Ella lifted the black cloth, and a small thing that looked like a bat but with compound eyes of spiders was hanging upside down on the iron branch across the cage.
"This is... the teacher's messenger?"
Ella opened the birdcage, and the bat messenger turned over and flew out, biting a not-so-deep gash on the girl's finger.Its saliva seemed to contain some kind of anesthetic substance, so Ella didn't feel any pain.The blood flowed down the finger, and finally spread around the front of the index finger, like a distorted red ring.
The blood was glowing and fading away, leaving only a pale pink circle that looked like some kind of tattoo.This process was probably some kind of magic contract, from which Ayla felt the subtle magical breath, and when he looked at the bat messenger again, he had already noticed that there was a vague connection between it and himself.
Several pairs of its eyes flash with a specific frequency of light. This property seems to be somewhat similar to that of the Cold Spider, but it is not exactly the same.
Shimmer didn't pass the information to Ella, but stagnated in the air, forming a somewhat vague figure that made her feel extremely familiar.
Ella's body began to tremble uncontrollably,
"Teacher...is that you?"
Yusef's gaze was very gentle, but it passed through Ella and did not stay on her.This made the girl understand that the teacher in front of her was nothing but a recorded magical image after all.
A group of not-so-bright flames condensed on Yousef's palm, like a lantern in the night.
Ella had seen this magic before, and it was the first magic that led her into the wizarding world in the factory six years ago.Not powerful or esoteric, just a fairy-tale party trick with the twists and turns of a country wizard.
The flames rose rapidly, bursting into a ball of gorgeous fireworks in an unreal starry sky.
The smile on Yousef's face grew wider, an expression that the gloomy executive rarely made.
He said:
"Ella, congratulations on your coming of age."
The images then dissipated, leaving nothing behind.
After a few seconds of silence, Ella opened her mouth and replied in a hoarse voice to the empty room:
"Thank you."

The bat messenger tilted its head, and with its intelligence, it couldn't understand anything too complicated.
Ella took a few minutes to gather her emotions, looking at the little creature perched on the back of her hand and trying to communicate with it.
"Okay...can you understand what I'm saying?"

After some attempts, Ayla found that the messenger can basically understand human language, and it can even understand maps to a certain extent.
In addition to going back and forth according to breath or fixed coordinates, it can also send things that need to be sent to the designated address like an ordinary courier.
Ella originally expected it to go outside to see what other people were doing, but the messenger couldn't do such a complicated job.
After catching a few candies in the air, the authorized courier flapped its wings and flew into the air, where it gradually became transparent until it disappeared.

