The Whispering Verses Chapter 1617: Group tasks and the cursed mirror (asking for votes)

Shadow did not stay long with Mr. Edmond and left before dinner. When he got home, he was still wondering whether the water ghost pheromones on his body would be smelled by Mia. The fact is that until Shade finished taking a bath again, Xiao Mia was avoiding Shade like a smelly salted fish.

The following Saturday, Shade still failed to receive a letter from the pharmacist from the Green Lake Hotel. If she hadn't still asked someone to send a message to Xia De to wait, Xia De would have even thought about trying to find her by himself.

Saturday is the time for the team meeting, so apart from going to the Green Lake Hotel in the morning to inquire about the situation, Shade has no other travel plans. After returning from Green Lake, he spent the entire morning writing his book report at home. After lunch with Mia, he went to the doctor's clinic.

When he met Priest August, he thought again that the "Angel Finger Bone" matter in the Green Lake area had not been dealt with. The tomb robbers who sold the angel finger bones to Hela Oxenfurt's father were originally from Michaela Blast Furnace City, but now Shade has no clue about this. After all, he really knows nothing about those tomb robbers.

On the 12th day of the Sowing Month, spring has finally arrived. Each week you meet the rest of the group, everyone's clothing will change. On this afternoon, the doctor wearing a dark blue long-sleeved shirt talked with the other four people in the group about his recent plan to organize a group activity:

"Yes, the five of us act together. Since Shade joined our group, except for the time at Lakeview Manor, we have rarely carried out group activities."

The doctor distributed the paper in his hand to the four people. This is the college’s reward order:

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal, and I'm not asking you to attend the banquet at Lakeview Manor again. Compared with last year when Shade was away, the strength of our team has been greatly improved, and it can even be said to be a trustworthy one. The strongest correspondence group of ring warlocks in the Besk area. I have accepted a bounty related to our area from the academy, and you will definitely be satisfied with the reward."

Shad took the document from the doctor and placed it on the cat taking a nap on his lap:

"There will be a steam train next Thursday, bringing a coffin from the south. Let us pick it up at the train station at night and protect it before dawn?"

He scanned the document in surprise:

"It is said here that the information on the coffin involves top-secret information of the college. We will only know it on Thursday evening. This is really new. Even after accepting the task, we did not explain what the situation was."

"This type of task of helping the academy pick up and deliver goods is rare, but once it appears, it means rich rewards. Of course, the risks cannot be underestimated. The task description says that in addition to the dangers of the coffin itself, there are also Be careful of the Ring Warlock coming after the coffin."

The doctor briefly introduced:

"The coffin seems to have been shipped from overseas. My acquaintances in St. Byrons said that this thing is very important. If it is not a special period, the high-level warlocks of the academy cannot freely enter a big city like Tobesk. Moreover, the college does not want the church to know that we have brought such dangerous things to Tobesk, and this task does not fall on the shoulders of correspondence students."

"It sounds like it's no small matter. What will happen to the coffin in the future?"

Priest August asked curiously.

"We will protect it until dawn, and then someone else will take over and transport it out of Tobesk, and it will have nothing to do with us after that."

The doctor obviously inquired in detail:

"The people who came to pick up the goods were not people from the academy, but high-level magicians from other groups of magicians who cooperated with the academy. As long as we wait until the other party comes, anything that happens after that will have nothing to do with us."

"This mission sounds pretty good. It reminds me of the mission we took on in the winter of 1852 to protect a sage-level relic. Later I remembered that I hid the relic on the third floor of the Prophet's Association. There should be no way to hide the coffin this time in the comments mailbox outside the chief's office.

Luvia commented, tossing a coin for a simple divination:

"Fate tells me that it doesn't look very dangerous. The reward for this mission is...cash, credits and a Keeper-level relic?"

"What relic?"

The blonde writer asked while looking at the document in her hand, and then turned to the last page:

"Oh, it turns out it was written at the end. The Keeper-level relic [Mind Mirror]? Doctor, this sounds like a good fit for you."

"Yes, this is very important to me. After the mission is over, this relic belongs to me, and I will compensate you. How about it, do you want to participate?"

The doctor asked everyone eagerly, Shade thought for a moment:

"I should have nothing to do on Thursday night, I can attend."

"Can you estimate how strong the strongest enemy is?"

The old priest did not give an immediate answer, but asked a safe question.

