Ending the conversation with the summer night, the lord of the castle couldn't sleep.

Even with a different body, the habits of being a witch are still there, and she doesn't need much sleep. The main reason is that Xia and the words that Ye Fang just said to her made her think about it repeatedly:

Will I ever see my sister again? Or is this "summer night" in front of her really her sister? Who the hell are you? Why did you appear in this dream? Could it be that there is something deeper?

She was not good at thinking, and the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became, and in the end, the city lord decided to simply get up and go outside to relax.

But in the next second, she was surprised to find that she couldn't control her body.

No...... It should be said that it is the body of "the younger sister of the summer night".

Because she clearly sensed the presence of another soul, which took control of the body, it was like squeezing two people in a single room, and she was not the owner of the room.

This soul ...... It should be the sister of the summer night.

Didn't that guy swear that everything here is nothing more than her memory? Why is her sister's soul there?!

A feeling of surprise but not surprise rose in the city lord's heart—the liar's words were really not credible!

She withdrew her attention and looked curiously at the soul with whom she shared the same body:

The other party's appearance is almost exactly the same as her own, but her face is slightly childish, according to Xia Ye, her sister has just reached the age of 15 at this time. The girl floated in the dark space, her eyes closed and her brow slightly furrowed, as if she was having a nightmare.

…… Nightmare?

Could it be that it is because of his own existence that the other party is uneasy?

Although she hated that "summer night", she didn't have any hostility towards her sister, perhaps because the other party was like another self - she never hated "herself".

The castle lord stretched out his finger and poked it lightly at the girl's pink face.

"Ahh

The other party screamed and immediately woke up, and immediately after, she saw the city lord standing in front of her.

“…… Who are you? ”

"This witch's name is Dongyang, the largest shareholder of 'Aether Exploration', the city lord of Debusota City, and the only level 9 great witch." The lord of the city said.

Winter Day: "??? ”

……

After about an hour of conversation, Dong Tian finally grasped the general situation, mainly thanks to her strong comprehension and logical analysis skills, otherwise, according to the city lord's chaotic level of expression, I am afraid that she would not be able to explain it clearly for another hour.

"To put it simply, you come from a magical world, and your soul has penetrated into our world, and my brother thinks that this is just his memory, not an entity, but because you have seen my soul, you have doubts about his claim. Also, according to my brother's memory, I will be in seven days...... Well, dead in six days, right? ”

"Uh...... Right! ”

The city lord was surprised how the other party summed up a lot of what he said in two sentences.

"Hmm......" Dongtian touched his small chin and thought.

After waiting for a few minutes, seeing that the other party was still pondering, the city lord finally couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't you seem to be in a hurry at all?" Obviously that deceives ...... I'm explaining that your brother said that you would die in six days, aren't you afraid? ”

"I'm afraid." Winter Day said.

Looking at the girl's calm appearance, the city lord felt that this answer was not convincing at all.

Dongtian added: "But you think, if my brother's memory is true, then no matter what I do, I can't change what has happened, and it's useless to be anxious; If it is false, or can be easily changed, then the so-called 'I will die in six days' argument is not convincing at all, so what should I be anxious about? ”。

Castle Lord: "......"

She couldn't refute it at all, but she still felt that something was wrong with the other party, this "sister of the summer night" was so rational that it seemed that there was no emotion at all, and it was difficult to find such a sane person even in the board full of old antiques.

"I'm more curious about why you're here, especially why you're here, than the so-called 'death in six days.'" Winter Day said again.

"Why?"

"According to what you just told me, you're pretty good, aren't you? To be more specific, is it the most powerful witch in the city called Debussota? ”

"That's right!" The city lord nodded proudly.

"But even an existence as powerful as you was involuntarily sent to this world by some mysterious force, which shows that the power is stronger than you, and there is often some special deep-seated reason for spending such a powerful force to achieve something, or - meaning, as if the reason why Lacey was sent back in time to save Sarah, who was hunted by the Terminator, was because Sarah's son Connor would become the leader of the human resistance in the future."

"Connor? Sarah? Terminator? The city lord looked curious.

"Ah, I'm sorry, but this is a very famous movie in our world, which I casually used as a metaphor...... Hey? Do you want to know the plot of this movie? ”

Seeing that the city lord nodded embarrassedly, Dongyang had to spend another 10 minutes narrating the plot of "The Terminator".

"Oh~~~ The movies in your world are quite interesting! When I'm usually bored, I like to ...... Uh, ahem......"

In the middle of speaking, the castle lord suddenly realized that his majestic image as the "strongest witch" was damaged, and he hurriedly stopped.

Then she saw Dongsun smile—she had thought that the other party would always have that expressionless expression.

