Chapter 2561: Spiritual Elixir and New Night Class
"To put it simply, it's a 'blessing potion', but I prefer to call it a 'spiritual potion'. It can purify the soul permanently. It won't increase the power of the soul, but it will increase the quality of the soul. I don't know how much you know about the soul. It's easy to increase the power of the soul, but it's difficult to purify the soul."
Xia De only remembered the evaluation he received in the "Mansion of Sin" at that time. In addition to the number of sins he committed, there was also -
[Complete Soul (Powerful·Flawless·Holy·Balanced·Dark)] (Chapter 699)
The priest said as he stuffed the small test tube into Shad's hand:
"This is the most complicated potion I have ever made, and making this potion itself takes a lot of time. I know your soul is extremely powerful, but in addition to purifying the soul, it can also cleanse the curse that entangles the soul. This may be useful to you."
"Yes."
Xia De nodded, and suddenly asked:
"You know about the time curse, right? Is this potion effective against the time curse?"
The priest thought for a moment:
"It's effective, but it depends on how strong the curse is. This potion alone cannot completely eradicate the time curse, but it should be able to permanently slow down the effect of the curse. Of course, you have to let the other person use it to know the true effect."
He could see that there was no curse on Xia De, so Xia De smiled and praised him:
"Priest, you can even brew this kind of potion? That's amazing."
Since it couldn't be completely eradicated and there was only one copy, he planned to keep the potion and give it to the two ladies when they needed it.
"It's nothing. I brewed two. I'll use one when I'm promoted to the middle ring, and I'll give you the other. But be careful. Even if this potion can purify the curse, it's not a panacea. Don't think that you're completely safe with this. You've always been cautious. Among the five of us, you're the one I least need to worry about."
Shad then thanked the old priest again.
"The priest went to Moon Bay and saw a lot of changes."
Saturday night is usually the night class time, but in the past month, although the "lazy" girls continued to date Xia De, they hardly attended the class.
Now that the harvest month was already halfway through, Dorothy and Lesia were finally ready to resume their weekly lessons with Shad this Saturday.
They had all completed their respective promotions some time ago, and now they had all gained different insights into the elements of enlightenment. That evening, after Dorothy sat down across from the desk, she asked Shade, who was under the light of the gas lamp, what fairy tale she wanted to learn this time:
"We always helped you choose before, but you can choose this time? The higher the level of the ring sorcerers, the stronger their inspiration. I want to see what you can choose for yourself."
As he said this, he looked at Mia, who was lazily lying on the desk, and guessed that Xia De would choose a fairy tale about cats.
But she guessed wrong. Before, outsiders didn't know much about the ancient fairy tales of this world, but in a year he had learned enough:
"Crystal Light."
This is the story recorded on the stone tablet that was taken from the black market not long ago to help the mysterious elves in the woods.
Dorothy raised her eyebrows.
"That fairy tale about greed, eternity and desire?"
She nodded slowly:
“It’s a good choice, but this is not a widely circulated story. It can’t be compared with the Cinderella, the Mermaid Princess, and the Tree Kiss that we learned before.
How did you come up with this fairy tale? Was it because of Leicia's glass slipper? "
Even if it wasn't for this, Xia De couldn't tell the truth at this moment:
"Yes, that's why."
He met the blonde's sparkling green eyes:
"I don't have that unique hobby of collecting shoes, but I have to admit that your feet are really similar to Leixia's."
"Stop talking, or we won't be able to continue this evening class."
The red-faced Miss Writer said hurriedly, then looked at her pocket watch:
"Let's go to class first. I'll explain to you the current mainstream version of the fairy tale [Crystal Light]. After 9:30, you can do whatever you want."
Although "The Crystal Light" is also an ancient fairy tale that can provide power to ring wizards, just like what Dorothy introduced, it is not widely circulated. Therefore, neither Dorothy nor Leicia mastered the magic spells related to this fairy tale.
However, Her Royal Highness the Princess and the writer are both hard-working girls, so they know that the most famous magic related to this fairy tale is the [Crystal Touch].
This is a standard high-level magic, and the effect of the magic is to irreversibly transform life into "crystal", just like the elf who was turned into crystal by the traveling merchant in the story.
This kind of "transformation" is a kind of human body deformation. Its irreversibility means that if the resistance is not enough, it is basically equivalent to a one-shot kill.
But "crystal resistance" is a branch of "petrification resistance", and this kind of "crystallization" is much weaker than the soul crystallization state caused by Shad's magic "Thorns of Eros".
