She didn't intend to sneak into the top floor of that old castle in a way like a thief, avoiding other people's sight.

For Ella, this return after a long time is of great significance. The town of Glamis in eastern Scotland is equivalent to her hometown.

Now that Albert Kleist had predicted that she would return, Ella didn't plan to hide anything.

She wants to hold her head up high, and return to the home that once belonged to her in a posture and method that is most suitable for Kraft's students and executors.

Yes, that's right-

Nothing has changed, time seems to go back to that summer more than two years ago, and all this is just a long dream.

She successfully completed the first execution mission in her executor career without any accidents.At this time, I was about to return to Scotland from the distant Malay Peninsula, walked through the grasslands and small towns, and walked towards the old castle along the stone road full of white roses on both sides.

What awaited her should be flowers and applause, Teacher Yousef's gratified eyes and all the honors she deserved——

That's how things should have been if those things hadn't happened.

The silver-haired girl seemed to wake up suddenly, and she realized that after all, it was a scene that only existed in dreams, and even if she had mastered great power, it was impossible to turn all the dreams into reality.

Some things have changed, but some things will never change.

Ella's palm hovered over the magic circle in the No.30 special room of the Champs Elysees, and began to tremble slightly.

She didn't take the next step for a long time, as if she had forgotten what she was supposed to do.

At this time, another hand with a slightly darker complexion but firm and delicate rested on the back of the girl's hand.

The last trace of hesitation suddenly dissipated under this touch and weight, and Ella smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Well... I still feel a little scared, so let's come together in the end."

As she spoke, several bright sparks floated under her palm, and the altar symbols under the feet of the two girls were lit up one by one.

Ella doesn't need to consume expensive magic crystals at all, just relying on her is enough to build a stable channel.

The dark blue light shone, the magic symbols on the ground began to spin, and the pool in the altar swirled into a deep vortex.

The gradually fading figures of the two were sucked into the vortex of light and water, and then disappeared.

Paisley, Renfrewshire

There is a little-known special station on the station in this town, and it is not the ordinary employees and security personnel of the town station that maintains its operation, but Grant Arnold, who is the person in charge of the executor's contact point.

It was a relatively busy time of year for him.

Every November is Kraft's school season, and many staff of this magic school and newly recruited magician apprentices will concentrate on commuting between Renfrew and Angus during these two months.

Grant couldn't remember how many times he complained about this awkward start time. The freshmen who just entered the school will usher in their Christmas holidays in less than a month.

Unlike those old students who are used to indulging in magic research or love, most of them who are young will choose to go home during the holidays.

This will undoubtedly usher in a new round of busyness for Grant Arnold, who thinks he is seriously underrested.

But after the first week of the new year, this busyness will gradually subside, and mysterious events rarely occur in the area near the executor's headquarters.He can also begin to enjoy a life of leisure.

But today, Grant rarely waited for two young girls at the special platform.Judging from their age, they are at most just adults, and they should still be students in that school.

This made the young head of the contact point click his tongue.

Because it will be February in just a few days, and more than half a month has passed since the start of school.Although Kraft's discipline is not strict, it is too much to be late for so long.

One of the girls was tall and handsome, with obvious oriental features.

The other girl is petite, so she may look younger than her actual age. She has long, smooth silver hair and a delicate face like a doll.

The arrival of this pair of passengers is quite eye-catching, but for some reason, Grant always feels that he has seen the latter somewhere.

Just as she was thinking about it, the girl with long silver hair spoke politely, her voice clear and sweet.

"Hello sir, we need two tickets to the town of Glamis."

While Grant accepted the five-shilling note and put it in the leather case he carried, he opened the dark green-painted car door for the two of them.

After confirming the school badge presented by the other party, he didn't think much and just asked casually:

"Why did you come back to Glamis so late? Is it because I spent too much time on vacation? You should pay attention to coming back earlier next time."

But these unintentional words, which would even be annoying as a lesson in normal times, obviously stunned the petite silver-haired girl.

After several seconds, the latter stepped onto the steps of the steam train and sighed in an inexplicably empathetic tone.

"Yeah...I've been away for too long."

She turned her head and smiled gently at Grant, her slightly narrowed pink eyes were unforgettable.

"I will."

"Thank you for your blessing, sir."

As she spoke, she boarded the train, and the steam train gradually moved away along the rails amidst the roar of the siren.

And some broken memories and rumors gradually took shape in Grant Arnold's consciousness, and the striking features of the girl gradually matched the rumors.

The man's pupils dilated slowly, his face was dull towards the direction of the train, and his voice became stammered.

"OMG...that's, that's Ella Williams?!"

Chapter 28 Hometown

Although I had imagined the scene when I returned to Glamis countless times in my mind, Ella, who left the train door and stood on this land, was completely stunned.

