Luo Fan instantly panicked, but he found himself trapped in the magic circle and unable to escape. He could only send his clone to find Xiao Xue for help.
Even when they tried to contact Ellie, there was no response.
The door was pushed open, and Rovelland walked in with a smile.
"Why are you here?" The Duchess looked at the newcomer in surprise, while continuing to maintain the operation of the magic circle.
"Heh~, can't I come? This is a spell I left behind, do you think I wouldn't know it?"
"If it were the two of you who used it back then, I might have been happier."
"Could there be something wrong with this spell?"
"You're still so stupid. How can that guy be so devoted to you? If there's something wrong with this spell, wouldn't you all notice?"
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Of course, it's to subdue these two children. The spell itself is fine, but I left a backdoor in the magic circle that you definitely wouldn't be able to see."
"You!" The Duchess realized she couldn't stop the magic circle.
"How was it? Pretty cool, huh? Oh, right. The magic circle can't be turned off, or these two kids will be in mortal danger!" Lovran said with a laugh, stepping into the circle from a corner.
In the room, only the glowing screen remained, and the Duchess, her face streaked with tears, was forced to maintain the magic circle.
To avoid being disturbed, they did not tell anyone else about it.
But not long after, the Duke was brought over by Xiaoxue. After learning about the situation, he comforted his wife and began to try to decipher the magic circle.
Luo Fan's clone, using the same path as before, jumped into it.
"This is... an illusion array?" Luo Fan found himself back in the Monster Forest, except that there were two girls with him, who seemed to be hugging each other in a panic.
Ahead lay many strange and bizarre magical beasts, some resembling snakes, others wolves. The leader, shrouded in malevolent energy and whose nature was unclear, stood baring its teeth and stopped ahead.
"Haha~, only one of you two will get out alive!"
Okay, Luo Fan was ignored. However, Ellie, who was beside him, also seemed to ignore him.
Luo Fan stretched out his tentacles to try, but couldn't touch them at all; instead, they passed right through their bodies.
"Are those magical beasts like that too?" Luo Fan pondered for a moment, and even sensed his clone, so he decisively merged into one.
Then he ran towards the monster over there and kept poking at it, but it was all just an illusion.
"If only I could take a picture, my heroic figure would definitely amaze the world!"
"Hey, what's that thing lurking behind the monsters?" Luo Fan nudged it, only to find it was just a phantom. It was just hidden by shadows, so he couldn't see what was inside.
"What should we do? Where is that woman?"
Ellie held her younger sister tightly, without saying a word. She realized that she couldn't cast spells here, and her staff was nowhere to be found.
"Sister, please leave. I don't want to be a burden to you!"
"Lise, I don't want to! I said we'd always be together, and no one can separate us!"
"Oh, you don't want to leave?" the monster spoke again, and that guy went straight forward, separated them, and hung them on a large tree that suddenly appeared.
"I'll give you thirty seconds. If you can't make a decision by then, you're all going to die!" A strange voice rang out, giving Luo Fan goosebumps.
"That voice...it's definitely Eunuch Wei!"
"25, 24, 23..."
"Sister~, go out! Don't worry about me, I don't want to be a burden to you!"
"No, Liz, I want to be with you, never to be apart!" Ellie remembered her mission and knew she could never abandon her.
"10, 9, 8..."
"So you're going to die together? Then I'll grant your wish!"
"Wait, let me say a few words." The sleazy guy from before came out. Except for the head, which looked like Rovel, the body was still a blur.
"Ellie, Liz, if you're willing to follow me from now on, I can plead for you and get these guys to let you go!"
"Lovran, you big bad guy, how did you get in here?" Ellie looked at her in surprise, not expecting such a turn of events.
"Teacher Rovellan, have you come to save us?" Liz exclaimed in surprise.
"Liz, don't believe her, she's not a good person!"
"But, sister..."
