But after thinking about it, Alan didn't think it was quite like it. Now the Winslow family still has a firm grip on the control of the Magic Management Society, even if they are dissatisfied with some of their family's actions, but basically everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out, including Professor Fran, Professor Rochelle and Professor Watson, who dare to oppose the Winslow family like this, Menisha Frost is the first.

The two said goodbye at the T-junction when they entered the Four Seasons Garden, and went back to their rooms.

Before leaving, Cynthia didn't forget to remind Alan: "At eight o'clock in the evening, I'll be waiting for you at the steps in front of the main entrance of the library, don't forget." ”

"Uh...... Good. ”

Ivan was the only one in the room when Alan returned.

Riel probably woke up and couldn't stay in the house again, and didn't know where he had gone, and didn't come back from outside until nearly half-past six.

The two of them set off after a little preparation. Riel also didn't forget to bring the gift he had for Alyssa.

It was not yet seven o'clock when they arrived at the restaurant. I thought I would have to wait a little longer, but I was surprised to find that Alyssa was already sitting upright at the table waiting for them.

"I didn't expect you to come so early. Alan sat down across from Alyssa and said, "What is Professor Frost looking for you?"

"It didn't matter, it just gave me a little catch-up. Alyssa lowered her head and her eyes fixed on the table.

"Oh, I'm so glad for you, it looks like she expects quite a lot from you!" Alan laughed.

However, Alyssa didn't have any expression on her face: "Maybe she thinks I'm not trying hard enough." ”

"Uh...... You're too modest. Allen said.

Riel also noticed that Alyssa seemed to be in a low mood today, and looked at Alan with a slightly questioning look, but Alan only shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he didn't know anything either.

"That's right...... This one is for you. Riel placed the small cage on the table and pushed it to Alyssa.

Surprised, Alyssa lifted the corner of the cage and looked at Riel with an inquiring look.

"It's a memory bird...... Well, you and Alan often have to work it, and I think it might help you......" Riel was a little cautious as he said this.

During the two days he spent in Crivari, he did almost nothing, except for shopping and thinking about Alyssa. The senior who was his guide was originally quite interested, but when he saw what he said, he didn't react to what he said, at most he nodded, and then he simply left Riel to play by himself.

But thanks to the fact that no one bothered him, Riel finally figured out that the reason why Alyssa didn't go to Krivari City was because Alan didn't go either.

"Did I annoy her somewhere?" Riel had been searching for an answer to that question for the past two days, but couldn't find it until she returned.

"Or ......" Riel didn't want to think any further. That's the last thing he wants.

When pushing the cage towards Alyssa, Riel was a little uneasy, and his hand even trembled a little, for fear that Alyssa would suddenly push it back again.

But what Alyssa said next finally relieved him.

"Thank you, it's beautiful. Alyssa said, smiling a rare glat at Riel, "I think it's going to help me a lot." ”

"Uh-huh, hmm! It's beautiful, I think it's pretty too!" Seeing that Alyssa liked it, Riel was a little incoherent with excitement, or didn't know what he was talking about.

However, Alan couldn't be happy for some reason, because now he was even more sure that the reason why Alyssa was in an abnormal mood today was because of him. But he couldn't figure out what made her unhappy.

Throughout the dinner, Alyssa had a good time chatting with Riel, who told her everything she had seen in Crivari City without stopping. Alyssa laughed the whole time, ignoring Alan at all, only occasionally glancing at him.

In Allen's impression, it seems that the two of them have never said so much, and it is the first time they have talked so speculatively. Because Riel always likes to wander around, and Alyssa's attention is mostly on books.

Alan struggled to figure out why Alyssa was angry with him as he lowered his head to eat, rarely interjecting. And even if he did, Alyssa simply responded with a sentence or two, as if she didn't want to deal with him at all.

By the time they finished eating, it was past half-past seven, but Rare didn't bother to stop at all, and Alan had to sit back and watch them chat.

This feeling of being completely left aside was not pleasant, and after thinking about it, he decided to go to Cynthia's appointment first.

"You two talk slowly, I still have some things, so I won't accompany you. Alan said as he got up.

But what he didn't expect was that Alyssa suddenly stopped him at this time: "Wait!"

Riel was stunned for a moment. He was talking happily with his eyebrows fluttering, but he saw Alyssa's smile suddenly disappear from his face, replaced by a serious expression that he was all too familiar with.

"What?" Alan was also stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Alyssa to have something to say to him.

"You ......" seemed to be difficult to speak, Alyssa seemed a little hesitant, and after a long time she whispered, "It's so late, why are you going?"

