Chapter 2542 The Missing Sorceress
Unlike the previous relics or potions that only had a short-term effect, this time the [Lucky Soy Milk] could provide good luck for a full 20 minutes. But it was also very expensive, even more expensive than the [Instant] coin just now.
“Destiny is not more noble than time, but this soy milk is definitely more noble than a coin!”
This was the reason Old John gave when he made the offer. Of course, he didn't just make money from Shade. Before Shade left, he also informed Shade of the results of the "time anomaly" investigation that Shade had commissioned:
"Nothing has been found. In the past few decades, there have been very few incidents of time anomalies in the material world, and the few that have been found are all clearly related to relics. But if we investigate older incidents, it is difficult to tell the truth from the false rumors that seem plausible.
There are so many places with stories and rumors about time anomalies, such as the Mazarro Snow Mountain in the Kingdom of the Islands, the Creekwood Town in the northeast of Willendel City, the uninhabited area of the Fermi Plateau in the southwest of Draerion, and the nameless village in the heart of the Rommel Mountain Range in the central and eastern part of the Old Continent.
Old John gave Shad a bulging file bag and told him to go back and read it himself.
When he returned home with these things, Dorothy and Lesia were still sleeping, and they didn't wake up until lunch time. Because the "Red Butterfly Day" was about to end, they just accompanied Shade to eat a few bites and then left, and agreed with Shade that the next Red Butterfly Day would never be postponed:
"You postpone the Red Butterfly Day every time, as if we don't care about you."
Her Royal Highness the Princess said this, and she and Dorothy kissed Shad on both cheeks, before they left in their separate carriages.
This seemed to be just another ordinary day after the Battle of Moon Bay. Because it was raining, Shade did not go out in the afternoon. Instead, he planned to go to the Prophet's Association tomorrow to see the upcoming [Old World Northern Seedlings] series of cards.
However, by the evening of that day, the weather suddenly cleared up. Knowing that no girls would stay overnight, Xia De took Mao out for a leisurely dinner.
When I got home again, it was drizzling again at night, and all the street lights around St. Teresa's Square were lit up.
“What a leisurely life.”
When Xia De opened the door, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. But after he entered the door, Xiaomia, who had jumped onto the shoe cabinet waiting for Xia De to change shoes, suddenly shouted upstairs.
Xia De looked up the stairs and quickly came to the study on the second floor. He saw the pages of poetry manuscripts glowing in the drawer, and then saw new information from the academy:
[Mr. Shad Hamilton, please arrange the projection ceremony immediately. Professor Norton, the dean of the School of Library Management, wants to see you.]
Although Xia De is also taking courses at the School of Library Management, he does not have much contact with the professors of this school. He only knows that Miss Danister is the real manager of the School of Library Management, and the dean's rank is lower than her.
As for Professor Norton, although Shade had seen him before, he was not very familiar with him:
"What happened?"
His puzzled face was reflected in the study window, but he soon sighed and turned back to prepare for the ceremony.
Everything was ready. After sitting in the chair, the scene at home became blurred like an oil painting splashed with makeup remover, and was gradually replaced by an unfamiliar spacious office. However, the curtains of the office were drawn, so Xia De could not see outside:
"Good evening, Professor Norton."
He looked at the furnishings of the office and greeted the professor he was most familiar with first, then found that there were two professors he had never met before. According to the regulations of the college, professors could not meet with correspondence ring sorcerers alone. The principal and the librarian had immunity.
Professor Norton was an old man with a big beard. He did not greet Shade:
"Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Answer this question: When was the last time you saw Miss Danister?"
Xia De, who was sitting on the chair, frowned slightly:
"Last week, last Friday night, I took the elective course "Meditation Method: The Moon Reflected in the Heart Lake". After the get out of class ended at 10 pm, I talked to Miss Danister for a few more words before leaving. At that time, I asked her what effects the Pluto Moon and the lunar eclipse would have on the meditation process in addition to the basic three-color moon.
I haven't seen her since last Friday. Oh, she said all classes this week are suspended, so even though it's Thursday now, I haven't had her class this week. What happened?"
Professor Norton did not hide it from Shade, but sighed a little tiredly:
"It's still unclear what the situation is, but you are Professor Danister's student, so I think you have the right to know that Professor Danister hasn't contacted us for three consecutive days. The professor doesn't have to report her schedule to the college every day when she takes leave. There was a document that she had to sign yesterday, but the college has contacted her but there has been no news."
"Miss Danister is missing?"
