In the empty hall, Victor sat alone on a chair, picked up the tea cup, and took a sip of steaming tea from time to time.
Vega crawled down on his shoulder, closed her eyes, and fell asleep.
Xiang Zilan stood aside quietly with a gentle smile on her face.
It was getting very late, but none of them left, as if they were waiting for something.
The crow seemed to be trying its best not to fall asleep, struggling to preen its wings unconsciously from time to time, and raising its head from time to time.
After a while, Aurelion came back alone.
The paleness on her face had not gone away. When she walked, her body swayed a little and she looked tired and weak.
Xiangzilan hurriedly stepped forward to help Aurelion come over.
It wasn't until she walked in front of Victor that Aurelion weakly said hello.
"teacher."
Seeing Aurelion's arrival, Victor put down the teacup in his hand:
"how do you feel?"
Aurelion forced a smile, pointed to her chest and said:
"It's a little uncomfortable."
She thought she wouldn't feel anything after coming here to pay homage to the mother she had never met.
But you only know it after experiencing it.
In her heart, there was still a dull feeling weighing on her heart.
But compared to seeing her mother's pain, what was more difficult for her to accept was the unknown cause of her mother's death.
Why, even though his father is so powerful, he cannot protect his mother.
Aurelion felt a little scared.
Just like what the father told her.
No one can protect her forever.
What about the teacher?
Aurelion once again thought about what happened in the underground prison.
Teacher Victor disappeared again.
Although she knew very well that the teacher was testing her and hoped that she could grow in the crisis.
But one day, she encountered a terrifying monster that she could never defeat.
At that time, no one could protect her, like her mother.
Vulnerable, helpless.
Aurelion put her hand on her chest, feeling the strong beating of her heart.
Her father will pass away, and in the future, Teacher Victor will also leave her.
Aurelion raised her head and looked at Victor with some burning eyes.
One day.
She will also become,
Nothing?
…
Finally, Aurelion went back listlessly.
It was Xiang Zilan who helped her back.
When leaving, Xiang Zilan helped her sit on the bed and bowed to her.
"Your Highness, I'm nearby."
"If you need anything, please call me."
After saying that, she pushed open the door, leaving Aurelion with a spacious space for herself.
When Vanilla left, Aurelion raised her head and lay back.
She just looked at the ceiling and looked at everything around her.
Finally, Aurelion knew.
This was once her mother's cozy room.
No wonder, even though she had come to such a strange place, she only felt warm and at ease with this room.
Turning her head, she saw the old doll that had been mended over the years.
So Aurelion reached out and took it.
Suddenly, a biting cold wind blew open the curtains.
The pale pink curtains floated across Aurelion's face, and the cold wind passed through the cracks in the window and gently brushed her long eyelashes.
Aurelion raised her head and sat up suddenly.
But at this moment, behind him, he felt an invisible and deep hug.
The surrounding scenery seemed to move slowly before Aurelion's eyes, and time seemed to be stretched, like a river gradually freezing in winter.
The raised curtains did not fall in her eyes, but instead rolled in mid-air at a slow speed.
The curtains that originally fluttered out did not sound, and silence enveloped her whole body.
It seemed that even the heartbeat in my heart slowed down slightly because of this.
When she regained consciousness, everything in the room returned to normal.
The sound of the wind dissipated and the curtains fell gently.
It's like nothing happened.
The moment he lowered his head, the doll in his hand disappeared.
Instead, there was a string of crystal necklaces.
The end of the necklace is set with a sapphire that looks like the deep sea. Following the light, it seems like there are ripples of sea water flowing in it.
She tried to raise her right hand to touch the gem that suddenly appeared.
But suddenly, he saw that the scar on his right wrist had disappeared inexplicably.
The fair and smooth skin of the past was restored.
The pain was also eliminated.
She didn't understand, so she just gently stretched out her hand to touch the gem.
The back of the necklace is engraved with fine writing.
Aurelion identified it carefully and couldn't help but read it:
'my child--'
'You will shine like a jewel. '
Suddenly, the wind rushed out of the room.
The windows were closed again,
Aurelion felt a sudden trance in her heart, and a sense of loss swept through her body.
"Eh?"
Unconsciously, a crystal tear slipped from the corner of her eye.
Tick-tock——
Clear tears fell on the sapphire of the necklace, sparkling with crystal light.
The surroundings were extremely silent, and Aurelion sat blankly on the edge of the bed alone, letting the tears remain on her cheeks.
…
Victor was the only one left in the empty living room.
He stood up again and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window.
It's obviously not the season yet, but snowflakes are gradually falling outside.
Perhaps remembering Aurelion's burning eyes before leaving, he asked Vega.
"Vega."
"Before, did you want to help Aurelion?"
When Victor said this, Vega lost all sleep. He stretched his neck and looked at Victor:
"You have this intention, what's wrong?"
"How did she respond to you?"
After hearing Victor's words, Vega suddenly became energetic, flapped his dark wings, and opened his beak wide.
"Oh my God, you're talking about this?"
"You know, she rejected me."
…
That was still deep in the Guanta Prison, in the land of stars.
