Chapter 2581 Failed Visit and Cemetery in the Forest
Although it was a card of gamble, since the special rule had been activated, Shade put down the hidden card that was about to be turned over, and drew the third card with Miss Bell.
Both of them chose to stop and then showed their hands together.
"Star 5, Moon 11, Moon 4, 20 o'clock."
Miss Bell said, and then saw that there were two special cards among the three cards in Shad's hand:
“普通牌星辰9，太阳3【创始·银月】，花朵8【旧大陆东部风貌·提斯湖】。因为你抢先开牌，所以第三张牌的特殊效果无效。总点数为9+3+8=20点。将太阳3调整为太阳4，因此总点数21点。”
He kissed the [Founding Silver Moon] in his hand, and then handed the card to Miss Bell:
"The game is over, I win."
"Yes, it's a pleasure to play this game with you."
The young witch apprentice was extremely excited holding the cards in both hands, and she didn't feel like she had lost the game at all. So Shade waved her hand, and the remaining five cards in the deck, Balance, Darkness, Death, Earth, and Light, all flew out by themselves and floated towards her.
At that moment, Shad felt like the girl across the table was really about to faint.
"Why do I feel that these eight cards are enough for Shade to deceive your apprentice?"
The red-haired girl acting as the referee spoke softly, and the gray-black-haired witch rolled her eyes at her:
"Do you know how much wealth those eight cards add up to?"
She understood the feelings of her apprentices very well, as they all had their own passionate hobbies.
"No matter how valuable it is, it won't be as valuable as Xia De's other properties."
The red-haired sorceress then said while holding the teacup, thinking of Shade's shares in the academy. Seeing her friend looking at her in surprise, she smiled and asked:
"Why, do you think that Shad is really a gigolo of Carina Cavendish? He is much richer than the Duchess."
"No, I always thought you were giving pocket money to your students."
"Miss Winslet!"
Shade, who was looking at the picture of [Legendary Race·Elves], said hurriedly. The witch covered her mouth and laughed, feeling that such a life was really interesting:
"I owe you six paintings now. Why don't we wait and see if we can get a set of 12 before the matter in Vista Grove is over? I'm really looking forward to having you as my model."
Xia De had not planned to stay for dinner that night, but now he not only had dinner but also played Rhodes. Therefore, by the time he returned home after losing the crystal slipper, it was already 7:30 in the evening.
I was worried that the cat would be hungry because it didn't eat at night, and then I was worried that the clever cat would be full because it opened the cat food bag without permission. Fortunately, when I came down from upstairs, I saw the lights on the second floor, and then I saw Luvia and Dorothy were there.
The cat, who heard the footsteps, had already jumped up the stairs to greet Shade. The purple-eyed girl and the writer also stood up and gave him a hug when Shade entered the room:
"You're back so late. Is the matter in Vista Forest so troublesome? Do you need my or Leicia's help? Call Grace and Helen to open a passage over there. I can build a passage by touching the tree hole statue you mentioned."
Dorothy asked, and Shad shook his head, not wanting to say that he was playing cards tonight:
"I just found some strange things, things related to ethics. Want to listen to them? Although I don't understand them either."
"of course."
Luvia's right index finger slid across Shade's chest, her purple eyes smiling:
"Why else would we be here tonight?"
Because he arrived at the Accordion Inn very late on Monday morning, Shad was determined to get up early on Tuesday to impress Miss Danister, who had praised his "diligent study" the previous night.
Therefore, when Shad got up at 6:30 in the morning, he also woke up Dorothy and Luvia who were sleeping beside him. Compared with Shad who usually got up at 6:30, Luvia who went to work at 9 o'clock and Dorothy who was a "freelancer" did not like to get up so early. In addition, they played until late last night, so they went to the bathroom to wash up until Shad made breakfast.
By the time they had breakfast at eight in the morning, Shade had even returned from Midhill Castle:
"Sister Defulin is not at the mountaintop sacrificial site, but I left her a letter. I think she will agree to lend me her eyepatch."
"Shad, Sister Defulin is a very respectable person. Don't bully her like this."
Dorothy persuaded, and Shad asked doubtfully:
"I just borrowed the eyepatch. Why do you think I'm bullying her? And I can't beat Sister Devlin at all."
