The Raven hadn't actually seen the circle with her own eyes—she hadn't actually been able to break in. The one she had seen was the one Ed had drawn.

She wasn't one to give anything lightly, let alone for the benefit of others, so Sachses explained it to her very clearly. She knew Felicity's "mission", she knew the existence of the circle, and she knew its usefulness...... But it wasn't until Ed drew it before her eyes that it dawned on her that she might have been exposed to the circle even earlier.

It was a note left by Inglis in the Valley of Enshi. The content is vaguely written, as if a complex circle is broken down in various ways, looking for the meaning of each rune and each connection little by little, even from the beginning to the end, it is impossible to tell what kind of circle it is, because they can have an infinite number of combinations, and some of them, even Inglis has not been able to solve the mystery.

Inglis wasn't the type of mage who would break into a heavily guarded temple in order to study a circle. Thinking about the teleportation passage that did exist in the Valley of Yuanzhi from the old mage's laboratory to Felicity's island in the middle of the lake, the relationship between these two men was perhaps better than the nodding acquaintance they showed out...... At the very least, they have a fair degree of trust in each other.

The White Crow sneered at this for a while. And that notebook, although she had studied it for a while, had not been able to get more results than Inglis, and had long since been thrown aside.

"I've actually read that notebook," said Is, "while I'm stuck in the library in Enshiya...... Some of them have to do with spatial connections, but Inglis seems to be more concerned with other things. I can go get it back, it should be of some use. ”

Ed nodded, then shook his head immediately.

Such a notebook is certainly useful, but ......

"Are you sure the crow told you this for no other purpose?" he whispered.

“...... I thought you wouldn't have such doubts. Is's tone was overtly sarcastic, "Hasn't she gained your trust? ”

"To be honest, I have a lot of suspicions. Ed smiled wryly, but didn't hear anything else: "I doubt she's trying to trap you somewhere, keep you safe, or make you her the dragon to herself, and I doubt she's going into Felicity's abode...... Even a few years ago they set up a defense there for reasons that were not as simple as they themselves claimed, because if it was just to find that correct symbol, they wouldn't have had to hide it from me in the first place. I even suspect Felicity, or someone else in the temple...... What we've discovered now, is it something she's spent so long not being able to discover? We can all do it, but she can't do it? But she's left so few records and clues......

He raised his hand to cover his face, his fingers pinching the corners of his forehead in a dull pain. The more he knew, the more he thought, the more questions he had, and more uneasiness popped up with him, like a weed growing wildly in the summer, spreading in the blink of an eye.

So he didn't want Isis to leave...... He didn't know if he would be stuck again and never come back.

He already knew that the future was full of possibilities. Terry had already unconsciously slipped out when they first met, and in the world he was born into, that plane, Iss was clearly alive and well, but he and Ed no longer seemed to be so close. It's just that what he saw in that gray world was so shocking that it overwhelmed all other possibilities, and it was imprinted in his mind very deeply.

He was scared all the time, afraid that that scene would become a reality.

"Why don't we go together. "It won't take much time anyway." We can use the passage directly on Felicity's island. ”

When he realized what he was so nervous about, Is's feelings became even more complicated. He should have been a little happy...... But another kind of irritation arose.

It's not like he can't even protect himself.

"If you're too busy, why don't you go and see what the elves in the city are doing lately. He didn't hesitate to refuse, "Naria and Balk's people are still a little weaker to keep track of the elves. ”

"But I ...... too," Ed said blankly.

In terms of "tracking", he will only be weaker!

"You can use your original spell 'Aura of Trust' to make those elves say nothing to you. ”

Isis threw down the sentence and shook it behind him, "Is there anything else to eat?"

For some reason, his mood suddenly improved again, as if blocking Ed from speaking was enough for him to vent.

Ed, who noticed this, watched him slump into the kitchen and told him in a loud voice, "Naria left you a ...... of grilled lamb chops."

Iss stopped by the door. Nana, who was squatting on the kitchen table and nibbling on the lamb chops, also stopped at the same time, looked at him with wide eyes, vigilantly judged his next step, and decisively threw down the lamb chops when his face sank, and rushed to the window at the other end of the long table like a wind, hitting the glass...... Then it just crashed out.

Isis walked over and silently looked at the intact glass, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

How many amazing abilities does this little thing hide? When it really grows, the world ...... Can it really accommodate it?

·

In addition to such worries, the task of teaching the dead child, who seems to never have enough to eat, can and cannot eat, can only be given to Naria first.

Isis returned to Enshi Valley that afternoon. Alone.

The passage in Felicity's room was hidden in a closet—yes, like the "secret passages" of the common aristocracy, rather than the more common ones used by spellcasters, simply placing a circle on the ground. The strange hobbies of the independent and special "Sage" often make people ...... I don't know how to describe it.

On the other side, the entrance to the Enshi Valley is an empty wall in Inglis's laboratory.

Isse thought he should be glad that Inglis was a normal person, or imagine a gray-haired "Sage Grandma" standing on the windowsill or coming out of a cupboard when she appeared on this side...... He shook his head speechlessly and looked around.

There didn't seem to be any change in the lab, as chaotic and orderly as when he left. The Raven must have used it - the confinement left by Inglis did not prohibit this, but the female mage did not know whether intentionally or unconsciously it had kept it as it was.

Dull footsteps sounded, and Mulder appeared by the door with a melancholy wooden face forever.
