"Listen up, Laura."
"Um!"
"Keep the woman in this painting firmly in your heart."
"Um!"
"She is our greatest enemy!"
"Um!"
Aaron stood behind the two girls, listening quietly to their conversation, feeling as if his blood pressure was about to shoot straight to the sky.
From the age of six or seven, Anne often stood there staring at Brianna's portrait.
He originally thought that Anne liked the painting, or simply thought the girl in the painting was pretty.
But he never expected that Anne had been harboring such thoughts all along.
Moreover, she even wanted to pass this idea on to Lola!
Aaron felt a surge of anger, raised his fists, quietly walked behind the two women, and then viciously punched each of them.
"Ouch!"
"what!"
The two girls screamed and immediately covered their smoking, bumpy heads.
Lola glared fiercely at Aaron, baring her teeth in a threatening gesture.
Annie pouted and complained, "Aaron, what are you doing!"
"Who told you to pass on some weird ideas to Lola?" Aaron said, staring at them. "And you, Lola, don't believe everything Anne says. Learn to think and judge for yourself."
Anne made a face at Aaron, then took Lola's hand and stormed off from him.
Looking at the two girls' retreating figures, Aaron couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
It has been three years since Lola came to the library.
Over the past three years, Anne has become even smarter.
Perhaps because she suddenly had a younger sister, Annie became more responsible than before.
Although Anne was initially reluctant to let Lola join her, she took great care of Lola after she overcame her inner conflict.
Aaron was naturally happy that the two had a close relationship.
However, Aaron was a little worried about Laura, as she seemed to be relying on Anne too much.
However, Aaron looked at Brianna's portrait.
Miss Brianna, when did you become Anne's enemy?
Aaron shook his head, not thinking too much about it.
He walked to the table, prepared all the books, and then shouted loudly:
"Lola, class is starting!"
Hearing Aaron's call, Lola finally came over reluctantly.
Lola has been studying the contents of "The Knot of the Clouds" for two and a half years.
Although Lola's proficiency in the Kingdom is still only barely passable, her speed in mastering "The Knot of the Mist" is remarkable.
It's much faster than BYR had anticipated.
This was thanks to Annie's help.
When Aaron was teaching, he would inevitably encounter some content that could not be explained simply in the Kingdom Language. Anne would always be able to translate the text into Green Eyes Language and explain it to Lola.
However, Aaron cannot deny Lola's talent and learning ability.
As Lola's Mandarin improved, she needed Annie's help less and less.
At this point, Anne became an obstacle to Lola's studies.
Whenever Anne appears in Lola's field of vision, Lola's attention becomes involuntarily distracted, her eyes following Anne.
For example, right now, Anne is sitting to the side reading a book, and Lola keeps glancing over there.
Aaron could only order, "Annie, go back to your room and read!"
Although somewhat reluctant, Anne went back to her room.
Then, Aaron began to explain the contents of the forbidden book to Laura.
The Book of the Clouds records the power of space, which can be categorized as magic.
A concept very similar to space is the plane of existence; the two abilities have a high degree of overlap in their outward appearance.
However, if you pay attention to the details, you will find that there are many differences between them.
The most obvious feature is that dimensional abilities have "uniformity" protection, but spatial abilities do not.
Having the ability to provide unified protection ensures that an object or living being can only be affected by the ability as a whole, and cannot be affected locally.
Therefore, spatial capabilities are far more dangerous than dimensional capabilities.
However, another interpretation of the word "protection" is "restriction," meaning that spatial capabilities are not subject to as many constraints as dimensional capabilities, and therefore may have a higher usage limit.
The book "The Knot of the Clouds" may have been written during the legendary or prehistoric period, but the creator of the power recorded in the book, Nicholas, is a figure from the mythological period.
Nicholas believed that mortals and gods exist in two different worlds, and that after death, a person's soul is insufficient to cross the barrier between these two worlds.
Therefore, he dedicated himself to building a bridge connecting the two worlds, and studied spatial abilities, establishing his own school of thought based on his theories.
As for what gods Nicholas believed in, and how his theories were passed down completely to the next period, Aaron could not find out from the book.
Nicholas's theoretical system mainly studies two things: how to bring space into reality, and how to bring real things into space.
He called the space he used "the Realm of Mist," which is why this book is called "The Knot of the Realm of Mist."
Lola had grasped these concepts long ago, and the rest was simply a method of connecting spaces.
Different locations, terrains, times, and climates will all lead to differences in the magic circles that need to be constructed.
However, if the selected magic array does not meet the requirements, it may cause spatial disorder or even lead to misalignment of the rosy realm.
Furthermore, since spatial abilities lack uniform protection, such errors are undoubtedly quite dangerous for the caster.
That's why Aaron required Laura to concentrate during class.
If there is a deviation in the mastery of any knowledge point, the negative impact is often difficult to predict.
Fortunately, as long as Anne is not around, Lola can concentrate, so so far, Lola has a firm and accurate grasp of the situation.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Aaron finally finished teaching Laura the lesson he had prepared.
Lola immediately got up, wanting to go to the room to find Anne.
Aaron couldn't help but call out to her, "Lola?"
Hearing Aaron's call, Laura stood still and looked at Aaron.
Perhaps due to her lack of confidence in the language of the Kingdom, she was always taciturn.
Do you think everything Anne said is correct?
Laura tilted her head and looked at Aaron, seemingly not understanding the meaning behind Aaron's question.
Aaron didn't intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point:
"What I mean is, I hope you can make your own judgments about things."
Lola immediately understood Aaron's idea. She glanced upwards, thought for a moment, and then said:
"Annie, not entirely right. I know what's right and wrong for myself."
Hearing this, Aaron realized that his worries were unnecessary, and smiled with relief.
But at the same time, she was also curious: "Then why do you agree with everything Annie says?"
Laura thought for a moment and replied:
"I don't want to deny Anne."
After saying that, Lola turned around and went back to her room.
Huh? Could it be that he's reading people's expressions?
But that's understandable.
Lola is a native of the New World, and her arrival in the Kingdom of Giants was not of her own volition.
Even though Aaron hadn't asked, he could imagine how much suffering Lola had endured at such a young age.
If it weren't for her good fortune in meeting a few people who changed her destiny, her fate would probably have been even more tragic.
But Aaron was in despair and dared not hope for Laura's gratitude, because he could not determine whether their relationship was one of kindness or resentment.
Aaron could often hear Laura's laughter, and he was already very content.
However, given his personality, he couldn't guarantee that he could protect Lola's smile forever.
One can only hope that his actions might occasionally be part of some of Lola's smiles.
