The Book of Maiden Contract

"Still haven't found it?" Lindy asked in a deep voice as she stood at the captain's seat with a sullen face inside the Asla ship.

"I have searched all the places that can be searched, but... sorry, there is no trace." Several operators sitting in front of the controller looked ashamed, and there was a trace of loneliness in their tone.

"That's really troublesome..." Lindy frowned suddenly, raised her hand subconsciously, and raised her chin to think, "Asla's search equipment should be correct, if not, where would it go?"

"Maybe it's not in this world." Lin Luo said as he came forward from behind.

"Hmm..." Lindy pondered for a moment, then looked at Yuno who had been standing beside him and asked, "Mr. Yuno, are you sure that all the seeds of the holy stone have fallen into this world?"

Yuno squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "It shouldn't be wrong, because the spaceship I was on fell in this world at that time, and there was no dimensional earthquake at that time, and the 21 seeds of the holy stone must be somewhere in this world."

Sure shit! Hearing Yuno's unsuspecting tone, Lin Luo really wanted to slap him in the face, and thought: A certain seed of the holy stone that you dug out didn't live well in this world, but flew to the zero-eating plane.

Of course, Lin Luo only talked about such a shocking topic in his heart. Anyway, it had nothing to do with this incident, so he would not bring it up. He just complained secretly for a while, but a question arose in his heart: Since there was no dimensional earthquake at that time, why did the seed of the holy stone enter the Zero Food Plane?

If you only look at it from the power of the Holy Stone Seed, there seems to be no doubt about it, at most it is just a matter of probability and randomness, but when you think about it carefully, it makes people suspicious... You must know that without the power of human factors to promote it, it is impossible for the Holy Stone Seed to carry out such things as crossing planes alone, at most it will only affect the appearance of the city. In other words, the seed of the holy stone will enter the zero-eating plane, is there a human factor with a certain probability or more? !

Although there is no definite evidence, but in connection with a series of strange things that have happened recently, Lin Luo can't ignore this question anyway. He always feels that if he doesn't figure it out, he will be in great trouble.

"Lin Jun, do you have any comments?" Just as Lin Luo was thinking, Lindy suddenly cast her gaze over, "About the whereabouts of the last holy stone seed."

That's right, what they are looking for right now is the seed of the last holy stone.

There are a total of 21 holy stone seeds dug out by Yuno, ten of them are in the hands of Precia, and ten are in the hands of Naye and the Space-Time Administration, but the last one is still missing. Even after searching all possible places in the past two days, they still can't find it.

This is not a small incident. Even if it is just a seed of the holy stone, the power that erupts with all its strength will be very terrifying. If there are two more magisters like Naye and Feite to snatch it, it is not impossible for one bad enough to cause a dimensional shock, or even cause the destruction of the entire world.

Therefore, for this last seed of the holy stone, the Space-Time Management Bureau, Naye and others all attach great importance to it.

"No clue." Lin Luo shook his head. Although he is the strongest among the crowd, he is obviously the last one in understanding the Holy Stone Seed. Whether it is searching or other things, he is definitely not as strong as these professionals. Since he can't even find them, how could he have a clue.

Of course, it's not that he doesn't have any clues. First, according to the seed of the holy stone in the zero-eating plane, it can be speculated that the last one may have entered other planes or worlds, but if this is the case, there is no need to bring it up. The second is the behind-the-scenes mastermind who has been "acting mischievously" before... Although the surname may not be very big, it cannot be ruled out.

However, Lin Luo himself is not sure whether this black hand exists behind the scenes. It is obviously inappropriate to mention it at this time. After all...the confrontation with Precia will soon be faced.

"Then put aside the matter of the Holy Stone Seed for the time being, and deal with Precia first." Lindy, as the captain, is obviously very decisive, and she has a clear view of the overall situation. Comparing one Holy Stone Seed with the ten in Precia's hand, the latter is undoubtedly more important.

After hesitating for a moment, he immediately asked a girl in front of the console, "Amy, have you found Precia's location now?"

"Wait a minute, I'm cracking her magic spell, it will take a few minutes. It's really cunning, although I gave a correct coordinate, but it's like a maze... I found it! The coordinates are confirmed, and the magic circle is sent!"

After a while, the girl suddenly cried out excitedly, and pressed her finger on the operating platform, and the space-time garden appeared on the big screen, and at that moment, she had already established a magic transfer point in the space-time garden.

"Good job!" Lindy said excitedly without hesitation in her tone of praise, "Armed personnel, dispatch from the teleportation point, the mission is to arrest Precia Testerosa!"

"yes!"

In an instant, two teams of twenty armed magisters invaded the Space-Time Garden.

"Mom..." Looking at this scene, Fei Te couldn't help lowering his head, and his two little hands were tightly held together.

