Chapter 2584 The Teacher Who Should Not Appear
Instead of leaving the tavern to wander around Little Miguel Village, Shad and Miss Danister sat here and waited.
They talked about the secrets that the Hermits might be hiding, the secrets that had been discovered locally in recent days, and even the Moondance Festival concert that was about to begin at the weekend.
The hermit Mr. Bell Van Buren said he would be back in about two hours, which made Miss Shad and Miss Danister guess where their real residence was, but in fact he was back in more than an hour.
There were two other elderly white-haired hermits who came with them. They were also wrapped in brown coarse robes, but the villagers in the tavern were not surprised by them. It was obvious that these hermits often appeared in the village.
When they entered the tavern, the red-haired girl was smiling and asking Shad what he thought of Flora Winslet.
"Thank you for the return of the Holy Symbol, Mr. Watson."
The two old hermits seemed to be elders of the [Hermit Group in the Forest]. They came specially to thank Shade and told Shade how to contact them in the village and the city. They regarded Shade as a true friend.
Xia De also left the address of the Accordion Hotel as his mailing address, so that the two sides established a mutual communication channel.
The three hermits brought information about "Astrologer Euclid", but it was just a slightly yellowed notebook:
"Three years ago, a strange sorceress visited the woodland and had a brief encounter with us. The lady was very powerful, and we didn't know why she came to the local area, but she talked to our chief elder about the topic of 'Astrologer Euclid'."
The old hermit who called himself "Kirk Jarvis" said, and Shad was even more surprised:
"You mean, someone also inquired about the astrologer Euclid three years ago?"
As he said this, he glanced at Miss Danister, who shook her head and didn't know what was going on.
"Yes, she didn't want others to know her identity. She was active in Vista Forest for half a month and then there was no news. She probably left the area. We couldn't help her much, and she didn't leave anything behind.
As for this notebook, it is the diary of the elder of the hermit group a hundred years ago. The astrologer is mentioned in it, so the lady three years ago saw it, and I think you should need it too. "
The old hermit handed the notebook to Xia De, who glanced through it and found that it was indeed a diary, but the recorder was not diligent and only wrote one entry every week, so it could also be called a "weekly diary."
There is very little content about "Astrologer Euclid", only these two articles: "1750th of the month of Frost, 15" and "1750rd of the month of Frost, 23".
The owner of the diary said that on the 15th, he met an astrologer from outside the area while shopping in Ximu Town. The two chatted in the tavern for an afternoon and got along well with each other, so they exchanged personal belongings as gifts.
Later, on the night of the 23rd, the narrator ran into an astrologer who was preparing to observe the stars in the forest. This time they talked about the relationship between astrology and disasters. The astrologer even said that the stars indicated that there was a high probability that a terrible disaster would occur in the local area ten years later.
"Ok?"
Xia De frowned, because next to this diary, there was clearly some new ink writing the phrase "Red Moon Mutation". The handwriting of the writer of the diary was completely different from the newer handwriting. The former was written by a man, and the latter's cursive letters were most likely written by a woman.
"The note next to it was left by a lady three years ago."
The old hermit reminded, and Miss Danister tilted her head and looked at the notebook.
"Ten years after the year 1750 written in the diary, isn't that 1760? I heard from the local black market that a terrible red moon anomaly occurred in the night of that year in Ximu Town (Chapter 2545)."
Xia De asked, and the old hermit nodded slowly:
"Yes, that astrologer successfully predicted the disaster ten years later through the stars, so we have an impression of this name that only appeared twice in the diary."
Xia De was amazed at this. Although astrology is also an important part of divination, its complexity can actually be regarded as a separate discipline.
Even Luvia, who has passed the "Registered Fortune Teller" exam, now only dares to say that she has "learned the basics of astrology", while Mr. Euclid who lived a hundred years ago was obviously a master of astrology.
However, the diary did not record other things in detail, so it only let Xia De know the specific time when "Astrologer Euclid" appeared in Ximu Town, which was the Frost Descent Month of 1750 in the Common Calendar, which was 104 years ago.
"The dates that the cabinet can lead to are 1698, 1763 and 1834, and it seems that none of them is far from 1750."
But no matter what, this is also a major gain. Shad looked up and wanted to ask Miss Danister's opinion, but he saw the eighteen-year-old girl sitting next to him staring at the notebook in his hand.
