The Whispering Verses Chapter 356: Time perception
"Professor, have you ever seen a hybrid dragon!"
The six-ring warlock, who is about the same age as Shade, raised his hand and asked, adding:
"I mean, a hybrid dragon whose blood purity is lower than 17% of the Standard & Poor's value?"
"Of course I have seen it. For this mystery, I have traveled to almost every corner of the material world since I was young. The tops of the towering snow mountains in the New World, the city of waves in the eye of the storm, the underground ruins of the New World, dragons Of course I have.”
The professor whistled, and a strong wind immediately blew above the heads of the group. When he looked up, he saw a huge winged creature flying overhead. It was not the big lizard that Shade had imagined, but instead looked like a giant pigeon with scales.
"Dragon and pigeon hybrid?"
This was a little joke that foreigners made in their hearts, and she actually laughed softly.
Professor Garcia allowed Shade and others to carefully experience the power of the Mystic Lock. After fully deploying the Mystic Lock, he asked the Ring Warlocks to try and launch a coordinated attack on him.
Because Shade could only sit down, he did not have to participate in this activity. He was responsible for recording the subsequent battle process. Of course, even if the students were not in the Mystery Lock, they would not be able to defeat this high-level warlock, and they would not be able to take any advantage inside the Mystery Lock.
So Professor Garcia deliberately controlled his power so that everyone could actually feel the pressure, but not without the ability to fight back.
This is indeed a precious elective course that can only be taken with the permission of the professors. In Shade's opinion, the experience of just four semester hours tonight was completely worth the 1,000 pounds he paid.
Not only did he see the Mystic Lock, he also saw the fighting style of the academic ring wizards. The mutual cooperation of spiritual runes, the rapid recitation of mantras, and the preparation of spellcasting materials in advance are not knowledge that can be learned from books.
The scene that impressed Shade the most was when Professor Garcia summoned a group of creatures called "iron-horned rhinos". The horns of these creatures are important alchemy materials, and their populations are distributed in the northern plains of the Old World and parts of the New World.
When a group of rhinos rushed towards Shade's classmates like crazy, they first tried to resist, and then tried their best to escape, completely subverting Shade's impression of the students of St. Teresa College. .
“Choosing a reasonable time to escape is also an important ability for a ring warlock.”
The professor beside Shade smiled and said that he was very satisfied with his course.
Interesting lessons will make time pass quickly. Tonight's lesson is the last lesson of "Closed Space".
At 8:50, Professor Garcia closed the mystery lock and allowed everyone to return to the classroom in St. Byrons. He allowed the students to jointly raise a question related to the course. After discussing with his classmates, Shade asked:
"If we unfortunately encounter a high-level warlock who masters the Mystery Lock, and fail to escape before the Mystery Lock unfolds, how should we save our lives as much as possible?"
"The best way is to forcefully break through the mystery lock. The power of space and the opposing forces of the mystery lock can do it."
Professor Garcia had obviously already thought of what they would ask.
"But we can't, Professor."
The young lady raised her hand and said.
"Then hope that your companions can delay time. Although the Mystery Lock is powerful, the consumption is also very shocking."
The professor with pointed ears said with a smile again.
"Professor, but we may not have companions."
The slightly older warlock raised his hand and said, but Professor Garcia shook his head:
"This is impossible. If a high-level magician who masters the Mystery Lock just wants to deal with one of you, there is no need to open the Mystery Lock. Do you think this is a power that can be used at any time?"
He pointed to the empty metal box on the podium:
"The casting materials I just used are worth four figures in gold pounds. If high-level warlocks want to deal with you, how can they spend so much money?"
Shad in the audience blinked. He used the Mystic Lock, which seemed to require no casting materials.
At this point, Shade’s first elective course [Closed Space] at St. Byrons has officially ended. After the class ended, Shade did not leave immediately. Instead, he mentioned to the professor that he was planning to travel through time again and hoped to buy a time key from the college.
The key symbolizing the year 2005 was completely broken. He said goodbye to Miss Feliana and the Moon Witch, and it was time for him to start a new journey.
Professor Garcia is very happy that Shade can take the initiative to mention this matter:
"Very good. It's been a month since your first investigator activity. This is a good time. Shade, don't worry this time."
"Yeah"
Xia De said nothing.
"This time I will personally select a key for you, a time key from the fifth era, to ensure that there will be no problems this time. I will give it to you through Bill Schneider during your group's meeting this weekend."
Although he promised this, based on the first experience of the investigator known to the academy and the second experience of the investigator unknown to the academy, Shade can almost guarantee that the key selected by Professor Garcia will be related to the old **** no matter what. Get involved.
