When Reina came back to her senses, she found herself in an uninhabited stone ruin. It looked like a castle, but it had been abandoned for a long time. Moss and vines grew everywhere.
She guessed that this was a trace of human civilization. The architectural style here seemed to be built by humans. The other demons' buildings were not so detailed, and the elves did not often use stone bricks to build their houses. Just as she suspected that this was not the real world, a light attracted her attention. It looked like a hall, but there was a hole in the roof, which was almost covered by leaves. There was a large tree with entwined roots in the middle of the building. It was attached to the castle and blended in well with it. There were many bird nests on the tree, and she could hear the chirping of birds.
Reina walked into the hall and saw some embers. Just as she realized that someone had been here, she suddenly looked up at the hole above her head. She sensed something. She jumped up and stepped on the protruding bricks and tree roots on the wall. She quickly climbed up and reached the roof. The scenery here was very beautiful. Under an ancient tree, there was a small tree table. It was conjured with magic.
A black figure suddenly appeared behind her. She abruptly turned around and threw a punch at the other party, but her fist was easily blocked.
"Master?"
When she saw the other party's face, she realized that it was Richard in black. He was smiling at her.
"No, to be precise, it's me, Lin Chade."
Hearing this, Reina was shocked. She had never seen Lin Chade's appearance, but now that she saw him, he looked exactly like her master.
"My real identity is Richard's clone. Before our connection was cut off, we were the same person. To you, I am the him before we parted."
"Then why didn't you tell me! Why! Do you know how hard I've been looking for you? I... I miss you, Master. "
Lin Chade had already expected Reina to break down and cry. He patted Reina's head and said, "I'm sorry for what I've done, but I can only think of one reason for doing this."
"What's the reason?"
Reina wanted to know why her master had abandoned her. This was a knot in her heart.
Lin Chade sighed and said sadly, "Just like you, Reina, I also have a master."
As he spoke, he came before the wooden table. The roots on the ground suddenly moved. They intertwined and turned into two chairs. Lin Chade sat on them as if he was about to have a long talk.
"Do you want to know my story?"
He asked.
Reina stood rooted to the ground and stared blankly at Lin Chade. No one knew what she was thinking until she asked, "This won't be the last time we'll see each other, will it?"
Lin Chade smiled bitterly and an apologetic smile appeared on his face. Reina felt a bitter taste in her mouth. She recalled the last time she parted ways with her master. It was the same illusion. However, she threw a tantrum in a fit of pique, trying to persuade her master to stay. Later on, she felt very regretful. She had many things to say to her master and many questions to ask him. When she calmed down, there was no turning back. All that was left was regret in her heart.
"Then can you at least tell me how long this dream will last?"
"This is a world I created using the place of the outer fringe. You can stay here for as long as you want."
The other party replied.
"Then can I stay here forever?"
"No."
Lin Chade shook his head and said, "You can't stay here forever. You don't belong to this world, and I'm not your real master. All of this is just an illusion to you."
Reina sat down gloomily. This time, she was quiet and did not throw a tantrum or make a fuss.
She looked at the table and asked anxiously, "Why doesn't Master talk about his own story?"
"Because there's nothing to talk about. It's just some boring past. Moreover, it's a painful past. However, after living for so long, those memories unknowingly become treasures in our hearts. "
As he spoke, he looked at Reina. He thought to himself, When I first met Reina, she was just a dirty little girl. In the blink of an eye, she has grown up. The lifespan of a human was very short. Soon, she would slowly grow old.
"I also have a master. Our experiences are actually very similar to yours..."
Lin Chade recounted his tragic childhood and how he was saved by a human master. In the end, that human master disappeared from his world. Hearing this, Reina thought to herself, 'Isn't this the same as my experience?' She seemed to understand why the Demon King's master would save the weak her. Perhaps it was because he saw his past self in her.
At this moment, Reina could not help but envy that master's master. She also wanted to meet her master. However, so much time had passed. Could her master still find her?
This question stayed in Reina's heart.
"Why are you telling me these things? Isn't this a secret between you two?"
"Just treat it as the clone's revenge on the main body. If you want to know, I can tell you how to defeat me and my weakness. Ask away. Whatever you want to know, as long as I can answer, I will answer you one by one. "
Hearing this, Reina could not help but smile. She did not want to defeat her master, but... this seemed quite interesting.
However, she did not ask for an answer.
"Then can you tell me how I can find him?"
"I don't know where the main body went, so I can't answer your question."
Lin Chade replied. Reina was somewhat disappointed.
"However, since you can summon me, it means that you and I have a special connection. Perhaps you can get the answer from it."
As expected!
Reina suddenly had some hope. This was just as she thought.
Then, the next question was...
"I want to avenge my parents before I find you. Master, can you tell me what I can do to become as powerful as you?"
She asked.
Lin Chade clasped his hands together. He pondered seriously for a while and said, "Then I want to ask you a question. What do you think makes me powerful?"
"You have a lot of powerful spells and powerful magical powers."
"No, I don't think I'm powerful because of how many powerful spells and magical powers I have, but because of my understanding of magic and mastery of my own strength. Reina, you have a lot of power in you. From the color of your magical powers, I can tell that you rely on them a lot. However, if you want to become powerful, you must first figure out your own strength and make yourself stronger. Otherwise, no matter how much power you have, you will only be a fake powerhouse who is strong on the outside but weak on the inside. "
"However, if the person you want to defeat is Rockefeller, I can give you some advice..."
Hearing this, Reina widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief. She asked, "How do you know him?"
