Whispering Verse

Chapter 818 The coming guests

"Good evening, Miss Daniste."

At nine twenty-one in the evening, Shade appeared on a chair in the central circular space of the St. Byrons Library. The librarian sat on the sofa opposite. The students who helped with the ceremony said goodbye to Miss Denister, and then stood up and left. This time there were two students, a boy and a girl. The older male is human, and the female has scales on her face. It’s unknown what race she is.

"Her grandmother was a half-breed mermaid."

Miss Danister noticed Shade's curiosity and spoke after they were far away.

Miss Danister is still the same, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding a book in her hand. She is still in high spirits even though it is late at night. Although Shade wanted to learn more about the process of birthing descendants of mermaids and humans on an academic level, he did not ask out of politeness:

"It's so late, are there many people in the library?"

He noticed a young student sitting on the ground holding a book in the gap between the bookshelf:

"I thought that a residential school like St. Byrons would have a curfew and lights-out time at night just like a regular school."

"There are lower grades, and the upper grades can move around in the castle before eleven o'clock at night, but they can't violate school rules. You can stay overnight in the library. The fall activities of the Astronomy School have just ended, but the matter of the star whale and the starry sky broken light path, There is a lot of fuss now and students want answers from the library."

Miss Danister introduced it, and Shade pretended to be curious and said:

"I also heard the news about Fort Midhill in Tobesk. Miss Luvia Anat, the ring magician in the same group, also observed the Star Sea Whale on Wednesday night. I heard that there was a midsummer night in Fort Midhill, and Is the same thing about Tobesk true?"

"Yes."

The librarian looked very sad:

"Our principal planned to try his luck to see if Miss Feliana would appear again in this election ceremony, but he encountered this kind of thing. The news you got is probably incomplete. Wednesday From night to early Thursday morning, what happened in the Sikar Mountain area was tens of thousands of times more complicated than you can imagine."

Seeing that Shade still wanted to ask - Shade actually had no such idea, Miss Danister took the initiative to change the topic:

"This matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to inquire too much. I have called you here this time because of the 'Guidance Moon' of Sussex Medical College. It was originally expected that he would come at the end of this month or next We arrived in Tobesk City at the beginning of the month, but there was a slight problem, and I’m afraid we won’t be able to reach Tobesk until mid-November.”

"Did you push it back a week? It doesn't matter. When the other party arrives, I will take action. I am in Tobesk. It also has a lot to do with it."

Miss Denister smiled and nodded:

"That's good. If it weren't for his difficult identity, why would it be so troublesome? We have to wait for him to arrive in Tobesk before we can take action."

"Identity trouble? I remember you mentioned that the other party also teaches by correspondence. Is this a real identity trouble?"

Shade asked, and Miss Denister gave an affirmative answer:

"You may have heard that the Cavendish royal family in Delarion is involved with the Zalas Conjuration Academy. Talented members of the royal family will be sent to Zalas to study."

For example, Lesia Cavendish of this generation.

"The Anjou royal family of the United Kingdom of Carsonlik is involved with the Serkses Higher Medical School. They will also send talented people from the royal family to study in Serksese."

This reminded Shade of the time he handed the suitcase containing the "Difference Engine" blueprints to the princess of the Anjou royal family at Fort Midhill, and that princess clearly had very slight witch powers.

"The real name of the Guiding Moon, Lykins Pricha, is a distant relative of the Angevin royal family. Mr. Pricha's maternal grandmother and the mother of the contemporary King Carsonric are twin sisters. So after showing his talent, he became Correspondence Ringmancer of Serkses."

Of course, such an identity is not enough to scare the thirteen-ring warlock. But regarding the matter of "Silver Moon Library", Miss Danister wanted to prevent as many people from knowing as much as possible, so she acted so cautiously:

"Let's talk about some political topics with you. Do you know about the visit to Carsonric this summer by Lesia Cavendish, the princess of Delarion, on behalf of the royal family?"

Of course Shade knew about this. Although he didn't know why he mentioned this, he still nodded cautiously:

"You know, there are a lot of relevant news in the newspapers. Do you also know about this?"

"Of course, we also subscribe to newspapers from the civilized world and care about the politics of the two human kingdoms. I have recently been following the "Hamilton Detective Stories" serialized in the "Steambird Daily". Speaking of which, the protagonist of the novel is very similar to your identity. It’s a bit off topic.”

Miss Daniste shook her head and pointed to the coffee table. The newspaper floated towards Shade. On it was a photo of Lesia in Coldwater Port when she returned to China:

"For the sake of diplomatic balance, the Anjou royal family plans to have the second princess Margaret of Anjou return to Tobesk this fall or winter."

Shade also knows about this (Chapter 653), but there have been rumors like this. Winter is about to come, but there is no exact time.

"Lekins Prisha will go to Tobesk with the visiting team. He was not there originally. I thought of some ways to get him to join the visiting team."

Miss Daniste stopped talking, because a young lady with orange hair wearing a black robe with the school badge embroidered on her chest came over:

"Miss Denister, I'm sorry to disturb you. Professor Wincheless just sent a message asking if the batch of relic books is allowed to be stored in the basement of the library?"

"We will discuss this at the on-campus lunch next week. You should write a reply to Professor Wincheless and ask the library management school to stop throwing dangerous things into the library all the time."

