Chapter 2736: [Blade Without Edge]

After finishing speaking, Miss Danister patted the sofa beside her again:

"What are you standing there for? Sit down and talk."

"Are we not returning to Vesta City now?"

Xia De asked, so the red-haired girl pretended to be angry:

"Why, don't you like going out with me so much? Since we are back at the Academy, naturally we won't leave immediately."

She saw Xia De sit down beside her again before continuing:

"Drink this cup of tea first, and then wait for me to get a relic.

Regarding the demon, the Academy doesn't have any good methods here either. Researching demons and tracing the history of demons may attract their gaze, so the few projects in the Academy related to those evil spirits are probably not as useful as our own investigation in Vesta City.

But the Witcher inheritance you and Jia Lin Na mentioned today reminded me of some things. The hunters of the Third Era left behind many good things, and the Academy collected some useful equipment among them.

There is a relic I have been hesitating whether to give to you, but since your encounter with the demon seems unavoidable, then I won't worry."

She didn't go to get the relic herself, but sat with Xia De and continued to drink tea and chat. A full twenty minutes later, two girls who looked less than 1.3 meters tall and wore Academy seventh-grade uniform robes carried a heavy wooden box over.

The two looked almost exactly the same and should be twins:

"Professor Danister, we have brought the relic."

The two placed the wooden box on the coffee table and left after letting Miss Danister sign the order.

Miss Danister didn't forget to tell Xia De:

"This is the halfling Taya sisters of the Library Management Academy, the student union presidents of our major."

"Can the student union president be two people?"

Xia De asked curiously, and the female sorceress shook her head with a smile:

"Of course not, but people always can't distinguish them well—this is their talent, and they are also very happy to exchange identities, so everyone defaulted to them both being student union presidents in the end.

Okay, let's not talk about this, open it and see."

The long, thin wooden box contained straw, and in the straw was a square, rough gray stone, and a scabbard was embedded in the stone.

The scabbard looked like it was made of metal, pitch black. After Xia De took it out, he felt its weight was even more exaggerated than it looked:

"The density is so high, what kind of metal is this?"

There were almost no decorative patterns on the scabbard, only the same engraved patterns as on the 【Witcher Seal】 near the bottom, while the surface of the scabbard was composed of some shallow white traces to form a short sentence:

【Hide the sword here, draw it when encountering a demon.】

Xia De liked this at first glance.

"Keeper-level relic 【Blade Without Edge】. Yes, don't look at its shape as a scabbard; in fact, it can be used as a sword, just because of the length, it won't be very smooth to use. The Academy had already collected this relic in the Fifth Era and researched it thoroughly.

Simply put, if this scabbard is used as a weapon, it has an extraordinary damage effect on those ancient evil spirit demons; any sword-type weapon can be placed into this scabbard, and after more than twenty-four hours, it can possess a special damage effect on demons for a period of time; finally, after any sword-type weapon is placed into this scabbard, it will appear plain and unremarkable."

She clearly wanted to focus on the third characteristic, although this characteristic was not powerful compared to the first two:

"This allows this scabbard to contain some dangerous sword-type weapons, even angel-level ones can be contained. But for you, if you put your 【Night Watcher】 into it, you can perfectly hide its whisper elements."

Xia De was still fiddling with the scabbard; he really liked this relic:

"The whisper elements of the scabbard itself are not strong. Although the pattern on the surface is easy to be recognized, it is not a problem to disguise it slightly... Very good, this relic is very good."

The red-haired girl showed a smile:

"I knew you would say that. But this relic itself has problems. This is one of the inheritances of the Witcher. If you possess it, it means that the path of inheritance has unfolded to you.

Although this doesn't mean you will definitely be able to become a Witcher, the probability of encountering demons in the future will definitely increase greatly. I was worried about your safety before and didn't want to mention this relic to you, but looking at your performance in Vesta City, I probably understand that you are walking faster than I thought."

After speaking, she couldn't help but sigh:

"I finally made up my mind to accept an apprentice, and now I haven't felt the fun of being a teacher, and you are already more powerful than me."

"I am far worse than you."

Xia De corrected immediately, but Miss Danister shook her head:

"Looking at your current progress, the 9th ring is probably not far away... Keep the scabbard well. Your status as a board member will not be exposed according to your wishes for the time being. This is a gift I bought from the Academy for you."

"How can this be?"

Xia De looked at her all of a sudden:

"How can I spend your money?"

