It is impossible for the girl to find the evil god in the textbook

Somehow, Hyde naturally thought of the appearance of a certain doll when it freely replaced its body parts, so it seems that the person Ella mentioned who used the saint's right eye roughly is probably the shadow.

This made the boy speechless for a while, normal people wouldn't casually stuff such dangerous things into their eye sockets, would they? !Well, that guy seems to be an alchemy puppet... Hyde thinks that Shadow probably fell for this kind of recklessness.

This time he paid a high price to use the fate spell, but it will be difficult to say next time.Hyde still remembered the way that guy fought in the dream world, and he dared to say that the doll's heartless state would kill her sooner or later.

"About the whereabouts of the shadow—"

At this time, Ella took back what she was going to say.Because she suddenly felt a strange gaze, as if someone was secretly looking in this direction from the window outside the tavern.But this kind of peeping is very lame, not to mention wizards and high-ranking dirty blood, even an ordinary thief is much more professional than her.

"who?"

She turned her head and saw a small head shrinking from under the window.But within a few seconds, the latter poked out from behind the door again.It was a girl who seemed to be only seven or eight years old, with light-colored hair that was common in Norway, not very beautiful, but with a childlike innocence suitable for this age.

Ella beckoned, and lifted the opponent's body with a gentle force, carrying the girl over like a kitten.The girl let out a small exclamation, but she showed curiosity and excitement without any fear.

Hyde froze for a moment, he always felt that this face made him feel a little familiar, and he realized it after thinking for a while.

"You gave me flowers before... This is not a place for children."

"But you are also a child!"

The girl's eyes widened, and she retorted naturally.

Hyde looked at the wine box he used to prop up his hips and was speechless for a moment.He felt that there was no point in explaining such complicated things to a child, and as a glorious Belusae, he was even less likely to argue with a child of Nod.It can even be said that he lost the moment he had this idea.

Ella put the girl firmly on the ground and straightened her messed up clothes.This is the first time they have come into contact with the residents of the lower city in Nod, and perhaps they can hear some words that the nobles cannot hear from here.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Betty. I attended the welcome ceremony a few days ago. Sister, you are really awesome!"

The girl was a little incoherent with excitement,

"Sister, can you teach me magic, so that I can be a wizard?"

Betty's eyes were shining, full of hope and a girl's pure dream.Ella couldn't help recalling many past events, including a little candle lighted in Professor Yusef's hands, and the students she accepted in Dreamland...Dreamland?

——At this moment, something that had been neglected for a long time disappeared from Ella's mind like lightning.

She paused for a few seconds, then replied with an unchanged expression:

"Maybe it can, maybe it can't. This requires a small test—Hyde, I'll leave it to you."

With that said, Ella stood up and walked out of the bar.

Ling was stunned for a moment, then gave Haide a look to indicate that he would stay and take care of the little girl.

-

"what happened?"

Ling followed and came out, and she found that Ella took out three pictures out of nowhere.That was the clue about the whereabouts of the shadow she got through divination before she fell into a deep sleep.

They respectively depict a hut in the forest of silence, Enoch in the middle of the wilderness, and—a vast expanse of pure white.

After looking carefully at the third picture, Ella closed her eyes and let out a slow breath.

"I think I know where this third image is...yes, that's the only place."

Any more clues about Shadow? !

Ling was a little surprised, but she really couldn't see what such a large blank space represented.

Aila's thoughts moved, and at this moment the surrounding space was perfectly covered by several dust barriers and silence barriers.With her current power, there is no need to chant spells when using this kind of magic.That seems to be a pattern that cannot be easily revealed in reality, but now this wonderful space has become more unstable under the influence of Ella's magic power.

At this moment, some new patterns emerged from that piece of pure white, which were some kind of ruins, some kind of incomparably magnificent remains of ruins.

Ella stroked the ruins of the building on the paper with her fingers, suppressed the violent fluctuations of emotions, and spit out a word that had been gradually forgotten:

"Wendel."

"Winter City Wendel...Fantasy Land, Land of Snow?!"

Ling's face changed suddenly. She had heard Ella mention this mythical place.

"You mean, it's possible that Shadow suffered a near-death injury like you and was transferred to the Dreamland? Or...she simply died, like the residents of the Snow Kingdom you mentioned. Waking up again from a dream?"

Ella originally had a similar guess, but after hearing it from Lingkou, she overturned these two assumptions.

"No, it won't be - I was transferred to the Land of Snow because of a coordinate recorded in the old seal medal. There is no such thing in the shadow. In addition, the shadow must still be alive. I can feel it through the current left eye. A little connection with her, Hyde’s magic is very powerful, she won’t die that easily.”

