Chapter 2581 Failed Visit and Cemetery in the Forest

Although it was a card of luck, since the special rules had been activated, Shade put down the hidden card that was about to be turned over, and drew the third card with Miss Bell.

Both chose to stop playing, and then showed their respective cards together.

"Star 5, Moon 11, Moon 4, 20 points."

Miss Bell said, and then saw that there were two special cards in the three cards in Shade's hand:

"Ordinary cards Star 9, Sun 3 [Origin·Silver Moon], Flower 8 [Old Continent Eastern Scenery·Tis Lake]. Because you opened the card first, the special effect of the third card is invalid. The total points are 9+3+8=20 points. Adjust Sun 3 to Sun 4, so the total points are 21 points."

He kissed the [Origin·Silver Moon] in his hand, and then handed the card to Miss Bell to watch:

"The game is over, I won."

"Yes, I am very happy to play this card game with you."

The young witch apprentice was extremely excited holding the cards in both hands, and she didn't feel like she had lost the game at all. So Shade waved his hand, and the remaining five cards in the deck, Balance, Darkness, Death, Earth, and Light, all flew out by themselves and floated towards her.

At that moment, Shade felt that the girl across the table was really about to faint.

"Why do I feel that Shade is enough to cheat your apprentice with these eight cards?"

The red-haired girl acting as the referee said softly, and the witch with gray-black hair rolled her eyes at her:

"Do you know how much wealth those eight cards add up to?"

She understood the feelings of her apprentice very well, and they all had their own passionate hobbies.

"No matter how valuable it is, it will not be as valuable as Shade's other property."

The red-haired sorceress said while holding a teacup, thinking of Shade's shares in the academy. Seeing her friend looking at her in surprise, she smiled and asked:

"Why, do you think Shade is really eating the soft rice of Carina Cavendish? He is much richer than the Duchess."

"No, I always thought you were giving pocket money to your students."

"Miss Winslet!"

Shade, who was admiring the [Legendary Race·Elf], said hurriedly. The witch covered her mouth and smiled, feeling that such a life was really interesting:

"Now I owe you six paintings. Why don't we wait and see if we can get 12 paintings in a group before the matter of Vestal Forest is over? I am looking forward to having you as my model."

Shade had no plan to stay for dinner that night. Now he not only had dinner but also played Rhodes. Therefore, when he returned home after throwing the crystal slipper, it was already 7:30 in the evening.

Originally, I was worried that the cat who didn't eat at night would be hungry, and then I was worried that the smart cat who opened the cat food bag without permission would be full. Fortunately, when I came down from upstairs, I saw the lights on the second floor, and then I saw Luvia and Dorothy were here.

The cat heard the footsteps and jumped up the stairs to greet Shad. The purple-eyed girl and the writer lady also stood up and gave him a hug when Shad entered the door:

"You came back so late. Is the matter in Vestal Forest so troublesome? Do you need me or Leicia to help? Call Grace and Helen to open a passage over there. I will touch the tree hole statue you mentioned and the passage will be established."

Dorothy asked, and Shad shook his head, embarrassed to say that he was playing cards tonight:

"I just found some strange things, things related to ethics. Do you want to listen? Although I don’t understand it either."

"Of course."

Luvia’s right index finger crossed Shad’s chest, and her purple eyes were smiling:

"Why else are we here tonight?"

Because it was very late to arrive at the Accordion Hotel on Monday morning, Shad made up his mind to get up early on Tuesday to leave a good impression on Miss Danister, who praised him for his "diligent study" last night.

Therefore, when Shad got up on time at 6:30 in the morning, he also woke up Dorothy and Luvia who were sleeping beside him. Compared with Shad who usually got up at 6:30, Luvia who went to work at 9 o'clock and Dorothy who was a "freelancer" did not like to get up so early. In addition, they played until late last night, so they went to the bathroom to wash up until Shad made breakfast.

And when they had breakfast at 8 o'clock in the morning, Shad even came back from Midhill Castle:

"Sister Defulin is not at the mountaintop sacrifice site, but I left a letter for her, she should agree to lend me her eye mask."

"Shad, Sister Defulin is a very respectable person, don't bully her like this."

Dorothy persuaded, Shad asked doubtfully:

"I just borrowed the eye mask, why do you think I am bullying her and I can't beat Sister Defulin at all."

