In the empty hall, Victor sat alone in a chair, holding up a teacup and taking a sip of steaming tea from time to time.

Vega crawled down on his shoulder, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.

Xiang Zilan stood quietly to the side, with a gentle smile on her face.

It was getting late, but none of them left, as if they were waiting for something.

The crow seemed to be trying to keep it from falling asleep, unconsciously struggling to take care of its wings from time to time, and raising its head from time to time.

After a while, Aurelian returned alone.

The paleness of her face had not faded, and when she walked, her body swayed a little, and she looked tired and weak.

Xiang Zilan hurriedly stepped forward and walked over to help Aurelian.

It wasn't until she walked in front of Victor that Aurelian said hello weakly.

"Teacher."

Seeing Aurelian's arrival, Victor put down the teacup in his hand:

"How does it feel?"

Aurelian smiled reluctantly, pointed to her chest and said:

"It's a little uncomfortable."

She didn't think she would feel anything after coming here to worship her mother, whom she had never met.

But in fact, I only knew after experiencing it.

In her heart, there was still a dull feeling pressing on her heart.

But what was more difficult for her to accept than seeing her mother's discomfort was the cause of her mother's unknown death.

Why, the father is so powerful, but he can't protect his mother.

Aurelian felt a little scared.

It's like what my father told her.

No one will be able to protect her for the rest of her life.

What about teachers?

Aurelian thought about the underground prison again.

Teacher Victor disappeared once more.

Although she knew very well that it was the teacher who was testing her, hoping that she could grow in the crisis.

But if one day, she encounters a terrible monster that she will never be able to defeat.

At that time, no one was able to protect her, like her mother.

Vulnerable, helpless.

Aurelian placed her hands on her chest, feeling her heart beat strongly.

Her father will pass away, and in the future, Teacher Victor will also leave her.

Aurelian looked up and looked at Victor with a little burning.

Someday.

She'll also become,

Nothing?

……

In the end, Aurelian went back listlessly.

It was Xiang Zilan who helped her go back.

As she left, Xiang Zilan helped her to sit on the bed, and she bowed to her.

"Your Royal Highness, I'm nearby."

"Call me if you need anything."

With that, she pushed the door open, leaving Aurelian with plenty of room for herself.

When Xiangzilan left, Aurelian tilted her head and lay back.

She just looked at the ceiling, looking at everything around her.

Finally, Aurelian finally knew.

This was once her mother's cosy room.

No wonder, she came to such a strange place, but she only felt warm and relieved in this room.

Turning her head, she saw the old doll that had been sewn up over the years.

So Aurelian reached out and took it.

Suddenly, a cold wind blew open the curtains.

Pale pink curtains floated across Aurelian's face, and the cold wind cut through the cracks in the window, gently brushing her long eyelashes.

Aurelian looked up and sat up sharply.

But at this moment, behind him, he felt an invisible, deep embrace.

The surrounding scenery seemed to move slowly before Aurelian's eyes, and time seemed to be stretched out, like a river that gradually froze in winter.

The raised curtain did not fall in her eyes, but rolled in mid-air at a slow pace.

The sound of the curtain that had been fluttering out did not sound, and silence enveloped her body.

It seems that even the heartbeat in my heart has slowed down slightly because of this.

When she came back to her senses, everything in the room was back to normal.

The wind dissipated, and the curtains fell gently.

It's as if nothing had happened.

It's just the moment I bow my head, and the doll in my hand disappears.

In its place, there is a string of sparkling necklaces.

At the end of the necklace is a sapphire resembling the depths of the sea, which follows the light as if there are ripples of sea flowing in it.

She tried to raise her right hand and stroke the gem that had suddenly appeared.

But I suddenly saw that the scar on my right wrist disappeared inexplicably.

Restored to its former fair and smooth skin.

Even the pain was gone.

She didn't understand, but gently reached out and touched the gem.

The back of the necklace is engraved with thin handwriting.

Aurelian read it carefully, and couldn't help but read it:

'My child—'

'You will shine like a jewel.' ’

Suddenly, Wind Breath burst out of the room.

The windows were re-opened,

Aurelian felt a sudden trance in her heart, and a wave of amazement swept through her body.

"Huh?"

Before she knew it, a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye.

Tick –

Clear tears dripped down the sapphires of the necklace, shimmering with a sparkling shimmer.

There was silence all around, and Aurelian sat alone on the edge of the bed, letting the tears on her cheeks.

……

In the empty living room, only Victor was left.

He got up again and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.

It's not season yet, but snowflakes are gradually drifting outside.

Perhaps remembering the burning look in Aurelian's eyes as she left, he asked Vega.

"Vega."

"Before, did you want to help Aurelian?"

Vega was completely sleepy when Victor said this, stretched her neck, and looked at Victor:

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"How did she respond to you?"

Hearing Victor's words, Vega suddenly came to his senses, flapped his dark wings, and opened his beak wide.

"Oh my God, that's what you say?"

"You know what, she turned me down."

……

It was still in the depths of Guanta Prison, in the land of the stars.

