Chapter 2509: Miss Owl
Xia De comforted Miss Danister, and then showed her the notebook in his hand:
"Actually, being able to bring you back is not just my credit.
I also got a hint from the owner of this notebook. He or she lived in Room 321 and seemed to have accidentally gone to the winter of 1763 as well. Miss Danister, have you seen other time travelers in the past?"
The eighteen-year-old red-haired witch nodded subconsciously:
"Yes, it is..."
Thinking that the other party asked her to keep her identity secret, she didn't continue. But thinking that the person in front of her was her dear student, she felt that not giving an answer seemed a bit wrong.
The chubby round-faced owl flapped its wings a few times, and Miss Danister then said to Xia De:
"Yes, but can we talk about this tomorrow?"
She looked into Xia De's eyes and found that Xia De nodded as expected:
"Of course, I listen to you."
As he spoke, he handed the notebook to Miss Danister:
"Let's leave the broom closet now. Which room in the hotel are you staying in... wait a moment."
He looked at the cupboard that had one more use left, tried to throw out the canvas that wrapped the corpse just now, but unexpectedly found that he couldn't turn it into a toy:
"Can't transform? I'll find someone to build an identical cupboard first, and then move it away and replace it."
The room Miss Danister rented was 317, which was next door to this broom closet.
Leaving the dim broom closet made Xia De feel quite good, and although she successfully returned to her own time, Miss Danister's state looked very bad. Although she was not completely out of control like the man with severe burns on his face just now, Xia De had never seen the elements on her so chaotic.
When she was in the broom closet just now, she ignored her poor state because of the excitement of returning successfully. By the time she sat on the sofa in the room, she felt like she couldn't open her eyes in just a few seconds. The owl's state didn't look very good either. Fortunately, Xia De still had the No. 2 holy water given by Priest Ao Gu Si during the Battle of Moon Bay.
No. 2 holy water could almost be called a "panacea." Xia De fed the slightly diluted stock solution to the witch and the owl, and then rummaged through his pockets for the magic potion he carried to replenish mental strength.
And by the time Miss Danister felt a little better, a brilliant sunset had already appeared outside the window.
She lay on the sofa, leaning against the back of the sofa, covered with a blanket. A pile of reagent bottles were placed on the coffee table in front of her. When she opened her eyes, she saw the owl standing on the windowsill, looking like it was fine, while Xia De was brewing black tea on the side:
"Miss Danister, how do you feel now? I found that I actually have a talent for being a doctor."
She sat up slightly, breathing with some heavy breath, and tilted her head to look at the sunset outside the window. Although the window of this room couldn't see the full view of the Golden Music Hall, it was enough to see the evening night view of Vista City:
"It's not that you have a healing talent, it's that No. 2 holy water plus moonflower water is too effective."
Only after speaking did she feel that the sweat on her body made her clothes stick to her skin, and she even felt a little cold when blown by the evening wind of early autumn:
"It seems that I really came back. Xia De, I knew you would definitely come to find me."
Xia De poured two cups of tea and sat down beside her instead of on the single sofa on the side:
"Don't talk about that for now, let me help you check your body and soul. I want to determine what the situation of the time curse on you is."
The red-haired witch didn't want to let Xia De get close for a moment because she was "sloppy" at the moment, but looking at Xia De's serious expression as he turned his back to the sunset from the window, she pursed her lips and nodded:
"Okay, you know the mystery of time better than I do. What should I do?"
"Deep communication" through Xia De's perception was of course the most convenient way to check the soul. Xia De determined the secrets of the souls of Luweiya, Dorothy, and Princess Lei Qianya all through this. But he definitely couldn't do this to Miss Danister, so Xia De said:
"Sit still, I'll do it."
He pressed his finger on the witch's brow. The red-haired girl blushed for some reason. Her rose-red eyes looked at the serious face in front of her, but she dodged Xia De's gaze for some reason.
"Close your eyes."
Then Xia De pressed his finger on her eyelids. The eyes were the position closest to the soul. After doing this, Xia De held Miss Danister's hand, and this time he frowned for at least two minutes before letting go:
"The curse is rooted in the soul and body, as if your soul and body were born with such traces. Ordinary methods of dispelling curses are certainly useless for it, but the good news is that the curse effect really just solidified your time, fixing you at eighteen. And, this curse is far lighter than I imagined."
