Chapter 118: Old dream

　　 Before waking up, Willett had an unusually long dream.
　　 This is a dream about her past.
　　 The girl used to be a member of the Edwardian family, a family of wizards known as the "Angel Family" and famous for their spirits.
　　 Of course, she did not inherit the spiritism of the Edwardian family from the beginning, but was just a baby born in a branch of the family.
　　 That is a remote city, a small noble family who never owned a fief in their ancestors. Nevertheless, the girl's life is already superior to ordinary civilians, and there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
　　 In the new generation born in this branch of the family, Villette, like every child, has undergone magic testing at the beginning of his birth and is determined to be the one who has the most talent to become a wizard. As a result, the girl was placed high hopes by her family since she was a child.
The reason is a tradition that has existed since the birth of the Edwardian family: every once in a while, the elders of the ruling family will send invitations to each branch family, asking them to be under the age of twelve and the most qualified The members were sent to the main line of the family located in the Luoxia Mountains.
　　 This group of selected children are candidates for the new generation of core race members. After a period of training and learning, as long as they can persist and accept the final "inheritance ceremony", they can formally become a member of the main line.
　　 Like the other crown families that have almost ruled the wizarding world of the Maya continent, the main line members of the Edward family all stand out after numerous selections and grow up as young wizards called "genius". They have great power in the family, and the division of the family will benefit a lot from this.
However, despite the inheritance relationship mainly maintained by blood and family, the wizard family and ordinary nobles are ultimately different: the members of the main line will be selected equally in all branches, and even the unexpected world will absorb members. , Continuously absorb fresh blood to maintain its due vitality.
　　 If you stay on your own feet, protect each other with relatives, and allow status to be passed unconditionally between family members, the honorable blood of the Crown family will one day be covered in dust over time and be eliminated by the times.
　　Taking history as a mirror, the wizards are very clear about this, and the senior leaders of the Edward family are sensible and sober enough to not make such mistakes.
This is naturally a good thing for members of a relatively low profile family, which means that everyone has a chance to climb up; but at the same time, because it is relatively fair, the competition between children will change. It's extremely fierce - especially what all the members have experienced after they get together: they are still young and they will face rounds of cruel elimination, and there will be no one in ten who can eventually stay and get the qualification for inheritance.
　　 The so-called "inheritance" is the source of the special magic that the Edward family members rely on to become famous.
　　They use spiritism to summon powerful and intelligent spirit bodies from the spirit world and attach them to themselves. This process is called "spiritual rites" and does not require the host to master any psychic domain abilities.
　　 In this way, no matter what field they choose to study, the wizards of this family will have a powerful companion and assistant to grow up with them. Although human beings and spirits are separated from reality and reality, their relationship is closer than relatives, friends, and lovers.
　　 Compared with ordinary psychic wizards, the psychic skills of the "Angel Family" have unique secrets, making the connection based on the ordinary contract deeper...
Of course, the following is the content that ordinary outsiders cannot know. What circulates is only a few rumors: it is said that members of the Edward family can fully integrate their body and soul with the spirit body after the advent; even further, Let the contracted spirit get the flesh like a human —
　　 This undoubtedly violated the taboo of the mysterious world, and ordinary wizards might not even think about it.
　　……
　　 These are scattered fragments that she only vaguely heard of later. As a child, Willett knew nothing about all this.
But the witch remembers clearly that she did not want to leave her family at that time, she did not expect to be a member of the "main line", nor did she want to become a so-called powerful psychic wizard. She felt that life in her original family was very good. Warm and at ease.
　　 However, everyone around the girl is encouraging her, and her relatives and elders have deep and ardent expectations for her... Willett doesn't want to disappoint them, nothing more.
　　 So at the age of twelve, a witch who was just a child finally embarked on a journey to the Luoxia Mountains.
　　 As I said before, Villette has been known as a "child prodigy" in her family and the wizarding academy in the city where she once lived. She is far better than her peers.
　　 But this excellence and self-confidence was eclipsed by the group of talents who also came from all over the world and were carefully selected by dozens of divisions.
　　 It turns out that she is not really outstanding. Compared with real genius, she is actually mediocre. Among the dozens of candidates for successor, Wellet's qualifications can only be considered inferior. She had always lived in remote places in the past, which gave her the illusion that she was only a frog in the bottom of the well.
　　 If this continues, the girl may soon be eliminated.
　　 At that time, Villette was just a child. He hadn't suffered too much since childhood, and his willpower was far from firm. When she lived alone thousands of miles away from her hometown and had to endure extremely hard training courses every day, she couldn't find anyone to talk to her, and she could only cry in the dark when she held her captain in the dark.
　　 But, once I think of the faces of the family, and the look they look forward to when they send themselves away... For some reason, she always clenches her teeth every time she gives up.
　　If the initial talent is not good enough, spend ten times and one hundred times more time and energy than others, so that the talent will blossom and bear fruit one day
　　Yes~EbookFREE.me~ Similar to the life in the Green School, Wellet has actually not experienced it for the first time.
　　 And just like her who won the victory in the wizard duel to elect the chief student, the girl at the time was also incredible and miraculously persisting to the end...
　　Villette thought it would end here. Even if you will encounter more difficult and painful things in the future, that is what you need to consider when you grow up. Now she just needs to enjoy the fruits of victory that she finally picked after years of bitter time.
　　 But, perhaps God has never cared for this girl-an accident happened.
　　 An accident that no one expected, including herself, her teachers, and her peers.
　　 At the last step of the advent ceremony, the process of possessing the body that should have been foolproof, but there was a change that was rare in a century. An unknown spirit body showed signs of running away after it came to reality, involving everyone...
　　 At that time, the memory is very vague, as unreal as the reflection rippling on the water. At the end of the dream, Willett saw herself wrapped in flames.
　　 That is the flame of burning everything, like a of red lotus.
　　 And in the endless flames, she seemed to see a fuzzy silhouette.
　　 She also heard a voice, a shout from the depths of the sea of ​​fire.
　　 Someone asked in her ear--
　　 "Everything comes from fire, and where did the first fire in the world come from?"
　　……
　　 "Ha...Ha...!"
　　The blond girl lying on the bed suddenly opened her eyes, panting, her white forehead was covered with cold sweat,
　　 She woke up.