Aurelian half-crouched on top of the golden sand, watching piles of white bones rise and fall slowly.

At this moment, the dark green magic light has weakened, and it cannot support it for a long time, and it is about to dissipate.

At that time, Aureli's peace of mind was overflowing with endless confusion and helplessness.

Her inability to control the dragon means that she will not be able to pass the test set by Mr. Victor, and she will be more likely to drag down Prisis in the face of enemy attacks.

The inner struggle propelled her to anxiety like never before.

At this moment, a hoarse voice echoed in her mind.

She felt a deep, mysterious one-eyed staring back at her.

Accompanied by ghostly voices full of temptation sounded from all directions:

'Do you need my help?' ’

I can give you a lot of magic at no cost to you. ’

Aurelian heard the voice of temptation, and a flash of realization flashed through her heart.

"Magic ......"

Just as the strange voice in my heart said.

There was only one reason why this fifth-order demon dragon could not be resurrected.

Not enough magic.

Although being a necromancer doesn't rely much on mana reserves, it's based on summoning the undead in the realm of the dead.

And Aurelian, there is not even the realm of the dead.

All she could do was summon the undead that existed in the real world

It takes a lot of magic to support it.

While Aurelian was still hesitating, the voice in her heart sounded again:

Trust me, you don't have to pay anything. ’

Hearing this, Aurelian's eyes were a little confused.

"Power ......"

Sure enough, she was still too weak.

The deep one-eye in his heart stared deeply at her.

Its dark abyssal tentacles stretched.

It seems that as long as she accepts the temptation, she will be firmly grasped by this tentacle and pulled into the depths of the abyss little by little.

But......

"I refuse."

Knock - Knock - Knock -

The voice in the depths of his heart came to an abrupt end, accompanied by a dull heartbeat.

Vast amounts of magical energy surged through Aurelian's body.

It was like a giant beast waking up from the bottom of the sea, propping up countless seawater waters and falling back into them.

Even though Aurelian's level is only second-order, having a mana reserve may be comparable to that of a third-order mage.

However, even if she was a third-order mage, her lack of magic power still couldn't resurrect a demon dragon.

So Aurelian took out the magic potion from her clothes.

With the dissipation of the magic, the madness poured into the mouth.

Soon, all that remained on the ground were countless clear glass bottles.

The corpse of the demon dragon showed some faint reactions, but the magic power was still like a fragile candle flame, flickering.

The magic is still not enough.

But it was clear that she didn't want to fall short.

So, Aurelian gritted her teeth and jerked her sword out of her belt.

The long sword fell on the wrist of the right hand.

Cold sweat was already breaking out in the palms of his hands, and his palms trembled involuntarily.

But the long sword seemed to be frozen, and it couldn't be slashed.

And the illusory voice in her heart seemed to be anxiously dissuaded:

You just have to say yes to me, so why bother? ’

"I said, I don't need to."

The dissuasion of the voice not only did not shake Aurelian's determination, but only strengthened her mind.

"My teacher told me that I have the most powerful talent in the world."

She took a deep breath:

"I'm willing to believe him."

[First Order Magic - Autosuggestion]

At this moment, a light flashed in Aurelian's eyes.

She gritted her teeth, the sword in her hand slashing across her wrist like lightning.

Puff –

Blood was as hot as boiling water, gushing out.

The pain from the sharp blade caused Aurelian to fall to the ground in agony.

She could no longer hold the blade in her hand, so she had to toss it aside.

Although she gave herself a hint of resolute self-harm, she could not completely hide the stinging pain.

But that's okay, just give a hint and forget about it.

Blood continued to drain from the wound, and the wrist felt numb

But the magic that flowed back in her body surprised Aurelian.

She pulled out the blood-red potion she had hidden in her arms.

And this was also given to her by Teacher Victor.

It has the same effect as the magical potion.

The wound on her right hand quickly disappeared, and her blood was replenished.

But the magic needed is still not enough.

She continued to pour the scarlet potion, feeling the life rush back into her body.

Slit the blood of her wrist and trade it for her magic.

Cycle.

……

"In the end, as you can see, the dragon was successfully enslaved by her."

Vega said with a hint of emotion in her eyes, as if she missed what had happened on the ground floor of Guanta Prison.

The second-order body enslaves the fifth-order undead demon dragon.

I'm afraid that if you don't see this kind of thing with your own eyes, no one will believe it.

It seems that the bloodline of the Thor family is more perverted than the other.

Vega was silent for a long time, as if to indicate something, and spoke again:

"She didn't even blink an eye at herself, and I really couldn't think of anything that could make her cry."

"yes."

Victor looked out the window with emotion.

The falling snowflakes seemed to be constantly changing.

"Ma'am, do you hear that?"

"Your child is far stronger and more dazzling than you think."

"So don't worry—"

The snowflakes fluttered and gradually turned into the figure of a woman.

With a smile that she couldn't see clearly, with a final relief, she bowed lightly to Victor and Vega.

Until the snowflakes breathed against the wind and blew away her figure.

also took away the last trace of life she left in the world.

"She won't shed any more tears."
