Chapter 2780 Between the Bookshelves
"Aunt Kisara, let me introduce you. This is my student Shad Hamilton. I think he should be my only student. He is very outstanding and won the Felena Medal last year."
Miss Danister finally introduced:
"He is currently helping me with some things in Vista City, but I would like to ask you, mother-in-law, to keep this a secret."
"Of course, of course."
The old elf looked at Shade again, and praised him with words like "really good" and "very suitable" that no one could understand.
So everyone sat down, and this time, Shad sat on Miss Danister's sofa for the first time, that is, sitting next to her. Emilia sat down only after getting permission, sitting upright with her legs together and her hands on her knees, looking very well behaved.
Apparently, she thought she still had to stand and listen to everyone talking.
But I have to admit that Emilia really suits the academy's autumn uniform. Xia De had seen Emilia's various summer uniforms in Yuewan this summer, and seeing her dressed like this was even amazing.
The assistant librarian brought them tea, snacks and fruit plates. Miss Danister chatted with Grandma Kisara for a while before finally getting down to business.
"I already know about Emilia. Although she was chosen in the end, it surprised me and her parents, but this is also the pride of us Moon Creek Elves."
Since the old elf was present, there were many things that didn't need to be discussed with Emilia. The young elf sat obediently beside the elder, not even daring to hold the teacup, and seemed to have made up his mind not to speak unless necessary.
However, Aunt Qisala seemed very kind, and was very similar to the knowledgeable elder that Xia De had in mind:
"The tree rings record that countless years have passed since that great era. Now that our Lord, the Tree Father, has chosen the elves again, this is actually a good thing.
But Emilia is still a little useless, and needs the help of the academy and you. Danister, I'll trouble you to take care of Emilia in Vista Forest this time."
The librarian agreed:
"Of course. And you don't have to say that. Emilia is actually doing very well in school."
"But we all know that what she's about to do is not something that a student can handle at their level."
The old elf looked at Emilia with a rather stern expression:
"Young elves today are really getting worse and worse. She inherited noble blood, but she has never realized her responsibilities. Even though the World Tree has long gone, the candidates for the Elf Priest are not just about dancing at the annual sacrifice. Besides, Emilia's dancing skills are not that good.
If we had been able to train her strictly from a young age, she wouldn't be sitting here with her head down and unable to say a word."
At this moment, Mother-in-law Qisara seemed like the kind of very strict elder that people usually imagined. Miss Danister could no longer speak for Emilia and had to continue the topic:
"Regarding the matter of the Chosen One of Time, the academy will provide Emilia with targeted training, so please rest assured. And after arriving at Vista Forest, Shade, others and I will also help her."
The old elf then turned his gaze away from Emilia beside him, and looked at the two people across the sofa with satisfaction:
"With you and Mr. Hamilton here, I can feel more at ease. No matter what, since you have been chosen, Emilia must shoulder her own responsibilities."
She patted Emilia on the shoulder, and she immediately said:
"Yes, I will take responsibility."
The old elf smiled slightly:
"Well, you and Mr. Hamilton, go somewhere else and show him around St. Byrons. Danister and I have something else to talk about, so you guys should come back in half an hour."
"Okay, mother-in-law."
So Emilia stood up, winked at Shade, and walked with him to the corridor between the bookshelves. At first, she walked slowly and steadily, but when she turned the first corner, she immediately pulled back and grabbed Shade's hand, and then walked quickly between the bookshelves;
After walking for a while, she suddenly started running. After running for five minutes, she looked back fearfully:
"Fortunately, fortunately, they didn't catch up!"
She patted her chest lightly. Seeing Xia De looking at her in surprise, the young girl explained:
"Being with Aunt Kisara is always stressful, and ever since she found out about the Vista Forest, she's been whispering all sorts of incomprehensible words in my ears."
She did not let go of Xia De's hand, but grabbed Xia De's other hand. She and Xia De faced each other, shaking their arms gently, with emerald green eyes filled with an excited smile:
"Shad, you're taking me away from the academy again, right? We've only been apart for two months, but I really miss you. Little Liana also misses you and Little Mia. Vista Glade! Vacation! Autumn! Holidays!"
