Whispering Verse

Chapter 2816 Letter and Ring

Miss Denister joked:

"And if you invite me here so late, at least treat me with the best black tea."

"Well, not yet, but you can go back with the tea later. I'm afraid you might smash my teacup later."

Professor Pigman said very cautiously that the current principal of St. Byrons is an elegant middle-aged man. He looks like he is in his forties, does not wear glasses, and has black hair. And because he doesn't have a beard, he looks younger.

"What?"

The red-haired girl raised her eyebrows, and the principal behind the desk immediately smiled again:

"Don't be so anxious. When I was your "Aether Mechanics" teacher, I said that only by being calm can things go more smoothly."

The red-haired girl then reminded:

"But most of the students who have taken your "Aether Mechanics" course can't keep calm, right? What was the passing rate of our first-year students at the end of the semester? Oh, it seems that only two people passed except me.

I still don’t quite understand the ‘Hilbert Ether Space’ theory, but I have been studying the ‘System Compound Verification Ceremony of Time Perturbation by the Particleization of Spirits’ when I have nothing to do recently. "

So the book Shade often sees her reading recently is this:

"I remember that because the passing rate was too low, your "Ether Mechanics" was changed from a compulsory course to an elective course for the whole college. And after you no longer have the teaching responsibility, it seems that only two professors can teach this course so far. ”

"Ahem, let's not talk about this. In fact, I have always felt that there is no harm in exposing students to some cutting-edge theoretical knowledge. Although ring magician is a more practical major, theoretical work also needs to be done."

As he spoke, he bent down and took out a red lacquered wood box from the drawer in his office, and then pushed it from the table to the college librarian.

The pet white mouse lying on the table immediately wanted to get closer, but the principal, Professor Pigman, waved his hand, and a silver door appeared under the mouse, and it fell into the lower drawer:

"That's why I came to you tonight."

"What's this?"

She reached out to lift the lid, and then heard the principal across the table say:

"Many years ago, in this office, your teacher, Professor Helena Carter, the Moon Spellcaster, gave this to me and asked me."

Even though he was well prepared, he still tilted his head back slightly when facing the sorceress's slightly gloomy expression when she suddenly raised her head:

"You are much worse-tempered now than when you were in school. I know you are very angry. I know you have been looking for Professor Carter. I also know that there may be relevant secrets in this box, but this is because Professor Carter did not let me I told you.”

Seeing Miss Danister taking a deep breath to adjust her mood, he recalled:

"At that time, Professor Carter said to me, let me give this to you in the early morning of Thursday after you go to Vesta Grove and apply to the college to purchase the relic [Edgeless Blade]. A strange request, right? I I don’t understand it either, but since it’s Professor Carter’s request, I can’t refuse. Speaking of which, she disappeared not long after she put this with me.

I don't know if the contents of this box are related to the professor's departure and disappearance, and I have no intention of destroying the professor's arrangements, so I didn't take it out until today. "

The box has the moon's seal engraved on it, a seal that only Helena Carter and Deniste Gustave can break.

After opening the box, Miss Daniste first saw a folded note. The handwriting on the note was all too familiar to her, but there were only two short sentences on it:

[Xia De is fine and will return to your time soon. 】

[Give this to him. 】

After taking away the note, there was a silver ring in the box, and a thin and short silver chain was wrapped around the ring to store it. Seeing Miss Danister pick up the ring, the principal across the table said:

"Oh, isn't this [The Ring of Endings]? I've seen Professor Carter wear this ring several times, but she doesn't use it often, and she never lends it out. She is leaving this to you as a souvenir. By the way, does this ring have a suppressive effect on your curse?"

The red-haired girl continued to have a gloomy face, and she seemed to be in a worse mood than before:

"She didn't mention me at all in her letter, and she asked me to pass this ring on to someone else. She knew she was leaving without ever returning, but she didn't leave anything behind. I won't use this ring. It's not for me to leave. mine."

So the principal behind the desk shut his mouth, while Miss Denister silently put the ring and note back, and then asked:

"How are the preparations for the college's support team in Vista Grove?"

