Chapter 3071: Under the Library

Xia De and Miss Daniste didn't stay in the suburbs for too long, and after determining the current state of the tree, they prepared to go back:

"Are you really planning to go to Yuke Wood's office? This matter can actually be solved by the church alone. I have always disagreed with you taking the initiative to participate in matters related to demons."

She was a little disapproving of Xia De getting involved again, but Xia De thought he must go:

"Before the Battle of the Vesta Woodlands started, Wood knew that no matter what the result was, he would definitely not be able to go back. With the character of the Ancient One who almost calculated everything, he must have arranged things for himself after leaving in advance.

Since the traces of demons exist, it shows that he left them deliberately. No matter what his purpose is, I have to go and see. But you don't have to worry, I will call a suitable helper to go with me."

So the doctor probably still has to come to the Vesta Woodlands. As for when to investigate, it depends on when Xia De has time.

After returning to the Glory Messenger in the afternoon, Emilia and Miss Daniste prepared to pack their luggage and return to Saint Byrons. Both of them had their own rooms on the ship, and of course, they also had their own personal belongings. As for the team sent by the Academy to support the woods, they would withdraw one after another in the past two days. The finishing work of the Battle of the Woodlands belonged entirely to the Five Gods Church.

Hearing that Miss Daniste was leaving, the great witches also came to say goodbye. They were still very respectful of this Thirteenth-ring female Ringed Shushi, and maintaining a good relationship with Saint Byrons was good for everyone.

Galina, Vanessa, Megan, and Audrey obviously saw the relationship between the female Ringed Shushi and Xia De, but they all acted as if they knew nothing, and their acting skills were really very good.

Miss Ilesser also smiled and invited Miss Daniste to live on the ship again next time there is a big event. The librarian lady with rose-red eyes who had returned to her mature state also smiled and agreed.

"Daniste, remember to write to me."

Of all the people, only Flora behaved very strangely.

The artist lady was the one who had the best relationship with Daniste among the witches. At the beginning of the story, they were involved in the past time and space together and spent the winter; after the story started, they sat on the sofa again and watched Xia De go in and out of the hotel, spending the whole autumn together.

Xia De originally thought that the emotional artist would shed tears for this parting, but in fact, she didn't.

Flora seemed to be hiding from Daniste. When everyone came to say goodbye, she squeezed into the crowd and said a few words, but didn't intend to come to the front to hug and say goodbye.

Finally, Miss Daniste took the initiative to call her name, and Megan pushed Flora to the front.

The great witch with gray-black hair didn't dare to look up at her friend's eyes:

"Daniste, we must have many opportunities to meet again in the future. If I visit you in Saint Byrons, you will welcome me, right?"

"Of course, the scenery of the Jibei where the Academy is located will definitely bring you a lot of inspiration."

Although Daniste noticed the strangeness of the other party, she didn't think much about it because of the parting. She hugged Flora gently and smelled the smell of mineral pigments:

"Were you painting oil paintings just now?"

In Xia De's view, Flora at this moment was almost like wanting to turn into an owl and escape.

"Yes, painting a last painting for Xia De."

Flora said in a low voice, looking at Xia De as if asking him for help. And when Daniste went to say goodbye to Luvia and the others, Flora whispered to Xia De:

"Can you promise me one thing? I'll trade it for an oil painting. If one day Daniste wants to murder me, you must save me."

"Why would she want to murder you?"

Xia De felt strange about this, but he didn't expect that after he finished asking the question, Flora blushed, and didn't even dare to look at Xia De's face:

"This is for the pursuit of the most primitive and pure art, yes, for art! You take this, and give it to her when you finish sending her off and say goodbye to her. Remember, it must be when you say goodbye."

She stuffed the apology letter she wrote with her sincere apology into Xia De's hand, and then kissed Xia De on the cheek:

"Add a compliment, your figure is really good."

After saying that, she ran away, and Xia De held the letter feeling inexplicable. Seeing Dorothy covering her mouth and laughing very ladylike on the side, he asked:

"Do you know what this means?"

"I only know that a gentleman wouldn't open someone else's letter to peek, right?"

The writer lady asked with a smile, but she was looking forward to what would happen next.

Because Emilia wanted to say goodbye to the land-walking birds she had fed for a year near the treehouse, the final departure time was delayed by a few minutes. The witches liked the simple elf girl very much, and everyone gave her a hug before watching the three leave.

Of course, the cat was also on Xia De's shoulder.

This time returning to the Academy in the Jibei, Miss Daniste used the Keeper-level Relic 【Broken Promise Letter】. The Relic itself is an envelope, which can send anything to the designated location. The Academy suppressed its negative effect of causing space tearing by regularly giving human blood.

Xia De, Emilia, Miss Daniste, and Little Mia all put their fingers (claws) on the envelope. As the pencil wrote the location information of the Academy library on the surface of the envelope, the three disappeared together.

The space teleportation was just a moment, but the Outlander with excellent space talent felt that he had experienced a strange journey with bizarre scenery.

When his feet landed and he looked around, the huge astrolabe rotating slowly was above his head, and in front of him was Miss Daniste's "office", which was the coffee table, sofa, cabinets, and files piled up like a mountain in the center of the library. The bookshelves spread from this area to all parts of the library, and candles and candlesticks floated above the bookshelves to provide light.

It was incomparably quiet all around, and the slight sound of turning pages and footsteps in the distance had to be listened to carefully to hear.

The starlight on the arc-shaped ceiling flickered at the frequency of breathing, and people who had been waiting here took over the luggage of Emilia and Miss Daniste, and took away 【Broken Promise Letter】 to re-contain it. No one looked at Xia De during the whole process, as if he didn't exist.

"It feels so good to be back."

"Red Moon Witch" sighed softly and threw her hat onto the sofa. And Emilia took a deep breath, probably also missing life at the Academy. She grew up here after all.

"Then Xia De, can you feel the location of the entrance?"

Miss Daniste asked Xia De. Xia De touched the cat on his shoulder gently, narrowed his eyes, and concentrated his attention:

"I can sense it, it's very close to here... Does the library have an underground structure?"

"Yes, that is the Forbidden Book Area."

The female Ringed Shushi answered:

"In fact, the area of the underground Forbidden Book Area is much larger than the ground area of the library, and the space structure there is severely distorted and overlapped. Some places even I don't have the permission to enter.

That is the place where dangerous books and special Relics are stored by successive librarians since Miss Braine Orlanod. The Unknown-level Relic 【Old Sage's Staff】 gifted by the ancient god 【Gray-robed Sage】 is also underground."

Xia De didn't know much about the underground area:

"Emilia, have you been to the underground Forbidden Book Area?"

"I have been there. In order to complete the course paper, I would find a professor to sign a note to borrow books."

Emilia answered honestly, carefully looked at Miss Daniste, and then talked about the rumors of the Academy:

"Everyone says that the underground area of the library is more dangerous than the restricted area used by the Library Management Academy to contain Relics. The school rules clearly state that illegal entry into the underground area of the library will be subject to the strictest punishment."

"Expulsion?"

"No, execution directly. The last student who was so stupid and greedy appeared more than thirty years ago, when the teacher was still there."

Miss Daniste said, not delving into this topic, but confirming to Xia De:

"Is the entrance underground?"

"Yes, but it's not very far from the surface."

"That's good, let's go and see."

The entrance to the underground area of the Academy library does not exist in a fixed position. People with permission can enter from any position in the library.

Currently, five people have this special permission, including Miss Daniste, Principal Pigman, the Dean and Vice Dean of the Library Management Academy, and finally the Director of the Academy's Equipment Safety Management Office.

The last director is responsible for the Academy's hygiene, safety, and other work, and the "cleaners" under his command often carry out cleaning in two aspects.

And if the entrance of the 【Space Labyrinth】 in the Jibei is really in a special space underground, then Xia De's entrusting Emilia to find the entrance since the beginning of this year but never finding it, and even his visiting the library several times without sensing it, can be explained.

"Formally opening the door to the underground to walk through requires someone with permission to open the door. But if it's just to borrow a book from a certain place, then with my signed note, you can reach the fixed position underground directly from any bookshelf. After all, I don't have time to deal with small things like opening the door every time."

The red-haired female Ringed Shushi explained:

"We don't know the specific location this time, so I will formally open the door, and Emilia should be seeing it for the first time. After determining the location, Xia De, I will give you a stack of notes, and you can pass through by yourself."

"Miss Daniste, I..."

"Emilia, come to me when you want to go to Xia De's place or want to go to the woods, I will give you a note at a time. This is not distrusting you, I just don't want to break the management regulations of the library."

If it was just letting the elf return to the woods, she wouldn't care, but she wouldn't let Emilia go to Xia De's house at any time. ===== CHAPTER 3072 =====
