"Okay, since you're so round, let's call it a ball."

When the ball came out of its ignorance, it saw a beautiful and energetic maiden decide its name with a crisp ringing-like voice. She wears a standard black wizard's robe, though she doesn't wear a hood, and her long hair is tied with a blue ribbon.

"Yuanqiu, are you talking about me?" The orb opened its eyes to see itself, but it couldn't see it all. So turn yourself around in a hurry.

"Hah...... Haha......" The girl saw the action of the ball, she seemed to understand what it wanted to do, and with a wave of her hand, a light curtain of water appeared in front of the ball.

Looking at the little round ball with small silver-white horns in the water curtain that was looking around and learning its own movements, it seemed to feel very interesting. Later, it learned that the ball in the water curtain turned out to be itself.

"Ruth, Ruth, I heard that you became a high-level wizard today." Round Ball turned around and saw another girl, who looked exactly like the girl with the blue ribbon, except that her hair was red.

"Okay, Betty, don't shout, this one might make me a little happier than a high-level wizard." Ruth looked at her sister with a smile and pointed in the direction of the ball.

"Ah......, what is this? It's so cute. Is this your alchemical work, sister? Betty, who was tied with a red ribbon, asked her smiling sister in surprise.

"yes, it's called a ball. It's the alchemical life I created today, and it's very useful. "When my sister heard her sister's praise, she was obviously very useful.

"And what can it do?" Betty asked.

"It absorbs sounds from around it and converts it into attack or defensive shields. And most importantly, it can be grown and strengthened. I'm thinking of adding some other features to it. Ruth said proudly.

That year, the two girls were fourteen years old, and Yuanqiu had just been born, and they were in the prime of their youth.

………………

"Ah, Yuanqiu, Yuanqiu, you tell me who is the most beautiful person in the world." Betty was bored and lying on the bed in her room. She and Yuanqiu were the only ones in the room. Today is the day when Lucy becomes a legendary wizard, but neither she nor Sphere attends.

Betty somehow kept flashing in front of her eyes a few days ago when Ruth turned into a point of light and dissipated, so she always did things that didn't seem very rational to others, and suddenly yelled in class or something. So at today's banquet where Ruth became a legend, she did not attend, but was left in her and Ruth's room.

Ruth, in order not to make her bored, left the ball in the bedroom.

Betty listened to the congratulations of the different guests at the banquet, and became more and more bored, so she simply chatted with Yuanqiu.

"Ruth is the most beautiful person in the world, her hair is like clouds in the sky, her eyes are like the teardrops of the goddess of the sea, her skin is as white as snow, and her ......" bursts of fleshy praise resounded from within the sphere.

"Okay, okay, got it, stinky ball, you know to pat Ruth's ass, you're a sycophant."

The sixteen-year-old girl lay on her back on the bed, obviously dissatisfied with Yuanqiu's answer.

"But Betty is as pretty as Ruth." The sound of the ball rang in Betty's ears again.

"Humph! It's kind of you know each other. Betty was overjoyed.

………………

"Are you really going to that place? Can't you just not go? I had foreseen that there was no use there. Betty looked at her sister with pleading words.

"No, Betty. My destiny guides me, whether I live or die, everything will be known. Ruth's voice was full of firmness, and there was no trace of nostalgia for her sister's request.

"I'm going to take the balls, but if ...... If I can't come back, you can take this and bring it back. Ruth took a part out of her pocket and handed it to Betty.

With that, Ruth left with the ball, leaving Betty alone, standing alone at the door of the house.

This year, the girls are already eighteen years old, one is in the prime of youth, and the other is dying step by step. As for the round ball, the four-year-old seems to feel Ruth's sadness, is that what they often call emotion?

………………

The story of the ball is over.

"Is this the forest that Her Highness Ruth Coffey has come from?" While others were still reminiscing about the story, Rowener, the most knowledgeable, had already begun to ask questions about the ball.

She was obsessed with reading, and since she was a child, she has read almost all the books in her family, and the name Ruth Coffey is a name mentioned in many books such as "Ancient and Modern Legends", "Wizard Talent", "Alchemist Master" and many others. The most gifted wizard of centuries, the strongest alchemist, the youngest legendary wizard...... These honorable titles are all attributed to one person.

And since Rowena learned the name, he has always regarded Ruth Coffey as an idol and role model, and has been working towards her achievements. Now I heard that this monster is not as evil as I imagined, and it is actually the creation of my idol Ruth, the legendary wizard. It's no surprise that she's excited.

"Yes, after coming to this forest, it was here, and there was no such pesky mountain at that time." As soon as the ball mentioned the mountain, there was a feeling of hatred in its voice.

"Okay, so what happened next?" Rowena was curious to know what happened and how Ruth ended.

"Later......" Sphere's voice muffled, "and then, as Betty had predicted, she had described to me what she saw: Ruth's body began to become nothing, and finally turned into points of light and scattered with the wind. Not even a soul existed, and everything about her was gone. ”

"When we came here, this part of the forest was somehow filled with endless noise, as if there were mosquitoes whispering in your ears. That noise could directly destroy the mind of an ordinary person. ”

Ruth was working on a solution to the noise, but she couldn't find anything. The noise grew louder and louder, and after a few days, they were able to affect the mood of even junior wizards, making them belligerent and irrational, as if they were all under dementia. ”

"In the end, Ruth chose to give up her life, she injected the powerful magic, spiritual power and life force in my body, and finally I directly absorbed the source of sound into my body and suppressed it as she expected, and she finally turned into a point of light and drifted away in the wind like Betty predicted."

"That'...... Why did the dwarves and elves tell us that you brought disaster upon them, and that everyone who spoke loudly in the Forest of Silence has vanished? ”

Salazar raised his own questions, and although he was moved by the story told by the ball, he raised his own questions.
