Chapter 125 Communication
After briefly chatting with Hess and leaving a few bottles of alchemical potions to stabilize Sophia's mental state, Roland and Hela did not stay here for long and left quietly.

Roland's work has been completed, and everything is going well for Sophia. Not only has her mind been restored, but she has also successfully completed her sublimation and become a fourth-ring spellcaster. There is no need for him to stay here any longer.

As for Hela, after seeing that Sophia's breathing was stable and her life was safe, she also breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so worried about her safety.

Although Roland did not ask her to leave, she could stay if she wanted to. However, after learning about Sophia's split mind, Hela was a little unsure about how to face Sophia. What would Sophia look like after her mind was reunited? Hela did not know, so she chose to leave.

Not long after Roland and Hela left, in the meditation room, Sophia's surging aura was retracted. Then, she opened her eyes and saw Hess in front of her.

Sophia stood up, saluted and greeted Hayes politely.

"Mr. Hayes, long time no see."

Hess smiled and handed her the alchemy potion left by Roland, speaking with a somewhat helpless tone.

"No need to be so formal. Drink this."

Sophia didn't answer. She took the alchemy potion and drank it in one gulp.

While the alchemical potion was taking effect, Sophia also slightly expanded her mental power to sense the situation around her.

After not sensing Roland and Hela, Sophia subconsciously pursed her lips slightly.

Although she was being promoted, she was still relatively sensitive to her surroundings because she had no sense of security, especially after Roland interfered with her promotion.

After her mind was restored, even during the process of soul sublimation, Sophia took some time to sense the surroundings.

Although she could not sense the virtual Roland, she still knew of Roland's existence. At the same time, she also sensed the existence of Hess and Hela.

As it happened, Sophia was a little unsure about how to face Hela, so she was relieved when she didn't find Hela.

Hayes looked at Sofia and spoke.

"Please stop your plan for now. I am preparing to advance to the seventh ring. If I succeed, I will rescue your mother. If I fail, you can continue."

Sophia had a look of surprise on her face and looked at Hayes in astonishment.

Hess has been in the sixth ring for many years. One of the main reasons why Hess accepted Sophia's mother as his student was that Hess thought it was unlikely for him to break through and become a seventh-ring spellcaster. Therefore, he gradually slacked off and accepted only one student.

Although Heiss regained his spirits and immersed himself in exploring the possibility of promotion after bringing Sophia to the Black Domain, Sophia clearly remembered that when she met Heiss last time, Heiss still had no progress.

Is it because of Hela or the person next to her?

Sophia reacted quickly.

Since Hess had no development before, but is now suddenly preparing for promotion, then, anyone who is not a fool can figure out who inspired him with a simple thought.

The name seems to be Roland.

Sophia nodded slightly, agreeing with what Hayes said.

She still has self-knowledge. If Hess can be promoted to the seventh ring, it will indeed be more reliable than her plan.

While Hess and Sophia were communicating, Roland and Hela also returned to the room prepared for them by the Soul School.

Roland casually poured two glasses of juice from the refrigerator, then he placed one in front of Hela, and took the other glass of juice and sat opposite Hela.

"Thank you."

Hela held the cup on the table with both hands and thanked Roland softly.

Roland sat opposite her and slowly drank a few sips of juice.

Then he glanced at Hela in front of him and spoke casually.

"what happened?"

Hela rubbed her hands together, feeling a little embarrassed. Roland put down the cup and looked at Hela, watching her silently.

Under Roland's gaze, Hela hesitated for a while, and finally chose to speak.

"I think I'm a little too selfish."

"Oh? Why do you suddenly feel that way?"

Roland raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Hela's body with some surprise, and his tone was slightly surprised.

"that."

Hela felt a little embarrassed. She lowered her head and suddenly changed the topic. She spoke in a low voice.

"Do you think I helped Sofia?"

"I think so."

Roland replied.

"Actually, I just thought about letting Sophia's surface mind win."

"Because, in this way, Sofia will be as obedient as she has been during this period."

Hela said quietly.

"So, do you regret this?"

Looking at Hela who lowered her head, Roland said thoughtfully.

".No."

Hela shook her head.

"why?"

Roland stopped what he was doing and asked Hela.

"I just realized that the reason I helped Sophia was not just because I sympathized with her situation. It was out of my own selfish thoughts. I hoped that Sophia could become my friend and satisfy my inner satisfaction. During this period of time, I often imposed some things on Sophia in order to satisfy my own ideas, to satisfy my vanity and sense of superiority."

"My help is not simple. Although Sophia is in a difficult situation, I know that there are many people in this world who are worse off than her. At least she is still alive."

"No matter how miserable the fallen nobles are, they are better off than ordinary civilians. I am also a commoner, but I did not help them. Instead, I chose to help Sophia to satisfy my own selfish desires."

“I am a selfish person.”

Hela lowered her head and whispered while biting her lower lip.

"so what?"

Roland sighed and soothed calmly.

"It's not shameful to be selfish. Everyone has selfish desires. Hela, you are not a saint, and you don't need to become one. Besides, you haven't hurt anyone. Doing good deeds for self-satisfaction is already a good deed."

"You are not obliged to help others. It is your freedom to help anyone you want."

“This is how the world is. There are too many people suffering. Hela, you can’t help everyone by yourself. If you encounter any problems, help if you want to. Do your best. Don’t feel burdened. Their suffering is not your responsibility.”

Hela raised her head and looked at Roland.

She opened her mouth and asked.

"how about you?"
