Shade then asked. At this time, the two of them had passed through the bookshelves and arrived at the entrance hall of the library.
The tile floor presents a translucent shape, with a flowing galaxy below. The St. Byrons school emblem hangs on the counter at the entrance borrowing area, but there is no administrator assistant on duty behind it. There are students reading quietly next to the large high-rise bookshelf further back.
The red-haired girl stopped, and a confused look appeared on her face again:
"Mountain Karas?"
"Yes, don't you know the name of this place? No, Daniste, you must know this place. After all, we have agreed to go there together one day."
Shade stared into her rose-red eyes, and the young sorceress had a dazed look on her face, which was very similar to when Shade woke up from the table just now.
"Yes, Karas Mountain, how could I not know that the teacher has gone?"
But she shook her head violently, took Shade's hand again and said:
"Let's not talk about the teacher's affairs. Let's go see the unicorns. They are obviously a species in the college, but they have not allowed us to see them casually. Let's go, let's talk about other things later. I must see the unicorns today.
Horned Beast, if any of them would give me a ride, I would be happy for a whole year."
As he spoke, he pulled Xia De hard, but found that Xia De didn't move at all.
He continued to ask:
"Danister, I've never asked you how old you were in 1821."
"What a strange question, of course I am"
She closed her mouth suddenly and looked at Shade with her lips pursed. The dazed expression appeared on her face again. Shade did not urge him, but waited for a few seconds, and then saw the lost look of the red-haired girl.
Opened his hand:
"It turned out to be an illusion. I thought I really went back to the age when I was still in school, Shade. You are so bad. If I hadn't woken up from this problem, you would have known my age."
Shade pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word, and the sorceress did not blame him. Thinking of the conversation between the two just now, eighteen-year-old Denise Gustave felt her face flush.
Fortunately, Xia De didn't mention what happened just now without the sense of humor.
So the sorceress turned around and looked around in order to avoid Shade's eyes:
"The library in St. Byrons, the library where I was a student.
Shade, you know, there have been many times when I thought that I would suddenly wake up one day. My friend at the desk laughed and said that I fell asleep in class, and then asked me if I had finished the paper due next week. And
When I look out the window, I see sunny St. Byrones and a reflection of my carefree younger self."
"Everyone will miss the carefree life when they were in school. Although you can't go back, at least you are at the right age now."
Shade put his hand on her forehead:
"The time curse is showing signs of deepening, but you can't see any change from the outside. What is going on? What happened?"
The sorceress finally looked around with some nostalgia:
"Let's get out of here first and then talk."
"Do you have a way to break this illusion?"
"Yes, I am very familiar with this relic. It is one of the few angel-level relics that the teacher often carries with him when he goes out [Shadow Dream].
This is a rare conceptual relic. Its origin is a dream that an unknown person had while resting under the shade of a tree. Later, this concept was fixed as a relic, resulting in extremely rare cases where people resting under the tree
People will fall into this illusion. This illusion is specifically generated for the most nostalgic and sentimental emotions in people's hearts, but that is also the thing they long for most."
Her face turned slightly red, and she ended hastily without continuing the introduction:
"[A dream in the shade of a tree, a dream for a hundred years], if you can't break free, your soul will linger in this dream forever."
She then moved her hands in the air, as if touching something invisible:
"The ancestors of St. Byrons spent four generations thousands of years ago to materialize and contain this conceptual relic. The current materialized appearance is a beige women's sun hat.
I won’t go into details about its specific characteristics. It can not only lay out large-scale illusions in a certain area as a means of defense, but also actively launch illusions against an individual. Although it is not an offensive relic, it is not outstanding among angels, but
This is also a genuine angel-level relic.
What we are in is the former. Fortunately, the relics are still under containment, so no matter what kind of illusion it is, there is a way to forcibly release it. This is the back door left by the academy."
She gently pressed her eyebrows with her fingers:
"Forcible lifting requires meeting three conditions: completing the entrance ceremony of the relic [St. Byron's Dream], being fully awake in the illusion, and falling from a high place."
After saying that, he took Shade's hand and walked with him through the library door and left the building, arriving at the square in front of the library at night under the vast starry sky.
Snow fell in the deep night sky. Shade looked up at the three full moons, and then his body turned into a ball of silver light.
The light grew bigger and bigger, so that Miss Danister, who was holding hands with Shade, was getting higher and higher. Until the "Moonlight Dragon" appeared in the huge silver light group, and the young sorceress stood on the dragon's head.
