Chapter 2665

The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl reminded:

"Although I also think that what Miss Bell saw might be the biggest enemy we face this time, the premise is that there will be no more terrible things in this forest..."

She shook her head violently, and the witch asked Xia De, who was slowly grabbing the cat's head;

"Speaking of which, your essence is about to run out."

She pointed to the almost empty small bottle placed on the coffee table:

"Since it is a relic derivative, the essence in this bottle should be able to be replenished, right? What do I need to do? Can we help? This bottle is very important for the current action. While the next enemy hasn't appeared yet, let's replenish it first."

"She" in his ear laughed softly, and Xia De turned his head subconsciously:

"This doesn't need your help. I will find a way myself after I go home."

"Xia De, do you still want to be polite to us at this time?"

So Miss Winslet said somewhat angrily, and the red-haired girl, who probably guessed something, didn't speak, but also pretended to look at Xia De curiously.

Xia De opened his mouth and finally had to say:

"This bottle can spontaneously transform the 'desire' around it into perfume, and, um... at present, I feel that the effect of lust is the best."

The witch's face turned red immediately. Even if she was bold, she was embarrassed to say "I'll help you" at this time.

Because of the chaos in the room this morning, Xia De did not visit the old professor mentioned by Margaret. Miss Bell was still recovering, Xia De also had to clean up the mess in the room, and the two ladies were asking the Council and the Academy for relevant news respectively.

And although they didn't leave the hotel, the girls responsible for collecting news in the city were still working.

A medium-sized news came before lunch. The news that the Bronte family was searched and arrested by the church had not been reported, but it was known to everyone in the city, and York Bronte was considered the core figure of this incident, and there were even rumors that he had been shot dead.

Therefore, Miss Linda Bennett, the third daughter of the Bennett family, tried to commit suicide for love at home this morning. She used the method of hanging, but fortunately, this kind of rich lady had no suicide experience, so she was rescued by the maid in the house in time.

This kind of secret thing shouldn't have been spread outside, but after being rescued by the maid, Mrs. Bennett, who rushed home, scolded her daughter. So Miss Bennett ran to the roof of her own mansion and jumped down under the witness of at least ten passersby.

Although she was lucky enough to hang on a tree in the courtyard and only had slight abrasions and soft tissue contusions, this shocking scene was still passed around as the second news after the big news of the Bronte family.

In such a small city, things like "suicide for love" should have become a fresh topic for several weeks, but because the Bronte family's affairs were too shocking, Miss Bennett's affairs were destined to become a footnote to the big news of this autumn.

Of course, maybe someone would say that Miss Linda Bennett is a person who is very loyal to love, but at least Miss Winslet still thinks this is a silly girl.

"Flora, I remember you told me that young girls are always easily deceived by men who look handsome and mysterious. Miss Bennett is a good example."

The red-haired girl at the dining table said so, and the witch just wanted to nod, but immediately realized that she was talking about herself:

"Our situation is different."

She glanced at Xia De with a knife and fork:

"Miss Linda Bennett fell in love with a man she didn't understand at all, but hasn't Xia De's safety been verified by Galina and the princesses of the two countries?"

She always has a very magical way of thinking about some things, but at least what she said is indeed very reasonable.

The gloomy sky began to drizzle again in the afternoon, but the rain was very small, so Miss Owl thought that flying out like this didn't need to worry about wetting her feathers.

The search and investigation work of the Bronte family was carried out by the church. What Xia De had to do in the afternoon was to meet the old professor who had participated in the construction process of the Golden Music Hall.

Although Miss Owl wanted to go with Xia De, she stayed behind to take care of her apprentice:

"You two go. I'm still worried about Charlotte's situation. Although the check showed that she was fine, I don't think I can leave her today."

"Do you want to try that Sage-level relic 【Soul Gem】?"

Xia De suggested actively, but was immediately rejected. The great witch of death belongs to those who hold a "very cautious" attitude toward relics. She would never use relics in occasions where she could not use them.

So the two who went out together this afternoon became Xia De and Miss Danister. When walking out of the hotel with an umbrella, Xia De looked back at the window upstairs with worry. He was also a little worried about Miss Bell's situation.

After they got on the carriage, the red-haired girl said:

"Flora already suspects that you are a God-Caller."

