Chapter 2147: Moon Bay and Elf
Xia De, holding the cat, tried his best to show his sincerity. Miss Dannister sighed slightly:
"Do
"I am very clear-headed, and I am also very confident. You know me, Miss Danister. Up until now, haven't I always been creating miracles?"
After saying this, Xia De also felt he was being a bit arrogant. But he did not know that the librarian young lady in front of him did not think he was boasting; she just looked at her student with worry:
"You don't need to take everything upon yourself; this will make you live very tiredly. You are only in your twenties, at this age..."
"Some things must be done by me."
Xia De stopped stroking Little Mia, so the slightly dissatisfied cat raised its head. It watched as Xia De and the red-haired woman looked at each other for a moment, before the latter nodded helplessly:
"Alright then, at least you still remember to ask me for help now, instead of coming to tell me after you've already resolved this matter. So, what help can I provide you? You shouldn't have come specifically just to notify me that you are going to do something big, right?"
"It's like this: in order to confuse that demon's attention, the site of the final battle must be chosen in a city where fate is chaotic."
"Are you talking about Tobesk?"
She guessed, and Xia De immediately shook his head.
"How could you think that? Moon Bay, yes, the city where the Chosen One is about to appear. Amelia and the others have just left Tobesk, and I don't know which city the Academy will arrange for them to go to next, so I wanted to ask you to change their destination."
Miss Danister nodded:
"It's a bit troublesome, after all, the Chosen One is about to appear there, but it's not impossible. Please wait a moment, let me ask about the new destination the Academy has arranged for Miss Xiang Jia."
After all, Amelia was not her student and did not even belong to the Library Management Academy, so Miss Danister did not know how the Academy had arranged it. She had many things to deal with every day, and she could not care about everyone.
Among the documents piled on the coffee table in front of the sofa set was a small bell. Miss Danister shook it gently twice. As the crisp sound of the bell rang out, a black-haired young lady wearing the Academy's uniform robe walked quickly from the bookshelves toward them. She had beautiful heterochromatic eyes:
"Miss Danister!"
The robes of different majors were almost indistinguishable. When Saint Byrons was first established, Miss Feilian had considered that students of different majors might form cliques and become hostile due to the differences in the academies, so there had been a rule since then that the Academy's standard robes would only differ according to the grade level. And this young lady, who had come because of the bell's summons, had a circle of silver trim on her cuffs, representing that she was at the first ring of the middle ring, which was the fifth ring.
"Send this to the 'Off-Campus Practice Office' of the 'Student Management Department' and have Ms. Helatris reply to me immediately."
A piece of letter paper flew out from under the pile of books on the coffee table, and ink automatically appeared on it. This was the sorcery 【Thought Writing】 that Duo Luo Xi was also proficient in. Subsequently, the letter paper went into an envelope and flew in front of the fifth-ring young lady.
After she took the envelope, she immediately turned around and walked quickly back into the bookshelves. Miss Danister picked up her teacup at this time:
"It will take about ten to twenty minutes. A demon, ah... tell me about the progress of your investigation in Moon Bay."
The two then chatted. Xia De mentioned that he and his friends had entered the sewers to look for clues and had subsequently encountered the black cat that had a wish. He did not mention in detail how he had let that cat see its mother, but he used very detailed language to depict the sea surface under the dim sunset at that time.
Miss Danister did not seem to be moved by the story of the black cat, but after Xia De finished speaking, she praised Xia De for doing a very good job.
As for the matter of the 【Dragon Feast Sect】 possibly colluding with local vampires, she did not give her own opinion. She only reminded Xia De slightly that the internal conflicts among vampires were sometimes even greater than their conflicts with other species.
Sixteen minutes later, when Xia De was talking about the news that someone had melted in the light during the dance party last night, the young lady who had gone to deliver the letter returned with quick steps, bringing the reply from the Student Management Department. Calling it a reply, it was actually a kraft paper document bag; it looked like this was all the information regarding Amelia's off-campus practice this time.
Miss Danister did not look at it herself, but gave it to Xia De. And after Xia De opened the bag, while stopping Little Mia from burrowing inside, he read through the documents one by one, and then he said in astonishment:
"If I could have known in advance the next off-campus practice location Amelia was assigned to, I might have been able to guess before she left Tobesk that the problem with her was definitely not just being targeted by cultists. Miss Danister, there is a problem here; Amelia and the others' next destination is actually Moon Bay."