Shadow pushed Hyde's wheelchair down the Champs-Elysées.
"There's no need to drag me along..."
Hyde complained softly, because of the residue of the negative effects of "Mistertin", he can hardly see things three meters away, and his left foot has also lost feeling and it is difficult to move.According to Hyde's own estimate, it will take at least another three days for him to completely eliminate this curse-like force.
And the shadow didn't seem to notice his muttering at all, or just pretended not to hear it.Based on Hyde's understanding of the doll's performance and bad taste, the possibility of the latter is more than [-]%.
Hyde carried some necessary change and a few checks from Leon Credit Bank, a commercial bank similar in nature to a joint-stock company, and the Belusay family was also one of the benefactors behind Leon.
He didn't care how much the shadow would cost, as long as the other party didn't plan to vacate the street, it wouldn't be a big deal with the financial resources of a pure-blood wizard family.
Shadow wandered around three or four luxury stores aimlessly, but in the end he only picked out a pair of long black lace gloves for himself.As a doll that doesn't need metabolism, she doesn't actually have many clothes, and there are only a few styles in her closet that she likes and maid outfits for work.
It is worth mentioning that Shadow has a lot of gloves of various styles in her drawer. Although Professor Roger believes that the ball joints are the soul and romance of the doll, Shadow himself does not think so.
"Nothing interesting... let's find a place to eat something."
Before Hyde could say anything, the puppet pushed the wheelchair into a restaurant. Although she spoke in a negotiating tone, she actually didn't intend to listen to Hyde's opinion.
The restaurant along the street has an elegant environment. Shadow sat on the wicker chair by the window, propped his chin up with his left hand, and scanned the passing pedestrians.
In many cases, even Hyde, who is good at spiritual magic, has a hard time judging what this humanoid puppet is looking at or thinking about.
After drinking a glass of sweet wine, Shadow suddenly asked:
"What do you think a girl would like to receive at her bar mitzvah?"
Hyde gave her a strange look, and noticed that the other party hadn't used the face that looked like Ella for a long time. The doll in front of her still used the head of the maid "Alyssa", and her long black hair was tied into a knot. Simple ponytail, emerald eyes, black eye shadow and lip gloss of the same color.
Although she looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, it is impossible to judge Shadow's real age, because she will occasionally talk about things hundreds of years ago naturally.
"Mitzvah...you?"
Hyde failed to suppress his instinct, and subconsciously spit out a provocative complaint.
Shadow sneered and laughed,
"How is it possible? According to your standards, your grandmother was not even born when I was an adult."
Although it looked blurry, Hyde felt that the other party's eyes were full of sympathy.
"It seems that you don't know at all... Today is Ella's birthday, so it should be a coming-of-age ceremony."
"what?"
Hyde yelled, noticing the strange gazes of other people in the restaurant, he quickly lowered his voice a bit.
"Why didn't you say... no, you were just choosing a gift for her today?"
"Nothing is so cheap, young man, it's just incidental."
After taking over the waiter's menu, Shadow just glanced at it briefly, then swiped his index finger to cover the whole page of dishes, and returned the thin book to the waiter casually.
This powerful body movement is very easy to understand, and even if there are language differences, there is no need to explain at all.
After ordering, Shadow sighed and stared at him again with that sympathetic gaze that made Hyde go numb.
"Don't even know that kind of thing... What weird things have you wasted your time all these years?"
As she spoke, she showed that iconic sarcastic smile again.
"It's not your fault either, the best chance for such a thing was during Kraft's years, when you were just an obnoxiously stupid boy--shame, my esteemed Mr Hyde Belusay , you actually lost to the tomboy of the Mephisto family in the matter of charm."
Hyde was momentarily at a loss for words, and his face turned red and white.
To be honest, if it weren't for the negative effect of the ring, his provocative skills might not be as good as Shadow's. She is too talented in this kind of thing.No, this may not be called talent, it is mostly the accumulation of long years of experience.
But despite this, Hyde still racked his brains and choked back:
"What are you proud of? I guess you probably read the memory or something when you were hiding on her."
Hyde could tolerate his loss to Mephisto, but not to the shadow who had played Ayla's enemy.
"Tsk."
Shadow's eyebrows trembled invisibly,
"You hate it on pointless competitiveness, Mr. Hyde. Yes, you won! I did stay inside her like a voyeur for years, and Ella didn't take her own initiative. Birthday told me."
"But so what? It's not that I like her—"
Hyde suddenly felt struck by lightning, he said in a panic:
"What a mess, when did I say I liked her?"
"Is that so?"
Shadow covered his mouth in surprise, but his eyes were full of joyful smiles.
"—But I didn't say it was you."
He was speechless, if it wasn't for the inconvenience of his legs and feet, Hyde was so embarrassed that he even wanted to escape from this place.
The calmness and self-cultivation cultivated over the years finally took the upper hand. He raised his eyebrows without changing his expression, and picked up the knife and fork to deal with the food brought by the waiter.
Strangely, after calming down, he found that he was much calmer than he had imagined.
For a while, he didn't recognize what part the meat in front of him came from. The taste seemed a little weird, and it was mostly offal.
Hyde doesn't like animal offal very much, so he used this to change the subject and asked casually:
"what is this?"
Shadow looked down at the beige piece of food mixed with cheese, and it took him a while to match it with the noun on the menu.
"Sheep Brain Baked with Parmesan Cheese."
"..."
After a harsh noise, Hyde's knife cut into the dinner plate.
Chapter 91 birthday gift
Hyde put down the knife and fork in silence, and pressed the beating forehead.
The scene seemed to be a little awkward. He felt that no matter what he said next, he would be ridiculed by the shadow, so he turned his head out of the French window of the restaurant without saying a word, trying to think of a way to break out of this embarrassing situation .
Under the influence of negative effects, the things in front of Hyde's eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of fog or separated by turbid water.
But even so, he managed to narrow his eyes and make out a figure on the street.
"That seems to be..."
The other party was the same as they were before, walking back and forth between several shops without thinking, occasionally looking through the glass of the window to look at the products displayed on the container, and then shaking his head and switching to another shop.
The tall girl keenly noticed the sight from the other side of the street, turned her head with some doubts, and then found Shadow and Hyde sitting by the window of the restaurant.
After seeing Hyde waving, she strode in and sat on the seat next to Shadow without hesitation.
"How come you are here?"
Hyde let out a long sigh of relief, while Shadow smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.
Ling's sudden appearance undoubtedly broke Hyde's embarrassing situation, and it was also the first time that he felt genuine gratitude for this guy whom he disliked in every sense.
