"Fate's choice ......" Alan muttered as he stared at Will.

"Yes, fate. Will nodded slightly, then stared at Alan and asked, "Is there a moment that makes you feel that it is predestined to meet certain people at certain times and places?" ”

Allen's heart tightened when he heard these words, and he began to feel a little inexplicably excited.

He swallowed and nodded slowly, somewhat startled by his own thoughts. Because his first instinct was not Riel, nor Alyssa, but Cynthia.

"That's it. Will looked at him earnestly, "Just like at this time, such you, an explorer who likes to follow the truth, appear here. And I also appeared at this time, again as a replacement and a new leader...... This is fate, or what you call it, a coincidence. ”

Alan didn't really understand, but he felt that what Will said seemed to be right, because he could sense a strong sense of fate quietly rising in his heart.

"But who can say whether it is fate or coincidence, and who is qualified to judge all this?" Will raised his head and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if to say to himself: "Maybe there is no such thing as fate at all, some are just coincidences, or maybe all coincidences are just part of fate." ”

Alan looked at the dwarf in front of him, and suddenly felt that there was a certain temperament in him that seemed familiar, and the tone of his voice did not look like the calmness and maturity that would appear in him. Compared to a dwarf, at this moment he is more like a wise man who has gone through vicissitudes.

"It seems like too much to say irrelevant things. Will came back to his senses and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"I want to think about it...... Hmm......" Alan raised his eyes and thought for a moment, "it seems that there is no more, you have already told me everything I want to know." ”

"Then I'll go back to my room to rest, dwarfs don't really like to go out during the day. ”

Will carefully turned his back and tried to climb off the couch. After all, this sofa is not designed for them, it is a bit too tall for them.

Alan wanted to go over and help, but suddenly saw the big word on his back - "Syphus".

"Why are you still wearing this dress?" asked Allen, a little curious, "since you've changed your name, shouldn't you have changed it to Will on your back?"

"No, I can't. Will shook his head, "This dress means a lot to the Seapheths...... It was a gift we received when we established a master-servant relationship with the Stone family, and over time, it became a symbol of the status of the elder Syphus. ”

"I see, I said how does it look so old. ”

"And, I'm Will only when I'm in front of you. Will was silent for a moment, then said, "The rest of the time I'm the elder Sieverus. ”

"Why?" Alan didn't understand.

"Well, I don't think Mr. Negris Winslow, the current owner of Seafarth, would have agreed to me changing my name......" Will said a little unnaturally.

Alan nodded.

After the two of them came out of the room, Will went straight back to his small room, and Alan made all the way back to the fourth floor.

However, when Alan reached the door, he touched his pocket and remembered that today was the day of class in the Department of Time and Space, and the brothers Riel and Raven had already gone to class, and he didn't have the key in his hand.

Alan had to go downstairs again to find Will to borrow a spare key and climb back up.

These two consecutive back-and-forth can make Alan choke enough, and he lay on the bed for a while before he found the space-time magic textbook and sat down on the edge of the bed.

There was no one in the room, but perhaps Will's words were working, and his mind had been circling the beginning and end of the events of fourteen years ago, trying to find any clues by re-examining every detail. However, by the time Riel returned by noon, he had come to the same conclusion as last night, and there was no new development.

"Oh! I'm fed up!" yelled Riel as he pushed the door in, "Zach Bilber, that bastard!"

"What's wrong?" asked Allen, "Did you say something that you shouldn't have said that got him caught?"

"No, it's more than that!" Riel said angrily.

"Sit down and talk slowly. ”

"I didn't get a point yesterday, so I want to perform well today. "Ryle looked like his eyes were on fire," and every time I raised my hand to answer a question, he would stand up and find fault with me, saying something wrong here, incomplete there, etc., and then answering again with what he thought was perfect. ”

"And then?"

"And then?" Riel scratched at his hair, "and Professor Stubone gave him all the marks he should have given me, and complimented him on his 'accurate' answers......

When Alan heard this, he immediately understood that Riel must have answered too hastily, so he would leave a chance for little Bilber. However, he also didn't have a good impression of little Bilber, so he had to comfort: "It's okay, there is still a chance, he is just good at playing a little clever, and he won't be so lucky every time." ”

"I'll be sure to give him some color in the afternoon!"