He handed the information in his hand to the librarian young lady:
"In a situation where it has already been confirmed that the Chosen One of Light is about to appear in the Moon Bay area, the Academy would actually still send students to Moon Bay for off-campus practice?"
"What?"
Miss Danister also did not expect this answer. She took those documents to carefully check and read them, and then reached a shocking conclusion:
"How is it possible? These documents have all gone through regular procedures and all have the signatures and seals of the persons in charge of each department. But now, even the practice group originally sent to Moon Bay is considering an immediate recall. Is the Student Management Department crazy? How could they send people to Moon Bay again... Is this again caused by her bad luck?"
Miss Danister looked at Xia De in surprise:
"If this is really the case, I must admit that I underestimated that demon just now."
Xia De accepted this matter quite quickly. Compared to encountering relics one after another, being sent to a dangerous place for a "vacation" obviously didn't count for much:
"I have never mentioned to Amelia that I am in Moon Bay. If it weren't for something going wrong in the Academy, this could only be bad luck caused by an accident. But it's not entirely bad luck either; at least there's no need to make her change her destination again."
Xia De said, stroking Little Mia, and after thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Amelia and the others can arrive in Moon Bay on Sunday. Can the Academy deploy a unicorn to Amelia's side? To help suppress the curse. If anyone questions the reason for doing this afterward, we will claim to the outside world that Amelia's clan was truly worried about her, so they paid a great price to persuade the Academy's top brass to agree to do this. Of course, after this matter is over, I will also persuade Amelia to help cover it up."
Miss Danister raised an eyebrow:
"Xia De, you must know that secretly transporting a unicorn to Moon Bay is essentially no different from secretly transporting a dragon to Moon Bay."
"Hmm... is an underage one not okay either? The unicorn Amelia likes the most, I remember its name is 'Liana'."
"I know that little beast, but this is not a question of whether it is underage or not. The danger level of unicorns on the list of dangerous creatures does not change because of their age."
Seeing that Xia De was a bit disappointed, she suddenly smiled again:
"If you hadn't come to find me, this would of course be impossible. But who made me your teacher? Let me think of a way to disguise that little unicorn, but you must also remind that elf young lady that she must absolutely not let the church discover it."
"No problem. When the time comes, I'll scare Amelia a bit, tell her that Moon Bay is very dangerous, and let her stay in her room for a week first. By the way, her two companions..."
"They are innocent people who were dragged into this matter, but if they were abruptly made to return to the Academy now while Amelia is not made to return, this would definitely be suspected... How about this, I will have the Student Management Department give the three of them a practice task that requires them to act separately, and let them act separately and stay away from Amelia."
"That will do. Then I will go to the Moon Bay City train station on Sunday to pick up Amelia, and I won't show myself in front of others. Dragons, vampires, werewolves, unicorns, elves... Heh, Moon Bay is really getting more and more lively."
He sighed softly, and Miss Danister looked at him with increasing worry:
"Are you sure you can really handle this matter?"
"Please rest assured, I know a very powerful friend—no, this time it's not a sorceress. He is one of the most professional demon hunters of our era, and the number of demons he has defeated so far exceeds 10. With that person's help, even if I fail this time, I won't be in danger. Of course, it's best if I succeed."
Miss Danister did not ask who that "demon hunter" was, but asked:
"Then I would like to care about your private life as your teacher: you spent such a great price and so much time helping Miss Xiang Jia, do you have feelings for her?"
Xia De widened his eyes:
"How could you think that? She is my friend, and she also helped me during the Randal Valley incident; you should remember that matter. Moreover, even if she were just a stranger, now that she is entangled by a demon, and I just happen to have a way to help, should I just stand by and watch?"
Miss Danister then nodded with satisfaction:
"Very good. Although I have never given you a course on ideological education, you have already received full marks in this course yourself. Then go ahead and do it, Xia De. I will investigate in the Academy which step of the process of arranging Miss Xiang Jia to go to Moon Bay went wrong, and as for you, no matter what happens afterward, please remember that I am standing behind you."
"Yes, Miss Danister, please wait for my good news."
