After drinking the fruit and milk drink, Sharan and Ewen returned to the Howard Library, and the two continued to read their books, and when it was time for the retreat, Sharan said goodbye to Coco as usual and returned home.

However, when he had just returned home, Berman, the butler, told his father Rohr to go to Rohr's study when he returned, and Rohr had something to tell him.

After thanking Butler Berman, Sharan went to Rohr's office, knocked on the door, and walked in.

Seeing the arrival of his eldest son, Rohr put down the pen in his hand and said to Shalan: "Come, sit, I have something to tell you in advance today, there is a ball on this Saturday, some noble officials in Cynthia City, and even rich merchants will participate, as my heir, you naturally have to go with me, so in the remaining two days, I hope you can follow the teacher I arranged for you to review the etiquette and dance steps." ”

"Father, I wonder when I will review my dance steps and etiquette?"

"This is the second thing I want to tell you, although I don't want to disturb your study, but in the past two days, I want to ask you not to go to the Howard Library for the time being after school, and follow the teacher to review the etiquette and dance steps at home, and when the dance is over, you can go to the Howard Library to continue your studies as usual, how about it?"

"Father, for me, dance steps and manners and even the ball are secondary, and knowledge and learning are the main thing, are you sure you want me to give up the opportunity to learn and spend two days learning the minor steps and manners?"

Hearing Shalan's words, Luo Er looked at him with some surprise, nodded slowly, and Luo Er said: "That's right, what you said is very reasonable, it is true that I didn't think it through, so what should you do according to what you see?"

"Dance steps and etiquette also need to be reviewed, after all, I also have to participate in the ball, I can't lose the face of our Winman family, but in my opinion, this kind of thing is not necessary to spend two days of afternoon and evening on me.

I'll come back tomorrow and rest an hour late to review with the teacher, if the teacher says it's not qualified after tomorrow's review, then I'll listen to my father's words and come back to study after school the day after tomorrow, and that's enough. ”

Nodding slowly, Luo Er said, "It's okay, then follow your wishes." ”

"Thank you father, for your understanding, and I'll go back to the house. ”

"Go ahead. ”

After saying goodnight to Rohr, Sharan went back to her room, washed and changed her clothes under Sally's service, drank some black tea, and ate some refreshments before opening her book and starting her evening study.

When Sha Lan reviewed what he had studied, he asked Sally to go back to his room to sleep, and after Sally left, he closed his eyes and relaxed for a while, and then adjusted his breathing to recite the incantation, and suddenly the familiar power surged out of his eyebrows again, absorbing the energy in the void with the help of the spell, turning into a black smoke in front of Sharan.

Taking a deep breath, Sharan manipulated the black smoke to seep out along the crack in the door of the room, and since he didn't know if anyone else could see it, he controlled the black smoke to swim quickly in the corner of the wall.

In the process of manipulating the black smoke, Sharan found that he could actually observe a lot of things through the black smoke, as if he really saw it with his eyes and ears, but he discovered a new way to use this black smoke.

The black smoke left Shalan about ten meters away, and then quickly dissipated, and the spiritual power that formed the black smoke was completely consumed.

At this time, Sha Lan wrote down the time that the black smoke can last and the maximum distance from his body in the notebook in front of him, and then continued to cast the black smoke once, continued to study the flexibility of the black smoke and other corresponding data, when the black smoke dissipated for the second time, Sha Lan immediately felt a burst of exhaustion, he wanted to work hard to cast the third black smoke, but there was no way to use it, but it made Sha Lan's head ache suddenly.

"In this way, I can only use this black smoke twice, but I don't know what the recovery speed of this power in the center of my eyebrows is, it seems that if I want to study the recovery speed of this power, I need to wait for the daytime to study it, at least I can determine the recovery speed of that power according to whether I can use black smoke, as for now...... It's better to sleep. ”

While thinking, Sharan put away her notes and lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

......

Meanwhile, in an alley in the Slum Kiln of Cynthia, Jonathan looked at the wild cat in front of him, gritted his teeth, grabbed the neck of the wild cat meowing at him, and wrung its neck while the wild cat was not looking, causing the wild cat to let out a terrible scream, leaving several claw marks on Jonathan's hands.

Panting heavily, Jonathan looked at no one around, stuffed the dead wildcat into his pocket, and sneakily returned home, without his parents to talk to him, he went straight back to the attic of the little house, and closed the door tightly, leaving his mother, with rough hands, standing in the doorway and sighing softly.

Back in his room and locked the door, Jonathan took out the dead wild cat from his pocket, he subconsciously looked at the door, and then carefully cleared the attic floor of his room, took out the paint placed in the closet, and drew an inverted pentagram on the ground with a little madness, and put five white candles on the five corners of the inverted pentagram to light it.

Looking at the simple inverted pentagram that had been arranged, Jonathan took out a broken copper bowl with a large number of unknown characters painted on the surface like a shareholder, and carefully placed it in the center of the inverted pentagram.

Jonathan looked at this copper bowl, the voice in his head kept telling himself that this worn-out copper bowl dug out of the dirt of the garbage dump was his future, as long as he completed the ritual according to the words of that voice, he could gain great power and trample the noble second generation like Shalan, who had no ability, under his feet, and let the beautiful and endless power and wealth of Ailan become his own and surrender to his crotch!

With trembling hands, he took out the dead wildcat, and Jonathan carefully picked up the knife that he had set aside, and cut it many times before slicing open the wildcat's neck and pouring the cat's blood into the worn copper bowl.

As most of the wildcat's blood flowed into the bowl, Jonathan slowly knelt down on the circle, holding the edge of the worn bowl in his hands and began to whisper the prayer that the voice in his head had told him.

Slowly, a strange aura poured out of Jonathan's body, and without Jonathan noticing it, it slowly swirled around him, causing the flames of the five candles to beat slightly.
