"Hey, do you have any plans?" asked Menriel, who had just walked out of Old Adrian's house. He wasn't very interested in his real identity or something, because he was very satisfied with his current life and didn't want to trouble himself anymore, but if Alan could really call an elf, he really wanted to see it.

"Hmm......" Alan nodded slightly, then turned his head to look, and stopped talking.

"Don't just nod, you mean it......" Rare was a little confused by his reaction.

But Alan didn't say anything, and it wasn't until they walked out of the woods and almost reached the door of the house that they finally spoke: "I don't want Kelly to hear, you know, he has a very sensitive ear......"

"Don't want him to hear it?" Riel looked at him strangely.

"Yes...... Although Mr. Audrian has helped us a lot, I don't think everything he says is right. Alan lowered his head and lowered his voice as low as he could, "For example, regarding that magic book, from my previous contact, it doesn't seem to be as dangerous as he said...... Also, about summoning elves......"

"I also think it's a bit strange for him to react today, maybe the part about the elves was made up by him to scare us. Riel said.

"No, there may indeed be such a relationship between elves and flower fairies. Alan shook his head, "It's not this that makes me feel a little wrong, it's the magic he said about summoning elves...... The magic he was talking about had several distinct features: there was a magical link between the summoner's forcible appearance of the elves through spells, and the elves' absolute obedience to the summoner's commands...... Do you know what that means?"

Riel shook his head.

"It's all about the magic link. The reason why there is a magic link is because the summoner needs to provide a constant stream of mana to the elves through it...... In other words, the elves summoned through this magic have a master-servant relationship with the summoner, and the elves rely on the magic provided by the summoner to maintain their existence, so they will obey the summoner. At the same time, it has also changed from resides in plants to resides in the summoner's body or attaches to the surface of the body, but we can't see its existence. ”

"Well, that seems to be the case......" Riel scratched his head, as if he didn't understand, "and then?"

"But it's very different from the scene I watched Cynthia summon the immortal tree spirit that night......" Alan said as he recalled, frowning slightly, "Although the elves were forcibly appeared, the effect of the magic that Cynthia used, that is, the magic recorded in that magic book, was significantly different...... Heplus signs something similar to a contract with Cynthia when he appears, and explicitly tells Cynthia that he will not respond to her requests, but will only appear if Cynthia fulfills the contents of the contract. Cynthia's words were not so much an order as a plea, in exchange for Heplus's unilateral help, to fulfill her promise. And they didn't seem to have any magic connection at all, because I could see clearly when Heplus disappeared, and he was back in the Tree of Immortality, and he didn't have to rely on Cynthia's magic to exist at all. ”

"Uh...... So?" Riel was a little foggy, the nuances between the magic were a little hard for him to understand, and he just wanted to hear the conclusion now.

"So...... I'm going to give it a try......" Alan bit his lip and whispered, "Since there is no magical connection with the elves, there is no need to worry about them eventually degenerating into dryads and flower demons......"

"Try what?" Riel was a little excited when he heard this, "Summoning Anna or Lilith?"

"Hmm......" Alan nodded, but still looked a little hesitant, "but Mr. Audrian might be angry if he finds out......"

Ever since the Frost incident, Alan has always had a suspicion in his heart, that is, about his own background. Just before they returned, they had another birthday at school. Alan is now fifteen years old, and he has been guessing about his parents' whereabouts for more than a decade. Although he gets along well with Connor's family, and the Connor couple treat him almost as their own son, and even makes him sometimes have thoughts such as "so-called parents, probably this ......is how it feels", but whenever he has dinner or occasionally goes on a trip together, seeing the scene of Connor's family reuniting and talking and laughing together, Alan still feels like an outsider, which makes him feel that everything he says will seem abrupt and will destroy such a harmonious atmosphere. And perhaps it was this accumulation that caused him to be extremely sensitive inside, even if the Connor couple treated him well, greeted him with warmth, and made him feel the subtle difference between their treatment of Riel and him. It was a difference that words could not describe, and if I had to find a word to describe it, it was that there seemed to be a thin layer of glass between him and them, and although he could see the smiling face on the other side of the glass, he could not feel the temperature from that side.

"My parents...... Is it someone like them?" Alan couldn't help but think about it, and he couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if they did meet one day, and what he should say at that time. However, he was expectant and a little resistant, because if that day came, he was afraid that he would be tempted to blame them and ask them why they had left him alone.

But since Allen got into that school, his mindset has started to change. The immortal tree's words made him question his true identity, and when he thought of his parents going out to find something, he began to feel that their family really had some special fate. And later, when Frost clearly said that they had an inseparable relationship with the four guardians back then, he was even more sure in his heart that they were by no means ordinary people, and it must be meaningful for them to gather together according to the arrangement of fate. But when he returned home this time, he couldn't help but suspect that he might have been mistaken, because Mr. and Mrs. Connor were still living a calm life as before, eating, working, sleeping, and completely ordinary people's lives, and the town was still as peaceful and peaceful as before. This confusion is like a thorn in his heart, which will poke him from time to time, making him want to forget it.

And right now, he was holding a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pull out this thorn, and he didn't want to let it go so easily.

"It's okay, only the two of us know about it!" Riel's eyes lit up, "Anyway, after listening to your analysis for a long time, it doesn't seem to have any terrible side effects, so you can try it!"

Riel said these words purely with a mentality of watching the excitement, what is not the background, it is the same for him, anyway, the days he has to live every day are still eating, sleeping and studying. However, since he heard that Alan had seen elves at school, he had always been interested in the kind of creatures that Alan described that looked quite magical and had a strong sense of mystery, and he had always thought that he must take a good look at the chance, and this opportunity finally came.

The two of them were now standing next to Anna.

"That'...... All right. Alan said, motioning for Riel to stay away from Anna, and then after thinking about it for a while, he slowly began to chant the incantation: "Listen to this: your body is what I see, this is the destiny of heaven, your name is known to me, this is what I want, your power is for my use, this is where righteousness lies...... I hereby swear that for the rest of my life I will do everything in my power to rid the world of evil and protect those who are good in heart. Thou shalt be with me at all times, and live with me without reluctance. There is no shackle between me and you, but a fetter ......."

This spell Eren was all too familiar, because not only that night, but also when he was in the spinning book house, he had heard Cynthia recite it many times, and he had already known it by heart.

"If this oath can be conveyed to your heart, then it should be answered to me as it comes!"
