Chapter 2542 The Missing Sorceress
Unlike previous relics or potions that only had short-term effects, this time [Lucky Soy Milk] can provide good luck for a full 20 minutes. But it is also very expensive, even more expensive than the [Instant] coin just now.
"Although fate is not nobler than time, this soy milk is definitely nobler than coins!"
This was the reason given by Old John when he raised the price. Of course, he not only made money from Sha De. Before Sha De left, he also informed Sha De about the "time anomaly" commissioned by Sha De. Result:
"No results. In recent decades, there have been very few incidents of time anomalies in the material world, and the few incidents are clearly related to relics. But if you investigate longer-distant incidents, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from some specious rumors. False.
The Mazaro Snow Mountains in the Kingdom of the Islands, the town of Ximu in the northeast of Willendale City, the uninhabited land of the Fermi Plateau in the southwest of Delarian, and the nameless villages in the hinterland of the Rommel Mountains in the central and eastern part of the Old World, the existence time There are so many places with unusual stories and rumors. ”
Old John gave Shad a bulging document bag and asked Shad to go back and read it by himself.
When he returned home with these things, Dorothy and Lesia were still sleeping, and they did not wake up until lunch time. Because the "Red Butterfly Day" was about to end, they casually accompanied Shade for a few bites before leaving separately, and agreed with Shade that the next Red Butterfly Day would never be postponed:
"Putting off Red Butterfly Day every time is like we don't care about you."
Her Royal Highness the Princess said this, and she and Dorothy kissed Shade on the cheeks one by one, and then left in the carriage.
This seemed to be another ordinary day after the Battle of Moon Bay. Because it was raining, Shade did not go out again in the afternoon, but thought about going to the Prophet Association tomorrow to see the upcoming "Old Continent North" Seedlings] series of cards.
However, the weather suddenly became clear in the evening. Knowing that there would be no girls staying overnight, Shade took Nekomata out for a leisurely dinner.
When I returned home, it was drizzling again, and all the street lights in Saint Teresa Square were already on.
"What a leisurely life."
When Shade opened the door, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but after entering the door, little Mia, who jumped on the shoe cabinet to wait for Shade to change shoes, suddenly shouted upstairs.
Xia De looked up the stairs, and when he quickly arrived at the study room on the second floor, he saw the poetry pages in the drawer glowing, and then saw new information from the college:
[Mr. Shade Hamilton, please arrange the projection ceremony immediately. Professor Norton, the dean of the School of Library Management, wants to see you. 】
Although Shade is currently taking courses at the School of Library Management, he does not have much contact with the professors in this school. He only knows that Miss Danister is the real manager of the School of Library Management. The leader is lower than her.
As for Professor Norton, although Shade has seen him before, he is not very familiar with him:
"What happened?"
His confused face was reflected in the study window, but he soon sighed again and turned to prepare for the ceremony.
Everything was ready. After sitting on the chair, the scene at home became blurry like an oil painting with makeup remover splashed on it, and was gradually replaced by a strange and spacious office. It’s just that the curtains in the office are closed, so Shade can’t see outside:
"Good evening, Professor Norton."
He saw the furnishings of the office clearly, and said hello to the professor he was most familiar with first, and then found that two professors he had never seen before were also here. According to college regulations, professors cannot meet alone with correspondence magicians. The principal and the librarian are exempt.
Professor Norton is a bearded old man, but he did not exchange greetings with Shade:
"Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry to bother you so late. Answer this question: When was the last time you saw Miss Denister?"
Xia De frowned slightly on the chair:
"Last week, I took the elective course "Meditation: The Moon Reflected in the Heart Lake" last Friday night. After class ended at ten o'clock in the evening, Miss Danister and I spoke a few words alone before leaving. I asked for advice at that time In addition to the basic three-color moon, what effects will the dark moon and lunar eclipse have during meditation?
I haven't seen her since last Friday. Oh, she said all classes are on hold this week, so even though it's Thursday, I haven't been to her class this week. What's going on? ”
Professor Norton did not hide it from Shade, but sighed slightly tiredly:
"It's not clear what the situation is now, but you are Professor Danist's student. I think you have the right to know that Professor Danist has not contacted us for three consecutive days. The professor is on leave and does not need to report to us every day. There was a document that she had to sign yesterday when the college was reporting the itinerary, but the college contacted her but there was no news."
"Miss Denister is missing?"
The three professors in the office shook their heads together:
"Don't say that yet, maybe I just ran into some trouble."
