The Whispering Verses Chapter 940: High reward

Luvia did not leave Shade's house that morning. The two of them had been talking about the fourth chosen candidate all morning. After lunch together, she met Shade who was holding a cat. Take a cab to Dr. Schneider's clinic for a meeting.

It snowed lightly again at noon, but it stopped when we reached Röntgen Avenue.

Because Tobesk seemed calm this week, the five members of the group had nothing new to share. In addition to once again emphasizing the importance of next month's exam week, the doctor also reminded everyone to pay attention to theft prevention:

"I heard from the black market that a humanoid relic that is good at stealing recently appeared in the city."

The doctor said his news:

"This kind of relic targets everyone, but it is more inclined to steal ring warlocks. Local ring warlocks have already stolen important items. You should pay attention to preventing theft, but don't use ring warlocks' methods, otherwise the opponent will become It’s very powerful. As long as our anti-theft measures are strict enough, even if it finds us, it will give up.”

Shad remembered what he saw and heard from Professor Manning, so he said:

“An ordinary old professor I know was robbed. The thief used a wire to hook the latch on the inside of the window, opened the window on the first floor, entered the room, and stole a vase.”

"I have heard similar things."

Priest Augustus polished his pipe and said:

"Old Birmingham, who often visited the church, had his dead wife's only photo taken with him stolen. The thief committed the robbery during the day. He moved a large wooden box disguised as mailed goods and placed it at the door. He hid in the wooden box, sawed open the door from the side close to the door, entered the room and stole it, and then returned to the wooden box.”

He shook his head:

"Who in the right mind could think of such a method of theft?"

"I have also heard other prophets talk about this relic in the association."

Luvia also shared interesting anecdotes:

"Miss Laine, who lives in Tobesk's East City District, about two blocks away, had her family's pearl necklace stolen. But this time the thief neither broke the door nor opened the window. , while Miss Lain was not at home, he used a hammer to break open the back wall of the house in the garbage alley, and then got in through the hole the size of a dog hole."

"Is this considered a method used by ordinary people?"

Xia De asked suspiciously:

"Can ordinary people break open the walls of buildings with a sledgehammer?"

"Yes, after all, the house itself is not a very solid building."

Luvia said, and Dorothy became interested:

"Although the other party is a relic, he is also a thief. I really hope I can record the process of being caught, so that I can have more interesting plots in my book."

As she spoke, she glanced at Shade. Of course, Dorothy would not encourage Shade to find a humanoid relic.

"What's the benefit of catching it?"

Shad asked again curiously. This time neither Luvia nor Dr. Schneider could answer. However, Priest August knew more because he heard the information in the church:

"This humanoid relic has many wonderful treasures in his hands. Yes, if you can catch it, you can get one of its treasures."

Seeing that the other four people present showed interested expressions, Priest Augustus hurriedly added:

"Don't think that things are simple. So far, no one has ever been able to see the true appearance of the thief. It becomes stronger when it is strong. Although it usually only uses ordinary people's methods to steal, those methods are very subtle. What's more, the church's records show that this thief does not exist at a point in time other than when the 'theft' occurs. He only exists in the scene where the theft occurs. Therefore, on the surface, it is not difficult to catch him; In fact, there is reason to believe that the possibility of catching him is about the same as using a fishing net to find a needle in the sea."

In addition to the interesting story of the theft of humanoid relics in the city, the five members of the team also contacted the college separately this afternoon to make final preparations for the year-end exam next month.

Priest Augustus still lacks some practical credits and wants to accept an academy commission with a high enough score; the doctor wants to try again and make up for the elective course "Ether Mechanics" that he failed in the summer. I don’t have much confidence, but I still want to try my luck after all.

As for Dorothy and Luvia, Miss Writer was promoted to the fifth ring with the help of Shade, so she has to take the grade promotion exam at the end of the year, and she still has a few basic courses that she has not submitted. Although Luvia is a student jointly trained by the Prophet Association and St. Byrons, after being promoted to the fourth ring in the Battle of Fort Midhill in the fall, she is also considering taking the fourth-grade entrance exam in the winter.

She is not in a hurry. Even if she fails the exam this year, she can take it again next year.

Xia De is the one with the biggest trouble of all. He has officially proposed to St. Byrons that as a second-year student, he will take the skipping exam at the end of this year and directly enter the fourth grade.

The condition for participating in the skipping exam is that the ring warlock level is sufficient, which is no problem for Shade; the exam content only covers the written part of the required courses. Unfinished practical courses and papers in the second and third years can be made up within the next year. together.