"what happened?"
She reached out and pinched Xia De's arm. Even with Xia De's current physical condition, he felt a little pain.
The two looked at each other, and Xia De actually felt that he could read the red-haired girl's thoughts at the moment from those rose-red eyes that were filled with anxiety and disbelief.
So he continued to ask the three hermits:
"Do you know anything else about the lady from three years ago? For example, where did she go afterwards? Since she is also investigating the matter of the astrologer, maybe we can ask her for help."
"That's all we know."
The hermits all shook their heads, but the oldest one thought for a moment and said:
"However, we do know where she lived during her activities in the local area. She did not live in the city, but in a logging camp not far from here. The logging camp was rumored to be haunted more than ten years ago, and then several loggers died one after another, so it was abandoned.
Later we sent people to investigate and eliminated the evil spirits entrenched there, but the sawmill has not been used since then. Do you have a map? I will mark the location for you."
Shad did have a map in his hand, and after confirming the location of the logging camp, he stood up, holding Miss Danister's hand, thanked and said goodbye to the three hermits, and then left the tavern.
Of course, the notebook had been returned to the hermits, and when the two of them left the village and went deep into the woods, the red-haired girl finally spoke with her lips pursed:
"The annotations on that diary are in the teacher's handwriting! I won't make a mistake. The teacher came to Vista Grove three years ago!"
Xia De didn't say anything, but just held her hand and walked through the woods. Then she said in a low voice:
"But we all know that this is impossible. The teacher died on Mount Karas many years ago. This is the conclusion given by the [Silver Moon Library], but the handwriting is definitely correct."
"We originally came to Riverwood just to investigate the astrologer who had also been to Mount Karas. Before just now, we didn't know that your teacher had also investigated Euclid."
Shade added:
"Combining the above information and conclusions, the most reasonable speculation at present is: Is this another time travel?
Your teacher who was secretly investigating astrologers had come to this woodland before he disappeared, and found a tree hole in the forest and thus appeared in 1851 three years ago?"
"I don't know, Shad."
She pursed her lips and held Xia De's hand even more tightly, as if she was holding the answer:
"Will I still have a chance to see the teacher?"
"Do you want to go back to the past?"
Xia De turned to look at her:
"You're eighteen now. Do you want to be eight next time?"
Danister Gustav also looked at him stubbornly:
"I'm just asking you: Will you help me?"
"I'll help you not make the wrong choice."
"Is it up to you to decide what is right and what is wrong?"
She asked with her rose-red eyes wide open, looking a little angry. This was consistent with the behavior of an 18-year-old, so Xia De was not bothered by it. He just nodded as a matter of course:
"I am older than you and my rank is higher than yours, so it is reasonable for me to help you make the judgment."
She shook off Xia De's hand, and Xia De took two more steps forward before turning around and stopping.
At this moment, the two of them had come to a sparse woodland outside the village. It was a small open space. The autumn afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the treetops that had not yet turned yellow. In the swaying, mottled shadows of the trees, she looked at him:
"Even if I become like this, I am still your teacher."
The pair of rose-red eyes gradually lit up, but Xia De shook his head:
"I'm not denying that, I'm just saying that in case something unexpected happens, I'm here to make sure you don't make the wrong decision."
"Shad. I need you to help me!"
The sorceress put her hands together, and then a bright red light struck Shade.
She gave Shade enough time to react, so Shade, who swung with one hand, also chopped out bright silver moonlight.
The red moon and the silver moon collided in a cross shape in the middle of the open space. As the light particles flew in the sunlight, the red-haired girl turned herself into a blood light and rushed towards Xia De. With a loud bang, Xia De, whose feet left two drag marks on the ground, slid back three meters and blocked the impact of the blood light.
In the bloody light, he just moved his left arm forward to block. The light melted his sleeves, causing the skin on his entire left arm to ulcerate, but it still couldn't hide the fact that Shade only used his left arm to block the attack.
In the light, Danister pursed his lips and looked at his injured arm, beginning to regret, but Shade did not think about ending it:
"Night Seal!"
The expanding inky black shield almost immediately repelled the blood light outwards. The sorceress who appeared in the blood light flew backwards and stopped only after hitting a large tree next to the open space.
