"Speaking of which, I will be freed from the tedious housework after completing the last journey of the keys in my hand this Sunday."
Shade said as he cleaned up the camp.
"Because of the lazy thaumaturgy you mentioned - Fiona's domestic servants?"
Luvia asked with a smile.
"Yes."
Xia De said excitedly while fiddling with the bonfire:
"I don't know the specific effect yet, but even if you can't cook for me, at least you can help fold clothes, sweep the floor or clean the windows, right?"
Although Miss Carina's maids would go to Saint Teresa's Square every Saturday to clean up, Shade couldn't really ignore the hygiene of the house on a daily basis:
"So, will you use this magic to feed cats?"
Luvia asked again, and saw Shade shaking his head:
"Of course not. Feeding cats is not a task, but a pleasure. I won't ruin my own pleasure."
The smile on the purple-eyed girl's face became more obvious.
The two had dinner with the unicorn, and Shade even took out a bottle of red wine and toasted with Luvia by the campfire. The unicorn also wanted to taste the red wine, but Shade refused on the grounds that "underage unicorns" could not drink.
But in Luvia's opinion, it is best for adult unicorns not to drink alcohol.
The starry sky outside the city was bright, and Shad thought he would watch the stars with Luvia until late at night, and then spend the night in the tent. Unexpectedly, at only seven o'clock in the evening, the familiar whistle of the elf girl sounded in the forest.
Only this time, the full little beast did not run over excitedly, but lazily called out in the woods:
"Yeah~"
This sound was also very penetrating, and the whistles stopped. About ten minutes later, the blonde elf girl, still wearing the same outfit as last time, appeared in the firelight outside the camp.
She saw the light of the campfire here from the woods, so she slowed down her pace and waited until she was sure that the unicorn was safe before she dared to continue walking over.
When she got outside the fence, which was more formal than practical, she recognized Shade again. Shade had not disguised himself twice, but the last time was in the dark forest, so she didn't see him clearly. Then she realized that the woman next to Shade this time was a little different from the last time. The lady last time was obviously taller.
"Miss, can't you just keep an eye on it? It's impossible for it to run into me every time it runs out. What if it runs into a bad guy?"
Shade complained to the elf, who stood outside the area covered by the bonfire and was too timid to answer. So Luvia waved at her with a smile:
"Come sit here and take a rest. We have no restrictions on its freedom, you can take it away anytime."
Luvia's friendliness played a very good role at this time, or maybe it was the unicorn's action of almost putting its head on Shad's legs that forced the elf girl to come over.
She thanked them both again in a low voice in Draerion and sat down by the campfire in the direction of the unicorn's tail.
Facing the little beast, the elf girl was not so polite. She patted its back angrily:
"Why did you run out again? If the teacher finds out, both of us will be in trouble."
"The punishment for leaving St. Byron's without permission seems to be terrible."
Xia De said with emotion.
"Yes, the school rules say..."
The elf girl stopped, pursed her lips and blinked her eyes at Shade. She looked only slightly older than Ajelina, but her actual age should be over fifty:
"You guys knew I was a student at St. Byron's?"
Luvia smiled and shook her head:
"Don't worry, we are also students of St. Byron's, but we are studying by correspondence."
"The local correspondence group doesn't have you."
The elf said nervously that she was a fourth-ring sorcerer, and even though alien sorcerers were generally stronger than human sorcerers, she could not beat fifth-ring sorcerers like Shade and Luvia. Her words also proved that even if the unicorn had not sneaked away, she had come to the Randall Valley many times and even knew the local correspondence group.
“We are not part of the local group, we are outsiders.”
Xia De said, taking out a badge from his pocket:
"Look at this. This can't be fake, right?"
The elf girl looked at the purple-gold medal in the light of the fire, and then opened her mouth in surprise:
"Feliana Medal? You are the one who got it in half a year as rumored..."
The "Feliana Medal" itself is a very useful alchemical item. Shade was attracted by the effect of the "clean clothes" attached to it, so he carried it with him.
"Shh!"
Xia De raised his finger, signaling her not to continue. He didn't mind exposing his identity, after all, he was now a teacher in the academy. Moreover, compared to the correspondence ring sorcerer who left his area at will, the punishment for the formal students who left the academy without permission was greater.
Even if Xia De was willing to say something like "Elf, you don't want others to know that you left school casually", he might have been able to get more good things from the girl in front of him.
