Chapter 2711 Professor Quinto
The eighteen-year-old red-haired girl reminded:
"Although I also think that what Miss Bell saw might be our biggest enemy this time, the premise is that nothing more terrifying will appear in this forest."
She shook her head violently, and the witch asked Shade who was slowly scratching the cat's head;
"Speaking of which, your perfume is running out."
She pointed to the almost empty bottle on the coffee table:
"Since it's a relic derivative, the essence in this bottle should be replenishable, right? What do you need to do? Can we help? This bottle is very important to the current operation. Let's replenish it before the next enemy appears."
The "she" beside his ear chuckled, and Xia De subconsciously turned his head:
"I don't need your help with this. I will figure it out myself when I get home."
"Xia De, are you still going to be polite to us at this time?"
So Miss Winslet said a little angrily, but the red-haired girl, who probably guessed something, did not speak, but looked at Shad with the same pretended curiosity.
Xia De opened his mouth and finally said:
"This bottle can spontaneously transform the surrounding 'desire' into perfume, and, well, I feel lust works best at the moment."
The witch's face turned red immediately. No matter how bold she was, she was too embarrassed to say "I'll help you" or something like that.
Because of the chaos in the room that morning, Shade did not visit the old professor that Margaret mentioned. Miss Bell was still recovering from her injuries, and Shade also had to clean up the mess in the room, while the two ladies asked the parliament and the college for relevant information.
And although they did not leave the hotel, the girls who were responsible for gathering information in the city were still working.
Before lunch, a piece of news came. Although the news that the Brontë family was being hunted by the church had not been reported in the newspapers, it had spread throughout the city. York Brontë was considered to be the core figure in this incident, and there were even rumors that he had been shot dead.
Therefore, Miss Linda Bennet, the third daughter of the Bennet family, attempted suicide at home that morning. She chose to hang herself, but fortunately, this rich girl had no experience in suicide, so she was rescued in time by the maid at home.
This kind of secret matter should not have been spread outside, but after being rescued by the maid, Mrs. Bennet rushed back home and scolded her daughter on the sickbed. Then Miss Bennet ran to the roof of her own mansion and jumped down in front of at least ten passers-by.
Although she was lucky enough to hang on the tree in the yard with only minor scratches and soft tissue contusions, this shocking scene was still spread everywhere as the second news besides the big news of the Bronte family.
In a small city of this size, things like "love suicide" should have been a fresh topic for several weeks, but because the Brontë family's affairs were so horrifying, Miss Bennet's affairs were destined to become only a footnote in the big news this fall.
Of course, some people might say that Miss Linda Bennet is a person who is very loyal to love, but at least Miss Winslet still thinks she is a silly girl.
"Flora, I remember you told me that young girls are always easily deceived by men who look handsome and mysterious. Miss Bennet is a good example."
The red-haired girl at the table said this. The witch was about to nod, but immediately realized that she was talking about herself:
"Our situation is different."
She glanced at Shade with her knife and fork:
"Miss Linda Bennet has fallen in love with a man she doesn't know at all, but hasn't Carina and the princesses of the two countries helped verify Shade's safety?"
She always had a very magical way of thinking about things, but at least what she said did make sense.
The gloomy sky began to drizzle in the afternoon, but the rain was so light that Miss Owl thought she could fly away without worrying about getting her feathers wet.
The search and investigation of the Bronte family was carried out by the church. What Shad had to do in the afternoon was to meet the old professor who had participated in the construction of the Golden Music Hall.
Although Miss Owl wanted to go with Shade, she took the initiative to stay and take care of her apprentice:
"You two go ahead. I'm still worried about Charlotte's condition. Although she's fine after the examination, I don't think I can leave her today."
"Would you like to try the Sage-level relic [Soul Gem]?"
Xia De offered, but was immediately rejected. The Great Witch of Death was a person who was "very cautious" about relics, and she would never use them if she could avoid using them.
So that afternoon, it was Shad and Miss Danister who went out together. When they walked out of the hotel holding an umbrella, Shad looked back at the upstairs window with concern. He was also a little worried about Miss Bell's situation.