After saying goodbye to Luvia and Dorothy at home, Shad finally set off for Vestal Forest. But he went out with Mia that day, because Luvia had to attend the study report meeting of the Prophet Association today, and Dorothy had to go home to visit her mother, so they had no time to help take care of the cat.

This was also the first time that Shad took Mia to the Vesta Forest, so after crawling out of the tree hole in the ruins, he looked at the direction of the city from a distance, and then planned to take the cat to visit the elf lady in the forest.

"But there must be a reason for visiting. I haven't found those antique arrows yet, so I brought her some snacks. I said it was specially to thank her for helping at the old Bennett house."

Shade was actually curious about how Mia felt about the elf girl.

But unfortunately, the elf was not in the flower field, nor in her beautiful tree house. Shade put down the snacks and decided to wait. Maybe the elf lady was just collecting dew in the early morning and would be back soon.

But he waited for twenty minutes without seeing the elf. When the cat finally couldn't help but taste the smell of the purple morning glory hanging on the wooden door, Shade finally gave up:

"Please help smell if there is a familiar smell here."

But before leaving, Shade put the cat down on the wooden platform in front of the tree house, hoping that the cat could help. The cat, who was reluctant to walk by himself, sniffed around and actually ran to the door of the tree house.

It ran up neatly and jumped up to the chair outside the window, and then jumped onto the table outside the window. Then it stood next to the snacks Shade put down, turned around and squatted there, looking at Shade pitifully, so Shade knew that the cat could not help.

Five minutes after Shad left with Mia, Shad, who had manipulated the illusion to leave, walked out from under the tree again, looked up at the tree house, and left only after confirming that there was really no one. He got up early in the morning and didn't want to arrive at the hotel so late again.

And ten minutes after Shad left, the elf girl carefully carried the toothbrush and the tooth mug and jumped down from the crown of the tree where the tree house was located.

"Shad, really is that bad."

She looked at the direction where Shad left with some dissatisfaction, and then smiled and stretched out her hand to the dessert that Shad brought.

In short, because of such a big circle, when Shad finally arrived at the Accordion Hotel, it was already 9:13 in the morning of that day.

When he knocked on the door and entered Miss Danister's room with Mia, the red-haired sorceress who had seen this cat many times was not surprised, but the round-faced owl standing on the back of the sofa and explaining things to his apprentice was immediately attracted:

"Good morning, oh, what a beautiful cat~"

The chubby round-faced owl flapped its wings and flew towards him, so Mia standing on Shad's shoulder suddenly looked sharp.

But before the cat pounced, the owl turned into a gray-black haired witch in the air and sat on the sofa:

"This is your pet cat, I haven't seen such a cute cat!"

"Yes, I always think that Mia must be the cutest cat in the world."

Sand was quite confident when talking about this topic. Of course, he didn't come here today to talk about cat-raising experience with Miss Winslet. He then asked Miss Winslet to help take care of Mia today, and the witch gladly accepted: "Come to think of it, you said that your Transfiguration - Cat was not learned on purpose, so it was not because of raising cats that you learned it?" She asked jokingly, and Shade refused to answer this question. Mia was certainly not very happy to be separated from Shade in a strange place, but in the end she squatted on the back of the sofa pitifully, watching Shade and the red-haired girl leave here. The destination of the two was the cemetery of the Bennet family, and the location of the cemetery had been found out by the two ladies. Although Shade once said that he would visit the public cemetery every time he went to a city, at least in the "City of Music", he did not plan to go to the public cemetery for the time being. Thanks to the dense woodlands around the city, and the fact that "Bennet" was once a traditional noble in Ximu Town, Bennet not only had an ancestral home but also a small family cemetery. But that cemetery was not near the old Bennet house, but deep in the woods. That was the land that the Bennet family once controlled. Although the land was now taken away along with the noble title, at least the cemetery still belonged to them.

A winding forest path led to the cemetery from the northern edge of the city. Since only a few people such as woodcutters and hunters would pass by on weekdays, the path in the forest looked half-abandoned.

Shade and Miss Danister did not waste too much time. At 11 o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the small cemetery surrounded by iron fences. According to their investigation, this cemetery was established three hundred years ago by the first generation of "Baron Bennet".

However, the number of members of the Bennet family has always been small, and according to custom, all family members are buried in the underground cemetery, so the cemetery looks shabby and small. As time goes by, although the fate of the family has changed, this place has not changed.
