She was not injured. After standing firm under the tree, she saw Shad withdrawing the Night Seal and hooking her hand. Daniste Gustave casually picked up the falling green leaves and threw them at Shad:
"Thumbs-Scarlet Moon Pulse!"
The leaf was dyed red the moment it separated from the fingertips, and then the bright red veins separated from the decaying leaves, and in the next second turned into a huge spider-web-like red monster that could cover the entire open space.
Dozens of leaf veins shot towards Shade like tentacles, but Shade just waved his hand behind him:
"Fireball!"
Dozens of orange-red fireballs instantly raised the temperature around the clearing. The fireballs that appeared out of thin air bombarded the giant web of leaf veins. The sorceress behind the monster was about to continue casting spells, but she felt a hand pressing on her shoulder from behind.
:
"Miss Denister, for the sake of your health, please don't over-cast like this."
"I haven't lost yet!"
She turned around to look at her student behind her, and the moment her eyes met—
Click!
Shade held the pocket watch in his hand, and the sorceress in front of him had frozen in time.
The monster transformed from the uncontrolled leaf veins was quickly burned to ashes by the flames with the power of the first fire, while Shade looked at the frozen and vivid expression of the girl in front of him with his hands behind his back, and then pressed his hand on her forehead:
"Louvia's time curse prevents her from being affected by any time force, whether it is good or malicious. But Miss Daniste and Miss Winslet are actually more susceptible to forces such as time suspension.
Does the curse weaken time resistance?"
He sighed, and then snapped his fingers after making sure the flames were extinguished. Then the girl's eyes with frozen eyes turned again. She was confused and dazed for a moment, not understanding why Shade suddenly appeared in front of her from behind, and
Why did his thaumaturgy fail? Then he shook his head dejectedly:
"I should have thought of it earlier. You have mastered the magic of time and space. Even I am no match for you."
"You only have seven levels now, and you can't cast spells with all your strength in order to cultivate your soul. It's normal that you can't beat me. I can't be regarded as a normal eight levels."
Shade comforted him, and the latter looked up at him, and after a long while he whispered:
"Sorry, Shade, I was too excited just now."
"I think this is also related to your current state, but since I won, you have to listen to me before we return to the city today."
He emphasized, and the red-haired girl nodded slightly:
"Okay, I'll listen to you, but"
"I will help you search for clues about your teacher. I will just stop you at the appropriate time and prevent you from doing impulsive things."
"Shadow, you are so kind."
To outsiders, this seems strange.
Because of the "strong spatial perception", it is not troublesome to follow the map to find the abandoned logging camp. The path leading to the logging camp has long been abandoned. When Shade and Miss Danister pushed through the grass, they saw the grass.
When we walked into the overgrown lumberyard yard, it was already three o'clock that afternoon.
The sorceress quickly walked past Shade and came to the yard. With her fingers shaking, several red moon blades flew out and accurately cut off the poisonous snakes lurking in the grass.
She looked around, at the wooden houses and wooden sheds originally used to store wood, and finally looked at Shade:
"The hermits didn't seem to say which room the lady from three years ago lived in."
"Let's look around. We can't spend the night in the woods, otherwise the guy in the hotel will be worried. We'll leave before six o'clock, there are still three hours left."
"OK."
Long enough time has passed for the woodland to erase the traces of human activities here. Small trees have grown in the courtyard surrounded by houses and wood-drying sheds, and the cracks in the wooden floor of the house where the lumberjacks rest have also been explored.
There are vigorous weeds and flowers.
The lumberyard was not large, so it was not troublesome to check. Shade followed Miss Danister and opened one door after another in a clockwise direction, and when they opened the fourth door
At that moment, both of them frowned when facing the empty scene in the room.
After all, even if the flowers and plants in those wooden houses were sparse and the roofs were intact, there was no lack of feces or food residues left by the wild animals that invaded through the windows, and the house in front of them was really too clean.
"It should be here. I know that the teacher has a magic spell called 'Clean Residence'. This magic spell can keep a certain area clean, inhibit the growth of weeds and wild flowers, and drive away ordinary animals. It is a must-have spell for maintaining the library.
If the teacher casts the spell, it is normal for the effect to last for three years, and she is also thirteen rings."
She couldn't wait to walk in for inspection, while Shade stood at the door and looked around:
"But if your teacher has really been here, she should also have a time curse on her. Have you noticed anything unusual about her?"
The red-haired girl shook her head:
"No, I don't have as keen a sense of the time curse as you. Before this incident, I didn't even know whether the time curse really existed."
