Seeing Sifney standing at the door, Liyami looked as if she had spotted her savior.
She urgently signaled with her eyes, hoping Sifney would come quickly to rescue her.
On the other side, Sifney had just entered the mansion when she saw Liyami pressed against the wall, with Colin “walling her up”—this scene left Sifney completely stunned, and she blurted out instinctively.
“What??? Wh-why has it progressed so fast??? You guys, you’re already that close?!”
???
What is this little she-devil thinking about every day?
Do we look like we’re doing that?
Hurry up and save me!
Ah!!!
Liyami, seeing Sifney’s reaction, nearly lost her temper.
She never expected Sifney to think about such things at a moment like this.
At the same time, Liyami noticed Colin’s attention was also drawn by Sifney’s words.
Taking advantage of this, she quickly used “Shadowmeld” and “Shadowstep” to escape Colin’s grasp and hid behind Sifney.
Seeing Liyami run off, Colin couldn’t help but feel a wave of disappointment.
“Brother, why resist your fate? Why not embrace the ‘Holy Light’? You are one who is illuminated by the ‘Holy Light’!” he said with extreme regret in his voice.
“Did you hear that? We’re definitely not that kind of relationship. Look at him—he’s not himself right now, mentally unstable!”
Hiding behind Sifney, Liyami felt a chill down her spine as she quickly tried to make Sifney understand the situation.
Liyami’s words snapped Sifney back to reality.
Looking at Colin approaching them, she too sensed something was wrong with him.
“Colin, what’s going on? Why are you talking about fate and stuff to Liyami? This isn’t like you at all…”
Seeing Sifney confused and Liyami on guard, Colin showed an expression of devotion.
“Ah! I feel it! During these days of seclusion, I have reached enlightenment! I have truly understood the truth of this world, ah ah ah! Praise the ‘Holy Light’!”
Sifney looked at Colin with suspicion at his strange words, while Liyami took the chance to say,
“Did you hear that? Colin must have gone a bit mad during his seclusion. We should lift his Seclusion Order!”
“But that Seclusion Order was to help Colin rest better…”
Seeing Sifney hesitate, Liyami became anxious.
At this moment, Colin’s gaze landed on Sifney.
“By the way, Sifney. I remember you follow the ‘Supreme Will’, right? Interested in changing your faith? Why not join me in embracing the ‘Holy Light’?”
The moment Sifney heard Colin preaching to her, her remaining hesitation vanished.
“Wait, Colin. That Seclusion Order is null and void now. We’re letting you out, but no more of this!”
Sifney stepped back while speaking, seemingly afraid Colin would rush at her.
But behind her was Liyami—there was nowhere left to retreat.
Fortunately, Colin stopped in his tracks, looking down with regret and muttering things like “What a pity,” “Why not embrace the ‘Holy Light’,” and the like.
Yes!
Success!
They believe it!
No more being alone in this house, no more seclusion life—she could finally go outside! Hahaha!!!
Colin was inwardly bursting with joy.
That’s right, everything just now was his acting.
Though at first, he was genuinely inspired, when he saw Liyami bewildered by his behavior, he immediately thought of a perfect way to avoid being under Seclusion.
He grabbed Liyami’s hand and fervently preached to her.
And then, what just happened happened: he successfully lifted the Seclusion Order, and likely, there would be no more such orders on him in the future—a perfect outcome!
Colin felt like a mastermind; he almost laughed out loud.
Because Colin kept his head down, Sifney couldn’t see his expression clearly.
But seeing that he didn’t make any further moves, she relaxed a little and walked calmly into the room.
Behind her, Liyami glanced at Colin in confusion.
Was it just her imagination, or did Colin just smile?
But since Sifney said nothing more and Colin made no move, Liyami decided she must have been mistaken.
After a while, once the atmosphere had calmed, Liyami eagerly asked Sifney, “By the way, didn’t you say you found a way to deal with the Silver Mark on me? What’s the method?”
“Oh?”
Colin looked at Sifney with interest, “You already have a solution? Impressive!”
Sifney glanced at Colin and signaled him to shut up; she didn’t want to hear him speak right now.
Liyami agreed silently.
Colin reluctantly kept quiet and listened.
With Colin quiet, Sifney cleared her throat and began: “To be precise, it’s not a solution to remove it, but a way to reduce its effects.”
“Only reduce the effects? Well, that’s better than nothing. Tell me, what’s the method?”
Though it wasn’t exactly what she expected, Liyami didn’t care anymore.
She just wanted to solve this problem quickly.
“Don’t rush. The method is simple. Here, put these on first.”
Sifney pulled some strange-looking bells and ornaments out of her Magic Pouch and handed them all to Liyami to wear.
Then, she took her Staff and began drawing something nearby.
Looking at the bells and trinkets in her hands, Liyami asked in confusion, “What are these for?”
“They enhance the effect. Just wear them.”
Sifney answered while drawing.
Soon, Liyami had all the accessories on, and she jingled as she walked.
Colin watched thoughtfully, and when Liyami looked over, he awkwardly gestured, as if to say she looked good like this.
Liyami ignored Colin’s gesture and went over to see what Sifney was drawing.
But when she saw it, her heart sank—no matter how she looked at it, it was definitely a Magic Circle!
As Sifney continued to draw and chant spells, the Magic Circle under her grew more complete.
Finally, Sifney finished, and Liyami fully understood—it was a Magic Circle!
“Are you sure this Magic Circle can really help me?”
Liyami asked nervously, the bells on her body jingling along with her words.
Fortunately, everyone here was strong enough not to miss such sounds.
Sifney smiled brightly at Liyami and pointed to the Magic Circle.
“Don’t worry, this will definitely help you! When have I ever lied to you?”
