Chapter 2812 Crow and Curse
When Shade told these things, he blurred all time-related information to avoid affecting the future. After hearing what Shade said during lunch, the black-haired lady said curiously:
“If according to you, doesn’t Danist teach you nothing?”
“My thaumaturgy – [Glory Moon Realm] and [Moon Dream] were taught by her, as well as some rituals and the use of moonlight slashing were also inspired by her.”
“But these ordinary teachers can also teach.”
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 it wasn’t just Shade who was telling stories that day. When Ms. Helena Carter shared stories with Shade, she didn’t need to think about disrupting 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. In the afternoon, he followed Marissa to the noble manor and watched her preparing for the afternoon in the kitchen. During tea and snacks, the black-haired sorceress talked about her own affairs again:
“I am different from you, and from 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 Official students who enroll directly after awakening their talents.
Even Daniste probably didn’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.”
“It took many years for the college 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 college, I conducted my own research for many years. Later I learned that I was born among the tribesmen living on the Arctic ice cap, and my parents had been living there for generations. It is said that these tribesmen originated from the pilgrims who pursued the way to the moon in the far north during the Fifth Age. ”
So her ancestor probably met the werewolf girl Miss Bister in the fifth era.
“The disaster caused by the angelic relic at that time caused everyone to die. I still don’t know how I survived. It’s just that from the memory of my childhood, I was swept into the sky by a snowstorm. Then it happened to be where the entrance of the college was. My teacher later said that this meant that I was destined to become the college librarian.
I asked her at that time, why can’t I become the principal? ”
Xia De 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 Sha De had a way to continuously obtain “Moonlight Water”, she even dictated several good-sounding potion formulas to Sha De, 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 tell her Come to those notebooks and study on your own.
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 quickly, especially when the content of the chat is of 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 Faris, a young knight waiting for her downstairs in the apartment.
The two had another argument at the door of the apartment downstairs, and the girl ultimately 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 seems to really love that girl.”
“I bet he didn’t go far, but was waiting to see where the girl would leave the apartment later.”
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.
Xia De and the black-haired sorceress have been waiting across the street. They did not wait for too long. When the sun sets, only the last rays of the setting sun are still shining on the city in the forest. The window of the second-floor room where Marissa rented was suddenly opened, and then a black crow flew out.
“Crow?”
The crow didn’t fly 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.
Not waiting for Shade and the sorceress to make any move, the young knight took the lead to follow after hesitation. 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”.
Subsequently, from the other side of the street, two very low-key men covering their faces with hat brims also followed. Of course Shade didn’t know them, but the Thirteenth Ring Sorceress who had been staying locally 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 follow 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 have a feeling there will be clues there.”
“Maybe we can find a crow feather or two.”
Xia De 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 the young actress rented was similar to Dorothy’s. Both of them only rented a room in an entire building. Dorothy rented an entire floor. In short, the person who opened the door to Shade this time was 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?”
Xia De made way for the sorceress behind him to cast spells. Unexpectedly, the old man saw the black-haired lady behind him again 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 have finally waited for you after so many years.”
Xia De looked at the lady behind him in astonishment. The latter nodded slightly and motioned for Shade to follow:
“Excuse me then.”
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 while she went to get something. The furniture on the first floor where the old woman lives appears to be very old, and I don’t know if it is because of the lack of regular ventilation. There is also a peculiar smell in the room, which is a common smell 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 had a serious illness when I was just born, and I was about to die. At that time, Ximu Town was still very small, and there were no good doctors or good hotels. At that time, there was a foreigner staying at home who claimed to be an astrologer, and he came to my rescue.
My whole family is very grateful to him, but he did not ask for payment. My parents told me that he touched my head and said that a week before I passed away, a very handsome lady with black hair and a wide-brimmed hat would come to my door. If she was a librarian, she would 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. Read it for yourselves. I won’t disturb you. Please remember to close the door for me before leaving.”
As he said 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 owner.
When the kitchen door closed, Shade once again cast a doubtful look at Ms. Carter, who put her hand on the box:
“I bet I’ll be pretty surprised in a minute.”