Compared with Luweiya's "time curse," the curse encountered by Miss Danister was the difference between Xia De and an ordinary ant. Of course, Xia De himself had also been cursed by time, but the curses he suffered were often "time keys are useless within a certain period of time," so it could not be compared with this incident.
"A bit troublesome, but definitely not unsolvable. Sorry, I think I have to go back and think of a way. Miss Danister, let's talk about anything tomorrow. You rest today. Looking at your appearance, it is not suitable for you to talk to me now."
He let go of Miss Danister's hand, remembered that there were still rubies left from the picnic by the river with Miss Feilian and Fiona last time, so he tidied up the coffee table, and then used 【Fiona's Housekeeping Servant】 to produce a coffee table of dinner:
"Don't worry, since the person is back, the rest are small things. You go to sleep after eating, or contact Saint Byron's, they are looking for you like crazy. I will come over tomorrow morning, and then we will talk about the situation here and the solution to the curse."
"Are you leaving?"
The red-haired girl asked, wanting him to stay for dinner, but saw Xia De pointing at the owl on the windowsill behind him, so she said with some disappointment:
"If it's convenient, bring me a few sets of clothes suitable for a girl of this age when you come tomorrow."
She would definitely not have this emotion when she was at the thirteenth ring. The extreme decline in power caused anxiety, and her long-standing trust in Xia De made her have thoughts that did not match her actual age at this moment. This was an eighteen-year-old's thought.
"Clothes, right? No problem."
Xia De nodded, took another look at the chubby round-faced owl, left the bottle of No. 2 holy water and the remaining moonflower water, and instructed her to take it twice more tonight, before pushing the door to say goodbye.
In fact, Xia De had clothes suitable for an eighteen-year-old girl in his pocket right now, but for the sake of his face, he didn't want to take them out immediately.
"See you tomorrow, Miss Danister."
"See you tomorrow, Xia De."
The door closed. After waiting for two seconds, the owl flapped its wings and flew to the door. After landing on the foot pad and stopping for a while, confirming that there was no one outside the door, it hopped and turned to the red-haired witch who looked a bit disappointed on the sofa and said:
"Danister, you are not only in appearance, but even in demeanor like a real eighteen-year-old girl now. If I hadn't heard you talk about this excellent student of yours countless times these days, looking at the interaction between you two just now, I almost thought he was your lover."
The girl on the sofa lifted the blanket on her body and looked at the dinner filled on the coffee table:
"Flora, why do you care about him so much? I remember you witches have a curse, right? When you were in contact with him, it seemed that there was no discomfort."
She asked the owl, and vaguely knew in her heart why the "God Caller" and those witches could be so close, and also understood why the 【Witch Council】 believed the "God Caller" was a woman.
The owl said immediately:
"Witches certainly have their own secrets, you don't fully understand us. But your student is indeed good, don't mind if I have dinner together?"
Gray-white mist rose around her, and in that mass of mist, a woman with gray long hair tied into a big braid walked out.
She looked to be in her twenties, and her black gauze dress was as formal as if she were going to a funeral. Her gray long hair was not the color of an old person, nor was it the completely gray-white of Sister Daifulin, but a mixture of blue-gray and black, as if she were prematurely aging due to genetic reasons.
She wore brown cloth boots with low heels on her feet, and her small face made her look even more petite than her actual age. Her elegant temperament and tall figure made even the eighteen-year-old Danister a little envious, but thinking of the curse suffered by witches in the rumors, she was not envious at all.
"Miss Owl" walked toward the sofa:
"I don't care about your student, I admit he is very handsome, but I like girls.
I just think your student is amazing. After all, I always thought the first one to find us would be my immediate boss."
"【Witch Council】 maybe just didn't realize you were missing. Now it has been four days since I went missing, and it has only been a week since you went missing. Time is not long. The month we lived together had imagined countless worse situations, and now it seems that things are far better than we expected."
Miss Danister reached out to take the knife and fork, with a very serious expression on her eighteen-year-old face:
"Although because of my student, the two of us successfully returned, but becoming like this, I don't know what to do next. The Vista Forest area must have a big problem. It's not just that the two of us accidentally traveled through time."
"What are you worried about? Your student said that you returned to eighteen because of a time curse, and it is forever eighteen. You are actually complaining about this kind of thing!" ===== CHAPTER 2510 =====
