Chapter 705
Miss Lei Qianya smiled and reached into the ice coffin, touching her student's cheek, her fingers sliding across her lips:
"This student of mine is really not worry-free; when the blizzard turned into black snow, we were outside looking for other entrances to the library. I had erected a barrier to block the black snowflakes at that time, but she just had to wag her tail..."
The smile on her face became even more obvious:
"Xia De, when I cast a barrier, I don't calculate the length of a tail."
This description was very vivid.
Miss Lei Qianya patted her own forehead, sighing at her apprentice's lack of worry. Miss Beiya, wearing round-rimmed glasses, smiled and reached out, picking up that tail that looked soft and limp, pointing to the black spot at the tip of the tail:
"Look, it's right here; this young girl unfortunately came into contact with the black snow. Fortunately, the red dragon bloodline endowed her with power surpassing humans, so the rescue was timely, and I used the Zhalas Academy's secret technique 【Sleeping Ice Coffin】 to temporarily seal her. Only after leaving here can she be awakened."
Saying this, she put down the tail and signaled Xia De to cover the ice coffin.
"Oh, so she was just asleep."
Xia De was finally relieved; it sounded like this ice coffin secret technique was even stronger than his 【False Immortality】. After all, False Immortality has a duration, but the ice coffin can exist for a long time.
Carefully covering the ice coffin, the three returned to the campfire and sat down. Xia De was still sitting in a position with his back to the black snow outside the door, while the other two witches avoided the pile of old books where the shrine was placed; there were more of them than when Xia De came last time.
"May I ask, how long have I been away?"
Xia De said while unbuttoning his bulky coat. After taking off the heavy coat, he first reached out to warm himself by the bonfire, then took out small toys from the inner coat pocket.
To facilitate Xia De's transport, the supplies prepared by Miss Miss Jia Lin Na were placed in wooden boxes, and Xia De could turn them into toys by covering them with canvas. As for the canvas, after being folded, it also turned into toys.
"Like the Forest of a Thousand Trees, the time and space here are not uniformly continuous."
Miss Lei Qianya said:
"Sometimes you just close your eyes to rest for a while, and when you open them, you feel like a long time has passed."
"Chaotic time and space are also the norm for such places; the Academy has specialized research on this."
Miss Beiya, wearing round-rimmed glasses, also said, then stood up to look at the boxes Xia De had taken out. As the only thirteenth-tier witch in the team, Miss Lei Qianya did not move and continued to talk with Xia De:
"Except for this god's mission."
She carefully glanced at the shrine:
"We came here with our own mission as well. Every book scattered in the ruins of this library will have a significant impact on the research of the ancient era; if Teacher Feilianna didn't have more important things to do, this adventure should have been led by her."
Xia De subconsciously wanted to ask what the so-called "more important things" were, but felt that in the past time and space, it was better to interfere as little as possible in things he shouldn't know.
"Oh, these aren't cheap, right?"
A voice came from beside him; Miss Beiya was touching the fabric of a hooded robe:
"Look, although it's not Eris silkworm silk, it's definitely not ordinary fabric either."
This made Miss Lei Qianya beside the bonfire frown slightly:
"Xia De, how much money did you spend?"
"Didn't spend any money."
Xia De said immediately:
"It was sponsored by the witches of my era; she said she admired you very much."
His right hand hooked toward the flames, using the power of the spell 【Flame Shaping】 to make a distant view of Miss Miss Jia Lin Na's luxurious manor appear in the fire:
"The witches of my era are quite wealthy."
"Then, have you slept with them?"
Miss Beiya joked with a smile, took out a pair of boots, and then muttered:
"Look, the style of these boots is really nice. It's just unexpected that your era still has witc..."
The words were only half-spoken when Miss Beiya froze in place as if struck by lightning. Subsequently, the boots in her hand fell back into the box, and she herself had blood with a slight golden luster overflowing from the corners of her eyes, mouth, and nose. Behind her, the eleventh-tier golden staircase automatically emerged, but the staircase was flickering, and cracks were spreading on its surface.
"Don't the witches of the Zhalas Academy take the course on 'Time Stability Theory'? She actually dares to probe into future events."
Miss Lei Qianya said helplessly and somewhat angrily, standing up and walking quickly to Miss Beiya's side.
"She is about to lose control, Xia De, stabilize the time."
"Witches can lose control too? Wait, how do I stabilize time?"
Xia De only had the 【Space Stability Aura】, not the 【Time Stability Aura】.
"What on earth are they teaching at the future Saint Byron?"
She was quite dissatisfied with the education Xia De had received, reaching out to grab Xia De's wrist and pressing it onto Miss Beiya's forehead:
"Summon your destiny ring and shine your spiritual light on her. At the same time, use power related to time, and use the spirit of the ring sorcerer's order to guide the disordered time."
Xia De understood this time; this was just a very simple technique. So the third-ring sorcerer's destiny ring appeared amidst the sound of whistles and bells, and when the spiritual light shone on the three people below, Miss Lei Qianya reached out and hugged the trembling witch. More accurately, she bent her neck and hugged her head.
The light symbolizing the power of the yellow moon 【Guidance】 flickered, helping the eleventh-tier witch of the Zhalas Academy stabilize her own power together with Xia De.
After a long while, the golden staircase behind the witch that was flickering as if it were about to collapse finally stabilized. Miss Beiya, who had come to her senses, was pale, and after thanking the two softly, she sat back down by the bonfire, looking in a very bad state.
"One by one, they are all so not worry-free; I finally understand why Teacher Feilianna doesn't like taking students on adventures. However, I was very well-behaved back then."
Miss Lei Qianya shook her head, glanced at the haggard Miss Beiya by the bonfire, then reached out and took a red apple from the box beside her, rubbed it on her clothes, and took a bite, a smile appearing on her face:
"Is this an autumn apple?"
"Yes, autumn, just late autumn. However, can you perceive the season through the taste of the fruit? Is this a special ability in terms of taste?"
Xia De asked curiously.
"No, no, this is the power of the bloodline, allowing me to perceive the growth stage and date of plants. Before meeting the teacher, I was able to survive as a flower girl by relying on this power. Speaking of which, my bloodline is a distant branch of the Elf Royal Family."
Miss Lei Qianya, who had one-eighth elf blood, threw another apple to Xia De and returned to the bonfire, and Xia De also sat back down.
"Xia De, I know you don't have much time, so let's talk about business. Your miracle 【Silent Moonlight】 is very effective; yes, this primitive and ancient power exceeds the scope of my understanding of moonlight."
She reached out and flicked upward, and the solid orange-yellow moon floating above the bonfire immediately began to rotate at a slow speed:
"With the help of 【Silent Moonlight】, we can continue to explore the ruins of the Gadis Library after you leave. You may have noticed that there are more old books here; these are all books that Teacher Feilianna and the Zhalas Academy are looking for. And the book that the gray-robed sage needs, we have also found, but we haven't gotten our hands on it yet."
