Chapter 1477: Chapter 1477: Excited Elf
But "misfortune" still befell the girl holding the unicorn toy:
"Who is Miss Emilia Xenode?"
The na was clearly pronounced, and Emilia shivered slightly, then shivered again as she raised her hand, a voice in her heart said:
"My sneaking out of school has been found out!"
So, she didn’t even have the permission to change clothes, carrying her unicorn toy, wearing slippers, a nightcap, and pajamas, she left the room under the gaze of another elf girl, half-relieved and half-worried.
The "Woodland Tree Sea" dormitory area was built amidst a giant ancient forest. After the handover with the dormitory managent of the Five Rings, Emilia, along with the Student Affairs Office secretary and the Vice Dean of her Chemistry Academy, Professor Connelly, entered the academy at midnight.
No one spoke to the young elf girl along the way, but unexpectedly, their destination turned out to be the academy’s library, instead of the imagined "Student Affairs Office Building," "Chemistry Academy Student Managent Center," or the rumored "Detention Building."
"Go in, Miss Danester is waiting for you."
After entering the library at night and eting the anxiously waiting head of the Academy of Library Managent, the elf girl finally learned the true purpose of this trip.
"What does Professor Danester want from ?"
Only then did Emilia realize she might have guessed wrong about sothing. She unconsciously hugged her unicorn toy tighter, but no one else knew the reason:
"Miss Danester is currently on a business trip abroad due to a very important matter, and that big event is happening, Miss Xenode. You have to understand, if the librarian wants to see you now, it’s definitely not because you copied a book title wrong or ssed up the order in the catalog while registering books in the library."
Professor Connelly seriously said to his student:
"This is almost related to ti and history, so no matter what the professor asks you to do or answer, you must comply completely. Don’t bring sha to our Chemistry Academy, go quickly, Miss Danester is already waiting."
The young elf girl imdiately felt as if she was bearing a heavy burden that a less-than-fifty-year-old elf like her shouldn’t bear.
So, she was almost pushed between the bookshelves by several professors. The destination was naturally Miss Danester’s usual office area, which is located in the center of the large library, that area exclusively for librarians.
There was no need for a projection ceremony requiring four chairs and a water basin, and there was a silver spherical device placed on the usual coffee table where Shard and Miss Danester would et,
At this mont, a transparent phantom appeared above the sphere, Miss Danester’s green projection was waiting for her.
"Professor Danester!"
The elf girl imdiately bowed, and as she lowered her head, she saw her outfit and then spotted the toy in her hand, causing her to blush instantly.
But soon, an even more embarrassing thing happened, because Shard’s projection also appeared beside Miss Danester, looking at her attire with so surprise:
"I must apologize to you, Miss Emilia Xenode."
Ti was pressing, and Shard didn’t spend too much ti exchanging pleasantries:
"Please forgive
for disturbing you so late..."
"It’s alright, is there sothing you need from ?"
She blinked and asked, feeling relieved after confirming that the Student Affairs Office wasn’t looking for her because she had left the Academy without permission, retained so materials and unicorn fodder while managing unicorns, illegally entered prohibited areas within the academy, secretly concocted illegal magic potions, often sneaked out of the dormitory after curfew, entered a tavern in an attempt to bribe the bartender for a cup of barley wine, and her winter exam report for the 1853 academic year had been sent to her parents who were on an expedition in the New World.
In fact, the elf girl was even a bit curious. After all, she knew that Shard appearing in the Randall Valley was also a violation. And now that he was openly standing with Miss Danester, it indicated he had indeed encountered a difficult problem that needed urgent resolution.
Shard glanced at Miss Danester by his side:
"I want to know... that channel... yes, that channel."
Emilia blinked her eyes in realization, and she quietly glanced at Miss Danester’s projection beside Shard, asking nervously:
"Do we have to know now?"
"Yes, I know what kind of loss this ans for you, and I will compensate..."
"Alright, no need to speak in riddles."
The Librarian interrupted their conversation:
"A secret passage from within the school to the outside, right?"
Emilia pursed her lips and looked at Shard, letting him handle this problem. Fortunately, Miss Danester did not bring up any so-called accountability:
"Miss Sianod, tell Shard the location and thod. The matter of you having used that secret passage before, I can pretend I completely don’t know about it, and I can assure you that what you did in the past won’t be questioned by anyone again. But once I return to Saint Byrons, I will have to deal with that secret passage depending on the situation. You must understand that the Academy forbids students from leaving casually, which is also to protect you and protect the secrets of Saint Byrons."
