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 earned Sha De’s money, but before Sha De left, he also informed Sha De about the results of Sha De’s commissioned investigation of “time anomalies”:

"There are 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 we investigate longer-term accidents, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and false of some specious rumors.

There are time anomaly stories and There are so many places where there are rumors. "

Old John gave Shade a bulging document bag and asked Shade 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 "Day of the Red Butterfly" was about to end, they casually ate a few bites with Shade and then left separately. They made an agreement with Shade that the next Day of the Red Butterfly would never be postponed:

"Every time you put off Red Butterfly Day, it's 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 in the afternoon. Instead, he thought about going to the Prophet Association tomorrow to see the upcoming series of [Old Continent Northern Seedlings]. card.

However, the weather suddenly became clear in the evening of that day. 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 at night, and all the street lights in Saint Teresa Square were already on.

"It's such 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 called upstairs.

Shade looked up the stairs, and when he quickly arrived at the study room on the second floor, he saw the pages of poetry manuscripts 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 Denister is the real manager of the School of Library Management, at the level of dean. Be 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.

After everything was ready, and 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 were closed, so Shade couldn’t see outside:

"Good evening, Professor Norton."

He saw the furnishings of the office clearly, said hello to the professor he was most familiar with first, and then found that two professors he had never met were also here. According to college regulations, professors cannot meet alone with correspondence magicians. The principal and the librarian are exempt.

Professor Norton was a bearded old man, but he did not exchange greetings with Shade:

"Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry to bother you at this late hour. Answer this question: When was the last time you saw Miss Denister?"

Shade on the chair frowned slightly:

"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 Denister and I spoke a few words alone before leaving. I asked about the meditation process. In addition to the basic three-color moon, what impact will the dark moon and lunar eclipse have?

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. Professors do not need to report to the college every day when they are on leave. Regarding the itinerary, there was a document that she had to sign yesterday, 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 sent people to the local area. Mr. Hamilton, you don't have to worry."

Shade 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 Mount Karas a hundred years ago. That astrologer was active in the Ximu Town area.

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 the 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 the members who go to investigate If no clues are found, the principal, Professor Pigman, will personally go to the Ximu Town area.

It is not yet known what happened to Miss Denister, so the college did not notify the church. Don't worry too much, maybe Professor Danist will contact us tomorrow morning. "

"I see."

Of course, Xia De would not really feel relieved:

"If there is any news about Miss Denister, 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 need to leave immediately. Come to the college and temporarily take over the position of librarian."

"Huh? Is it necessary to be so anxious?"

Shade 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 a correspondence student, so I'm not even a high school student."

Professor Norton shook his head cautiously:

"Although I am the dean, there are many things that I am not clear about. I can only say that if St. Byrons wants to run normally, the two positions of [principal] and [librarian] must be supported by people. This seems to be inconsistent with this. It has to do with the underlying rules of the ancient academy.

Professor Danister has chosen you as his successor, which the college has recognized, 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 is just in some trouble and will be back soon. The principal, Professor Pigman, is just worried about the worst-case scenario. He is the principal of the entire school. , there are many things to consider.”

Shade did not consider the possibility of suddenly becoming a librarian:

"Yes, then I will wait for 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 painting on the wall:

"Of course I won't sit down and wait for news. It would be fine if I was still a low-level person. Now that I am an eighth-level person, there are many things that I don't need to hesitate about. I will go to Ximu Town in person, and Miss Danister will definitely not be able to do so. Something happened."

【Are you leaving now? 】

"She" continued to ask softly, and 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 smaller than that of Yuewan. The city is so big, but the entire Vista Grove area is quite large.

Now try to set up road signs, go to Ximu Town and take a look 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. "

Shade 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, in order to prepare for possible dangers, I brought the appropriate relics. After some hesitation, I took it. After getting up [Night Watch], he turned around and touched the statue of the ancient god:

"May the original crack protect me in the infinite space
