The Whispering Verses Chapter 62: The value of literacy
"So after reading this book, do you feel like you have a headache?"
Dr. Schneider asked again.
"Is there any? Probably..."
He observed the expressions of the two people:
"Probably, I fell asleep after reading it."
Xia De said hesitantly. In fact, he stayed up too late to play with Mia and lost some time at IndoMTL.com~, so he fell asleep. It is true that I have a headache, but most likely it is because I went to bed too late and was woken up too early in the morning by a hungry cat.
"This is normal. Reading these books with crazy knowledge will be affected. Even if the ring warlock has another self that blocks the direct power of knowledge, the ring warlock himself will still be affected. Shade, in fact, you Don’t be impatient, obtaining spiritual runes requires a process.”
The doctor comforted him kindly, Shade closed his mouth and nodded, and asked in his heart:
"My spirit is strong, and you are still helping me block those influences."
【You are me, I am you, there is no difference. 】
At the study meeting, Shade could only understand half of what Dr. Schneider and Miss Louisa raised about the difficulties encountered in the learning of ring warlocks.
Dr. Schneider recently participated in an elective course called "Aether Mechanics". The course itself is only open to warlocks above the fifth ring, but it does not teach power and only studies theory. The standard name of the course should be "The Mechanics of Spirit", which is the study of the interaction and interaction between spirit and matter that exists in idealism.
But Professor Rutherford, who teaches this course, likes the other name for spirit in the past era, which is "ether", so the course name is ether mechanics.
This course is very difficult to understand and is at the forefront of the Ringman's theoretical courses. Of course, the doctor was not interested in theoretical research, and he was not interested in the course itself. He just wanted to get acquainted with Professor Rutherford.
This professor from the School of History is quite powerful. He has considerable attainments in the thaumaturgy of time and space. Shade will also have contact with him in his senior year.
Dr. Schneider was almost completely unable to understand the content of the course. While doubting his own intelligence, he hoped to discuss "completely different theories of the spirit", "Hilbert's ether space" and "Hilbert's ether space" with Miss Louisa, who was a grade below him. Look for new ideas on topics such as "Appearance Changes".
Shadow believed that Miss Louisa's blank expression at that time was very similar to his initial foray into the field of occult theory.
Compared to the doctor who overestimated his ability and took "Aether Mechanics" and fell into deep distress as a result, Miss Louisa's problem was much simpler.
She is preparing for the exam season in July and plans to complete her fourth grade non-practical courses. Therefore, recently I have even temporarily put aside my main business, that is, the writing of novels, and focused on reciting and understanding the theoretical knowledge.
The biggest problem for the blond writer right now is ancient languages. Courses like Shad's are just introductory, but Miss Louisa is already applying them in practice.
She has learned that the approximate content of the exam will be chosen from the book "The Four Elements of Chase: Wind and Fire". This book is written in the southern tribal language of the fourth season - Xiaweike language, and the book itself is also an inscription element. One of the occult books on [Wind] and [Fire].
Miss Louisa hoped that the doctor could help her with a preliminary translation of this thick book of more than 100 pages, but the doctor just heard the title and immediately shook his head:
"I have studied more than a dozen ancient languages, and I have all passed the exam with passing scores. Louisa, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't help you."
He was obviously thinking of the scene when he was preparing for the ancient Chinese exam many years ago, and he was running away from the book in Miss Louisa's hand.
Xia De, who was sitting aside, took advantage of the two people to argue about how to pass the exam. He stretched out his head and glanced at the old blue ink handwritten book that was opened to page 29.
He immediately understood the content of less than 200 runes on both sides, which roughly described the story of the anthropomorphic wind element traveling in the Abyss of Madness.
Feeling a slight pain in his temples, Shade looked away. Sure enough, he once again understood a language he didn't understand at all, but the power of language itself was hurting him.
"I think I can help you translate."
Xia De said softly.
The so-called "golden finger" of a stranger in this world is the special ability. Apart from the woman with a nice laugh in his head, the only thing he can do is to be able to understand all languages. This ability is quite dangerous, because the older and more mysterious the language, the more dangerous it is. Not long ago, the loss of control of the poet-level relic [Dark Box] is a good example. Maybe one day Shade will be killed because he failed to translate it. Something to be translated, and his head exploded and he died.
But for the learning of ring wizards, this ability is quite useful. He considered hiding this from everyone, but obviously exposing part of the secret would give him more benefits.
"Xia De, do you understand?"
Dr. Schneider asked hesitantly. He had just leaned back on the sofa because he wanted to avoid the pen and paper handed over by Miss Louisa. At this time, he sat upright and pointed to a rune on the page:
"What does this mean?"
"Abyss."
Xia De said, then looked at the doctor, and the doctor looked at the writer:
"Is the translation correct? I'm just passing the level, I can't understand these."
"Probably...right."
Not even a passing grade, Ms. Louisa said:
"But how do you understand this?"
"I don't know either. Just now the [Time and Space] spirit rune suddenly flashed on the life ring...and then the 'other me' reminded me that I understand this language."
The doctor and the writer both showed expressions of realization:
"The moment you came into contact with the ancient language, the power of [time and space] guided you to obtain the knowledge of the past. It turned out to be like this."
They gave Shad an explanation.
This is not nonsense, because spiritual runes do sometimes work on their own without being touched at all.
"So, Mr. Hamilton, can you help me translate this book?"
Miss Louisa handed the pen and paper to Shade again:
"Two weeks, before mid-July, just a simple translation, no need to be very precise. On the one hand, it is for your mental health. I don't want the ring warlocks in the same group to lose control because of my exam; on the other hand, it is for your mental health. , if I get a particularly good score, I won’t be able to answer the professor’s questions at all.”
She is very thoughtful.
"I think two weeks should be fine."
Xia De nodded, and the blonde writer finally showed a relieved smile:
"I won't let you do it in vain. I can give you a rare spell [Frog's Leap]. This can give you stronger jumping ability in a short period of time, except for the disgusting frog. Apart from using the legs as a casting material, this has almost no disadvantages. This is a very rare spell. When I donated it to the school library, I received two practical credits at one time."
Of course Shade didn't refuse.
