Chapter Thirty-Eight: Priest Augustus of the Church of Dawn
In addition to the research on core spiritual runes, Shade also tried other "simple" attempts mentioned in the doctor's notebook.
Doctor Schneider pointed out that the power possessed by a ring magician is the power of thoughts to influence reality, so even without learning any thaumaturgy or incantation, he can still use his own power, which is the so-called "mind is stronger than matter".
Among them, the power derived from the core spiritual runes that is used spontaneously was unified and called "thaumaturgy" in ancient times; the power that is only related to thoughts and is used spontaneously without learning is called "spell" after being organized into a system.
.
Of course, the academy believes that the classification of "spells" also includes "divine arts" related to the righteous gods, which originate from faith and direct gifts from the righteous gods, but Shade and the doctor's studies do not involve these. The church believes that
The classification of "magic" should be separated from that of incantation, as the two are essentially different.
In the early days of this era, after a series of fierce debates among various parties in the circle magician academic circles, the "divine arts" of the five righteous gods and the existing evil gods were officially listed alongside "thaumaturgy" and "spells" as the outermost part of the circle magician's power system.
In performance.
The magical arts of the extinct old gods are still "spells" because their believers have no say.
Therefore, the spell "Echo of Blood" that Shade obtained from the old god "Vampire Duke Loair" should essentially be the magic of the old god.
You will never learn.
Therefore, the core of the Ring Warlock system is [Spirit Runes], [Thumborg] which is powerful and effective but must be learned through the Spirit Runes, [Spells] which have low priority but can be learned, and [Spells] which are related to gods and beliefs.
Divine Magic] is the embodiment of the power of the Ring Warlock system.
"The level upgrade requires one each of the four spiritual runes of Miracle, Blasphemy, Enlightenment, and Whisper. The relationship between spiritual runes and incantation, divine magic, and thaumaturgy is similar to [Tao] and [Magic]. Sure enough, the balance of spiritual runes
Acquiring the knowledge of thaumaturgy is also very important."
This is the understanding of foreigners.
Shade tried to light a piece of paper with his fingers, which was the prototype of a simple spell. In this day's experiment, he also successfully realized the movement of extremely light objects with the power of his mind, which is the so-called "moving objects through the air"
.
He was probably extremely talented at using this spirit. In addition to moving a handful of little Mia's hair and a Rhodes card with his eyes almost bleeding, when he concentrated on looking at the target in front of him, he closed his fists and faced
When I typed the bound volume of the thick pirated book "The Detective's Elegy", even if I didn't touch the novel, which was as thick as a dictionary, the book could fly a few centimeters instead of being carried down by the wind.
This pirated detective novel was not bought by Shade with random money. It is a relic of the former detective. It is one of the few books he has including "The Queen and Her Lovers", "The Silver Knight" and "Collections of the Western Front".
This novel.
The first one is a colorful palace novel, the middle one is a very traditional chivalric adventure novel, and the last one is a novel that prefers documentary literature.
Detective Sparrow Hamilton often looks through these books, and the inadvertently folded footers and traces of tea dripping prove that this is his hobby.
As for the only [Relic] in his hand, which is the clerical-level relic [Vampire Ring], Shade couldn't find a living person to experiment on, so he couldn't understand its specific effect. But he had already removed the pocket watch chain and made the ring.
If it becomes a pendant and hangs in his neck, it does not count as wearing it. Therefore, as long as it is not worn 24 hours a day, it will not have a particularly big impact on him.
Shade plans to consult doctors and others tomorrow. Correspondence magicians with rich experience will definitely be able to give good suggestions on how to use it.
Wednesday finally came, but Shade woke up early not because of excitement, but because of the nightmare of having a heavy object pressed on his chest.
It was only bright in the summer morning, and the extremely weak light shone into the room through the tightly closed curtains. When Shade woke up, he still felt that his chest was still tight, and about 5 seconds later he realized that there was a cat lying there.
There is currently only one foster orange cat in Shade's home, so it was little Mia who woke Shade up.
It stared at amber eyes, lying on the quilt on Shade's chest and watching him. When it found out that he woke up, it immediately jumped out of bed. Judging from the stamping sound, it ran towards the door of the house.
"You only came here once yesterday and you already know? The milkman won't arrive for another half an hour."
Shade shouted to the cat, imagining the books and courses worth 50 pounds that he would get today, filling his chest with passion, and then left the bed.
Room 1 on the second floor of the apartment is quite large, but it only has two bedrooms. Shade lives in the smaller one, which is also the residence of the original owner who has a bad head. The larger room is the room where the former detective died.
, Shade didn't feel very scared about it, but he didn't plan to move there.
Only after a few days did he contact the businessman who purchased the old furniture, transport the bed away, and ask Dr. Schneider about the method of detecting ghosts, would he consider moving into a large bedroom.
After leaving little Mia at home to take care of the house and setting aside enough cat food in the small bowl prepared for her, Shade went out. The appointment with the doctor was at ten o'clock in the morning, and the clinic was quite far away from Saint Teresa Square.
Shade thought he could arrive around half past nine, but probably because he was too much looking forward to it, he saw the sign of Schneider Psychological Clinic one minute before nine.
Without going anywhere else to kill time, Shade walked directly in. The doctor had already told the receptionist of the clinic that Detective Hamilton, who was "suffering from depression because of his uncle's death," would be here today, so he directly directed Shade to the room on the second floor.
Psychiatric clinic.
After knocking on the door, the doctor immediately came to open the door, and by this time there was another person in the room.
The gray-haired old man in a decent black formal suit stood up, nodded slightly and smiled at Shade. His gentle smile made people very fond of him. His eyes were common gray and wrinkled, and he was probably over fifty years old, but
Looks very energetic.
He is slightly taller than the doctor, but shorter than Shade. He is medium to thin and looks like he does not live a very prosperous life.
Shade's eyes were attracted by the hanging ornament hanging on the old man's chest. The ornament itself was hung on a silver chain, and the appearance of the ornament was 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 their chests.
"Huh? Clergy? Although the college is not hostile to the Zhengshen Church, but..."
Shade wondered in his heart.
"let me introduce."
Seeing Shade's confusion, Dr. Schneider said enthusiastically:
"Shad, this is Priest Rat Augustus, the second-level sorcerer of this group, and a loyal follower of Mr. Dawn. Although he is a priest of the church, he did not become a sorcerer through the church's channels, which is rare in the world.
A priest who awakened his talent at an advanced age and joined the academy's clergy due to some strange combination of circumstances.
He has no prejudice against the college, and will not disclose our identity information to the church as long as we do not harm Dawn Church. He is worthy of trust."
Although the talent of ring magicians can theoretically appear at all ages, it is generally concentrated between the ages of 16 and 40. The old priest August is an extremely rare case.
"Don't worry, I can swear on the honor of myself, Bill Jane Snyder, that Priest Augustus is absolutely trustworthy. He joined us after three people, including me, and the college reviewed him. Augustus was the one who joined us.
With the priest here, some of our actions will be very convenient."
The doctor continued, and the gray-haired old priest took the initiative to come over and shake hands with Shade. Naturally, Shade believed the doctor's words, so he also hurriedly stretched out his hand. The old man's palm was broad and quite strong.
