I'm a villain, not a devil

The bookmark is very thin, so thin that people worry about whether it can fulfill the responsibility of a bookmark.

After gently twisting it out, Sean discovered that the almost transparent bookmark was a dried leaf.

It feels strangely slippery in the hand, and it feels like you can't hold it between your fingertips. Facing the direction of the light, you can clearly see the veins on it.

Sean held the leaf bookmark to the page, but didn't notice any change.

"Have you ever seen this thing?" Sean asked.

Zhu Zhu shook his head: "I don't have any impression. At that time, my attention was all on the moving pictures."

"Huh?" Sean made a confused sound. He had just shown it in front of Zhu Zhu, with the simple bonfire brought by Sean sandwiched between the two of them. It was just right for the leaf bookmarks to see Zhu Zhu's face in the light of the fire.

"This girl is quite serious... huh?"

Sean, who was discussing this matter with Moza Sherrill, tilted his head inadvertently, and saw Xiao Ci's movements from the corner of his eye.

"Correct."

After taking away the leaves, there was nothing left. When looking through the leaves and through the firelight, the symbol on Xiao Ci's forehead was almost blinding.

Zhu Zhu, who had been sitting next to her, was a little uneasy. She pulled Sean's sleeve and whispered: "Is there any other meaning in this?"

Not long after, the first paragraph was recorded.

Xiao Ci didn't know why Xiao En and others were staring at her like this. She just looked back and forth at a few people, and finally stretched out her middle finger: "Smoke."

Xiao Ci shook his head: "Not moving."

"What did you see?"

Sean tried again and the symbol appeared again.

"Well written."

"When the tree grows to the point where the crown is no longer visible, it means that the new world has taken shape."

It is not a particularly rare thing for a native of the Imperial City to have a thin bloodline from an older generation of family, but Zhu Zhu has such a clear royal symbol on his forehead...

Moza suddenly thought of something. He pulled Sean and said softly: "Brother, don't you think that Xiao Ci and Bai Ye's powers are of the same type?"

Sean called over Xiao Ci, who was silently playing with a lighter.

Xiao Ci bit her lip gently, a wave of emotion appeared on her expressionless face. She liked hearing her brother praise her most.

"But not Zhu Zhu. Zhu Zhu's powers awakened very early and are of a very special space system." Sean thought of something different.

Xiao Ci looked at it: "A man, holding up his hands, there is a lot of light floating on him from outside, the light is white, his face can't be seen clearly, but he looks very happy."

It's really the same type.

"What do you see?"

Zhu Zhu nodded: "There was no empire before. The imperial capital used to be a city-state similar to Paradise City, jointly controlled by several powerful families. In the end, the Bai family became the lords of the city-state, which is now the royal family."

"Book in the tree?" Sean and others looked at each other. They couldn't tell what the words on it were.

Sean has an excellent memory and good handiwork, and he quickly drew the symbol.

On the note was a line of neat handwriting: Prince Bai Youming of the Empire is keeping an eye on you. He suspects that you were responsible for what happened at the Earl's villa, and may focus on searching you.

As Xiao Ci wrote more and more words, Sean gradually showed a look of surprise.

"Take this and look at me through the firelight. Can you see anything?" Sean handed the leaf over.

"We all came together and had a naming ceremony for our family."

Is that your life in vain...

"What's wrong?" Seeing his expression, Zhu Zhu asked.

She raised her head in disbelief: "But this is the ancient family emblem of the imperial family. I have read relevant information."

"Do you want to contact Bai Ye?" Moza pushed up his glasses.

"No," Zhu Zhu shook his head, "Our family is a newly promoted noble. My grandfather was the leader of a foreign power. He took the lead in defecting to the empire and was awarded a title. However, he died very young. The specific reason is not known. I just He said that his hard work paid off, so he specifically let my father inherit the title."

Sean walked over.

But can Xiao Ci read this book normally?

Sean thought for a while and turned to the cover: "Can you see this?"

"But, Xiao Ci, how did you write these things?" Sean's voice was filled with surprise.

Xiao Ci leaned on the table, looked at it from time to time, and wrote the words he saw.

"Damn, that's weird..." Sean scratched his head and was puzzled.

The records mentioned that several families established new city-states and created new laws. They relied on the various miracles of the World Tree to gain a firm foothold.

The brothers were brainstorming there, and Zhu Zhu and Xiao Ci looked at each other.

"Can you see the specific order?" Sean asked.

"What's going on?" Moza didn't react.

There were also faint symbols flashing from a few gang members, but they were too dim and the specific shapes could no longer be seen clearly.

Looking at the words in the book, she started writing stroke by stroke.

Not only can I read and write, but I can also practice fine control.

Zhu Zhu did as he was told, but still shook his head: "I didn't see anything."

Sean frowned and looked at Zhu Zhu, who was a little panicked.

Xiao Ci was a little confused. Shouldn't the words on the book be arranged in order?

She nodded: "Yes."

"Also, there is this." Moza handed over a note, "Shadow secretly sent it here."

After the unpleasantness with Bai Ye, the princess never came to see her, but this time she sent a note to remind her, which should be regarded as a disguised request for peace.

"Yes," Xiao Ci nodded, "Books in trees."

Sean took the leaf away, but saw that the symbol on Zhu Zhu's forehead disappeared.

"okay."

……

But when Moza looked at Zhu Zhu, he could also see the symbols that Sean saw.

The fonts of all of them appear to be floating, and precisely because of this, they cannot get the accurate meaning of the content in the book.

"Later the empire was established and many territories were opened up in the long years and continuous battles. Naturally, the family crest had to be changed to the national symbol, so the current white crescent moon emerged."

There was a bit of electric light twining around her fingertips, and she started drawing on the special notebook.

With such doubts, Sean recruited a large number of people to conduct experiments.

As if he was worried that Xiao En wouldn't believe him, Xiao Ci followed it one stroke at a time and wrote: "This is the word, Book in the Tree. Jia Jia taught me these words, and I know them."

"Yes, but not now. By the way, light a fire and let me see."

It was a slightly abstract symbol, a bit like a sun in the center of a crescent moon.

If his speculation is true, this leaf is a secret card that can reveal the identity and bloodline of the ancient family... Then how come Zhu Zhu and Xiao Ci are both symbols of the ancient royal family?

Damn it, two princesses are living outside, one is being raised by the earl's family, and the other is just thrown into the street without anyone caring about her, right?
