Chapter 511 : The Elf Eunice
Chapter 511: The Elf Eunice
"At this time, Professor Eunice should have no class———"
As Janna stepped through the magic teleportation gate, she soon arrived at the wizard office area on the forty-first floor of the White Tower.
However, the moment she stepped into the office area, Janna suddenly felt as if her body had been struck by the 【Petrification Curse】—she was frozen in place, unable to move.
Of course, having already known this would happen beforehand, Janna did not panic. She simply stood quietly, without making a sound.
"Hello, apprentice. May I ask who you’re looking for?"
In less than ten seconds, a guide spirit in the form of a floating book flew up to her and asked politely.
"Hello, I’d like to see Professor Eunice-Gale. I have a question regarding Natural Magic and hope she could enlighten me."
Upon hearing that, the guide spirit rapidly flipped its pages and soon replied to Janna:
"Professor Eunice’s schedule is currently free. You may meet her. Please follow me."
As soon as the guide spirit’s voice fell, Janna regained control over her body. She immediately followed behind the guide spirit, walking through the labyrinthine wizard office corridors.
"Here we are. Please remain quiet once inside."
"Alright, thank you."
After about five minutes of winding through the pitch-dark corridors, Janna finally arrived at the entrance of Eunice-Gale’s office.
Unlike the surrounding darkness, the door to Eunice-Gale’s office was entirely composed of flowers and vines, giving off a refreshing fragrance and a faint luminescent glow.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Knowing that elves were a race that valued etiquette highly, Janna refrained from entering uninvited. She politely knocked and waited for a response from within.
"Rustle一"
Sure enough, the moment she knocked, the vines on the door reacted.
As the vines retracted swiftly, a moment later, an oval-shaped opening appeared on the “door,” just enough for a person to pass through.
"Was it you who just knocked?"
As Janna stepped through the opening, a crisp voice suddenly rang out above her head.
Looking up, she saw a tiny, palm-sized creature hovering in mid-air—a beautiful being with a pair of leaf-shaped wings, delicate features, and a dress entirely made of fresh flowers. It was gazing curiously at Janna.
"An actual fairy!"
Seeing the beautiful creature that perfectly matched the description of a “fairy” from 《Intermediate Biology》, Janna couldn’t help but feel a flash of wonder. It was her first time seeing such a rare species.
"You smell so nice! Just like the 【Forest of Nature】! Lilia loves it!"
Though fairies were generally known to be wary of humans, this one—Lilia—seemed to treat Janna as a kindred spirit. She fluttered happily around her, even perching on Janna’s shoulder at one point to sniff her hair with an entranced expression.
"Hello, my name is Janna-Roland. I’m here to see Professor Eunice-Gale—"
"So you’re the Janna-Roland!"
The moment Janna introduced herself, the fairy Lilia reacted as if she had discovered something astonishing, circling excitedly around Janna, completely ignoring the rest of her words.
"Lilia, stop causing trouble. Bring her in."
Hearing Eunice-Gale’s voice, the fairy who had been flitting about immediately quieted down and obediently hovered in front of Janna.
"Alright then, follow me. Eunice has been waiting for you inside."
Waiting for me?
Hearing the casual remark from Lilia, Janna—who hadn’t informed anyone of her visit—couldn’t help showing a flicker of doubt in her eyes.
"Could it be that Professor Eunice is also skilled in Divination Studies?"
Though questions arose in her mind, Janna didn’t voice them and simply followed Lilia into the office.
"Chirp–chirp一一chirp–chirp一一"
Just as she expected of a Green Elf, Eunice-Gale’s office was more like a massive botanical garden combined with a miniature zoo.
Everywhere she looked were magical plants, delicate birds, and rare medium-sized magical creatures—species that Janna had only ever seen illustrated in 《Advanced Biology Encyclopedia》.
"Hello, Professor Eunice."
Guided by the fairy, Janna soon saw Eunice-Gale tending to a large magical plant shaped like a giant trumpet flower.
"Mm, I know you. Have a seat first."
Even upon hearing Janna’s voice, Eunice-Gale didn’t turn around. She continued trimming the plant with full concentration.
"Alright, Professor."
Realizing that the professor might take a while, Janna sat down on a chair woven from vines and waited patiently.
"Would you like a snack?"
After about fifteen minutes, Eunice-Gale finally finished her task. She set the scissors aside and walked toward Janna with a smile.
"No need, Professor. I’ve already eaten—"
"Then have some tea. This is floral tea made from rose petal nectar—it tastes quite nice."
Janna accepted the elegant, lily-shaped teacup that Eunice-Gale handed her using the Wizard’s Hand spell. Under the professor’s expectant gaze, she took a sip.
"How is it?"
Eunice-Gale, seated across from her on another vine chair, looked at her with curiosity.
"It’s delicious. Besides the rose fragrance, there’s also a refreshing fruity note. It’s better than any floral tea I’ve had before."
"Haha, I’m glad you like it."
Smiling, Eunice-Gale raised her own cup and took a sip, closing her eyes in satisfaction.
"It’s a pity though—it’s still not as good as the floral tea from the 【Forest of Nature】."
Setting her cup down on the round table, Eunice-Gale looked up at Janna.
"So, tell me—what brings you here today?"
Hearing that, Janna also placed her cup down and looked at Eunice-Gale seriously.
"Professor Eunice, I came today to ask for your guidance regarding the 【Natural Affinity】 talent and matters related to cultivating the 【Fallen Star】."