The three professors in the office shook their heads together:
"Don't say that yet. Maybe you just ran into some trouble."
"Do you know where Miss Danister went?"
"Vestal Glades, but Professor Danister said it was called 'Riverwood'."
Professor Norton said with certainty:
"Professor Danister did not conceal his whereabouts. We have already sent people to the local area. Mr. Hamilton, you don't have to worry."
Xia De also knew the whereabouts of the "Red Moon Witch". When all the investigative clues were cut off, she decided to investigate the situation of the "Astrologer Euclid" who also died in Mount Karas a hundred years ago. At that time, the astrologer was active in the Ximu Town area.
But knowing Miss Danister's destination was not enough, because the sorceress did not allow Shade to interfere in this matter, so she did not share with Shade what clues she knew.
Likewise, she had not informed the academy of her specific arrangements in Creekwood Town or Vista Glade, so even if the academy sent someone to look for her, they probably wouldn't be able to find her.
What's more, if there really is a big trouble trapping this lady in the thirteenth ring, other people going to rescue her will probably only result in more missing people.
Perhaps he guessed what Shad was thinking, or thought that Shad had a close relationship with Miss Danister, so Professor Norton consoled her:
"You probably know that Professor Danister's teacher, the previous generation's librarian, also disappeared inexplicably, but she disappeared after she left office. The principal is worried that the same thing will happen again. If the members who go to investigate do not find any clues, Principal Professor Pigman will go to the Riverwood Town area in person.
It is still unknown what happened to Miss Danister, so the college did not inform the church. You don't have to worry too much, maybe Professor Danister will contact us tomorrow morning. "
"I see."
Of course Xia De would not really feel at ease:
"If Miss Danister has any news, please inform me immediately. Or if you need my help, I am always available."
Professor Norton nodded, then motioned for the other two people in the office to leave first:
"Principal Pigman asked me to tell you something. Actually, I don't think it's necessary to tell you now, but Professor Pigman insisted that it's very important: If Professor Danister doesn't come back within three months, you need to come to the college immediately and take over the position of librarian temporarily."
"Hmm? Is there any need to be so anxious?"
Shade was far more surprised by this sentence than by Miss Danister's disappearance. After all, he felt from the beginning that any investigation related to "Karas Mountain" would definitely lead to big trouble:
"And I'm studying by correspondence, not even at the high level yet."
Professor Norton shook his head cautiously:
"Although I am the dean, there are still many things I am not clear about. I can only say that for St. Byron's to operate normally, the positions of [Principal] and [Librarian] must be supported by someone. This seems to be related to the underlying rules of this ancient academy.
Professor Danister has chosen you as the successor, and the academy has already acknowledged this, so it doesn't matter whether you are a correspondence student or an on-campus student. It's just that in this way, the relationship between the academy and the God Summoner will be weakened."
He stopped the topic in time:
"Of course, this is only the worst case scenario. We all believe that Professor Danister is just in some trouble and will be back soon. Principal Professor Pigman is only worried about the worst case scenario. He is the principal of the entire school and has a lot to consider."
Xia De didn't consider the possibility that he would suddenly become a librarian:
"Yes, then I will wait for news at home and hope everything goes well."
【You definitely don’t want to just sit and wait for news. 】
When Xia De stood up from the chair, the scene in front of him returned to the night scene at home.
He looked up at the mermaid painting on the wall:
"Of course I won't sit and wait for news. If I were still at the low level, it would be fine, but now I'm at the eighth level. There are many things I don't need to hesitate about. I'm going to Riverwood Town in person. Miss Danister must not get into any trouble."
[Shall we leave now? ]
"She" continued to ask softly, and Xia De looked out at the night:
"Even if I go to Riverwood, I don't have any clues to find Miss Danister. I remember Miss Danister said that Vista City was upgraded from the former Riverwood Town. Its area is far smaller than that of Moon Bay City, but the area of the entire Vista Forest is not small.
Now try to establish a road sign, go to Ximu Town to check and make sure there is an exit of the [Space Maze] there, and go to the Prophet Association to ask Luvia for help tomorrow morning."
Xia De has always been a man of action. Once he has made a decision, he will not delay. He just got home, so he didn't even need to change his clothes. He said goodbye to Mia and prepared to leave.
Taking the [Lucky Soy Milk], he dug out the [White Stone Crystal] from the gift box last month from the basement. Finally, in order to deal with possible dangers, he took the appropriate relics. After hesitating for a while, he still picked up the [Night Watchman], then turned around and touched the statue of the ancient god:
"May the original rift protect me in infinite space."
