"It?" Cynthia paused again, staring at the book in her hand.

The cover of this magic book, which was emitting a strange light, had only one eye on it, and it looked a little scary.

Alan also stared at it for a while, and found that it didn't seem to be a human eye, and he couldn't help but feel a little creepy. And staring at it for a while, a strange feeling would come over him, and he couldn't help but want to open it and take a look.

Realizing that there might be something strange about the book, Alan immediately looked away.

Cynthia also noticed that something seemed wrong with it, shook her head, and stopped looking at it.

However, Heplus's expression was even more subtle.

"Why do you say that?" Cynthia asked again, noticing that Heplus's expression was a little strange.

"Because I can see the great magic on it...... And this color......" Hepples stared at it, "this color I've seen...... There's something unclean up there. ”

"Unclean things?" Alan was taken aback, and it seemed that old Adrian was right.

"Where did you pick it up?" asked Alan.

Cynthia pointed to the bottom of the immortal tree, "Right there, clinging to the roots." ”

Alan glanced over and couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't that where you were standing just now?"

Cynthia nodded, "But I didn't see it just now." ”

"It's just a little further off your feet......" Alan was a little strange. But he looked at Cynthia's serious eyes and didn't say anything more, but nodded and chose to believe her.

"Thank you......" Cynthia whispered, understanding.

"It's unusual...... It makes me feel familiar......" Heplus said with a furrowed brow, still staring at the book, "but I can't remember where I've seen it...... Maybe it was a long time ago......"

"Take a good look. Cynthia said as she handed the book over.

"No, no, no!" Heplus refused, and jerked back, as if hiding from something terrible.

"What's wrong?" Cynthia wondered.

"We can't touch this kind of thing...... This color is deadly. Heplus took a deep breath, then looked at Cynthia, then at Allen, and said with a solemn face, "It will make us lose ourselves." ”

Alan and Cynthia looked at each other, not knowing what that meant.

"Please put it aside for now......" Heplus said, gesturing to the side.

Cynthia nodded and complied.

Then turn it on. Seeing that the book was far enough away from him, Hepples took a few steps closer and pointed to the parchment in her hand and said, "Put your dominant hand on the blank space on it." ”

"Hmm. Cynthia answered, and slowly unfolded the parchment, which shone with the same light as Heplus's.

Alan also leaned over and found that there were a few lines written on it, and the content was exactly the same as what Cynthia had just read.

"Alright...... Now, let me see who you really are. Hepples said as he stared at Cynthia.

Originally, she was hesitant to do what he said, but as soon as she heard this, Cynthia's heart tightened, and she immediately stretched out her right hand and carefully placed it in the corner of the lower right corner of the parchment.

But strangely, it doesn't feel like paper at all, but gently ripples like a ripple of water.

Cynthia only felt that the magic power in her body was sucked away in an instant, but fortunately it was not much, just about the same amount as when the magic power was identified.

"That's it. Heprus nodded at her and motioned for her to take her hand away.

I saw that a faint handwriting began to appear little by little where her palm touched it just now, as if it was her name.

"Xin...... Cynthia......" Alan whispered as he watched patiently, but when he read it to the end, he was stunned: "Leiz...... Ledsbel ...... Cynthia Lezbel?"

Cynthia herself was completely speechless in astonishment.

"Oh! it's a child of the Ledsbels, no wonder they have the ability to call me out!" Heppleus also looked quite surprised, and glanced at Cynthia carefully, "Is it a chance, a coincidence, or ...... Or is it something else?"

"Ledsbell......" Alan muttered, "this last name ......"

"That's right, that is, she's a descendant of Sherlyn Lezber. Heples said.

"But...... Excuse me, is there something wrong?" asked Allen, "her surname is Winslow." ”

"Elves never recognize the wrong person. Heprus shook his head and said, "Whatever her last name is, the magic she inherited from her ancestors doesn't lie. Her real name has been seared into her soul from the moment her parents gave it to her. ”

"Okay......" Alan said, scratching his head.

"And what are your abilities?" Cynthia asked suddenly, apparently more interested in this.

"Oh, don't you first ask about your past, or, about your ancestor, Sherin Lezbel?" Hepples was a little surprised.

"I'm not interested in those. Cynthia said coldly, "Knowing that doesn't help me in the future." ”

"Hmm...... It seems like you have some not-so-good memories. Heplus stared at her carefully and pondered for a long time before he said, "In that case, then...... I have no comment. ”

"Why?" Cynthia was shocked, she didn't expect to be rejected so simply, and she was a little angry.

