But "bad luck" still befell the girl holding the unicorn doll:
"Which one is Miss Amelia Sinnod?"
The name was clearly read out. Emilia shuddered, then raised her hand tremblingly. The voice in her heart said:
"My incident of running out of school without permission was exposed!"
So, without even being allowed to change her clothes, she carried her unicorn doll, wore slippers, a nightcap and pajamas, and left the room under the half-relieved and half-worried gaze of the other elf girl.
The "Forest of Trees" dormitory area was built in a giant ancient forest. After handing over to the dormitory management of the Fifth Ring Road, Emilia entered the midnight college along with the secretary of the Student Affairs Office and Professor Cornelius, the vice-dean of the School of Chemistry where she worked.
No one communicated with the young elf girl along the way, but unexpectedly, the destination was the college library, not the imagined "Student Administration Building", "Chemistry College Student Administration Center" or the rumored "Confinement Room Building".
"Come in, Miss Danister is waiting for you."
It was not until she entered the library at night and met the anxiously waiting Dean of the School of Library Management that the elf girl was told the real purpose of her trip.
"What does Professor Danister want to see me about?"
Emilia then realized that she might have guessed something wrong. She unconsciously hugged her unicorn doll tightly, but others didn't know the reason either:
"Miss Danister is currently away on a business trip for a very important matter, and that important matter is happening right now. Miss Sienold, you must understand that the librarian wants to see you now, and it is definitely not because you copied the wrong book title or got the order of the list wrong when you were registering at the library."
Professor Connelly said to his students very seriously:
"This will be a matter that will almost concern the years and history, so no matter what the professor asks you to do or what you answer, you must obey it completely. Don't lose face for our School of Chemistry. Go quickly, Miss Danister is waiting."
The young elf girl immediately felt as if she was bearing a heavy burden that an elf like her, who was not even fifty years old, should not have to bear.
So, she was almost pushed into the bookshelves by several professors. The destination was naturally Miss Danister's office area, which was located in the center of the library, the area exclusively for librarians.
There was no projection ceremony that required four chairs and a basin of water. On the coffee table where Shade and Miss Danister usually met, there was a silver spherical device.
At this moment, a transparent phantom appeared above the sphere, and Miss Danister's green projection was waiting for her.
"Professor Danister!"
Miss Elf bowed immediately, and when she lowered her head she saw her own clothes, and then saw the doll in her hand, and she immediately blushed.
But then, something happened that made her blush even more, because Shade's projection also appeared next to Miss Danister, looking at her dress with some surprise:
"I want to apologize to you, Miss Amelia Sienord."
Time was running out, so Xia De didn't spend too much time on small talk:
"Please forgive me for disturbing you so late..."
"It's okay, what can I do for you?"
She asked with a blink of her eyes. She felt much more relieved after she was sure that the student administration office was not looking for her because she had violated the rules by leaving the college, withholding some materials and unicorn rations when managing the unicorns, illegally entering the prohibited areas of the college, secretly mixing illegal potions, sneaking out of the dormitory after curfew, entering the tavern and trying to bribe the bartender to buy a glass of ale, and her transcript of the winter exams for the 1853 academic year was sent to her parents who were studying in the New World.
The elf girl was even a little curious. After all, she knew that Shade's presence in the Randall Valley was also a violation of the rules. And now that he openly stood with Miss Danister, it meant that he really had encountered trouble that needed to be solved urgently.
Xia De glanced at Miss Danister beside him:
"I want to know... that passage... Yes, that passage."
Emilia blinked before she reacted. She glanced at the projection of Miss Danister next to Shade and asked nervously:
"Do you have to know now?"
"Yes, I know what kind of loss this means to you, I will compensate..."
"Okay, you don't have to tell riddles anymore."
The librarian interrupted their conversation:
"A secret passage from inside the school to the outside, right?"
Emilia pursed her lips and looked at Shade, asking Shade to solve the problem. Fortunately, Miss Danister did not hold him accountable:
"Ms. Siamnod, tell Shade the location and method. I can pretend that I didn't know anything about your previous use of the secret passage. I can also assure you that no one will be held accountable for what you did in the past. But when I return to St. Byron's, I will deal with the secret passage according to the situation. You should understand that the college prohibits students from leaving at will, and it is also to protect you and the secrets of St. Byron's."
