Chapter 2787: [Contract of Trembling]

~9 min read 1,793 words

Galina frowned slightly looking at that piece of paper, as if she remembered something, but she couldn't be sure yet. However, Luvia and Vanessa soon returned. Listening to the description of this relic, the purple-eyed divination lady immediately knew what it was:

"When I was training in the association, the information about the few Angel-level relics I came into contact with included this. This is the 【Contract of Trembling】. This thing is one of the few relics recognized as 'uncontainable'."

It usually appears randomly in books, disguising itself as a page in the book. And when the reader reads the book, once a distracting thought about 'I hope to get so-and-so' 'I am worried about so-and-so' appears in their heart, the contract will automatically be established.

Your fear will be deepened, but at the same time, once you overcome the fear, your craving will also be realized."

Luvia's purple eyes looked at Angelina, who had a cat squatting on her head. Angelina was sitting at the long dining table in the banquet hall:

"The problem that has appeared on her now is caused by this contract."

The red-haired little princess asked pitifully:

"Can I not want any wisdom? Is it true that as long as I overcome the personality of worrying about being ignored, I can return to my normal appearance."

Galina, who also remembered what this was, nodded:

"Theoretically speaking, this is the case. Angelina, your luck is still okay. If Lei Qianya hadn't brought Little Mia, we wouldn't be able to see you until now. You would only be more and more worried about being ignored in fear, until you disappear completely."

She was not intimidating Angelina. If an Angel-level relic didn't even have this power, it wouldn't be worthy of being Angel-level:

"Luvia's statement reminded me. This contract has a time limit. Luvia, I remember the time limit is 7 days, right?"

Luvia nodded:

"Yes, if the problem cannot be solved within seven days, then Angelina will remain in her current state forever. And the contract itself will turn into white ash, until one day, it appears in another book again.

So the Keepers of the association even believe that this relic itself is a concept, not an entity."

According to their statement, the way to solve the problem also corresponds to the value of the reward obtained later. "Overcoming one's own fear" can actually be solved through many methods, and even methods such as hypnosis and personality modification are feasible.

But taking shortcuts means very little gain. However, at least this is feasible. After all, the greatest danger of this relic is not solving the content of the contract, but realizing that one has signed the contract.

And since there was a way, Lei Qianya naturally wanted to rescue Angelina from this terrible state for the first time:

"Who among you is best at hypnosis or personality manipulation? Or should I take her to find Xiris who is still in Tobesk and let her implant a memory for Angelina?"

She looked at Galina and Vanessa with hope, and finally went to seek Xia De's opinion. But Angelina pulled Lei Qianya's sleeve, raised her head and said in a small but firm voice:

"Sister, since there is still a week, can you hypnotize me later."

Seeing everyone looking at her, Angelina gathered her courage and explained:

"I know this is dangerous, but I want to try to overcome the fear through my own method... Sister, you were right yesterday, I also need to grow, I can't always hide behind everyone.

Let me try first. If it really doesn't work, then solve it that way. And as long as Little Mia is on my head, I can also be seen by everyone, you don't have to worry about me."

Xia De looked at Lei Qianya, letting her make up her own mind. The red-haired princess pursed her lips and didn't speak for a long time, and finally looked at Galina. This made the Duchess very surprised. This was probably the first time Lei Qianya asked Galina for help because she was an elder.

So Galina Cavendish helped them make a decision:

"Angelina, we will give you five days. If you haven't solved your problem in five days, do as Lei Qianya said."

"Xiris can indeed solve this problem. She is good at manipulating memory, and she can also do short-term modification of personality. When the time comes, let Xiris help you."

Vanessa also said, and the little princess nodded immediately, and didn't forget to thank the witch of the earth very politely.

"But in this way, Angelina cannot stay in Tobesk."

Galina reminded on the side again:

"What is it like for her to walk around Yodel Palace with a cat on her head every day? And I think Little Mia will not be willing to stay away from Xia De every day."

"Can I stay in Vista Forest temporarily? I promise not to run around, and everything will be under Xia De's command!"

Angelina said again. Lei Qianya hesitated for a moment and nodded:

"I will let Dorothy watch you. Xia De, I also trouble you to let Little Mia work hard recently. After the matter is over, I will treat it to a big meal."

From beginning to end, no one wanted to explore why this cat's perception was more powerful than Xia De's, and why Angelina could be observed by everyone as long as it squatted on Angelina's head.

