"I probably won't be able to wait that long, and I have to have these materials ready in nine days."

Aaron took off his gloves, revealing centipede-like black lines on the back of his hand: "I've fallen under a very troublesome curse and urgently need these materials. ”

After he was cursed, he put on his gloves.

But this matter can't be hidden from Erin.

Because the first to see this curse were Ian and Tite.

Sure enough, Erin didn't show anything unusual after seeing the curse on the back of Aaron's hand, obviously knowing it for a long time.

"No wonder you asked me to help you inquire about the two unpopular materials of Nanritt black nematode and fragrant rot, it seems that you have already come into contact with that world." Erin hid it well, but Aaron still heard a hint of envy.

Envy?

Why would she be envious?

Aaron remembered what Lilytris' great-great-grandmother's notes had written—

It is a reflection of the past of this world, the ruins of history, where too many secrets are buried.

It is the nightmare of the spiritually conscious, and it is the shadow that we will be exposed to in the future.

'Could it be that not many people have access to the world of reflections?' Aaron guessed.

What kind of place is the Reflection World?

These questions haunted him.

"Aaron, you've awakened the talent of Gathriel's Black Snake, haven't you?"

Sure enough, his gifted 'Psychic Sense' was the root cause of his contact with the world of reflections!

Erin and her mother knew the Black Snake very well about Gaseriel, and Aaron was prepared when he took off his gloves and confessed to Erin.

"Yes, it was also because of this talent that I came into contact with the world of reflections."

"Aaron, in fact, these two materials are difficult to obtain due to the war.

However, I will do my best to help you get it within 9 days and give it to you at the original price.

In exchange, I need you to take one of my items and place it in a safe area of the Reflection World when you are able to actively explore the Reflection World. ”

"What item?"

Erin raised her right hand: "This ring on my little thumb, rest assured, it is just an ordinary ring, and it will not bring you any danger if you do so." ”

Aaron didn't sense the mana fluctuations from above: "Is this enough?" ”

Erin pursed her lips, and her bright eyes flashed with complex emotions: "That's enough." ”

Aaron pondered for a moment and promised:

"When I can explore the world of reflections, I will definitely find a safe place to hide this ring of yours."

"Thank you."

Erin changed her words: "This event was very successful, so the other chamber of commerce forces are also interested, Aaron, the difficulty of the competition for the second meditation rune will increase a lot, you have to be prepared." ”

Aaron had expected what Erin had said, and he took out the pen and paper he had with him and drew it in front of Erin.

After 3 minutes, Aaron stopped the tip of his pen and handed the paper to Erin:

"I have a new understanding of painting during this time, and it is better than the previous version."

Erin took the paper and looked down to watch it carefully, her blonde hair falling down her fair collarbones, and the dust in the air looming in the sunlight.

The room fell silent as Aaron waited for Irene's reply.

"It's incredible, it's like it's been printed." Erin put down the paper and exclaimed.

"Are you a monster? I was able to improve my skills so much in such a short period of time. ”

Aaron said without blinking: "If only I were really this kind of monster, this is the result of the accumulation of the past few years, and I have realized it in the past few days." ”

After the crimson is added, isn't he the one who sleeps and practices diligently in the little black room?

Erin accepted Aaron's explanation, she waved the manuscript paper in her hand, and said excitedly: "Aaron, I have a brilliant idea, we can focus on promoting your painting skills, so that even if you are not the first to cultivate the second meditation rune, you can still seize the market with the reputation accumulated in the past three days." ”

This new painting technique is equivalent to opening up a new track in Nainli, where oil painting is popular.

Aaron, as the 'pioneer' of this technique, is able to overtake in corners from the other side.

Of course, Aaron is well aware that this does not mean that he can rest easy.

What Erin said was based on the premise that the time it took him to cultivate the second meditation rune was not much different from that of other apprentices.

And there is such a thing as witchcraft in this world, Aaron will not narcissistically think that his current painting skills are unique products that cannot be reproduced through witchcraft!

I have to learn from the mobile phone manufacturers in my previous life, and I only need to improve a little bit at a time. ’

With this in mind, Aaron decided that the second Meditation Rune's deconstruction accuracy would only need to be improved by a fraction of what it was like the first.

Aaron communicated his ideas to Erin in a timely manner, and Erin was very supportive.

Aaron is a gifted Gathriel Black Snake bloodliner, and it is beneficial for her to continue to befriend Aaron and deepen their relationship.

"Aaron, while it's still early, I'll take you to Wizard Mann's pet."

"It's back?" Aaron was overjoyed.

If you can learn the second meditation rune in advance, you can successfully cultivate one day earlier.

"Well, it's back, you asked Ian and Tite to buy the Dark Willow Protozoa, and we'll go straight to find it!"

The errands are left to Ian and Tite.

They are physically strong, far faster than Aaron, and don't lose too much time.

In between the moments, Aaron and Erin talk a little more about Wizard Mann and the Red-Eyed Raven.

About a quarter of an hour later, Ian and Teart returned, armed with a pitch-black wooden box.

Erin opened the wooden box to check, Aaron looked up, and there were two dark willow protozoa lying quietly inside, with knuckle thickness and flesh.

The body seems to be soft, but it is actually harder than steel, and if it is consumed for a long time, it can improve the affinity of the life and dark elemental energy particles of the eater.

"Let's go." Erin closed the wooden box and handed it to Aaron: "Later, you can see my eyes, just send the Dark Willow Protozoa, and leave the rest to me." ”

"Okay, Miss Irene!"

......

Aaron and Erin got into a carriage, which was horse-drawn but fast, not much slower than a sedan on the highway.

After driving on a special road for about half an hour, they came to a flood in front of a flood.

The two stepped out of the carriage, and Erin reminded:

"Don't come here alone until you become an intermediate apprentice."

Aaron looked at Hong Ze in front of him, and he suddenly felt that his residence was facing the lake, and it was like a small puddle in front of this endless ocean.

The islands are dotted on this flood, and the water is rippling, and the scorching sun shines on the water, causing sparkling waves.

Flocks of hovering waterfowl swoop from the air and rush into the lake to hunt.

Some of the islands here have been highly developed to form a small town, while others have remained pristine with only a lone castle standing in the middle of the forest.

A considerable number of the islands are connected by roads for easy access.

Looking at such a vast Hongze and a vast number of islands, Aaron secretly smacked his tongue: "How big is Jialan Academy?" ”