Looking at the noisy scene in front of her, she even forgot to breathe for a moment.

Little has changed here from a few years ago.

It is still uneven, with no more than three floors of small buildings.They were crowded together but not disorderly. From here, you can see the towering conical tower of Glamis Castle from a distance.

Among the blue-gray buildings, wizard-style decorations can be seen everywhere.

The copper-green signboards are full of eccentric characters and distorted graphic imprints that have a suggestive effect of attracting customers, exorcising evil spirits or praying for good luck, simply providing lighting or even just as decoration.

In the middle of the black cobbled street was the circular fountain, where a bronze bust of a sullen middle-aged man still stood.He is Mr. Kraft, the original headmaster and founder of this magic school and wizard town.

Girls in Scottish-style black and red dresses and boys in dark green suits walked through the shops and alleys in twos and threes.Some of them look very young, and they should be freshmen who are full of curiosity and longing for everything in the mysterious world not long after entering school.

Ella couldn't help but recall the first time she left Smith Street in London's Whitechapel district, left the factory and took Kraft's exclusive steam train to this town.

After returning to the old place many years later, only the emotion at that time can be compared with the present.

A sense of strangeness caused by being separated for too long and a sense of intimacy from the soul are entangled with each other and mixed into something indescribable.

Ella suddenly felt some kind of warm and moist liquid slid over her cheeks. She touched it with her hands in surprise, and a drop of crystal water swayed slightly on her fingertips.

She rubbed her eyes in surprise, but there were still more drops of warm water rolling down from there.

"I'm really back."

Occasionally, some young wizard apprentices stayed on both sides of the street, looked at this strange woman, who was sad or happy, and chatted with their companions.

Ella didn't pay attention to the people who were just watching out of curiosity, or nervous about recognizing her.

She felt as if something had always existed in her heart. The cold shackles melted at this moment, and the emotions and memories that she had forcibly blocked from recalling came to life together.

"Ling, let's go to that place first... No, I have to buy a bouquet of flowers for George and the others..."

"Ah, ah, and a gift for the landlord, Mr. Turner, I, I haven't paid him rent for a long time, I don't know if that wooden house is still there... and the teacher, woo, Yusuf Teacher...I did it, I'm finally back!"

Countless memories and emotions came flooding back, making Ella slurred.

At this moment, the human part of the girl's consciousness repressed the cold divinity, her nose began to sore, and she even became sobbing.

Now Ella Williams is no longer a legendary wizard standing at the top of the material world, nor is she a son of evil god with a strange life experience.

She forgot the great power she possessed now, enough to overthrow the country and destroy the city.He also forgot the almost omnipotent magic that he has mastered.

She was like an ordinary 16-year-old girl, she could only stand there helplessly.

Ling pulled the helpless girl and held her tightly in her arms.Ling didn't stop Ella, but just stroked her soft long hair naturally.

In fact, the short-haired girl's eye sockets were also slightly red. She first took a deep breath, and then comforted her in the most gentle tone:

"Yes, you did."

"Ella, I have worked hard for you all this time..."

-

On the bench used for pedestrians to rest on the street, Ella took a long time to calm down and looked at the ground with her flushed face.

What a shame!

Now she can't wait to open a portal and slip away, go wherever she wants, anyway, the farther she runs, the better.

Although Ling enjoyed admiring Aila's shy expression, after she noticed the restless magic on Aila's fingertips, she instinctively understood that this enjoyment must end here.

Ling took out a clean handkerchief and wiped the other party's still wet face.

"Your makeup is crying, let me wipe it off for you."

But to Ling's surprise, the girl suddenly turned her face away after hearing this sentence, like a kitten with its hair blown.

"You despise me!"

she's so cute-

This idea exploded like fireworks in Ling Mephisto's mind, but in the next second, the beast-like instinct and desire to survive washed away the colorful fireworks and regained the upper hand in his consciousness.

The short-haired girl coughed lightly, then continued to move closer to her.

"How come, you are the most beautiful at any time."

"fraud!"

The other party's reaction made the corners of Ling's mouth uncontrollably tilt upwards, about to form an exaggerated smile, but reason told her that she must not laugh at this time.

Ling mobilized his extraordinary eyesight, and quickly searched for clues from the visible area that could resolve the embarrassing situation.

Soon, her eyes lit up, and she quickly changed the topic just now.

"Ella, do you still remember Fanny Tea House, because almost all the people who went there were couples, so we were always embarrassed to enter that kind of place. It has been more than two years, right? It's a bit shameful, but to be honest... ...At that time, I was thinking about how to trick you into it."

She was keenly aware that the topic made Ella's ears twitch.