"The 'time proves' ritual is very effective. Most people have completed the ritual so far. However, the Yuexi clan will also send people this time, and they still have to prepare, so they will probably set off next Monday."

"Where's Miss Siam Nord?"

"She will leave the team one day in advance and deliver it directly to you. The college will contact you then. She wants to take the unicorn with her, so you must also think about where Miss Siam Nord will live in advance."

Miss Danister nodded, didn't ask for any tea, said goodbye, grabbed the box on the table and left.

The principal sitting behind his desk listened to her voice coming downstairs, took out his memo again, and crossed out the top line of letters.

Almost at the same time that Miss Danister set off to return to Vista City, in the deep place where the flames were extinguishing in the deep forest, a thunder suddenly sounded in the sky, and the girl who was limping in the forest looking for Shade was Dr. Bill Schneider was startled.

The thunder struck almost directly in front of him, just missing him. At the location where the thunder fell, a gap opened in the space almost immediately. Then Shade walked out of the white mist behind the gap carrying the [Night Watcher] and looked around cautiously.

The frightened doctor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately greeted him:

"Don't be so vigilant. The battle is over. You finally showed up. I was just thinking, if I tell Anat that I lost you when I return to Tobesk, will she curse me and let me Even worse luck than now.”

The forest fire has almost been extinguished, and the late autumn night wind is blowing through the forest. The moonlight illuminated the woodland, and there was indeed no danger here.

Shade looked at his finger to make sure that the ring was not brought back by him:

"Did that tree disappear on its own? And doctor, are you okay?"

This was already a day ago for him, and he originally thought that there would be a fierce battle after coming back.

The doctor shook his head:

"I couldn't move after being knocked away. I could barely move and rushed back immediately. At that time, you and the tree disappeared. What happened? That tree is what you said. Why do I feel that you always encounter this enemies, and they become more exaggerated each time.

Also, don't worry about me, I'm fine. "

But the doctor's situation was not as easy as he said. Shade was exiled from the current time by the tree, and the doctor was not just knocked away.

There were still scratches on his face that had not subsided, and he was limping when he met Shade just now. However, the doctor was not cursed by the power of the tree. It was just that the tree had the power to inhibit the natural recovery of living bodies. The doctor understood this deeply:

“It’s not limiting my natural ability to recover, it’s more like stopping the concept of ‘recovery’ in time.”

But he didn't care at all:

"This is not permanent. It will get better after a while. Detective, compared to me, the target of that tree is obviously you. I was just chased away like a fly. Maybe even the evil thing doesn't want to get involved. Me."

He even had the intention to joke at this time. Shade was speechless for a moment. He wanted to apologize for causing trouble to the doctor just now, but he didn't know what to say at this time.

"I was banished from the present time, but I found a way in the past so I came back."

Shade's return also meant that this "Devil Hunting" event was a complete success, so although he was injured, the doctor was still in a good mood at this time. His goal of many years has taken another big step forward, something he couldn't even imagine before meeting Shade last summer:

"It's good to be back. Before you go back, come here with me and have a look. When I was looking for you just now, I found a strange place nearby."

As he said this, he waved to Shade again, then took off directly into the air, and Shade turned into a group of butterflies and followed him.

The strange place the doctor mentioned was about two miles away from where the two met just now. The location was not hidden by any means. Theoretically, as long as someone can reach this location in the dense forest and beat the enemy, The demons wandering nearby have almost become natural phenomena in the forest, and anyone can see them here.

The doctor landed in the forest, and Shade also changed back to his human form and discovered that there was a forest path here. The path only extended to this location and stopped, and ahead was the destination of the two of them.

The doctor explained:

"You have to walk on this road to get to that place. If you are flying in the air, you can't reach it even if you know the location."

After walking forward for another twenty steps, the front suddenly became clearer.

The two of them released some light balls to illuminate the large clearing in the forest. When Shade looked around at the edge of the clearing, he immediately discovered that there was a giant tree facing the end of the path.

Shade has seen many big trees in the Vista Grove, but the "giant tree" mentioned here is really a "giant tree". In his impression, only the size of the big tree that he planted on the top of Sikal Mountain, symbolizing the seal of the "Kiss of the Tree" [edge of life and death], could be compared to this tree.
