Chapter 2549: The Teacher's Teacher

~10 min read 1,940 words

"Is the professor going to Mount Karas?"

Xia De asked, and at this time the two had passed through the bookshelves and arrived at the lobby at the entrance of the library.

The tile floor presented a translucent form, with a flowing galaxy below. The Saint-Byron school emblem was hanging on the counter at the entrance borrowing office, but there was no library assistant on duty behind it, while students were reading quietly by the high bookshelves further back.

The red-haired girl stopped, and a confused expression appeared on her face again:

"Mount Karas?"

"Yes, don't you know this place name? No, Danister, you definitely know this place. After all, we agreed that one day we would go there together."

Xia De stared at her rose-red eyes, and a dazed expression appeared on the young female mage's face, which was very similar to when Xia De just woke up from the table.

"Yes, Mount Karas, how could I not know, teacher went to..."

But she shook her head violently, and pulled Xia De's hand again:

"Let's not talk about teacher's affairs first, let's go see the unicorns. Clearly a population in the academy, but they won't let us watch them casually. Let's go, let's go, other things we can talk about later, I must see unicorns today, if any of them are willing to carry me for a run, I will be happy for a whole year."

Saying this, she also pulled Xia De forcefully, but found that Xia De didn't move at all.

He continued to ask:

"Danister, I haven't asked, in 1821, how old are you actually?"

"What a strange question, I am of course..."

She closed her mouth violently, pursed her lips and looked at Xia De, and the dazed expression appeared on her face again. Xia De didn't urge her either, but waited for a few seconds, only then did he see the red-haired girl lose her hand and let go of his hand disappointedly:

"So it's an illusion, I thought I really returned to the age of still being in school... Xia De, you are really bad, if I didn't wake up on this question, you would know my age."

Xia De smiled with his lips pursed and said nothing, and the female mage didn't blame him either. Thinking of the conversation between the two just now, the eighteen-year-old girl felt her face flushed, fortunately Xia De didn't uninterestingly mention what happened just now.

So the female mage turned her head to look around to avoid Xia De's eyes:

"Saint-Byron's library, the library when I was a student.

Xia De, do you know, I have thought many times that one day I will wake up violently, friends at the desk will laugh at me for sleeping in class, and then ask me if the thesis I have to hand in next week is finished. And when I look out the window, what I see is the bright Saint-Byron, and the reflection of my young, carefree self."

"Everyone will miss the carefree life of studying at school, although you can't go back, at least the age is correct now."

Xia De placed his hand on her forehead:

"The time curse has signs of deepening, but it can't be seen from the appearance. What exactly is going on, what happened?"

The female mage finally looked at the surroundings with some nostalgia:

"Let's leave here first and talk."

"Do you have a way to crack this illusion?"

"Yes, I am very familiar with this relic, it is the angel-level relic 【Tree Shade Dream】 that teacher often carries with her when she goes out.

This is a rare concept-type relic, its source is an unknown person who took a nap under the shade of a tree. Later, this concept was fixed as a relic, leading to the extremely rare situation where people resting under a tree will fall into this illusion. This illusion is specifically generated for the emotions of nostalgia and sentimentality that people miss most, but that is also the thing they desire most in their hearts."

Her face was slightly red, she didn't continue to introduce but finished in a hurry:

"【Tree Shade Dream, a dream for a hundred years】, if you can't break free, your soul will wander in this dream forever."

She then used her fingers to move in the air, as if touching something invisible:

"The predecessors of Saint-Byron spent four generations a thousand years ago to materialize this concept-type relic and carry out containment. The materialized appearance now is a beige women's sun hat.

I won't go into the specific characteristics. It can arrange large-scale illusions as a defensive means in a certain area, and can also actively launch illusions against a certain individual. Although it is not an attack-type relic, it is actually not outstanding among angel-level relics, but this is also a genuine angel-level relic.

What we are in is the former, fortunately the relic is still in a state of containment, so no matter which kind of illusion it is, there is a method of forced lifting, which is a backdoor left by the academy."

She pressed her eyebrows lightly with her fingers:

"Forced lifting requires three conditions: completing the entrance ritual of the relic 【Saint-Byron's Dream】, being completely awake in the illusion, and falling from a high place."

After saying this, she held Xia De's hand again, left the building together across the library gate, and arrived at the square in front of the library in the night sky under the vast starry sky.

The deep night sky was falling with snowflakes, Xia De looked up at the three full moons, and then his body turned into a group of silver light.

