Chapter 2713 Weekend Night
Professor Manning had indeed been to many places, because his name was heard in almost every city that Xia De arrived in.
But it was obvious that Professor Manning, who was younger than Professor Quinto, had not participated in the study of the ancient temple in Riverwood Town half a century ago. Just when Shad thought he didn't have to bother the professor again this time, Professor Quinto smiled and said:
"Professor Manning and I have also talked about this temple in Riverwood Town. Coincidentally, he has also participated in the investigation of ancient ruins similar to the ruins of this temple."
The red-haired girl poked Xia De in surprise, and Xia De quickly asked:
"Is there such a thing? Did Professor Manning mention a ruin similar to this one? Where is it exactly? Has anyone written a paper to study it?"
"I'm sorry, it's been many years. Why don't you write to Professor Manning and ask for advice? He might still remember it."
So, Shade still needs to visit Cat Tail Alley.
After saying goodbye to Professor Quinto, the red-haired girl took Shad's arm, and the two pretended to be ordinary tourists and officially began to tour the Golden Music Hall Museum.
The exhibition area of the museum about the history of the concert hall is not large. Most of the exhibits here are actually artifacts from the development history of Vesta City. After seeing the sketch of the temple ruins, Shade used telekinesis to draw the sketch in his notebook, and then drew the route that Professor Quinto had just "sleepwalked" on the sketch.
Since the professor was attracted in his dream but could never find the target, Xia De believed that the target was hidden, and the professor's constantly wandering route was actually always circling around the hidden target.
Therefore, when the route was drawn on the sketch of the temple, it was easy to see that Professor Quinto was generally wandering around the northeastern area of the temple ruins. After matching this area with the real Golden Music Hall, its general location is in the middle and east of the entire "Four-Leaf Clover".
That area was the backstage of the concert hall and a few offices. Shad and Miss Danister sneaked in to check it out, but they found nothing.
After the dragon beast from the past attacked the Golden Music Hall, the church had already investigated here many times. Although Shade's perception was different from that of ordinary people, he could not immediately detect the secrets that the church could not discover.
The two of them wandered around the Golden Music Hall together for the entire afternoon, and only returned to the Accordion Hotel near dusk like tourists out for a walk.
Miss Bell had woken up at this time. Although she still looked a little listless, she should be able to fully recover soon. However, she didn't remember anything about what she saw in Bronte's memory, and she didn't even remember what she said before she fell into a coma.
"I just remember seeing the shadow of the big tree and then I fainted immediately."
Miss Winslet thinks this is a good thing, indicating that the influence of evil spirits is not rooted in the soul, and the soul's spontaneous forgetfulness is actually a self-protection measure.
She is a master of soul research, so if she says it's okay, then it's okay. When she heard about what Shade and Miss Danister did in the afternoon, she asked with some sarcasm:
"So you guys just spent the whole afternoon together?"
"That's called an investigation, and we didn't waste any time."
The eighteen-year-old sorceress corrected, and Shade said:
"It's not that I have gained nothing. I will go back to Tobesk and ask about Professor Manning's ruins. Maybe the ruins he encountered are related to the ruins here."
Instead of staying for dinner, Shad chose to return home with the cat, planning to visit Professor Manning after dinner.
When he returned home, he found Vanessa and Hillis were also at home. When he heard that it was the Duchess who invited Vanessa to stay at 6 St. Teresa's Square on Sunday, Shad immediately knew her plan.
"I didn't realize that Carina had this hobby. She likes to accompany you with other girls, right?"
The blonde opera singer asked Shade curiously, but Shade couldn't answer this question.
Although it was the weekend, Luvia had to deal with matters of the Prophet Association and was unable to get home in time for dinner, and Karina would come a little later, so Shad had dinner with Vanessa and Hillis.
During dinner, Vanessa also asked Shade about the details of his recent relationship with Miss Winslet. When she heard that the witch was even willing to turn into a unicorn for Shade to ride, the Earth Witch showed an expression of admiration for Shade:
"I always thought Flora was a very stylish and elegant girl. Also, she only said before that she was studying unicorn transformation. This must have been successful in the last few months. She even painted an oil painting."
Hillis on the side just smiled, probably thinking about Vanessa's own affairs.
