Iluna did bring the [Thunder God's Wrath] when she came that night. After dinner, Luvia took the initiative to try to use this coin to divination the method of "removing the time curse", and the divination was exactly as Shade thought.
invalid.
If the divination of special coins could find a way to clear the time curse, long-haired Luvia would definitely have done it long ago.
As for that night, Iluna and Carina left at about nine o'clock, and the latter left the night to Luvia. So at midnight, the purple-eyed girl asked Shade again about the "
What does the great witch of "death" think? Shade looked suspiciously at the glowing purple eyes close at hand:
"What I saw was a chubby round-faced owl. What do you want me to think?"
Luvia smiled and hugged his neck:
"Are you really going to tell Miss Flora Winslet who you are tomorrow?"
"If there are no other accidents, I think so. Luvia, is there anything wrong?"
"Well no, I support whatever decision you make."
She gently kissed the side of Shade's face and smiled as she looked at him lying on his side with his back to the moonlight:
"I love you"
"I know."
"Until the end of time."
The next day was Saturday. Considering that there was a group study meeting in the afternoon, Shade entrusted little Mia to Luvia's care early in the morning and set off for Vista City.
Wearing a garland, we walked through the woodland, but this time we didn't meet the mysterious elf. So we arrived at the Accordion Hotel in the city center smoothly. After knocking on the door of Miss Danister's hotel room, we saw the eighteen-year-old
The red-haired girl was sitting on the sofa reading a book, while the chubby round-faced owl was standing on the bird stand hanging in front of the window.
Compared to yesterday when he was just looking at Shade secretly, early this morning the owl immediately cast its sharp gaze over.
Shade just glanced at it and then looked away. He stood at the door and said to the sorceress on the sofa:
"Good morning, Miss Daniste."
"Good morning, Shade."
She stood up and greeted Shade without asking where Shade was from, just like she didn't ask where Shade went last night.
Teacups and teapots were already placed on the coffee table. When Shade sat down on the short sofa on the side, he asked:
"Miss Daniste, how are you feeling today? Did you drink the holy water and potion I left yesterday on time?"
"I feel much better today. I used the magic trick 'Moon Dream' last night. Although the time curse is still there, my physical condition has been maintained."
She let two cups of black tea float towards herself and Shade respectively:
"Before going to bed last night, I contacted the college. I said that after going deep into the forest, I encountered a ruins in an abnormal space area, and I was trapped for many days before I escaped. This kind of thing is not particularly rare, and there is no such thing in the college.
Suspect.
But I didn't talk about my current predicament, I think you will understand. There are only two thirteenth rings in St. Byrons now. Unless it is certain that I have no possibility of recovery, I'd better not let more people know about my current state.
"
"I understand, but didn't you even inform the principal?"
Shade asked.
"Informed, or he has seen through the effect of the age-increasing agent. When Professor Pigman and I were both thirteen rings, I was confident that he could not see through my red moon illusion, but now I only have seven rings."
The librarian lady sighed softly:
"But I convinced him to give me a month's leave so that I could stay in Ximu Town to solve this problem. Oh, sorry, I mean Vista City. I stayed in Ximu Town more than a hundred years ago
I have been here for more than a month and have become accustomed to the name Ximu Town."
Shade took a sip of black tea, somewhat confused about their arrangement:
"Aren't you going to return to the academy? There are obviously more materials in the academy library than here. There may be records about the [Time Curse]."
Miss Denister shook her head:
"I have only been a librarian for a year or two. I know very well whether the library has any information in this field.
As for staying here, this is not a sudden thought. The solution to the problem lies in Ximu Town. Although I did not find information about the astrologer Euclid a hundred years ago, among the magicians of Ximu Town at that time,
There are rumors about 'time travellers', 'time tree caves' and 'going back to the past'."
"The local ring wizards of this era didn't know this, at least the black marketeers didn't mention it."
The red-haired girl sighed and decided to start from the beginning:
"I arrived locally last week and checked into this room because I made a reservation in advance. At noon on Tuesday this week, I came back after exchanging information with a ring warlock who knew the local Moon God ruins in the black market. I was in the room preparing for a lunch break when I heard
Strange noises next door.”
Shade followed the direction of her finger and looked at the wall:
"Is that broom closet on the other side of the wall?"
"Yes."
The sorceress nodded helplessly:
"Okay, I admit that I was probably too confident at the time, so I broke into the broom room to see what was going on. But everything was normal inside. When I opened the only cabinet that might have something hidden, I didn't find anything.
