Chapter 1434

"I am truly curious, Xia De, what kind of friend you are going to save."

Miss Daniste muttered, watching Xia De lying down holding the cat, and reached out to prepare to close the coffin:

"In a while, your perception of time will have problems; this is a normal phenomenon, don't worry about it. In addition, you absolutely must not actively open this coffin from the inside. Remember, absolutely not! Even if you think decades have passed, you cannot. There will be people to meet you on the academy side; I have already greeted them, and no one will inquire about your identity. You and that Miss Emilia Xiangnuode can just act as you please."

She reached her hand into the coffin and finally couldn't help but want to touch the cat, but Mia quite "fiercely" swiped her hand away with its claws.

"I feel the coffin is shaking violently now; is this also a normal phenomenon?" Xia De asked worriedly.

"It is not a normal phenomenon; it's another earthquake." Miss Daniste said in a relaxed tone:

"So, are you ready for another short trip to the academy?"

She gave a light push and closed the coffin lid. After waiting for a few seconds to confirm that no abnormal situation had occurred, she left the camp again and walked toward Miss Sylvia, who was waiting outside the camp:

"This lady, come with me to welcome him; Xia De will be back soon."

Upholding the idea of saying less to make fewer mistakes, Miss Sylvia just nodded simply; she was quite in awe of this long-famous Thirteenth-Tier sorceress. The two then walked side by side in the snowy forest. No one spoke for the first few minutes, but Miss Daniste finally spoke first:

"I think you should know who I am. Xia De Hamilton is the successor and student I have chosen. I know that young, handsome gentlemen of his age will all be... interested in beautiful ladies. But I hope you can also understand that his future is limitless; perhaps a hundred years from now, he will be who I am now, so I hope..."

"I leave him?"

Miss Sylvia asked, suppressing a laugh in her heart, thinking of those messy knight stories she had seen in the corner of Margaret's study before.

Miss Daniste was very serious:

"He is not suitable to be your lover."

"You probably have this relationship reversed."

The young Great Witch corrected, the two ladies' long boots stepping on the snow, making a rhythmic sound. And the Thirteenth-Tier sorceress was stunned for a moment before understanding what this meant.

Miss Sylvia frowned slightly, thinking of the troubles and challenges she was facing, and then added: "Besides, Xia De hasn't agreed yet."

"Hmm?"

"This requires waiting in line. It's not just about who comes first, but also about considering those girls who have many methods. Professor Daniste, you and I are not from the same era, and the current year 1854 is no longer the era when you were a student. This kind of thing requires competition, even more difficult and testing of strategy than war, and obviously, I am still in a relatively lagging position."

Thus, before reaching the very close destination, the Librarian of St. Byrons was deeply immersed in the facts she had learned.

On the other side, Xia De, lying in the coffin holding the cat, did not fall into any danger or pain. In fact, when the coffin lid was just closed, he did feel a cold wind blow from his pant leg into his clothes. While he shivered violently, he also felt as if someone was blowing wind behind his neck.

But immediately after, the cat he was holding and he himself began to glow together. The warm light on Little Mia's body, like the sun, soon dispelled the chilling, haunted-like atmosphere in the coffin.

Mia probably felt it was interesting now. In the small space, it lay on Xia De's chest, its large amber eyes looking at Xia De, and Xia De also slightly raised his head to look at the cat. The person and the cat stared at each other for about half a minute, and the coffin lid sounded again.

When the first ray of light shone in, Mia was stuffed into Xia De's clothes by Xia De, and Xia De had already arrived at St. Byrons. "This way."

The location where the other coffin was stored was a small room located underground; this

was an academy building Xia De had never been to. After crawling out of the coffin, led by a silent old gentleman in a white robe, he soon saw Emilia, who had already changed out of her pajamas. Not only had she changed out of her pajamas, she had even simply tied up her hair with a hair tie, and this appearance looked quite capable.

Although the elf girl's secret was known to the academy, her mental state at this moment was clearly not dejected but excited:

"There are few opportunities to walk around the academy so late. A long, long time from now, when I am also at the age of holding a kitten and covering myself with a blanket, sitting in a rocking chair in the afternoon sun, I will miss this night very much."

"That would probably be hundreds of years from now."