"Ellie, I know you've misunderstood me, but please believe me, I will definitely treat you both well." Rovel said with deep affection, even squeezing out many tears.
Luo Fan couldn't stand it anymore. If this continued, both girls would be snatched away by someone else!
But they can't see me, and I can't touch them. What should I do?
Without a physical form, isn't it just like those things in the library back then?
Why don't you give it a try? What if it works?
Well, let's give it a shot, no matter what!
"Shut up, all of you!"
Lovran, who was still speaking, was suddenly struck by a blow and could no longer speak, while the magical beasts simply vanished.
Even the tree and ropes that bound the two girls had disappeared.
In the empty open space, Ellie held Liz, staring blankly at Luo Fan not far away. She tried to open her mouth, but found that she couldn't speak at all.
"Hey~, Ellie, why aren't you saying anything? Are you mute? Or are you moved by my heroic demeanor?" Seeing the look in Ellie's eyes, Luo Fan knew that she could see him.
"Shut up!" The voice came directly from the depths of his heart, with that familiar tone.
The entire space was eerily quiet.
Loveland also saw the slime, but she didn't know what had happened. The tremor had directly shaken her hidden body out.
What happened to the test? Why did it end so suddenly? She hadn't convinced the two girls yet! This place isn't safe; with her divine sense exposed, she was easily attacked.
Why can't she speak?! If she could just trick those two girls into handing over a wisp of her divine consciousness, she could control them.
Also, what the heck is this slime? How did it get in? How could it possibly get in?
Luo Fan moved first, skillfully jumping into Lis's arms, only to hear his sister's voice.
"Sister, we're alright, that's great!" But Ellie didn't seem to hear her at all.
"Is it really okay?" Luo Fan tried to communicate, only to find that the little girl was hugging him tightly.
"Who, who's talking to me? Sister, I'm so scared!" A strange male voice appeared in her mind, making Ellie very flustered.
Ellie didn't know what had happened, but hearing Luo Fan's voice made her feel at ease.
"I'm your brother Luo Fan, and I'm right here in your arms. Your sister just cast a spell, so you can hold me and chat from now on."
"Really?" Liz still couldn't believe it.
"Then let me touch your little face." Luo Fan stretched out his tentacle.
"Wow, really? I can talk to you now? That's wonderful!" Liz hugged her even tighter.
Luo Fan had spent a lot of time with her at home before, and she was very familiar with that feeling.
"Yes, and also, you have to listen to your sister from now on! And let me tell you, that woman is not a good person. She wants to take you and your sister away, separate you, and then sell you to a faraway place, so she has been deceiving you!"
"No, I don't want to leave my sister!" Liz cried out.
Seeing Liz's actions, Ellie was speechless. All her hard work over the years was no match for this guy's few words.
It seems the Heart-to-Heart Mantra really works, but I don't know how it transferred to Luo Fan's side.
But this is for the best; it's better than letting someone else benefit from it. At least she can hear what Luo Fan is saying.
After noticing the slime's anomaly, Loveland tried to move as well, but very slowly. Wasn't this area supposed to restrict physical movement? Could it be that the little guy has a very strong spiritual sense?
Impossible, absolutely impossible! Her spiritual power couldn't possibly be inferior to that of a slime!
"Luo Fan, that woman is trying to cause trouble again, stop her quickly!" Ai Li noticed the abnormality and quickly reminded her.
"Oh, I was so busy chatting with my sister that I forgot about the other guy." Luo Fan tried to create a clone, but failed.
"Forget it, I'll just do it myself!" Leaving Lis's embrace, Luo Fan rushed over, but then he remembered the connection he had just established with Lis and something suddenly occurred to him.
"That wretched woman, I have no desire to have any spiritual exchanges with her!"
So, it transformed into a sharp cone and stabbed directly at the target.
With a piercing scream, the magic circle shattered, and the three reappeared in the room.
But apart from Luo Fan, none of the three reacted; they all appeared to have fainted.
