Whispering Poems.

Chapter 18 The Forged Sage's Stone

The piece of paper that attracted Shade's attention was made of parchment-like material, and one corner was pressed by the book "Psychology and Abnormal Psychology", but it only covered the signature and did not affect the main content:

【Academy reward order
The illegal organization [Blood of Mercury], carrying a secret keeper-level relic [Forged Sage's Stone] appeared in Tobeysk City and surrounding areas.Rewards are offered to all the colleges in the area, and pay close attention to the trend of [Blood of Mercury]. If you submit [Forged Sage's Stone] to the college, you can deduct 5 practical credits for the current academic year, and the academic assessment for this semester will be automatically graded. Promoted to 'Excellent', and the rest of the rewards are interviewed with Professor Rutgers from the School of Mechanical Engineering.

Note 1: This task is extremely dangerous, and it is not recommended that students below level 3 (inclusive) come into direct contact with the [Blood of Mercury] organization in any form.

Note 2: For specific information about the relic [Forged Sage's Stone], please consult the academy for details.

Note 3: The Orthodox Church has obtained the news. If you intend to complete the task, please be careful not to reveal your identity to the church. 】

Below is the obscured inscription, which seems to be a joint announcement issued by the Public Affairs Management Office of St. Byrons Comprehensive College and the School of Mechanical Engineering.

"What if it was exposed to the Orthodox Church? I forgot to ask the doctor just now."

Shade thought to himself, then put the file bag on the table, and sat back on the sofa.

So far, no one knows the secret that he can understand all kinds of strange languages, so it is unlikely that this thing is faked by a doctor.On the contrary, the appearance of this college reward order proves that the high probability that the doctor said is true.

"However, credits and academic assessment are really frightening words. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen in the era of steam civilization."

Xia De thought silently, recalling his life in his hometown.This made him more determined to contact the mystery and find a way to go back.

I just didn't expect that when I arrived in another world, I would still have to study and take an exam.What's more, there may be a dissertation to be written.

"There are always more ways than difficulties."

He thought to himself, waiting patiently for the doctor to come back.

Although the doctor only treated the guests not long ago, I had lunch at the goose restaurant.But because the terrifying picture he saw in the morning was really impressive, Xia De actually didn't take a few bites.

At this time, I have plans for the future, my mood is better, and the feeling of hunger will come up.So while the doctor didn't come back, I asked Mrs. Carla for some snacks, saying that she wanted afternoon tea.

The doctor probably explained that Xia De was a distinguished guest, so when the maid wearing a floral apron knocked on the door to enter, Xia De saw that she was actually carrying a porcelain plate.

"This is Mr. Schneider's collection."

The middle-aged maid smiled. She looked about 40 years old, older than the blue-eyed doctor.With a plump figure, it fits Xia De's imagination of a middle-aged woman in an ordinary family in this era.

Although there is no eastern country in this world, there are still porcelain, and porcelain is still precious. Only the special soil and technology in special areas can burn such fine products.

Shade thanked Mrs. Carla and didn't pay much attention to the china plate.He looked at the delicate yellow fluffy little cake on the plate, and the red cherry on top of the cake that seemed to reflect light, and swallowed subconsciously.

"Xia De, don't lose the face of the outsiders!"

The foreigner who came here for the first time said to himself in his heart, and then, unsurprisingly, he heard the nice laughter of the woman in his mind again.

It was agreed to meet at two o'clock, but the doctor never showed up.If it wasn't for when Shade went to the bathroom and found that no one really stopped him from wandering around, he might have suspected that he had fallen into some trap.

Since this was someone else's place, after confirming that he could leave at any time, Shade returned to his original room and waited.He didn't have the bad habit of flipping through other people's things, and he was worried about seeing documents that he shouldn't read, so he sat on the sofa bored and looked at the interior of the room.

After coming to this world for nearly 40 hours, I have a higher understanding of the development level of the current country.The characteristics of the steam age appear in all aspects of life, not only gas lamps and steam pipes, the buckles of ingenious mechanical structures appearing on various furniture, the lifting platform controlled by large gears, pulleys and ropes on the side of the bookshelf, these are all Shade. I have never seen it in my own world.

He never thought that he could come to this kind of world. While hesitating, he also tried to exchange his knowledge for money.But he really didn't know much, and he didn't have an excellent memory that he could never forget. In fact, he was still full of unease about the next life.

Dr. Schneider did not show up until 02:30. He changed his coat, which is now black.

When he pushed the door and came in, he began to apologize:
"I'm really sorry, something completely unexpected happened. I ordered a batch of sensitive medicines on the black market, no, don't show that look, it's not for the patients of the clinic, I don't do that kind of thing. I used it for my own research on thaumaturgy, and it turned out that something went wrong when I received the goods, which is really bad luck."

As he spoke, he sat down again, and the maid came in with him and offered the two men a new pot of black tea:
"So, have you decided yet?"

The doctor asked very solemnly, and his blue eyes looked at Xia De's.Shade had observed his body in the mirror, and the color of his eyes was still the same dark brown as black, which was the same as before.

"It's decided."

Xia De sat up straight and nodded, and also gave the answer solemnly:
"I want to try to touch that poet-level relic [Dream of St. Byrons Comprehensive College]."

The doctor had a big smile on his face:

"Although my luck is not very good today, I found that Detective Hamilton, as long as things related to you, it will always go well."

As one of the three major thaumaturgy colleges, St. Byrons College has the ability to deliver [relics] remotely.But Shade is not an official ring warlock yet, so Dr. Schneider naturally won't let him know what this method is.

After waiting in the room alone for more than ten minutes, the doctor pushed the door in with a black cardboard box and walked in.

It was really a black carton with nothing but black.Shade didn't even find out where the seam of the carton was.

"[The Dream of St. Byrons Comprehensive College] is a product of the previous era, that is, a product of the fifth era. At that time, the college was just established, and the legendary founder, the thirteen-ring warlock Mana Feliana Miss, after a summer nap, I got this [relic]. This [relic] must be stored in a black space, and it is considered a [relic] with a relatively simple containment method."

"Is the academy only established in the previous era?"

Xia De was a little puzzled, he thought it was the kind of ancient organization that passed down several epochs.

"Actually, the five orthodox churches and the three thaumaturgy colleges all appeared in the previous era. Remember this common sense, the fourth era is an era of darkness and chaos, and evil and distortion are rampant in the world. The fifth era is the witch In our era, only women had the ability to cast spells, powerful witch emperors divided the world, city-states fought each other, civilization made no progress in the fifth era, it was a wild and primitive era, but it was equally terrible. By the sixth era, extraordinary It is not obvious that human civilization has been able to progress to the present era in the hands of ordinary people.”

The doctor did not introduce the older era, nor did Shade ask, because the two were sitting on the sofa, and Dr. Schneider had already opened the box.

Looking around, the carton was covered with straw, and on the straw lay a delicate snuff bottle with enamel filigree, the size of a palm.The body of the pot is generally blue, with bright yellow sunflowers painted on it, which are connected with each other with golden lines, which makes people think of the pleasant time of summer.

　PS: Everyone seems to be reluctant to speak. Is the plot boring and no discussion?
