She controlled the Alchemy Legs, standing on the ice, resuming her disguised appearance from before.

"You won't be harmed."

She looked down at the Water Elemental Spirit sealed beneath the ice, gently saying, "Take this time to rest well."

"When you wake up, you'll be calm again."

Under the effect of the Sorrowful Ice River, all the Ghost Wolf corpses in the lake were frozen into ice blocks, which then shattered with a slight tremor, turning into a pile of ice shards.

The ice shards were swept into the air, gathered into a compressed ice ball, and then thrown by Fremay into the depths of the mist.

The filth had been cleansed, and once the magic ended, the Water Elemental Spirit would be free. By then, it would quickly return to its usual gentle self.

As she said before, she did indeed help the Water Elemental Spirit regain its calmness — through a thorough beating, then forced calming.

Anyway, the result is good, don't mind these details.

In fact, Fremay didn't feel there was anything wrong with her approach.

When she previously signed the contract with the Water Element, it was the same process — a beating first.

Once subdued, the other party would willingly and obediently sign the contract with her, becoming her Servant Demon.

There hasn't been a time yet when they weren't subdued.

The awakening of the Water Elemental Spirit needed some time, and the magic could also continue for a while longer, so Fremay did not persist in staying there. Instead, she turned and looked towards Herbert on the shore.

How is the situation over there?

But as she turned, Fremay's expression froze.

"Hmm?"

She saw Herbert staring seriously at the body of the female Centaur, scrutinizing it up and down.

"Herbert! What are you doing!!?"

His eyes were about to fall out!!!

In a panic, Fremay wanted to rush towards the shore but forgot she was controlling the Alchemy Legs.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

She tripped over the ice chunk beneath her feet, trying to float up again with magic, but forgot she had already exhausted her Mana.

"Oh no!"

The whole fish splashed down on the ice surface, sliding forward quite a distance due to the momentum.

The Grand Mage who was still skillfully controlling the Water Element a moment ago, freezing the entire lake into ice blocks, turned into a seal sliding across the ice the next moment.

Not handsome for more than three seconds.

After hearing Fremay's call, Herbert raised his head blankly and saw her rushing — or rather, sliding — towards him.

Herbert watched the mermaid miss gliding all the way to the shore after going with the flow, somewhat uncertainly asking, "What's this about?"

Childish whimsy?

Or some sort of performance art I can't understand?

"Ahem!"

Fremay coughed, her pride not allowing her to admit making such a low-level mistake.

Her mouth moved, finally stubbornly saying, "Never mind, this way is faster."

"Oh~"

Herbert responded meaningfully, not dwelling on it further, and waved at her.

"Okay, stop with the excuses, quickly come over here and take a look at this."

"I'm not making excuses, I genuinely thought it was quicker that way... hmm?"

Fremay got up from the ground, speaking stubbornly as she walked towards Herbert, looking at where he pointed.

"What's this?"

Following Herbert's direction, she saw the diamond-shaped gem embedded in the Centaur's chest.

It was at this moment she finally noticed what was different about this Centaur.

The body size seemed fine, but it appeared more transparent than described in the records and lacked any signs of life.

Also, she noticed the wounds on its body were slowly healing, including its clothes and horse armor gradually growing back.

And this obviously wasn't something a normal creature could accomplish.

"Spirit Body?"

"It's Heroic Spirit."

Herbert signaled for Fremay to sit beside him, placing his fingertip on the gem at the Centaur's chest.

"And this thing, I guess should be her Soul Core."

It was actually Nenasha who told them.

"According to what I've read in the records, by stimulating the Soul Crystal Stone of a Heroic Spirit, we can forcibly awaken them."

Also mentioned by Nenasha.

"Should we wake her up? At least we could ask what happened before this."

Fremay hesitated; the other party's attitude was unclear. Perhaps it was friends with the Water Elemental Spirit, but now that it's frozen by her, if it saw this scene...

But after a moment of hesitation, she decided to awaken the Centaur.

"Okay... you do it."

At least first figure out her identity, which would facilitate further conversation.

Moreover, the Centaur Heroic Spirit is currently in recovery, the longer it drags on, the stronger she'd become, adding more uncertainty.

She herself had now recovered a bit, surely able to firmly suppress the other party.

If the other party harbored malice, then eliminate her directly, not giving her a chance to continue regaining strength.

With Fremay's permission, he immediately acted, infusing a stream of Holy Power into the Soul Core.

"Ahem..."

Soon, the Centaur Heroic Spirit coughed lightly, her eyebrows moved, and she slowly opened her eyes.

But contrary to Herbert's expectations, after opening her eyes, she remained confusedly staring at him without trying to escape or being on alert.

"..."

Hmm?

Looking at this pure and bewildered gaze, a thought flashed through Herbert's mind.

No way?

He hesitated a bit before finally tentatively asking,

"Do you... still remember who you are?"

And to this question —

The Centaur Miss's answer startled him.

"Me? I'm Sofia."

Sofia looked at Herbert and Fremay, contemplated for a moment, and said with some confusion:

"But beyond that..."

"I remember nothing else."
