Ryan's test failed unsurprisingly. He could only lift the dumbbell to his ankle despite all he could, but it was enough for Suser to impress him.

After all, he really looked weak.

Then, with the agreement of Hevina and the red-haired girl, Ryan became the red-haired girl's servant. Originally, Suser proposed to sign a master-servant contract on the spot, but under the strong rebuttal of the red-haired girl, Suser had no right to speak at all. So Ryan and the redhead girl didn't sign a contract, which made Ryan relieved and more psychologically acceptable.

After all, without signing the master-servant contract, he still has personal freedom. His identity is more like a working boy under the hands of a red-haired girl.

At Hewina's request, the red-haired girl and Sasher would rest in Sanyuan Village for the night, before leaving the next morning. So Ryan: They still have an afternoon to prepare.

night

A gentle breeze blows through the trees, and the leaves rustle against each other. But there is a hint of discord in these sounds. Although it was very weak, Hevina, who was half-asleep, caught it and opened her eyes instantly.

A waning moon hung high in the dark night sky, and the hazy moonlight fell into the room through the window.

At the foot of Hevina's bed, two more dark figures appeared.

Both of them wore the same standard of black tight leather jackets and leather pants, although they could not see their faces clearly because they were both masked, but judging from their figures, both were women.

They bowed their heads and half-knelt on the ground.

"Her Highness the Holy Maiden......"

"I know!"

One of the Shadow Assassins had just spoken, but was interrupted by Hevina.

"Tomorrow, I will leave here and return to the Holy City. By the way, who is that girl? ”

The shadow assassin who had just spoken stood up and handed Hevina a perfect diamond-shaped gray gem.

This is an information gem that can store pictures and text in it.

Hevina took the gem and pressed it against her forehead.

After reading the information inside, the gem turned into a star and dissipated.

Now that Hevina knew the red-haired girl's origins, it was not surprising that she could see through Ryan's truth at a glance.

She also breathed a sigh of relief. At least the redhead girl wouldn't do anything to hurt Ryan.

The red-haired girl has a big background, and Ryan has a good relationship with her, and there is only good and no harm.

"Stand down!"

"Yes!"

The two shadow assassins answered at the same time. Then the two sneaked into the night and left quietly.

After making sure that there was no one around, Hevina pulled out a fist-sized transparent gem from the wooden bedside table and walked out of the room to the door of Ryan's room, where she slowly opened a crack in the door.

Ryan was still asleep, so she opened the door and walked over to Ryan's bedside. He placed the transparent gem on his forehead and used his spiritual power to urge the gem.

The gem gradually turned into a gray stream of air and burrowed into Ryan's head.

The name of the transparent gemstone is: Yunling. As the name suggests, its function is to nourish the soul.

Ryan became a mess because his soul was damaged.

There is a natural Yunling gem mine near Sanyuan Village, although it is only about three kilograms, but it is enough. That's why Hevina chose to live in Sanyuan Village.

After three years of unremitting efforts, she can't see any light. The piece of spirit gem in her hand was already the last piece of that vein, and if she used this piece and Ryan still didn't recover, then she would have to compromise with her grandfather.

However, the Emperor paid off, and this morning, Ryan's soul was finally whole—he regained consciousness!

Tonight will be the last time Hevina will use the Spirit Gem for Ryan.

The melting process of the spirit gem is very slow, and after a while, the gem is only a circle smaller.

But Hevina couldn't hold on any longer-

"Hmmm......"

A muffled snort rang out in the room, and a trail of blood spilled from the corner of Hevina's mouth.

It is true that the spirit gem can nourish the soul, but that is for the user, and it is a burden for the person who assists on the side, after all, the helper needs to spend a lot of mental power to dissolve the spirit gem.

This is the same as the fact that the medicine is poisonous.

For the past three years, Hevina has assisted Ryan in using the Spirit Gem once a day. The long-term use of spiritual power to dissolve the spirit gem caused a trace of damage to Hevina's soul, and this trace of damage was also fed back to her body today.