Now that I think about it, the action of opening the cupboard was probably the source of what happened next.
In short, when the lower door of the cupboard was opened, a strange light appeared behind me. When I looked back, I found that behind me was the study room of a strange mansion. Then I turned back to look at the cupboard. The brand new cupboard was placed in the study room.
By the wall, but the cabinet door on the lower floor was tightly closed. I tried for a long time but couldn't get back through that cabinet."
After speaking, she looked at Shade curiously. Shade knew what she wanted to ask:
"I also went to 1763 through that cabinet. The two humanoid angel-level relics helped me open a relatively stable two-way channel. Don't ask about the cost, I said, this is my own volition and it is my own business.
.”
Seeing that the red-haired girl wanted to say something else, Shade quickly asked:
"So in 1763, the cupboard wasn't in the hotel, was it? At that time, the Accordion Hotel was just in the forest, so who owned the manor at that time?"
Miss Denister actually wanted to ask what Shade had paid for:
"The cabinet at that time belonged to Baron Bennet of Ximu Town, and that house was the ancestral home of the Bennet family."
"Bennet, the owner of the Accordion Hotel, doesn't he also have this last name?"
Because this was the last name of the "debt collector" mentioned by Desire, Xia De remembered it very clearly.
Miss Denister nodded:
"Yes, before you came, I asked the waiter who served breakfast for information. The innkeeper in 1854, Thomas Bennett, was a descendant of the baron. However, although Bennet is still one of the best in the city
Rich man, but no longer has a title.
More than forty years ago, when the kingdom's musicians came to Ximu Town due to the political movement in the royal capital, the then Baron Bennet was punished by the royal family and lost his title for helping them.
But it’s not all bad. The first owner of the inn, Thomas Bennet’s grandfather, won the favor of the entire Carsonrick music community. Although the lost knighthood was not regained, look at this hotel now
The size and location of the hotel indicate that their lives have not become worse."
But in any case, the debt collection mission of Desire and the time travel both involve "Bennet", which does not seem to be a pure coincidence:
"After traveling to 1763, you have been in that study, right?"
Miss Denister nodded:
"Most of the time, yes. You also saw that it happened to be the middle of winter, and Ximu Town was blocked by heavy snow. The baron's family went to Willondale to spend the winter. There were only a few servants in the house who were responsible for maintaining the house, living in the study.
very convenient."
After the sorceress finished speaking, she smiled at Shade again:
"I know I can never stay away from that cabinet except when necessary, because I know you will find me soon."
Not sure if it was an illusion, Shade felt that the owl on the birdstand in front of the window rolled its eyes after hearing these words. From this, he determined that the little Mia at home was definitely not a person who turned into a cat, because that cat
Never has there been such a human expression.
Although Miss "Owl" is an excellent artist, her acting skills are obviously far inferior to Vanessa's.
Miss Danister was missing for four days in 1854, and she spent 37 days in 1763. During this time, in addition to her study, she was also in the snow-covered town of Brookwood and shrouded in white snow.
She has conducted a lot of exploration in the Vista Woodland. Even if she only has seven rings, she is one of the best ring warlocks in a remote town.
Of course, Shade guessed that when Miss Daniste went out, the owl would stay as a "housekeeper", and the two would alternate between them to ensure that there was always someone in the study.
They didn't know what happened to the cabinet at the time, so they didn't try to move the cabinet and take it out with them. As for the investigation in Ximu Town, in addition to hearing about the "time traveler" mentioned by the townspeople and the local
Apart from folklore, I didn’t find out much else.
"A hundred years ago, Ximu Town was just a small place. There were not many ring magicians here. Even the Church of the Five Gods only had one Church of Nature here."
"So have you tried to get in touch with the academy from that era?"
The eighteen-year-old sorceress nodded:
"I tried, but unfortunately I couldn't contact the outside world by any means. Not only that, I tried leaving this area to seek help from the outside world. There are industries affiliated with the college in Willondale City, but I gave up later.
"
"Is there a barrier to the outside world in the woodland, or are we worried about a time paradox?"
The red-haired girl pursed her lips and looked at him with a hint of fear in her rose-red eyes:
"I had a gut feeling at the time that my range of activities was limited to the Vista Grove. Once I left this area in the winter of 1763, I would never be able to return to where I was in 1854, no matter what methods I used.