"Even if your identity is so special, I still can't give you the power right now. Heplus stared at Cynthia, then glanced at the magic book lying on the ground, "Although I know Sherin and what a great magician she is, I can't guarantee that her descendants will be as selfless and brave as her...... Especially you, who can still pick up such an ominous thing. ”

Perhaps it was Heppleus's words that angered Cynthia a little, and she looked a little unhappy: "But this contract clearly states that you will obey my call and obey my orders at all times. ”

"Don't make a mistake!" Heppleus suddenly raised his voice several times over, and his eyes widened, "There is no order between us, only that I respond to your request!"

Cynthia was a little stunned, and stared at Heples carefully for a long time without speaking.

"This pact is only valid if the host fulfills its oath...... So, go and live up to your vows. Heplus regained his expression, turned around, and said slowly as he walked towards the Immortal Tree, "I will only show up when you really need me. ”

Heplus walked farther and farther away, and the light on his body became dimmer and dimmer, until finally it slowly disappeared into the night like a puff of smoke.

After Heplus disappeared for a while, the two of them also walked up to the immortal tree, only to find that the immortal tree, which had just glowed and cracked from the middle, now looked the same as before, standing quietly in the square.

This square, this night sky, this quiet atmosphere, everything is the same as before.

It's like experiencing a hallucination.

But the still glowing contract in Cynthia's hand clearly stated that all this was true.

Cynthia held the paper tightly and tried to look at its contents again, but found that it looked more and more blurry, and finally melted into the palm of her hand like a puddle of water, and then slowly gathered at her wrist, and then her wrist began to faintly tingle.

She couldn't help but rub her wrist, but found that she couldn't touch anything, and after a few seconds, when the pain was gone, she took it away and found that there was nothing but a faintly colored, canopy-like pattern on her wrist.

"What is this?" asked Allen curiously.

"I don't know......," Cynthia shook her head, looking unconcerned, "probably a signal to communicate with him." ”

It was clear that she didn't like Heplus very much.

"I care more about that book than that. She walked back, "There might be something else written on it...... Strange stuff. ”

"Uh...... It may be ......" Alan was a little reluctant for her to touch the book again, because now it was not only old Adrian's warning, but also another person who said it was ominous, and it was an elf.

Strangely, when they looked back, they found that there was nothing on the ground that was glowing.

"It's strange, I put it here. Cynthia looked puzzled and searched for a long time where they were standing just now, and said.

Alan also felt nervous and began to help find it.

But they went around the whole square, and found no trace of it.

"Strange...... Where did you go?" Cynthia looked a little restless and looked around, "Could it be that there are other people here, who stole it while we were unprepared!?"

"But...... Instead, I think this might be a good thing......" Remembering that he had encountered such a situation before that suddenly appeared and then disappeared suddenly, Alan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why?" Cynthia wondered.

"Because someone has said something similar to me before...... Say it's a bad omen. Allen said.

"Heh......" Cynthia smiled contemptuously, "most people like to be alarmist. ”

"Uh...... But ......" Alan wanted to say something, but Cynthia had already turned her head to the side, and he had to give up.

But after a careful search in the square, there was still no trace of the book.

Since it was late, under Alan's constant persuasion, she had to agree to go back to her room first.

"Damn, who is it!" Cynthia was a little angry, sulking all the way back, "You dare to steal my things, if I catch him, I will make him pay!"

Alan didn't know what to say, so he smiled and didn't speak.

The two of them slowly walked through the Four Seasons Garden, saying nothing.

It wasn't until he sent her downstairs that he opened his mouth in order to let her forget about it as soon as possible, and deliberately diverted the topic: "They'll be back early tomorrow morning...... It's envious to be able to play there for two days without any scruples. ”

However, Cynthia was satisfied, stared at her and said, "What is there to envy...... It was already the best night I've ever had. ”

"Hmm...... Seems like me too. Somewhat uncomfortable to see by Cynthia's bright eyes, Allen blushed and nodded with a smile.

"And, instead of letting me go with a bunch of strangers to a place I know all the better, I think staying here and watching the stars is more enjoyable for me. Cynthia walked briskly to the front of the building, then turned her head to stare at Allen, and smiled, "And it doesn't matter where you go or what you do...... It's who it's with, isn't it?"