After they boarded the carriage, the red-haired girl said:
"Flora already suspects you are a Godcaller."
"Aren't you suspicious too?"
Shade asked, and the eighteen-year-old girl laughed:
"You know what? I used to sit alone in the college library, wondering how you managed to trick so many girls without causing a war between them. Now I almost understand that they are a little too unrestrained."
"Is this a compliment from you?"
She narrowed her eyes because of her smile:
"Xia De, don't use this method on me."
"Sorry, what?"
he asked with a smile.
"Well, I have to admit that some things in this world are just unreasonable."
Professor Quinto, who had retired from the Talmen Bridge History Institute, was currently living with his wife in an apartment in the southeast of Vista. Their children all worked in Willendale, and the retired history professor's pension was quite generous, so they were able to spend their old age in this city surrounded by forests.
Although today is Sunday, Professor Quinto was still not at home when Shade and Miss Danister came to visit. Of course, this was also because their visit was not scheduled in advance.
Fortunately, Professor Quinto's wife was still at home. When she heard that the two were researchers from Tobesk, she asked them to go to the Golden Music Hall to find Professor Quinto:
"After retirement, he still wanted to find something to do for himself, and now he is still a nominal researcher at the museum. He went to the museum in the Golden Concert Hall early in the morning, and he should still be there now."
Therefore, the two had to return the same way, but fortunately they had a lot of topics to talk about on the way. Although Xia De had been in the local area for nearly a month, this was his first time to enter the Golden Music Hall Museum.
Of course, museums require tickets, but fortunately, compared to performance hall tickets, museum tickets are not expensive. Although Xia De wanted to take a look around the museum, he still remembered the most important thing.
The arrows that the elf girl needed were unearthed from the ancient temple of the Tree Father. In addition, she learned in the morning about the terrible things that might exist in the local area, so it became particularly important to know the original appearance of this temple.
Of course, the Orthodox Church could not have been unaware that the Golden Music Hall was originally an ancient temple. But unfortunately, it seemed that the temple belonged to the "Father of the Infinite Tree", which was a secret known only to the elf girl, so the church's investigation had not yet reached Professor Quinto.
Margaret provided Shad with documents to prove that he was a young scholar visiting Willendel from Tobesk, and the eighteen-year-old Miss Danister was too young, so she served as Shad's "student" and "assistant", so at least for this afternoon, their identities were reversed.
They easily met Professor Quinto, who looked even older than Professor Manning. When he met Professor Shade and the others, he smiled and said that current historical research needed more participation from young people like them.
When Shade explained his purpose and mentioned that the original site of the Golden Music Hall was an ancient temple, Professor Quinto held a teacup in the museum's reception room with an expression of reminiscing about the past:
"That was nearly half a century ago. I was still very young at that time, as young as your students. I was lucky enough to follow my mentor who had passed away thirty years ago to the then Riverwood Town.
The city was not so big at that time, let alone so prosperous. The hotel we stayed in the town back then. Sorry, old people always like to talk about the past. Let’s get back to the topic.”
He looked around the room:
"I need to point out that the area of the Golden Music Hall today is larger than that of the temple back then. The buildings outside the concert hall were built outside the temple. The temple back then was roughly square with the main hall of the current music hall as the center.
When I came here with my mentor, construction was already underway. Cameras were still relatively backward at the time, so there are no photos of the original temple, but the construction team did have a rough sketch of the temple, which is in the museum, and you can go and see it yourself later.
Xia De signaled to his "assistant" beside him, who was holding a notebook and a pen, to record the content.
"So, Professor, during your investigation with your mentors, have you determined which god this temple belongs to?"
The old professor shook his head regretfully:
"No, we just found a lot of runes and murals with 'tree' as the theme, so this is probably a niche belief in the ancient times of Vestal Glades, representing the worship of forests and nature. However, considering the large scale of the temple, there should be a large settlement in the area centered on the ancient Riverwood Town. The many ancient relics excavated locally should be related to that settlement.
You should understand that people who live near mountains believe in mountains, and people who live near the sea believe in the sea. This is a very common nature worship. "