Lindy glanced at her and felt that she couldn't let her see the scene of her mother being arrested, otherwise she would leave a little psychological shadow at this age, so she secretly ordered Naye to take Fett back to the room, but Fett didn't move a single step. When the two girls were in a stalemate, with the armed magisters searching, a green passage appeared on the big screen. In the huge glass vessel in the middle of the passage, a little girl with blond hair floated in it with her eyes closed and her legs hugged.

The last play finally started... Lin Luo subconsciously looked to the side. As he expected, Feite and Naye all widened their eyes, looking at the blonde girl on the screen, their eyes were full of disbelief, and they couldn't even speak.

"Don't touch my Alicia!" On the screen, just as the armed magisters were about to step forward to check, Precia suddenly appeared in front of them, her eyes were sharp and cold, and she knocked everyone down with just one blow.

"Oops! Send the wounded back!" Lindy's face changed drastically. Precia's strength exceeded her expectations. Facing this kind of opponent, ordinary magisters are useless. In desperation, in order to avoid casualties, she immediately ordered Amy to perform magic teleportation.

Regarding all of this, Precia did not stop, walked slowly to the glass vessel, put her hands in it, looked at the little girl inside, her eyes were filled with mother's kindness and tenderness, "There is no time, it is time for us to set off, Alicia."

"Mom...Mom..." Feite stared blankly at the situation on the screen, her small body was trembling slightly, she had hoped for that look countless times, but was disappointed countless times, Precia had never looked at her like this, Alicia... who the hell?

As if knowing what Feite was thinking at the moment, Precia turned her head and looked at everyone through the screen. What was shown in her eyes was no longer the kindness of her mother, but the chill of looking at the enemy: "It's over, and now I'm going to Alhazad, the legendary land, and bid farewell to the dark time I spent after losing my child. I don't have to treat this child's substitute doll as a girl anymore."

Feite's body trembled suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice, "Stand-in...doll?"

Naye looked towards Feite, her eyes were full of worry. Although she didn't understand what was going on, she could tell that it didn't seem to be a good thing.

"Hear it, I'm talking about you, Feite!" Precia's tone showed a trace of contempt and disgust, "It's rare that I gave you Alicia's memory, but it's just the same appearance, useless at all, just a useless puppet."

"..." Feite was completely speechless, his eyes were dull, as if dead.

At this moment, Amy, who was sitting in the control room, stated all the facts she had investigated: "In the initial accident, Precia lost her own daughter Alicia, and the research she conducted in the end was different from that of the servant demon...artificial life refining, and the forbidden technique to revive the dead. The name Feite was the development code of her research plan at that time..."

"You did your research very clearly." Precia sneered. "That's right, just as you have investigated, Feite is just a prop that I used to replace Alicia, but...the research is not going well. Artificial life is just artificial life after all, and counterfeit products will never replace Alicia! Feite, you can't do it at all."

Hearing this shocking fact, Feite couldn't help lowering his head, his face was full of grief, tears were rolling in his eyes, but he insisted on not falling... Finally, he understood why the mother in memory was completely different from the mother in reality, and he was just an imitation.

Looking at the expression on her face, Naiye felt empathy, and mustered up the courage to shout at Precia: "Don't...don't say any more!"

But Precia completely ignored it, and continued: "Now, Alicia will be resurrected soon, so I don't need the counterfeit to replace her, Feite, did you hear that? I don't need you anymore, don't come to see me again, just find a place to fend for yourself!"

"Damn it! This bastard!" Hearing her ruthless words, most people were filled with indignation, especially Elf, who gritted her teeth as if she wanted to cut Precia into pieces.

However, Feite, who was the client, didn't say a word, only her slightly trembling body and the tears she was about to shed showed what kind of shock she was suffering in her heart.

Although Lin Luo couldn't bear it, he knew it was necessary. Some people can change with just a small incident, but some people can only change after experiencing great grief and pain. Feite belongs to the latter. Only after knowing the real facts can she cut off the past and move towards a new future.

"Let me tell you one more good thing, Fett... you know? I've hated you ever since I made you!"

Precia's words are undoubtedly extremely cruel. Even if some people can accept that the people they value only use themselves as props, few people can accept the fact that "the person I love the most hates me". For Fett, that is more cruel than "I am just a copy".

The girl who had been strong enough to endure the cruel facts could no longer suppress the grief and despair in her heart. Tears welled up in her eyes, her eyes darkened for a moment, and her petite body fell down as the magic tool in the form of an ornament fell to the ground.

"Feite!" Naye and Elf rushed up immediately, gently supporting her, but they had nothing to say.

"It's not good!" At this moment, Amy in the control room suddenly uttered a panicked cry, "Many magical reactions suddenly appeared in the space-time garden, all of which were A-level, and... and there was a prelude reaction of the dimensional shock! Oops, Precia intends to use the power of the holy stone seed to activate the dimensional drive furnace!"