"Do you know where Miss Daniste went?"
"Vestal Grove, but Professor Danist was talking about the old name of 'Creekwood'."
Professor Norton said with certainty:
"Professor Danister did not hide his whereabouts. We have already sent people to the local area. Mr. Hamilton, you don't have to worry."
Shad also knew the whereabouts of the "Red Moon Witch". When all the investigation clues were interrupted, she decided to investigate the situation of "Astrologer Euclid" who also died in Karas Mountain a hundred years ago. , and that astrologer was active in the Ximu Town area back then.
But knowing Miss Danister's destination was not enough, because the sorceress did not let Shade get involved in the matter, so she did not share with Shade what clues she knew.
Similarly, she did not explain to the college her specific action arrangements in Ximu Town, or in the Vista Woodland, so even if the college sent people to look for her, they might not be able to find her.
What's more, if there is really big trouble trapping this lady with thirteen rings, others going to rescue may only add more missing people.
Perhaps he guessed what Shade was thinking, or thought that Shade and Miss Danister were closely related, Professor Norton also comforted him:
"As you probably know, Professor Danister's teacher, the librarian of the previous generation, also disappeared inexplicably, but she disappeared after leaving office. The principal is worried that the same thing will happen again. If you go The members of the investigation found no clues, and the principal, Professor Pigman, will personally go to the Ximu Town area.
It is still unknown what happened to Miss Danister, so the college did not notify the church. Don't worry too much, maybe Professor Danist will contact us tomorrow morning. ”
"I understand."
Of course Xia De is not really relieved:
"If there is any news about Miss Danister, please inform me as soon as possible. Or if you need my help, I am always available."
Professor Norton nodded, and then motioned to the other two people in the office to leave first:
"Principal Pigman asked me to tell you something. In fact, I don't think it is necessary to say it now, but Professor Pigman insists that it is important: If Professor Danister has not come back within three months, you I need to leave immediately to come to the college and temporarily take over the position of librarian."
"Huh? Is it necessary to be so anxious?"
Shad was much more surprised by these words than Miss Denister's disappearance. After all, he felt from the beginning that all investigations related to "Karas Mountain" would definitely lead to big trouble:
"And I'm studying by correspondence, and I'm not even a senior high school student."
Professor Norton shook his head cautiously:
"Although I am the dean, there are still many things that I am not clear about. I can only say that if St. Byrons wants to operate normally, the two positions of [principal] and [librarian] must be supported. This It seems to be related to the underlying rules of this ancient college.
Professor Danister has chosen you as his successor, which is recognized by the college, so it doesn’t matter whether you are a correspondence student or an on-campus student. Just in this way, the connection between the academy and the God Caller"
He stopped the topic in time:
"Of course, this is just the worst case scenario. We all believe that Professor Denister just encountered some trouble and will be back soon. The principal, Professor Pigman, is only worried about the worst case scenario. He is the whole School principals have many things to consider."
Xia De did not consider the possibility of suddenly becoming a librarian:
"Yes, then I will wait for the news at home and hope everything goes well."
[You definitely don’t want to wait for news. 】
When Shade stood up from the chair, the scene in front of him returned to the night scene at home.
He looked up at the mermaid oil painting on the wall:
"Of course I won't sit down and wait for news. It would be fine if I was still at the lower level. Now that I am at the eighth level, there are many things that I don't need to hesitate about. I will go to Ximu Town myself, Miss Danister. But nothing will happen."
【Are you leaving now? 】
"She" continued to ask softly, Shade looked at the night outside:
"Even if I arrive at Ximu Town, I don't have any clues to find Miss Daniste. I remember Miss Daniste said that Vista City was upgraded from the former Ximu Town, and its area is far away. It’s not as big as Yuewan City, but the entire Vista Woodland is quite large
Now try to set up road signs, go to Ximu Town to check to make sure there is an exit to the [Space Maze] there, and go to the Prophet Association tomorrow morning to ask Luvia for help. ”
Xia De has always been a person who takes action very quickly. Once he has made a decision, he will not delay it. It happened that he had just returned home, and he didn't even need to change his clothes. He said goodbye to little Mia and was ready to go.
Taking the [Lucky Soy Milk], I rummaged through the basement and found the [White Stone Crystal] I got from the gift box last month. Finally, I took the appropriate relics to deal with the possible dangers, and hesitated. He picked up the [Night Watch] for a moment, then turned around and touched the statue of the ancient god:
"May the original crack protect me in the infinite space
