Chapter 2516: Spirit Clarifying Agent and New Night Class

"Simply put, it's 'Blessing Potion', but I prefer to call it 'Spirit Clarifying Agent'. It can permanently purify the soul. It won't increase the power of the soul, but will improve the quality of the soul. I don't know how much you know about the soul. Increasing soul power is simple, purifying the soul is difficult."

Xia De only remembered the evaluation he received in the "Sin Mansion", besides the number of sins—

【Complete Soul (Powerful·Flawless·Holy·Balanced·Dark)】 (Chapter 699)

The priest said and stuffed the small test tube into Xia De's hand:

"This is the most complex potion I have made so far, and making this magic potion itself requires time. I know your soul is incomparably powerful, but besides purifying the soul, it can also purify the curse entangled in the soul. This should be useful to you."

"Yes."

Xia De nodded, and asked suddenly:

"You know the time curse, is this magic potion effective against the time curse?"

The priest thought for a while:

"Effective, but it depends on how strong the curse is. Thoroughly eradicating the time curse, just relying on this magic potion is definitely not enough, but permanently slowing down the effect of the curse should be possible. Of course, you have to let the other party use it to know the real effect."

He could see that there was no curse on Xia De, so Xia De praised with a smile:

"Priest, you can even brew this kind of magic potion? Too amazing."

Since it couldn't be thoroughly eradicated and there was only one copy, he planned to put away the magic potion and give it to the two ladies when needed.

"It's nothing. I brewed two copies. I used one myself when I was promoted to the middle ring, and the other one is for you. But you must be vigilant. Even if this magic potion can purify the curse, it is not omnipotent. Don't think that you can be foolproof after having this... You have always been cautious. Among the five of us, you are the one I least need to worry about."

Xia De thanked the old priest again.

"The change after the priest went to Moon Bay is really big."

Saturday night is the night class time as usual. It's just that in the past month, the "lazy" girls, although they continued to date Xia De, didn't have many classes.

Now that the Month of Harvest is already halfway through, this Saturday, Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya are finally ready to continue their weekly classes with Xia De.

After the writer lady sat down opposite the desk this Saturday night, she asked Xia De, who was under the gas desk lamp, what fairy tale he wanted to learn this time:

"It used to be us helping you choose, this time you choose it yourself? The higher the level of ring warlocks, the stronger the inspiration. I want to see what kind of fairy tale you can choose for yourself."

Saying that, she looked at Little Mia lying lazily on the desk, guessing that Xia De would choose a fairy tale related to cats.

But she guessed wrong. Xia De didn't know much about ancient fairy tales of this world before, but he had learned enough in a year:

"【Crystal Light】."

This was the story recorded on the stone slab that he helped the mysterious elf in the forest get from the black market not long ago.

Dorothy raised her eyebrows:

"That elf fairy tale about greed, eternity, and desire?"

She nodded slowly:

"Good choice, but this is not a widely circulated story. Compared with Cinderella, Mermaid Princess, and Tree Kiss that we learned before, it is incomparable."

"Did you think of this fairy tale because of... Princess Lei Qianya's crystal shoes?"

Even if it wasn't because of this, Xia De couldn't tell the truth at this time:

"Yes, it's because of this."

He faced the green eyes of the blonde girl that were shining:

"I don't have that kind of unique hobby of collecting shoes, but I have to admit that Princess Lei Qianya's and your foot shapes are really..."

"Stop talking, otherwise this night class won't be able to continue again."

The writer lady, whose face was red, said hurriedly, and then looked at her pocket watch:

"Let's have class first. I will explain to you the current mainstream versions of the fairy tale 【Crystal Light】. After 9:30... you can do whatever you want."

Although 【Crystal Light】 also belongs to ancient fairy tales that can provide power to ring warlocks, it itself is not widely circulated. Therefore, neither Dorothy nor Princess Lei Qianya has mastered the miracles related to this fairy tale.

However, the princess and the writer lady are both diligent girls, so they know that the most famous miracle related to this fairy tale is 【Crystal Touch】.

This is a standard high-ring miracle, and the effect of the miracle is to irreversibly transform life into "crystal", just like the elf turned into crystal by the traveling merchant at the end of the story.

This kind of "transformation" belongs to a type of human transformation technique. Its irreversibility means that once the resistance is not enough, it is basically equivalent to a one-hit kill.

But "crystal resistance" belongs to a branch of "petrification resistance", and this kind of "crystallization" is weaker than the soul crystal state caused by Xia De's miracle "Love God's Thorn".

Therefore, the only advantage of the miracle 【Crystal Touch】 in Xia De's view is that the crystal produced by this miracle has the characteristic of being close to "eternity". As long as it is not destroyed by external force, time cannot damage it in the slightest.

