Chapter 191 Chronology

On the bustling streets of Tivian, Dorothy the Corpse Coachman was driving a black carriage along the road, heading towards the northern suburbs. In the carriage, Dorothy and Nephnessy, who had just been picked up, were sitting inside.

"Huh... I'm finally done. I didn't expect that I'd run into trouble right after I got back..." Nephnis, who was sitting in the middle of the car and had taken off her veil and headscarf, said with a long sigh of relief. While speaking, she looked out the window at the familiar streets, smelled the faint pungent smell of grass, and frowned slightly.

"Well, the air here is still as bad as ever. I used to think that it was a city and maybe the air would be like that, but after walking around I found that the air in Tivian is really bad..." Nephnis complained about the city's air, while Dorothy on the other side responded lightly.

"The places we went to were either remote areas or tourist cities. The environment was better without heavy industry. In addition, we came back because something happened in Tivian. It was not surprising that we encountered this kind of situation as soon as we came back. Who told those Spider-Men to be unable to hold back?"

"Spider-man...have those guys who assassinated Duke Barrett started any action again? Are we coming back this time specifically to deal with them?" Listening to Dorothy's words, Nephnesse also said curiously, and Dorothy answered quickly.

"Whether we will deal with those Spider-Men in the end, we don't know yet, but there is a high probability that we will be inseparable from them. The possibility of a direct confrontation in the end cannot be ruled out. In short, we need to be mentally prepared now and be ready to experience the situation on the night when Duke Barrett was assassinated again..."

"What happened on the day when Duke Barrett was assassinated... well... if that's the case, I think I won't go home for the time being. I'll wait until everything here is settled and I don't have anything else to do outside. I'll go home after everything has settled down temporarily..."

After listening to Dorothy's words, Neveu thought for a while and then spoke. Dorothy thought for a while after listening to her words, and then spoke in response.

"Your idea is not bad. The current situation is still unclear. It's not time to return to public life. Let's wait and see the situation." Dorothy said this. She and Nefernis were in a similar situation now. Although she had returned to Tivian, she did not tell Gregor that she was back and had not met him. If she didn't tell him, in case she had something to talk about, it would be difficult to find an excuse.

“I hope that after this is over, I can stabilize for a while. I will attend classes normally in the second half of the semester. I don’t want to miss classes again.

"Based on the current situation, I can say that I haven't attended classes for more than half a year. I originally planned to miss a lot of study abroad classes. According to the schedule, the professors will be back in a few days. When the next semester starts, they will arrange to write a paper based on the topics I learned from the study abroad in the first half of this year... I missed more than half of my study abroad classes... I don't know how to write it when the time comes..."

Neveu said this with a hint of distress while covering her forehead, while Dorothy shrugged and spoke directly.

"Didn't we encounter more historical information along the way than what you learned from them? Can't we just pick any topic for the paper? For example, the secret history of the Baruch dynasty of Adus... For example, the past of the pirate island Mon Carlo... Aren't there a lot of topics to choose from? If you need it, I can also guide you~"

"Well... please don't joke with me, Miss Dorothy. If you don't pay attention to what you wrote, it will be spread to others! This can't be considered a thesis!"

Neveu spoke to Dorothy anxiously, and Dorothy smiled and did not respond. In this way, the carriage they were riding drove out of the city and headed towards the northern suburbs.

Since Neveu's house in the city had been robbed, it was not safe. Now that the golden scepter had been moved to a safer place with a ceremony, it had almost been vacant. Neveu had no plans to go back there when she came back, and she had no plans to go back to her home in Tivian at the same time, so she simply found a place to rent near the school, which was relatively close to the school and Dorothy's residence.

After arriving at the northern suburb of Tivian, where the environment was better, Dorothy first said goodbye to Nefernis, and then returned to her residence at No. 17 in Greenshade Town. After tidying up here, she went out again and went to the Nanno University campus not far away alone.

…

During the day, the bright sunshine in the sky shines on the century-old buildings of the King's Campus of Holy Crown University. Between the long corridors and on the wide green lawns, most of the students who were originally bustling about and resting have now disappeared. As it is the holiday period, Holy Crown University is much quieter than usual.

Even during the summer vacation, in order to facilitate the research work of some teachers who stayed on campus, the library of St. Crown University was still open, but the flow of people was much less than in the past, and Dorothy was happy with this.

It was a quiet afternoon, and the sun shone through the huge windows into the open space. Rows of huge bookshelves formed a maze of books. The huge library seemed even more lonely and quiet without the students coming and going as usual. Dorothy was now sitting in the quiet corner where she liked to sit in the past, slowly flipping through the book in her hand.

Although Dorothy appears to be reading a book now, her thoughts are still spread to many places. At this moment, in the library, in the archives, and throughout the school, Dorothy's corpses are everywhere. Some of these corpses are reading with Dorothy in the library, some are walking in the campus, and some are hiding in the archives, quietly flipping through various archival materials.

At this time, Dorothy was following the clues Misha left for her and continuing to investigate matters related to Barrett's research partner. Misha had found the clues in the library of Guanda University, and Dorothy was going to start from here.
