Chapter 2713 Weekend Night
Professor Manning has indeed been to many places, because Professor Manning’s name can be heard in almost every city that Shade visited.
However, it is obvious that Professor Manning, who is younger than Professor Quinto, did not participate in the research on the ancient temple in Ximu Town half a century ago. Just when Shade thought he didn’t have to disturb the professor this time, Professor Quintu said with a smile:
“Professor Manning and I have also talked about this temple in Ximu Town. Coincidentally, he has also participated in the investigation of ancient ruins similar to the ruins of this temple.”
The red-haired girl poked Shade in surprise, and Shade quickly asked:
“Is there such a thing? So has Professor Manning mentioned that ruins similar to this one, and where is the specific location? Has anyone written a paper and studied it?”
“I’m sorry, it’s been many years. How about you write to Professor Manning and ask for advice? He might still remember it.”
So, Shade still needs to visit Cat Tail Alley.
Farewell to Professor Quintu, the red-haired girl took the initiative to take Shade’s arm, and the two of them pretended to be ordinary tourists and officially started visiting the Golden Music Hall Museum.
The exhibition area about the history of this concert hall in the museum is not large. Most of the exhibits here are actually cultural relics from the development history of the city of Vista. After Shade saw the sketch of the temple ruins, he drew the sketch in his notebook using Nian Shu, and then drew the route of Professor Quintu’s “sleepwalking” on the sketch.
Since the professor was attracted in the dream but could not find the target, Shade thought that the target was hidden, and the professor’s patrolling route actually always revolved around the hidden target.
So when the route was drawn on the sketch of the temple, it was easy to see that Professor Quintu generally wandered around the northeastern area of the temple ruins. After matching this area with the real Golden Concert Hall, its general location is in the east-central part of the entire “Four-Leaf Clover”.
That area was the backstage of the concert hall and a small number of offices. Shade and Miss Denister sneaked in to investigate, and sure enough found nothing.
After the dragon beast from the past attacked the Golden Music Hall, the church has investigated here many times. Although Shade’s perception is different from ordinary people, he cannot immediately detect secrets that even the church cannot discover.
The two of them wandered around the Golden Music Hall together for the whole afternoon, and only returned to the Accordion Hotel near the evening like tourists out for a walk.
At this time, Miss Bell has woken up. Although she still looks a little sluggish, she should be able to fully recover soon. It’s just that she actually doesn’t remember anything about the things she saw in Bronte’s memory, not even what she said before she fell into coma.
“I only remember seeing the dark shadow of the big tree, and then I fainted immediately.”
Miss Winslet thinks this is a good thing, indicating that the influence of evil things is not rooted in the soul, and that the soul’s spontaneous forgetfulness is actually a self-protection measure.
She is a master of soul research, and since she says it’s okay, then it’s okay. And when she heard about the actions of Shade and Miss Danister throughout the afternoon, she asked with some teasing:
“So you guys just spent the whole afternoon shopping together, right?”
“That’s called an investigation, and we’re not wasting our time.”
The eighteen-year-old sorceress corrected, and Shade said:
“It’s not completely fruitless. I’ll go back to Tobesk and ask about Professor Manning’s ruins. Maybe the ruins he encountered are related to the ruins here.”
Shad did not stay for dinner, but chose to return home with the cat, and planned to visit Professor Manning after dinner.
When he returned home, he found that Vanessa and Sirius were also at home. And when he heard that the duchess had invited Vanessa to stay at No. 6 Saint Teresa Square on Sunday, Shade immediately knew the other party’s plan.
“I didn’t see that Carina had such a hobby. She likes to accompany you with other girls, right?”
The blond female opera singer asked Shade curiously, but Shade could not answer such a question.
Although it was the weekend, Luvia had to deal with the affairs of the Prophet Association and could not make it home in time for dinner. Carina also had to come back later, so the dinner was served by Shade, Vanessa, Eat together with Sirius.
During dinner, Vanessa also asked Shade about the details of her recent interactions with Miss Winslet. When she heard that the witch was even willing to turn into a unicorn and let Shade ride on it, the witch of the earth showed an expression of admiration to Shade:
“I always thought that Flora was the kind of girl who was very stylish and elegant. Also, she used to just say that she was studying the transformation of unicorns, which must have been successful in the past few months, and she specially painted Oil painting.”
Siris on the side just smiled, probably thinking of Vanessa’s own affairs.