In the early days of the Sixth Era when the "dominance" of the Five Gods Church was not so strong, there were quite a few ring warlocks with strange personalities who liked to use this miracle to turn living people into crystals and collect them.

"This kind of person is really too perverted."

"But it is very good for preserving corpses. If the princess poisoned by the stepmother was cast with this miracle, there would be no story of the prince kissing the corpse... Xia De, if I or Princess Lei Qianya..."

"Dorothy, I don't want to assume that you die in front of me."

"I'm just thinking, we were turned into eternally beautiful crystals, and you touched our frozen faces and lips with your hands. What a heartbreaking scene that would be~"

"Hmm... Dorothy, you didn't read those books confiscated from Angelina, did you?"

Princess Lei Qianya and Dorothy planned to try to learn the miracle 【Crystal Touch】 themselves. Although they were only at the seventh ring now, the power brought by the Chosen One was a qualitative change.

And although they didn't know much about this fairy tale, they still had the confidence to teach Xia De well. Dorothy called this "learning together", and Princess Lei Qianya thought that if Xia De learned better, she didn't mind calling Xia De "teacher".

Xia De felt that the writer lady was referring to something else.

In short, the weekend at home was still reassuring. And by early Sunday morning, when eating breakfast, Galina brought the maid ladies to the door:

"How did you talk to Flora yesterday?"

The red-haired duchess couldn't wait to ask as soon as she sat at the dining table. Dorothy, who was sitting beside Xia De, couldn't help but show a smile, and Xia De said:

"She said: Xia De Hamilton, you wouldn't want others to know about you and Galina, would you?"

Dorothy covered her mouth and laughed even more happily, but the smile on the red-haired witch's face disappeared:

"Oh? Did Flora threaten you?"

"No, no."

Xia De petted the cat and explained the conversation from yesterday:

"She just wanted me to help her do some things, and the reward she offered was quite generous.

However, she said at the time that if I really maintained friendships with many witches, she might just go and report it to Miss Isabella directly, so in the end, I didn't mention any witches other than you."

"Is that so~"

The smile on Galina Cavendish's face still had not returned:

"Xia De, didn't you see that she was playing tricks on you?

First, she said she had a way to threaten you, then she said she wouldn't threaten you, and finally, she proposed that you help her. Although the reward is reasonable, I am very clear about her rhetoric.

And how do you know that after you help her, she won't immediately go and tell the Speaker about your affairs?"

"Because she can't beat you, nor can she beat Miss Dannister."

Galina was very pleased with this statement:

"An eleventh-tier witch should look like an eleventh-tier witch; I am a twelfth-tier."

Then, thinking of Vanessa, who was about to arrive locally, she became unhappy again:

"Then don't tell Flora for now. Since she said that, then when everyone's business is finished, we'll see if Grandmother Cassandra has time. When the time comes, seven witches will go to block her door together, and I'll see what she dares to say."

"I feel that Miss Winslet shouldn't be that kind of bad person; after all, I saved her."

But Xia De did not object to letting Galina bring people to talk to her when the time came. Now that the majority of the Witch Council stood by his side, he no longer needed to be as timid as before.

"I've wanted to ask since just now..."

Dorothy suddenly said, putting down her knife and fork to look at Xia De:

"Just now Galina called her Flora, and you said she was Miss Winslet... So, the witch you met is named Flora Winslet?

Is she that musician from Kassenrick? The one whose representative work is 'Nocturne of the Maine River', and who also wrote 'Breakfast in Languedoc' as a writer?"

"Yes, do you know her?"

Xia De asked curiously.

"I haven't met her, but it was because I read her books that I embarked on the path of a writer."

Dorothy was greatly surprised:

"So Miss Flora Winslet is actually a witch too?

Her rise to fame was far earlier than mine. I came into contact with her early literary works when I was still studying at the girls' middle school, and I can be said to have watched her writing mature step by step.

Do you know? She is very good at depicting the imagery of 'death', especially skilled at using the imagery of 'death' in writing to describe the growth and changes of characters. This is not the low-level means of deliberately using tragedy to stir up readers' emotions; she is truly profoundly interpreting life and death."

As she spoke, she recited a short classic passage that Xia De had not read:

"【The wind gently brushes the treetops of the cemetery, Maria gazes at the starry sky in the distance. On the journey of life, death follows like a shadow, but just like the stars twinkling in the starry sky, although they are unreachable, they are an inescapable covenant of fate.

Thus the sorrowful woman put down the bouquet in her hand, looked at the lonely pale tombstone before her for the last time, and then turned and left resolutely—

She accepted death, bid farewell to death; this was her last time coming here.】"