The group of light became larger and larger, so that the position of Miss Danister, who was holding hands with Xia De, became higher and higher. Until the "Moonlight Dragon" appeared in the huge silver light group, the young female mage stood on the dragon head and flew higher and higher as the giant dragon flapped its wings.

She looked nostalgically at the scene of Saint-Byron in the snowy night below in the air, but could no longer remember which ordinary and peaceful night she spent here when she was still a student.

Until the giant dragon disappeared, Xia De held her hand and fell downward with her, Danister Gustav finally remembered that this was probably every peaceful and ordinary night she spent here when she was a student.

Bang!

During the falling process, the colors around changed constantly, and after a muffled sound, Xia De, who was falling in the previous second, opened his eyes, and the somewhat dazzling summer sunlight made him squint his eyes again.

In his ears were the sounds of insects and birds in the forest and the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops. Of course, the annoying cicada chirping brought more stereotypes about summer.

Xia De and the red-haired girl were sitting on the ground leaning against the big tree behind them holding hands at this time. But this was not Creekwood Town nor the abandoned logging yard where the "second tree hole" was located. When Xia De turned his head, he saw the "tree hole" at once.

This "tree hole" was a real tree hole. The big tree behind him looked exceptionally straight in the summer afternoon of 1821, and the tree hole that looked like it could only hold a head looked ordinary. The lush canopy cast mottled shadows, making Xia De and Miss Danister look colorful.

"In the summer of 1821, this tree had not yet been made into that wooden door in the logging yard."

Xia De sighed softly, and then looked at Miss Danister, who shook her head slightly:

"I'm fine, since I'm already here, can you let me stay here for a longer period of time?"

【This time travel is regarded as a normal travel using the 'twisted tree hole', and there are two and a half minutes left in the twenty minutes.】

"She" reminded softly in his ear, which means that even if Xia De was accidentally involved, as long as he wants to leave normally, he is still regarded as consuming one normal use opportunity of that wooden door.

"There are two and a half minutes left. Let's go, we can't stay here anymore, your curse will continue to worsen. Oh, speaking of which, did you and the owl hide from me and try to persuade that lady to do something?"

Xia De asked, seeing that the red-haired girl was still looking around stubbornly, he patted her shoulder:

"Let's go, Miss Danister."

The latter also knew that she had no time to find the teacher in this era, so she said "Hmm~", and then turned to look at the tree hole on the big tree. Therefore, she didn't see that although Xia De's left hand patted her shoulder, his right hand was inserted into his pocket and buckled the pocket watch:

"Adele's Time Stop!"

Click!

The sound of the pointer turning came from the void, and then Miss Danister, whose time resistance was almost negative, solidified in front of the tree.

"I'm really sorry."

Xia De apologized to her back softly, and then turned to face the summer woodland in the sun:

"Can you come out now? My time stop can't last for too long."

"Actually, I have always been here, but you didn't find it."

The slightly mature stranger's woman's voice appeared, and Xia De turned to look to the right.

At a position about ten meters away, a woman wearing a black dress was leaning against another tree with her back to him, so Xia De could only see her right shoulder that was not blocked by the tree trunk and the edge of the beige sun hat.

And before the other party spoke, he really didn't realize that there was still a person standing here. The other party was a genuine thirteen-ring.

"I'm curious, young man, how did you find me?"

The woman asked while looking up at the sun between the treetops, Xia De was too embarrassed to say that he just wanted to try his luck, even if there was no one here, it wouldn't be troublesome to lift the time stop.

"My perception is very strong... Good afternoon, lady, please allow me to greet you on behalf of Miss Danister."

He knew who this was, and the strange woman in the black dress sighed, and continued to ask in Delarion language:

"Young man, what is your relationship with Danister?"

"I am her student."

"I don't remember little Danister having any students when she was eighteen."

"She was cursed by time and became the current eighteen-year-old, actually she is now... alright, I don't know how old Miss Danister is this year, every time I ask, she will avoid the topic and get angry."

Because he couldn't see the other party's front, Xia De didn't know if the lady with her back to him showed a smile in the sun.

"So it's a time curse, this makes sense. Danister has also grown up, and has her own apprentice.

I was actually curious just now, whether Danister chose you as an apprentice because you look handsome, but now looking at your skilled time stop, I know she is still the serious and responsible girl in my impression... Can you let me see your moonlight?"

"Of course."

Xia De extended his right hand, and the silver ball of light floated in his palm, and flew toward the woman's direction as he pushed it lightly. ===== CHAPTER 2550 =====