"So... most of the clues pointed to by the dreamland are not shadows, but the reason for her disappearance."

Ella's expression became serious, and a cold killing intent surged in the depths of her pupils accompanied by a little gray flame.

"Sure enough, I've been stared at by something since the time I came... Very good, then I'll give it another chance."

"What do you want to do?"

"I will go back to the Dreamland in the near future, and you stay in Enoch. The clues to the Forest of Silence have been found, but Ke Nuo has no clues yet, but Betty gave us a good chance—— Think about it, the shadow is now a member of the envoy, if some dirty blood noble who cooperates with the alien creature wants to hide her, then it is not a good idea to stay in the upper city where the queen's personal guards are everywhere."

She glanced at the foggy downtown,

"Obviously . . . a much better fit there."

"This is not a problem, we will expand the search area to the lower city, but... are you really going to the dreamland? It's too dangerous, and how do you go and how do you get back?"

Ling gripped Ella's hand tightly.

"It's not a problem to come back, the teacher left enough clear coordinates along the way."

While saying this, Ayla gently closed her eyes.

"And I have a special nature... I am at least [-]% sure of returning. I think I should be pretty lucky now. The bigger problem is how to return to the Land of Snow."

In this kind of journey, it is always the first movers who need to bear the greatest risks.Howard Yusef is a pure human being. He must transform his life form to enter and exit the dreamland, and leaving almost permanent clear coordinates in a different space requires great power that is almost like a god.

Ella knew very well that it was far from possible for her to do this even now.The price Professor Yousef paid and what he did was far from being as simple as it seemed.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back."

"At that time, we will rescue the shadows together—those things hidden in the dark must also pay the price for their actions."

After listening, Ling slowly let go of his hand.

"The [-]% chance of failure...Although it is still a little hard to accept, it is true that this is no longer a gamble, and I would do it the same way."

"But - don't forget our agreement."

Ling emphasized.

"Oh, of course I do."

Ella gave her a hug, smiled and said:

"I won't die casually anymore."

Chapter 4 Inside and outside the city walls

Looking at the two people leaving in a hurry, Hyde felt that Ella looked like she suddenly found some inspiration. Although he was very concerned about it, he suppressed his curiosity and continued to sit where he was.

Hyde can fully understand the significance of the girl in front of him. Through such a child from the lower city, they can get a better perspective to reach places that are usually difficult to reach.

"Are you interested in magic?"

Hyde put on what he thought was the kindest and sunniest smile on his face.But he was astonished to find that Betty's gaze had been following the backs of the other two, until the middle was blocked by a wall before she reluctantly retracted it.

"If only the sister in the dress would teach me magic..."

The little girl named Betty puffed up her face, and lowered her head a little aggrieved.

"Hey, I can do magic too!"

Hyde felt that he had been insulted invisible,

"Do you still remember me, I am also a contestant in the martial arts ceremony, the one who appeared in the penultimate match!"

The little girl stared blankly at him for a while, and then her eyes began to light up.

"Oh, I remembered!"

The blond boy raised his eyebrows, adjusted himself to an elegant sitting posture, and calmly sipped some of the red wine in the glass.After all, he was also the last trump card of the envoy at that time, and he withstood the powerful offensive of the top dirty blood species even though his bloodline power was damaged.

He's ready for the accolades and accepting his first magic apprentice.Regardless of the other party's talent, Hyde felt that he could teach this girl one or two relatively safe and simple magic spells, and easily grasp some information about the lower city from his admirers.This is just the beginning, Betty can become his initial wedge, and use this to build a larger information network.

At this time, the girl smiled happily, and shouted very confidently:

"You are the one who loses the fastest!"

Hyde: "?"

-

"how is the situation?"

When Ella and Ling returned to the bar, Hyde was leaning against the wine box with a haggard face, looking at the ceiling and wondering what he was thinking.

"It's going well...but the child is a little too upright. Hasn't she been beaten since she grew up?"

Ling slid the glass cup along the table and said with a half-smile,

"You have no right to say such things. When you were her age, I dare say that at least two-thirds of Kraft's freshmen wanted to beat you."

The boy took the glass and raised his head in surprise,

"are you serious?"

From the expression of the other party, Hyde became more and more sure of the authenticity of this sentence. After thinking about some of his past performances, he sighed strangely:

"Well...it is indeed possible."

His eyes crossed the window of the bar and followed the jumping little figure that disappeared at the end of the road.

"You say, in what way will the land of Nod return to the material world?"

Ella didn't think too much, but replied based on her own knowledge and experience:

"The boundary between Nod and the material world is becoming blurred. It will soon break away from the space gap and float near the coordinates corresponding to the material world. The Black Sea is a large enough water body to support the arrival of Nod."
