The Whispering Verses Chapter 203: Final whereabouts

"Shad, you are right to choose to keep the secret, because apart from the fact that I can guarantee that I will not lose control, I can't tell what the problem is with Dorothy, the doctor and the priest. My idea is that this It's enough for you to tell me. Don't tell them about this before you know what kind of danger they are in. After all, the purpose of the academy is not to spy on the secrets, but to protect them."

"I understand."

Shad nodded. Dr. Schneider must not tell him, because there is a high probability that he really has a devil in his heart. This is no joke. We don’t know much about the priest’s situation, and it’s not convenient to take further action at the moment. As for Miss Louisa, his plan was to wait until Princess Lesia Cavendish returned to Tobesk to meet and confirm that there was nothing wrong with the princess at close range before he considered telling her about it.

"However, Miss Carina is Princess Lesia's elder. Will she know about this princess...Miss Carina is the king's aunt, and the princess is the king's daughter. This How should the relationship between the two be calculated? ”

He was calculating this complicated relationship in his mind, while on the surface he was calmly catering to Miss Anat's words.

Miss Anat seems a little worried about Dr. Schneider. In her impression, the doctor has never shown any problems:

"If I can still have some spare time after divining Miss Bayas's price, I will check the doctor's condition."

She sighed and said, Shade hesitated:

"Actually...I know a little bit about doctors."

Then he explained the smell of sulfur when he witnessed the "Word of Sublimation" in Lakeview Manor, and what he heard when he used the thaumaturgy [Echoes of the Past] in the doctor's bedroom.

"Conservatively estimated, there is a high probability that it is the devil."

He also borrowed Miss Anat's sentence patterns, which made Miss Anat even more uneasy. Whether in the culture of foreigners or in this world where the supernatural and mysterious truly exist, demons have always been synonymous with extreme danger and evil.

"I've known him for so long, and I really don't have any clues about him."

Miss Anat leaned on the sofa and sighed, Shade hugged the squirming cat and said:

"Even the college is not sure what is in the doctor's mind, and it is normal that we can't see it. But tomorrow the librarian, Ms. Danister, is going to see me. If I remember correctly, this lady should be The Thirteenth Ring Warlock of the Academy? I remember being called the Red Moon Witch? Will she discover the doctor's problem?"

Miss Anat shook her head:

"Shad, I want to add some common sense to you. Generally speaking, there is no need to meet with the librarian to view the Tome of Ascension."

"Huh?"

Xia De stopped touching the cat in surprise.

"Even if you apply for inspection in advance, it stands to reason that there is no need for the Thirteenth Ring Warlock to make a special trip to meet you, because it is a trivial matter. There must be other problems here, and you must be prepared. Danister The lady most likely doesn’t come to see you, but you go to see her.”

There is an essential difference between these two statements.

"Should I see her?"

Xia De was a little uneasy, and thought of the secret of the witch that he had just learned not long ago, so he asked:

"Since Miss Daniste is called the 'Red Moon Witch', is she a member of the Witches' Council?"

Miss Anat couldn’t help laughing:

"Shad, why do you think so? Of course Miss Daniste is not a member of the Witch Council. The word witch has been passed down from the previous era and refers to a powerful lady. Although everyone in the Witch Council has a witch title, but having this title does not necessarily mean you are a witch."

Xia De nodded and said:

"I had this idea because something happened not long ago... I still remember when I talked about what happened that night at Lakeview Manor, I mentioned that I overheard something near the stable. , did anyone mention that the Great Witch of the Witch Council came to Tobesk? In fact, I met that woman once, and she was very weird."

"The great witches in the Witch Council all hate men. Shade, you'd better stay away from them. This is for your own good."

Miss Anat stood up and put the cube box back into the paper bag:

"I'll see you alone after I divine the special ceremony for Bayas to become the chosen one. Then, let's meet at the doctor's tomorrow afternoon. You don't have to worry too much. I heard Miss Danister He is a very good person. Be happy, you will probably become a second-level warlock soon."

Becoming a second-level warlock requires spiritual runes belonging to different elements. When you are promoted, you need to inform the academy of the details of the spiritual runes so that the academy can adjust the curriculum for the next grade.

For Shade, both [Gluttony] and [Echo] can be told to the academy, but once the [Little Match Girl] is known to a third person, he may be in trouble.

In order to protect his secret and avoid any accidents, Shade visited Miss Louisa again on Saturday morning for help.

