Chapter 174 The unexpected heartbeat

"I can't see... the end."

Vifiya stopped. The small window in the corridor was not closed, and the sea breeze blew in with a whistling sound, as if the sound she just heard was an auditory hallucination.

The orange-red sunset lies on the horizon, reflected in the dark pupils.

Four days had passed since she had questioned Madam Maggie.

Maggie did not punish them for leaving the tower, and she did not tell Nerys and the others the truth she heard from Maggie.

Today she skipped prayers and didn't want to eat dinner.

She hadn't eaten with the green-haired boy for several days, nor had any interaction with him.

She held a notebook and a quill in her hand and skillfully opened the dormitory door.

There was a person with his back to the door in the dormitory that should have been empty. Vifiya paused and became alert.

She pretended not to see it and slowly closed the door.

"I'm here to see you." A clear female voice came from a person in a long robe. She stood beside Vifiya's bed and turned around.

Even though she noticed Vifiya's vigilance, she did not hesitate at all.

The woman in the robe took off her hood, letting her long, wavy wine-red hair fall down, and her eyes looked at her gently.

Although Vifiya did not close the door again, she remained outside and did not move forward.

Adults outside the tower cannot enter the Samsong Tower, so how did she get in quietly?

Also, her purpose was obvious: to find her.

"Do you know me?" Vifiya asked.

"No." The woman denied.

She snapped her fingers and said to Vifiya, "I've cast a soundproofing spell over the entire dormitory. Do you want to come in and talk?"

Magic, Vifia caught her word, magician?

What does the magician want from her?

The only thing about her that could possibly be related to magic was the strange power that Nerys had mentioned before.

No matter what the woman's purpose was in looking for her, the safest thing to do was to approach her and have a conversation with her. Given her situation, she didn't know how to use her power.

There was a huge power disparity between her and the woman, and the most likely scenario was that she turned around and ran and was caught by the woman.

After thinking it over, she walked into the dormitory and closed the door.

She only took a few steps forward and did not approach the woman.

"Can you tell me your name?" the woman took the initiative to speak.

Vifiya asked back, "Shouldn't you tell me your name first?"

The woman smiled and said, "No, I'd rather know your name first."

Now she was being restrained by the woman, but she did not feel any ill will from the woman. Fortunately, when she first came to Samson Tower, she did not use her real name.

"Fine."

"Xiao Hui?" The woman leaned sideways and raised her hand to touch her chin. "What a strange name."

She turned her head and met Vifiya's eyes, with a faint smile on her lips: "I am Debbie Foorella, a magician."

Vifiya's expression didn't change, and she took a step back as the woman walked towards her.

Debbie didn't stop because of her retreat.

Vifiya controlled her legs and stopped moving.

The woman bent down curiously and looked her up and down thoughtfully. "Not only is the name strange, but the appearance is also strange."

"Didn't anyone say you were being presumptuous?" Vifiya said deliberately.

Debbie straightened her back and thought for a moment. "Someone should have said that, but I didn't hear it. You're the first one."

She shrugged nonchalantly: "This is normal, that's just who I am."

After she finished speaking, she took a few steps back, a pair of bronze-gold eyes staring at her.

Vifiya didn't know what she saw.

Debbie asked directly, "Is it you who possesses the power of the Buma Lingda Lie?"

Vifiya did not hide her confusion in front of her: "Who is Buma Lingdalie?"

Seeing her appearance, Debbie touched her chin and observed the girl in front of her again, sensing the possible magic power on her. Unfortunately, the entire dormitory only had her own magic power.

She was sure that she was an ordinary child. If there was anything different about her, it was probably that she looked different from most of them.

Debbie was also very curious as to why she was the one who possessed the power of Buma Lingdale. She had seen her use the power with her own eyes through the magically disguised cave wall, so there was no mistake.

There was surprise in her eyes. This little girl named Xiaohui actually got the recognition of Buma Lingdale and obtained His power.

What's different about her?

What did she have that was enough to attract the attention of a nearly divine being?

Why would a god who only had a few words left in the mouths of humans give his power to her?

Debbie's heart suddenly moved. She raised two fingers, and the threads of magic entwined between her fingertips. She looked at Vifiya and said, "I won't cause you any harm, nor will you feel any discomfort."

Without waiting for Vifia to answer, Debbie's magic thread flew towards her.

The silk thread was moving very fast, and Vifia didn't know how to avoid the magic. She could only do what she thought she should do.

She turned sideways, and the silk thread followed her direction, flying faster, but it disappeared instantly half a meter away from her.

The magic power on Debbie's fingers also dissipated in an instant. She was surprised and subconsciously released the magic power around her body to investigate.

