After hearing Devena's explanation, Countess West Green Jade's worries not only did not calm down, but intensified a lot, because she had seen similar things from those cultists more than once in the past, and she was convinced of her own illusions.

Be real, and do what the hallucination tells you to do, etc.

"Investigate immediately. Who has the lady come into contact with in recent years?" the countess immediately ordered her accompanying clerk not far away.

The clerks didn't understand the purpose of the countess's order, but they didn't say anything more. They responded and left to do their work.

Although Devena, who was sitting on the couch, had not handled any affairs with her mother, she was very smart and quickly guessed what the countess was thinking from the orders given by her.

She also felt a little dumbfounded by this. She never thought that she would still be misunderstood by her mother if she told the truth, but she didn't know how to prove her words, because in her memory, she was the only one who could be her friend.

I feel that no one else can feel the trace of my friend's existence even if they are right next to me. Just like now, it is clear that there are my friends and another new friend in the pavilion, but my mother and those outside the pavilion do not.

Know they are here.

"You all, please step aside! My mother and I have something private to say." Although she knew that no matter how hard she explained without evidence, it would be useless, Devena still wanted to explain it to the Countess. After all,

This matter is related to whether her body can be treated.

The Countess could guess that her daughter was trying to convince her to believe in her hallucination, but she was convinced that she could not change her mind, but she could not bear to not give her daughter a chance, so she waved at the people outside the pavilion.

He waved his hand and told them to disperse and leave, leaving only the Emerald Knight who was used to protect them to take over the protection work of the surrounding villa guards.

After the outsiders left, Devena asked the countess to sit next to her, and then told her very seriously how she came into contact with the dryad Rutaxi, how she became friends, and how the dryad Rutaxi had helped her relieve her physical pain over the years, etc.

Wait until the matter is explained in detail.

At first, the countess was not convinced by what Devena said. In her opinion, everything Devena said was just her own hallucination. Even if this hallucination had nothing to do with the cultists, it was probably due to physical illness.

What kind of mental problems did it cause? As a countess who once received a scholar's degree in the academic city,

Cases of such mental problems causing hallucinations have been recorded in similar research disciplines in the academic city, and there are a lot of them. Even if she is not a person who specializes in studying such subjects, she has heard of similar things more or less, so she

When I just heard Devena's autobiography, I subconsciously connected Devena with the patients in those cases.

At this moment, the countess felt as if she was being grabbed by someone. She also blamed herself for only focusing on controlling the power of the West Green Jade these years, while neglecting her daughter's health. She also secretly swore in her heart that

, I must take my daughter with me from now on, and not let her stay alone in this forest villa.

However, all these sad emotions gradually weakened and even changed as the content of Devena's narration continued to increase. The countess' inner thoughts also changed. She initially believed that Devena was hallucinating.

, Now I have gradually begun to believe that what Devena said may be true. The friends Devena mentioned are not illusions, but real.

The reason why the Countess's thoughts changed like this is entirely because the past experiences described by Devena were too detailed, and all kinds of details could be told as if they were treasures. There were even several times when the Countess deliberately interrupted to express her previous experience.

If she didn't hear something clearly, Devena could still recount it again. This was obviously completely different from the hallucinations caused by the evil power images of the cultists known to the Countess, or the hallucinations caused by the patients' imagination.

Because whether it is the hallucinations of cultists or the delusional hallucinations of patients, they all have one thing in common, that is, the hallucinations in their minds are disordered and chaotic. It is impossible to be organized and repeatable like Devena.

Retell it again, and explain it in detail every time. If you don't experience it personally, your memory will never be able to achieve such detail.

"Listen first." After the countess gradually changed her mind, she suddenly interrupted Devena's narration, and then asked her daughter very seriously: "Does the friend you mentioned really exist?"

"Yes, mother! It's real, not an illusion." Sensing that her mother's mind seemed to have changed, Devena was also happy. She nodded vigorously and replied.

"Are they here now?" asked the Countess again.

"It's right here, it's always been here." Devena responded immediately, then pointed to the location of the tree demon Luta Xi, and said: "The little tree is right there." Then she pointed to Leo and said

: "There are also new friends here who followed Xiao Shu." As she said that, she suddenly remembered something and said to Leo, "By the way, I don't know your name yet."

"Leo Dodd." Leo, who had always been a quiet bystander with the tree demon Lutaxi, answered Devena's question, but this time he did not directly pass the answer to Devina through the ability of the spiritual network.

In Wen Na's mind, she answered like a normal person.

Leo's answer was not only heard by Devena, but also the countess in the pavilion. The look on her face became a little flustered. She was obviously frightened by Leo. She never expected that nothing would happen.

There is an invisible person inside the pavilion, which is very dangerous for mother and daughter.

However, the panic in her heart soon calmed down. The reason why she calmed down so quickly was not just because Devena just said that the person hidden in the pavilion was her friend, but more importantly, she also realized that

If the invisible person really wants to do something to their mother and daughter, there is no need to expose them out loud. If they act in secret, their mother and daughter have no ability to resist.

On the other side, Devena was also frightened by Leo, because before, Leo's words were directly transmitted to her through some kind of ability, although this method was also different from the way the tree demon Rutaxi communicated with her.

But this is still within the scope of her common sense, that is, the dryads Rutaxi and Leo are special existences in this world, and cannot be seen by others, nor can they speak in a normal way, etc.

