Ciri's life at Nolan was not easy when she was young, and she was tired of the pedantic teaching system in Nolan's elementary magic academy and the students who always troubled her.

Luckily, Ciri has a great talent for fighting, and she can completely convince the other party every time, but the aftermath has always been her mother apologizing to all parties in the academy.

Now Ciri doesn't have any emotions other than guilt for her mother, but she's sensible enough to apologize to her mother too late.

"Now I'm the apprentice of the Purple One."

Ciri took out the badge of a fourth-level illusionist, and at her age, having a fourth-level badge was already surpassing most of her peers.

So Ciri thinks it's something that her mother should be proud of.

"And the people I like..."

Ciri half-knelt in front of the tombstone, her knees sinking deep into the snow.

She spent a long time telling her mother about what had happened to Nolan recently, and what had happened to her, Joshua, the movies, the magic web... Everything, everything.

By the time Ciri made it to the end, she found that her half-kneeling leg had lost sensation due to the snow.

Ciri tried to stand up and use the magic of heating to regain sensation in her legs, but in this moment... Ciri vaguely felt something gently hugging him from behind.

The feeling was a bit of an illusion, but it was real, and a strange warm current revived in Ciri's body.

"Mother?"

Ciri shouted tentatively, but there was no answer, and only the sound of the cold wind howling through Ciri was answered.

When she reached out again and touched the name on the tombstone, Ciri saw a pale blue inscription on her arm.

This caused Ciri to withdraw his hand as if he had been electrocuted, but the pale blue inscription on Ciri's arm quickly spread, taking up Ciri's entire arm in less than two seconds.

But when Ciri blinked again, the inscriptions disappeared from her arm, and there was no trace of them on her fair skin.

"Azure... An inscription on the god of flowing water and healing, but it doesn't feel right. ”

Ciri was sure that what he had just seen was not a hallucination, and when Ciri reached out and touched the tombstone again, the phenomenon did not happen again.

The warm feeling faded from Ciri's body, leaving only the cold wind in the cemetery slowly stripping her body heat.

"It's time for me to leave my mother, and I'll come back to see you next year."

Ciri hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand against the tombstone, and after a short solemn prayer, he stood up and left the silent cemetery.

………………

When Ciri arrived at the medical station that Shayl was talking about, the atmosphere inside the medical station was very delicate.

Caroli was shouting the other man's name in front of a middle-aged man who didn't even blink his eyes.

"Daughter of the Forest, the Duke's body is now weak, and his soul seems to be damaged."

The accompanying elven priest informed Caroli of the other party's physical condition.

Ciri was inexplicably relieved when she heard this, at least Caroli had really found her father! This is no longer a category of good luck.

But the physical and mental condition of the Duke of Kuroki was not optimistic.

"Damaged? How is it treated? Can Enlushi be cured......" Caroli was already a little unable to maintain her composure at this point.

"I've given him medication that clears the gray mist, and the gray mist in his body should have been eliminated." Shayl said on the sidelines.

"It is true that only a small amount of gray mist remains in the duke's body."

The Darkwood Elf priestess also used this method to further calm Caroli's emotions.

"Then why is Father like a puppet?"

Caroli kept waving in front of the other party, but he still didn't react.

Ciri had seen the dungeon through the eyes of the Frostwolf warrior when he was in the mental space, and he couldn't imagine how he survived after humans stayed in that environment for so long.

The body does not eat or drink, and Ciri can still guess that it is the magic in the body that supports them to survive, but the mental torture is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"There's a magic that will make you more aware of your father's situation." Shayl said.

"What... Magic? "Caroli must find a cure for Duke Blackwood.

Shayl led them directly to the dark elf's bedside in the corner of the room, and Ciri followed him when he saw the dark elf, accepting a thousand faces' commission to bring back her kindred.

The Dark Elf sensed Shail's approach and opened her eyes, her gaze scanning back and forth between Ciri, Shayl, and Caroli, with a strange smile on her face.

"Interesting." The dark elf whispered.

At this moment, Shayl saw purple and colored lines jump out of her body at the same time.

"What do you say is interesting?"

Ciri didn't like the way the dark elf looked at him.

"The Darkwood Elves' World Tree Lodger would be a human." The dark elf said as he set his gaze on Caroli.

"The Daughter of the Forest is a being recognized by our World Tree...... It is also an existence recognized by our family. The Darkwood Elf priestess explained to the Dark Elves.

"Collector of the World Tree's energy?" The Dark Elf didn't dwell on the issue any longer, she held out her hand, "Put it on, don't you want to know something?" ”

Caroli didn't hesitate long before putting her hand on the dark elf's palm, and the next second a purple mark appeared on the back of Caroli's hand.

When she blinked again at the others, she noticed a large number of colorful lines beside her.

The dark elf in front of her was surrounded by a large number of gray lines, and when her eyes turned to Ciri beside her, she found that the lines beside her were much more complicated.

Some of them are pink, some are rainbow-like colors, and some are blue and green......

Caroli couldn't see the gray of the dark elves on Ciri's body at all.

"What is this kind of vision that looks like it's with strange special effects on it?"

Ciri also received the inscription mark of the Dark Elves.

"Your emotions now will be shown in your eyes." Sayle gave an explanation, and explained in detail the emotions represented by the individual lines.

Caroli's gaze looked at her father who was lying on the bed again, and the gray that surrounded Duke Kuroki was far more gray than that of the dark elves, and there was even pitch black rolling.

Just looking at it made Caroli feel so depressed that she couldn't breathe.