"Aren't you also suspecting?"

Xia De asked, so the eighteen-year-old girl laughed:

"Do you know? I used to sit alone in the Academy library, guessing what means you used to deceive so many girls without causing a war between them. Now I almost understand... it's that they are a bit too unreserved."

"Is this your compliment to me?"

She narrowed her eyes because of the smile:

"Xia De, don't use this method on me."

"Sorry, what?"

He asked with a smile.

"Well, I must admit that some things in this world are just so unreasonable."

The professor Quintu, who retired from the Tower Gate Bridge History Academy, investigated by Margaret, currently lives in an apartment in the southeast of Vista City with his wife. Their children all work in Willendale, and the retired history professor's pension is quite generous, so they can spend their old age in this city surrounded by forests.

Although today is Sunday, when Xia De and Miss Danister visited, Professor Quintu was unfortunately not at home. Of course, this also has the reason that their visit was not scheduled in advance.

However, fortunately, Professor Quintu's wife was still at home. After hearing that the two were researchers visiting Willendale from Tobesk, she asked them to go to the Golden Music Hall to find Professor Quintu:

"He still thinks about finding things for himself to do after retirement. Now he is still serving as a guest researcher at the museum. He went to the museum of the Golden Music Hall early in the morning, and he should still be there now."

Therefore, the two had to return the same way, but fortunately, they had many topics to talk about on the way. Speaking of which, although Xia De had arrived in the local area for nearly a month, this was the first time he entered the museum of the Golden Music Hall.

The museum of course requires tickets, but fortunately, compared to the tickets for the performance hall, the price of museum tickets is not expensive. Although Xia De had the heart to look around the museum, he still remembered the most important thing.

The arrow needed by the elf girl was unearthed from this ancient temple of the Tree Father, and combined with the terrible things that might exist locally learned this morning, knowing the original appearance of this temple became particularly important.

Of course, it is impossible for the Five Gods Church not to know that the Golden Music Hall was originally an ancient temple. But it is a pity that it seems that this temple belongs to the "Infinite Tree Father" is a secret only known to the elf girl, so the church's investigation has not yet reached Professor Quintu.

Margaret provided Xia De with documents to prove that Xia De was a young scholar visiting Willendale from Tobesk, and the eighteen-year-old Miss Danister acted as Xia De's "student" and "assistant" because she was too young... so at least the identities of the two were reversed this afternoon.

They easily met Professor Quintu. The old professor's age looked even older than Professor Manning. When he saw Xia De and the other, he smiled and said that historical research now needs more young people like them to participate.

And when Xia De explained his purpose and mentioned that the original site of the Golden Music Hall was an ancient temple, Professor Quintu was in the museum's reception room holding a teacup, with an expression of recalling the past:

"That was nearly half a century ago. At that time, I was still very young, as young as your student, and I was lucky enough to come to the then Creekwood Town with my mentor who had passed away thirty years ago."

"The city at that time was not so big, let alone so prosperous. The hotel we stayed in the town that year... Oh, sorry, old people always like to talk about the past. Let's get back to the point."

He looked around the room:

"I need to point out that the area of the current Golden Music Hall is larger than the temple at that time. The buildings on the periphery of the music hall were built from outside the temple. The temple at that time, centered on the main hall of the current music hall, was roughly square."

When I came here with my mentor and the others that year, the construction was already underway. The development level of cameras at that time was quite backward, so the original appearance of the temple could not be left with photos, but the construction team had a construction sketch of the temple that year. It is in the museum, and you can go and see it yourself in a while."

Xia De signaled the "assistant" on the side to record these contents, and the latter took a notebook and a fountain pen.

"Then Professor, did your and your mentor's investigation determine which god this temple belonged to?"

The old professor shook his head regretfully:

"No, we just found many runes and murals with the theme of 'trees', so this is probably a niche belief in the ancient period of Vista Forest, representing the worship of forests and nature. However, considering the scale of the temple, there should have been a large settlement centered on the ancient Creekwood Town, and the numerous ancient ruins unearthed locally should all be related to that settlement."

"You should understand that people who rely on mountains worship mountains, and people who rely on the sea worship the sea. This is a very common natural worship."
