Chapter 61: Study Gathering

Carrying the worry about the subsequent development of the event, Xia De went to Dr. Schneider's clinic on Saturday afternoon. Because he set off early, he arrived very early, so at that time, Miss Louisa and Priest Augustus had not arrived yet.

Xia De shared this matter with the doctor. The doctor was also quite concerned about the commission related to "Mrs. Lasoya":

"We have basically concluded that Mrs. Lasoya is a member of 【Mercury Blood】. But this does not mean that the helpers mentioned by Mrs. Lawrence are definitely not the opponents of that Mrs. Lasoya, whose gender is unknown."

Dr. Schneider sat on the sofa and said. Seeing Xia De's confusion, he explained:

"The helpers mentioned by Mrs. Lawrence are suspected to be known through noble ladies. And you must know that although the supernatural is not obvious in this era, for great nobles, Ring Warlocks are not very secret things, and even the royal family has connections with Miracle Academies. And to be fair, 【Mercury Blood】 is not a very strong organization. Although I don't know that Mrs. Lasoya you mentioned, she should not be stronger than me by two rings at most."

Dr. Schneider pointed to himself, not showing any excessive boasting behavior.

"That is to say, there is also the possibility that Mrs. Lawrence, because she was too cautious, gathered helpers who were very astonishing."

Xia De asked.

"Yes, although Ring Warlocks above ten rings mostly come from the Orthodox Sect and the three major academies and will not be hired by ordinary people, non-regular Ring Warlocks are very willing to attach themselves to great nobles for various reasons, mainly gold pounds."

The

"Of course, that is only a possibility. After all, no one knows exactly what kind of formidable figures Lady Lawrence might know. Xia De, there are some things you shouldn't be too curious about."

"Of course, the task commission relationship has ended, and I have reminded the employer as much as possible."

Xia De nodded, considering the matter temporarily forgotten:

"Speaking of which, I still owe 6 pounds this month; let's pay it off now."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha also arrived at the doctor's clinic shortly after, but after a long wait, Priest Ao Gu Si still had not appeared, so the three of them headed first to the doctor's parlor on the second floor to begin their study session.

This was quite strange to Xia De; it was his first time participating in a study session for the supernatural, but as he experienced it, it was no different from ordinary study activities.

The three of them each shared the difficulties they encountered in their Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi studies and exchanged their new insights and experiences.

Because of the incident with the 【Blood of Mercury】 that night, Xia De shared his private meeting with Professor Jiaxiya, claiming it was a special favor for a key student being cultivated by the Academy.

He concealed his bizarre encounter in the past timeline and, just like his explanation to Professor Jiaxiya, did not mention that he had truly seen a god. But even so, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha and Doctor Shi Nai De were taken aback.

Because there had never been a student from the History Academy in their group, they did not know if this was the norm, and only urged Xia De to be extremely careful in everything.

He did not mention Professor Sanchez, nor did he mention that the professor had pointed out that the other four members of the group all had problems. He talked about Peter the dwarf rat of the 【Blood of Mercury】, talked about the followers of the evil god 【Lord of the Blood Banquet】, and finally talked about incantations and sorcery.

Not counting the self-created Light Art, the incantations Xia De currently mastered were the three basic ones, plus Blood Echo and False Immortality; as for sorcery, he only had 【Silver Moon Slash】 and 【Moon Shadow Illusion】. The doctor and the writer both believed that Xia De should only consider obtaining sorcery and incantations through other channels after he had fully mastered the remaining healing-type sorcery and determined his own area of expertise as a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi.

The current problem lay mainly in the learning of sorcery.

"Your understanding of your own spiritual runes is insufficient; that is the reason why the power of your sorcery is weak."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha reached out and gestured as she spoke, sharing her own insights with Xia De:

"You need to truly understand the power of the Silver Moon, or at least have some experience of it, rather than just understanding it in a literal sense. For the learning of sorcery, you can follow the standard process, but the path to mastery is different for everyone."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha asked Xia De to demonstrate the effect of 【Silver Moon Slash】. That brilliant silver trail of light left the writer and the doctor slightly dazed, but the fact that its destructive power was merely enough to cut an apple made them both frown.

Not asking Xia De to demonstrate the illusion, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha touched her own earlobe, tilted her head, and leaned against the sofa to ask:

"Hamilton, how do you actually view the silver moon in the night sky?"

"... Just the same as the views in the books."

Xia De had only been in contact with that moon for less than a week; he truly did not have any profound views, at most thinking the silver moon was very beautiful.

"That won't do. Perhaps you can try other methods. For example, come into contact with items related to the power of the Silver Moon to deepen your understanding."

The doctor suggested; this was also something Ring Mages often did. If you don't have spiritual runes, go into contact with corresponding books and items; if your understanding of sorcery is insufficient, go into contact with power related to the sorcery.

"Borrow books from the Academy?"

Xia De asked, while simultaneously taking stock of his meager savings in his heart.

"That's also possible, but too expensive. Let me think..."

Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha enthusiastically helped Xia De think of a way. She wrinkled her pretty brows, first looking at the doctor, and only after the latter shook his head did she say to Xia De:

"In our group, we don't currently have any items related to moonlight, but there are quite a few Ring Mages in this city."

After considering it for a moment, Miss Lu Lu Lu Yisha gave Xia De a note with an address written on it:

"Go to this shop; Old John probably has what you need. After you meet him, don't forget to say I introduced you."

"In that case, will he give me a discount for your sake?"

Xia De looked at the address on the note and felt it was quite familiar.

"No, Old John will give Lu Lu Lu Yisha a commission."

The doctor said with a smile, and Xia De finally knew why this address was familiar. This was the pawnshop where he had sold his cane, and Old John was none other than the shop's owner, John Jones.

The topic of sorcery ended there; the doctor was more concerned about Xia De's progress in inscribing the spiritual rune for 【Light】.

Xia De had not been lazy these past two days and had already read the 43-page book "The Mad Light-Chaser" in its entirety.

"If I were to give my impression, this book is very much like the incoherent ramblings of a madman, or perhaps the crazy delusions of a psychiatric patient."

The text had no main plot, and there was no connection between the previous sentence and the next. If he hadn't known of the book's power, Xia De would absolutely never have flipped through it a second time.