Seeing Sirius smiling so happily, Shade mentioned Margaret again:
“You and Margaret have been separated for so long. Is there no problem with her learning as an apprentice?”
“No problem, Sylvia is by her side, and I meet her regularly in the parliament to check on her study progress.”
Vanessa doesn’t care much about this. Apprentices don’t have to be with the teacher at all times. She thinks Margaret’s self-discipline is fine.
But that’s not what Shade wants to talk about:
“How did I hear Margaret say, Siris, you played her some of Vanessa’s memories?”
As a result, the faces of the two blond ladies across the table turned red at the same time, and Vanessa asked first:
“Hirlis, how could you do this? This is too much!”
The young girl pursed her lips and glanced at her best friend, then said to Shade:
“Okay, I admit that I shouldn’t do this. So let’s do this, I still have some Vanessa initiative here”
She stressed the word.
“I will give you some of the memories that were given to me on your own initiative. However, I am worried that I have made a mistake in the memory contents. After dinner, do you want to check them together? Or wait for Miss Luvia and Carina. Check it out together when you get back, it will be faster.”
So Vanessa didn’t dare to speak.
After dinner, Vanessa entered the [Witch Council] for a meeting, leaving only Shade and Sirius at home. The satiated cat rested sleepily on Shade’s lap. Although Shade planned to visit Professor Manning, he and Sirius had not had a heart-to-heart talk for a long time:
“Vanessa really um. Shared a lot of memories with you?”
The young blonde girl was sitting next to him, tilting her head and looking at him with a smile:
“What do you think? But please allow me to compliment you, Shade, you have a really good figure.”
“Chillis.”
He then took Sirius’s hand, and the latter gave a symbolic resistance and fell into Shade’s arms. After a gentle kiss, Sirius looked at him with confused eyes. Then he took the cat, who didn’t know what was going on, from Shade’s lap to the coffee table, and sat directly on him.
This made Sirius’ head sit higher than Shade’s. She hugged Shade’s neck and took a deep breath:
“This kind of life is really wonderful. Vanessa and I are here with you, and we have dinner at your house on a free Sunday night. A year ago now, I could not have imagined that something like this would happen in the future. Change, at that time I was just a silly girl who occasionally wondered where my father had been.”
She kissed Shade’s forehead, and Shade commented:
“Your father is a great man.”
“But this can’t cover up the fact that he abandoned me when I was young. I don’t want to talk about it now.”
Looking at her beautiful eyes, Shade knew what she meant:
“But aren’t you a little inconvenient now?”
The blonde girl’s face turned slightly red:
“You actually know this? That’s why I envy Vanessa and the others occasionally. It doesn’t matter. I think you have a lot of tricks, don’t you? Calculating the time, this meeting with Vanessa will take at least two hours. Just came back.”
She winked condescendingly at Shade, first unbuttoned her shirt with some shyness, then raised her hands high and stretched behind her head, trying to gather her hair. Such movements inevitably made her upper body move closer to Shade.
“I can’t compare to Miss Servit, don’t compare me to her.”
The somewhat worried Sirius said this, but Shade, who was gradually shrouded in shadow, immediately denied:
“Of course I won’t compare you to her, but.”
“Shad, do you really want your mouth to keep talking?”
“Oh, okay.”
So the cat, which was put on the coffee table for no reason, was very curious about what Shade was eating.
Shad’s plan to go out tonight has been abandoned, but the parliamentary meeting is still going on as usual. No one asked for leave today, the thirteen great witches and their apprentices gathered together, and the main agenda of the council was the same as last week, with Flora Winslet reporting on the investigation of the Vista Woods.
So many things happened in this week. Even though the report had been prepared, the report on the Brontë family, Dead Apostles, etc. still continued for a long time.
The discovery of the suspected remains of the World Tree this morning even surprised the other twelve witches. Adele Isabella even considered sending people to the Vista Woodland for support, but she immediately Rejected by Flora Winslet.
For this reason, when the meeting ended and everyone left, it was already 9:30 pm.
Speaker Isabella took the lead to walk out of the fog door behind her, followed by Megan, who was handling the angelic relic with her.
The others also stood up and left with their apprentices, but Miss Winslet stopped Miss Sylvia and Vanessa, so Miss Aurora, who was about to leave, winked at Carina, and then The reporter was originally talking to Miss Belindel about recent events in Moon Bay, so he motioned to the Countess of the South Country to go ahead. She smiled and said goodbye to Granny Cassandra before sitting down again.
