He had noticed this pizza restaurant when he was strolling around with Elvira before. It was opened by an alchemist who was the runner-up in the chef competition a few years ago. People generally don't remember who the second place in the competition is, but this alchemist did it. He successfully made the wizards remember his name in another way.

The main thing is that it is really delicious, and there is a long queue during the day.

Normally this store would close at 10pm, but for some reason it was still open until the early hours of the morning today.

Just then the boss came over to deliver desserts, so Sean asked curiously, "Did the store change its business hours?"

The boss was a young man. He put the dessert on the table, pointed at his dark circles and said, "Do I look like I want to open the business?"

"Then why don't you close the store and go back to rest?" Sean asked.

"We were originally closed, but someone called us open and said there was business," said the boss.

It was no surprise that Sean knew it was Kate. He looked at Kate in surprise and asked, "Are you so proud?"

They didn't order much food, just enough for two normal adult men. No one would believe it if they told others that they got up from bed to open the door just for this little money, especially since this restaurant never lacks customers.

As soon as the boss heard it, he knew that Sean had misunderstood and said, "It's not the business you think it is."

The money for two standard packages is really not enough.

"What's that?" Sean wondered, "Do you have anything else to talk about?"

"We've already concluded the discussion." The boss said expressionlessly, "Mr. Shiguangzhe has bought my store."

Sean: "?"

Kate bought a store for a late night snack?

"I told you to have a small celebration," Kate said, and wiped her mouth with a towel calmly.

Sean: "..."

Is this the power of a domineering president?

After the boss left, Kate took out her phone and asked Sean, "Do you mind if I tell the teacher about Master Black?"

Sean: "Mr. Adefu?"

Kate nodded.

"Sure." Sean said, "As long as it's someone you can trust."

"Don't worry, in the entire town of Alola, no one is more trustworthy than my teacher." Kate said this seriously, but as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't wait to call Adev, regardless of whether the teacher was sleeping or not.

But it suffocated him.

Adefu was woken up by a phone call in the middle of the night. It was Kate. He was about to curse politely, but he heard Kate's excited voice: "Teacher, Master Black is resurrected!"

Adev: “Fuck!”

This powerful exclamation reached Sean's ears clearly.

Sean: "..."

As expected of a master and a disciple.

Adev on the other side perked up and asked, "Did the statue move?"

"It's not that the statue moved, it's something else," Kate replied. "It's hard to tell right now, but Lord Black made it clear that he would reappear when we meet next week."

Adev: “Okay, okay!”

Lord Black is alive and well, and there is hope for the revival of the Era of Scholars!

"What are we waiting for next week?"

Adev said decisively: "Tomorrow! I will send out the notice now and we will have the meeting tomorrow!"

Sean: "?"

No, wait a moment.

How come this comes with an advance?

……

Chapter 71 "Elviri's Identity" (Please read it~)

Sean didn't expect that an old man like Adev could be so flexible.

The scheduled meeting date was changed at will.

He's not ready yet!

So Sean quietly but seriously reminded Kate: "Don't disrupt Lord Black's plan."

It was agreed to be next week, and there are only a few days left. A mature wizard should be steady and calm. And what if Lord Black has other things to do in the meantime?

Going to the meeting would delay himself, and not going would be breaking his promise. Wouldn't that make things difficult for old man Blake?

Kate reacted quickly and nodded solemnly: "You are right."

Don't get carried away.

It would seem as if they were forcing Lord Black to attend the meeting, which was very rude.

Last time it was the teacher who told him not to get excited, this time it was his turn to persuade the teacher. Kate said to Adev: "Teacher, let's not change the time. Let's not make it difficult for Master Black."

"...That's true." Adefu also realized that he was impulsive, and cast an ice cone spell on himself. He quickly calmed down and said, "Then let's do this. We won't change the big time, but the small time."

"Little time?"

"The meeting originally scheduled for 7pm has been changed to 10am."

Kate: "..."

Sean: "..."

A small change doesn’t count as a change, right?

Adev sighed, "I can't help it. I really miss Master Black so much. Kate, you should understand my feelings very well."

Of course Kate understood, she understood it perfectly. If Sean hadn't reminded him that it was inappropriate to do so, he would have even wanted to add up the times the teacher had proposed twice - to make it ten o'clock tomorrow morning. No one in the world wanted to see Lord Black earlier than him.

It had nothing to do with the third level of the Upper Temple, it was mainly because he admired Lord Black and wanted to complete the mission.

The master and the disciple exchanged a few more words and decided not to tell anyone else about this for the time being, and to give everyone a surprise during the abstinence day celebration.

And just in case - just in case, Lord Black doesn't show up, so that everyone won't be rejoicing in vain.

After hanging up the phone, Adev got up and prepared for the meeting.