Therefore, the only advantage of the magic [Crystal Touch] in Shade's opinion is that the crystal created by this magic has a nearly "eternal" property. As long as it is not destroyed by external forces, time cannot damage it in the slightest.
In the early days of the Sixth Era, when the "rule" of the Five Gods Church was not yet so strong, there had appeared many eccentric ring sorcerers who liked to use this magic to turn living people into crystals and keep them.
"This kind of person is really perverted."
"But it is very good for preserving corpses. If the princess who was poisoned by her stepmother had been subjected to this magic, there would be no prince kissing the corpse. Shade, if it were me or Leicia..."
"Dorothy, I don't want to assume that you will die in front of me."
"I was just thinking, we were turned into eternally beautiful crystals, and you touched our frozen cheeks and breasts with your hands. What a heartbreaking scene that would be~"
"Well Dorothy, you didn't read those books that were confiscated from Ajelina, did you?"
Leicia and Dorothy plan to try to learn the magic [Crystal Touch] by themselves first. Although they are only at the seventh ring now, the power of the chosen ones can bring about a qualitative change.
Although they didn't know much about the fairy tale, they were still confident that they could teach Shad well. Dorothy called it "learning together", while Lesia thought that if Shad learned better, she wouldn't mind calling him "teacher".
Xia De felt that Miss Writer was referring to something else.
In short, the weekend at home was still reassuring. And when it was early Sunday morning, during breakfast, Carina came with the maids:
"How was your conversation with Flora yesterday?"
The Duchess asked impatiently as soon as she sat down at the table. Dorothy, who was sitting next to Shad, couldn't help but smile. Shad said:
"She said: Shad Hamilton, you don't want other people to know about your relationship with Carina, right?"
Dorothy covered her mouth and laughed even harder, but the smile on the red-haired witch's face disappeared immediately:
"Oh? Flora threatened you?"
"No no."
Xia De stroked the cat and explained the conversation yesterday:
"She just wanted me to do something for her, and the compensation she offered was quite generous.
But she said at the time that if I really maintained friendships with many witches, she might report it directly to Miss Isabella, so in the end I didn't tell anyone about the other witches besides you."
"That's it~"
The smile on Carina Cavendish's face still hadn't returned:
“Shad, don’t you see that she’s playing tricks on you?
First she said she had the means to threaten you, then she said she would not threaten you, and finally she asked for your help. Although the reward was reasonable, I knew her tactics very well.
And how do you know that after you help her, she won't immediately tell the Speaker about your situation?"
"Because she can't beat you, nor Miss Danister."
Karina found this sentence very useful:
"An eleventh-level witch should look like an eleventh-level witch. I am a twelfth-level witch."
Then he thought about Vanessa who was about to arrive and felt unhappy again:
"Then don't tell Flora for now. Since she said so, let's wait until everyone is done with their work and see if Grandma Cassandra has time. Then the seven witches will go and block her door together. I want to see what she dares to say."
"I feel like Miss Winslet isn't that kind of bad person. After all, I saved her."
But Shade had no objection to letting Carina bring people to talk to her when the time comes. Now that the majority of the Witch Council has stood by his side, he no longer has to be as timid as before.
“I’ve been wanting to ask this since a while ago.”
Dorothy suddenly said, putting down her knife and fork and looking at Shad:
“Just now, Carina called her Flora, and you said she was Miss Winslet. So, the witch you met was named Flora Winslet?
Is it the musician from Carsenrick, the one who wrote the "Maine River Nocturne" and also the author of "Breakfast at Langdales"?
"Yes, you know her?"
Shade asked curiously.
“I haven’t seen her, but it was because of her books that I embarked on the path of becoming a writer.”
Dorothy was surprised:
“So Miss Flora Winslet is also a witch?
She became famous much earlier than I did. I came into contact with her early literary works when I was studying in a girls' high school, and I watched her writing mature step by step.
Did you know that she is very good at depicting the image of 'death', and is particularly good at using the image of 'death' to describe the growth and changes of characters in her writing. This is not a cheap trick of deliberately using tragedy to mobilize readers' emotions. She really interprets life and death in a profound way. "
As he spoke, he recited a short passage of classic sentences that Xia De had not read:
"【The wind gently blew the treetops in the cemetery. Maria gazed at the starry sky in the distance. In the journey of life, death is always with us. But just like the twinkling stars in the sky, although they are out of reach, they are the inevitable appointment of fate.
So the sad woman put down the bouquet in her hand, looked at the lonely pale tombstone in front of her for the last time, and then turned away resolutely——
She accepted death and said goodbye to death. This was her last time here. 】"
