Chapter 4161

The area outlined by the fiery red lines was in the shape of a tree hole, but the tree hole did not open immediately. After Xia De moved his palm away, little stars lit up in the black area surrounded by the fiery red lines.

"This is..."

Daniste stepped forward to check and recorded the star map before the tree hole traces completely disappeared:

"It should be here. The starlight appearing on the tree hole is a time lock; only when the stars reach the appropriate position can this tree hole truly open after it appears. Miss Feilian and the others, this is to worry about someone finding this place many years in advance."

Emilia then asked:

"But isn't it already the appropriate time now? When will that time lock be unlocked? Did Miss Feilian specify the unlocking time to a certain day?"

"No, no, the stars are in the appropriate position for the next ten years, but because of the changes in the starry sky, we still need to wait for a specific moon phase."

The red-haired female spellcaster in the appearance of eighteen years old looked up at the three moons, and calculated the time after more than ten seconds:

"It seems we are lucky. Today is Monday, it seems we can open this tree hole on Thursday night. By then, Xia De will use the imprint to reveal the tree hole again, and I will guide the moonlight to illuminate the area on that tree bark, and we will be able to find the teacher back."

She was full of smiles, and even Ellie could see that her mood was very good at this moment.

Emilia also laughed and said:

"So the matter is solved, right? It's even smoother than I thought. We only sent away that egg in the morning, and we found clues in the evening. Miss Feilian and the others really have ingenuity, this hiding method is very good."

But when the smiling Daniste looked at that tree again, she realized one thing:

"The area of the tree hole is wrong."

"What?"

"Unless the space inside the tree hole is much larger than the entrance, it cannot hide a person, at most it can only hide an egg."

Her face changed again:

"Did the egg not successfully hatch in the Fifth Era?"

Xia De put his hand on the female spellcaster's shoulder:

"I have some ideas. We have proposed a hypothesis before that the Moon Egg is also a dragon egg; its hatching requires time, and even more requires life force. Now it has returned from thousands of years ago, time is available; it has accompanied that source of fire for such a long time, and life force is also available."

Xia De paused for a moment:

"Maybe the Moon Egg did not fail to hatch, but Miss Feilian and the others left the last step to us."

Daniste thought for a while:

"I remember that the time and space inside the tree hole are completely static."

Emilia had a different view:

"Since Miss Feilian and the others can change the way of opening the tree hole, changing the flow of time inside should not be a difficult matter either. After all, making time static is difficult, but making time flow normally is slightly simpler."

Daniste then nodded gently and looked at the tree full of hope:

"Yes, no matter what, as long as I wait until Thursday, I will be able to see the teacher again. This time of separation is even shorter than I thought."

Xia De asked:

"These two days, you won't want to guard here all night, right?"

"Of course not."

Daniste shook her head:

"However, for the sake of safety, I want to apply for temporary protection for this tree, at least to prevent those naughty students from approaching this tree before Thursday night."

Daniste had high execution power. She let Emilia take Xia De for a walk around nearby, and then hurried back to her high tower to change clothes, planning to set off to see Principal Pigman.

Seeing Daniste leave, the little elf with pointed ears suddenly had "bad" intentions. However, she still remembered that Ellie was still by her side, so she said to her unicorn friend:

"Ellie, it's getting late, I remember you still have to go to morning class with Little Liana and the others tomorrow morning. The matter here is roughly over, you go back first."

But the white-haired young lady standing beside Xia De shook her head:

"No, stay, watch Xia De."

Xia De asked:

"Ellie, why do you want to watch me?"

The unicorn young lady then told the truth:

"Because you are a unicorn cub, I am an adult unicorn, I want to protect you."

Saying this, she also proudly puffed out her chest. The little elf with golden hair found confidence from her; after all, most Witches put too much pressure on young ladies who have just grown up. But Emilia asked in confusion:

"I have been curious since Xia De went to the unicorn habitat yesterday and was surrounded by you, why do you all think he is a unicorn cub?"

"She" on the ear laughed softly, probably also thinking this topic was very interesting. Ellie frowned slightly, as if she didn't understand this question:

"A unicorn cub is a unicorn cub, Xia De is a unicorn cub!"

She rarely said such a long paragraph of words. Although Ellie's human common language is already very good now, the unicorn young lady likes that way of expressing word by word.

Emilia knew she couldn't get the answer, so she persuaded again:

"I will protect Xia De, Ellie, don't you trust me yet?"

Ellie looked at Emilia suspiciously:

"Emilia, do you have bad intentions?"

"No!"

The little elf immediately guaranteed, Ellie blinked her eyes:

"Okay, Emilia protects Xia De... don't have bad intentions~"

"Got it, Ellie. Then are you returning to the dormitory or returning to the unicorn habitat?"