Are there other magicians here?

The magic spread throughout the entire Samson Tower, and she could not detect anything.

The magic power just now must have been released by a magician. Unlike ordinary magicians, his magic power was exquisite, but like a child who had just learned to walk. Although he was clumsy, he could control the magic power accurately. Without touching Xiao Hui, he accurately followed her magic power to find her, the person who cast the magic.

But now she couldn't find the owner of the magic power. The only magic power that could release the magic power and then take it back so that she couldn't sense it at all was stronger than hers.

Magic power even stronger than hers?

The Great Magician? Debbie denied her guess. No, she shouldn't be here.

Everything that had just happened was beyond Vifia's expectations. Things were developing in a direction she was not aware of. With calm eyes, she asked Debbie, "What do you want to do?"

Debbie's face was sincere and genuine: "Sorry, I was impatient."

She did not release any more magic towards Vifiya, and to reassure the girl, she took several steps back.

Debbie's originally restless heart calmed down a little, and her bronze-gold eyes did not leave the girl. Could it be her?

Vifiya raised her eyes and looked at her. The magician in front of her was puzzled. He said he was talking but actually said nothing. Instead, he was testing her all the time.

"Is it important?" Vifiya asked.

Hearing her words, Debbie fell silent for a moment. In fact, there was no need to verify it. She was just curious. She had seen with her own eyes that Xiao Hui could use the power of Buma Lingdale.

But it is not enough. This alone is not enough to determine.

Sensing something, Debbie's eyes passed by Vifia and fell on the door: "There's someone outside."

Vifia turned around. Who could it be? Nerys? She had told her before she left that it probably wouldn't be her. Madam Maggie? No. Clover? She should be preparing dinner now.

Although she did not sense any ill will from the magician, she could not tell what her purpose was. Judging from her current appearance, she had no intention of avoiding her.

"Not open? Don't make the people outside wait too long." Debbie said gently like an elder.

Her gaze was too intense, and I heard her continue, "Do you need my help?"

"No." It would be better for her to open the door herself than to ask her to.

Vifiya took a few steps forward, hesitated for a moment, and then held the door handle tightly.

Grass-green shoulder-length hair caught my eye. An unexpected person, very unexpected.

Vifia calmly closed the door a little, avoiding Debbie's sight behind her.

She looked at the boy, who was about her height, and asked, "Isn't it time to pray now?"

The boy didn't answer, his eyes were blank under his long bangs, and he himself didn't know why he came here.

For some reason that day, he did not withdraw his power from her.

He couldn't describe his feeling. At that time, he just felt warm all over, as if something had become particularly full.

The world seems to be at hand.

He wanted to experience it again.

He didn't know why her thread suddenly trembled.

At that moment, something strange gently wrapped around his heart, and for no reason, he knew it was uneasiness.

The heartbeat in his ears did not belong to him, "bang" "bang", and his heart, which had always been silent, started beating on the left side of his chest.

"Bang" "Bang", slowly becoming consistent with the sounds in my ears.

Just like now, it was still beating, it was so violent for the first time, he felt its existence for the first time, and perceived "me" clearly for the first time.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't hate it.

The experience was too unfamiliar, so when he noticed her thread trembling and she was uneasy, he came.

By the time he reacted, he was already standing in front of the door.

Now that she was standing in front of him, he didn't know what to say or do.

He didn't say anything, and Vifiya didn't know what he wanted to do. There was a magician behind him, so she said softly, "If you have nothing to do, go back first."

The boy remained silent. His eyes were hidden behind his bangs, and Vifia didn't know whether he was looking at her or not.

The boy suddenly stretched out his hand. There was a layer of membrane here, which was the power of the thread trying to get close to her. He grabbed it lightly, and the soundproof magic belonging to Debbie's magic shattered in an instant.

Debbie took a few steps forward in surprise. Her breathing was a little rapid. The wooden door and Vifiya's figure blocked her view. She heard her own dry voice: "Let him in."

Upon hearing this, Vifiya turned around and no longer concealed her vigilance: "Didn't you say that you were only looking for me?"

Debbie opened her mouth, then closed it again. She looked at the girl at the door, her expression becoming complicated. "Please."

Vifiya really couldn't figure out the magician's purpose. At first, she was confused, he used magic on her, and now he was so submissive.

Vifia didn’t know whether the boy’s strength could compete with Debbie’s. She was even less sure whether the boy would fight back when someone tried to hurt him.

but……

Similarly, she had her own selfish motives. She wanted to know why the magician, whom Madam Maggie never showed himself to others, kept saying that he was looking for her.

She looked back at the quiet boy and asked, "Do you want to come in?"
