Chapter 2816 Letter and Ring
Miss Danister joked:
"And if you invite me here so late, at least you should treat me to the best tea."
"Well, not yet, but you can bring some tea back later. I'm afraid you might break my teacup."
Professor Pigman said cautiously that the current principal of St. Byron's was an elegant middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties, without glasses and with black hair. He looked even younger because he had no beard.
"what?"
The red-haired girl raised her eyebrows, and the principal behind the desk immediately smiled and said:
"Don't be so anxious. When I was your teacher of Ether Mechanics, I told you that only by staying calm can things go more smoothly."
The red-haired girl then reminded:
"But most of the students who took your Ether Mechanics course couldn't keep calm, right? What was the passing rate of our first-year students at the end of the semester? Oh, it seems that only two people passed besides me.
I still don't quite understand the theory of 'Hilbert's ether space', but I have been studying the 'systematic complex verification ritual of the particleization of the spirit on the disturbance of time' when I have nothing to do recently."
So the book Shade often sees her reading recently is this:
"I remember that because the pass rate was too low, your Ether Mechanics changed from a required course to an elective course for the entire college. And after you stopped teaching, it seems that there are only two professors who can teach this course."
"Ahem, let's not talk about this. In fact, I have always felt that it is good to let students get in touch with some cutting-edge theoretical knowledge. Although the ringmaster is a practical profession, theoretical work still needs to be done."
As he spoke, he bent down and took out a red lacquered wooden box from the drawer of his office, then pushed it across the table to the college's librarian.
The pet white mouse lying on the table immediately wanted to get closer, but the principal, Professor Pigman, waved his hand, and a silver door appeared under the mouse, and it fell into the drawer on the lower level:
"That's why I asked you to come here tonight."
"what is this?"
She reached out to open the lid, and then she heard the principal across the table say:
"Many years ago, in this office, your teacher, Professor Helena Carter, the Moon Sorcerer, gave this to me and asked me to..."
Even though he was prepared, he still tilted his head back slightly when he saw the sorceress's slightly gloomy expression when she suddenly raised her head:
"You are now in a much worse mood than when you were in school. I know you are very angry. I know you have been looking for Professor Carter. I also know that there may be some related secrets in this box, but Professor Carter did not allow me to tell you."
Seeing Miss Danister taking a deep breath to adjust her mood, he recalled:
"At that time, Professor Carter told me to give it to you in the early morning of Thursday after you went to Vista Forest and applied to the academy to buy the relic [Edgeless Blade]. It's a strange request, right? I don't understand it, but since it was Professor Carter's request, I couldn't refuse. Speaking of which, she disappeared not long after she left it with me.
I don’t know if the contents of this box are related to the professor’s departure and disappearance, and I have no intention of disrupting the professor’s arrangements, so I didn’t take it out until today.”
There is a seal of the moon engraved on the box, a seal that only Helena Carter and Danister Gustave can break.
After opening the box, Miss Danister first saw a folded note. The handwriting on the note was very familiar to her, but there were only two short sentences on it:
[Xia De is fine, I will return to your time soon. ]
【Give this to him.】
After taking away the note, a silver ring was placed in the box, and a thin and short silver chain was wrapped around the ring to store it. Seeing Miss Danister pick up the ring, the principal across the table said:
"Oh, isn't this the [Ouroboros Ring]? I've seen Professor Carter wear this ring a few times, but she doesn't use it often, and she never lends it out. Did she leave it to you as a souvenir? By the way, does this ring have an inhibitory effect on your curse?"
The red-haired girl continued to look gloomy, and she looked even worse than before:
"She didn't mention me in her letter, and she asked me to pass the ring on to someone else. She knew she was leaving and she didn't leave anything behind. I won't use this ring. It's not for me."
So the headmaster behind the desk shut up, and Miss Danister put the ring and the note back in silence, then asked:
"How is the preparation of the team from the academy to support Vista Forest?"
"The 'Proof of Time' ritual is very effective, and most people have completed the ritual. However, the Yuexi Clan will also send people this time, and they still need to prepare, so they will probably leave next Monday."