"I am your teacher, what's wrong with using my money to find a suitable scabbard for your long sword?"

After saying this, she tilted her head again, feeling that this way of saying it was not very suitable:

"If Jia Lin Na gave you something, would you refuse like this?"

"This..."

Xia De thought about it. If it was Jia Lin Na's gift, although he would decline it, he would definitely accept it in the end.

"Look, I clearly knew you earlier, but you think that beautiful witch is closer to you."

She shook her head, her rose-red eyes looking at Xia De, and her voice became slightly lighter:

"So, you will accept this scabbard, right?"

"Yes, I accept it."

Only then did she stand up with satisfaction and walk forward a few steps:

"You are right to say so. Let's go, let's go back. Or..."

She put her hands behind her back and turned to look at Xia De with a smile again:

"Do you still want to walk around the Academy with me? Anyway, there is nothing to do tonight. I will take you to visit the Academy. As for Jia Lin Na, she probably won't mind if we go back a little later."

The two stayed at the Academy until nine o'clock that night. They said they were visiting the school, but in fact, they were always in the library. After all, this library was big enough, and her current state was not suitable for appearing in front of too many people.

However, Miss Danister promised Xia De that after the matter in the Vesta Woodland ended, she would take him to visit St. Byrons for real:

"As long as you have time, and the girls in your house have no opinion."

This was what the girl who had recovered to the appearance of eighteen said when the two were preparing to return to the Accordion Hotel from the Academy. Xia De didn't hear the meaning at first, but when he threw the crystal shoe and appeared on the first floor of his home, bending down to pick up Little Mia, he thought that this seemed to be satirizing his emotional life again.

But regardless, another troublesome day ended. Returning to the familiar home and taking a deep breath, it seemed that all the troubles disappeared without a trace at this moment.

This is probably the meaning of home.

When Xia De came to the second floor of his home holding the 【Night Watcher】 inserted into the scabbard, he found that only Lu Lu Weiya was at home tonight. She seemed to have returned home very early, and was writing a report in the study when Xia De came to the second floor.

"Look at this scabbard, it's a gift from Miss Danister."

He didn't forget to show off to Lu Lu Weiya:

"How is it, can you still feel the elements of 【Night Watcher】 now?"

Lu Lu Weiya, who walked out of the study, didn't even look at what Xia De was holding, but leaned against the wall and said:

"Tell me about today's events. I always feel that you are very busy today."

Today indeed many things happened, from the "Ghost of Resentment" in the deserted village to Sister Daifulin in death, from the investigation of the demon involving the herbal company, to going to St. Byrons tonight to see Emilia.

After Xia De finished talking about these, Lu Lu Weiya frowned:

"I don't know the real reason why you and the doctor are always concerned about demons. Maybe there is really a tree hole in the hands of the demon in the woodland, but compared to the War of the Chosen, these are all irrelevant things.

Before Emilia goes to the woodland, Xia De, I hope you can solve this troublesome matter with the doctor as soon as possible and don't waste too much time on this. I have already discussed with Lei Qianya that I will ask for leave under the excuse of being seconded by the royal family and go to the woodland with the witches to meet you."

Xia De also became serious. Lu Lu Weiya was right; his main task in the Vesta Woodland was the Chosen of Time:

"The demon may have four split bodies, and we must defeat them all to count as victory. Now I have found two of them, and two remain."

"Is the fire you mentioned last time that the demon split out, the one you and the witch got, still at home?"

Lu Lu Weiya asked again, and Xia De nodded immediately:

"Still there, in the lantern. I originally prepared to let Sister Daifulin help deal with it."

"Good, take it out. I will help you divine the location of the remaining two clones of the demon. Don't let this matter continue to take up too much of your energy."

Even the cat standing on Xia De's shoulder found that he didn't move immediately. Xia De was a little hesitant:

"Lu Lu Weiya, are you sure you want to divine the demon?"

The purple eyes looked at him, and there was clearly a smile in her eyes:

"I know what you are worried about, but I had some feelings when I divined the stars this autumn, and I always feel the traces of fate in my dreams recently. Plus, tonight is one of the brightest nights of the starry sky in a year, so I will try to use the starry sky as the trajectory of the ritual to try to capture the traces of the demon."

Only then did Xia De nod:

"That's good, where to conduct the divination? If it is divination using the starry sky, it shouldn't be inside the house, right?" ===== CHAPTER 2737 =====
