Chapter 2424 Meris Book Club
"Grace! Helen!"
Xia De was surprised how they came. Grace heard the voice and turned around and said with a sweet smile:
"Good evening, sir. Helen and I haven't seen a young unicorn for hundreds of years. The elf lady just said that this is a population of Saint Byrons. So maybe we played with its ancestors in the Fifth Age."
"Good evening, sir!"
Helen in the black dress also spoke happily and explained why they were here:
"Xina received Megan's letter, and we learned that you were injured. Before we left last time, we went to the dragon's nest you mentioned and touched the statue, so we came here directly. No, we can't leave Middlesbrough for a long time, we will go back after dinner!"
As for how long they can stay there, Xia De did not comment, as long as the two sisters were happy:
"I'm fine, I just have a scar."
"That won't do!"
Helen had a lot to say about this:
"This will affect your feel for us!"
They walked towards Shade amid the trembling little princess and the elf girl's frightened expressions, but the little unicorn, who had finally "escaped", was obviously relieved.
"Good evening, kitty!"
Grace even greeted Mia on Shad's shoulder, but the cat just responded with a "meow", so this cat is much braver than the little unicorn. It may also be that it didn't realize who Grace and Helen were.
Anyway, the two sisters each held one of Shade's hands, and then licked the scar gently.
When the feeling of wenreshirun disappeared, when Xia De looked at his hand again, the blood color on the scar had disappeared, and the two scars shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disappeared completely in half a minute.
"Bloodsorrow is not as strong as us! Even before I met you, sir, it was not as strong as us!"
Helen said proudly, as if she wanted to be praised by Shade. Of course, she and Grace would not say that they only needed to touch the scar, and there was no need to touch it.
"Yes, you guys are amazing."
Xia De said with a smile, this is also true, humanoid relics are generally stronger than other relics of the same danger level. The Red Butterfly Twins, who are responsible for sealing the unknown-level relic [Life and Death], are the strongest angel-level, while Blood Sorrow is only at the sage level.
Not to mention the scars left behind, even if [Blood Sorrow] was right here, the two of them would dare to break it off directly.
During dinner, Grace and Helen sat on either side of Shad, and next to them were Luvia and Miss Swift, who were not afraid of them.
Because the Red Butterfly girls were on the east side of the dining table, even though Emilia was at the end of the east side of the dining table, the little unicorn still went around to the west side of the dining table to eat during dinner. But at least the witches didn't show too much worry about their appearance. After all, except for the owner of this house, the ladies had seen them when they were in Green Lake.
Xia De just hopes that this incident will not leave too much "childhood trauma" on little Lianna.
After dinner, the two sisters took Shad to a secluded corridor to talk to him for a while before saying goodbye to him. Then they returned to Middlesbrough with the desserts that Miss Belindel asked them to give to Mother-in-law Cassandra.
Xia De also hurriedly packed up, left the cat behind, and walked into the vast night fog with Megan. They didn't take the carriage because they didn't want to make too much noise.
“Are butterflies delicious?”
Megan asked suddenly. Xia De looked at her in surprise, but found that she was clearly smiling.
Thick fog covered the night sky, and the temperature dropped sharply after nightfall. There were even glowing snowflakes floating in the fog.
The snowflakes were not dense, but they were large. Shade caught one of them and watched it melt in his hand, while the light on the snowflake merged into the thick fog.
“It feels like each time the noise gets louder than the last.”
Megan continued, her scarf wrapped around the lower half of her face, the hood of her robe covering her brown hair and forehead:
"Although this luminous fog only appears in the urban area of Yuewan City, I heard that the light of the entire Yuewan area has caused a large-scale withering of food in this area. With Yuewan as the center, the number of people suffering from skin diseases and mental illnesses now known as 'daytime diseases' in the Old World has increased significantly."
She sighed slightly:
“I really don’t know what will happen next.”
"On the bright side, at least my psychiatrist friend's business won't be short of customers."
Xia De made a joke that was not funny, and after a pause, he said:
"Don't worry, I'm here."
"Yes, fortunately you are here."
She smiled and suddenly heard an unusual noise coming from the alley ahead. Then the two of them saw an abnormally huge "person" with a charred body, glowing body, stretched neck, and a drooping glowing head, rushing out from the alley.
