Chapter 1055

This is a straight path, but it reaches its end in just a few dozen steps. At the end are five bookshelves, one of which is directly facing the exit, with two on the left and two on the right. However, the bookshelves on the left and right are not placed tightly against each other, but leave a subtle distance.

And that distance, no matter how you look at it, seems like another passageway.

"Yes, the functional areas of the Council are interconnected, but generally speaking, they are in a hidden state."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na explained briefly, then pointed to those bookshelves:

"The information is all here."

Those are five gray, crooked stone bookshelves, looking even more ancient than the bookshelves in Sister Daifulin's mountain-top sacrificial site. Each bookshelf is divided into five levels, and each level is filled with books. But no matter how full they are, the number of books that can be placed here is only a few hundred. Compared to the ancient history of the Witch Council, Xia De even doubts whether these books can hold the names of all the past council members.

"What you see is only the surface; in reality, there is a vast amount of information. While reaching out your hand, imagine the information you want, and what you receive will definitely be the information you want."

Miss Xierweiya saw Xia De's confusion and explained softly.

"Of course, only council members are qualified to retrieve information; members like Sister Daifulin who are allowed to attend are not qualified."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na added.

At the same time, "She" whispered in Xia De's ear:

【Perhaps you can try it.】

"Can I retrieve books like a full member?"

【You even have voting rights now. Outsider, as you come into contact with more Witch Echoes, you will have more permissions here.】

"Trying it is fine, it's better to let Miss Miss Jia Lin Na retrieve it for me."

Xia De thought to himself and asked the witch beside him:

"I think I understand, so the appearance of these bookshelves is not important; their essence is symbolic objects?"

"Yes."

Miss Xierweiya nodded:

"A very precise description. The bookshelves themselves only signify the function here; in reality, there is no difference from nailing a 'Database' or 'Library' plaque on them. However, these bookshelves are indeed very ancient. The Speaker said they probably come from the Third Era. Only this kind of special environment could allow these bookshelves to be preserved so well."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na took over the conversation:

"The secrets of the Council are probably not even fully understood by the Speaker, Miss Yisha. But let's not waste time here. If others come in later, are we supposed to let Xia De hide under our skirts?"

She made a small joke, while Miss Xierweiya, not knowing what she was thinking, glanced at Xia De with a slightly flushed face.

Xia De reached out, wanting to touch the bookshelf; after all, antiques from the Third Era are truly rare:

"Alright then, Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, you retrieve the information. The name of that lady, in the language of the early Fifth Era, is pronounced... hmm?"

He reached out to touch the bookshelf directly facing the exit. The surface of the stone bookshelf was already pitted and bumpy; some were natural traces, but more were scratches or even marks made directly by fingers and palms.

"She" suddenly reminded him with a smile:

【A familiar power. Move your finger down a bit, yes, move to the left, and touch this fingerprint.】

When Xia De's finger touched the fingerprint "She" mentioned, he felt that what he was touching was not stone, but warm skin. The fingerprint on the bookshelf emitted a soft, golden-yellow light; it was the light of the moon.

"What's wrong?"

The two witches also noticed this strange light. As they retreated with Xia De, the three of them heard a gentle sigh simultaneously:

"Long time no see, Xia De."

This was the language of the Fifth Era. The witches' ancient languages were all very good, so they could understand it. The two looked at Xia De in surprise, only to see Xia De first surprised, then slightly stunned, before realizing what was happening:

"Long time no see..."

Flowing light flew out from the fingerprint, and faint light spots swirled around Xia De. This power was already very weak.

Those flowing lights finally converged in front of Xia De. The figure that walked out of the light was still that familiar appearance. Yellow hair, slightly pointed ears, and the robe on her body had patterns like vines and branches; that was the unique decoration of the elves.

Miss Bulaini Oulannuode, the first librarian of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, the "Moon Witch" who had met Xia De twice in the Forest of Thousand Trees and the Valley of Dead Silence, reunited with Xia De again at the end of the year 1853 of the Sixth Era.

Of course, what was in front of him now was just a phantom, just like when he first saw the Witch Emperor, Miss Weierliite, in the belly of Mount Xikaer.

"This scene... Xiwei seems to have described it to me."

The Duchess muttered in a low voice, while Miss Xierweiya looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment.

"Miss Oulannuode."

Xia De looked at the lady in front of him, and the latter revealed a gentle smile:

"Don't worry, I didn't die here. Teacher asked me to leave a message for you here. Oh, look, you received it after all."

