The Whispering Verses Chapter 362: Inherited wishes

"No, this is not a scam."

Mr. Madison shook his head while holding the wine glass:

"Thaumatology is definitely real. As for whether the ritual is really so complicated, I don't know. I only know that the last guy who learned this thaumaturgy did the same thing. That is a story, a story It’s describing the ritual itself.”

Xia De is very familiar with this kind of thing, and the return ceremony of the sea is also hidden in nursery rhymes.

"In fact, there is reason to suspect that most fairy tales, ballads and poems handed down from ancient times contain hidden elements of occultism."

"You are lucky, it is Shade who comes to investigate, but what are you going to do next? Since the church has noticed you, even if the spice itself is not a problem, sooner or later you will be focused on."

The doctor asked again, and Mr. Madison sighed:

"Then I can only leave Psalm Square temporarily and go to the countryside to sell spices. It took a lot of effort to find such a good place. In order not to pay protection fees to the gangs, I...forget it, it's safe. The most important thing is to get up early every day and go to the countryside to work as a traveling businessman. When you write the investigation report, please just write that I suddenly disappeared, so that your friends will not get into trouble, and neither will I. Cause trouble."

"No problem."

Xia De nodded, and the doctor asked:

"What is the effect of your thaumaturgy?"

Only true friends can ask this kind of question. Mr. Madison didn’t care that Shade was present and sighed and said:

"[Businessman Instinct] corresponds to the spiritual rune [Trade]. This is a passive form of thaumaturgy. Once I master this, I will be able to subconsciously discuss the price of goods with anyone in the future, whether buying or selling. Know the other party’s psychological price. ”

Dr. Schneider and the stranger looked at each other with envy and surprise.

Mr. Madison, the six-ring warlock, is proficient in alchemy, but his own combat ability is not particularly outstanding. He and Dr. Schneider have known each other for many years. To be precise, Mr. Madison has known Dr. Schneider since he was only a first-level sorcerer.

Speaking of this matter, Shade was a little curious about how Dr. Schneider's team was established. After all, when others in the group join, the senior person in the group is always Dr. Schneider.

It’s just that the doctor didn’t seem to want to talk about it, and Shade didn’t feel like asking more. When the doctor drank too much tea and got up to solve personal problems, Mr. Madison, who was wearing a turban, told Shade in a low voice:

"When I met Schneider, there were actually three people in your group. In addition to Schneider, who only had one level at that time, there was also a three-level warlock and an eight-level warlock in the group."

"Eight rings?"

Xia De looked at this gentleman in surprise:

"I thought the correspondence magicians could only have six or seven rings at most."

"I don't know the specific situation, but that man was the most powerful correspondence ring magician in Tobesk fifteen years ago. I even heard Schneider say that that gentleman was already interested in being promoted to the ninth level in Tobesk. After entering St. Byrons, I applied for tenure directly. ”

When talking about this incident, the middle-aged man wearing a turban still felt very sad:

"It's amazing."

The rules of the three major colleges are basically the same, and the rules for going to the colleges are also the same. In other words, the people with the highest levels in the group will be happy to look for new talents when the group is insufficient. Therefore, it is very rare for correspondence magicians who are ready to be promoted to high levels to appear.

"What happened next? Mr. Madison, to be honest, I haven't heard anyone talk about it. I always thought it was the doctor who built our group from scratch."

"No, no, he is also a talent found by his predecessors. As for the two who are more senior than Schneider..."

He quietly stretched his head to look in the direction of the corridor, and then whispered:

"Schneider never mentioned it on his own initiative, and you don't want to say it was me who said it. There was a famous local incident more than ten years ago. Two of the more senior ring warlocks in your group died in that accident. It is said that the gentleman with the eighth ring and the lady with the third ring are in a relationship, and the gentleman’s lifelong dream is to enter St. Byron’s and become a teacher.”

Mr. Madison paused for a moment, shaking the wine glass in his hand rather melancholy, looking at the beer foaming:

"I happened not to be in Tobesk when that incident happened, and later I heard rumors that it was those two people who saved Schneider, who only had one ring at the time. This hit him very hard, even the ring warlock's As a result, his studies fell a lot, and he was not very willing to recruit new team members. Later, Schneider vowed to inherit that gentleman's wish and go to St. Byrons to become a professor..."

He sighed, and Shade looked at him in surprise.

"Otherwise, Mr. Hamilton, why do you think Bill Schneider, who had a successful career in Tobesk, was so determined to go to St. Byrons?"

Mr. Madison shook his head:

"Sometimes, inheriting other people's wishes is more terrifying than having your own wishes."

Xia De speculated on the last sentence:

"Who said this?"

"I said so."

Mr. Madison said, then continued the story:

"Let me tell you what happened more than ten years ago. What happened that year was only worse than this year. Someone opened a level 0 relic in the city. Hamilton, you Do you know level 0? Then evil..."

"What are you talking about?"

The doctor came over and asked with a smile. He probably didn't hear what the two were saying.

"Rhodes, we are talking about Rhodes!"

Shad said immediately, and then winked at Mr. Madison. The middle-aged man wearing a turban understood:

"Yes, we were just talking about Rhodes. I told Mr. Hamilton that the owner of this hotel is also a master of Rhodes, and he likes to gamble with others using special cards."

"Oh, Shade, don't forget what Priest August said, don't be addicted to gambling."

The doctor said worriedly that what happened just now was considered a fool.

Adult men all have their own things to do, so after chatting for a while at the Three Cats Inn, they left separately.

Before leaving, Shade and Mr. Madison exchanged business cards. This is how Shade learned that Mr. Madison’s true occupation was actually a spice merchant. But they are not the small businessmen doing business in the square, but the real big merchants in Xiacheng District.

Xia De intends to continue to inquire about past events from this gentleman, but judging from how busy the other man is, I'm afraid he won't be able to do so today. But Mr. Madison gave Shade a small bottle of sleeping spices as a gift, which was regarded as a meeting gift for the two of them to get to know each other.

Living in Delrayon, known as the Pearl of the North, it’s a good idea to have a few more friends.

"Doctor, St. Byrons is on the great ice cap in the far north, so where is the Serxess Medical School?"

The doctor would pass by Saint Teresa Square when he returned to the clinic, so Shade got into the carriage with him.

"I heard it was in the sea."

"In the sea?"

This is an answer I have never thought of.

"In the sea in the south of the Old World, but I definitely don't know the specific location. It is said that the founder of the Serkses Higher Medical School used some kind of large-scale ceremony to open up a huge water-sheltering space on the seabed. Shade, don’t think too highly of the other party. After all, St. Byrons is also a survivable space carved out of the extreme cold. The living conditions north of the ice cap are no better than those in the deep sea. "