"Lightbulb man."
Megan took Shad's hand and stepped aside, watching the five-member ring wizard team chasing out from the alley.
Behind the ring wizard in the front was floating a seven-ring life ring, and the thin rope in his hand created large areas of darkness as it danced.
So the monsters and the ring wizards ran into the depths of the fog again. No one noticed Megan and Shad, but both of them felt inexplicably heavy-hearted.
In such weather, few people would go out at night, which resulted in few shops on the street with lights on even at nightfall. This was completely different from the prosperous scene that Xia De saw when he first arrived in Yuewan.
The Meris Book Club, located in the south of downtown, was one of the few shops that still had its lights on on this Wednesday night. When Shad and Megan arrived, only a pub and a hotel were still open near the club. Shad went to look at the signs of the two shops and was relieved when he saw that there was no word "rose" on them.
The decoration of the "Melis Book Club" is very elegant and high-end. Even in the downtown area, this kind of small library-like institution must maintain the dignity of readers.
The door of the club is a single door, with frosted glass inlaid in the middle of the copper-colored metal door. The logos of books, coffee and cards are drawn on the door with embossed patterns, and the door handle is a simple long copper column with golden ends.
I opened the door, and as the bell rang, the rich aroma of coffee and black tea, along with a hint of paper, ink, and warm air, hit me in the face.
After entering the door, you will see the spacious interior of the club, with rows of bookshelves under the gas chandelier. The lady behind the small counter next to the door smiled and nodded at the two of them, so Megan took off her scarf and hood and handed over the club membership card she had obtained in advance.
Behind the counter was not a wall, but a wooden cabinet-style display case. In addition to the books, there were six special Rhodes cards sandwiched between glass plates on the cabinet.
Xia De's eyes were immediately attracted, but fortunately he remembered to do his business and did not linger in front of the counter to see what the "inventory" of the local store was like.
There were not many guests in the library. There were less than ten people on the first floor of the three-story building, and most of them were concentrating on staring at the books in their hands.
Shad and Nadia Foran agreed to meet on the second floor, but it was still early and the vigilant lady hadn't arrived yet. So Megan suggested that she and Shad separate for a while and each of them go to the library to check the situation:
"Of course, you can also go to the counter and take a look at the Rhodes cards sold here. Although they are just special cards with no special rules, they should still interest you."
She said this deliberately, and in order to prove his "innocence", Xia De took the initiative to point upwards:
"I'll go to the second floor to take a look. Don't underestimate my determination when it comes to important matters."
Megan seemed to be smiling happily.
The second and third floors of the club require higher-level memberships. The second floor is still lined with bookshelves, but there is a long table next to the table for people to sit down and copy books. The third floor is half bookshelves and half divided into more than a dozen soundproof compartments, so that people in need can talk in them.
Just as Xia De said, he separated from Megan temporarily and went to the second floor.
He had no particular purpose, just wandering casually between the bookshelves, occasionally stopping to read the words on the spines of books.
The books here are all in Carsonrick. Although the library is not big, the book categories it covers are very comprehensive. As Shade walked, he suddenly wanted to see if there was Dorothy's "Hamilton Detective Stories" here.
But he couldn't find it after searching the popular fiction section. He could only comfort himself by thinking that maybe the library had not yet included the newly translated novel.
I continued walking aimlessly among the bookshelves until my eyes swept across the bookshelves. On the bookshelf of the "Philosophy" category, I actually saw a book called "Love and Roses", with the subtitle in small print "Roses and Mermaids in Popular Culture".
"Oh?"
Xia De was immediately interested, so he reached out and pressed his finger on the top of the book spine and pulled it out. It was foggy and snowing outside at night, so this warm and comfortable library was more suitable for reading to kill time while waiting.
Just when Xia De took down the book with the gold-embossed title, the book in the same position on the opposite bookshelf was also taken down by another person.
Therefore, the two people in different aisles could see the person opposite them through the gaps between the books.
The top of his head was bald, with only a few hairy stubbles. His skin was dark, and his eyes were severely double-lidded. Although Shade couldn't see the whole body of the person opposite him due to the bookshelf, he was wearing an unusual brown old-fashioned robe that people in desert areas often wore.
Xia De was startled, then said softly:
"Mr. Sean Asmon?"