The blond female writer has thought of this a long time ago and made arrangements for Shade:

"The language used in the spirit runes is extremely ancient, and even the academy may not be able to decipher it. And complex runes like [Little Match Girl] have to consider grammar and person, making it even more difficult to understand. So, you don’t have to worry about being spotted by others. As for reporting it, you tell the academy that the meaning of this rune is [Girl Holding Matches], and you obtained it with my help.”

The two runes have similar meanings, but they have completely different meanings for the Ring Warlock.

Miss Louisa's arrangement is very good, and it can be regarded as solving a big trouble for Shade.

While Shade was thanking him, she tilted her head and looked at the clock in the corner of her apartment, and then invited Shade to have lunch with her. I have to go to the doctor in the afternoon and my first lecture in the evening.

The two will probably be together this Saturday, and Miss Louisa has already prepared the content of her first "teaching".

After lunch, Shade and Miss Louisa went to Dr. Schneider's psychological clinic in a carriage. The doctor was not there when he arrived. He had gone out for consultation, but the priest Augustus was there.

The priest is busy with the work of the Feast of Holy Prayer, but he still attends the study meeting on time, which makes him look a little tired. As soon as he saw Xia De, he said regretfully:

"So sorry, Detective."

"What's wrong?"

Xia De's expression changed, thinking something had happened.

"I've searched the entire library but there's no clue about the ancient symbol you asked me to help find."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, priest... you really scared me. That symbol is not important, don't keep it in your heart."

He sat down while patting his chest, and the three of them waited for the doctor to come back. Taking advantage of this period of time, Priest August told Miss Louisa about Shad's baptism into Christianity yesterday.

The female writer thinks that Shade made the right choice:

"Maybe the church will be able to help you sometime. Since we live in a civilized world, we cannot avoid dealing with the church."

Dr. Schneider hurried back to the clinic at two o'clock in the afternoon and kept apologizing to the three people for being late. Miss Anat appeared even later, at half past two.

The doctor was delayed for some time because he went out for consultation, but Miss Anat did not mention the reason for her lateness. Shade guessed that it had something to do with Miss Bayas.

After all five people arrived, Shade recounted his magical experience on Wednesday. Although the doctor was present at the time, he was the last to know the cause and effect of the whole incident.

Shad did not say that the voice in his head used the [Twenty-sided Dice of Destiny], but only claimed that it used the power of the relic. Doctors expressed concern:

"Don't use relics lightly."

This tone was exactly the same as last Saturday when Professor Roentgen warned him not to use the power of sublimated words easily.

Everyone had their own different experiences during the week, but except for Shade, only Dr. Schneider's story was worth talking about. Miss Louisa claimed that she had been immersed in studying all week, while Father Augustus was busy with the religious celebration at the end of the month. Miss Anat must have been involved with Miss Bayas, but this matter could not be mentioned, so she claimed My week was quite boring, and then I mentioned that the president of the Tobesk branch of the Prophets Association had returned to the city, and never spoke again.

What Dr. Schneider experienced was far less exciting than Shade. He got further clues about the [Forged Philosopher's Stone] on Monday's rainy night, so he went out every night this week, first based on what he got from the killer. Use clues to find other people closely related to [Mercury Blood], and then from the closely related people, find people with a closer relationship, and then find people with an even closer relationship.

If the [Watermark Blood] organization is a big net hidden under the surging water surface of Tobesk, then what the doctor does this week is to keep looking for the highest point of the net.

From Tuesday night to Friday night, he visited the dreams of a total of 23 people, including even a first-level warlock, covering the towns around Tobeskhan.

This is why the doctor looks even more tired than Priest Augustus.

"Although the doctor's frontal combat ability is not strong, if he were to be an agent, he probably wouldn't be able to hide any secrets."

Xia De couldn't help but think.

"The good news is that I finally found where the [fake Philosopher's Stone] was hidden."

The doctor finally announced after describing his complicated and difficult search journey. Priest Augustus patted the back of his left hand several times with his right palm in celebration. Miss Louisa waited for the answer with expectant eyes, Miss Anat smiled and congratulated, and Shade lamented that this was really not easy.

From the first time I met the doctor three weeks ago to now, this [relic] has finally been found.

"But what's the bad news?"

Shad asked, Dr. Schneider shrugged:

"[The Counterfeit Philosopher's Stone] is one of the most important items for synthesizing the blood of mercury, so it was hidden by the Silver Eyed Man in a very clever way. The one-ring warlock I mentioned is responsible for this, and he has A plaster statue workshop. I learned from his dream that he poured the liquid [fake Philosopher's Stone] into red glass, then made the eyes of the plaster statue, and mixed them with the workshop's products for sale. There are five suspect statues in total, and no one knows which one is hidden except the one with silver eyes."