"Habitat!"

"We will send you to the teleportation array side. Really, Ellie, we are good friends, how can you doubt me?"

Very coincidentally, the three of them bumped into the little unicorns who had just finished their night experimental class when they were about to walk to the teleportation area. Ellie then left with them. After Emilia waved goodbye to Little Liana and watched everyone disappear together, she looked at Xia De with some expectation.

Xia De had understood Emilia's plan since just now, he nodded gently:

"Then before Daniste comes back, let's find a place to sit for a while."

"Follow me, I know a place that is very suitable."

Emilia used to often see senior male and female students dating all over the academy. At that time, the little elf only wanted to have big adventures with Little Liana, so she didn't look down on their behavior of "wasting time" at all.

As for now, the grown-up elf young lady also wants to enjoy the sweet taste of love in the academy.

(Little Mia is running...)

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xia De and Daniste returned to No. 6 St. Derand Square together. When Emilia was seen kissing Xia De by Daniste just now, she ran away like a short-eared rabbit with a blushing face. When Xia De returned home and saw Little Mia jumping to welcome him, he was still thinking about Emilia's shyness just now.

Luweiya was wearing a nightgown and leaning on the sofa reading a book. Hearing the footsteps, she got up to welcome them.

She looked at the expressions of the two and said very affirmatively:

"So, things went very smoothly?"

"Yes, the location has been found, we just need to wait until Thursday to open the tree hole."

Daniste said happily. She had already applied for protection for that Dragon Blood Tree. Now the middle position of the central courtyard of the academy castle is completely closed. In addition to setting up fences, Daniste personally cast spells to ensure that not even a bird or a cat could get close to that tree.

However, she had already moved the bird's nest on the tree away in advance. As for the lazy cats in the academy, Daniste believed they would find other areas to play.

"It's good that it's smooth. In this way, Xia De's second source of fire can also be obtained. Many secret methods in that 'Source of Fire Secret Art' are very interesting. I was just thinking that if you really couldn't find it, I could perform another divination."

Luweiya gently hugged Xia De, and then unexpectedly discovered that he had the unique body fragrance of Emilia on him. Luweiya's mouth curled into a smile, but she didn't expose Xia De:

"Then go wash up, and tell me how you found it. Miss Feilian must have given a very clever puzzle, just like the power she left for Xia De in that 'Dream of St. Byrons' initially."

The nightlife at No. 6 St. Derand Square is always quite rich and colorful, and tonight is naturally the same. Daniste had been under a lot of pressure because of the Moon Egg recently, and this time it could be considered an opportunity to relieve some pressure.

She also brought that set of academy uniforms. During the night activities, she and Luweiya cooperated very cleverly, and even Luweiya could feel that she was really quite happy tonight. It seemed to be a night for three people, but because Daniste could switch between her original age and eighteen at will, sometimes it felt like a night for four people.

Luweiya envied this ability, or rather, most of the young ladies in the family envied it:

"The age of eighteen, youthful and beautiful. The miracle of reversing age was eventually only obtained by you and Emilia. Flora still complains to this day that what she obtained was only the owl's original form."

Daniste laughed softly:

"Luweiya, your age is actually not big either. Isn't twenty-something also the most youthful and beautiful age for young ladies?"

She held Xia De's head in her arms and told interesting stories to Luweiya, who was busy behind Xia De:

"Speaking of which, when I was active in the unicorn habitat these two days, those little unicorn young ladies all said that Xia De is a unicorn cub. Look at now, Xia De sometimes really has a childlike heart."

Afterwards, Daniste saw Luweiya's expression across Xia De and suddenly realized something. Both of them knew a certain fact that could not be said, so their movements paused for a moment, and then they pretended to know nothing and never discussed this topic again.

Time came to Tuesday. Early in the morning, Winnie came to the house again to prepare breakfast. Daniste played a bit too much last night. When she was woken up by Xia De to eat breakfast in a daze, she remembered that she had an early class at eight o'clock, and it was a joint public lecture between the Library Management Academy and the History Academy:

"I won't eat at home, Xia De, don't forget to come find me on Thursday evening!"

She hurriedly washed up and was about to leave. Winnie handed her the prepared bread, and the administrator Miss thanked Winnie with a smile again before running towards downstairs.

The Divination Association doesn't need to go to work so early, so Luweiya was not in a hurry to leave:

"Then Xia De, what is your plan for today?"

"First go to Vego's side in a while to continue purifying her sister. If there is nothing else, today is the Red Butterfly Day for Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy. We have already agreed to read books together and read through all the materials Miss Feilian left for me, as well as the materials given by the Pseudo-human and Desire."