As the dragon flapped its wings, it flew higher and higher.
She looked nostalgically at the scene of St. Byrons in the snowy night below, but she could no longer recall which night she spent when she was a student.
It wasn't until the dragon disappeared and Shade held her hand and fell downwards with her that Daniste Gustave suddenly remembered that this was probably every time she spent here when she was a student.
A calm and ordinary night.
Bang!
The surrounding colors continued to change during the fall, and after a muffled sound, Shade, who was still falling a second ago, opened his eyes. The dazzling summer sun immediately made him squint again.
In my ears I can hear the chirping of insects and birds in the forest and the sound of wind blowing through the treetops. Of course, the annoying chirping of cicadas brings more stereotypes about summer.
Shade and the red-haired girl were holding hands at this time, sitting on the ground in the forest leaning against the big tree behind them. But this was not Ximu Town nor the abandoned lumberyard where the "Second Tree Hole" was located.
When Shade turned his head, he immediately saw the "tree hole".
This time the "tree hole" is a real tree hole. The big tree behind it looked particularly tall and tall in the summer afternoon of 1821. The tree hole that could only fit a head looked ordinary. The green crown of the tree
It casts mottled shadows, making Shade and Miss Danister look colorful.
"In 1821, this tree had not yet been made into the lumberyard door."
Shade sighed softly, then looked at Miss Danister, who shook her head slightly:
"I'm fine. Since I'm already here, can you let me stay here for a while?"
[This time travel is regarded as a normal time travel using the "Twisted Tree Hole". There are only two and a half minutes left in the twenty-minute time.】
"She" in his ear reminded softly, that is to say, even if Shade was accidentally involved, as long as he wanted to leave normally, it would still be regarded as consuming a normal use opportunity of the wooden door.
"There are still two and a half minutes left. Let's go. We can't stay here any longer. The curse on you will continue to worsen. Oh, speaking of you and the owl, are you trying to persuade the lady to do something without telling me?"
Shade asked. Seeing that the red-haired girl was still looking around stubbornly, he patted her on the shoulder:
"Let's go, Miss Daniste."
The latter also knew that she did not have time to look for a teacher in this era, so she said "Hmm~" and then turned to look at the tree hole in the big tree. Therefore, she did not see Shade's left hand patting her.
On his shoulder, his right hand went into his pocket and clasped the pocket watch:
"Time pauses for Adele!"
Click!
The sound of a pointer turning was heard in the void, and then Miss Danister, whose time resistance was almost negative, froze in front of the tree.
"I am sorry."
Shade apologized softly to her back, then turned to face the summer woodland under the sun:
"Can you come out? My time pause won't last long."
"Actually, I've always been here, you just didn't realize it."
The slightly mature strange woman's voice appeared, and Shade suddenly looked to the right.
About ten meters away, a woman wearing a long black skirt was leaning against another tree with her back to him, so Shade could only see her right shoulder and beige sunhat that were not covered by the tree trunk.
edge.
And before the other party spoke, he really didn't realize that there was another person standing here. The other party was the genuine Thirteen Rings.
"I'm curious, young man, how did you discover me?"
The woman asked while looking up at the sun among the treetops. Shade was embarrassed to say that he just wanted to try his luck. Even if there was no one here, it would not be troublesome to lift the time pause.
"My senses are very strong. Good afternoon, madam, please allow me to say hello to you on behalf of Miss Danister."
He knew who this was, and the strange lady in black skirt sighed and continued to ask in Delarian:
"Young man, what is your relationship with Denise?"
"I am her student."
"I don't remember little Danist having a student when she was eighteen."
"She was cursed by time to become eighteen years old now. In fact, she is now. Well, I don't know how old Miss Denist is. Every time I ask her, she will avoid the topic and get angry.
"
Because he couldn't see the other person's front face, Shade didn't know whether the lady with her back to him was smiling in the sun.
"It turned out to be a time curse. Now it makes sense. Danist has grown up and has her own apprentice.
I was actually curious just now, did Daniste choose you as her apprentice because you were handsome, but now seeing your skillful time pause, I know that she is still the serious and responsible girl in my impression.
Let me see your moonlight?”
"certainly."
Shade stretched out his right hand, and a silver ball of light appeared in the palm of his hand, and flew in the direction of the woman with a gentle push.