Shad has borrowed enough books from the library to "recite". As long as he completes Miss Danister's commission, he can get a huge amount of practical credits through the back door. So for Schade, before the end of 1853, he had a huge number of books to memorize. Fortunately, with "her" help, Shade didn't think he could pass the exam.

After the five people requested the list of thaumaturgy from the library, the college also sent a letter from the Student Administration Office to the group.

The letter was opened by Dr. Schneider, the team leader. He took a look at the content and sighed:

"Well, the Tobesk division of this year's off-campus practical activities has been officially cancelled, and the students who were originally going to come to us went to other divisions."

Off-campus practice for regular St. Byrons students was supposed to take place during the summer. However, this year's event was postponed to winter due to the events that occurred in Tobesk during the summer.

Dr. Schneider also complained about this, but unexpectedly it was canceled directly in winter.

"Why cancel the zoning here? Hasn't Tobesk been very safe in recent months?"

Priest August asked in confusion. Dr. Schneider handed the letter to the priest, and then explained to the others:

"The school believes that Princess Margaret of Anjou's visit will cause something to happen in the city, so for safety reasons, this year's off-campus practical activities are officially canceled."

"What does the princess's visit have to do with the ring wizard?"

Dorothy asked deliberately, but the doctor shook his head:

"The academy didn't make it clear. However, the academy has issued an extra high reward. Augustus, please read it to everyone."

The old priest who was reading the letter coughed and read clearly:

"Academy reward order.

According to the divination results of the Academy of Astronomy, high-danger relics related to 'trials', 'tests' and 'riddles' will frequently appear in the city of Delarion-Tobesk and the surrounding areas in the near future. A bounty is now being offered to all college correspondence ring magicians in the region. Once they encounter such relics, they will quickly inform the college of specific information. Depending on the details and value of the information, the college will grant practical credits ranging from 1 to 20 points. ”

"So many credits can be given just by submitting information?"

Dorothy sighed quietly, and Priest Augustus continued to read:

"If you come into direct contact with this type of relic and can complete the test given by this type of relic, without asking for any reward, you will receive a teardrop-shaped blue crystal as a reward. The crystal is a physical substance, and its specific composition is unknown. Named the poet-level relic [Wise Man's Pyroxene], you can obtain it in one go by submitting it to the academy."

Priest Augustus opened his mouth in surprise:

"20 points of practical credits, 2,000 pounds in cash, learning information and ritual materials for any thaumaturgy listed in the library, and any sage-level relic contained in the academy."

The priest himself took a breath, Shade glanced at Luvia, Luvia's eyes moved and her expression remained unchanged, Doctor Schneider touched his chin as if thinking, Dorothy hugged Shade Germany's cat was also quite surprised:

"Contain a poet-level relic (level 5), and the academy will reward a sage-level relic (level 2)?"

"Yes."

Priest Augustus nodded and read the last few sentences of the academy’s reward order:

“Remark 1: This task is extremely dangerous. It is not recommended that students below level 4 (inclusive) try to obtain [Wise Man’s Pyroxene].

Remark 2: During the duration of the reward, the college library will provide free access to the storage information of some humanoid relics. For specific information, please contact the college library for detailed consultation.

Note 3: Multiple ring warlock organizations, including the Zhengshen Church, will participate in this event, and it is expected that a medium-intensity urban ring warlock battle will occur. Local correspondence cyclists are requested to protect their personal privacy and security. If necessary, please feel free to contact the St. Byrons Student Management Office. ”

After he finished reading, the others remained silent. Even though Shad and Luvia had known about the [Wise Man's Pyroxene] half a week ago, they were still shocked by St. Byrons' "generous act". .

"Last time the academy gave such a generous reward"

Dr. Schneider said softly:

"The academy still suspected that the Tobesk area was trapped in an eternal time loop, but it was later proven that this did not exist and that time was always flowing."

Luvia and Priest Augustus quickly looked at each other (Chapter 512). The priest wiped his pipe and shook his head slightly.

"It seems like something big happened in the Tobesk area."

Dr. Schneider's expression suddenly became serious. He is the oldest ring warlock in the group.

"Is there any other situation where the academy could offer such a generous reward?"

Xia De asked again, and the doctor said again:

"Yes, a certain integer itself is a relic. This integer is between 13 and 14. If you find this number, the college can give you a sage-level relic and a reward for tenure after graduation. Once this number is announced, it will It will directly lead to the collapse of the mathematical system."

This is a bit like solving Goldbach's conjecture in a foreigner's hometown. The doctor's metaphor allowed Shade to fully understand how strong the academy's desire for [Wise Man's Pyroxene] was.