Aurelion half-crouched on the golden sand, watching piles of bones rise up and then slowly fall down.
At this moment, the green magical light has weakened and cannot be sustained for a long time, and is about to dissipate.
At that time, Aureliano's heart was filled with endless confusion and helplessness.
Her inability to control the magic dragon means that she cannot pass the test set by Teacher Victor, and it is more likely to hinder Pulisis who is facing the enemy's attack.
The internal struggle pushed her to an unprecedented level of anxiety.
At this moment, a hoarse voice echoed in her heart.
She felt that there was a deep, mysterious one eye staring at her from the depths of her heart.
Accompanied by seductive ghostly voices, they sounded from all directions:
'Do you need my help? '
'I can give you a lot of magic at no cost to you. '
Aurelion heard the voice of temptation, and a flash of realization flashed through her heart.
"magic……"
Just like the weird voice in my heart said.
There is only one reason why this fifth-level demonic dragon cannot be resurrected.
Not enough magic.
Although being a necromancer does not rely too much on magic power reserves, it is based on summoning the undead in the realm of the dead.
And Aurelion doesn't even have a realm of the dead.
All she can do is summon the undead that exist in the real world
This requires huge magic power to support.
While Aurelion was still hesitating, the voice in her heart sounded again:
'Trust me, it doesn't cost you anything. '
Hearing this, Aurelion's eyes were a little confused.
"strength……"
Sure enough, she was still too weak.
The deep one eye in her heart stared at her deeply.
Its dark abyss-like tentacles continue to stretch.
It seemed that as long as she accepted the temptation, she would be firmly grasped by the tentacles and pulled bit by bit into the depths of the abyss.
but……
"I reject."
Boom--boom--boom--
The voice deep in his heart stopped suddenly, accompanied by dull heart sounds one after another.
Vast magic energy surged instantly in Aurelion's body.
Like a giant beast waking up from the bottom of the sea, it lifted up countless seawater and fell into it again.
Although Aurelion is only at the second level, her magic power reserve may be comparable to that of a third-level mage.
However, even if she is a third-level mage, she still cannot resurrect a demon dragon due to insufficient magic power.
So Aurelion took out the magic potion in her clothes.
As the magic power dissipated, it was poured into the mouth crazily.
Soon, only countless transparent glass bottles were left on the ground.
The dragon's corpse showed some weak reactions, but the magic power was still like a fragile candle, swaying uncertainly.
The magic power is still not enough.
But she clearly didn't want to fall short.
So, Aurelion gritted her teeth and suddenly pulled out the long sword from her waist.
The long sword landed on the wrist of his right hand.
Cold sweat gradually broke out in his palms, and they began to tremble involuntarily.
The long sword seemed to be frozen, unable to move forward.
And the illusory voice in her heart seemed to be anxiously trying to dissuade her:
'Just promise me, why bother? '
"I told you, I don't need it."
The voice's dissuasion not only did not shake Aurelion's determination, but instead strengthened her resolve.
"The teacher told me that I have the most powerful talent in the world."
She took a deep breath:
"I want to believe him."
[First-order magic - autosuggestion]
At this moment, a light flashed in Aurelion's eyes.
She gritted her teeth, and the long sword in her hand flashed across her wrist like lightning.
Poof——
The blood was as hot as boiling water, gushing out.
The pain caused by the sharp blade made Aurelion fall to the ground unable to hold back the pain.
She could no longer hold the blade tightly in her hands and could only throw it aside.
Although she made a firm suggestion of self-injury to herself, she could not completely hide the stinging pain.
But it doesn't matter, just give the hint and forget about it all.
Blood continues to drain from the wound, and the feeling in the wrist gradually becomes numb.
But Aurelion was pleasantly surprised by the magic power flowing back into her body.
She took out the blood-red potion hidden in her arms.
And this was also given to her by Teacher Victor.
Its effect is the same as that of the magical magic potion.
The wound on her right hand quickly disappeared, and her blood volume was replenished.
But the required magic power is still not enough.
She kept drinking the scarlet potion, feeling life pouring into her body again.
Slit the blood from her wrists and exchange the blood for her magic power.
The cycle goes back and forth.
…
"In the end, as you can see, the demon dragon was successfully enslaved by her."
Vega said with a little emotion in his eyes, as if he missed what happened on the bottom floor of the Guanta Prison.
The second-level body enslaves the fifth-level undead dragon.
I'm afraid no one would believe this kind of thing unless they saw it with their own eyes.
It seems that the bloodline of the Sol family is becoming more and more perverted.
Weijia was silent for a while, and then spoke again as if to express something:
"She didn't even blink when she cut herself. I really can't think of anything that could make her cry."
"yes."
Victor looked out the window with emotion.
The falling snowflakes seemed to be constantly changing.
"Ma'am, do you hear that?"
"Your child is far stronger and more dazzling than you think."
"So don't worry-"
The snowflakes drifted and gradually turned into the figure of a woman.
With a smile that could not be seen clearly on her face, and with the last bit of relief, she bowed lightly to Victor and Vega.
Until the snowflakes caught the wind and blew away her figure.
It also took away the last bit of life she had left in the world.
"She won't cry anymore."