The performance of this cat during the Battle of Moon Bay had already let everyone know that it was very powerful. So as long as Xia De didn't mention it actively, the ladies wouldn't speculate about what Little Mia was at will.

In short, Angelina was arranged to live in the Radiant Messenger. As for her temporary departure from Tobesk, Galina would write to King Larrus III to explain the situation, and externally, she would use "Princess Angelina has a cold" as an excuse to explain her absence.

And although Lei Qianya was worried, she still returned to Yodel Palace quickly to help Angelina pack her luggage.

She didn't bother Grace and Helen again, but Xia De summoned a Chocobo. Riding the Chocobo to send her to the tree hole in the forest, after all, the lake where the ship was located was not far from there.

The two were riding a Chocobo each. On the short journey in the forest, Lei Qianya asked Xia De quite worriedly:

"Am I too harsh on Angelina usually?"

Xia De smiled:

"Usually strict with her, hoping she can become better. Once she has an accident, she starts to reflect on herself again. Lei Qianya, the relationship between you sisters is really interesting."

"That's my sister, I just care about her."

She really had very complicated feelings about this matter.

Xia De just sent Lei Qianya back to the tree hole and left. Lei Qianya and Dorothy had the ability to exchange items in their hands and even other parts, so the luggage would be sent directly in this way later.

But in this way, Angelina had no personal maids by her side. Although Galina could let her maids go to take care of her, Angelina really decided to take this opportunity to change herself, so she refused the maids.

Several witches were quite satisfied with her determination, while Xia De had always believed in Angelina's potential.

In the past where Lei Qianya might not exist, Angelina became a queen and suspected of unifying the entire Old Continent. This shows that what she lacks is not ability, but determination.

This afternoon, Grace and Helen sent Cassandra and Miss Swift's party over, but the sisters were still temporarily staying in Mid-Hill Castle, and would come again when Xia De needed them.

In this way, counting Flora, five great witches of Balance, Light, Darkness, Death, and Earth had gathered in Vista Forest.

According to convention, such a big event needs a banquet to welcome everyone before it starts. Originally, everyone wanted to hold a banquet on the Radiant Messenger, but Flora wanted to welcome everyone herself:

"This is my home court."

So she asked Miss Bell to book the banquet hall on the fourth floor of the Accordion Hotel that almost no one used very early, and found a chef locally to prepare the banquet dishes early.

This evening, after everyone had settled their luggage, Xia De went into the city with the witches.

Although Miss Danister had nothing to do with the witches, she still attended the banquet. This was not only because of the relationship between Flora and Xia De, but also because of Cassandra. The elderly witch had a distant relative relationship with her, and the two didn't say much during the rescue at Love Lake last time.

And when the banquet started, everyone was holding wine glasses and chatting, or making various jokes, the red-haired Duchess looked at the red-haired 18-year-old girl on the other side of the long table full of rich food with a scrutinizing look:

"When I was eighteen, I was much better looking than her... The hair color was also better looking than hers."

"What are you talking about?"

Miss Aurora, who was smiling on the side, asked. The great witch of Light with wavy brown hair was wearing a quite gorgeous golden dress today, and because she was the tallest among the witches of this generation, this made her even more charming:

"That is Xia De's teacher, do you think too much?"

She naturally saw what the Duchess was thinking, and Galina hummed as expected:

"Xia De has never had any resistance to young, beautiful, and red-haired girls like me. Look at his attitude towards Lei Qianya and Angelina, this is the evidence."

"This..."

Miss Aurora, holding champagne, looked at her friend, feeling that she was indeed too narcissistic sometimes.

However, Galina didn't continue to "criticize" Miss Danister there. The most important thing for her to attend this welcome banquet hadn't been done yet.

Soon, Miss Danister received news and left the hotel temporarily to pick up Emilia in the forest. So the Duchess, who had just pointed fingers at the female sorcerer, held a wine glass and found Flora who was talking to Xia De and Luvia.

"Miss Owl" knew the importance of today, and because of a certain degree of "vanity," she also dressed up specially, not losing to Miss Aurora.

Seeing Galina walking over, she originally wanted to greet her generously, and then saw the Duchess walking directly to Xia De's side, standing with Xia De facing her and showing a brilliant smile:

"Flora, it's really troublesome for you to take care of Xia De here during this time." ===== CHAPTER 2788 =====
