Someone from the Bookno family? ...Although Soraya recognized the identity of the man in the windbreaker, she had no intention of paying attention to him and went straight towards Leila.

The man in the windbreaker lowered the brim of his hat and watched the two figures walking into the park with a hawk-like expression.

Today, Bechenoth National Park is particularly lively. Due to some policies of the kingdom, there are many more travelers from other countries in the park, and the specialties and customs they bring will inevitably arouse the curiosity of the locals.

Leila held Soraya's hand and stopped at one stall or makeshift shop after another, occasionally buying some small items and snacks.

After a memorable round of laughter, they came to the wishing well, which was said to be very effective in making wishes.

"I heard that as long as you throw money in, your wish will come true. Soraya, what do you want to wish for?"

Leila asked with a smile as she pulled on her roommate's clothes.

"Why should I make it first? Also, shouldn't we speak out our wishes?"

Soraya folded her hands and looked at her friend in a feigned anger.

Leila stuck out her tongue. "Okay, let's make a wish together. Let's hold the copper coin in our hands first..."

Seeing that her friend had closed his eyes, Soraya also took out a copper coin, closed his eyes, and began to make a wish.

I hope I can be with Leila forever...

When Soraya opened her eyes again, she was about to throw the copper coin into the pool, but the scene in front of her had changed drastically.

It was no longer a crowded, sunny park, but a dim, enclosed space, and the candlelight next to it emitted not an orange glow but a pale white.

She tried to move her body, and there was a rustling sound of chains rubbing against each other, and she was tied to the wall.

As the descendant of a very large family, Soraya did not panic like an ordinary girl, but quickly glanced at the surrounding scene.

The walls here seemed to be built with the simplest bricks and stones. She didn't know what was in the darkness ahead, and her eyes could not see through it.

Was it someone from the Bookno family? ...Thinking of the man in the windbreaker she saw outside the park, Soraya almost immediately came up with a guess.

"I don't care who you are! But you dare to kidnap someone from the Lions family! You are finished! Let me go right now! I can forgive you for what happened!"

The girl's voice echoed in the empty room, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

"Very good! You will regret it..." Soraya gritted her teeth. She was very angry. This was the basic character of a noble person. If she still didn't give him face when her family was in the picture, it would be a provocation.

She closed her eyes, and a faint, imperceptible magical power flowed gently in her body, connecting to an inconspicuous tattoo on her ankle, which was used to contact elders in an emergency when encountering danger outside.

However, the tattoo on the ankle only glowed slightly for a while and then there was no movement.

Soraya suddenly opened her eyes, and panic appeared in her eyes for the first time.

She tried a few more times, but still to no avail.

Damn it, I wonder if they did anything to Leila? ... Soraya was still worried about others at this time.

On the other side, Leila was at the top of a dilapidated bell tower, tied with ropes and lying on her side at the foot of a pillar.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a huge black clock that looked ancient and heavy.

The sky outside was gray, with lightning flashing from time to time, and flying creatures that looked like demons flying up and down above the ancient buildings.

Leila didn't know where this place was and wanted to recall what she had experienced, but she only remembered the time before she closed her eyes and made a wish, and she couldn't remember anything after that.

An unprecedented feeling of fear came over her, causing her whole body to tremble instinctively.

A few strands of hair stuck to her cheeks and corners of her mouth, making this ordinary girl feel even more uncomfortable.

She tried to move, trying to find a way to leave.

But soon, voices were heard coming closer and she froze immediately.

"That stinky girl of Lions is fine, but we don't dare to kill the civilian girl who is with her. She is protected by something. Several companions tried to take action but were killed directly. I hope the adults can take a look. We are afraid that the family's plan will go wrong."

"If a common girl can be in such a situation, then she is no longer a common girl. There may be a magician behind her. But don't worry, compared to us, they are just trifles."

Two people walked up the stairs next to them. One was a middle-aged man wearing a wizard robe embroidered with gold edges, and the other was a tall man with muscles that made his windbreaker bulge.

The magician-like man came up to Leila and looked down at her. "Is that her? There's no magical fluctuation on her body. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I can swear! When we captured Soraya, we were planning to kill her, but as soon as we wanted to kill her, black magic would shoot out of her body and kill the person who did it. Even Lord Andecro couldn't defend himself and was gone in an instant!"

The man in the windbreaker said with some fear.

"But you still kidnapped her."

"Who are you? Please don't hurt me... I'm just an ordinary person..."

The magician ignored Leila's pitiful plea and raised his hand. A circular and complicated magic circle appeared on his palm.

"We can't help it. If this omission affects the family's affairs, we will all die. That's why I had the guts to move her here. Fortunately, as long as we don't have murderous intentions or too much malicious intent, we won't be harmed."

The man in the windbreaker grimaced.

"You are smart. We are not allowed to disturb the family's affairs... huh?"

The magician who was examining suddenly frowned as he spoke.

"What's wrong, sir?" the man in the windbreaker asked nervously.

The magician ignored him and used both hands to cast magic to check, but the more he checked, the uglier his expression became.

"This is a cursed person! And it's a curse I can't understand! Stay away from her!"

The magician flew out of the clock tower using wind magic as if he was avoiding the plague god and hovered outside.

The man in the windbreaker sat down on the ground and shouted to the magician: "Sir! Please look at me! Am I cursed too? I don't want to die, sir!"

The magician's face was covered in cold sweat at this moment. He had just lightly touched the source of the curse on the girl, and he felt as if the sky was falling. This was the first time he felt such a feeling since he became a supreme sixth-level magician.

He glared at the crying man in the windbreaker and said, "You stay here and watch carefully! You are not cursed, so you can rest assured! Whatever cursed her, it won't be easy to find here. Once the family's affairs are settled, they will naturally send people to deal with it. Even if they can't handle it, they can ask the Knight King to come. What are you afraid of?"

The man in the windbreaker felt much better, but he was still worried.
