that we have never learned while holding the information. Conjuration.

But this is not our focus today. It is too difficult to let everyone learn to use the power of knowledge and words in a short period of time. But there is only one type of text that everyone is most familiar with and is most likely to be directly used. ”

"Our own name!"

The Gray Wolf Witch said immediately, Miss Metz nodded, and she took the lead in writing her name on the page:

“The name represents ourselves. Whether it is when we are called by our name, we immediately realize that we are being called, or when we sign, it means that we agree with the content of the document. This can reflect the role of the name.”

She showed everyone the piece of paper she signed:

"For this reason, names, especially names written by ourselves, can be equivalent to ourselves to a certain extent. The thaumaturgy I want to teach you comes from this, but this is not a specific What you can learn from my teachings is entirely up to you.

Now, please write down your name on the paper. Remember it is your full name, and it is your real name and not a nickname. ”

"What text should I use?"

Amelia raised her hand and asked, really like asking a question in class. Miss Metz is particularly friendly to this underage girl and speaks very gently:

"Miss Siam Nord, you can use the word in which you most commonly write your name. In St. Byrons of your time, did the college require the use of human lingua franca?"

The pointy-eared elf then replied:

"Modern Elvish is also acceptable. Elvish is a necessary incantation for many modern magic spells, so everyone understands it."

The two were communicating on the sidelines, and Iluna didn't have to worry about what to use. Of course, she used the common language of Delarion. As for the gray wolf and green dragon, they don’t have to hesitate.

But this is a problem for Shad, because the stranger's name is not "Shad Suellen Hamilton" but "Shad", and the character he most commonly uses to write his name is not Delray. Ang language, but the mother tongue of my hometown.

Just looking at the piece of paper in front of him, he wrote "Shad Suellen Hamilton" after a moment's hesitation.

[Why isn’t it your real name? 】

"If I still want to go back, I will probably use this name, but now I have decided to stay. And the name is not only personal recognition, but also other people's perception of me. Now everyone in this world recognizes me. You know, they are all new names. Didn’t Agelina say that Shad is Suellen? I am Shad Suellen Hamilton."

"She" smiled softly in her ears, and after making sure everyone had written down, Miss Metz took out the ritual materials she asked Shade to prepare in advance. Because there was enough material this time, she did not just teach everyone to meditate, but actually drew the ritual matrix, but she just drew it on the papers with names written on it.

The ink used in the painting ceremony was added with everyone's blood, and the pen used was the "Wolf Hair Pen" sponsored by Miss Bister.

"Meow~"

When Shade took the pen, little Mia, who had been transformed back by Shade, immediately came up to her, sniffed it, and then yelled at the Gray Wolf girl. The latter smiled happily, probably thinking that the cat wanted to be friends with him.

After the ceremony painting was completed, everyone followed Miss Metz’s technique and folded their own papers into the shape of stars. Then she pressed it on her forehead, finally burned it to ashes, dissolved the ashes in the potion she simply prepared and drank it.

This time the cat didn't rush for a drink, and even seemed to want to stop Shade from drinking it. As expected, the potion soaked in ashes didn't taste good at all. After swallowing it with a frown, Shade immediately concentrated on Miss Metz's request and called his name thirteen times in his heart. Finally, Then he closed his eyes and meditated on his own appearance in his mind.

"When I go back, I will try again with the name 'Xia De'."

He thought in his mind, and his current appearance quickly took shape in his mind. This time it went extremely smoothly. Almost at the moment when his own appearance was completely formed in his mind, his spirit and elements were activated, and a new power was born.

[Outlander, you have sensed "enlightenment". 】

[Foreigners, thaumaturgy-"treasured things" are sublimated. 】

[Choose an inanimate ordinary object as the selected object, and use the caster's greed and cherishment of the object to make the object gain extraordinary power according to its own function and shape; engrave or write the name on objects including but not limited to machinery/ On items such as alchemy items/relics, the function of the item can only be used by you. 】

[Note that the above two effects can exist on the same object at the same time, and in this case the intensity of both effects will be enhanced; the number of effect objects on which the two effects of this thaumaturgy exist at the same time is determined by "1" It becomes unlimited, but using the effect will reduce the upper limit of the spirit, and erasing the effect will restore the upper limit of the spirit. 】