But fortunately, he is still a good person.
"This is a student jointly trained by the Prophet Association and the Academy. She came to the Randall Valley on a business trip. I was worried about her, so I used some methods to follow her. We are both members of the Tobesk correspondence group in the Kingdom of Drarion, and both are five-ringed. Shad Hamilton, Luvia Annat."
Xia De briefly introduced the identities of the two people, and then looked at the elf in the firelight with some seriousness:
"As your seniors, we really want to warn you not to leave the academy casually. The ring sorcerers outside the academy can really 'eat people'."
The elf girl immediately nodded fearfully:
"I heard that a correspondence ring sorcerer like you would have no problem beating the three of us if one of you is of the same level."
"This statement is a bit exaggerated. What do college students think of correspondence students?"
He asked again curiously, and the elf girl said hesitantly:
"Murder, arson, robbery, theft, fire and smuggling... That's about it."
Coincidentally, Xia De actually did all these things.
"Ahem, please introduce yourself. After all, we have met twice. Briefly tell me who you are."
The elf girl nodded nervously:
"Emilia Sienod, the elf of the Moonbrook clan."
Her name "Emilia" is the same as Yin Luna's middle name, and this name usually means hardworking, pragmatic, solid, diligent, cautious, patient, beautiful, straightforward, and cute.
"I'm a fourth-year student at the academy, but I'll definitely be a fifth-year student by the end of this year. I'm... the elf who takes care of this little beast. This kid always likes to wander around. It probably discovered that I sometimes suddenly disappear in the academy, so it found a way to get here."
But her method should not be the space maze, otherwise Xia De would have sensed the existence of the ancient god statue long ago.
"We'll keep it a secret for you."
Luvia said, glancing at Shade:
"This gentleman and I have no intention of prying into your secrets, but please take good care of the child."
She pointed at the unicorn and said in a soothing tone:
"There have been some problems in the Randall Valley recently. The power of underage unicorns is not strong enough. If they really encounter danger, you will definitely not be able to arrive in time."
The elf girl nodded somewhat ashamedly, and Shade added:
"A curse is spreading across the land of the Randall Valley, and illegal organizations like the Blood Spirit School have also come to this area. Before you met me early Tuesday morning, Unicorn and I saw them nearby, but I scared them away."
This is not a lie.
The elf girl also knew about the Blood Spirit School, so she nodded nervously:
"I'll keep an eye on it. She's at an age where she loves to travel. In the old days, she would leave the group and take short trips, but now she can only wander around St. Byrons. Although St. Byrons is big, it's not big enough to satisfy her curiosity."
You can see that she feels aggrieved too.
After that, he hesitated for a moment and asked Xia De softly:
"Sir, since you are not a local, do you have any channels to purchase New World 'specialties'?"
"Special products" generally refer to goods from illegal smuggling channels, which is the "slang" of the ring wizards. Xia De immediately knew what she wanted to do. One of the disadvantages of the ring wizards in school compared to the correspondence ring wizards is that once some materials are out of stock in the academy, they can only wait for the academy to restock them, and they have no channels to purchase them on their own.
Like Dr. Schneider, he was able to "cash out" the college bonus through the channel of current students because he contacted the students in the college and provided them with materials at a low price.
“Is there a list?”
Shade asked. The elf shook his head slightly, then took out a pen and paper and wrote a few lines:
"These are enough. I can buy them at 30% of the price."
“Weathervane Bluegrass?”
Xia De saw familiar materials. This kind of material is generally used in space magic or rituals. It seems that the elf girl also has space spirit runes.
"Sure, today is Friday, so...how about delivering here next week on Tuesday evening?"
He suggested this, and the elf didn't expect Shade to be so straightforward, and nodded happily.
"But since we helped you, you have to help us do something too."
Luvia smiled and said that Shade couldn't say this, otherwise it would seem that Shade was threatening him. Although Luvia didn't know what Shade wanted to do, seeing how enthusiastic he was, he was definitely not just interested in the elves.
"Yes... I can't tell you how to get back to St. Byrons from the Randall Valley!"
"We didn't intend to invade the academy. That's a crazy idea."
Xia De smiled and shook his head:
"Help me look up some information about the past events in the Randall Valley and the curse of the 'Crazy Land'. Go to the academy library and search for any information."
He couldn't ask Miss Danister directly, because that lady was already suspicious of the relationship between Shad and the Godcaller.
