When Shade told these things, he blurred all information related to time to avoid affecting the future. When Shade finished talking about these things during lunch, the black-haired lady said curiously:
"If you go by what you said, wouldn't it mean that Danist taught you nothing?"
"She taught me my magic arts - [Glory Moon Realm] and [Moon Dream]. She also inspired some rituals and the use of moonlight slash."
"But these ordinary teachers can teach too."
The sorceress smiled and held her chin with her hand. This action was quite familiar. Miss Daniste also did it:
"So what is she busy with? Since she wants you to be the next librarian, how can she let you grow up like this?"
"Well, actually, I'm quite busy, busy with the matters of the chosen ones."
Of course, Shad was not the only one telling stories that day. When Ms. Helena Carter shared stories with Shad, she did not need to consider disturbing time.
She told Shade some interesting things about Miss Danister - part of Shade felt that it was best not to mention it in the future, but followed Marissa to the noble manor in the afternoon and watched her preparing afternoon tea and snacks in the kitchen.
At that time, the black-haired sorceress talked about her own affairs again:
"I am different from you and Daniste. I am not a correspondence student who awakened my talent outside the academy and was discovered to join the academy. Nor am I a person whose family lived in St. Byrons a long time ago, so after awakening my talent
Direct-entry formal students.
Probably even Daniste doesn't know about my origins. When I was a child, I appeared at the gate of the college."
She recalled the past with a smile:
"The ancient defense mechanism of the college determines that without permission, even if someone comes to the college, they can only see the vast snowfield, but it happened that the place where I fainted when I was only six years old was the gate of the college."
"But isn't St. Byrons located in the north of the Great Northern Ice Cap? How did a six-year-old child like you get there? The temperature there all year round is below minus 20 degrees."
"The academy spent many years unable to figure this out. At that time, a powerful angel-level relic related to meteorological disasters appeared in the far north, which seriously interfered with divination and traceability.
After I graduated from the academy, I myself conducted many years of research. Later I found out that I was born among the tribesmen who live on the Arctic ice cap. My parents have been living there for generations. It is said that the origins of these tribesmen are
, is a pilgrim in the fifth era who pursues the path of the moon in the far north."
Therefore, her ancestor probably met the werewolf girl Miss Bister in the fifth era.
"The disaster caused by the angel-level relic at that time caused everyone to die. I still don't know how I survived. But from the memory of my childhood, I was swept into the sky by a blizzard, and then happened to fall
My teacher later said that it was my destiny to become the librarian of the college.
I asked her at the time, then why can’t I become the principal?”
Shade also laughed.
In addition to telling her own story, she seemed to want to teach Shade something, but she was still following him, so she only briefly introduced the powers and systems she was good at.
She uses the power of the red moon like Miss Daniste, but compared to Miss Daniste who specializes in this, this lady is actually a master of potions. After hearing that Shade keeps getting "moon water"
"After using this method, she even dictated several good-sounding potion formulas to Shade, all of which she invented herself:
"Dannister obviously prefers alchemy to potions. I left her all my potion notes, but I guess she didn't read them carefully. When you go back, you can ask her for those
Use the notebook to study by yourself.
Of course, I will also teach you here. If you can stay here for a long time, I think you should be able to learn a lot of knowledge from me that Danist is not interested in."
Chatting makes time go by very quickly, especially when the content of the chat is of great interest to everyone. So the time came to the evening of that day unknowingly. Even the setting sun in the midsummer evening was unbearably hot.
After finishing her day's work, Marissa returned to her rented apartment and met the young knight Faris who was waiting for her downstairs.
The two had another quarrel at the door of the apartment downstairs, and the girl finally did not tell what happened to her. Instead, the knight accidentally used very rude words, which made the girl close the door angrily.
So the knight walked away in despair, while Shade, who was standing by the mailbox across the street, said:
"He seemed to really love that girl."
"I bet he didn't go far, but was waiting to see where the girl would leave the apartment."
She was right. The young knight was indeed waiting in the alley aside. From that position, he could see both the window on the second floor of the apartment and the door of the apartment.
