Heartfilia, the guest hall of the old house...
Not long after Evan took his seat, a few maids walked over with black tea and fruit juice.
It had to be said that Heartfilia Family was very efficient. Perhaps it was also because of the high salary of the Heartfilia Family that the maids and housekeepers had a strong sense of belonging to the Heartfilia Family, so their efficiency was surprisingly fast...
"Thank you..."
Evan smiled faintly at the maid and directly took the black tea and apple juice from the maid. He also indicated that they had nothing to do here, so there was no need to help them pour water.
"Here..."
Evan put the apple juice in front of Mystogan and smiled.
"En..."
In his hand was a crystal glass. Looking at the apple juice in the glass, he was silent for a while.
In any case, he was a prince of a country. Although he had broken up with his father and had not enjoyed such luxurious treatment for a long time, this did not mean that he was like a child who was so fascinated by a glass of apple juice.
"Suck..."
As he thought of this, he held the crystal glass the size of his forearm and took a sip of the apple juice in the glass.
"En, so sweet, so fragrant..."
After taking a sip of the apple juice and feeling the texture of the sofa cotton, he revealed a faint smile.
"Cough cough..."
Following that, he thought that it was very inappropriate for him to do this and immediately coughed twice, putting on a serious expression.
"Little brat, you're still pretending to be serious."
Evan looked at the serious Mystogan beside her and smiled, then said no more.
"Evan..."
Just as Evan looked at the obviously young Mystogan who was pretending to be serious, and felt that it was funny, along with the sound of walking, a woman with long, shining golden hair gently coiled up, wearing a luxurious and beautiful dress, every frown and smile, a woman who was full of riches, stepped on beautiful high heels, and walked towards Evan, softly chanting her name.
"Lady Layla..."
Evan looked at the woman in front of him who would dress up meticulously and magnificently even in her own home. She immediately stood up from her seat and greeted the woman in front of her with a slight bow.
"... "
Of course, Mystogan was very observant. When Evan stood up and greeted the beautiful woman, he knew that the Lady was here. So, he imitated Evan and stood up from his seat. He bowed slightly, expressing his respect for Layla.
"Evan, we haven't seen each other for a year, right?"
Layla tidied up her skirt, then sat down opposite Evan and looked at her with a smile.
"That's true. The last time we met should be the day you opened the Eclipse Gate."
Seeing Layla sit down, Evan also sat down gently. At the same time, she smiled and answered the question of Layla.
"I remember that day. After saying goodbye to ancestor Anna, I suddenly couldn't find any trace of you. I don't know where you went..."
Layla recalled what had happened that day and looked at Evan as she asked casually.
"After that, I talked to Senior Anna alone about something related to Senior Anna. After coming to this time, there is a need to investigate. After all, Senior Anna is four hundred years away from this time. After four hundred years, a lot of common knowledge and information have fallen behind. I need to update these in time..."
"It's just that those things have nothing to do with Heartfilia Family. When you opened the Eclipse Gate and let senior Anna and the five children come to this era full of magic, like shackles, the shackles that have been trapped in Heartfilia Family for four hundred years have been broken! The long-cherished wish of Heartfilia Family has been fulfilled..."
"Senior Anna and I also don't want to let the Heartfilia Family continue to bear this huge responsibility. We don't want to talk about it in front of you. I hope you can forgive us."
Evan told everything she had done that night truthfully to Layla. As for what he and Anna talked about after that, she didn't say it clearly. But presumably, after his hint, Layla should understand.
"I know..."
Layla put away her curiosity. She knew that the more things she knew, the worse it would be. Since her ancestor Anna didn't want Heartfilia Family to be involved in this huge vortex that crossed four hundred years, then she didn't ask anymore. However, Layla believed that one day Anna would confess to her.
"Thank you for your understanding."
Evan was still very polite.
"... "
On the other side, Mystogan, who was listening to the conversation between Evan and Layla, had a shocked expression. A human had crossed four hundred years and completed a time travel
Initially, when Mystogan thought that the world he was in had created a world that could travel across worlds, he was already very powerful...
However, after Mystogan heard Evan's words and confirmed that some people had started to travel across time, his expression was no longer one of shock.