Hearing that "past actions won’t be questioned again," Miss Elf’s eyes brightened. After all, the mistakes she made in the past weren’t just about sneaking out of the Academy. But then she thought about how the secret passage probably wouldn’t be usable in the future, and her mood imdiately fell.
"Sorry, really sorry, but this is to save a friend of mine."
Shard was still apologizing. It was indeed because of him that Emilia’s life and secrets were affected. But the Elf Girl shook her head understandingly:
"If it’s to save soone, I can understand, but after this, you must compensate !"
She was thinking about Shard’s knowledge of Ancient Elf Runes, and combined with past mistakes not being pursued, she felt as if tonight was like going to the back door of the Alchemical Tavern to buy goblin spinach and then winning a big prize.
Miss Danester coughed to interrupt the young Elf Girl’s scattered thoughts. She faced so many students that she could easily see the joy on Emilia’s face:
"Moon Creek Clan girl, you have violated who knows how many school rules, so please do not extort my students."
"Oh~"
Emilia said softly, lowering her head and raising her eyes to blink playfully at Shard:
"However, the way in and out is a bit complicated. If Shard can co directly to the Academy, I can demonstrate for him."
Miss Danester imdiately agreed:
"To facilitate the transfer of possible wounded, I have a way to return to the Academy this trip, though it is not comfortable at all. I will send Shard over now; I will explain to the Academy. Tell
the exit location of the secret passage in the Randall Valley Region, and I will et you at the exit."
Fortunately, the exit location was quite close to where Miss Danester’s camp was.
So Shard waved to Miss Sylvia not far away, and Miss Danester started preparing to send him to the Academy.
The thod was simple, breaking through dangerous spatial gaps in the Material World. Unless you were "gifted" like Miss Sylvia or could rely on ancient powers like the Witch Council or the Ancient God Statue, most spatial transfers relied on relics.
This case was no exception.
Miss Danester casually gave Shard a mask to cover his face, then took him back to the camp. Sure enough, none of the people in the camp, including the Church Ring Sorcerer, questioned who the suspicious mask-wearing man was.
"A Keeper of Secrets Level Relic, the Twins’ Coffin. This is a pair of tal coffins unearthed from the year 728 of the Sixth Era. The burial era is likely the Dark Age, which is the Fourth Era."
Miss Danester requested a model coffin about the thickness of an arm from the accompanying "relic custodian." The coffin had been stored in a long box made of pure gold. Once placed on the ground, the coffin automatically transford to normal size.
The chilling aura made this snowy early spring night even colder, and even Shard instinctively resisted approaching such a thing.
"The original owners of the coffins were a pair of twins, suspected to have giant lineage. Although they were seven years old when buried, the bodies were larger than typical adult humans. When the coffins were opened back then, the two ancient wraith spirits caused a significant problem for the Saint Byrons archaeological exploration team. A History Academy professor of the Eleven Rings got severely injured at first encounter. It was resolved and sealed only when the then principal intervened. As for these coffins, as long as there’s a cat inside, they possess the ability to transfer objects and even living people between each other."
Miss Danester smiled:
"Originally, I would have needed to prepare a cat using a transformation spell, but look, you ca with one yourself."
"ow?"
At this mont, Mia was curiously poking her head out from Shard’s arms.
So the Female Sorcerer gestured for Shard to open the coffin lid and indicated for him to lie inside:
"Of course, the negative traits are quite troubleso. Transferring relics almost always causes them to lose control. Transferring living people, if your resistance to the undead is insufficient, you too might turn into an undead. Not to ntion, the exchange process between the coffins is extrely discomforting. According to those who’ve used it, the feeling is worse than sleeping a night at a disorderly burial ground outside the city full of filth."
Shard blinked and glanced at the dark bottom of the coffin, but thinking of the Big Tail Dragon Lady trapped in the Fifth Era’s City of Eternal Night, he still climbed in, holding tightly to the orange and white kitten.
Mia didn’t feel scared of the coffin. On the contrary, it particularly liked such relatively closed dark environnts, especially with Shard by its side. Of course, if this coffin could be a bit smaller, it might be even happier.
