Different from the previous relics or potions that only have short-term effects, this time [Lucky Soy Milk] can provide good luck for 20 minutes. However, 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 more distant incidents, it will be difficult to distinguish between the true and false of some specious rumors.
The Mazzaro Snow Mountain in the Kingdom of the Islands, the town of Ximu in the northeast of Willendale City, the uninhabited land of the Fermi Plateau in the southwest of Delarian, and the nameless village in the hinterland of the Rommel Mountains in the central and eastern part of the Old World. There are stories of time anomalies and
There are so many places where there are rumors.”
Old John gave Shad a bulging document bag and asked Shad to go back and read it by himself.
When he returned home with these things, Dorothy and Lesia were still sleeping, and they didn't wake up until lunch time. Because "Red Butterfly Day" was about to end, they casually stayed with Summer.
De took a few bites and then left, and made an agreement with Shade that the next Red Butterfly Day would never be postponed:
"Every time we postpone the 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 carriages.
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.
By the time I got home again, it was drizzling again, and all the street lights in Saint Teresa Square had been lit up.
"What 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 coming 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 around 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. However, the curtains in the office were drawn, so Shade couldn't see
Outside:
"Good evening, Professor Norton."
He saw clearly the furnishings of the office, first said hello to the professor he was most familiar with, and then found that two professors he had never met were also here. According to the regulations of the college, professors cannot meet the principal alone with the correspondence magician.
and Miss Librarian have immunity.
Professor Norton was a bearded old man, but he did not exchange greetings with Shade:
"Mr. Hamilton, I'm sorry to bother you so late. 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 of the 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 were suspended this week, so although it’s Thursday now, I haven’t been to her class this week. What happened?”
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, and 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 has been 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 already 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 Karas Mountain 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 sends people to look for her, they may not be able to find her.
What's more, if there is really big trouble trapping this thirteen-ring lady, other people 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.
We still don’t know what happened to Miss Daniste, so the college has not notified the church. You don’t have to worry too much, maybe Professor Daniste will contact us tomorrow morning.”
"I see."
Of course, Shade 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 will always be 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 Daniste has not come back within three months, you need to leave immediately.
Come to the academy and temporarily take over the position of librarian."
"Huh? Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?"
Shade was more surprised by these words than Miss Denister's disappearance. After all, he felt from the beginning that all investigations related to "Callas Mountain" would definitely lead to big trouble:
"And I'm studying by correspondence, so I'm not even a senior high school student."
Professor Norton shook his head cautiously:
"Although I am the dean, there are still many things that I don't know about. I can only say that if St. Byrones 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 Danist has chosen you as his successor, which the college has recognized, so it doesn’t matter whether you are a correspondence student or a current student. It’s just that in this way, the connection between the college and the Godcaller will be limited.”
He stopped the topic in time:
"Of course, this is just the worst case scenario. We all believe that Professor Denister just encountered some trouble and will be back soon. The principal, Professor Pigman, is only worried about the worst case scenario. He is the principal of the entire school.
, there are a lot of things to consider.”
Shade did not consider the possibility of suddenly becoming a librarian:
"Yes, then I will wait for the 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 not small.
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. He happened to have just returned home just now. He didn't even need to change his clothes. After saying goodbye to little Mia, he was ready to set off.
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 the [Night Watch], he turned around and touched the statue of the ancient god:
"May the original cracks protect me in the infinite space