Hevina looked at the spirit gem in her hand, and the black liquid spread out from her palm, wrapping the spirit gem and squeezing it into powder. Although she could have someone else use the Spirit Gem for her, that would reveal the fact that she had possessed the Spirit Gem, which her grandfather knew about at the time......

"Lifted."

Hevina wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and whispered with her index finger on Ryan's forehead.

Then a transparent mask appeared on Ryan's face - the magician, "The Hypocrite".

After Hevina took down the "hypocrite", Ryan's appearance changed dramatically - the short black hair that could be seen everywhere in the Dragon Empire and its surrounding kingdoms and principalities changed into beautiful long silver-white hair, and the black eyes also changed to a blood red that exuded an ominous aura, and Ryan's complexion became more pale. Of course, it wasn't the milky white of Hewina's skin, but a sickly pale.

Ryan's silver hair was inherited from his parents, but his blood-red pupils and sickly pale skin were the result of that change.

Hevina obsessively stroked Ryan's hair, then leaned on top of him and sniffed greedily at his scent.

"I don't know if you're still the same Ryan you were."

Ryan's original state was dangerous, his soul was mutilated, and most of his consciousness had disappeared. There is a great deal of uncertainty in the use of spirit gems in this state. First, the soul is nourished and eventually regained consciousness; Second, the original consciousness disappeared, and under the effect of a large number of spirit gems, a new consciousness was reborn in Lane's body.

That's why Hevina said this.

"Yes, I'm glad because that gentle and lovely man is back; No, I'm just as happy because he doesn't have to suffer like that. Whether you are or not, I will live with you. ”

Hevina let go of her hand and placed the mask on Ryan's face, and when it took effect, she resolutely left Ryan's room.

As soon as Hevina left, Ryan opened his eyes.

There are 28 hours in a day in this world, and more than half of the day is in the dark. And he was used to being a night owl on earth, and he couldn't sleep at all, and he had been lying in bed in a daze with his eyes open.

After Hevina opened the door, he closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.

Ryan got up and touched his pajamas, which were soaked in cold sweat, before taking them off. When Hevina said that she wasn't sure if he was Ryan or not, he was instantly scared into a cold sweat, but luckily Hevina left the room quickly. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to pretend without showing his feet.

After calming down, Ryan smelled the faint smell of blood in the room.

Although he didn't know what Hevina was doing, he could feel Hevina's kindness, and what she was doing was definitely in his favor. And Hevina really loves him.

"You're so happy!" Ryan muttered, feeling a little lost.

But soon he regained his mind, holding his heart in his right hand and looking at the door.

"But you're dead. Then your will will be inherited by me! ”

Next

Ryan got up early, and after breakfast, he left the house with the luggage that Hevina had packed for him in the living room, and came to the door of Barto's two-story cabin.

"Where's your sister?"

Yang Xinyue, that is, the red-haired girl, said. Her name was only heard by Ryan yesterday afternoon.

"I don't know."

When Ryan woke up and saw that Hevina was not in the living room, he knocked on Hevina's bedroom door, but no one answered. If it weren't for the breakfast Hevina had made for him in the living room, he would have thought Hewena had quietly left the village after visiting his room the previous night.

"Well! Maybe it's scared, right? ”

Yang Xinyue said something that Ryan didn't understand, why didn't she come out because she was afraid?

"Okay, don't think about it, hurry up and get in the car."

Yang Xinyue took Ryan's hand and walked towards the carriage.

And as Yang Xinyue said, because Hevina is reluctant, she can only nest in the bedroom now, and she doesn't even have the courage to see her off. She was afraid that when she saw Ryan, she wouldn't want him to leave.

Hevina sat on the bed with her back against the wall and her hands clasped around her knees.

"Miss, he's gone."

"Got it."

Hevina looked up at the shadow assassin beside the bed and said coldly.

She got up and got out of bed.

"Back to the Holy City!"
