Divine Seal: Child of the Elements, starting with a contract with Gu Yuena.

As soon as he stepped down from the Holy Mountain of Knights and was out of the old man's sight, Gu Ao's expression immediately turned serious.

A pair of azure wings suddenly unfurled behind him, and a gentle breeze appeared beneath him, lifting him up. With the combined force, Gu Ao instantly soared into the air.

Wind Wings and Wind Walk, two fifth-tier spells used simultaneously.

He identified a direction and immediately accelerated away without hesitation, his figure quickly disappearing into the vast sky.

Quiri City is the closest city to the Holy Knight Mountain.

Flying at full speed, Gu Ao arrived quickly. After entering the city, he did not delay and went straight to the nearest hotel, where he quickly booked a room.

As he closed the door, Gu Ao couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation for what was about to happen.

Yes, he succeeded. He did not come away empty-handed. Within that teleportation array, he successfully forged an equal contract with a magical beast from another dimension.

Standing in the center of the room, Gu Ao took a deep breath and then solemnly invoked the Equal Contract.

In an instant, a complex and enormous magic circle lit up beneath his feet, and the silver light rapidly spread, completely enveloping the entire room.

The room was bathed in a silvery glow, as bright as day, with countless glittering silver specks filling the sky. The powerful spatial fluctuations caused the air to tremble slightly.

The dazzling silver light did not last long, gradually receding and dissipating like the tide. At the core of the magic array, a slender silver figure gradually became clearer from its hazy state.

Finally, the last bit of silver light completely disappeared.

In the very center of the magic circle stood a young girl.

She had shoulder-length silver hair that flowed like moonlight, and at this moment she slowly raised her eyes, revealing a pair of clear and pure silver eyes, like the most precious gems.

The moment she opened her eyes, a trace of confusion and bewilderment flashed across her beautiful eyes. She quietly surveyed the completely unfamiliar surroundings, and her gaze finally settled on Gu Ao, who was standing not far away.

Gu Ao was also observing her.

The moment their eyes met, an indescribable and wondrous feeling quietly arose in their hearts.

Through the feedback of the equal contract, Gu Ao clearly sensed that the girl in front of him was indeed the one who had entered into a contract with him.

Do you have a name?

"Where are you from?"

Are you human?

To break the silence, Guo tried to speak first and gently asked some questions.

However, the silver-haired girl simply watched him quietly, without making a sound or responding at all.

Seeing this, Gu Ao had no choice but to temporarily abandon his plan to communicate.

He first tidied up the room, which had become somewhat messy due to the summoning, and then gave the girl his instructions.

"Why don't you rest here for a bit? I'll go get you something to eat."

After settling the girl in, Gu Ao turned and left the room, went to the hotel reception, and ordered some food and water.

When Gu Ao returned to his room, he found her sitting on the edge of the bed, standing as still as a statue.

Shortly after, there was a knock on the door, and a waiter brought in food. Gu Ao didn't let the waiter in, but took the tray from outside the door and carried it into the room himself, placing it on the tea table.

"Come and get something to eat."

Gu Ao was gentle and kind, and picked up a bun himself, indicating that it was food to eat.

The girl stood up like a robot and sat in the chair opposite her.

Watching the girl pop the bun into her mouth, her eyes brightened slightly, Gu Ao also took a bite of the bun in his hand, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

He had repeatedly confirmed the equal contract—this girl was undoubtedly the "monster" he had summoned from the Holy Mountain of Knights, from another dimension.

However, she presented a perfect human form.

The Equal Contract has the ability to check the cultivation level of the contracted party. The other party is just an ordinary person with no spiritual power or other energy.

But the fact that she is humanoid means only two possibilities: either her power is extremely strong, far exceeding the scope of ordinary magical beasts; or her race is quite special, and she is born with a humanoid or near-humanoid form.

The first possibility can be largely ruled out... unless she is powerful enough to deceive him, who is the other party to the equal contract, but that obviously doesn't explain her series of actions.

Seeing the girl wolfing down her food without any regard for appearances, Gu Ao immediately dismissed the possibility.

So... her race must be quite extraordinary?

Looking at that stunningly beautiful face, I recalled the resonance I felt with the Child of Elements' physique when I summoned her.

The fact that one can resonate with the Child of Elements suggests that the other party must also control the elements.

Could they be elves? Elves must be quite widespread across countless planes; the ancient Holy Demon Continent was inhabited by elves.

The elves are renowned for their beautiful appearance and close connection to nature, which certainly fits the criteria.

However, the girl's ears were not the pointed ears characteristic of elves.

If not elves, then what race could they be?

Elements, origin, silver hair, stunning beauty...

Gu Ao felt as if he had grasped the key to the problem, but it was as if he had missed some important information. This feeling of being stuck in the middle made him very uncomfortable.

The girl was still eating, and the food on her plate was almost gone. He was still absentmindedly eating the pastry, his attention mostly absorbed in his chaotic thoughts.

Suddenly, he felt a gaze upon her; she had finished her food and was staring at the bun in his hand.

Looking at the girl's appearance, the sense of familiarity became even stronger.

However, Gu Ao didn't actually give her the one she had already eaten. Instead, he ordered another one, and the girl continued eating while he continued to think, trying to grasp that fleeting moment of inspiration.

"..."

Suddenly, a very faint sound came from behind.

Gu Ao was instantly jolted awake from his reverie. The voice seemed to be coming from the girl opposite him. Was she speaking?

"What did you just say?" Gu Ao asked tentatively, lowering his voice.

"...Na...er..."

The extremely subtle, slightly awkward syllables were finally uttered softly from the girl's mouth.

Gu Ao was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

The girl raised her silver eyes and gazed at him. This time, her voice was slightly clearer as she repeated, word by word, "My... name is... Na'er..."

With a soft "thud," the half-eaten bun in Gu'ao's hand fell to the ground.

He stood frozen in place, as if under a spell, his gaze fixed incredulously on the silver-haired girl who called herself "Na'er".

Silver hair, silver eyes, an alien "monster", elemental resonance... all the scattered clues seemed to be connected by an invisible lightning bolt at this moment, instantly forming a coherent whole!