So, when the time comes, Shade will still be worried about how to prepare the investigator's report.
"One more thing, professor, is there a way to enhance time perception?"
The students around him left the classroom one after another. Shade made sure that no one would hear the next conversation before asking the question that he had hidden for two days. That was actually what he wanted to ask during class yesterday.
"Enhance time perception? Do you want to experience the power of time more clearly?"
Professor Garcia packed up the lecture notes and remaining spellcasting materials:
"I remember that your thaumaturgy [Perception of Time] can enhance time perception. If you want to be stronger than this with your level, thaumaturgy and incantation will definitely not work. I recommend rituals or relics to you."
Shad asked this question because he actually wanted to enhance the effect of thaumaturgy [Perception of Time], and with the increase of divine afterglow, he wanted to detect the current real time point.
"So what rituals and relics might be useful?"
Xia De humbly asked for advice.
"There are many ways. You don't have to ask me about this, because someone has done a similar study, and I think that paper is still in the library of St. Byrons. Schade, you can go directly through Bill Schneider. When requesting access to literature from the college, I say that it is needed for my course. In this case, there is no need to spend money, and I will communicate with the library. ”
The professor said with a smile.
Xia De thanked him softly, but did not ask the professor whether it was the sixth era now. Since the witch didn't know, he was almost certain that Professor Garcia would also think that his head was broken, so he still had to find the answer himself.
"What does it mean that it is not strictly speaking the Sixth Age?"
The answer to the question may allow Shade to directly see the deepest secret of time.
Because the last question was delayed for some time, when Shade stood up from the chair in the guest room of Sophia's mansion, it was already half past nine in the evening. At this time, Lesia should still be attending the big witch's dinner party in the city, so the fishing rod was naturally taken away by the princess.
It was still storming outside, and Shade wanted to wait until Lesia came back and confirmed her safety before going to bed, so he sat at the desk again, planning to complete part of his course report.
Before starting to write the report, he also asked the servants for a cup of hot tea. But before the cup of tea could be delivered, the maid Lecia left for him ran over quickly and told Shade that someone had tried to break into Sophia's mansion. After being discovered by the guards of the mansion, the two sides were fighting inside and outside the fence on the east side of the mansion. Shootout.
"What? Gunfight? How many people are there on the other side?"
Under the light of the classical lotus leaf-shaped gas table lamp, Shade put down the pen in his hand in surprise.
Sofia Mansion is the royal family's estate. During Lesia's stay, not only were the princess's guards and the police of Coldwater Port responsible for security issues, but the Navy of Coldwater Port also sent a troop of 200 troops to be stationed nearby in order to prepare for unexpected situations. happened.
And now there are actually people who can start a gun battle with the guards of Sophia's mansion, so the opponent's number is definitely not low.
"Sir, there are about 30 people on the other side, but the firepower is very strong. It is raining heavily now, and we are not sure how many people are outside the mansion, so the people cannot be concentrated in one direction. Colonel Harms asked me to notify the people in the mansion People, go and don’t leave the building.”
Colonel Harms is the leader of the Princess Guards. He is a 40-year-old active-duty Royal Army colonel and is very trusted by Lesia.
"Who is the enemy?"
Xia De stood up and asked, walked to the window and looked outside. In the deep rainy night, faint gunshots could be vaguely heard, as well as lights that lit up from time to time in the distance.
"Sorry sir, we don't know this yet. But you must not leave here."
After saying that, the maid left in a hurry. The mansion was attacked, and she had to help Lesia hide some sensitive documents to prevent anyone from actually breaking in.
Shad felt baffled by what was happening at this time, but thinking of Lesia's status as a princess and the assassination of King Diana on the street last month, he couldn't help but suspect that this was another political assassination or other political incident.
But now Lesia is not in the mansion at all, so Shade doesn't have to worry about her safety. It was just the gunshots that rang out from time to time outside that kept him from writing his course report.
I simply stood by the window and looked outside, trying to see something in the dark courtyard of the mansion.
It was bright inside and dark outside, making the glass look like a mirror, reflecting Shade's face. He looked at his face on the glass and became even more troubled by the complicated situation in Coldwater Port:
"Lecia's life turns out to be like this!"
The bullet in the distance actually hit the glass in front of Shade, but because the bullet almost reached the flight limit, it could not penetrate the glass at all. But even so, Xia De was shocked.
He was not killed even if he was shot from the front on the street. It would be an injustice if he died from a stray bullet on a rainy night.
He immediately left the window, thought about it again, and simply left the room, planning to wait in the study. In addition to Lesia's current bedroom and the room specially prepared for King Larus III, the Fire Jumper, the safest room in Sophia's mansion is actually the study.
