This sentence was like a boulder smashed into Allen's heart, and he couldn't help but think of the first time he spoke to Cynthia.

In the statue showroom that day, the two of them met for the first time, but they unexpectedly felt familiar. Needless to say, it only takes a few words for the other party to understand what they mean, and only they know what the other person is talking about. Riel even became jealous of this incident, feeling that Cynthia and him were more like old friends than he had known for a long time.

I remembered that day in the library, the first time I was alone with Cynthia, obviously the two did not make an appointment to meet, but they coincidentally came to the same table, and the chat was also relaxed and happy.

At that time, Cynthia told him that they were very similar, but Alan only noticed it at the time, and did not understand it.

Now he understands, all understands...... I understand why I feel a little different when I am with Cynthia, that kind of relaxation, which even Riel and Alyssa have never brought him, why I am always inexplicably happy when I talk to her, which makes him laugh constantly when he is usually taciturn, and why he is not very good at dealing with girls, but he always thinks a little about this girl who has only known each other for two weeks.

Looking at Cynthia in front of him, Alan found that their slightly unique personalities, keen intuition, insistent beliefs, persistence in certain things, and the loneliness hidden deep in their hearts were so similar.

She's like another ego in the mirror, but with a different appearance.

"This can be regarded as a kind of luck...... "The Hepu continent is so vast, but it is possible to meet such a person here, Alan can't help but feel a little emotional.

"But why is this happening...... Obviously thousands of miles away from her,......" Alan couldn't help but think.

Eyes met, and he fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Alan was in a daze, Cynthia was also silent for a moment before asking, "You just said that you haven't seen your parents either, right?"

"Hmm...... Soon after I was born, my whereabouts were unknown. Alan came back to his senses and replied.

"Oh, then I'm not mistaken. Cynthia stared into his eyes and said, "I don't know why, but similar pasts always make similar people." ”

Similar past.

Hearing this, Alan suddenly began to want to know everything Cynthia had been through in the past, to ask her what had made her who she was, and to ask what she thought about her and her parents' practices.

But as soon as he thought of this, Allen's mood couldn't help but become a little heavy, and he didn't want to continue thinking about it, so he had to nod: "Probably what you said is right......"

"Hmm...... But it doesn't seem to be exactly the same......" Seeing Alan's reaction, Cynthia thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "For example, I don't like to live in the past, or waste time on things that don't make sense...... And you always seem to like to get to the bottom of things, to find the root and the truth of everything. ”

Cynthia's words were a little difficult to understand.

Alan frowned slightly, and was silent for a long time, trying to understand what she meant.

Cynthia smiled again when she saw that he was in a daze again, shook her head and began to walk alone in the square.

After standing in one position for a long time, her legs would be a little uncomfortable, but after a little movement, she felt much better, and she raised her head again to look at the stars with great interest.

Alan looked at her slowly pacing figure.

But the silence didn't last long.

Just when Alan was still in a daze, he suddenly heard Cynthia, who had walked to the other side of the immortal tree, say, "What is this?"

"What?" Alan didn't react for a moment, and looked over to the immortal tree, only to find that the tree was blocking his view.

But Alan's question was not answered, and Cynthia surprisingly did not speak.

Alan wanted to go over to check the situation, but he just moved but his legs and feet were numb because of standing for a long time. When he walked a few steps to the bottom of the tree, he heard Cynthia suddenly start talking to herself inexplicably for some reason.

"Listen to it...... Thy body is what I see, this is the destiny of heaven, thy name is known to me, this is what I want, thy 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, coexist with me, and thou shalt never be unscrupulous...... There is no shackle between me and you, but a fetter ......."

Alan was startled, and quickly looked behind the tree, and found Cynthia holding a thick book in her hand, her eyes fixed on one of the pages, as if she was enchanted, muttering it.

The book was peculiar, smaller than the textbook but much thicker than the textbook, and the pages had a faint golden glow.

Alan wanted to ask what was going on, but when he saw what the cover looked like, he was surprised that he couldn't make a sound.

The flickering, faint blue-purple light, just like it had been eight years ago, caught Allen's gaze tightly and could no longer be removed......

But it was fortunate that old Adrian's admonition sounded in his ears at the right time, like thunder, to wake him up from this slightly demagogic light.

"This is ......" Alan couldn't believe his eyes, his heart was about to jump out, "The book?!"

