Chapter 41

Xia De looked at this elective course parchment scroll that looked more like a price list with a tight face. According to his reality (city, profession, age), the academy he joined, and his core spirit runes, the academy opened nearly two hundred elective courses to him in the first year, including "Inspirational Divination," "Simple Acquisition of Four-Element Spirit Runes," etc., which looked quite useful at a glance.

Some courses require completing basic courses or elective courses to choose, otherwise Xia De would see more elective courses.

The cost of some cheaper courses also exceeds 20 pounds, while the most expensive category cannot even use currency, but uses 【Relics】 or other requirements and tasks as costs.

Fortunately, elective courses can be chosen at any time. When coming to the doctor's place every Saturday, if you intend to pay, you can contact the academy directly.

Dr. Schneider suggested that Xia De familiarize himself with the basic courses for a period of time before considering elective courses; the old priest recommended some more useful courses; Miss Lu Yisha helped Xia De cross out a part of them directly. When she was in the first year, because a large amount of manuscript fees arrived, she spent a lot on courses, so she knew which ones were temporarily unnecessary:

"Elective courses don't have to be passed. The academy and professors don't care about this. But elective courses are a good opportunity for us correspondence Ringed Shushi to contact and familiarize ourselves with the academy's professors. You know, whether some valuable elective courses are open is also related to the professors' own wishes."

Miss Lu Yisha introduced, Xia De was very familiar with this set. Although it was slightly different from the past, he adapted to such rules very well.

Reading the elective course list in his hand, he subconsciously turned to the back when reading to the end. He thought the back of the parchment would have no text, but didn't expect it to really have it:

【Mr. First-Ring Shushi Xia De Suren Hamilton:

Please prepare four chairs at midnight today, wooden, without the holy emblem decoration of any god. Place the four chairs opposite each other in the four directions of due east, due west, due south, and due north, and surround a non-pure silver water basin filled with clear water. You need to sit on the chair in the due north direction before midnight, and throw the paper scroll into the water basin after lighting it.

Please dress formally, you can turn on the gas lamp, please close the curtains, don't tell anyone about this, including the Ringed Spellcasters in the same group. Professor Hams Sanchez of the Academy of Library Management, and Professor Heseng Garcia of the Academy of History want to see you.

St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy - Student Management Office

Professor Hams Jane Sanchez】

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Xia De staring at the back of the parchment, Miss Lu Yisha also looked at the back of the parchment:

"What's good about empty paper pages? Oh, I know, you probably haven't used parchment. Common sense is, we usually don't use parchment on both sides, so there won't be anything on the back."

Miss Lu Yisha's position could completely see these words, but what she showed was that she saw nothing.

"Only I can see these? What does the academy mean? Is there a secret task for me? Talking to me alone, is it possible that my outsider identity has been exposed?"

Xia De thought, recorded these messages, rolled up the parchment again and put it on the sofa.

Because of Xia De's 【Time and Space】 core spirit rune, the Academy of History promised to provide a 【Keeper-level】 relic for self-defense after he joined. This relic appeared only after confirming the receipt of the paper strip after all the books and documents were sent.

The upper limit of items that poet-level relics can transmit is limited to 【Keeper-level】, and only some Keeper-level relics can be transmitted. Therefore, it seems that the Academy of History has also racked its brains for Xia De.

【Relic】 was placed in a rusty bronze box of cubic shape, less than the size of a palm. The patterns on the surface of the box depicted incomprehensible patterns like vines.

Under the bronze box was a document used to describe the function of this 【Relic】.

The relic is not a gift to Xia De. If he leaves the Academy of History or breaks away from St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, he needs to hand over this 【Relic】 again, but if he graduates normally, he does not need to.

【You touched a "Whisper."】

According to common sense, Xia De should not know immediately that this is a relic, because he does not know the characteristics.

"【Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice】?"

Xia De did not avoid others and opened the bronze box that looked like an antique directly. The inside of the box was almost solid metal, with only a bronze-colored die embedded in the center.

The surface was rusty, 20-sided die, the numbers were recessed on the metal surface of the die, and the numbers were all golden, some even almost merged with the rust, which was the trace of time.

"I know this!"

Miss Lu Yisha said in surprise, raising her hand as if she wanted to touch her earlobe, but shook her head again:

"No, it should be said that 'another me' knows this. I probably scanned the information about this die in a book unintentionally... but how could the academy give you such a dangerous relic?"

"All relics are dangerous, these are terrible residues condensed by the whispers of past eras."

Father Augustus reminded, but the writer lady shook her head, her blonde hair swaying slightly:

"This one is especially dangerous. Its characteristics are manifested in two aspects.

On the one hand, when carrying the die, most divination cannot affect the carrier, but only when carrying it, and carrying this die for a long time will cause one's own luck to decline permanently. I know luck is an unmeasurable concept, but 【Whisper】 elements really interfere with luck.

On the other hand, actively throwing the die, limited to one opportunity per day, when the die is thrown, whether a matter related to the thrower will be lucky will be determined by the size of the die number, the larger the number, the better the luck, and it cannot be determined by any technical means, the random number appears.

"Any matter related to the user?"

Dr. Schneider grabbed the point. He was considered by others in the group to often have bad luck, so he was particularly concerned about this kind of relic.

"Yes, so usually after throwing once, you won't know immediately which matter was affected, but you will definitely understand in the future. This is also one of the characteristics of the Fate's Twenty-Sided Dice."

The blonde lady moved away from the bronze box in Xia De's hand with some fear:

"But in most cases, it can only throw numbers below 10 that are biased towards bad luck. This is statistically proven. And it is said that if you throw a 1, something more terrible than death will happen. How could the Academy of History give such a terrible thing to a detective?"

The information given by the academy is similar to Miss Lu Yisha's statement. This die can only be contained with that bronze box made of special materials. In a non-contained state, the die will always induce the holder to throw it unintentionally, and the probability of throwing is not average for each number. Possibilities below 10 are the greatest, causing terrible things.

Therefore, Miss Lu Yisha strongly suggested that Xia De should not use the active effect of the die, and only treat it as a 【Relic】 that interferes with divination.