Shade and the black-haired sorceress had been waiting across the street. They did not wait for too long. When the sun set and only the last rays of the setting sun were still shining on the city in the forest, Marisa rented
The window of the second-floor room where I lived was suddenly opened, and then a black crow flew out.
"crow?"
The flying speed of the crow was not very fast, and it looked shaky as if it had just learned to fly. It was completely different from the owl Shade knew. But looking at the shape of the crow, it was clearly an adult bird.
Without waiting for Shade and the sorceress to make any move, the young knight took the lead after hesitating. He was just an ordinary person, so he shouldn't have thought of anything because of the crow. Shade guessed that he thought it was a "flying pigeon delivering a message".
Then, from the other side of the street, two very low-key men who covered their faces with hat brims also followed. Of course Shade didn't know them, but the Thirteenth Ring Sorceress who had been staying in the local area for a while knew them:
"People from the local Natural Church, the church seems to have discovered a problem. So, do those blasphemous elements represent some kind of curse?"
She said softly, but did not ask Shade to catch up with her. Instead, she raised her head and glanced at the open window:
"Since so many people are chasing her, let's not rush to catch up. I released the tracking beacon on her in the afternoon. She can't run far. Come with me to her apartment to have a look. I feel there
There will be clues."
"Maybe we can find a raven feather or two."
Shade said this, but he did not choose to fly directly from the street facing the street in broad daylight. Instead, he walked up the steps downstairs of the apartment and knocked on the door.
The apartment that the young actress rented was similar to that of Dorothy. She only rented a room in an entire building. Dorothy rented an entire floor. In short, the person who opened the door for Shade this time was a
An old woman wearing a hairnet and reading glasses who looked very old.
She lifted her back slightly, adjusted her glasses and glanced at the stranger:
"Young man, who are you looking for?"
Shade made way for the sorceress behind him to cast spells. Unexpectedly, the old man saw the black-haired lady behind him and asked hesitantly:
"Are you a librarian?"
This time, even the thirteen-ring sorceress raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she was well-informed and quickly adjusted her expression:
"Yes, I do work at a university, so do you know me?"
"No, no, I don't know you, but someone left something for you. Come in, I've finally waited for you after all these years."
Shade looked at the lady behind him in astonishment. The latter nodded slightly and motioned for Shade to follow:
"Then I'm sorry to bother you."
The old woman lives on the first floor, and there is a maid to take care of her life. However, the maid went to the market to buy vegetables - the prices of vegetables are cheap in the evening, so she is not at home.
She asked the two of them to sit down in the living room first, while she went to get something. The furniture on the first floor where the old woman lived seemed very old, and she didn't know if it was because of the lack of regular ventilation.
There is a peculiar smell, which is common in the elderly.
She had two cats, one black and one white. The two cats were very interested in Shade. When the old man came back with the box, they were already lying on Shade's lap.
The old man didn't care about his cat's behavior, but put the painted mahogany box on the coffee table, and then sat on the single sofa:
"I was born in 1750. I was seriously ill when I was just born, and I was about to die. Ximu Town was still very small at that time, and there were no good doctors or good hotels. At that time, my family
There was a foreigner staying overnight who claimed to be an astrologer, and it was he who rescued me.
My whole family is very grateful to him, but he did not ask for compensation. My parents told me that he touched my head and said that a week before I passed away, there would be a man with black hair, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, who was very handsome.
A lady comes to the door. If she is the librarian, let me give her this box."
She smiled and said to the black-haired sorceress:
"Over the years, I was always worried that I wouldn't be able to meet you before I died, and that I wouldn't be able to fulfill the promise my parents made. Now it's better, you came on time, and I can prepare my will and funeral."
"Madam, what do you mean by funeral?"
The young maid who walked in from the door carrying a vegetable basket asked curiously. The old man stood up and said to the two people on the sofa:
"There is another letter in the box. You can read it yourself. I won't disturb you anymore. Please remember to close the door for me before leaving."
After saying that, he walked towards the young maid and took her to the kitchen. Before closing the door, he did not forget to greet his two cats. One black cat and one white cat then turned around and walked towards his master.
After the kitchen door closed, Shade once again cast a doubtful look at Ms. Carter, who put her hand on the box:
