Chapter 3228

"These three steps sound more complicated than putting an elephant into an ice cellar."

Xia De said while looking down at the documents:

"I do have means to attack the soul, 【Soul Lash】 would work, right?"

"Of course it can."

The red-haired girl who turned back to eighteen years old thought of what happened not long ago:

"Megan and Audrey lied to me that this thaumaturgy is very good. I actually believed it in the dream of the past... They would actually feel excited because of that kind of pain."

"Megan and Audrey's situation is different, and we all agreed that we wouldn't tell anyone about your reaction at that time."

So he was pinched on the arm by the red-haired girl, and her angry look was actually quite good-looking.

As for extracting the spirit of the relic, this requires the cooperation of the hound that has merged with the relic on one hand, and requires corresponding means on the other.

Thaumaturgy or curses specifically used to absorb spirits do not exist. After all, spirits are not simple energy. Rashly absorbing spirits that do not belong to oneself, especially the spirits of relics, will only lead to loss of control or even self-destruction.

So this requires very professional relics to do this work. The characteristics of the relics ensure basic safety, and this containment record also wrote more than ten kinds of relics that can do similar things.

"These relics are currently not in St. Byrons because most of their uses are very narrow, so it is not easy to find them. Just wait a moment for the next use of the time key. I will find a suitable relic through the academy's channels."

But Xia De shook his head:

"No trouble, the poet-level relic 【Benevolent Doctor's Injection Needle】 (Chapter 2520) is in my hands. It seems my luck has been quite good recently."

This relic was purchased by Xia De from Old John after 【Blasphemous Cross】 was consumed in Moon Bay, and was later used to absorb divinity. Although it is only poet-level, its own effect is to absorb spirits, and its characteristics are very professionally matched.

"I'll confirm, for the sake of the mission, it is okay to carry relics back to the past, right? That hound said it knows the secret of 【Tombstone Wasteland】. I am also doing this to complete the mission of knowing the secrets of gods."

Xia De asked in his heart, not at ease. "Her" voice was still gentle:

【Yes, but except for responding to the mission, do not use it on other occasions.】

Then Xia De asked about the Fatumunster Snow Mountain, but the academy didn't know much about it. A few rare materials could be taken away by Xia De for viewing after being retrieved. According to the red-haired girl:

"That is a real countryside place, and it is separated from the academy by the entire Old Continent. The academy once had someone specifically study the formation of Star Fall Bay, but there really isn't much research on that island. After all, tribal people and worship of mountains, rivers, and forests are not hard to find elsewhere."

"Then what are the results of the research on Star Fall Bay?"

"That bay is highly likely to have really been hit by a 'star' that fell, but what exactly hit it, there is no result yet."

Amelia had classes in the morning and couldn't come over, and the relic fusion was still in progress, so Dannister invited Xia De, who had nothing to do, to walk around the academy:

"Last time we just walked around the library, where do you want to go this time?"

She held Xia De's arm in the posture of an eighteen-year-old and left the library with Xia De.

This time the two visited the main teaching building of the History Academy, which is also the "Museum" of St. Byrons Comprehensive Academy. The museum is located in the northwest of the core area of the academy city, covering a larger area than the library, and also has spatial anomaly characteristics inside.

Unlike the library managing books and relics, the academy museum mainly collects historical artifacts with high value, as well as special items involving time and space power.

High-risk collectibles and artifacts will of course not be exhibited to the public, but there are still many incredible things in the exhibition hall on the first floor that is open to the public. Although the red-haired witch is not from the History Academy, she can introduce the origin of the collections in each glass cabinet in great detail when leading Xia De on a tour.

However, when the two were visiting the museum of the History Academy, they happened to meet Professor Odias, the dean of the History Academy, and Professor Garcia, the vice dean, who were preparing to leave here together.

Professor Garcia is also an old acquaintance of Xia De. He recognized him immediately and was very curious about why Xia De appeared here. However, Professor Garcia is still relatively young, so he didn't see who the red-haired female student wearing a senior student uniform beside Xia De was.

But Professor Odias beside him was someone who became an academy teacher in the same era as Ms. Helena Carter. He was stunned and recognized Dannister. The old professor who was conducting time travel theory research in the morning felt as if time had really flowed back at this moment. He wanted to say hello, but immediately saw the eighteen-year-old girl signaling him with her eyes not to speak.