Alan smiled and stopped the conversation.

"But why are you the only ones back, Ian and Ivan? You three should be together, right?" Alan looked behind Riel, and didn't see the Laven brothers push the door open.

"I just went with Ian, and he didn't seem to have breakfast, he kept shouting that he was hungry, so he went to lunch first. I was so angry that I lost my appetite. Riel shrugged, "Ivan, I don't know. When I woke up, he was no longer in the house, and he was standing far away from us during class. ”

"Far from you?" asked Allen.

"Well, Ian and I are standing very far forward, and he's always in the corner, with a few people he doesn't know. ”

"Don't know anyone?" Alan was a little strange, "but there's an empty room across from us, is it next door?"

"No, I can recognize the people next door, but I haven't seen them at all. Riel thought for a moment and said, "They seem to be quite familiar, and I think they are talking and laughing." ”

Sure enough, unlike his brother, he seems to be very sociable. Allen said.

"Who knows, anyway, they look very well-dressed, not like people on the fourth floor. ”

"Uh......" Alan didn't know what to say, so he shrugged his shoulders: "It doesn't matter what floor it is, it's good to make more friends." ”

"Whatever. Riel pouted and lay down on his bed, no longer speaking.

Alan lowered his head and continued to read. It wasn't until around half-past twelve, when Ian returned from eating at the restaurant, that the two of them felt hungry and went to the restaurant for lunch together.

"By the way, you should have finished the afternoon class long ago, right?" asked Riel on the way back.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"And how do you feel about space-time magic?" Riel said with a mysterious excitement on his face.

"What do you think?" said Ellen, confused.

"You don't feel it...... Super cool or something?" Riel asked, with a twinkle in his eyes, "Disappearing from one place and suddenly appearing in another!"

"Uh...... I don't know if to use that cool word to describe ......" Alan shrugged, "I think it's going to be pretty convenient anyway......"

"Well, well, it's super convenient! If I can learn this, then we won't have to toss all day on the road when we get home from vacation!

Alan almost laughed when he said that, and the first thing he thought of was to use it for pranks.

"Impossible, give up. Alan didn't hesitate to pour cold water on him.

"Why!?"

"You didn't study hard at first glance. Alan gave him a blank look with a smile and explained, "Space-time magic has quite a lot of limitations when it comes to use...... First of all, the place where you can use space-time magic must at least have a distinct, distinctive, and permanent iconic object, and not too large, such as a bench in the garden, or a special moving sign made by the Magic Management Association, and secondly, the distance you can move is directly proportional to the amount of mana and preparation time, and the farther you move, the longer the mana and preparation time...... Do you think you have enough magic in you to bring us from here to Beya?"

"Uh......" Riel's enthusiasm was half extinguished by Alan's words.

"Finally, and most importantly......" Alan said that he couldn't stop at all, and continued to popularize science: "Space-time magic requires the caster to have a very good memory and imagination. Because in addition to requiring the caster to constantly release magic from the body during the spell casting process, the caster is also required to imagine the location to go and the surrounding environment in as much detail as possible, otherwise if there is any mistake in the details, it may lead to the failure of the cast. ”

Rare began to sweat on his forehead when he heard this.

"But the failed spell isn't the worst of all. Alan looked at Rare and said, "The scariest thing is that you take yourself to a place where you haven't even been. ”

"What does that mean?" asked Riel, "how can I imagine a place I haven't even been to myself......

"No, there are cases like this every year. Alan said solemnly, "Even the space-time magic users who have already joined the work have lost themselves sometimes. ”

Riel looks at Alan and realizes that he is not joking with himself.

"Because the absence of a special geographical indication does not mean that you cannot use it, but it means that you cannot reach the specified location exactly. Alan said this, looking at Riel a little worriedly, "If you don't know how much magic you've unleashed, the environment you imagine at the end of the incantation is a clearing or a tree...... You get the idea, right?"

"A place I don't even know about......" Riel began to break out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and realized why Eren was worried about him - his attention was constantly difficult to concentrate, and his memory was so poor......
