Since the sky was covered, the heavens began to show their holiness

While Zhou Xian was thinking to himself, Gwen's eyes looked him up and down curiously and vigilantly. She was really surprised to see a human child suddenly appear in this Shadow Island, which has always been gloomy and silent and rarely visited.

Her eyes lingered on Zhou Xian, trying to find some clues about his origins from his clothes and demeanor. She unconsciously tightened the scissors in her hand, and the mysterious and holy power fluctuated slightly, as if sensing whether there were any traces of black mist on Zhou Xian.

After a long time, Gwen opened her red lips and wanted to say something, but stopped because of the language barrier. She could only continue to look at Zhou Xian with puzzled eyes, secretly wondering how he came to this Shadow Island.

"excuse me."

Zhou Xian knew that this was a presumptuous move, but the situation was special and he could not care less. He spoke sincerely and bowed quickly while speaking.

Then, he stretched out his hand without hesitation and touched Gwen's forehead. Gwen was startled when she saw him suddenly do this, and instinctively wanted to dodge to the side.

However, strangely, her body seemed to be frozen, unable to move at all, and the air around her seemed to have solidified, making it impossible for her to evade. She widened her eyes, full of shock and vigilance, and could only watch Zhou Xian's finger getting closer and closer, and finally touching her forehead. She couldn't help but feel panic in her heart, not knowing what the other party was going to do.

Just as Gwen's panic had not yet dissipated, she suddenly felt a strange force spreading between her and Zhou Xian, and an invisible connection was quietly established. She widened her eyes, full of doubt and vigilance.

At this moment, Zhou Xian had a calm expression. This was an ancient magic that he had accidentally learned in the library of the Magnolia Empire - establishing a spiritual connection through a special way, thereby achieving barrier-free communication between users of different languages.

He knew that this magic seemed abrupt and might make Gwen feel uneasy, but in the absence of a language barrier, this was the only way to communicate. After establishing contact, he nodded slightly, looked at Gwen sincerely, and slowly said, "Please don't be afraid, I have no ill intentions, I just want to communicate with you." Trying to let Gwen relax her guard.

After hearing Zhou Xian's explanation, Gwen's tense body relaxed slightly and she breathed a sigh of relief. She was very sensitive and although she was startled by Zhou Xian's sudden action, she tried to feel Zhou Xian's intentions at the moment of establishing contact.

It was just as Zhou Xian said, she did not detect any malicious intent in Zhou Xian. In this gloomy and terrifying Shadow Island filled with black fog, she was able to survive safely until now, relying not only on the power of the Holy Haze in her body that could restrain the black fog, but also on her keen perception of the surrounding malicious intent.

If there was any danger approaching, she would be able to detect it in advance and respond. At this moment, she was sure that the human child in front of her had no ill will towards her, and the vigilance in her eyes gradually faded. She nodded gently in response to Zhou Xian.

"I wonder where this is?"

Zhou Xian didn't care when he saw this, but started asking. Although he already had a guess in his mind, he still wanted to confirm it.

Gwen tilted her head slightly, with a hint of doubt in her eyes. She looked at Zhou Xian and replied, "This is Shadow Island."

She paused and continued, "How come you, a child, are here? It's very dangerous here. You'd better leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, she showed a trace of worry on her face. After all, Shadow Island was indeed an extremely dangerous place for humans. Although the child in front of her seemed to have some special abilities, he was still just a child in her eyes. "Shadow Island? As expected."

A cold light flashed in Zhou Xian's eyes. Gwen's words were like a key that opened the door of conjecture in his heart.

But then, more confusion surged into his mind like a tide. How did the two seemingly unconnected worlds, Rune Continent and Magnolia Continent, come into contact? This question, like a fog, lingered in his mind and could not be shaken off.

Zhou Xian racked his brains, his thoughts were tangled like a tangled mess, but he still couldn't figure it out. The complex connections involved were far beyond his current understanding.

Zhou Xian thought to himself that even if Beirut came in person, he would find it difficult to figure out the intricate mystery. Perhaps, only the mysterious person who had lived in seclusion for countless centuries like a "homebody" could understand the secrets behind all this.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xian simply stopped adding to his worries and forced himself to put aside his chaotic thoughts. He tilted his head slightly and fixed his gaze on Gwen, with a more intense curiosity in his eyes.

This strange creature that used to be a rag doll now stood in front of him as a flesh-and-blood human being. This transformation was too bizarre. What kind of magical power and principle could make a lifeless rag doll reborn and become a living being? This question was like a magnet, firmly attracting his entire mind.

"If we can thoroughly study the mystery, maybe the rules of life can be accomplished." Zhou Xian thought to himself. Gwen's birth was like breaking the barriers of conventional cognition. Her existence was like a wordless book. Every detail was a concrete miracle of the rules of life. Zhou Xian was fascinated and couldn't wait to explore the true meaning.

Gwen felt uncomfortable under Zhou Xian's fiery gaze that seemed to see through her, and subconsciously clenched the huge pair of scissors in her hand. The sharp tips of the scissors flashed a cold light.

"Uh, I'm so sorry, I lost my composure for a moment. My name is Zhou Xian, and I don't know yours." Zhou Xian realized that his inquiring gaze just now was too direct and rude, his face slightly hot, and he hurriedly apologized and quickly changed the subject, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"My name is Gwen. If you have nothing else to do, you'd better leave the Shadow Isles. This place is not a kind place for humans."

Gwen shook her head gently and continued to persuade him patiently. Although Zhou Xian's fiery gaze before made her feel scared, her master's kindness in the past was deeply rooted in her heart. Out of kindness in her bones, she still didn't want Zhou Xian to take risks here.

"Thank you for your kind reminder, but I still have to wait for someone here, so I can't leave for the time being."

Zhou Xian raised a gentle smile at the corner of his lips and spoke slowly. He knew in his heart that Shadow Island was filled with a strange and unique atmosphere and a strong power of death. It was a perfect place for him to study the magic of the dead.

Perhaps by exploring carefully in this environment filled with gloomy energy, he could comprehend the subtleties of the rules of death. How could he easily miss such a rare opportunity? Naturally, he was unwilling to leave.
