"Ellie, Miss Ellie!" Lilith cried eagerly, shaking the girl's shoulders vigorously.

Ellie slowly opened her eyes, the soft light of the candle piercing her eyes, and she finally returned to reality from her dream. She rubbed her sore temples and felt like she had been unconscious for days.

"You've finally woken up!" Casio breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the girl wake up.

Ellie finally came to her senses, and she saw the magician and Lilith sitting beside her, looking at her helplessly.

The girl was a little puzzled, and when she looked up, she was immediately startled. It turned out that Charlie and the middle-aged man had already returned to the reception hall, and at this moment the other cultivators were looking at him with strange eyes.

Ellie's face flushed, and she whispered to the girl, "What happened just now, why did the surroundings suddenly become so quiet?"

Lilith couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and explained in a low voice, "You suddenly fell asleep just now, and you are still talking in your sleep!"

A cold wind blew on the ground, and the temperature in the air dropped sharply, which made the girl shiver.

"How can it be so cold inside?" Ellie subconsciously looked at the fireplace in the corner, she could clearly feel the constantly beating flame, and it did not exude the slightest warmth.

Ellie was about to say something, but then she realized that she couldn't make any sound!

No one made a sound in the hall, and the girl noticed that the hour hand had just stopped at the number 7, which made her wonder if she was still in a fantasy.

Lilith and Casio don't talk to her anymore, and they laugh and talk about other topics, not paying attention to Ellie at all.

The people around them were talking to each other like puppets, but they were repeating the same movements, and Ellie noticed that their mouths were surprisingly consistent!

"What the hell is going on?" Ellie's heart swelled with a strong sense of fear, and she felt that everything around her was a façade of hypocrisy. And she has fallen into an endless dream, and the mechanical actions of the people around her make her more and more frightened.

"Don't worry, it's someone who has unleashed the magic of time standstill. A hoarse voice rang in Ellie's ears, and at this moment her heart was like a stone thrown into the calm water of the lake, and the slightest ripple was cast.

"Lord Aven, it's your ——!," the girl shouted in surprise and began to search around for the palace magician.

"It's inconvenient for someone to appear here, you have to remember, don't give the White Blue Bow to anyone else!" Evan's tone was weak, and his magic was almost exhausted due to the still magic that had been maintained for nearly half an hour.

Although the court magician has no noble blood, Charlie has never been at odds with him, so he has no intention of showing up.

In fact, Evan was entrusted by Shiloh to protect the safety of Ellie and others in the dark. While fighting Luna, the vision of the girl in the sky after being possessed by Athena immediately caught his attention.

Evan originally just wanted to confirm the girl's safety and ask her to take care of the white blue bow.

So Evan took advantage of Charlie's departure to release the space-time stillness, but he didn't expect the girl to inadvertently enter the space-time illusion!

The space-time illusion is an adjunct of high-level magic, time and time, and it is a node where time and space are intertwined, and only in the case of extreme coincidence can people with special abilities have the possibility to go out of their minds and enter a certain space-time rift that has occurred in history.

The court mage had no choice but to maintain his magic, otherwise Ellie's spirit would probably not be able to return to his body.

"Why did I see that scene?" Ellie, confused as she recalled the scene that had just taken place at the Church of Light.

She suddenly felt that Merlin's pale and melancholy face was somewhat familiar, as if she had met it somewhere.

Thinking of this, she noticed the milky white glow of the white blue bow in her hand—suddenly dimming a little.

The girl stared blankly at the fluctuations of power flowing on the surface of the short bow, and a trace of sadness appeared in her heart. Suddenly, a picture flashed in front of her eyes, and she suddenly remembered that the magician in the dream was actually the mysterious witch she had met that night in Curry!

She was startled by her sudden thought, and muttered to herself, "It must be him, there will be no mistake." ”

She will never forget Merlin's indifferent eyes, etched in her heart like a brand.

The only thing that puzzled her was that Merlin was so accomplished in the field of magic, why didn't anyone stand up for him when he was down.

Caesar, Edward, and Diana, the partners who grew up with him, left him at the most critical moment......

"Hurry up, someone is running out of support!" Evan reminded the girl.

Ellie put the white blue bow back on her back and said indifferently, "Lord Aven, it's already okay." ”

As soon as the words ended, everything around him returned to normal.

"Ellie, why are you still stunned there?" Lilith interrupted her thoughts with an eager cry.

The girl awoke from a dream, and found herself standing by the fire, while the rest of the people had gathered in the middle of the hall.

Ellie noticed Charlie's grim eyes smearing through the crowd, staring at her. It is clear that he has been paying attention to his actions from the moment he enters.

Seeing this, Ellie hurriedly agreed and ran to Lilith's side.

"Okay, so let's move on to the next step. Charlie said as he took a beautifully made wooden box from the maid's hand.

"What's next?" the girl asked with a confused expression, immediately drawing the rolls of the eyes of several people around her.

"The examiner will award the person who passes the test a strength badge, you won't forget it, will you?" Lilith reminded softly, tugging at the corner of Ellie's coat.

Charlie holds a wooden box in his left hand and a piece of Mithril paper in his right hand, on which are written in floral script with the names of all those who have passed the exam.

"Third-Order Swordsman, Locke Farran. "Look up the first name on the list.

Locke agreed, walked forward quickly, and bowed deeply to Charlie.

"Glory be with you. Locke respectfully accepted the badge from the middle-aged man's hand, saluted again, and stepped aside.

"Third-Order Magician, Sealand Norton. ”

A tall, lanky young man said yes and walked up to Charlie.

"Lilith, it's coming to you soon!" Locke couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and handed the power badge in his hand to the girl.

Ellie notices that the edge of the coat of arms is in the shape of a six-pointed star, similar to the family crest of the Fisdal family.

"Seventh-Order Magician, Casio Fisdal. Casio stepped forward with a hint of arrogance on his face.

"W-what?!" all the other cultivators present couldn't help but let out an exclamation, even Ellie.
