Miss Orlanod smiled and reached into the ice coffin, touched her student's face, and ran her finger across her lips:
"I'm such a troublesome student. When the blizzard turned into black snow, we were outside looking for other entrances to the library. I put up a barrier to block the black snowflakes, but she just shook her tail..."
The smile on her face became more obvious:
"Shad, when I open the barrier, I don't calculate the length of the tail."
This description is very vivid.
Miss Olanord slapped her forehead and sighed for her apprentice's carelessness. Miss Samuel, who was wearing round-framed glasses, smiled and reached out to pick up the limp-looking tail, pointing to the black spot at the tip of the tail:
"Look, this is it. This young girl unfortunately came into contact with Black Snow. Fortunately, her red dragon bloodline gave her superhuman powers, so she was rescued in time. I used the secret technique of the Zalas Academy, the Sleeping Ice Coffin, to temporarily seal her. She can only be awakened after we leave here."
As he said this, he put down the tail and signaled Xia De to close the ice coffin.
"Oh, so he just fell asleep."
Xia De was relieved. It sounded like this ice coffin secret technique was stronger than his false immortality. After all, false immortality had a duration, but the ice coffin could last for a long time.
After carefully closing the ice coffin, the three returned to sit by the fire again. Xia De still sat with his back to the black snow outside the door, while the other two witches avoided the pile of old books that held the shrine.
"Excuse me, how long have I been away?"
As Shade spoke, he unbuttoned his bulky coat. After taking off the heavy coat, he first stretched out his hands to the campfire to warm himself, and then took out a small toy from the inner pocket of the coat.
In order to facilitate Shade's transportation, Miss Carina put all the supplies she prepared in wooden boxes. Shade could turn them into toys by covering them with canvas. As for the canvas, after being folded, it also became a toy.
"Just like the Thousand Trees Forest, the time and space here are not uniform and continuous."
Miss Olanord said:
“Sometimes I just close my eyes and rest for a while, but when I open them it feels like a long time has passed.”
"Chaotic time and space are also the norm in places like this. The academy has conducted special research on this."
Miss Samuel, who was wearing round-framed glasses, also said this, and then stood up to look at the boxes that Shade had taken out. As the only 13th-level witch in the team, Miss Orlanod did not move and continued to talk to Shade:
"Except for this god's mission."
She glanced carefully at the shrine:
"We came here with our own mission. Each of the books scattered in the ruins of this library will have a significant impact on the research of the ancient era. If Teacher Feliana didn't have more important things to do, she should have led the team on this adventure."
Xia De subconsciously wanted to ask what the so-called "more important things" were, but he felt that in the past time and space, he should try to avoid getting involved in things that he shouldn't know.
“Oh, these aren’t cheap, are they?”
A voice came from the side, Miss Samuel was touching the fabric of a hooded gown:
"Look, although it's not the silk of the Eris silkworm, it's definitely not ordinary cloth."
This made Miss Orlanod frown slightly beside the campfire:
"Shad, how much did you spend?"
“It’s free.”
Shade immediately said:
"It was sponsored by a witch from my time. She said she admired you very much."
He hooked his right hand towards the flames, and using the power of the flame shaping spell, a distant view of Miss Carina's luxurious manor appeared in the fire:
"The witches of my time were quite wealthy."
"So, have you slept with them?"
Miss Samuel laughed and teased, then took out a pair of boots and muttered:
"Look, these boots are really nice. I just didn't expect that there were magic in your time..."
Miss Samuel was only halfway through her question when she froze in place as if struck by lightning. Then, the boots in her hand fell back into the box, and blood with a slight golden hue flowed from her eyes, mouth and nose. Behind her, eleven golden steps appeared automatically, but the steps were vague, and cracks spread across the surface.
"Have the witches of Zalas Academy never taken a course on the Theory of Time Stability? How dare she explore the future?"
Miss Orlanod said helplessly and a little angrily, standing up and walking quickly to Miss Samuel.
"She's losing control, Shade, steady the time."
"Witches can also lose control? Wait, how do we stabilize time?"
Shade only has a space-stabilizing aura, not a time-stabilizing aura.
“What do future Saint Byrons teach?”
She was quite dissatisfied with the education Shad had received, so she reached out and grabbed Shad's wrist, pressing it against Miss Samuel's forehead:
"Summon the Life Ring and illuminate her with its spiritual light. At the same time, use the power related to time, and use the spirit of order of the ring wizard to guide the disordered time."
This time, Shade understood. It was just a very simple technique. Then the life ring of the three-ringed sorcerer appeared amid the whistle and bell. When the aura shone on the three people below, Miss Orlanod reached out and hugged the trembling witch. More precisely, she bent her neck and hugged her head.
The light symbolizing the guiding power of the Yellow Moon flickered, and together with Shade, it helped the eleventh-level witch of the Zalas Academy to stabilize her own power.
After a long time, the golden staircase that seemed to be about to collapse behind the witch finally stabilized. Miss Samuel came to her senses with a pale face. After thanking the two of them softly, she sat back by the campfire, looking very bad.
"They are all so troublesome. I understand why Teacher Filianna doesn't like to take her students on adventures. But I was a very well-behaved kid back then."
Miss Orlanod shook her head, glanced at the haggard Miss Samuel beside the campfire, then reached out and took out a red apple from a box beside her, rubbed it on her clothes, took a bite, and a smile appeared on her face:
“Is this an autumn apple?”
"Yes, it's autumn, just late autumn. But can you sense the season from the fruits?"
Shade asked curiously.
"Yes, the power of bloodline allows me to sense the growth stages and dates of plants. Before I met the teacher, I relied on this power to survive as a flower girl. Speaking of which, my bloodline is a distant branch of the elven royal family."
Miss Orlanod, who is one-eighth elven, took out another apple and threw it to Shad, then returned to the campfire and Shad sat back down.
"Shad, I know you don't have much time, so let's get down to business. Your magic, Silent Moonlight, is very effective. Yes, this primitive and ancient power is beyond my understanding of moonlight."
She stretched out her hand and moved it upwards. The solid yellow moon floating above the bonfire immediately began to rotate slightly:
"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 the books that Teacher Felianna and the Zalas Academy are looking for. We have also found the book that the gray-robed sage needs, but we haven't got it yet."