So the two sides met. Xia De and Professor Garcia chatted a few words, then passed each other and walked in different directions. It seemed that this was just a very ordinary meeting.

But after walking out of the museum, Professor Garcia asked his old dean curiously:

"Professor Odias, why didn't you speak just now? That young man is Xia De Hamilton. He greeted you, why did you just nod?"

Although the old man was old, his eyes were still very powerful. He shook his head at his former student and current colleague:

"I was afraid that if I opened my mouth, I would say something inappropriate... Just pretend I didn't see anything just now. Young people today are really amazing."

Xia De also stayed in the academy for lunch. Although the teachers of the academy have their own separate canteen, Dannister still led Xia De to dine in the student canteen, probably because it has more atmosphere.

When the two sat down on Amelia's left and right with trays, the little elf, who was talking to a classmate across the long table—a tall eighth-grade mermaid—looked left and right, and then was about to stand up from the stool like jumping, but was immediately pressed on the shoulders by Xia De and Miss Dannister, making her sit down again.

"Amelia, these two are..."

The mermaid girl across the table asked. The Eight-Ring mermaid has the ability to transform her fish tail into legs, so she doesn't need to ask a witch for help like in the story. Xia De could identify her race because she, like Miss Sandel whom Xia De met in the "Gravel Gold Sand Sea" at the beginning, had fish fin decorations behind her ears.

That girl looked particularly interested in Xia De and even winked at him. So Dannister poked Amelia under the table. Amelia, who was stunned by the sudden appearance of the two, then said:

"These are my friends from the History Academy and the Library Management Academy."

"Why haven't I heard you mention them before?"

So Amelia stammered and couldn't answer. But fortunately, the mermaid girl was soon called away by other friends, so only Amelia was left surrounded by Xia De and Dannister.

"I listened to the class well this morning, and didn't doze off once!"

She guaranteed this, making the red-haired girl cover her mouth and chuckle. She held Amelia's arm with some intimacy and teased:

"There are no teachers here, why are you saying this? Also, is this all you eat for lunch? Be careful not to grow tall in the future."

Xia De looked at Amelia's tray. The elf girl probably didn't have much appetite today, or intended to save her appetite for afternoon tea, so there were only a few fruits, vegetable salad, and a portion of corn chowder on the tray.

Seeing Xia De also cast a worried look at her, the little elf had to explain with a blushing face:

"I just... am losing weight. During the Year-End Festival, little Liana and I both ate too much. Recently, when Grandma and the others prepared dresses for me, they said the measurements taken before were a bit inappropriate... I am also just a little bit heavier than before, not very heavy."

She pinched her right thumb and index finger to gesture.

"Don't worry, anyway, I don't see any difference between you and before."

Xia De said with a smile, divided a fried egg from his tray and put it in front of Amelia, but the little elf thought about it again and again and refused. Amelia becoming a Chosen was not an accident, at least she has always done very well in terms of "self-discipline".

However, Amelia becoming a Chosen and doing such amazing things in Vesta Forest did not spread much in the academy. Who the Chosen of Time is is not a secret among the five major sects, three major academies, or other Ringed Shushi organizations, but it is limited to the high-level knowledge, so Amelia's academy life did not change much compared to before.

If there is the biggest change, it is probably that she finally applied for a separate luxury personal dormitory. This dormitory not only has an independent bathroom, study, and dressing room, but even allows little Liana to move in. However, little unicorn still lives with her group most of the time, so Amelia has to enjoy the treatment of a personal luxury dormitory alone.

She has no classes in the first and second periods in the afternoon, so after hearing that Xia De would not leave until evening at lunch, she joined Xia De's St. Byrons tour.

However, the itinerary after lunch was not in the core area of the academy city. The three passed through the teleportation array to the southern forest area of the academy, where the elf living area of the academy is.

Xia De spent more than an hour in the afternoon learning about the arrangements for Amelia's "Coronation Ceremony" from Grandma Qishala and several other elf elders who had returned to the academy.

Now that the elf clans have signed the covenant, the ceremony is scheduled to be held before spring arrives. As for the location selection, the position initially selected was in front of the "Crystal Throne", but later the diviners of the elf race raised objections:

"The tree gave inspiration. The re-alliance of the elf race after ten thousand years is a big event, and we must consider not only the tree elves but also the thoughts of the moon elves. So the coronation of the new generation of Elf King must be held in the land of fate."
