Whispering Verse

Shade wanted to continue asking, but the doctor spoke again:

"In short, Shade, your most recent major event is your studies as a ring warlock. The follow-up of the Lord of the Blood Feast and the Blood of Mercury has nothing to do with you, and the 'Mask Man Under the Silver Moon' has nothing to do with you. My injuries are handled by others. Help me figure it out, so you don’t have to think so much.”

Miss Anat, Miss Louisa and Priest Augustus also meant this. Shade thought for a while and called out the life ring behind him.

White steam filled the bedroom, but surprisingly didn't spread very far. The other four people all saw the blasphemous rune [Gluttony] engraved on the one-sided life ring belonging to the first-level warlock.

Even though Shade is not using any thaumaturgy now, the runes still shine as if they are activated. He attributed this to the special origin of this spiritual rune. This is not a story of indirect contact with the evil god, but of directly swallowing part of the evil god's power.

"This is what happened that night at Lakeview Manor."

he introduced.

"Is it blasphemy? It is indeed possible to appear after contacting gods, but..."

The doctor on the bed was thinking and asked:

"Have you eaten since you woke up?"

"I ate. I got some boiled potatoes from the church kitchen with Priest August last night. When I fed the cat this morning, I drank two bottles of milk and ate some bread."

Shade recalled.

"So, are you hungry now? Is there anything unusual when you eat? For example, do you want to eat your cat?"

Miss Louisa asked on behalf of the doctor. Shade shook his head in surprise:

"Little Mia is so cute, why am I? Oh, I understand what you mean, but there is nothing unusual about me... But the taste of the milk feels a little wrong. I suspect that the milk company that delivers it uses stale milk."

"This is not a problem, but if you face the evil god directly, you will definitely be affected. Be careful about the risk of losing control."

Priest August warned that as a clergyman, although he is not a magician of the church, he has a strong say in this issue:

"If you feel unwell in the past few days, be sure to tell us. Strange dreams, inexplicable hallucinations, or loss of memory for a period of time are all worthy of vigilance."

"There are also physical abnormalities, such as the growth of extra organs, the appearance of granulations on the skin surface, etc."

Miss Anat also added.

Shade nodded, wrote these down, and then looked at the life ring behind him:

"Now that my first spiritual rune has appeared, should I inform the academy and change my study plan?"

"Of course, this was told to the college along with the report we submitted."

The doctor said, and then motioned to Miss Louisa to distribute the documents on the bedside table to everyone.

This is the "Report on the Blood Banquet Incident at Lakeview Manor on the 30th of the Sunshine Moon in the Sixth Era, 1853" that the doctor drafted while he was in bed:

"This matter needs to be reported to the academy. We stopped the evil god. Although we did not get any actual benefits, the academy will reward this behavior. Any act of justice will definitely be rewarded."

The three major thaumaturgy academies are also enemies of the evil god. Even though the academies are far away from the civilized world for unknown reasons, the three major thaumaturgy academies are undoubtedly positive forces.

"This matter will involve future rewards, and also involve some of our own secrets..."

The doctor glanced at Shade:

"So, this report needs to be revised together. I have finished writing the part of my experience here. Do you have anything else to add or delete? Lucia, you are still responsible for recording."

"Dorothy's core spiritual rune [Writer] has the thaumaturgy of reading and writing, so it is very suitable for recording."

He explained to Shade again, and Shade nodded while flipping through the report in his hand.

Of course, the doctor himself had secrets. Although it was not mentioned in the report, Shade did not forget that when the doctor used the word of sublimation at the door of the banquet hall, the black figure behind him had a strong smell of sulfur.

Even in this world, Brimstone is associated with some kind of unusually evil race from old stories, combined with what Professor Sanchez has said about Dr. Schneider's "other self" being problematic. Shade is almost certain that the doctor's secret is related to the devil or demons, but he does not rule out that the other party's secret is something ridiculous like sulfur slime.

"Devil Doctor, this title sounds quite interesting."

Shade thought.

Of course, he would not report this matter to the academy. Since the doctor protected his secret, he should also protect the doctor's secret.

He will continue to monitor and ensure that if the doctor has a problem, it can be dealt with in a timely manner.

In order to avoid suspicion, of course Shade couldn't write about the incident where he faced the evil god. What happened after the doctor fell into coma was fabricated as the detective and the fortune teller working together to crack the ritual. During this period, the detective was affected by excessive inspiration and obtained [Gluttony].

After consulting the two people, Miss Louisa added a lot of details to show their efforts.

As for the "masked man under the silver moon", everyone said that he passed by Shade and Miss Anat, and the two low-level ring magicians did not see his true face.

Miss Louisa is worthy of being a writer who has won the Kingdom Literature Award. When writing the report, she was even able to describe Shade's nervousness when facing the "powerful" Ring Warlock from Shade's perspective, as well as the perceived power of the other party. .

In the report, both Shade and Miss Anat saw the scene where the "masked man under the silver moon" kicked out in front of the silver moon. The blond writer focused on this description, using a series of adjectives to describe the shock of the scene, highlighting the idea that "the suspected ring warlock of the Thirteen Rings is very powerful, so that person must have nothing to do with the group."

"Miss Louisa, are you always in charge of the team's reports?"

While the blond writer was "polishing" the report, Shade asked in a low voice to the priest on the side, who nodded:

"This is her division of labor within the group..."

In addition to what happened on the third floor, everyone also did different things before the five people met on the third floor. Those little things must also be added to the report, allowing the college to judge whether it is related to the arrival of the [Lord of the Blood Feast].

In Shade's part, he thought for a long time and decided to add the Rhodes card, the good luck of the twenty-sided die of destiny, and the gun. Of course, the reason why the die is 20 points cannot be stated clearly.

"Actually, that 'Heart Collector' also has a large bounty on his body, and you can't get it. But speaking of it, if you hadn't been so lucky last night, no one would be stupid enough to use a [relic] without knowing the effect. .”

exclaimed the priest.

"If it weren't for my good luck, I wouldn't have survived in front of the evil god."

Shade also made excuses for himself, but after he said it, he suddenly realized that this seemed to be reality. After all, when facing the evil god, the good luck caused by the script was not over yet.

This report was finally revised and polished after a whole morning of discussion. The five people who had experienced the incident signed their names, and then the doctor asked Miss Louisa to take out the pages of the poet's manuscript from the drawer and handed in the report through the pages.
