If it weren't a spirit standing in front of her...

With golden soft long hair draped over her shoulders, jet black bright eyes, fair skin matched with a red dress, especially seeing those bare little feet, Raymond would definitely think she was an extremely pretty and cute little loli.

Unfortunately, she was a spirit.

Since there was no escape, Raymond's mood relaxed and he waited quietly.

As time slowly passed, the little girl in the red dress floating in the air slowly regained her ability to speak.

For over a thousand years, the little girl named Deborah herself did not know how she became like this.

In her remaining memories, only her favorite little doll remained.

Because she could not communicate with anyone at the Wizard Academy, she did not even understand what happened.

And before meeting Raymond, she could only be seen once every ten years.

Therefore, as time gradually passed, her opportunities to speak became less and less until now she could only sing the lullaby belonging to her mother and the sentence "Help me find my little doll."

Like a spirit formed by obsession, the little girl named Deborah could appear anywhere in the Red Ze Wetland, but because her little doll was left in the Wizard Academy, she usually would not go too far.

However, since that day she discovered that Raymond could see her and hear her voice, she began to look for Raymond. In Deborah's simple mind, the little girl just wanted to get his help.

The intermittent narrative had many mistakes and incomprehensible parts, but Raymond, who was patient, slowly understood Deborah's situation and her current goal.

"Where is your little doll? How can I help you get it back?" Although the cold sweat had disappeared, Raymond always felt that what he was doing now was too bizarre.

"The room, behind..." Deborah still needed to pause from time to time to find the right words. "There is a door...the cabinet inside..."

Frowning, Raymond pondered for a moment and spread the map issued by the Wizard Academy on the table, asking Deborah to point out the location of the room she mentioned.

Seeing Raymond's actions, a joyful expression appeared on the little girl Deborah's delicate face. Her lovely and brilliant smile made Raymond stunned for a moment.

But after Deborah found the location of the room on the map, Raymond was surprised because the room pointed out by Deborah turned out to be in the basement of a building in the black market on the lower floor.

The black market building had existed for a long time, but Raymond had never gone deep into the basement before. So after much consideration, he really did not dare to agree to the spirit Deborah's request.

"That is a place I cannot enter," Raymond said very seriously looking into Deborah's eyes. He regretfully rejected it. "You have existed in the academy for so long. You should know that apprentices like me cannot enter many places!"

The pretty eyes were instantly covered with a layer of mist. The little Deborah pursed her lips and frowned as if remembering. After a long time, she said, "That room...no danger..."

"Please, please, my favorite little doll..." The little Deborah looked extremely pitiful, reaching out to tug at Raymond's arm, but her insubstantial little hand passed directly through Raymond's arm.

This inevitable result stunned both Raymond and little Deborah for a moment.

Soon Deborah's head drooped, accompanied by her choking sobs, disappearing from Raymond's sight.

But the sobbing cry filled the room, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Frowning, Raymond could not find Deborah's location in the room, but the crying made him irritable and depressed.

Sighing deeply, Raymond turned his gaze back to the map. The time when the castle where the black market was located was destroyed by fire roughly coincided with when the little girl Deborah became a spirit. But Raymond had no idea what was hidden in the basements where the black market was located.

"It seems that the little girl Deborah becoming a spirit should be related to the accident that happened a thousand years ago," Raymond speculated with a frown. He had seen scraps about the cause of the damage to the black market building in the academy's library before. "According to the principle of spirit formation, the little girl Deborah must have a strong obsession."

"Please..." Suddenly, Deborah's body slowly emerged again from the void. In her hands held to her chest, a small light ball was slowly taking shape. "My mother said that equivalent exchange is needed between wizards. This is what my mother left me.I am willing to exchange it for your help..."

With a deeply reluctant look on her pitiful little face, her eyes were covered with a layer of mist. Deborah's expression, like a normal little girl, suddenly made Raymond feel sad.

Holding the light ball that emerged from her body in her hands, Deborah hesitated for a long time. Her expression only became firm, and then she presented the memory light ball to Raymond.

Raymond moved his slightly stiff fingers and tentatively touched the memory light ball with his fingertips. When he touched the memory light ball, Raymond found that this thing was not an illusion but really existed.

But he did not dare to accept what was contained in it directly. He immediately gave an order to the chip. "Check everything inside!"

"Task established, analysis begins..."

Raymond's eyes flickered with red dots, and soon a large amount of data appeared in his vision.

"Task completed, data analysis as follows: incomplete 3rd-level wood attribute strong attack spell, modification rate 71%, lacking guiding spell."

Faced with the results given by the chip, Raymond frowned, moved his fingers away from the light ball, and looked directly at little Deborah, saying, "This may be a memory light ball of a spell, but it is incomplete."

Raymond's words made little Deborah pout. She insisted, "My mother's spell is complete. I want my little doll!"

The dialogue came to a deadlock here. Little Deborah's thinking became confused. No matter what Raymond said, she answered with these two sentences. Her tone also seemed dull and lifeless.

Soon, in Raymond's room, Deborah's body became blurred, but her voice became increasingly impatient...
