To the little robin, everything it saw about Alice was an incredible miracle.

It opened its eyes from ignorance and was reborn due to the spiritual enlightenment she gave casually.

The sky is still the same sky, and the flowers and grass are still the same as before, but for the first time it recognizes "self", breaks away from the instinct based on survival, and has its own thinking.

Although she is immature and does not understand much about the world, the little robin believes that as long as she stays by her side, she will be able to see completely different scenery——

It squatted on the girl's shoulder, glanced around the surroundings with dull eyes, and chirped like a song.

"Alice, Alice, if I'm not mistaken, this is the sewer, where the dirtiest and smelliest things gather, but you said you wanted me to transform..."

Alice, who was dressed in a white shirt and a black knee-length skirt, only glanced at it and continued to walk towards the deep space in front of the passage. The cowhide short boots with small high heels hit the cold, cold and dirty stone pavement, making a not-so-clear sound.

The void echoes.

"Of course it's impossible to hold a ceremony in a place like this. We're going to the outskirts, to a place far away from people, to avoid trouble... Well, we should be almost here."

She stopped, placed the kerosene lamp she was holding on the ground, then poured out the mixed powder she had prepared earlier from the material bag she carried with her, and sketched a simple oval pattern on the ground.

Then, using the spell-casting materials combined with the spells and spell-casting gestures, a loud noise as violent as thunder suddenly sounded in the dank and dark sewer, which could almost deafen people.

At the same time, a dark and deep gap was torn out in front of the originally empty space, which opened like an irregular door, accompanied by a low humming sound.

"Let's go. Well... this is a teleportation spell. Apart from being too noisy and the casting process taking too long, there are no obvious shortcomings. So that's why we come here, deep in the sewers where even homeless people don't want to go."

Seeing the little guy sitting on her shoulder with its beak open and its small mung bean eyes spinning, Alice raised her fingers and rubbed its soft head like a stuffed toy, and gave a simple explanation to comfort it.

Of course, she herself didn't want to stay in such a stinky place for too long. She turned around and picked up the kerosene lamp that she had placed on the ground before stepping into the entrance of the teleportation channel in front of her, carrying Xiao Zhi who was holding the shirt tightly on her shoulders.

The bird flew across tens of thousands of meters in an instant.

The teleportation channel like a crack in space slowly closed behind her, and Alice's figure appeared in front of a two-story residential house.

It was almost pitch black all around, and the brilliance of the crimson moon was shrouded in clouds. There were no lights or human sounds, only the loud chirping of insects in the trees.

The girl walked straight towards the main entrance of the mansion, while the little robin sitting on her shoulder had forgotten its fear and turned its head to observe the surrounding situation.

It flapped its wings and soared into the air, flying around the courtyard surrounded by iron bars. Then it stopped next to the girl who unlocked the door with a spell in front of the house and sang a noisy song.

"Alice, Alice, Alice, who lives in the wilderness with no neighbors, has to open the door by herself when she comes home, and is greeted by a cold living room. So pitiful, so pitiful!"

"...Okay, don't make any noise." She took a breath, too lazy to explain anything to this child-like little guy. The moment she opened the door, bright lights came on, combining the exquisite and gorgeous furniture in the room with

The decoration reflects beautifully.

"It's a pity that all the spell effects related to creating magic servants have been cancelled..." Alice sighed softly, and closed the door after the little robin followed her into the house, causing the invisibility effect of the magic mansion to be activated.

, disappearing like a phantom in the empty suburbs.

Accompanied by the lyrics of the tune made up by the little bird, she randomly selected an empty room, placed a crystal clear core crystal in the center, and immediately took out a mixture of gemstone ground powder and Hoshimi flower extract.

materials and started drawing the ritual circle.

"Just in time, I'll set up the ceremony venue first and explain some knowledge about familiars to you."

Holding a special pen for the ceremony in one hand, Alice drew a standard perfect circle on the central floor. Alice tried her best to choose simple and easy-to-understand words and descriptions, and explained the instructions to the little robin who turned his head to observe her movements.

Becoming a familiar means changing the original existence form of life into a concept created by mystery.

After the familiar contract ceremony is completed, this ordinary bird will be fused with the special crystal core provided by her, ushering in a new beginning.

It will randomly obtain one or two of Alice's natural abilities, as well as two to three designated languages' listening, speaking, reading and writing knowledge. Its intelligence will be greatly improved to the normal adult level, and it can perform tasks through the contract with Alice.

Telephone calls, etc.

At the same time, it will also lose the concept of lifespan. As long as Alice, as the master of the familiar, provides it with mana, and as long as the crystal core is not completely destroyed, it will not die even if it suffers fatal damage.

Under normal circumstances, it should also receive the gift of spellcasting ability, but the ritual Alice planned to perform this time obviously cannot be classified as "normal".

"In order to ensure that you take the extraordinary potion and successfully master its power, the familiar contract between us will begin after you take the potion. Because the life in the familiar state is already mysterious and extraordinary.

The field is completely unable to absorb the extraordinary elements contained in the potion..."

As she spoke, Alice had completed the drawing of the ritual circle. The silvery-white lines that shone like stars converged and gathered at just the right place. Each stroke and every stroke seemed to contain wisdom and secrets that were difficult to put into words.

"Well, there are many benefits to performing the ritual after you take the potion. First, I can dedicate part of my spiritual power to help you guide the mystery in the potion; second, your body and mental structure may be affected by the potion.

Influence, certain changes will occur. Based on this change, your demonization will also have a tendency to have potion properties, and further changes will surely occur when you take subsequent potions in the sequence; third, you can explore the behind the 'acting method'

Question; four..."

