The fountain is large, at least twenty meters in diameter, snow-white, and made of jade. The fountain is surrounded by towering trees, and the sunlight shines through the forest, like a fairyland.

Lantra sat down by the fountain with Roland and explained, "This is no ordinary spring. It has a nice name, it's called the Fountain of Truth. The Fountain of Truth has magical powers, connecting the soul of a person and allowing one to see one's own heart. It is because of this spring that the central park is isolated. ”

As he spoke, Rand reached out and took some water from the spring, and he tapped it lightly with his index finger. The ripples on the surface of the water rippled, forming one beautiful ring after another.

The surface of the water began to glow.

The light slowly dissipates from the center of the circle to the outside, which makes people feel very warm and happy, and even the irritable mood calms down.

Lante looked at Roland gently, and his tone was surprisingly calm: "I know that a lot of unhappy things have happened to you these days, but they are only temporary. Don't pay attention to what my father just said, he's always been like this......"

"It's fine. I won't care. Roland said softly, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart, because the things they were worried about were actually completely different.

"You just don't care about anything. Rand looked up and asked, "Have you ever thought about what you really want, what do you want to do? You've been like this all these years, and you don't care about anything." That's not bad, but we can't go on like this for the rest of our lives! When we graduate, I'll give you a ...... at the Foreign Affairs Academy."

"It's too early after graduation, so why bring it up now?" Roland interrupted Rand's words, feeling a little mixed in his heart.

Fortunately, Rand was not angry, he saw Roland's impatience, but smiled: "Okay, don't mention it if you don't mention it! Perhaps this fountain of truth will tell you exactly what you want. ”

Roland nodded, and did as Rand had just done. But nothing else happened except the waves on the water.

Roland did it again, but there was still no response.

Rand didn't seem to expect this, muttering to himself, "How can this be, nothing like this has ever happened before......"

"Forget it!" Roland was a little discouraged, but he felt a little warm in his heart, after all, in order to relax him, Rand could think of bringing him here was already a great trust in him.

Just as Roland wanted to turn back, the spring suddenly began to glow. Then, the spring gushed into the air, three or four meters high, very different from the one just ranter.

The light of the spring water became more and more intense, and Roland felt that he was gradually becoming a little unable to see, and his five senses became dull. Then the light gradually dimmed again, although it was still very strong, but Roland could already see his surroundings clearly. Somehow, there was nothing around him, not even Rand was gone.

Roland couldn't help but look around to find Rand, and at this time, a voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Roland." ”

Roland turned his head, and then saw a familiar smiling face, and he was stunned for a moment: "Catherine?"

The Catherine in front of her is very different from what Roland remembers, not so gloomy and sickly, but more like the state in the portrait. Catherine was radiant and bright, and she was very good-looking.

"Why are you here, aren't you already dead?" Roland blurted out with some surprise.

Catherine smiled.

She suddenly floated into the air, and that's when Roland realized that her feet were dangling. Catherine spoke, "I'm dead. ”

"Then why am I seeing you here? Are you my consciousness?" asked Roland again.

"Consciousness, of course not," Catherine smiled, "this is the fountain of truth, a place where people talk to their souls, but Roland, you will never have such an opportunity...... I know that if Rand trusts you, he will bring you here one day, so I've been waiting for you here. ”

Listening to her words, Roland reacted a little: Is this Catherine waiting for him? It should be that she sealed a part of the power on Roland's body before she died, and now she has triggered it again through the opportunity of the Fountain of Truth.

After knowing what was going on, Roland couldn't help but feel a little anxious, there were some things he wanted too much to figure out. Roland grabbed Catherine's arm, tried to maintain a calm tone and asked, "Why did you do that to me seven years ago? What is the spell you put on me?" I ......" Unexpectedly, before the words were finished, Catherine suddenly hugged Roland, Roland was frightened by her sudden behavior, and her mind suddenly became blank.

Roland's impression of Catherine was thin, tall and grotesque, and a scary one. But now, seven years later, she has become petite and weak in Roland's arms. Although Catherine is Rand's mother, she is only about twenty years old, and it is difficult for Roland to treat her as an elder.

Catherine squeezed Roland's arm and whispered, "You're hurt, but you've grown up too, Roland." As she spoke, she held Roland's face again as she had done when she was a child.

Roland's heart was beating fast, and he was worried that Catherine would choke him by the neck as hard as she had done at the beginning, but Catherine didn't do it this time. By the time Roland reacted, a kiss had fallen lightly on his forehead.

Catherine whispered in Roland's ear, "I'm sorry, I know you've had a hard time all these years. But as a mother, that's all I can do. I have nothing left, and I can't let my children become like me...... But I don't have time. So it's all up to you...... Don't blame me for being ruthless, because I have no choice!" Catherine's body began to slowly shatter into a point of gravel before disappearing.

Roland sighed and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Protect yourself, protect Rand. Catherine took a deep breath: "Otherwise, you know the end." With that, Catherine was gone.

The surrounding light began to fade, and the surrounding landscape began to change back to its original appearance. Rand pushed Roland and asked with concern, "What did you see?"