The old gentleman who led Xia De said, glancing at the elf girl without warning her that she could not walk around at will tonight. Emilia called this old gentleman "Professor Constantine," and the other party was likely a professor of the "Library Management Academy" who specialized in housing and guarding artifacts.

"Please allow me to express my apologies again..." Xia De hurriedly said to the elf.

"Oh, please don't say that anymore. Teach me more ancient elf rune knowledge when you have the chance in the future. Follow me; the entrance to that passage is not in the area of the academy city, but near the habitat of the unicorns."

Just as Miss Daniste said, indeed no one asked about Xia De's identity. Before saying goodbye to Professor Constantine, he and the young elf girl each received a dark St. Byrons school badge pendant.

According to the old professor of the Library Management Academy, St. Byrons after curfew has enough ways to detect whether students who have not yet graduated have violated the curfew regulations, so to walk through St. Byrons in the night, one needs a "credential" to prove that one has obtained permission.

It was probably because Miss Daniste had already given instructions that no one followed the subsequent actions, only Xia De and Emilia.

The area covered by St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy is no smaller than the city of Tobesk, and the unicorn breeding area that Emilia mentioned is actually very far from the academy castle located in the core part of the city.

However, they didn't need to ride horses, take carriages, or even ride flying carpets. In this huge extreme northern city built on the foundation of the Academy of Arcane Arts, there are relatively simple methods of short-distance teleportation. Usually, these teleportation devices are rarely used by students, but fortunately, Miss Daniste gave enough permission tonight.

Thus, one second they were in the basement of the academy's Great Library, passing through the obsidian door carved with fine runes, and the next second they had already appeared in the forest under the night sky where the obsidian door stood.

Compared to the snowy Lende Valley tonight, the weather in St. Byrons, located in the extreme north, was unexpectedly good. Looking at the night sky from the forest far from the city, the galaxy was like it was hanging upside down overhead. Little Mia stood on Xia De's shoulder looking at the stars above, but the anxious Xia De had no mood to appreciate the academy this time.

"This way."

The elf miss wrapped in a robe led the way. After walking for only a few minutes on the path with signposts in the forest, they saw a tree with a wooden sign hanging that read "Unicorn Home."

However, the building ahead was not the stable or the little cottage in fairy tales that Xia De had imagined. Continuing to walk forward, passing through the jungle, there was a large lake. In the center of the large lake was an island, and a giant tree on the island almost covered the entire island, while hundreds of unicorns emitting pure white light were gathered in twos and threes, sleeping under the tree's shadow.

Dots of white light drifted on the lake water and the island, like fireflies, but it seemed to be just an abnormal optical phenomenon produced after the unicorns gathered collectively. The rippling light reflected the pure white magical animals under the giant tree, and those light spots, together with the rippling light, made this scene look even more fantastical.

The night tonight was very beautiful, so much so that Xia De couldn't bear to disturb the quiet atmosphere here. Emilia, who was standing by the lake with Xia De, explained:

"St. Byrons has more than twenty unicorn populations. The one that the teacher assigned to me and my companions to manage is smaller in scale; after all, I am still a student. Opening that ancient passage requires the help of unicorns. In fact, discovering that road back then was also because of their help."

As she spoke, she put her finger into her mouth and then blew hard

a whistle.

Although that highly penetrating whistle was not very harsh, it still woke up the sleeping creatures on the island in this quiet night.

They looked at the source of the sound, and then one after another stood up. White light surrounded them, and they themselves were as quiet as the night.

Emilia took out the school badge pendant and shouted:

"I have already obtained the academy's permission; I need the help of one of you tonight!"

Thus, most of the unicorns lay down again. After waiting for a moment, the smallest young beast in the population spread its wings and ran toward the lakeside, stepping on the lake water reflecting the star sea.

The soft fur lay low in the wind, and as its body passed, it left faint white light trails in the night.

And the young blonde elf also smiled and reached her hand to the back of her head, untied the hair tie, and let her blonde hair spread out and sway in the wind.

She opened her arms and took a step forward by the lake to welcome the partner who was about to arrive: "Liana, I need your help again tonight."

If time hadn't been tight, Xia De actually wouldn't have wanted to disturb this scene, which was like a tempera painting. Fortunately, it wasn't him who disturbed this scene. Little Mia recognized the "playmate" it had seen before. It meowed, and the happy little unicorn shivered, then broke free from Emilia's arms and obediently came to Xia De's front.
