Chapter 38 The Augustus Priest of the Church of Dawn
In addition to the study of the core spirit runes, Shad experimented with other "simple" attempts mentioned in the doctor's notebook.

Dr. Schneider pointed out that the power possessed by a ring warlock is the power of thought to affect reality, so even if he does not learn any thaumaturgy and incantation, he can still use his own power, which is the so-called "heart is better than material".

Among them, the spontaneous use of power derived from the core spirit runes was collectively called "thaumaturgy" after being sorted out in ancient times; the spontaneous use of powers only related to thoughts without learning was sorted into a system and called "conjuration" .

Of course, the academy believes that the category of "magic" also includes "divine arts" related to the righteous gods, which originate from beliefs and direct gifts from the righteous gods, but the study of Xia De and the doctor does not involve these.The church believes that the classification of "divine arts" should be separated from spells, and the two are fundamentally different.

In the early days of this era, after continuous and intense debates in the academic circle of ring warlocks, the "magic arts" of the five righteous gods and the existing evil gods were officially juxtaposed with "thaumaturgy" and "conjuration", as the outermost part of the ring warlock's power system. in performance.

And the magic of the dead old gods is still "conjuration", because their believers have no right to speak.

Therefore, the spell "Echo of Blood" that Shad obtained from the old god "Vampire Duke Laurel" should be essentially the magic of the old god, without the power of the old god, the ordinary way Absolutely can't learn.

Therefore, the core of the ring warlock system is the [Spirit Rune], the [thaumaturgy] that has great power and effect but must be learned through the Spirit Rune, the [Spell] that has a low priority but can be learned, and the [Spirit] that is related to gods and beliefs. Divine Art] is the embodiment of the power of the Ring Warlock system.

"Upgrading the number of rings requires one each of the four spiritual runes of miracle, blasphemy, enlightenment, and whispering, and spiritual runes, incantation, magic, and thaumaturgy are similar to the relationship between [Tao] and [Art]. Sure enough, the balance of spiritual runes Gaining and learning about thaumaturgy is also very important."

This is the understanding of foreigners.

Shade tried to ignite a piece of paper with the fingers of both hands, which was the prototype of a simple spell.In this day's experiment, he also succeeded in moving extremely light objects with the power of his mind, the so-called "teleportation".

He is probably very talented in the use of this kind of spirit, except for moving a pinch of Mia's hair and a Rhodes card with his eyes almost bleeding, when he focused on the target in front of him, he closed his fists to face When the heavy pirated book "The Detective's Elegy" was hit, even without touching this dictionary-thick novel, the book could fly a few centimeters, instead of being carried over by the wind.

This pirated detective novel was not bought by Shard, but a relic of a former detective. It is the only few he has, including "The Queen and Her Lovers", "The Silver Knight" and "The Western Front". this novel.

The first is a colored court novel, the middle one is a very traditional knightly adventure novel, and the last one is a novel that tends to document literature.

Inadvertently folded footers and traces of tea drips, which Detective Sparrow Hamilton frequently flipped through, proved that this was his hobby.

As for the only [relic] in his hand, that is the clerical-level relic [Vampire Ring], Xia De could not find a living experiment, so he could not understand its specific effect.But he had removed the pocket watch chain, made the ring into a pendant and hung it around his neck. This was not considered wearing, so as long as it was not worn for 24 hours, it would not have a particularly big impact on him.

Xia De intends to consult the doctor and others tomorrow. Correspondence ring warlocks with rich experience will definitely be able to give good advice on how to use it.

Finally came Wednesday, but Xia De woke up early not because of excitement, but because of the nightmare of being pressed against his chest by a heavy object.

It was only bright in the summer morning, and the light to the limit was shining into the room through the closed curtains.Shad woke up still feeling a tightness in his chest and realized after about 5 seconds that a cat was lying there.

There is only one foster orange cat in Xia De's house for the time being, so it was Mia who woke Xia De.

It stared at him with amber eyes, lay on the quilt on Shard's chest, looked at him, found him awake, and jumped out of bed immediately.Judging from the sound of pedaling, it ran to the door of the house.

"You know it only came once yesterday? The milkman will not arrive until half an hour."

Shade shouted to the cat, imagining the books and courses worth 50 pounds that he would get today, and after filling his chest with passion, he left the bed.

Room 1, which is located on the second floor of the apartment, is quite large, but only has two bedrooms.Shade lives in the smaller room, which is also the residence of the original owner with a bad mind.The larger room was the room where the former detective died, and Shade wasn't terrified of it, but didn't plan to move there.

It would take a few days to contact the businessman who bought the old furniture, transport the bed away, and ask Dr. Schneider how to detect ghosts before he would consider moving into the large bedroom.

Leaving Little Mia at home to look after the house, and leaving enough cat food in the small bowl prepared for her, Xia De went out.The appointment time with the doctor was ten o'clock in the morning, and the clinic was quite far from the Place Saint Teresa.Xia De thought he could arrive at around 09:30, but it was probably because he was too much looking forward to it. He saw the signboard of Schneider Psychological Clinic when he was one minute short of nine o'clock.

Without spending time elsewhere, Shade walked in directly.The doctor had already instructed the receptionist of the clinic that Detective Hamilton, who was "in depression because of his uncle's death", would come today, so he directly directed Shade to the psychological consultation room on the second floor.

The doctor came to open the door immediately after knocking, and there was already another person in the room.

The gray-haired old man in a decent black formal suit stood up, nodded slightly and smiled at Xia De. His gentle smile made people feel good.His eyes were the usual gray and heavily lined, and he was probably over fifty years old, but he looked very energetic.

Slightly taller than the doctor, but lower than Shade, with a medium to thin build, it seems that life is not very rich.

Shade's eyes were attracted by the pendant hanging on the old man's chest. The pendant itself was hung on a silver chain, and the pendant looked like a brass-colored notched ring.

This is the righteous god [Mr. Dawn], the holy emblem of light and shadow, and it is a common practice for church clergy to hang the holy emblem on the chest.

"Huh? Clergy? Although the academy is not hostile to the Church of the Orthodox God, but..."

Shade wondered in his heart.

"let me introduce."

Seeing Shade's puzzlement, Dr. Schneider said enthusiastically:

"Shad, this is priest Lat Augustus, the second-ring warlock in this group, and a faithful believer of Mr. Dawn. Although he is a priest of the church, he did not become a ring warlock through the channel of the church, which is rare in Awakened his talents at an advanced age, and joined the academy's clergy by accident.

He has no prejudice against the academy and will not tell the church our identities as long as we do no harm to the church of dawn, and he can be trusted. "

Although the ring warlock talent can theoretically appear at all ages, it is generally concentrated between the ages of 16 and 40, and the Augustus priest is extremely rare.

"Don't worry, I can swear on the reputation of myself, Bill D. Schneider, that Priest Augustus is absolutely trustworthy. He joined us, and he was also reviewed by the three people including me and the academy. There is Augustus With the priest here, some of our actions will be very convenient."

The doctor said again, the gray-haired old priest took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Shade.Xia De naturally believed the doctor's words, so he hurriedly extended his hand.The old man's palms are wide and quite powerful.

　PS: In addition to detectives, psychiatrists, writers and part-time journalists, the No. 4 group of ring warlocks is a priest.So, is anyone willing to guess the occupation of the last person (female)?