She stretched out her hand to cast a spell and began to inspect the wall, while Shade turned around and looked at the grassy courtyard. The stable in the past had completely collapsed, but the stone mill in the corner of the stable had propped up a corner of the rotten wooden pillar.
There was originally a fence next to the stable to prevent animals from breaking in, but just now Shade saw that the wooden fence had long been broken and was lying in the grass.
Continuing to move his eyes clockwise, what appeared in his field of vision was a well, but because the lumberjacks had left, the well was covered by a thick stone slab. The thick shadow of the trees covered the bluestone slab, and Shade looked at the mouth of the well.
At the same time, the female ghost with half her head exposed from under the stone slab was also looking at him, and after looking at Shade, she hurriedly let her spirit body submerge under the stone slab again.
"The hermits said this place was abandoned because it was haunted, right?"
Shade asked, and the young girl in the wooden house behind him replied:
"Yes, and the hermits said that they have solved the evil spirits here. Moreover, even if they have not been solved, if the teacher really lived here, the evil spirits and other things will be easily solved by her, right? Why do you ask this question?"
"Because I saw a ghost."
Two chains rattled out of the sleeves at the same time like long snakes, drilling through the stone slab at the wellhead with a sonic boom. When Miss Danister walked to the door in confusion, Shade had already mastered the "living rope trick"
"Manipulate one of the chains to pull up the ghost who fled to the bottom of the well.
The ghost looked like a woman in her twenties. She grabbed the weeds at the edge of the well with both hands in fear, but was still pulled to the front of the wooden house by the chain wrapped around her right leg.
Her spirit body was dissipating rapidly in the sunlight, so Shade shook it hard and threw her soul directly into the house.
"Ah, what are you going to do?"
The chain was loosened, and the soul immediately wanted to escape through the wall, but Miss Daniste stretched out her hand, and complex red runes immediately covered the surface of the spirit body.
So she who was originally able to pass through the wall slammed into the wooden wall, then squatted down holding her head.
"It's not an evil spirit, it's just because I still have obsessions that I didn't leave."
The sorceress said that although her power was lost, her experience remained:
"This is not the evil spirit from ten years ago. Judging from her appearance, she has been dead for at least two years. She should have appeared here after the lady left three years ago."
The ghost of the young girl covering her forehead stood up against the wall and looked at the two people in front of her tremblingly. Her soul could hardly be seen to be alienated, so it was indeed not an evil spirit.
"Found it. Another chain found a white bone in the mud at the bottom of the well."
Shade said again, and then the soul said in horror:
"No, no! Please don't touch my body."
Shade and Miss Danister looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was the same - "You do it or I do it." But because Shade is a student, it was Shade who played the villain in the end:
"We are not bad people, what do you call us?"
The chain that pulled her in kept shaking under her feet, so her trembling soul answered:
"Ashley Bettany."
"Hello, Miss Bettany."
He smiled, and then found that the smile that could quickly win people's favor in the past didn't seem to work this time:
"Why are you here?"
"Don't touch my body because it's here, okay? I don't want to leave yet, I like this place."
She said pitifully that her hair color could not be seen in a pure white soul, she should have been very beautiful when she was alive.
"Then let me change the question, how long have you been here?"
Shade asked again, and the soul shook his head;
"I don't know, I'm not always awake, and sometimes my memory is hazy."
This shows that the obsession is not very deep. Even if you leave her alone, she will dissipate within a few years.
"We are looking for you to find out something."
As he spoke, he glanced at Miss Daniste, who then eliminated the red moon runes on her soul. The latter then got out of the wooden wall behind her. Shade stood still, and a few seconds later the cautious man
The soul came back, but only half of the face was exposed in the wooden house:
"Okay, then ask, what do you want to know?"
She actually didn't need to be so cautious. Shade's second chain was still next to her bones at the bottom of the well, and she couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
"Miss Bettany, have you been working in this lumber camp?"
"Occasionally I go for a walk in the woods, but I can't go very far."
"So is there anything unusual in this lumberyard? I mean anything unusual other than you."
Shade pointed outside. The ghost Ashley Bettany pursed her lips and said nothing.
Shade is really familiar with this situation, so the foreigner who is very familiar with the process was about to speak, but Miss Danister on the side said unceremoniously:
"You must not say that you are willing to tell us the situation here only if we do something for you.
Listen, the nice-looking gentleman next to me might have the kindness to help you, but I don’t have the patience. Answer the question now, you don’t want to know what I will do!”
