"I feel like this plan can be abandoned. Following the two of them, Charlotte heard Eagle say to Lusen, "We've tried so many times, and the perfect one is Sylvia." Now I think the crux of the matter is not the clone of the human body, but of the soul. ”
"I know, but the key is how to lure Eleni's soul?" Lu Sien nodded, his voice low and obviously depressed, "You and I have faintly felt the existence of the Root Vortex, although it is unconscious, thoughtless, and thoughtless, it sees us as a threat just like the body's immune system. Aleni ...... Could her soul have been consumed by the Vortex of Roots?"
Eagle stopped and was silent, as if thinking about how to speak, and Lu Sien turned his head to look at him, there was no expectation in his black pupils, only the knot that belonged to the hopeless.
“…… Replica souls. Eagle seemed to let out his last breath, "How do you feel about replicating Eleni's soul?"
Charlotte, who was following the two of them, thought to herself that this was not a good idea.
But unexpectedly, after hearing Iger's proposal, the only light in Lu Sien's eyes dimmed a few points. He didn't agree as Charlotte expected, but shook his head, "Is the copied soul still her?" Eagle, what do you think is the essence of what makes up a person? Isn't it the soul?"
"Of course I know, you listen to me. I mean, copy a soul and use the connection between that soul and Eleni to find the source of Eleni's soul, even if she is in the Root Vortex, and it is impossible to use your power and my power to save her. You know what I mean. ”
Lu Sien's black pupils were like a deep well, and this time, a spark of hope ignited in the deep well, "You mean to say...... Using the copied soul as bait, the Vortex of the Root of Deception replaces Eleni's soul?"
Hearing this, Charlotte couldn't help but be amazed by Iger's whimsy. Since the Vortex of Roots cannot be disobeyed, it is better to deceive it in another way, so that it mistakenly thinks that it has obtained the sacrifice it wants.
Even though she already knew that the research of these two would eventually fail, at this moment, Charlotte still felt that this was the only way to succeed.
No, could it be that these two have already succeeded, but the soul of the replaced Eleni has deviated, and has not appeared on the lifeless body at this time, but has been delayed for thousands of years to appear in the future Vivien Leigh?
Charlotte was excited, not only because the memory made him feel closer and closer to the heart of a secret, but also because their train of thought inspired Charlotte. This inspiration made him realize that the key to saving Vivien Leigh was the root cause of fraud, not confrontation.
He was sincerely grateful to be able to see this scene, and the muscles of his body trembled with tension, and a feeling called excitement spread throughout his body, until a scolding woke him up from this state.
"Who's there!"
The rebuke came from Eagle, and for a moment, Charlotte thought he was aware of his presence, but soon he realized that there was someone else who was listening.
This was Sylvia's realm of consciousness, and since Charlotte could hear the conversation, it was self-evident who was listening to it.
Sure enough, a wooden door at the front of the corridor was carefully pushed open, and a teenager with short black hair touched the back of his head, smirking at the two of them. Behind him was a girl of about ten years of age, with blonde hair and a shawl, and a cute baby fat on her face, but her expression was cold and her eyes were as clear as a frozen lake.
It's Claudine as a teenager and Sylvia as a child!
Iger's expression softened instantly, but Lu Sien's expression was stiff, the former walked over and patted the heads of the two, and scolded softly, "Don't you sleep so late, do you take your sister to mess around here?" ”
Claudine bowed exaggeratedly, "Yes, Uncle Eagle!" and looked at Lusion again, but the latter only nodded stiffly, and Claudien's expression fell, and he called out softly, 'Father,' and pulled Sylvia away.
Seeing the relationship between them, Charlotte almost thought that Eagle was the loving father, not Lusen. But he soon learns that Lu Sien does not dislove Claudine, but only gets along stiffly with him out of guilt. Because when Claudine pulled Sylvia towards Charlotte, he saw Rusion turn his head, the expression on his face softened, and his eyes showed doting.
At this time, Claudine pulled Sylvia past Charlotte, and just as Charlotte was thinking about whether to follow Lusin or what to do next, a detail caught Charlotte's attention.
Noticing that Sylvia kept looking up at him as she passed him, he quickly realized that Sylvia could sense his presence, and decided not to follow Lusin and Igger, but turned to follow Claudine and Sylvia.
Claudine takes Sylvia all the way through the castle, gushing about the fun of the day, as if trying to make Sylvia smile. His actions were obviously useless, because until he reached Sylvia's bedroom, he could only get a few cold 'uh-oh, okay' words from Sylvia.
He wasn't annoyed, he still greeted him with a smile and said goodbye, "That sister, I'll go back to sleep too, see you tomorrow!"
Sylvia almost forced herself to swing her head up and down slightly in response, and before entering the bedroom, she turned her head again, staring at Charlotte who was following her in a daze with eyes like a lake of ice.
Her movements left Claudine speechless, "What's the matter? Don't you want to sleep? Do you want me to take you to the clock tower to see the stars?"
Sylvia confirmed her suspicions, stretched out her hand to Charlotte, and said a rare complete sentence to Claudien, "Can't you see him?"
Charlotte's heart slammed, and Sylvia could indeed see him. He was silent, wanting to see if he could influence Claudio and the two guards guarding the bedroom after Sylvia had revealed his presence.
Soon, however, Claudine rubbed her eyes, and the two guards looked around in confusion.
Claudine quickly grinned and said, "I didn't think you'd learn to joke too, sister!"
Sylvia seemed to sigh slightly, and asked the guards again, "Can't you see it too?"
“…… Princess, there's no one else here. The guard shook his head, "But maybe a bold spellcaster has infiltrated the castle, do you want me to report to the captain of the guard?"
"Wow!" Claudian called exaggeratedly, "I'm going to tell Uncle Eagle and Father!
Sure enough, after identifying her own existence, Charlotte could still only be perceived by Sylvia. He stood there quietly, wanting to see what Sylvia would do next.
"No need. Much calmer than expected, Sylvia shook her head, "I think I was just blinded." ”
"Really?" Claudine asked, and the guards looked relieved, and it was clear that Claudine was probably the only one in the castle who really cared about Sylvia.
"No need. Sylvia shook her head and pushed the door open, "Good night, Claudine." ”
"Ahh
Charlotte smiled, noticing that Sylvia had left a man-wide crack in the wooden door when she entered the bedroom, as if inviting herself in. So he dodged into the door, and sure enough, Sylvia was tiptoeing behind the door and holding the doorknob, and only slowly closed the door when she saw Charlotte come in, leaving Claudine's hustle and bustle outside.
She looked at Charlotte quietly with her ice-blue pupils, and it took a full ten seconds or so before she calmly asked, "Who are you?"
