Weird asylum, you're taking in a human like me?

Lu Xiao was very satisfied with this.

After all, who can refuse an obedient and lovely daughter?

Not long after, Ivan came in holding a bone-carved castle.

"Lu, let the little one see it quickly. If she doesn't like it, I will change it immediately."

There was a toolbox hanging on his bones, obviously to prevent this from happening.

Lu Xiao was immediately attracted by the exquisite medieval castle at first glance.

The castle is more than one meter high and has a jade-colored luster.

The word "magnificent" is very appropriate to describe the appearance of this bone sculpture.

Through the reserved windows, you can see that the interior of the castle is very complete.

Not only does it have a living room, bedroom, small kitchen, toy room, but it also has a garden.

Lu Xiao exclaimed.

"Mr. Ivan, this is really a great work of art!"

The soul fire in Ivan's eyes jumped, and his skeleton shook slightly.

He placed the castle on the ground, and a slightly excited voice came.

"Lu Qian, come and see if you like it."

After hearing this, Lu Qian looked back at Lu Xiao and saw Lu Xiao nod.

Then she flew towards the bone-carved castle.

Lu Qian first flew around the castle twice, and then plunged into the castle.

She was like an elegant elf strolling in the castle.

Finally, she stopped on a swing in the garden.

As her wings flapped, the swing swung.

Lu Qian's crisp laughter like a silver bell came from the castle.

Lu Xiao grinned.

"It seems that Lu Qian likes it very much."

Hearing this, Ivan seemed to be relieved.

He put down the tool box hanging on the bone, and then sat next to the castle.

Ivan's voice came from Lu Xiao's body.

"Lu, do you know?"

"I used to look at them like this."

"Looking at those children holding the toys I carved."

"Their sincere smiles always make me feel satisfied."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao immediately thought of Ivan's past.

He sat down next to Ivan and then comforted him softly.

"Mr. Ivan, we always have to look forward and can't always be immersed in the past."

Ivan shook his head.

"I'm not immersed in the past, but seeing Lu Qian reminds me of that time."

"My flesh and bones were separated by them."

"They buried my remains deep in the church."

"Those priests recited scriptures over and over again, imprisoning my soul in this skeleton."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"But you are still so kind."

"Then how were you taken in?"

Ivan seemed to be lost in memories, and the soul fire in his eyes burned slowly.

"Later, a witch came to that town."

"She killed those humans cruelly."

"Finally, she dug out my bones and made them into a puppet."

"Perhaps this is fate."

"The witch didn't find that my soul still existed."

"In this way, I learned alchemy by her side."

"Until the moment I thought I was strong enough to kill her easily, I broke free and made her into a puppet."

"Of course, I also kept her soul and let her guard the church to atone for the crimes she committed."

"Then I buried myself until the jailer found me."

"They took me in and told me that I was a strange life from the dark prison."

After hearing these words, Lu Xiao fell into deep thought.

According to Ivan's words.

He originally lived in a normal world.

Lu Xiao calculated that Ivan should be talking about the Middle Ages.

At that time, alchemy was popular on the European continent, and witches appeared at that time.

Ivan buried himself, apparently falling into a deep sleep, and never woke up in the middle.

But the jailer said that Ivan was a strange life from the Dark Prison.

Lu Xiao felt that he seemed to have grasped something.

Due to the lack of information, he could not confirm his guess.

"Could it be that the Dark Prison is the world I originally lived in?"

Thinking of this, he immediately asked the Mirror of All-Knowing.

"Mirror, is the Dark Prison the world I originally lived in?"

"What is the price of this question?"

The voice of the Mirror of All-Knowing sounded in his ears.

"The answer to this question is irrelevant to you, it only takes a piece of your fingernail."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao skillfully pulled off a piece of fingernail.

"The Dark Prison is the world you originally lived in."

After swallowing the fingernail, the Mirror of All-Knowing gave its own answer.After hearing the answer, Lu Xiao was stunned.

"So what happened to the world I was originally in?"

"Why did it become like that?"

The voice of the All-Knowing Mirror came.

"The price of this answer is too heavy for you."

"I suggest you find the answer yourself."

As if afraid that Lu Xiao would be angry, the All-Knowing Mirror continued to comfort him.

"Sometimes, shortcuts don't have to be taken."

"Choosing a shortcut means paying a greater price."

Lu Xiao's eyes dimmed for a moment.

"Is it another fork in the road?"

"How many forks in the road will I have to face?"

The All-Knowing Mirror stopped talking.

Ivan felt Lu Xiao's low mood and asked in confusion.

"You seem a little sad. Did something bad happen?"

Lu Xiao shook his head and smiled.

"It's okay. I thought of some unhappy things."

He hurriedly changed the subject.

"By the way, Mr. Ivan, if Lu Qian grows up, won't he be able to live in this castle?"

Ivan's voice was a little proud.

"Don't worry, I have carved an alchemy array about space on this castle."

As he said that, he chanted an obscure spell.

Then, the bone-carved castle instantly shrank to the size of a pendant.

And Lu Qian inside was also shrunk.

Ivan explained.

"As long as Lu Qian is inside, the space will change with the size of her body."

"Of course, only Lu Qian can enter this castle."

Lu Xiao just felt magical.

"Is alchemy so magical?"

"Mr. Ivan, can you teach me alchemy?"

Ivan waved his hand.

"These are just some inferior means."

"The essence of alchemy is equivalent exchange."

"This is not a skill worth spending time to learn for you."

Hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded with some regret.

"That's such a pity."

Then, Lu Xiao thought of Ivan carving an alchemy circle on his bones.

Now he carved a castle like this for Lu Qian.

Since the essence of alchemy is equal exchange.

It is conceivable how much Ivan paid.

But Ivan never mentioned these.

For a moment, Lu Xiao felt that this friendship was a bit heavy.

Thinking of this, he stood up and bowed deeply to Ivan.

"Thank you, Mr. Ivan!"
