[WP] Chapter 41 Special Notice

[WP] Chapter 41 Special Notice

Shade looked at the elective course parchment scroll with a stern face, which looked more like a price list. According to his actual situation (city, occupation, age), the college he joined, and the core spirit runes, the college opened nearly 200 elective courses to him in the first grade, including "Inspiration Divination" and "Easy Acquisition of Four Elements Spirit Runes," which were quite useful at first glance. Some courses require the completion of basic courses or elective courses before they can be selected; otherwise, Shade will see more elective courses.

The cost of the cheaper courses is more than 20 pounds, and the most expensive ones cannot even be paid in currency but in [relics] or other requirements and tasks.

Fortunately, you can choose elective courses at any time. If you are willing to pay, you can contact the college directly when you come to the doctor every Saturday.

Dr. Schneider suggested that Shade familiarize himself with the basic courses for some time before considering the issue of elective courses; the old priest recommended some more useful courses; Miss Louisa helped Shade directly cross out some of them. She spent a lot of money on courses in her first year because she had just received a large amount of royalties, so she knew which ones were not needed for the time being:

"You don't have to pass the elective courses. The college and professors don't care about this. But elective courses are a good opportunity for us correspondence ring wizards to contact and get familiar with the college professors. You know, whether some valuable elective courses are open or not is also related to the professors' wishes."

Miss Louisa went on to introduce that Shade was very familiar with this set. Although it was slightly different from the past, she was very accustomed to such rules.

Reading the list of elective courses in his hand, he subconsciously turned to the back when he read to the end. He thought there would be no text on the back of the parchment, but he didn't expect there would be:

[First Ring Wizard, Mr. Shade Suellen Hamilton:

Please prepare four wooden chairs in an empty room at midnight today, without any holy emblems of gods. Place the four chairs facing each other in the four directions of due east, due west, due south, and due north, and surround a non-pure silver basin filled with water. You need to sit on the chair due north before midnight, light the paper roll, and throw it into the basin.

Please dress formally, turn on the gas lamp, close the curtains, and don't tell anyone about this, including the same group of ring wizards. Professor Hames Sanchez of the College of Library Management and Professor Heseng Garcia of the College of History want to see you.

St. Byron's Comprehensive College-Student Administration Office

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Shade staring at the back of the parchment, Miss Louisa also looked at the back of the parchment:

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

Miss Louisa was in a position where she could see the words, but she acted as if she saw nothing.

"Only I can see these? What does college mean? Is there a secret mission for me? Talking to me alone, is my identity as an outsider exposed?"

Shade thought to himself wrote down the news, rolled up the parchment again, and put it on the sofa.

Because of Shade's [Time and Space] core spirit rune, the History College promised to provide him with a [Secret Keeper-level] relic for self-defense after he joined. This relic appeared after all the books and documents were delivered and the receipt was confirmed.

The upper limit of the items that can be delivered by the poet-level relic is limited to the [Secret Keeper-level], and only some Secret Keeper-level relics can be transmitted. Therefore, he thinks the history college has also taken great pains for him.

The [relic] is placed in a cubic, rusty bronze box, less than the size of a palm, and the patterns on the surface of the box depict incomprehensible vine-like patterns.

Under the bronze box is a document describing the function of this [relic].

The relic is not given to Shade. If he leaves the History College or leaves St. Byron's Comprehensive College, he needs to hand in this [relic] again, but if he graduates normally, he does not need to.

[You have touched the 'whisper'.]

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

"[The 20-sided dice of fate]?"

Shade did not shy away from others and directly opened the antique-like bronze box. The inside of the box was almost solid metal, with only a bronze dice inlaid in the center.

The surface was rusty, the 20-sided dice were sunken in the metal surface of the dice, the numbers were all golden, and some were almost integrated with the rust, which was a trace of time.

"I know this!"

Miss Louisa said in surprise, raising her hand as if to touch her earlobe, but then shaking her head.

"No, it should be said that 'another me' knows this. I probably accidentally scanned the information about these dice in the book. But why would the academy give you such a dangerous relic?"

"All relics are dangerous. These are the terrible residues condensed from the whispers of the past."

Priest Augustus reminded, but Miss Writer shook her head, her golden hair shaking slightly.

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

On the one hand, when carrying dice, most divinations cannot be used for carrying The dice work, but only when carried. Carrying the dice for a long time will cause a permanent decline in one's luck. I know that luck is an unmeasurable concept, but the [Whisper] element interferes with luck.

On the other hand, the dice can be thrown actively. There is only one chance per day. When the dice are thrown, an event related to the thrower will be determined by the size of the dice number. The larger the number, the better the luck and no tricks can be used to determine the random number."

"Anything related to the user?"

Dr. Schneider grasped the key point. He was considered by others in the same group to have bad luck, so he was particularly concerned about this relic.

"Yes, so usually after throwing it once, you won't know what was affected immediately, but you will understand it later. This is also one of the characteristics of the twenty-sided dice of fate."

The blonde lady moved away from the bronze box in Shade's hand with some fear.

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

The information provided by the academy is similar to what Miss Louisa said. These dice can only be contained in a bronze box made of special materials. Instead of being contained, the dice will always lure the holder to throw it out unintentionally, and the probability of throwing it out is not average for each number. The probability below 10 is the highest, which will cause terrible things.

Therefore, Miss Louisa strongly suggested that Shade should not use the active effect of the dice but only treat it as a [relic] that interferes with divination.