Although she had said these words to the air a thousand years ago, she still looked as if she really saw Xia De.

Her right hand lifted slightly, as if wanting to touch Xia De's face. The position of the hand was very precise, really placing it beside Xia De's cheek, but when Xia De also raised his hand wanting to touch that hand, what he touched was only air.

"We will eventually reunite."

The half-elf witch looked at Xia De and said softly:

"Just as Teacher said, when we first met, fate had already determined everything that followed."

This sentence made Miss Miss Jia Lin Na a little unhappy, while Miss Xierweiya looked at this scene in shock; her understanding of Xia De was far less than Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's.

"No need to search here; you won't find the information on the witch Keluoyi. In the distant future after my time, the Council's rebellion at the end of the Fifth Era will cause all that information to be lost."

Miss Oulannuode's phantom looked at Xia De, her gaze crossing time and space:

"Information about that lady is rare even in our era. It is currently certain that she was an early founder and participant of the Zhalasi Society, and played a quite important role in the establishment of the Zhalasi Literary Society."

Xia De nodded immediately, and the half-elf witch showed a nostalgic expression, "gazing" at Xia De, then continued:

"Teacher once specially visited the Zhalasi Society and searched for information about that lady through Miss Sai Miu Er's connections. What is certain is that she eventually became a demigod, after an adventure for which there is no information at all."

Xia De heard the Duchess behind him suddenly breathing much more heavily, and Miss Xierweiya directly grabbed Xia De's sleeve.

"Other than that, most information is useless to you. Teacher said you can go to the Light-Guiding Ascetic Society to search for information; they should have the information you want."

Miss Oulannuode said with some regret, her eyes looking at Xia De, and then she gently bit her lip:

"If it weren't just air in front of me, I would really want to kiss you... Kissing the air would seem very strange, not only Teacher, but Fiona would also laugh at me, so I won't do that."

Her figure gradually began to dissipate into light spots. The half-elf witch "gazed" at Xia De, and Xia De also gazed at her:

"We will eventually reunite. May the moon bless you and me."

No one spoke again until there was nothing left in front of them. The dissipated light spots finally darted into the position of Xia De's heart.

【Outsider, you have obtained "Witch Echo: Oulannuode".】

With a light chuckle, she added:

【This is the complete Witch Echo.】

"A story spanning a thousand years, it really is romantic."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's voice came from behind; no matter how you listen to it, it sounds like sarcasm.

"Do those ancient old women always like to do this kind of thing?"

The Duchess continued, and Princess Lei Qianya had also said this "ancient old women" phrasing not long ago. From this perspective, although the two did not get along, they were surprisingly similar.

"The one just now was..."

Miss Xierweiya tugged at Xia De's sleeve, and Xia De touched his own face:

"Miss Bulaini Oulannuode, the first librarian of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy, the most important student of Miss Mana Feilian'anna, and the teacher of Miss Fiona Delage, the second principal of St. Byrons... I have met her twice in the past."

"I know you are an investigator, but can you interact with people from the past when going to the past?"

She asked suspiciously, then was forcibly interrupted by Miss Miss Jia Lin Na.

The Duchess asked:

"How many more chances do you have to see that Miss Keluoyi?"

"Once."

Miss Xierweiya understood this conversation even less.

"Miss Miss Jia Lin Na, I know you want to know the secret of the demigod, but the Miss Keluoyi I met is only at the eleventh tier. At least in my opinion, she is really only at the eleventh tier, and because her state is not good, she can at most use secret arts like the 'Thousand Cat Curse'."

Xia De emphasized, and the Duchess made an uncivilized "Tsk~" sound, then did not continue to ask.

But it could be seen that Miss Xierweiya's curiosity at this moment was about to reach its peak:

"So... what exactly is going on?"

"Xia De's time travel is time travel in the true sense, going to the past to participate in those stories."

Miss Miss Jia Lin Na said, satisfied to see the expression on Miss Xierweiya's face:

"But more things cannot be told to you, Emma. You had better ask Xia De yourself; after all, this is his secret. As for the lady just now, she was just a friend Xia De made in the past."

She paused and added with a serious expression:

"I have always hoped to learn the method for witches of the Fifth Era to achieve demigod status through Xia De; you understand why I do this. But unfortunately, he has not yet been able to meet an ancient witch who has already become a demigod. Speaking of which, Xiwei and Grandma Kashandela also vaguely know that there is something wrong with Xia De, but they did not investigate as thoroughly as you."