When Miss Elf heard that "there will be no accountability for past events", her eyes lit up. After all, the wrong things she had done before were not just sneaking out of the academy. But when she thought that the secret passage would probably not be usable in the future, her mood immediately became depressed.
"I'm sorry, I really am, but this is to save a friend of mine."
Shade was still apologizing. It was indeed because of him that Emilia's life and secrets were affected. But the elf girl shook her head very understandingly:
"If it's to save people, I can understand, but after this incident, you must compensate me!"
She was thinking about Shad's knowledge of ancient elven runes, and the fact that her past mistakes were not held accountable made her feel like she had gone to the back door of the "Alchemy Tavern" tonight to buy goblin spinach and won the jackpot.
Miss Danister coughed, interrupting the young elf girl's chaotic thoughts. She had faced so many students that she could easily see the joy on Emilia's face:
"Girl of the Yuexi clan, you have violated countless school rules, so please do not blackmail my students."
"Oh~"
Emilia said softly, lowering her head and blinking at Shade, looking very playful:
"However, the way in and out is a bit complicated. If Shade can come directly to the academy, I can demonstrate it to him."
Miss Danister immediately agreed:
"In order to facilitate the transfer of possible wounded, I brought a method to return to the academy immediately this time, but that method is not comfortable at all. I will let Shade go over now, and I will explain to the academy. Tell me the exit location of the secret passage in the Randall River Valley area, and I will go to the exit to greet you."
Fortunately, the exit was located quite close to the camp where Miss Danister was camping at the moment.
So Shad said hello to Miss Sylvia who was not far away, and Miss Danister began to prepare to send him to the college.
The method is simple, it is a way to break through the dangerous space cracks in the material world. Unless you are as "gifted" as Miss Sylvia, or rely on ancient powers such as the Witch Council and the Ancient Gods, most of the space transfers rely on relics.
This time is no exception.
Miss Danister perfunctorily gave Shade a mask to cover his face, and then took him back to the camp. Sure enough, no one in the camp, including the church ring warlock, asked who the suspicious man wearing the mask was.
"The coffins of the twins, a Secret Keeper-level relic. This is a pair of metal coffins unearthed in 728 of the Sixth Era. The coffins were probably buried in the Dark Age, which is the Fourth Era."
Miss Danister asked the accompanying "relic keeper" for a model coffin that was about the thickness of an arm. The coffin was originally kept in a long box made of pure gold. After it was placed on the ground, the coffin automatically became a normal size.
The chilly atmosphere made this snowy early spring night even colder, and even Xia De instinctively resisted approaching such a thing.
"The original owners of the coffins were twins, suspected to have giant blood. Although they were seven years old when they were buried, their bodies were larger than normal adults. When the coffins were opened, the two ancient vengeful spirits caused great trouble to the Saint Byrons archaeological exploration team. The history professor with the eleventh ring in the team was seriously injured after a confrontation. It was the principal of that generation who resolved and sealed the vengeful spirits. As for the pair of coffins, if there are cats in the coffins, they have the ability to pass items to each other, and even pass living people."
Miss Danister smiled:
"I was supposed to use Transfiguration to prepare a cat, but you see, you prepared one yourself."
"Meow?"
Mia was currently peeking out from Shad's arms.
So the sorceress asked Shade to open the coffin lid and motioned for him to lie down in it:
"Of course, the negative characteristics are also quite troublesome. If you pass on a relic, it will almost certainly go out of control. If you pass on a living person, if you don't have enough resistance to the undead, you will become an undead yourself. Not to mention, the process of exchanging two coffins is extremely uncomfortable. According to people who have used it, it feels worse than sleeping in a mass grave outside the city with feces all over the ground."
Shade blinked and looked at the dark bottom of the coffin, but thinking of the big-tailed dragon girl trapped in the Eternal Night City of the Fifth Era, he still crawled in and hugged the orange and white kitten tightly.
Mia was not afraid of the coffin. On the contrary, she liked this relatively closed dark environment, especially with Shade by her side. Of course, if the coffin could be smaller, she would be even happier.