"Go to Cynthia, we have an appointment to meet at eight o'clock. ”

"Oh...... It's her ...... again," Alyssa looked disappointed when she heard this, and bowed her head in a soft response.

"To meet her?" asked Riel, a little strange.

"Hmm...... I'm going to go to the library and check something up. Thinking of Cynthia's instructions, Alan felt that it was better not to tell them about the banned books.

However, Alyssa suddenly said: "But unlike last night, there are clouds tonight, and you can't see the stars." ”

Allen's heart tightened when he heard this, and he looked at Alyssa blankly.

She also slowly raised her head and stared at Allen, her eyes seemed to be full of grievances.

"Last night...... You saw it all?!" Alan instantly understood what was going on.

No wonder Alyssa was so cold to him today, it turned out that she was also near the square last night! and mistakenly thought that his chance meeting with Cynthia was agreed.

"I'm so stupid, I should have thought that since she didn't go to the city with her, she must have spent most of her time in the library......" Alan couldn't help but pat his head and thought, "That's too bad, I'm afraid I can't explain it now......"

But looking at Alyssa's eyes, the next second Alan was shocked again: "If that's the case, could it be that she also took that book?!"

"What did you see?" Alan quickly asked, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

"All. Alyssa stared at him tightly: "You and her, the book, and a person whose whole body will glow." ”

"What is this?" Riel looked at the two of them in a daze, completely unable to understand what they were saying.

However, Alan and Alyssa ignored him and still looked at each other.

Although there are not many people in the restaurant now, in order to avoid crowds, Alan still pulls Alyssa to the bench where he often sits in the Four Seasons Garden.

The neighborhood is as secluded as ever.

"That book......" Alan sweated a little on his forehead due to nervousness, "Did you take that book!?"

Alyssa didn't speak.

"Tell me, is it you!?" Alan was a little anxious, and his tone became much heavier.

"Do you only care about that book?" Alyssa's eyes began to roll with tears and her emotions became more and more agitated, "Or in your eyes, I am not only inferior to her, but not even a book?"

Alan was also a little panicked when he saw her reaction, and suddenly didn't know how to explain to her, so he could only deny it again and again: "No, that's not what I meant...... I ......"

But he didn't explain why he was hesitant for a long time.

Alyssa didn't want to stay any longer, wiped the corner of her eye with her sleeve, and turned to leave.

At this time, Alan was really anxious, and he couldn't care so much, so he shouted at her: "That book is dangerous!

His words seemed to have some effect, at least Alyssa stood still when she heard it.

Riel seemed to have guessed seven or eight points at this time, and approached Alan and whispered, "Hey, what book you said...... It can't be the forbidden book of magic, right?"

"That's it. Alan hesitated, nodded, and continued, "Even the elves say that the book is dangerous, so I think it's better for us not to touch it." ”

"Elves, what elves?" asked Riel, scratching his head again.

But before Alan could explain to him, Alyssa finally spoke: "I don't know where it went. ”

She still hadn't looked back, but her tone seemed to have returned to normal.

"I heard singing and wanted to see who it was, and I saw you both. Alyssa turned around and said slowly, "I can only see the silhouette of my body, but I don't think I'm mistaken." ”

Alan also nodded: "Yes, that is indeed me and her." I saw such a wonderful starlight and wanted to look at it in the square, but I didn't expect her to be there. ”

Alyssa bit her lip when she heard this answer, lowered her head and fell silent again.

"And then?" asked Alan again.

Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had let go of something, and her tone returned to her previous indifference: "I saw you two looking at the stars and chatting together, and then the immortal tree suddenly began to glow...... I took a closer look, only to see a human-like figure emerging from the tree. ”

"That's Heplus, the immortal tree elf. Now, now that Alyssa has seen it, Alan has simply confessed, "I don't know why he appeared, but he suddenly appeared after she chanted the incantation from that book. ”

"Yes, I did see a book, which she held in her hand at first and then set it aside...... There was also a faint glow. Alyssa continued.

"That's right! That's it, and that's why I met her tonight!" asked Alan, "Do you see who took it...... Or ......"

"I didn't take it. Alyssa said, staring into Alan's eyes.

"I believe in you. Alan also stared at her and nodded, "That's ......"

"Actually...... There was another person in the room last night. Alyssa said suddenly, "I saw him approaching the book while you weren't looking......"

Alan was shocked when he heard this: There is another person!?

Alan's mind was in turmoil, this matter should not have been known to anyone other than him and Cynthia, but now......

After a long time, Alan asked again, his voice trembling a little because of nervousness: "Who is it?"

Alyssa hesitated for a moment, lowered her head and thought for a moment before saying, "If I'm not mistaken...... That figure should be Frey Wagbyne. ”
