Start by logging into the Old Man's Ring at Hogwarts

But I can't help but find these fragments beautiful.

Zicomo felt that in his past life, no, in his life before that, he must have been a dragon.

I really have no resistance to these shiny things.

Lani, who is in an underground cave: If you don't come down soon, I'm leaving!

After collecting the starlight fragments around the church, Zicomo jumped into the cave.

Deep inside the cave, a pair of fingers he had never seen before came into view.

Its body, four or five stories high, presents a lifeless grayish-white color.

Between the two fingers was a bright red wound.

The wound is semi-circular in shape, and many striped wounds extend outward from this arc.

It resembles a bright red centipede.

Blood kept flowing from the wound, spreading all the way to his feet.

Zicomo had seen this pattern once before.

That was a death curse mark obtained from Lani.

Zicomo knew that the two fingers were dead.

The person who killed it was Lani, who was sitting in front of him.

She sat quietly on the corpse of the two fingers, her Snow Witch outfit nowhere to be seen.

This was the first time Zicomo had seen Lani's complete doll body.

Ropes are wrapped around the slender joints of the hands and feet, serving to connect different parts of the body.

Without the oversized Snow Witch outfit, Lani's figure appeared petite and adorable.

The bloodstains on her fingers added a touch of cold elegance to her appearance.

She sat there slumped down, powerless yet graceful, as if she had exhausted all her strength in the battle with her two fingers.

Even when Zikomo arrived, he remained silent.

"They're quite good at pretending."

Zicomo leaned closer and carefully examined Lani's face.

He knew that Lani was actually fine.

Ultimately, two fingers are merely the representatives of the supreme will.

If it had that ability, it wouldn't have chosen Marika to act on its behalf and travel the borderlands.

These two fingers are simply special, unable to be killed, and possess some unique abilities.

Against Lani, who wields the "Hunter's Finger Knife," it's one kill at a time.

Lani was only pretending to be weak to test Zicomo.

She wanted to know what he would do when she appeared before Zikomo completely unprepared.

Will he take out the Darkmoon Ring and put it on her, or will he wave his wand at her without hesitation?

Zicomo made neither of the two choices.

He stepped forward, picked Lani up, and whispered in her ear.

"My princess, you must be tired. Now get some sleep. When you wake up, I will bring you the surprise we promised."

After saying that, he gently kissed Lani's forehead and put her into the system space.

There is no oxygen in the system space, so living things cannot be stored.

But Lani's soul resides in the doll's body, and she doesn't need to breathe.

Moreover, Lani did not resist, and Zicomo easily took her inside.

After doing all this, Zicomo left the game and returned to reality.

He arrived at the "Zen Garden".

"System, materialize Lani for me."

[Fulfillment attempt successful after deducting attempts]

The doll's body reappeared in front of Zicomo.

This time, however, it's happening in real life.

Moreover, her eyes were closed at this moment, indicating that she had clearly fallen asleep.

He placed the doll Lani into the incubation chamber of little Lani.

He was struggling with how to extract the soul from the doll.

Unexpectedly, the doll Lani had just touched little Lani's body.

The original body of Lani spontaneously generated a suction force, trying to pull the soul out of the doll and merge it into her body.

Lani's soul seemed to sense this shared aura as well, and cooperated without resistance.

"Is this a success?"

Zicomo had thought it would take some effort, but things went much more smoothly than he expected.

The fusion of soul and body will take some time.

Zicomo thought for a moment and then materialized the equipment slots as well.

He suddenly had dozens more sets of clothes.

Moreover, each set is the kind that can be worn as a cosplay outfit to anime conventions.

He took out the Snow Witch outfit and put it on Lani.

Lani's body had been immersed in potions all along, and Zicomo hadn't thought about the clothes.

Now, fearing that Lani would be too embarrassed when she woke up, he found some clothes for her to wear.

The clothes that the system generates are all very human-like.

It will automatically adjust its size according to the wearer's body shape.

At this moment, Little Lani is wearing a small-sized Snow Witch outfit, which perfectly recreates her original appearance.

However, compared to the doll's pale blue body, Lani's skin appeared much fairer.

Zicomo wasn't idle when Lani's body was reborn.

He used the technique he used to create the Platinum Child to turn Lani's hair back to dark blue.

Yes, permanent hair dye.

He still preferred Lani's blue hair.

As Radagan's child, Lani actually inherited his red hair.

However, when making the doll, she chose her favorite color, blue.

Although she once said that the doll's image was made based on her teacher, the witch Reina.

But Zicomo could tell that the doll looked somewhat similar to Renara.

This made him suspect that Lani was actually using her original appearance.

After comparing the appearances of little Lani and the doll, Zicomo became even more certain of his guess.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Resurrected Lani, The Contract Between the King and the Princess

Lani had a dream.

A short but beautiful dream.

In her dream, Zicomo became her king.

They soared into the night sky together, traveling through the darkness.

At the same time, they searched for the figure of the supreme will.

Only by hunting Him down can the borderlands be completely free from the law.

In the cold and long night, all living beings feel fear, confusion, and loneliness.

Finally, they defeated them through their own strength.

This is the era of stars that Lani had hoped for.

Since abandoning the body, only the soul remains.

She hasn't dreamed in a long time.

The soul does not dream; it only falls asleep.

He remained in good condition until he woke up again.

During this time, the soul can only feel endless darkness and loneliness.
