After saying this, Miss Danister patted the sofa next to her:
"What are you standing there for? Sit down and talk."
"Aren't we going back to Vista City now?"
Shade asked, and the red-haired girl pretended to be angry:
"Why, you don't like going out with me? Now that we're back at the academy, of course you won't leave right away."
She saw Xia De sitting down next to her again, and then she continued speaking:
“Finish this cup of tea first, and then wait for me to retrieve the relic.
There is nothing good about demons in the academy. Researching demons and tracing their history may attract their attention, so the few projects in the academy related to those evil spirits are probably not as useful as our own investigation in Vesta City.
But the heritage of the witcher you and Flora mentioned today made me think of something. The hunters of the Third Age left behind a lot of good things, and the academy took in some of the useful equipment.
There is one relic I have hesitated to give you, but since your encounter with the demon seems inevitable, I am no longer concerned."
She did not go to get the relic herself, but sat with Xia De and continued to drink tea and chat. After a full twenty minutes, two girls who looked less than 1.3 meters tall and wore the seventh-grade uniform robes of the academy came over carrying a heavy wooden box.
The two look almost identical, they should be twins:
"Professor Danister, we have the relic."
The two men placed the wooden box on the coffee table and asked Miss Danister to sign the bill before leaving.
Miss Danister also told Shade:
"This is Sister Taya, a halfling from the School of Library Management. She is the president of the Student Union of our major."
"Can there be two student union presidents?"
Shade asked curiously, and the sorceress smiled and shook her head:
"Of course not, but people always have trouble telling them apart - that's their talent, and they're also happy to swap identities, so everyone ends up assuming that they're both student union presidents.
Okay, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s open it and take a look.”
The slender wooden box was filled with straw, in the straw was a square piece of rough gray stone, and in the stone was a scabbard.
The scabbard seemed to be made of metal and was completely black. After Shade took it out, he felt that its weight was even more exaggerated than it looked:
"What kind of metal is this with such high density?"
There were almost no decorative patterns on the scabbard, except for a pattern near the bottom that was identical to the Demon Hunting Seal. On the surface of the scabbard, some light white marks formed a short message:
[Hide the sword here, and come out when you encounter a demon. 】
Xia De fell in love with this at first sight.
"The Secret Keeper-level relic [Edgeless Blade]. Yes, although it looks like a scabbard, it can actually be used as a sword. It's just that it's not very convenient to use because of its length. The Academy had already collected this relic in the Fifth Era and has studied it thoroughly.
In simple terms, if this scabbard is used as a weapon, it will have an extraordinary damaging effect on those ancient evil spirits and demons; any sword-like weapon can be placed in this scabbard, and after more than 24 hours, it will have a special damaging effect on demons for a period of time; finally, any sword-like weapon will appear mediocre after being placed in this scabbard. "
She obviously wanted to focus on the third feature, although this feature is not as strong as the first two:
"This allows the scabbard to contain some dangerous swords, even angel-level ones. But for you, if you put your Night Watcher in it, it can perfectly hide its whispering element."
Shade was still fiddling with the scabbard. He really liked this relic:
"The whispering element of this scabbard itself is not strong. Although the pattern on the surface is easy to recognize, it is not a problem to disguise it a little bit. This relic is very good."
The red-haired girl smiled:
"I knew you would say that. But there is a problem with this relic itself. It is one of the inheritances of the witcher. If you own it, it means that the road of inheritance has been opened to you.
Although this does not mean that you will definitely become a demon hunter, the probability of encountering demons in the future will definitely increase greatly. I was worried about your safety before and did not want to mention this relic to you, but seeing your performance in Vesta City, I probably understand that you are leaving faster than I thought. "
After saying this, I couldn’t help but sigh:
"I finally made up my mind to take in an apprentice, but now I haven't felt the joy of being a teacher yet. You are even better than me."
"I am far worse than you."
Shade corrected immediately, but Miss Danister shook her head:
"Looking at your current progress, the Nine Rings are probably not far away. Please keep the scabbard. Your identity as a school director will not be exposed for the time being according to your wishes. This is a gift I bought for you from the academy."
"How does this work?"
