Chapter 321: Into the Forest (1)
Everly flew to New Osebuch State with Misha and Orff.
She never returned to classes.
Instead, armed with a medical certificate obtained through the power of money, she applied for a leave of absence from the university on the grounds that she was suffering from health problems and required a prolonged period of recuperation.
The reason was simple.
The event she had been waiting for was almost here.
December 11 of this year would mark the last Transit of Venus of this century. If she missed this opportunity, the next Transit of Venus wouldn’t occur for well over a hundred years.
Neither Everly nor Old John would still be alive by then.
The journey to find the Fountain of Youth would be dangerous, and no one could predict how it would end. Besides, Misha herself had no interest in the Fountain of Youth.
So, although Misha was more than willing to accompany Everly on the adventure, Everly refused.