"That's an ominous omen!" "It's a color that is bordered by death!" Thinking of the danger that old Adrian repeatedly emphasized, Allen's heart couldn't help but tighten, sweat began to break out on his forehead, and he quickly shouted at Cynthia: "Danger!

But it's too late...... For Cynthia had already read all the contents of the book before this: "If this vow can be conveyed to your heart, it should be answered to me by this reason!"

As soon as Cynthia's words fell, Alan saw that the crown of the immortal tree suddenly began to glow, and gradually, even the trunk began to glow, and it became more and more dazzling, making it impossible for Alan to look directly. In a few moments, it lit up the entire square.

Not knowing what was going to happen, he took a few steps forward, holding Cynthia's hand and slowly backing back. Cynthia was also stunned for a moment at this time, as if she had returned to normal, holding the book tightly in her hand, and slowly retreating with Alan.

However, they had just retreated not far when they tripped over the roots of the immortal tree at the same time, and they both squatted on the ground. Alan struggled to get up, only to find that they had been caught rather than tripped up, for the roots were wrapped around their feet as if consciously, bound tightly.

Alan was sweating nervously.

With a faint rustling sound, in this dazzling light, Alan vaguely saw that the immortal tree seemed to crack in the middle...... A thing with a canopy on its head came out of it and came towards them.

Allen's mind was flustered, his mind went blank, and he couldn't think, and only the old Adrian's admonition still echoed in his ears.

He looked at Cynthia nervously, hoping that she could use her lightning magic to cut off these roots that didn't look too hard, but to his surprise, although she was also surprised, she didn't have the slightest intention of running, and muttered, "This is ......"

"She seems to have seen it?" Alan was a little confused, but he was a little relieved, and turned back to look at the immortal tree.

By this time, the light of the tree had gradually faded. Eventually, the entire tree's light was gone, and only a translucent, human-like creature stood in front of them.

With a flick of his hand, the root that grabbed their ankles slowly loosened, and Alan and Cynthia saw that it didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and quickly got up from the ground.

However, when Alan looked at it closely, he was surprised to find that the "unknown thing" looked like a middle-aged man, as he looked almost exactly like a human except for the strange glow on his body...... The same facial features, the same figure, the same limbs, deep eyes, handsome face and majestic spirit.

Oh, and a little different - he's floating in mid-air.

"I didn't expect to see ...... with my own eyes," Cynthia suddenly muttered after being stunned for a long time.

"What?" Alan looked at her in surprise.

"Elves. Cynthia said as she looked up at the "person" in front of her.

"Elves?" Alan was taken aback again, the word he had only seen a few times in books, and it was always in legends or stories.

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the elf. Cynthia looked back at Ellen and said, "I secretly saw it in my grandfather's notes...... It has the same facial features and limbs as a human, but parts of its body take on the characteristics of a plant, glowing and floating in mid-air...... This is the elf. ”

"Oh...... It seems that you are the one who called me out. Before Alan could reply, the elf suddenly opened his mouth, and his voice was thick.

Alan was startled and looked back at him again.

"Amazing little girl. The elf walked around them, but there was no sound of footsteps. Alan noticed that although he kept walking, his feet did not fall to the ground at all.

"I am Heplus, the immortal tree elf. As he spoke, he pulled out a roll of parchment from his bosom and handed it to Cynthia.

"Immortal Tree Elf?" Thinking of the voice he heard during the magic appraisal, which was completely different from the current one, Alan was a little puzzled, turned his head sideways at the Immortal Tree and asked, "Then he is ...... again"

"He?" said Heplus, glancing back, "oh, you're probably talking about my cousin...... Or rather, another me. ”

Alan stared at him blankly, completely unconvinced.

Seeing Allen's stunned appearance, Heplus smiled slightly and said, "Usually I sleep in another place, and I rely on him to help me deal with external interference. But I don't know what he did or what he said. ”

"What am I going to do next?" Cynthia had already taken the parchment and looked at him puzzled.

"Open it, of course, and put your palm on it. Heples said.

"Why?" asked Cynthia.

"Why?" said Heplus, who was surprised this time, and looked at her carefully, "Didn't you summon me to sign this contract?"

"Contract?" Cynthia was stunned.

"You don't seem to know anything?" Hepples didn't speak for a long time after hearing this answer, but just stared at her meaningfully. Then after a long time, she stared at the book in her hand and said thoughtfully, "Could it be ...... Is it a guide from it?"
