For Willett Edward, this scene in front of her will always be so fresh in her memory, no matter how many times she recalls it, the pain it brought to her will not be alleviated in the slightest.

But the witch managed to gather her nerves, and when she realized that something was wrong, she began to take a serious look at her surroundings.

She hadn't seen anyone else perform psychic magic with her own eyes, in fact, most of the extraordinary people were, after all, wizards in the rare realm were too rare, and unless they had a certain status, they would rarely see them once in their lives.

But by reading the library's treasured books, Villelet learned several ways to resist psychic magic—only in the lower echelons, of course.

As with any other realm of magic, its effects are increased or diminished depending on the rank of the caster. In addition, what can resist the invasion of psychic magic is its own willpower.

Violent vibrations and shocks from the outside world can also interrupt the cast. This is the most vulnerable point of this strange power: even ordinary people with no magical training can break free from the shackles of less powerful psychic magic by chance.

Now, the only thing Violet can count on is to wait for others to notice the anomaly in her. This kind of probability is very small, and a mind wizard who can achieve the level of "falling asleep" should already have a fairly high rank, and may not be easily interrupted.

Willett thought for a while, and quickly came to a conclusion: since the other party wants to use this roundabout method, it means that he does not want to kill himself, but tries to communicate with himself in this secret way.

As long as you can communicate, you have the opportunity to ...... Villerlett began to look for it.

Her gaze quickly fell on the figure surrounded by the firelight. His presence was a key to a dream, though the figure was now as still as an insect frozen in amber.

“...... Is that you? ”

Villewlett walked over to the blazing fire and stared at the other man's face.

Because the other party's facial features were wrapped in flames, she still couldn't see the specific face, and she couldn't even distinguish between men and women. After the witch cautiously asked, she received no response.

The girl is like walking in a still oil painting, in which the people and objects are no different from the sculpture.

Violet sighed, raised her voice, and said seriously.

"I don't know who you are, but I think you have something to tell me. So, it's best not to waste time. It's late at night, and I'd like to get some rest because I've got work to do tomorrow morning. ”

“…… Then again, you're just as reluctant to put it off all night, right? O uninvited guest who trespassed on my dreams, stand before me frankly—"

"—Willett Edward."

A thunderous voice exploded above her head. The witch subconsciously wanted to raise her head, but all she saw was the vast darkness as far as the eye could see.

"Answer my question."

His voice was like a thunderbolt before a storm that passed through the black oppressive clouds, rumbling around the maiden, shaking the entire dream world.

"All things come from fire, so where did the first fire come from?"

…… Everything is on fire?

Wellett felt that this sentence was familiar, probably from some ancient thinker and philosopher. Although it is very simple, it is not necessarily unreasonable, if the "fire" in the other person's mouth is not in the substantive sense, but symbolizes the concept of light and heat.

As for the "first fire"......

"It's the hottest and brightest star." She replied, "The sun hanging high in the dome is transformed by the pupils of the Mayan goddess. ”

This is the most normal answer for humanity who is deeply influenced by the heroes of the creation epic.

"Correct."

The voice laughed.

The "thunder" that echoed in the still world intensified, and at the same time it continued to converge until it gathered into one point—

At that moment, like a dazzling lightning piercing the night, it fell from the sky and fell in front of her;

At that moment, the figure surrounded by the firelight seemed to come to life, and slowly opened its golden eyes full of spiritual light.

He was extremely large, with broad chests, thick hands and feet, three or four heads taller than a girl, and looked down on the witch condescendingly.

Wellet was not afraid, did not back down, but raised her head slightly vigilantly, staring at the other party.

“…… Who are you? What do you want to do? ”

"Don't worry, little girl, there's still time."

The giant said that his voice was rough and heroic.

"Did I just say that? I want to have a good rest. I'm going to wake up early tomorrow......"

The girl didn't back down.

"Stupid. What do you do in the morning? Was it to curry favor with that guy named Raspuchin? Wagging his tail at him like a pet dog? Little girl, it is disappointing that I have been awakened to find that the person who is qualified to be my 'covenant bearer' is such a humble and cowardly person! ”

At the end, the giant roared, spewing flames from its mouth uncontrollably, and the sound of thunder around it exploded.

Villerett frowned deeply.

She didn't hear the sarcasm in the Flame Giant's tone; The word "covenant holder" made the girl a little concerned, but she decided not to mention it for the time being.

What really made Violet impossible to ignore was the hidden message in the other party's words.

It seems that he has known himself and his teacher for a long time, and seems to have observed himself for quite some time...... What's going on? Could it be that the other party is hiding on the magic tower?

“...... What do you want to say? ”

The tone of the other party was quite unfriendly, but Willett was keenly aware of the deeper emotion: the other party was probably asking for herself.

The giant did not answer the witch's question head-on. He sat down cross-legged, and the heaviness caused the whole stagnant world like an oil painting to "boom".

"Okay, don't ask boring questions, let's talk about something important. Little girl, did you know that you have a huge secret hidden in yourself? "You may not understand this to you, but for example, I'm afraid that all the people in the whole tower combined are not as valuable as that secret." Don't be surprised, you'll soon realize it. ”

Willett's expression suddenly became strange, but fortunately she reacted quickly and immediately hid her reaction.

“...... What exactly is your so-called 'value'? ”

"That's me."

The giant puffed out his chest, his tone quite proud.

"As long as you sign a contract with me, you and you can become the entire wizard tower in the future...... No, it's the most powerful being in the world! ”

Swindler. Undoubtedly a trap. I need to contact the teacher immediately.

Wellrit thought to herself.

She didn't answer, remained silent, and stared at the other party silently.

“...... Don't you believe it? ”

The giant grinned at its mouth made entirely of flames. In his opinion, this silence is proof of the suspicion of the other party.

...... No, it's not that I don't believe it - the witch thinks it's a little ridiculous - it's just that I've been told about it, that's all.

"Isn't it strange that I noticed that your physical condition is very wrong, and that man named 'Novich Raspuchin' is a legendary wizard, and this kind of person would come to the door on his own initiative? Haven't you ever wondered why? ”

"It's okay, what he won't tell you, I'll tell you."

"It's because what I just said is true, the secret of you—the connection with me, which is what he has been coveting."