"At most, it is the middle level. The probability of a high level is very small, and the college will give us a batch of supplies to help us complete the mission... If the supplies are not used up, there is no need to return them."

The doctor said, and Priest Augustus smiled and nodded:

"Originally I was going to attend a dinner party, but I can turn it down. No problem, I will attend. I will prepare a batch of useful potions in advance."

"It's okay for me. It's good to participate in group activities occasionally, which helps to strengthen cohesion. After I was promoted to the middle ring, I haven't seriously dealt with the battle of the ring warlock. This opportunity is very good."

Dorothy also said that of course Luvia said she was fine.

"Okay, more specific news will be given to you later. Everyone will gather at my place next Thursday afternoon, and then go to the Tobesk train station together. Yes, it was Shade who was shot last summer. ”

"Doctor, you can actually use other landmarks to illustrate the location."

Xia De, who was touching Xiao Mia, said helplessly.

In the group meeting that afternoon, in addition to this matter, the doctor mentioned the summer exam week as usual.

Although it may seem like the winter exam week has just passed, it is actually the middle of April. According to the tradition of summer exams in July and August every year, more than half of the first half of the school year has passed.

"Has it been that long?"

Luvia asked in surprise:

"I thought it was just the beginning of the school year."

"Don't always rush to review in June."

The blue-eyed psychiatrist shook his head:

"After taking care of those electives, let's start preparing for the final thesis. Last winter, our group's results were pretty good. I don't want anyone to say that they may have failed after the summer exams. But, then After all, it will happen two or three months later, and there have been no major events at the academy recently. It’s just that during the co-investigation of the riding competition around the city, the notice of the foreign ring warlock visiting the local area has just been sent, and I don’t know what the academy wants to investigate. "

"Probably the Mirror Association."

Priest Augustus polished his pipe and said, so the doctor asked again:

"Priest, after the people from the Mirror Association were caught, has the [Faceless Man] been taken into custody?"

"No, this humanoid relic voluntarily left the local area and is now wandering in the wild. It should soon complete its self-containment. This has nothing to do with us."

It was Luvia who gave the answer:

"But there is no news about another [if] that is suspected to be an unknown (level 0) relic. [If] came to this city by himself and has nothing to do with the Mirror Association, and I don’t know where it is now. ."

"The unknowable relics are too far away from us, so let's talk about the Mirror Association. Speaking of which, they and I have a history."

The doctor said something surprising in a casual tone. Priest August stopped wiping his pipe, Luvia put down the coins in her hand, Dorothy sat upright while leaning on the sofa, and Shade also took his hands away from Mia.

The doctor did not expect everyone to have such a big reaction, he asked doubtfully:

"Haven't I mentioned this before?"

"No."

The blond female writer with the second most seniority in the group shook her head:

"That should have been before I joined the group, right? I haven't heard you mention it either."

"Doctor, tell us what that is."

Xia De then encouraged:

"Maybe we will meet people from the Mirror Association and tell us your and their stories."

"Yes, Bill, let's hear your story too."

Priest August also urged.

So Bill Schneider nodded and said rather sadly:

"It was probably more than ten years ago. I have forgotten the specific time. At that time, I went to... deal with a very dangerous ancient creature."

He winked at Shade, who was obviously one of the demons the doctor hunted and devoured in the past.

"Not locally, but in a small town northeast of Delarion. At that time, the Mirror Association also took a fancy to that dangerous ancient evil thing, but unlike me who wanted to kill it, the Mirror Association wanted to use a mirror Seal it."

The doctor also explained to everyone about the Mirror Association:

"They possess an ancient angel-level (level 1) relic [Mirror of the Curse of Fasha]. That mirror can seal non-humanoid creatures and use the mirror to release their mirror images to fight. It is very practical. Relic. The Mirror Association relied on the Thirteenth Ring Mirror Hidden Man and this mirror to be able to operate as an illegal ring warlock organization in the Old Continent for a long time in such a peaceful era. Otherwise, they would be forced to flee like the [Blood Spirit School]. The end of the New World."

The ability of this mirror reminded Shade of the card he brought from [The Past and the Sixth Age].

"Doctor, were the enemies you encountered back then very strong?"

Dorothy asked with great interest, and the doctor nodded:

"Needless to say, I met a high-level warlock in a small town, two middle-level warlocks, and a pair of twin brothers with strange abilities."

Hearing "twins", Shade instinctively paid attention.
