Chapter 2543 The Missing Sorceress
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 "Red Butterfly Day" was coming to an end, they casually accompanied Shade for a few bites before leaving separately, and agreed with Shade that the next Red Butterfly Day 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, by the evening of that day, the weather suddenly became clearer. 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 shouted upstairs.
Shade looked up the stairs, and when he quickly arrived at the study room on the second floor, he saw the poetry pages 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 doesn't 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: Reflection of the Moon 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 clues were cut off, she decided to investigate the situation of "Astrologer Euclid" who also died in Mount Karas a hundred years ago. At that time, the astrologer was active in the area of Riverwood Town.
But knowing Miss Danister's destination was not enough, because the sorceress did not let Shade intervene in this matter, so she did not share with Shade what clues she knew.
Similarly, she did not tell the college about her specific action arrangements in Riverwood Town, or Vista Forest, 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 a big trouble that traps this thirteen-ring lady, other people going to rescue her will probably only increase the number of missing people.
Perhaps he guessed what Shade was thinking, or thought that Shade and Miss Danister had a close relationship, Professor Norton also comforted:
"You probably know that Professor Danister's teacher, the previous generation of librarian, also disappeared inexplicably, but she disappeared after she left office. The principal is worried that the same thing will happen again. If the members who go to investigate do not find any clues, Principal Professor Pigman will go to the Creekwood area in person.
It is not known what happened to Miss Danister yet, so the college did not notify the church. You don't have to worry too much, maybe Professor Danister will contact us tomorrow morning."
"I understand."
Shade Of course, De would not be really relieved:
"If there is any news about Miss Danister, please inform me as soon as possible. Or if you need my help, I am always available."
Professor Norton nodded, and then motioned 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 insisted that it is very important: If Professor Danister has not returned within three months, you need to leave immediately and come to the college to temporarily take over the position of librarian."
"Huh? Is it necessary to be so anxious?"
Shad was much more surprised by this sentence than Miss Danister's disappearance. After all, he felt from the beginning that all investigations related to "Karas Mountain" would definitely lead to big trouble:
"And I am a correspondence student, not even a high-level one."
Professor Norton shook his head cautiously:
"Although I am the dean, there are still many things I don't know. I can only say that if St. Byrons wants to operate normally, the two positions of [Principal] and [Librarian] must be supported by someone, which seems to be related to the underlying rules of this ancient college.
Professor Danister has chosen you as the successor, which is already recognized by the college, so it doesn't matter whether you are a correspondence student or a student on campus. It's just that in this way, the connection between the college and the God Summoner"
He stopped the topic in time:
"Of course, this is just the worst case scenario. We all believe that Professor Danister has just encountered some troubles and will be back soon. Principal Professor Pigman is just worried about the worst case scenario. He is the principal of the entire school and has a lot to consider."
Shad did not consider the possibility of suddenly becoming a librarian at all:
"Yes, then I will wait for news at home and hope everything goes well."
[You definitely don't think about waiting 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. If I were still a low-level ring, it would be fine. Now I am an eighth-level ring, and there is no need to hesitate about many things. I will go to Ximu Town in person, and Miss Danister must not get into trouble."
[Leave now? ]
"She" continued to ask softly, and Shade looked at the night outside:
"Even if I go to Ximu Town, I don't have any clues to find Miss Danister. I remember Miss Danister said that Vista City was upgraded from the past Ximu Town, and its area is far smaller than Yuewan City, but the area of the entire Vista Forest is not small
Now try to set up road signs, go to Ximu Town to take a look to confirm that there is an exit of the [Space Maze] there, and go to the Prophet Association to ask Luvia for help tomorrow morning."
Shade has always been a very active person. Once he has made a decision, he will not delay. It happened that he just returned home, and he didn't even need to change his clothes. After saying goodbye to Mia, he was ready to set off.
Taking the [Lucky Soy Milk], he dug out the [White Stone Crystal] from the gift box last month from the basement. Finally, in order to deal with possible dangers, he took the appropriate relics. After hesitating for a while, he still picked up the [Night Watchman], then turned around and touched the ancient god statue: "May the original crack protect me in the infinite space.
