Chapter 1144: Priest Priest Ao Gu Si and Randel River Valley
After the summer exam week half a year ago, Xia De went to watch the opera with Dorothy alone. At that time, his address to Dorothy was still "Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha".
But after this exam week, Xia De is going to St. Byron's to receive the medal, and he is going to St. Byron's in person. Although Xia De does not know whether the standard award process really requires going to the Academy, he vaguely feels that this is inseparable from Miss Dan Ni Si Te.
In short, although everyone's grades were a bit unexpected, everyone passed the 1853 academic year exam smoothly.
After confirming that Xia De still had to go to St. Byron's at night, Dorothy left first. The 1853 Kingdom Literature Award is about to be announced, and her father, Professor Lu Lu Lu Yisha, has recently been helping her "clear the relationship", so she also has to go home often to see.
Then Luweiya also said goodbye. She needed to go back and write her exam situation and year-end assessment situation into a written report and submit it to the Divination Association, so that the Association could discuss her elective courses and sublimation language choices for the new year with St. Byron's as soon as possible.
This kind of report even needs to be in duplicate, and cannot be typed with a mechanical typewriter, it must be completely handwritten. Coupled with finding different people to stamp and sign, the purple-eyed girl probably has to be busy for several days.
The Doctor and the priest helped Xia De clean up the examination room. The old priest originally intended to let Doctor Shi Nai De leave the poetry manuscript page to Xia De, to facilitate contact with the Academy, and they would have a drink together according to the practice of previous years, but Xia De stopped the two:
"Priest, Doctor, please wait a moment, I have something to say."
He looked outside, confirmed that the moon had risen, and let the priest and the Doctor stay in Room 1 temporarily, while he held the cat and went to Room 2 next door.
After a while, Xia De came back with an arrow with a dark golden luster. Just by looking at that arrow, one knew it was quite extraordinary. On both sides of the arrow, there were strange patterns composed of concave three circles, and five crystal grains of four blue and one gold were directly embedded in the metal. The simple sense of history and the sense of vicissitudes of time all explained its power.
And looking carefully again, it would produce a wonderful feeling of dizziness, as if reading for 24 hours in a row before the exam week. At the same time, an inexplicable voice in his heart urged the person who saw the arrow to stab this arrow into his heart.
But fortunately, whether it was the priest or the Doctor, the ability to resist negative mental influence was quite good. Bi Qu Ge
"Good stuff I got recently."
Xia De also sat down on the sofa, signaling the two to stretch out their respective hands.
The old priest who was wiping his pipe and Doctor Shi Nai De looked at each other, and then rolled up their sleeves together and stretched out their right hands.
The arrow was stabbed into the palms of the two respectively. With the fluctuation of their respective element power, the Doctor just frowned slightly and thought, looking like he had obtained a new miracle.
And behind Priest Priest Ao Gu Si, the life ring slowly emerged in the steam fog. With the enrichment of the brass-colored enlightenment spirit light, a brand-new 2nd-ring spirit rune appeared. That is Enlightenment - 【Heart of Darkness】.
"Oh, the 2nd-ring spirit runes are complete!"
Priest Priest Ao Gu Si looked back at his life ring in surprise, and a joyful smile appeared on his old face. Neither he nor Doctor Shi Nai De asked Xia De what the arrow in his hand was.
"I also obtained a good miracle."
The Doctor nodded and said, also looking at the priest's life ring. He touched his chin:
"Priest, maybe you can prepare to be promoted to the third grade at the end of this year... I remember, your second-grade exam subjects seem to have all ended."
"Still one subject short. If this surprise was a month earlier, I might have applied for the upgrade exam."
Although he said so, the priest was still very happy:
"Originally thought it would take a year or two, didn't expect there to be such a surprise. After a while, I will borrow third-grade books from the library, it's good to look at them in advance."
"Really not bad, if you can reach the 4th ring before we set off for the extreme north, that journey might be easier."
Xia De also commented.
"Oh, Bill, Xia De, I am not a young man with vitality like you."
The priest shook his head with a smile, and asked Xia De again:
"The exam week is over, do you have any plans recently? Winter is only half over, I think you shouldn't just stay at home, waiting for the client to come to the door. This time, are you going to a new city again?"
When "rescuing" Priest Priest Ao Gu Si in the autumn, the others in the group knew Xia De's secret of being able to go to distant cities.
"Speaking of which, I'm going to Randel River Valley in a while. Oh, that's the City of Spring in the south of Kexi."
Going to an unfamiliar city is for the only time key to 【Past World · Sixth Era】 that "Luweiya" mentioned. It's just that he has to find a way to establish the correct road sign, and Xia De also intends to rest for a while. In the winter of 1853, for the many tests of the secret keepers at both ends of time, he almost didn't stop for a moment.
"I heard that the opera troupe of that city is very famous. That famous artist and female opera actor, Miss Benanisi, who is famous in the Old Continent, runs the 【Golden Dawn】 opera troupe there."
Doctor Shi Nai De said with a smile, 【Golden Dawn Opera Troupe】 is the most famous opera troupe in the human world this century.
"I went to Randel River Valley when I was young."
Priest Priest Ao Gu Si continued to wipe his pipe. Seeing Xia De and the Doctor looking at him curiously, the old man said:
"Is it very strange? When I was young, I was often sent on business trips by the church. Going to Randel River Valley was probably... around 1835. At that time, I was only in my thirties, younger than Bill is now."
"Then do you still have friends in Randel River Valley City? If so, I can visit and see how they are doing."
Xia De said while stroking the cat, actually very interested in the priest's experience when he was young. When he was in Mide Hill Fort City, he knew a green love affair of the priest when he was young that had no results.
"Friends..."
The old priest looked up slightly:
"This is really hard to say. However, if you really have time, you can visit Father Murphy of the local Dawn Church. I bet and owed him 10 pence back then, and never had a chance to pay it back. If there is a chance, please pay it back for me."
This is no problem. Xia De looked at Doctor Shi Nai De in surprise. They were not surprised because the priest would bet with others, but because the old priest had remembered it for nearly 20 years because of 10 pence.
The image of Priest La Te · Priest Ao Gu Si became even taller in their eyes.
They didn't chat for too long. Priest Priest Ao Gu Si stood up first, and the Doctor also stood up and invited Xia De:
"There are really many surprises today. Detective, since you are not going to St. Byron's until eight o'clock tonight, would you like to have a drink with us? I know you don't drink on weekdays, but this is to celebrate the smooth end of the exam week."
Xia De thought about it and agreed to the invitation. Of course, the cat is not willing to go to the noisy environment of a tavern, so Xia De left it at home and prepared a rich dinner. It can be seen that Little Mia is very satisfied with Xia De's proper arrangement.
By the time Xia De returned home, it was already 7:20 PM. During the outing for a drink, the poetry manuscript page in Doctor Shi Nai De's pocket had already given Xia De the way to go to the Academy again.
But this time it was no longer the dangerous relic 【Broken Old World Map】, but using a means of transport, the Sage-level relic 【Midnight Nightmare Carriage】.
Before being accommodated, this was a quite dangerous relic. It often appeared at night, carrying guests to unknown terrifying distances. And the divination for the missing persons would get answers that middle-ring mages could not even face.
There is reason to believe that 【Midnight Nightmare Carriage】 in the unaccommodated state had the ability to penetrate most seals, so in the early Sixth Era, the joint accommodation action launched by the three major academies to study its space penetration characteristics suffered many setbacks.
Later, at the cost of a 12th-ring mage being seriously injured, it was barely sealed in St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy. The Academy believes that this is a special magic item created by some departed evil god to collect flesh and blood sacrifices for himself, or what is called an "artifact" in knight novels, but this conclusion has not been confirmed to this day.
But what can be confirmed is that 【Midnight Nightmare Carriage】 after being accommodated, that is, after binding the dangerous coachman to a pure silver coffin and pouring mercury into the coffin, the carriage itself can be used by mortals.
St. Byron's itself is a miracle academy famous for accommodating relics. After more than a thousand years of attempts, it has gradually turned this relic into one of the most important means of transport for the Academy located in the extreme north continent to communicate with the outside world.
By relying on the power of the entire St. Byron's to suppress the coachman, and having the carriage driven by alchemical puppets or summoned creatures endowed with the official faculty status of "St. Byron's Comprehensive Academy", theoretically, the carriage can be driven to travel to various locations in the material world. Of course, the accommodated carriage loses the power to penetrate most spaces, and in fact, there are many taboos when using it.
For example, a ring mage with the "Unlucky Traveler" spirit rune must absolutely not use this carriage under any circumstances. And when Miss Dan Ni Si Te and other professors enter the civilized world from the Academy, because it is a normal action notified to the church in advance, out of respect for the partner True God Church, they use normal means of transport.
But if the Academy has occasions to dispatch professors privately, this kind of relic can come in handy.
According to the official document passed by the Academy, Xia De can carry pets, summoned creatures, or other small living things on this journey, so Xia De decided to take Mia to St. Byron's to have a look.
After returning home, he packed the items he wanted to carry with him, and then sat on the sofa waiting for the carriage to come. At the same time as the wall clock reached eight o'clock sharp, the bell downstairs really rang.
"Mia, let's go." ===== CHAPTER 1145 =====