Xia De looked at her:
“How can I spend your money?”
"I am your teacher. What's wrong with using my money to find a suitable scabbard for your sword?"
After saying this, she tilted her head again, feeling that this statement was not very appropriate:
"If Flora gave you something, would you refuse it like this?"
"This"
Xia De thought about it and decided that if it was a gift from Flora, he would refuse it at first but would definitely accept it in the end.
"Look, I obviously knew you earlier, but you think that beautiful witch is closer to you."
She shook her head, looked at Xia De with her rose-red eyes, and her voice became a little lighter:
"So, you will accept this scabbard, right?"
"Yes, I accepted it."
She then stood up with satisfaction and took a few steps forward:
"That's what you said. Let's go back. Or..."
She put her hands behind her back, smiled and turned to look at Xia De:
"Do you still want to walk around the academy with me? Anyway, I have nothing to do tonight, so I'll show you around the academy. As for Flora, she shouldn't mind if we go back a little later."
The two of them stayed in the college until nine o'clock in the evening. Although they said they were touring the school, they were actually in the library the whole time. After all, this library was big enough, and her current condition was not suitable for her to appear in front of too many people.
But Miss Danister promised Shade that after the matter of Vestal Wood was over, she would take him on a real tour of St. Byrons:
"As long as you make time and the girls in your family are okay with it."
This is what the girl, who had returned to her 18-year-old appearance, said when the two were about to return to the Accordion Hotel from the academy. Xia De didn't understand the meaning at first, but when he appeared on the first floor of his home after throwing the crystal shoes and bent down to pick up Mia, he realized that this seemed to be another satire on his love life.
But no matter what, the tiring day is over. I returned to my familiar home and took a deep breath, as if all the troubles disappeared without a trace.
This is probably what home means.
When Shad came to the second floor of his house with the Night Watcher inserted into the scabbard, he found that only Luvia was at home tonight. She seemed to have returned home very early. When Shad came to the second floor, she was writing a report in the study.
"Look at this scabbard. It was a gift from Miss Danister to me."
He also did not forget to show off to Luvia:
"How is it? Can you still feel the elements of [Night Watcher] now?"
Luvia came out of the study without even looking at what Shade was holding. Instead, she leaned against the wall and said:
"Tell me about what happened today. I feel like you were very busy today."
A lot of things did happen today, from the "ghost of resentment" in the deserted village to the death of Sister Dieflin, from the investigation of the devil involving the herbal medicine company, to meeting Emilia at St. Byrons tonight.
After Shade finished speaking, Luvia frowned:
“I don’t know the real reason why you and the doctor always focus on demons. Maybe there is really a tree hole in the hands of the demon in the woods, but compared with the battle of the chosen ones, these are insignificant things.
Before Emilia goes to the woods, Shade, I hope you can solve this troublesome matter with the doctor as soon as possible, and don't waste too much time on it. I have already discussed with Leicia, and I will take leave under the pretext of being seconded by the royal family, and go to the woods with the witches to meet you."
Shade then became serious. Luvia was right. His main quest in Vesta Forest was The Chosen One of Time.
"That demon may have four separate bodies. We must defeat them all to win. I have found two of them, and there are still two left."
"The flame that split from the devil you mentioned last time, the one you and the witch got, is it still at home?"
Luvia then asked again, and Shade nodded immediately:
"It's still there, in the lantern. I was planning to ask Sister Defulin to help dispose of it."
"Okay, take it out. I'll help you divine the location of the remaining two clones of the demon. Don't let this matter continue to take up too much of your energy."
Even the cat standing on Shade's shoulder noticed that he didn't move immediately. Shade hesitated:
"Luvia, are you sure you want to divine the devil?"
The purple eyes then looked at him, with a smile clearly in them:
"I know what you're worried about, but I got a slight feeling when I was doing astrology this fall. I've also been feeling traces of fate in my dreams recently. Plus, tonight is one of the brightest nights of the year. I'm going to try to use the starry sky as the trajectory of the ritual and try to capture the traces of the devil."
Xia De then nodded:
"Well, where do we do the divination? If we use the stars to do divination, we can't do it inside the house, right?"