It was rare for her to put aside her usual composure, which rarely had violent emotional ups and downs, and she became excited about her genius idea. Her speech speed gradually increased, and her words began to become incomprehensible. She talked about theories and conjectures that no one could understand.

.

The little robin was confused by what she heard, her small mung bean eyes staring at a certain rune on the floor, and finally interrupted her with a sharp question:

"So, Alice, what do I do?"

"...Well, wait a minute." The girl came back to her senses, coughed slightly and walked back to the center of the circle. She took out several card-sized things from the storage space that had been prepared, and placed them around the eight central circles.

She unfolded and placed them one by one in each direction, and at the same time, it perfectly matched the pattern of the magic circle she drew on the floor.

"First, choose the sequence potion you want to take."

Out of her personal sense of aesthetic and obsessive ritual, Alice specially made several potion cards representing the beginnings of different sequences for today. At this time, she introduced them in the order of the orientation of the magic circle.

"Hunter", "Assassin", "Soothsayer", "Sleepless One", "Peeper of Secrets", "Learner", "Apprentice", "Stealer".

This is the magic potion formula that Alice has collected through various means so far, and is the starting point of the sequence. Among them, the contributions of the three major righteous churches are the most touching. They have provided information on seven sequences. Unfortunately, such as "Sailor" and "Corpse Collector"

The role of "human" is obviously not suitable for a bird to complete, so she can only kick them out of the options with regret.

After briefly introducing the abilities that can be obtained by taking each potion, Alice once again stated her considerations for a reasonable performance - to ensure that the little robin in front of her could understand what she said, she even temporarily gave it a boost.

Magic scroll of intelligence.

The little guy who seemed to have become a little smarter quickly revealed his choice:

"Which potion did Alice drink? I also want to be like Alice, knowing everything and knowing everything. I want to choose the same potion as Alice!"

"——Well, if someone asks you which path I came from, you can answer 'Assassin' or 'Witch'. But I don't recommend you choose this potion for the same reason as I just said.

...The role of 'assassin' must be accompanied by the act of assassination, killing more than one or two people." Alice said thoughtfully, "If you think about it from the perspective of performance, I think 'Sleepless Man', as the initial sequence, plays

The difficulty level is relatively simple, and you can probably just reduce the sleep time... Well, it seems, this is a bit too simple, right? Maybe there are other hidden conditions?"

The little robin jumped back and forth a few times on the silver-white patterned floor, and after a while it chirped slightly:

"Killing people... I'm just a robin. I definitely can't kill anyone... This sleep-depriving potion sounds so cruel. It doesn't let the bird sleep. It's so cruel..."

Among the other choices, the hunter sounds scary and frightens it; the diviner seems good, but it only has two claws and cannot perform some actions that are simple for humans; the secret peeper,

The generals and apprentices are the same as the diviners...

The little robin's eyes drifted to the last option.

The card that represents "The Thief".

…

"Okay, this is the end of the thinking ability assessment session. You performed pretty well." Alice read without any expression, and put away all the other cards with pictures of hunters, assassins, etc., leaving only her hand to explore.

The thief pattern that goes into other people's pockets, "If you are too stupid to make this simple choice, then I can only find a smarter and more clever familiar alternative."

"Alice, Alice, evil Alice!"

She pretended not to hear the call of the little robin, and tapped the thief's card with her index finger, causing it to deform and return to the shape of the box. Then she opened the lid of the box, revealing the spiritual materials stored inside.

Then, she walked to the center of the magic circle, squatted down and touched the translucent crystal core, silently recited a spell to twist its shape into a cauldron-like vessel, and then directed her future demon path:

"You put the materials in here and I'll watch from the side."

And when he pushed all the materials with all his strength and threw them into the vessel after the deformation of the crystal core, the little robin, which was only twenty centimeters long, looked down at the pot of sticky and pitted liquid, and suddenly fell into silence.

This pool of potion looks like it can burst its stomach...

"Okay, just don't move."

Alice knew that it was up to her to run the next process.

She replaced the deformation effect of the crystal core with a hollow sphere wrapped in the potion, then reached out to touch the body of the little robin, used the Gigantization Technique to increase its size to eight times its original size, and then knocked open the

He opened his huge beak and threw the crystal core wrapped in the magic potion straight in.

However, the hollow sphere, which was the size of a fist, was easily swallowed by the robin, which was more than one and a half meters long at the moment and looked like a large raptor.

"Get ready, I'm going to remove the deformation effect of the crystal core..."

The little robin, which had just grown in size, was waiting for her to recite the three-two-one countdown, but suddenly she felt an obscure and cold chill coming from her belly, which almost instantly spread to her whole body like a reptile.

It felt that its vision became blurred and its thoughts began to wander, as if it had returned to the period of ignorance and chaos before its spiritual wisdom was awakened.

Gradually, it seemed to be aware of something, broke away from the confusion, and re-recognized its own location. Then the spirit body suddenly became heavier and sank, becoming one with the body in reality again, returning to a complete whole.

But something has changed.

It heard a voice in its head whispering something repeatedly. Although it didn't know its meaning, this voice that seemed to resound in its mind made it feel extremely irritated and uneasy, and its head began to feel a strong tingling pain.

In its distorted and blurred vision, it saw crystal warm silver-white light blooming from its own body and from the magnificent magic circle surrounding it.

The majestic and mighty power came to the body, almost instantly restraining the overflowing effects of the potions that were flowing out of control in the body.

Just as it was about to relax, it forgot that there was another baptism waiting for it.
To be continued...