It was still early, and he could at least sleep for a few more hours. Sufficient sleep was very important for the elderly, but Adev didn't want to sleep. He felt that he couldn't sleep either. Lord Blake had actually contacted them on his own initiative tonight. It was such a big deal, and he was very restrained not to wake up his wife to dance with him, which was already very important.

You can see the stars at night in Alola Town. Adev, wearing his pajamas and walking with a cane, walked to the window sill and looked up at the beautiful starry sky. Through the starry sky, he seemed to see Blake's vague yet familiar face, his old but strong eyes full of expectation and emotion.

Lord Black is back, can the Era of the Scholar be far behind?

"Ah."

Sean from the pizza shop sneezed again.

"Do you have a cold, kid?" Kate asked.

"Wrong, someone is thinking about me again." Sean said.

Kate rolled her eyes, thinking that it was almost the same as if someone scolded you.

With his rich life experience and sharp eyesight, even without careful observation, he could see that the relationship between Sean and Elvira was not simple.

Elvira tried to talk to Sean several times tonight, but she hesitated every time.

Sean was the same. He kept glancing at Elvira, but he never took the initiative to talk to her.

Clearly, something was wrong between the two.

Based on his understanding of Elviri, the girl would definitely wonder why this damn guy hasn't come to her to admit his mistake, and then curse Sean a hundred times in her heart before she could temporarily vent her anger.

In fact, Sean may not be wrong in this matter, and neither may Elvira. What they both want is an attitude from the other.

Kate has little contact with Sean and has not yet figured out his character, but Elviria is unlikely to take the initiative to find Sean. As a former direct member of the Seraph family, Elviria is no less arrogant than a certain old guy. If you don't believe me, go ask other wizards who tried to chat up the girl and see if any of them has got her contact information?

Sean seemed not to believe it and took out his cell phone to take a look.

In the end, there was still no text message from Elvira.

He thought his phone might be broken and decided to buy a new one.

Kate was almost done with her midnight snack and was about to ask the boss to clear the table, but when she stood up, she suddenly remembered one more thing.

"By the way, did you know about the theft in the library on the third floor of the Temple?"

"I know."

Sean asked, "What's wrong?"

He looked as if it had nothing to do with him.

But soon, Kate's next words made him realize that he was involved in this matter.

"Now that Lord Black has awakened, he must know who stole the book," Kate said.

Nothing can be hidden from Lord Black within the temple.

In addition, Lord Black showed up this time to tell everyone the way to enter the upper echelons, which means that he most likely already knew that the Art of Old Tongues had been taken away. Even if he did not see the process with his own eyes, he must know where that person put the book. By working his way back, the Dawn Council could easily find out the person's true identity.

Sean: "..."

Careless.

He forgot that Lord Black was omnipotent.

There is no way to shirk this matter, otherwise it would be equivalent to lowering one's prestige——

You can't even take care of your own territory, and you still dare to say how powerful you are?

It just makes people feel that he is old and no longer capable.

Sean also didn't doubt the ability of the Dawn Conference. Once he left any clues, they would find out about him sooner or later.

At this moment, there is only one way left.

Kate asked, "Did Lord Black tell you who stole the book?"

Sean calmed himself down and replied calmly, "Me."

Kate: "?"

He was immediately overwhelmed by Sean.

"Really you? Don't joke." Kate said.

This matter is no small matter.

Sean said, "I'm not kidding. I was indeed the one who took the Book of Old Words."

Kate didn't understand: "No, if you want to read a book, just go and read it openly. Why do you have to steal it?"

Sean asked back, "Why must it be stealing?"

"The Temple clearly stipulates that books in the library cannot be taken away at will, and even if taken away, they are not allowed to be taken away for more than three days. You took the Book of the Old Words, so one day is too much," Kate said. "If you don't follow the rules, what else is that but stealing?"

Sean brought himself up again: "What if Lord Black asked me to steal it?"

Kate: "?"

"What a joke!"

Kate thought Sean was talking nonsense: "Lord Black would let you steal books?"

"What? Do you suspect I'm lying?" Sean thought Kate didn't believe him, so he used his trump card and testified against himself.

But Kate slammed the table so hard that the egg tarts on the plate bounced up. She said angrily, "What's wrong with you? Lord Black trusted you and gave you this task. But you said Lord Black asked you to steal the book. I think you don't understand at all. How can Lord Black's work be called stealing?"

Sean: "?"

Isn't that what you called "stealing"?

Sean almost couldn't react to the change in his expression.

How come Kate, the boss of a big company, is just like Sopea, changing his face so quickly that after a scolding, it becomes his fault.

Sean was both angry and amused: "Are all you older people like this?"

Whenever he sees that the situation is not right, he immediately takes the opposite side.