After saying goodbye to Luvia and Dorothy at home, Shad finally set off for Vesta Glade. But he took Mia with him that day, because Luvia had to attend a study report meeting of the Prophet Association today, and Dorothy had to go home to visit her mother, so they had no time to help take care of the cat.
This was also the first time that Shad took Mia to the Vesta Woods, so after crawling out of the tree hole in the ruins, he glanced in the direction of the city from afar, and then planned to take the cat to visit the elf lady in the forest.
"But there must be a reason for a visit. I haven't found those antique arrows yet. I brought her some snacks. I said it was specifically to thank her for her help at the old Bennett house."
Xia De was actually curious about Mia's attitude towards the elf girl.
But unfortunately, the elf was not in the flower field, nor in her beautiful tree house. Shade put down the snack and decided to wait. Maybe the elf lady was just collecting dew in the early morning and would be back soon.
But he waited for twenty minutes without seeing any sign of the elf. When the cat finally couldn't help but try the purple morning glory hanging on the wooden door, Shade finally gave up:
"Please smell whether there is a familiar smell here."
But before leaving, Shade put the cat down on the wooden platform in front of the tree house, hoping that the cat could help. The cat, reluctant to walk on its own, sniffed around and actually ran to the door of the tree house.
It ran up neatly and jumped up to the chair outside the window, and then jumped onto the table outside the window. Then it stood next to the snacks that Shade put down, turned around and squatted there, looking at Shade pitifully. Then Shade knew that this cat could not help.
Five minutes after Shade and Mia left, Shade, who had controlled the illusion to leave, walked out from under the tree again, looked up at the tree house, and left only after making sure that no one was there. He got up early in the morning and didn't want to arrive at the hotel so late again.
Ten minutes after Shad left, the elf girl carefully carried the toothbrush and the tooth mug and jumped down from the crown of the tree where the tree house was located.
"Shad is really..."
She looked in the direction where Xia De left with some dissatisfaction, then smiled and extended her hand towards the dessert that Xia De brought.
In short, after all the trouble, when Xia De finally arrived at the Accordion Hotel, it was already 9:13 in the morning.
When he knocked on the door and entered Miss Danister's room with Mia, the red-haired sorceress who had seen this cat many times was not surprised, but the round-faced owl standing on the back of the sofa and explaining something to his apprentice was immediately attracted:
"Good morning, oh, what a beautiful cat~"
The chubby, round-faced owl flapped its wings and flew towards him, and Mia, who was standing on Shad's shoulder, suddenly looked sharp.
But before the cat could pounce, the owl transformed into a witch with gray-black hair in mid-air and sat on the sofa:
"This is your pet cat. I've never seen such a lovely cat!"
"Yes, I always thought that Mia must be the cutest cat in the world."
When it comes to this topic, Shade is quite confident. Of course, he didn't come here today to discuss cat-raising experience with Miss Winslet. He then asked Miss Winslet to help take care of Mia today, and the witch gladly accepted:
"Come to think of it, you said that you didn't learn Transfiguration-Cat on purpose, so you didn't learn it because you have a cat, did you?"
She asked jokingly, a question Shad refused to answer.
Of course, Mia was not happy to be separated from Shade in a strange place, but she finally squatted on the back of the sofa pitifully and watched Shade and the red-haired girl leave.
The destination of the two was the cemetery of the Bennet family, and the two ladies had already found out the location of the cemetery. Although Shad once said that he would visit the public cemetery in every city he visited, he did not plan to go to the public cemetery in the "Music City" for the time being.
Thanks to the dense woodlands surrounding the city and the fact that the "Bennett" was once a traditional local noble in Creekwood Town, the Bennetts not only have an ancestral home but also a small family cemetery.
But the cemetery was not near the old Bennet house, but deep in the woods. It was the land once owned by the Bennet family. Although the land was taken away along with the noble title, at least the cemetery still belonged to them.
A winding forest path leads to the cemetery from the northern edge of the city. Since only a few people such as lumberjacks and hunters pass by on weekdays, the path in the forest looks semi-abandoned.
Shade and Miss Danister didn't waste too much time, and arrived at the small cemetery surrounded by iron fences at 11 a.m. According to their investigation, this cemetery was established three hundred years ago by the first "Baron Bennet".
However, the Bennet family has always had a small number of members, and according to custom, all family members are buried in the underground cemetery, so the cemetery looks shabby and small. As time goes by, although the family's fortunes have changed, this place has remained unchanged.