But now Leo suddenly spoke, and the language he spoke was a language she could understand. It was not a conceptual idea. She even felt the emotional fluctuations of her mother beside her, which represented her mother.

She could also hear Leo talking, which was completely different from the previous contact with the tree demon Rutaxi, which made her not know what to do for a while.

The emotional changes of the mother and daughter in front of him were completely seen by Leo. He could also guess what the two were thinking now, so he took the initiative to explain: "You don't need to think too much, the situation between me and the tree demon is different. I am

Among the humans in this world, she is a special existence between reality and shadow. Apart from me, maybe you are the only one in this world who can sense her existence, Miss Devena."

"Are you a human in this world? Mr. Leo." Devena calmed down a little after hearing Leo's words. Then she couldn't help but asked, "Then why can I see

to you, but my mother cannot?"

"It's very simple." Leo continued to explain: "Because I am now using a method to make myself invisible. You can think of this as a state similar to that of a tree demon, so ordinary people cannot see me. As for you

Why you can see it is actually very simple, because I imitated your own power, and all you see is your own power. If I stop imitating it, you won't be able to see it."

As he spoke, Leo dispelled the witch's power that he had imitated from Devena, and Leo's light human form quickly disappeared in Devena's eyes.

At this time, what Devena thought about was not how Leo did this, but what Leo said before that he could heal himself. In her opinion, since Leo could imitate the inside of her body,

If you have the power, then you must know your physical condition very well, so treating her is not just talking nonsense.

Just when Devena was about to ask Leo about treating herself, the Countess on the side suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and asked towards the place where Leo's voice came from, "Who are you?"

Mr. Leo Dodd?"

Although this question had no beginning or end, Leo still understood what the countess meant, because when he saw the information related to the Countess of West Green Jade, he discovered that the countess actually studied in the Academic City for a period of time, and also received

Having obtained a scholar's degree, the countess had only one direction of inquiry.

"Yes." Leo admitted truthfully.

After receiving the answer, the countess' face immediately showed a very obvious look of reverence.

Having studied in the Academic City, she is very aware of how knowledgeable and capable the scholars in the Academic City are, so she has always consciously recruited scholars or students from the Academic City. She opened a business in West Green Emerald imitating the Academic City.

Colleges like these are meant to place these talents, so she has always paid special attention to some trends in the Academic City. For this reason, she specially established a special department in the book town under the Academic City, just to deliver and academic information as soon as possible.

News about the city.

Leo is known as the incarnation of the spirit of knowledge and is recognized as the wisest person in the academic city. The news related to him is naturally a top priority, but in the view of the countess, a wise man like Leo is

It was absolutely impossible for him to appear in this chaotic place in the Middle Kingdom, so she just read the news once, remembered Leo, and didn't think much about anything else after that.

However, now the legendary wise man actually appeared in her daughter's villa, and seemed to have become friends with her daughter. This made her feel for a moment whether she was dreaming, which also caused her to

Even though she thought it was impossible for Leo to lie to her, she still felt a little uncertain.

I don’t know whether Leo was trying to reassure the other party, or whether he had already planned to show his body, but he gradually exited the invisibility state and appeared in the pavilion in front of the Countess.

The Emerald Knights who were in charge of security outside the pavilion were always paying attention to the situation in and around the pavilion. The moment Leo appeared in the pavilion, they also discovered it immediately, although they did not understand how Leo appeared there.

But the instinct of duty made them run towards the pavilion in unison, intending to protect the countess and young lady in the pavilion.

Looking at the Emerald Knight coming from all around, Leo did not stop him, but looked at the countess calmly to see how she would choose, whether to believe his words and maintain due etiquette, or to take him down first.

Say it again.

At this moment, the countess suddenly raised her hand and made a gesture. When the Emerald Knight who was rushing to protect saw the gesture, he stopped involuntarily, then hesitated for a moment, then turned around and returned to the place where he was previously guarding.

.

Seeing the countess' actions and the reaction of the Emerald Knights, Leo couldn't help but re-examine the countess in front of him.

Although the countess is not a supernatural person, and her ability may not be as powerful as Sylvia, judging from her ability to control the accompanying Emerald Knights, it is obvious that her control over her subordinates is definitely not weaker than Sylvia

Ah, and then thinking about the control of political power, military power and financial power in the West Green Jade Region mentioned in the other party's information, Leo also had to admit that the countess' political skills and abilities were definitely the best in the world.

It's a pity that the countess was obviously restricted to the small area of ​​West Green Emerald Area due to her status. Otherwise, with her ability, she should be able to make great achievements in any large country.

While Leo was sizing up the countess, the countess was also sizing up Leo who suddenly appeared in the pavilion.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she knew that when she first saw Leo, she was a little disappointed, because Leo's image was very different from the wise man in her mind. Not only was Leo not the kind with white hair and beard,

The image of an old man whose wisdom is written in his wrinkles is actually a looker

She was a middle-aged man who looked very ordinary. She was sure that if she saw him not here but somewhere else, such as on a street, she would never take another look at him because his appearance was too ordinary.

He's so ordinary that people can't help but ignore him.

However, after she adjusted her mentality and re-examined Leo in front of her, she gradually felt some inexplicable and unknown weird qualities about Leo. For example, he was clearly in front of her, but there was always a feeling in her heart.

It feels like the other person is not in the same world as you at all.
