The Whispering Verses Chapter 140: Echo and Jump


The thaumaturgy of time [Future Sight] sounds quite amazing, but it is too dangerous for him at the first level, and the benefits are not proportional to the danger:

"I'd like to hear the remaining two."

Shadow is cautious.

"The second thaumaturgy is [Echoes of the Past]. You can randomly hear the sounds that have appeared in a certain area within 24 hours. The extended time and clarity still depend on your level and your knowledge of runes. It depends on understanding, but the timing of hearing it depends entirely on luck.”

"Randomly heard?"

"Yes, but the thaumaturgy itself has been improved, and the probability of hearing human voices is very high when used. In other words, if a human voice only appears once in a certain area within 24 hours, then you The possibility of hearing this sound directly is very high.”

Professor Garcia explained, then added:

"Because it is easier to look into the past than to look into the future, even if you are a ring, using this thaumaturgy will have very good effects. This is much more useful than divination, and the results of divination will not be so clear. ”

Professor Garcia seemed to have some opinions about the School of Astronomy, which reminded Shade of the prophecy related to "blood" brought by Professor Sanchez during the last meeting. Now it seems that whether it is the Rhodes card or staying away from blood, the prediction is extremely accurate.

"Is this thaumaturgy harmful to hearing?"

Xia De asked.

"You can look at the catalog in your hand, which contains detailed introductions. The answer is harmless, as long as it is not turned on for a long time. So, even if you don't get lucky once, you can try multiple times."

Shad nodded again, this thaumaturgy is quite good. It is useful for both detective careers and ring magician adventures, but unfortunately it is not a damage-type ability, and it relies too much on luck.

"But why do I need so many damage-related abilities? Silver Moon Slash is enough for now, and the [Father of the Infinite Tree] quest reward also has a thaumaturgy."

He said silently in his heart.

"There is also the last item, [Laleg's Jump]. The effect is very simple, space jump."

Professor Garcia said it in an understatement, and Shade immediately cheered up. This is really good.

But the professor shook his head and told him not to get excited:

"The material world is relatively safe, but in the narrow gap between space and time, there is danger almost everywhere. This is why time and space abilities are more dangerous than other thaumaturgy. [Laleg's Jump] , can only be used by the holder of the rune of [Space] or the concept of upward extension, and no matter who uses it, they can only move within 10 feet (about 3.04 meters), and must have direct sight of the target location. ”

"This is not bad."

A smile appeared on Shade's face.

"Using thaumaturgy is very expensive, and in order not to attract strange things, the user must strictly abide by the rule that it can only be used once per hour. This ability was not originally open to correspondence magicians. The second time is that the two rewards are superimposed. I will help you fight for them before they appear in your directory."

Although he repeatedly mentioned the dangers, Professor Garcia obviously recommended this, because his attitude towards [Future Vision] was barely concealed.

So actually Xia De doesn’t have to choose, the answer is right in front of him.

But I still pretended to think about it for a while before making a serious determination expression:

"Professor Garcia, I think [Echoes of the Past] and [Raglai's Jump] are more suitable for me."

Professor Garcia smiled and nodded:

"It's just as I thought. In addition, your [Time Perception] thaumaturgy learning materials are also ready."

He pointed to the poem page belonging to the doctor on the table. After the light flashed, a large number of glass bottles containing various medicines and materials appeared.

The learning materials for [Time Perception] are a century-old pocket watch and a specimen of a rare plant called the "Four-leaf Clock Flower". The latter is only found in the New World, and the shape of the stamens strictly follows time. Variety.

Shad learned the thaumaturgy on the spot and pressed the clock flower specimen on his left chest and the pocket watch on his right chest. When I closed my eyes and listened to the beating of the hands for a moment, the antique pocket watch quickly corroded, and the specimen turned into a pinch of black ash.

From then on, the pocket watch became a decorative item for Shade. He no longer had to go to the bedside to touch the pocket watch as soon as he woke up.

[Echoes of the Past] The required learning materials are two live bugs called "Stone Bell Bugs". One of the two bugs is completely black, and the other is completely white. Shade needs to stuff two live bugs into his ears...

"Are you sure you really want to do this?"

Shad held the small glass jar containing the bugs and watched the two bugs squirming constantly, with their short legs shaking densely. Then he looked at the professor in disbelief. He didn't even want to touch them.

"Pretty sure."

The professor nodded, indicating that Shade could continue.

Shad didn't want to recall what happened and how he felt in the next few seconds, but he still learned this magic trick.

This thaumaturgy also requires no casting materials, so it can be used immediately.

The elemental pulling spirit flows in the life ring. As the [Time and Space] runes flash, Shade's ears buzz, and then Dr. Schneider's clear words are heard. He is very emotional when he speaks. Excited:

"I will spend my whole life guarding you."

"Huh?"

Xia De, who listened to the past voice, raised his eyebrows.

The use of thaumaturgy did not stop, so the sounds continued to come. The next sentence was still spoken by the doctor's voice, but it was not lingua franca. The language was like a knife rubbing bones, like maggots squirming on a corpse, and more like the gurgling of magma in the lowest abyss.

Shad believes that if it were not for the "divine afterglow" state protecting him, he would never be able to remain calm in front of Professor Garcia:

"Schneider, the world is destined to be destroyed! Your soul is destined to belong to me!"

The strong headache made Shade instinctively turn off the use of thaumaturgy. His breathing rate increased, and he actually felt the smell of sulfur in his nasal cavity.

Just by hearing that weird and terrifying language across time through thaumaturgy, he felt so uncomfortable. That language itself was probably the power in the mysterious system.

[From the current point of view, you can't help him. 】

"Yes, I can't help now."

He responded in his heart, and the woman seemed to see his determination and just chuckled. That laughter healed the trauma in her heart caused by listening to the unknown and terrifying language, and Shade loved her laughter.

Professor Garcia didn’t know what Shade had just heard. He was talking about thaumaturgy [Ragrai’s Jump]. This thaumaturgy was created by the cyclomancers of the Serkses Higher Medical School at the end of the Fifth Age. It is a rare ability that allows the cyclomancers themselves to perform low-risk space jumps.

The power lies not in the close movement distance, but in the "low risk". The name of the inventor of thaumaturgy was directly recorded in the history of the three major thaumaturgy academies.

There are three core materials required for learning [Raglai's Jump], among which "obsidian located in the space crack zone" and "Hass Hound's leg bone grinding powder" are all available in the academy and were also sent together. But the last one, the three "weathervane bluegrass", is not available for the time being.