"Where's Miss Sienold?"
"She will leave a day ahead of the team and will be sent directly to you. The academy will contact you then. She wants to bring the unicorn with her, so you also need to think about where Miss Siamnod will live in advance."
Miss Danister nodded, didn't ask for any tea, said goodbye, grabbed the box on the table and left.
The principal, who was sitting behind his desk, heard her go downstairs, took out his memo and crossed out the top line of letters.
Almost at the same time Miss Danister set out to return to Vista City, in the depths of the dense forest where the flames were gradually extinguished, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, scaring Dr. Bill Schneider who was limping in the forest looking for Shad.
The lightning almost struck him directly, almost hitting him. At the location where the lightning fell, a crack appeared in the space almost immediately. Then Shade walked out of the vast white fog behind the crack with the Night Watchman and looked around vigilantly.
The frightened doctor heaved a sigh of relief and immediately went to meet him:
"Don't be so vigilant. The battle is over. You finally showed up. I was just wondering if I told Anat I lost you after returning to Tobesk, would she curse me and make my luck even worse than it is now."
The forest fire had been almost put out, and the late autumn night wind was blowing through the forest. The moonlight was shining down and illuminating the woodland. There was indeed no danger here.
Xia De looked at his finger to make sure that the ring was not brought back by him:
"That tree disappeared on its own? And doctor, are you okay?"
This happened a day ago for him, and he had thought that he would have to fight another fierce battle after returning.
The doctor shook his head:
"I was knocked away and couldn't move. When I was able to move again, I rushed back. At that time, you and the tree disappeared. What happened? That tree is what you said. Why do I feel that you always encounter this kind of enemy, and each time it is more exaggerated than the last.
And don't worry about me, I'm fine."
But the doctor's situation was not as easy as he said. Shad was exiled from the present time by the tree, and the doctor was not just knocked away.
There were still scratches on his face that had not yet healed, and he was limping when he met up with Shade just now. However, the doctor was not cursed by the power of the tree. It was just that the tree had the power to suppress the natural recovery of life forms, and the doctor had a deep understanding of this:
"It's not like it's limiting my natural ability to recover, it's more like it's freezing the concept of 'recovery' in time."
But he didn't care at all:
"It's not permanent. It will heal after a while. Detective, that tree's target is obviously you rather than me. I was just shooed away like a fly. Maybe even that evil creature doesn't want to get involved with me."
He even had the mind to make a joke at this moment. Xia De was speechless for a moment. He just wanted to apologize for implicating the doctor, but now he didn't know what to say.
"I was banished from the present time, but I found a way back in the past."
The return of Shade also meant that the "Demon Hunt" activity was a complete success, so although he was injured, the doctor was in a good mood at the moment. His long-term goal had taken a big step forward, which he had never dared to think about before he met Shade last summer:
"I'm glad you're back. Before you go back, come with me and take a look around here. When I was looking for you just now, I found a strange place nearby."
As he said this, he waved to Xia De again, then flew directly into the air. Xia De then turned into a group of butterflies and followed him.
The strange place the doctor mentioned was about two miles away from where the two had just met. That location was not hidden by any means. Theoretically, anyone could see it as long as they could walk to this location in the dense forest and defeat the demon that was lurking nearby and had almost become a natural phenomenon in the forest.
The doctor landed in the forest, and Shade turned back into human form and found that there was actually a forest path here. The path only extended to this location and stopped, and the destination of the two was in front.
The doctor explained:
"You have to take this road to get to that place. If you fly in the air, you can't get there even if you know the location."
After walking forward for more than twenty steps, the view ahead suddenly became clear.
The two of them released some light balls to illuminate the large clearing in the forest. When Xia De looked around at the edge of the clearing, he immediately discovered that there was a giant tree facing the end of the path.
Shade had seen many big trees in Vista Forest, but the "giant tree" mentioned here was truly a "giant tree". In his impression, only the tree he planted on the top of Mount Xikar, which symbolized the "Kiss of the Tree" and sealed the [Border of Life and Death], could be compared to this tree.
