Chapter 42 20:00

“Academy probably thinks so too, after all, I haven’t heard of it yet Which one who has just enrolled in the correspondence learning ring warlock can get the secret keeper-level [relic] at once."

Dr. Schneider also agreed with Miss Luysha's view that when it comes to fate, ring warlock is quite cautious after all.

Just staring at the die, Shade had a strong urge to take it out of the socket. Fortunately, the dice were still in containment, and Shade completely resisted the temptation.

But he still put a finger on the die, wanting to feel its cold metal touch.

In my mind, the whispering female voice suddenly sounded:
[Although the road of destiny forks at your feet, if you have useful tools, you can choose the right path. From 1 to 20, and again from 20 to 1, you see your own strange fate in the rolling dice. Now is the time to flip the dice.]

"Are you sure you want me to roll the dice now?"

Shade asked in surprise, and a whisper in his ear:
[outsider, when you embark on this path of destiny, the choice is always in your hands. But sometimes, some reasonable attempts can make you understand your destiny more fully. Through my vision, I saw interesting things for you. Do you have the courage to challenge your luck? ]

Shade thinks about it, he is quite aware that his "other me" is peculiar. Although I don't know if this is the characteristic of a foreigner or if the other party has a problem, any behavior of the whispering voice so far is believable. Despite his worries and suspicions about this mysterious and eerie world, Shade is also willing to put some trust in occasionally.

The dice was rolled and dropped to the coffee table before the doctor and the others objected.

The sound of the metal dice hitting the wooden coffee table shocked everyone present. But the dice quickly stabilized with the number "20" towards the top. Shade didn't feel so surprised, he just heard the sweet laughter of the woman in his ear.

[Although you don't always believe me, I am you. ]

The four of them looked at the numbers on the dice and didn't say a word. It took a long time for the doctor to remind seriously:

"This time it's 20. This is your [relic]. We No right to interfere. But I must remind you, Shade, that people are not always so lucky. This impulse brings the gift of fate, but not the next time."

"Every A gift that belongs to fate has already been marked with a price. This time, 20 will probably consume your luck for a long time, and I have always believed in the 'law of conservation of luck.'"

The writer also said, but as a The priest Augustus the Elder pointed out that the conservation of luck is an unfounded superstition.

Shade accepts the admonitions, but he does not intend to explain his motives for doing so. The uniqueness of the woman's voice in his head is his secret, the characteristic of a foreigner. It's enough to know this, at least for now, he won't tell others about it.

The "good thing" of throwing 20 is not yet observable, but depending on the nature of the dice, Shade will know sooner or later, so he just has to wait.

Once everything was taken care of for Shade to officially join the Academy, the doctor opened the bottle of champagne to celebrate that there were five people in the group.

Shade isn't a big drinker, but since it's a celebration, there's no turning back. When the doctor poured wine for everyone, he also curiously asked, if these books were brought back by him and lost accidentally, would it be regarded as revealing the secrets of Academy, but the doctor let him not have to worry about this:
“First grade textbooks It doesn't mean that this knowledge is not precious, it's just that you can get it from other channels, so even if you lose it, you just need to spend more gold pounds to buy another one at the Academy. Some books will not be encrypted until the second grade.”

Now Shade is more at ease. Doctors, writers, and priests all encouraged Shade to study hard, and agreed that he The main task now is to inscribe the first spirit rune for myself.

"The "spirit rune theory foundation (I)" course will give a recommendation to engrave the first rune based on the innate talent of the ring warlock. What recommendation did the Academy give you? Is it [Light]? "

"Yes."

Shade said, flipping through the book in his hand.

"In general, Academy recommends the first spirit rune, inscribed with the rune representing the element, because it will be simpler. You have [Silver Moon], and [Light] [Stars]. The affinities are quite good, and they even created the [Brightening Technique] on their own initiative. But the [Stars] are too complicated for the first grade, and it really is [Light]."

The doctor said with a smile, and then got up from there One of the books was taken out and handed to Shade:

""Crazy Light Chaser", a crazy novel written by an unknown author in the Fifth Age, has [Enlightenment] because of civilization. This This is a translated manuscript, and reading it to try to inscribe [light] is the most appropriate means. Of course, few people can directly obtain light, you can obtain any extended concept spirit rune, even if it is qualified.”

Before today's meeting, the doctor had already shared the news about the sage-level relic [God's Box] and the Quicksilver Blood Organization obtained by Shade to the rest of the group by letter in advance, and they all agreed. Shade was paid £1 per person for this message.

Instead of taking the four pounds, which included Luvia Anat, who was not in Tobesque, Shade used the money to pay off part of the month's £10 arrears. The remaining 6 pounds will have to wait for a while, after all, he still needs gold pounds to support himself and Mia.

It is said that the orange cat has a good appetite, and Shade needs to be prepared.

The doctor is very efficient, and before the end of this morning's meeting, he gave Shade another good news:

"I checked the news from the real estate agent, Shengde The house at No. 6 Lan Plaza, the entire three-story house, including the land, is the property of the original Detective Sparrow Hamilton. Did he leave the text of his suicide note?"

"Leave, Locked in the closet by me."

Shade was taken aback by the good news, and some couldn't believe that he inherited the whole house. All the haze after coming to the age of steam seemed to dissipate because of this news, and he didn't know in his heart that he was so eager to have his own home.

Augus' priority was normal, and Miss Luisa looked at Shade in surprise:

"Mr. Hamilton, you've never been short of gold pounds in your life."

"But."

Shade didn't get too happy, but looked towards the doctor, and the doctor used this conjunction to continue the story. His expression was tangled, and he didn't know what tone to use:
"But don't get too excited, there's something wrong with that house. Six St. Teresa Square was bought by Sparrow Hamilton for £300 two years ago when he came to Tobesque."

"How can it be cheap? Even if it is a haunted house, it won't."

Miss Luysha frowned asked, although 300 pounds is a lot, but you must know that this is the two major human beings in the material world. Tobesque, the capital of Delarion Kingdom, one of the Kingdoms, the northern pearl, fog, and the gathering point of the old continent civilization, these are the titles here.

And 6 St. Teresa Square is a building complex that can see directly from the window of the "Yordle Palace", where the dirt is worth more than gold.

The doctor has a clinic, the priest lives in the church, and only the female writer is now living alone in a rented apartment in the Tobesque University district, and is very sensitive to housing prices. Not counting the land, just the whole house in the St. Teresa Square area, not to mention £300, even £20,000 has no place to buy it.
