Chapter 200: A late night visit
"This……"
White and Robert made shocked expressions at the same time. They had a lot of conjectures, but they never thought that Dark's Christmas reciprocal gift would be two notebooks!
Robert asked in astonishment, "Why did he send us notes?"
White's face became ugly: "Maybe in his opinion, this is what we need."
Robert shrugged. "He definitely doesn't know how hard we were studying when we were locked up. This notebook is of limited use to us."
White opened the Arithmetic Notes in his hand and said, "This is the photocopy version. The original should be the notes he took during class. From the beginning of the first class to the end of our last class, it probably includes the notes from all the arithmetic classes in the entire semester"
But after flipping through the pages, he suddenly fell silent!
Robert asked in confusion; "What's wrong, White?"
White: "I don't understand anything from the notes."
Robert: "What?"
White; "I can't understand any of it! It's obviously the notes of the first semester, but I can't understand it???"
"No way……"
Robert also hurriedly flipped through his Potions Notes.
It was fine at first, but when it got to the later part of the notes, there was suddenly a lot of beyond the syllabus knowledge mixed in!
From the notes, he could clearly feel that Dark's potion knowledge was rapidly improving.
He felt like if he could study the notes thoroughly, he would definitely benefit a lot!
"White." Robert looked at White and hesitated: "Although it’s very impressive, we will learn these things in the second semester, right?"
White thought for a while, then nodded, "We should."
If Dark was one year ahead of them, then it was really shocking.
Robert breathed a sigh of relief: "Then it's enough if we listen to the class carefully next semester. If you let me study by staring at a notebook by myself, I really can’t do it.”
White: "Me too. Besides, I have stuff to do tomorrow."
Robert: "What's stuff?"
White: "Re-entering the secret passage!"
...
Noble House tower.
Dark flipped through "Ali baba's Fourteen Forms of Dragon Slaying" with some interest.
After he received this gift, he thought about it, and went to Traveller Street to photocopy two notebooks for White and Robert.
After receiving Gifts, naturally he had to reciprocate.
As for what White and Robert would do with the gifts after they received them, it had nothing to do with him.
As of now, he had received a ton of Christmas gifts from the first-year Noble House students who have returned from Traveller Street.
Although they were all gifts like chocolates, candies, cookies, etc., the amount of Christmas gifts from the whole class was huge.
So much so that he was already thinking about whether he should call Dianna over to deal with it.
Thinking carefully.
The four most useful gifts received this Christmas were:
①Dragon's Reverse Scale
②Magic Ring
③Blessing of the Wind
④Ancient Gold Coin
...
In terms of quality, it could only be described as a "great harvest".
But Dark always felt like he was missing something.
He tapped on the book, a little distracted.
This book "Ali Baba's Fourteen Forms of Dragon Slaying" told a story that happened in an ancient civilization in the last century.
Ali Baba, a woodcutter who was born into poverty, accidentally stumbled into the labyrinth of the Fairy King on his way to chop wood.
He went through hardships, broke out of the maze, and obtained the treasures of the fairy king.
The fourteen evil dragons, who had been coveting the Fairy King's treasure, went after Ali Baba upon hearing the news. In order to protect the city threatened by the evil dragons Ali Baba had to use the Fairy King's treasure and killed the fourteen dragons in fourteen ways!
The whole story was simple, but the narrative was very detailed and vivid. It had a detailed description of the cultural background and the environment of the world at that time. It was not only a best-selling story, but also a study book that could lead people into the world of the book and experience the rise and fall of the ancient kingdom.
Through the entertainment on the surface, much could be learned from within.
Dark read the first volume and closed his eyes for a moment.
Two minutes later, he opened his eyes, ready to continue reading the second volume.
But as soon as he opened the second volume’s table of contents, a light from outside the window flew straight in through the half-opened window.
Dark glanced at it and lowered his guard.
It was a small magical spirit in the shape of a griffin, one of Principal Arte’s magical spirits.
At the sorting ceremony, this was the little spirit who gave him the sorting card, so he had a deep impression of it.
"What's the matter?" Dark's tone was rather soft.
The Griffin circled the room a little, as if to check whether there was anything indecent.
After confirming, it flew back to Dark, and began to glow and change.
As the luminous body grew longer and longer, a soul-stirring body appeared in front of Dark.
It was Principal Arte herself.Even without makeup, she was still beautiful.
"Merry Christmas! Demon." Principal Arte spoke through this temporarily formed body.
Dark finally remembered what he had missed.
He shrugged and said, "Late blessings, Principal. Mhm, Merry Christmas."
Principal Arte tucked a strand of silver hair that was scattered on her chest back behind her head, a look of fatigue on her face; "I'm sorry, but I've been very busy these days."
So the you from last night also wasn’t you?
I’m really impressed, Cynthia Saint Arte.
Dark recalled what happened last night and thought.
Principal Arte ignored his strangeness and said with concern: "Have you found the treasure left by Alvette?"
Dark shook his head: "I’m going to look for it tomorrow, just to pass the time."
Arte: "That’s reasonable."
Dark: "Principa why don’t you directly tell me what the treasure is, to satisfy my love for my mother?"
→ Once he knows, he won’t have to go.
Arte shook her head and said: "I don't have the hobby of peeping into other people's secrets. Whether it's Alvette or Bright, their treasures are reserved for the fated students. It's already not appropriate that I’m giving you the treasure map directly. As for the secret of the treasure, you need to find and crack it yourself."
Crack?
Dark caught another key word.
But since Principal Arte couldn’t provide information about the treasure, Dark hoped that she could quickly tell him why she was here and then leave.
But Principal Arte seemed to want to have a long chat with him tonight.
It was like an old person who had lived alone for a long time suddenly caught a child who entered their backyard by mistake, they just couldn't stop chatting with the child.
Believing that the young should respect the old, Dark accompanied her until it was ten in the night.
Then there was a knock on the door.
Just when Dark was wondering who would visit so late, he saw Principal Arte turn back into a griffin, and flew to the top of the wardrobe to hide.