Seeing that Hillis was laughing so happily, Shade mentioned Margaret again:
"You and Margaret have been apart for so long. Is there no problem with her studies as an apprentice?"
"No problem, Sylvia is right there with her, and I meet her regularly in the council to check on her progress."
Vanessa didn't care much about it. Apprentices didn't have to be with their teachers all the time. She thought Margaret had no problem with self-discipline.
But that's not what Shade wants to talk about:
"I heard Margaret say, Hillis, you played some of Vanessa's memories for her?"
The two blonde ladies across the table blushed at the same time, and Vanessa asked first:
"Sirius, how could you do this? This is too much!"
The young girl pursed her lips and glanced at her best friend, then said to Shade:
"Okay, I admit I shouldn't have done this. Well, let me put it this way. I still have some Vanessa initiative here."
She stressed the word.
"I'll give you all the memories that I volunteered to give you now. But I'm worried that I made a mistake in the contents of the memories. Do you want to check them together after dinner? Or we can wait until Luvia and Miss Carina come back to check them together. This way it will be faster."
So Vanessa didn't dare to speak.
After dinner, Vanessa went to the Witch Council for a meeting, leaving only Shad and Hillis at home. The cat, who had eaten a full meal, lay on Shad's lap to rest a little sleepily. Although Shad planned to visit Professor Manning, he and Hillis hadn't talked for a long time:
"Vanessa really um... shared a lot of memories with you?"
The young blond girl was sitting next to him, tilting her head and looking at him with a smile:
"Guess what? But allow me to compliment you, Shade, you have a really nice figure."
"Sirius."
He then pulled Hillis's hand, and the latter symbolically resisted for a while before falling into Shade's arms. After a gentle kiss, Hillis looked at him with a dazed look, then took the cat, who didn't know what happened, from Shade's legs to the coffee table, and sat directly on him.
This made Hillis's head higher than Shade's. She hugged Shade's neck and took a deep breath:
"This life is so wonderful. Vanessa and I are now by your side. We have dinner at your house on Sunday nights when we have nothing to do. A year ago, I could not have imagined that the future would change like this. At that time, I was just a silly girl who occasionally wondered where my father had gone."
She kissed Shad's forehead, and Shad commented:
"Your father was a great man."
"But this cannot hide the fact that he abandoned me when I was little. I don't want to talk about it now."
Looking into her beautiful eyes, Xia De knew what she meant:
"But aren't you feeling a little uncomfortable right now?"
The blonde girl blushed slightly:
"You even know this? That's why I envy Vanessa and the others occasionally. It doesn't matter. I see you have a lot of tricks. Calculating the time, Vanessa will not be back for at least two hours after this meeting."
She looked down at Xia De and winked, unbuttoning her shirt shyly, then raised her hands and stretched them behind her head, trying to gather her hair. This action inevitably made her upper body move closer to Xia De.
"I can't compare to Miss Servet, so don't compare me to her."
Hillis said this with some worry, and Shade, who was gradually shrouded in shadow, immediately denied it:
"Of course I won't compare you to her, but."
"Shad, do you really want your mouth to keep talking?"
"Oh well."
So the cat, which was placed on the coffee table for no reason, was very curious about what Xia De was eating.
Shade's plan to go out tonight had been abandoned, but the meeting of the council went on as usual. No one asked for leave today, and the thirteen witches and their apprentices gathered together. The main agenda of the council was the same as last week, with Flora Winslet reporting on the investigation of Vestal Forest.
A lot of things happened during this week. Even though the report had been prepared, the reporting on the Bronte family, the Dead Apostles, etc. still took a long time.
The discovery of the suspected remains of the World Tree this morning surprised the other twelve witches. Adele Isabella even considered sending people to Vista Glades for support, but was immediately rejected by Flora Winslet.
Therefore, when the meeting ended and everyone left, it was already 9:30 in the evening.
Speaker Isabella was the first to walk out of the fog door behind her, followed by Megan, who was dealing with the angel-level relic with her.
The others also stood up and left with their apprentices, but Miss Winslet stopped Miss Sylvia and Vanessa. Miss Aurora, who was about to leave, winked at Carina, who was originally talking to Miss Belindel about the recent events in Moon Bay. She signaled the Countess of the South to go first. She smiled and said goodbye to Mother-in-law Cassandra and sat down again.