But the smile lasted less than a second, and Dongbai then speculated, "Therefore, 'meaning' is probably the most crucial core of the whole thing, and if it can be clarified, maybe all doubts can be solved." ”

"What you say makes sense...", the city lord suddenly realized.

If only the other party could follow her back to Debussota, she couldn't help but think that all the mess in the board could be asked of her......

Winter Day's question interrupted her fantasy: "So, can you tell me what special abilities you have?" ”

"Huh?"

"Even if I just said, 'meaning', the reason why you came here must be because you can play a certain role to realize this 'meaning', right?" Dongtian patiently explained.

"Special Abilities......"

Speaking of this, the city lord suddenly became energetic, and even his thoughts were a little clearer:

"That's too many, like the Witch's Flame, which is a black flame that is almost impossible to extinguish until it burns an enemy, or the Flame Shadow, which can teleport people up to a hundred meters away; And ......"

She spoke for ten minutes before finally concluding: "...... Finally, there's the super powerful 'Ruins of Calamity', which can turn the entire city to ashes if you use it with all your might! ”

Dongyang listened carefully, and didn't interrupt her once, and waited until the other party finally finished speaking, and then asked, "All these abilities you said come from the 'witch contract' you mentioned earlier, right?" ”

"Hmm." The city lord nodded.

"Can you use the abilities of these contracts now?"

"No, because in my body—no, I should say that there is not a trace of magic in your body, not even a cup."

Winter Day pondered for a moment: "That...... Are there any witch contracts that you can use without magic? ”

"How can there be such a contract......... Yes! Yes, and I signed it, although I never used it. ”

"What is it?"

"Prayer...... It's a 'prayer'! At this moment, even the city lord realized that he and Dongyang seemed to have found the key.

"What kind of contract is the prayer for, can you elaborate on it?" Winter Day asked.

The lord quickly described the rules of the contract in detail.

"Pay the price upfront and make your wish come true...... It turns out that there is such a magical magic. After listening to it, Dongtian couldn't help but sigh.

"Can we test it?"

"I don't care, what do you want to pray for?" The lord asked.

Dongyang thought for a moment: "I pray that Dad's illness can be cured." ”

"Sick?"

"Liquefaction disease is a terminal disease in our world." She described liquefaction disease briefly.

"Sounds scary...... Actually, I don't recommend that you pray for this wish, because the price to be paid in advance must be very large, and if the advance payment is less, not only will the wish not be fulfilled, but the price will have to be paid. The city lord said.

"A big price? How big does it have to be? Winter Day asked.

The city lord spread his hands: "How do I know?" In short, it's too big for you to accept. ”

"I see."

Dongyang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "I have thought about the price." ”

"What is it?"

"In order to cure my father's illness, I am willing to accept the tragic ending of 'my future brother was seduced by other bad women, and I can only humbly pray for him to look at me more every day'."

The lord of the city looked at her like a madman, and after a long while, he spat out a syllable from his mouth: "............ Huh?? ”

But Dongtian pressed his hands to his chest, his eyes were serious and sad, not like he was joking at all.

"You...... You ...... "city lord" for a long time, and finally organized the second half of the sentence: "...... You're paying too little, isn't it? It can't be realized, absolutely can't be realized! ”

"It's not small!"

Speaking of his brother, Dong Tian even raised his voice by two points, "My brother promised me in the past that he would marry me as a bride in the future, and only marry me!" ”

"When was the past?"

"When I was six years old, my brother was seven."

Castle Lord: "I don't know much about you humans, but at the age of six, it's probably the same as when we witches first came out of the egg, right?" I don't know anything at all. ”

"My brother and I are both geniuses, and we already know everything when we are six years old, so don't compare us to you." Winter Day said angrily.

"......" The lord of the city felt as if he was being despised.

"Okay, okay, anyway, it's you who prays, and it's you who bears the price, so I don't care what happens." She gave up on convincing the other party, "So I'm going to start?" ”

Winter Day nodded.

The castle lord set the "wish" and "price" through his mind, and then read out the long witch text representing the "prayer" contract, and since she is "Winter Day" at the moment, the power of the contract will also act on Winter Day.

Theoretically, it is.

As the last syllable falls, silence returns to the dark space.

Dongyang looked around and looked at himself: "Nothing happened, didn't the contract come into effect?" ”

The city lord shook his head: "I don't know, sometimes even if the 'prayer' takes effect, there may not be any movement immediately, if something special happens in the next few days, it is probably your prayer that has been successful." ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day, a decisive breakthrough was made in the research of Dong Tian in the laboratory.

She succeeded in synthesizing "Twilight".