"What!" Lindy's expression changed drastically. She thought of what Precia said just now that she was going to the legendary land of Alhazad, and she immediately understood what the other party wanted to do. "No! She must be stopped immediately. Once there is a dimensional earthquake, the consequences will be unimaginable... Kronor!"

boom!

Just when this sentence was finished, the entire ship shook violently, followed by harsh sirens... Obviously, Prezia had activated the Holy Stone Seed, and the response of the Dimensional Shock even came here from the Garden of Time and Space. And as the activation time of the Seed of the Holy Stone continued, the scale of the dimensional earthquake also continued to rise.

"It has reached a medium scale, and it is estimated that a dimensional fault will occur in another 30 minutes!" Amy warned aloud. The so-called dimensional fault is like the dimensional turbulence caused by Lin Luo activating the holy stone seed during the Three Kings War, which will endanger the safety of the entire world.

Faced with this situation, there was no time for hesitation. After strengthening Asura's anti-shock measures, Krono immediately attacked. At the same time, after sending Feite back to the waiting room, Naye and Yuno also volunteered to fight.

Even Lindy, who is the commander, is ready to visit the scene in person.

Only Lin Luo didn't go, because he knew what the outcome of this battle would be. From the very beginning, it was just a scene, a scene directed and acted by Prezia, or it could be said to be a sin ritual... The purpose was to deceive her, Feite, and even everyone!

And besides that, Lin Luo has more important things to do.

In the lounge, Feite was lying on a hospital bed. Although his eyes were open, his eyes were empty and gray. He was lifeless. He didn't even move his eyelids, like a living dead who had lost his will to live.

Lin Luo and Elf stood on both sides of the bed.

"Ai Erfu, you can also help Naye and the others." A moment later, holding Feite's cold hand, Lin Luo said this to Al Fu who was standing on the other side.

"But Feite..." Elf was stunned for a moment, looking at Feite lying on the bed, somewhat hesitant.

"It's okay, I will let her recover." Lin Luo smiled lightly, his tone full of confidence, "And, you also need to vent properly, right?"

Elf hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded, leaned down and said softly to Feite: "I'm worried about Naye and the others, go help them now, and I will be back soon, I will work hard, so Feite, you have to work hard and survive this level. After everything is over, Feite's time will only be controlled by Feite."

After finishing speaking, Elf took a deep look at Feite, and then left without looking back.

The heart that was once opened will be closed even tighter if it encounters despair again. This is undoubtedly the case for Feite at this time. In the original book, because Feite's heart has never been opened to anyone, so even after being hit like this, he will soon figure it out by himself, and then choose the path to take in the future, but!

This time was different, she closed her heart even tighter, and she couldn't get out by herself.

"Hey, Feite, I know you can hear what I said now, so I said..." Lin Luo held Feite's hand, and pressed the other hand on her forehead, and said with a soft smile, "Today's things are indeed cruel. It's normal for people who work hard like you to not be able to bear it. I can understand that you will close your heart. It's really sad."

"Your mother said that you are not as good as Alicia. She said that she hates you. I will not speculate on the truth of these words, nor will I forcibly instill what I understand on you, but ah...even if what she said is true, it does not mean that you are an annoying person, and it does not mean that you will always be alone."

"Look." Lin Luo helped her up and pointed at the screen in the room, "Everyone is fighting, fighting for everyone's future. Elf, I have lived with you since I was a child, it is impossible for her to hate you, Naye, she calls your name over and over again, and I hope to be friends with you, and you can feel her sincerity, right? How could she hate you?"

"As well as Yuno, Clono, Admiral Lindy, and even everyone on this ship, they were very angry when they heard Precia's excessive words, which proves that everyone likes you."

"Not only these people, but also Alisa and Suzuka who are not here, as well as Naye's family, everyone regards you as a friend. Have you found out? Everyone who has been with you will be attracted to you and will like you. This is your personality charm."

"Even if you are a clone, it doesn't matter, even if you can't become Alicia, it doesn't matter, Fate is Fate. I know that you used to live for your mother, just to make her accept you. If you don't have her, maybe you won't be able to live... But life cannot be avoided."

"In a person's life, there are many painful things, such as the tragedy of a loved one getting married but the groom is not me. More or less everyone will encounter unsatisfactory or even hopeless things, but if you choose to escape because of this, you may lose what you could have gained."

"You don't need to think about what is the most important thing now, just look for it slowly. If you can't live for yourself, then you might as well try to live for those who like you... It's too early to want to die just because you lost an important thing."

"You need to know." Lin Luo looked into Fei Te's eyes and smiled, "There are many people who need you."

"..." Fate didn't speak, but the gray eyes gradually became brighter.