Miss Daniste waved her hand, as if she was bored by the topic. The girl with orange hair nodded slightly, glanced at Shade curiously, then turned and left.

Seeing that Shade was very curious, Miss Denister picked up the tea cup and introduced:

"The library has opened some positions, allowing students with high grades and below to do work such as book sorting and library guidance. This is not only remunerative, but can also earn limited practical credits, and is even helpful for applying to stay in school to teach. When I was young , and also did the work of organizing books.”

She shook her head slightly and ended the topic:

"In short, it has been confirmed that Princess Margaret and her party will set off at the beginning of November and arrive in Tobesk in the middle of November. You will probably see the news in next week's newspaper. I want to inform you in advance. I want you to Prepare in advance. I remember that your real occupation is a detective? And you also have a knighthood, so you should have a noble connection, right?"

She didn't know anything about Shade.

"Yes."

Shade nodded immediately, he was very confident:

"Because I saved the queen, I even entered the Yodel Palace and had a private conversation with the king."

"I can rest assured that."

Seeing Shade's appearance, Miss Danister also smiled:

"It's right to ask you for help."

Probably because there was nothing else to do tonight, after Miss Danist finished talking about business, she talked to Shade about the history of the library. She had promised that once she found the "Silver Moon Library", she would list Shade as the next candidate for librarian. This was certainly not something she said casually.

The large-scale absence of Fifth Age history has caused historical chronology to appear in this ancient library, but there are still some materials that have been preserved, such as the name of Miss Bryony Olanold, that is, The first librarian of the college library.

"She is considered Miss Mana Feliana's most important student, and she has elven blood. Because of her kinship relationship, this also led to the emergence of a large number of elven students in the academy."

Miss Danister said, drawing a circle in the air with her fingers, and the yellow moon shadow appeared above the coffee table:

"As one of the original founders of St. Byrons, Miss Olanode's information is closely related to Miss Fillianna. In order to investigate the more specific life of Miss Fillianna, I found some information in the library. I was reading an old book that was old, and I unexpectedly discovered that this woman’s core spiritual rune is actually [Yellow Moon].”

"That's a pity. Miss Olanode is a witch living in the fifth era. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to look for the 'Guiding Moon'."

Shade said regretfully and looked around:

"This feeling is really interesting. The same space but different time. Maybe in the distant fifth era, the lady also imagined that her future successors were discussing her story."

"A very romantic fantasy."

The sorceress of the thirteenth ring said with a smile, and Shade took the opportunity to introduce his topic:

"Speaking of which, I recently came into contact with the broken holy symbol of the old god [Grey-robed Sage] and learned a spell related to the library. I remember you mentioned that the establishment of the library was related to the believers of the old god. related."

"Yes, so what spells have you learned?"

Miss Denister motioned to Shade to show it off.

So Xia De sat upright, holding his palms forward, and silently recited in his heart:

"A way to enhance time perception!"

He kept up the motion, but nothing happened. For three full seconds, when Shade was already starting to feel embarrassed, a roll of parchment flew from the distance and accurately entered Shade's hands.

"Really?"

Shade was greatly surprised. He didn't expect this matter to be solved so easily.

But when I looked at the parchment carefully, I realized that it was a paper I had borrowed, written by a senior student at St. Byrons, on methods to enhance time perception. He has tried most of the above methods, but apart from providing some interesting ideas, they are basically useless.

"But it doesn't matter. After all, in the projection state, the power of extraordinary power will be weakened. If the old sage really left the method of enhancing time perception to the believers, and the believers collected it in this library, then I may need to go there myself."

"Oh? Did you use a spell to find the information you wanted directly from the library?"

Miss Daniste asked, so Shade introduced the general situation of [Library Search] spells. The librarian lady nodded with great interest:

"I have heard of this kind of spell. To be more precise, in the era when the old gods have not yet left, this should be considered a divine spell. After all, the library itself prohibits most of the extraordinary powers of searching books to prevent leaks. The secret of the library. Only this type of magic from the same source can work in the library of St. Byrons."

"So, apart from the fact that the believer of the old god has partially integrated into us, are there other places? I am very interested in this kind of spell."

Shade took the opportunity to ask, and Miss Danister nodded:

"Does the Apna Library know?"

"Know."

He met the high-level warlock in the library during the guardian battle of the natural church in the narrow room.

"There is information that shows that before the old god's order collapsed, a small number of believers brought some important information and joined the Apuna Library."

Shade immediately decided to contact the library if he had the opportunity. Maybe the information on time perception was there.

"In addition, there is also a very ancient organization, very ancient, but also very ridiculous. They always believe that the end of the world is coming, so they try every means to prepare in advance to deal with the doomsday."

Miss Denister said again, and named a familiar name:

“The Priory of the Guide of Light.

That group of people was very hidden, and I only heard when I was a student that some of them traded several relics with St. Byrons. After the Order of the Old God fell apart, the two top leaders of the Order took some information and joined the Priory. This is not a rumor, it is recorded in the information of St. Byrons. Of course, the vast majority of people in the Order of the Old Gods stayed in St. Byrons and became our faculty, but that was thousands of years ago. "

"There may be clues in St. Byrons, Apna Library, and the Priory of the Guide of Light."

Shade thought to himself, feeling as if he would never be able to take any time off.