Mystogan originally thought that although their world's magic power was inferior to that of this world, their technology was stronger. However, when Mystogan heard that Layla and Evan were chatting as if they were family, he could not sit still...
It turned out that he had always underestimated this world. The mage technology of this world far surpassed his imagination and understanding.
"This..."
At the thought of this, Mystogan began to hesitate. He was thinking, even if he did not stop it, could his father really succeed? Could he really transport all the magic power?
Would he transfer the God of Plagues who destroyed the world to his own world at the same time as he transferred the magic power?
As he thought of this, he dared not think about it anymore...
"Sigh..."
Mystogan sighed helplessly. If he had known that the abyss of this world was unfathomable, even if he could not persuade his father to stop plundering the magic of the other world, he should have let his father think about it and not plunder the magic of the World of Edolas. Speaking of which, if not for that world where such a terrifying person lived, it was clear that the World of Edolas was more suitable. The world where they used their souls to plunder magic power...
Moreover, according toEvan's calculation, if they used the Celestial Spirit Magic properly, they could clearly keep the magic power of Edolas in a balance. What a pity...
"Sigh..."
Layla sighed softly and then looked at the secret guard beside Evan.
"By the way, Evan, who is this child? You haven't introduced him to me yet..."
Layla raised her head and looked at the secret guard beside Evan. She smiled and asked.
"By the way, senior Layla, I was about to introduce you..."
"This is called Mystogan. He is the prince of the human empire in the other world, World of Edolas. At the same time, it is also the reason why I came to visit you today."
After listening to Layla's words, Evan smiled and began to introduce Mystogan beside her.
"The prince of the other world?"
"I am really sorry for my lack of manners. Layla Heartfilia has seen the prince."
When Layla heard this, she was stunned. She immediately stood up and gave a slight salute to Mystogan.
"No, eh, that..."
"I was rude. My name is Jellal, because there is someone in this world who is also called Jellal like me, so you can just call me Mystogan..."
Mystogan stood up and bowed slightly to Layla.
"So, Evan and the prince of another world, I wonder why you came to find me this time?"
Layla had probably guessed a bit, but she still wanted Evan to say it herself. After all, if she guessed wrong, it would be too embarrassing.
"Because the world where Mystogan is located is not the world under our feet, so I hope Lady Layla can ask the Celestial Spirit King to allow me and Mystogan to visit the two worlds through the Celestial Spirit Realm."
Evan told Layla his needs.
"Oh? This is not an easy thing to do..."
When Layla heard what Evan said, her big bright eyes immediately blinked.
"Yes..."
"Of course I know."
"In fact, there is a reason for me to do this."
"Lady Layla is actually related to the survival of our two worlds..."
Evan, Layla, and Mystogan sat back in their seats and spoke slowly.
"But I heard the details..."
Layla's beautiful golden brows slightly creased. Although she had already planned to help Evan when Evan requested her help, after all, she still remembered how Evan had helped their Heartfilia Family back then. She still remembered Evan's efforts, but she still planned to listen to Evan's reason. After all, it was not easy to ask the Celestial Spirit King to borrow the path from the Celestial Spirit Realm.
In fact, in the world where Mystogan was located, the magic power of the World of Edolas was almost exhausted. In order to ensure that their world could have infinite magic power, Mystogan's father, the king of the human empire, decided to use the space magic soul to seize magic power from other worlds, and Mystogan's father intended to seize the magic power from the world where we were located...
"In other words, if we want to stop it, Mystogan's father will let our world be free from the interference of other worlds. We can only go to the world where Mystogan is located and destroy the device that his father used to seize magic power from other worlds..."
"Once this device is destroyed, the magic power of the entire world will gradually disappear, and if I want to come back, I need to find another way. That's why I thought that through this transit station in the Celestial Spirit Realm, we can travel back and forth between two worlds..."
In fact, Evan had other ways to return from the World of Edolas, such as turning the soul and sending all of Edolas' magic power to this world. He could also come back with this magic power.
However, Evan planned to use the opportunity to save the other world to verify if they could freely go to the world they wanted to go through the Celestial Spirit Realm...
This was a rare opportunity. If he missed this opportunity, he did not know if Evan still had a chance to verify his guess.
Therefore, he brought Mystogan to look for Layla. Perhaps the current Mystogan had not thought of a way to turn the soul back yet