"Need I remind you, this really isn't a vacation."
Shade couldn't help but speak, but Emilia pulled his hands and shook them again, the excitement in her emerald eyes still strong:
"What does it matter? Anyway, I have you and those beautiful witches around to help me. Oh, Ajelina and Iluna will also appear this time, right? I haven't seen them for a long time. I just know that after the summer vacation in Moon Bay is over, I will have a chance to be with you.
Shad, has Ajelina kissed you lately? Last time we corresponded, she said she wanted to prove to me that she had courage, but I guess she hasn't succeeded yet?"
The emerald green eyes blinked at Shade, and now the two were between two bookshelves that were very close to each other. The bookshelf aisle only allowed one person to pass in one direction, and for some reason there were no candlesticks above the two rows of bookshelves, so there was almost no lighting here except for the starlight on the ceiling.
Emilia moved her face closer to Shade as she spoke. She had a pleasant smell of woody perfume on her body, which was even more obvious in this slightly dim and narrow environment.
Xia De believed that his face had turned slightly red at this time, but he did not forget to answer the question:
"I haven't seen Ajelina very often recently. In fact, although she stayed overnight at my house last week, she was visiting Leicia because their mother, ahem, let's get off topic. I'm curious about what you usually talk about in your letters."
"That's a lot, Shade. Don't just ask a girl about her feelings."
She said shyly, looking into Shade's eyes, and realized that the distance between them was a little too close. So she closed her mouth, and after staring at Shade for a few seconds in front of the dim bookshelf, the blonde with pointed ears finally couldn't help but stretch her head forward, and then, just like on the boat in Moon Bay, she was blocked by Shade:
"No, no, Emilia, this won't work."
He shook his head and greeted Emilia's kiss with the back of his hand. The girl then said with some dissatisfaction:
"I wanted to show off to Ajelina and Iluna. I guess you won't refuse them. Humph~ It doesn't matter. I will be 56 in three years anyway."
As he said this, he secretly glanced at Xia De again, and then found that Xia De didn't show anything.
He just patted his head:
"Look at me, I almost forgot about this. Here you go, you can take it as a gift."
He took out the cloth-wrapped armband-like thing from his arm, held it in his hands, and then motioned Emilia expectantly to open it herself:
"Look what this is."
"Shad, you're not going to get Sister Develyn's eyepatch to give to me, are you?"
Emilia made a little joke, grabbed a corner of the cloth and lifted it up, and the silver light illuminated this small corner the next moment.
"What a beautiful crown! Is it made of sterling silver?"
The elf girl exclaimed in a low voice and reached out to touch it:
"Do you really want to give it to me?"
She looked up and asked Shade, and only held it in her hands after receiving a confirmed answer. It was then that she noticed the ancient Elvish characters on the crown. At this moment, although she had never learned this ancient language, the power of blood inheritance still made her understand its meaning:
"Elf. Kingship?"
As the rune was read out, the entire crown, including the golden main gem, began to glow slightly. The powerful miracle element seemed to radiate in all directions just because the pure-blooded elf read out its name. Fortunately, it only lit up for a moment and did not cause any greater movement:
"Is this the Elven Kingship?"
Apparently Emilia’s knowledge of ancient elves was quite good. She blinked in disbelief, but there was not much surprise on her face, because she did not believe that this was the treasure at all:
"Shade, is this true? Elven Kingship is a treasure I only heard about in stories from my childhood. How could it possibly appear here?"
"If you put it on, won't you know if it's real?"
Shade reminded her, but Emilia looked at the crown in her hand but hesitated to take any action. Shade then reached out and picked up the crown and put it directly on Emilia's golden hair.
At first, it seemed as if nothing happened. Just when Shade suspected that this treasure needed other methods to be activated, as the crown emitted a little light again, Emilia's life ring actually appeared in the quiet library.
Of course, due to the special nature of the life ring, the sound of the whistle and the bell did not spread out.
The six-ring brass ring was dotted with green light spots, and then, under the astonished gaze of the two, the life ring material gradually changed from brass to emerald jade. At the same time, the green light also spread to Emilia's hair, and finally her beautiful golden hair that seemed to glow had a few more strands of green hair.
