Chapter 3655

There is no answer to this question for the time being, and the so-called "Love Spell" that the woman gave to Xia De this afternoon is both a ritual and a curse.

If it is not a sorcerer, one can exert its power by arranging rituals, but the effect is weaker than the curse mastered by a sorcerer. That's why the woman's "Love Spell" back then could possibly be resisted by the Earl's family heirloom.

This power is quite ancient, and the text recorded on the parchment is even unrecognizable to anyone except the Outsider. This thing is likely the original copy of the magic spell that "Mr. Snake" gave her, and it is the preservation of the fate secret art that has been passed down since the truly ancient era.

After returning to the ship, Xia De translated the content on the parchment and told Bella and Lu Lu Weiya. The two witch diviners gave the same view:

"The essence of this spell is to manipulate fate. In the current era, curse strange arts that directly manipulate fate have almost become extinct. This kind of supernatural power often has a huge and unknowable cost of use.

We even suspect that the power recorded on this parchment is the prototype of the 'Love Curse' in many ancient legends, and it is the preservation of the most ancient fate divine art."

Even though they saw that Xia De had no intention of learning this at all, Bella and Lu Lu Weiya still warned him:

"Do not master this power under any circumstances. Getting contaminated with it is equivalent to taking the initiative to touch fate. This spell can directly bind the fate of two people in the form of love, which is extremely domineering and has a very high degree of compulsion. This is a power that should have been buried in the past long ago. That snake giving ordinary people this kind of thing is completely ill-intentioned."

"You know, the love I get is all by myself... you two know this very well."

The witch diviners all laughed, and Lu Lu Weiya said again:

"Although the woman used a ritual when casting the spell, the power of the magic spell would be greatly weakened, but we suspect that the treasure of the locals might not be able to completely resist the power of the spell. Perhaps it can offset a part of it, but the affection that the Viscount still retains for that woman is probably no longer pure. The original love is mixed with the forced fate binding, which is very terrible."

That's why Xia De thought that there might be other reversals in the matter, but this reversal could not be seen for the time being:

He asked:

"If the fate of the Viscount and this Miss Feilian is connected because of this ancient spell, can you start from the Viscount and use the connection of fate to find Miss Feilian again?"

Bella hesitated:

"Theoretically, it is possible. Such a strong and ancient fate chain cannot have no trace at all. Coupled with the fact that Flora can start from the two corpses to confirm her soul characteristics, this is enough for precise positioning of the true body."

Xia De asked again:

"Is there any way to break this 'Love Spell'?"

Lu Lu Weiya shook her head:

"Even if you go to President Lenorman, he will definitely shake his head. This is the most primitive and simple spell, a power that should have been buried before the old days. The essence of this spell is not to use supernatural power to forcibly maintain a certain state, but to change fate. If you want to break this power, compared to finding us, you should find Miss Writer for help."

"Why? Related to the power of space?"

The Countess of Moon Bay explained:

"Although most fairy tales and legends are false, some stories still contain ancient and mysterious power. Perhaps in some ancient legends about love, the way to break those ancient spells will be recorded in a metaphorical way. Of course, the possibility that you can really find them is almost equal to zero in terms of probability.

However, what do you need to break the spell for? Even if you help that Viscount in the wheelchair lift the spell, it doesn't seem to have any impact on the current situation. Or, are you just simply wanting to verify why his love is so long-lasting?"

"I always have a feeling that if I don't figure out all the puzzles in this matter, this act of the story will definitely not be complete."

Xia De said, and then took out the pitch-black 【Fool】 arc:

"Look, besides 【Breeding】, I have one more arc here. This is what I tore off from a complete ring of fate. I am considering whether to keep it or use it to go to the top of the mountain again."

"【Fool】 is the one numbered 0 in the divination cards. This is a very special fate."

Bella said, took the arc and checked it, and then handed it to Lu Lu Weiya.

And as soon as Lu Lu Weiya touched it, the whole arc vibrated with a hum. Dazzling purple light replaced the black and lit up on the arc, or rather, because of Lu Lu Weiya's touch, the arc turned directly into a purple appearance.

"Is this resonance?"

Lu Lu Weiya asked Xia De suspiciously. After Xia De nodded in surprise and said "maybe," she frowned again:

"Me, the Fool?"

So this arc was temporarily left in Lu Lu Weiya's hands.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sun had not completely set, Xia De went to the old house of Viscount Fu De again and relayed what Miss Feilian said in the afternoon. Of course, he didn't go there mainly to pass a message, but at the request of Bella and Lu Lu Weiya, he quietly collected some of the Viscount's hair.

Coupled with the soul characteristics extracted by Flora and the necklace that was still in Xia De's hand as a token, the witch diviners could try to find a way to permanently locate the "Lover."

And when he returned home in the evening, Xia De unexpectedly found that Miss Writer was not there. However, on the cat nest under little Mia's paws looking at the square outside the window, there was Miss Writer's letter.

"Are you waiting for the pigeons to come back? When the weather gets warm, the pigeons in the square will fly back."

Xia De smiled and rubbed little Mia's head. After checking the letter, he knew that Lei Qianya had something urgent to ask Miss Writer for help, so Miss Writer left home at 4:30 and would probably be back at 7:00.

Miss Writer told Xia De to eat dinner by himself without waiting for her. Xia De glanced at the kitchen:

"Mia, do you object if we go out to eat?"

The cat stood up lazily and meowed. After eating dinner, Xia De stood under the street lamp on the side of Silver Cross Avenue and looked at the street illuminated by the street lamp. He was hesitating whether to take little Mia to Professor Manning's place.

Finally, he left the cat at home.

Today is Monday. The old professor living in Cat Tail Alley in the university district naturally has no outing plans at night. Seeing Xia De visit, he was very surprised:

"Why, are you going to participate in the private wine party of history professors at the end of the month?"

Xia De shook his head:

"Someone asked me to deliver a letter to you. It is a folklore professor living in the Principality of Lagerson. The other party encountered some problems when citing your work."

Professor Manning let Xia De sit down and talk, and asked the servant to make tea:

"How could you do this kind of errand?"

The old professor asked with a smile, Xia De hesitated and decided to tell the truth:

"I... have a very good relationship with the other party's daughter."

Professor Manning raised an eyebrow, but didn't say much.

Professor Reinhardt stated his problem very clearly in the letter. After reading the letter, Professor Manning understood the other party's problem. So he asked Xia De to wait in the living room, and he went to the study to write a simple reply for Xia De to take back.

After sitting down again, Professor Manning said to Xia De, who was holding a teacup:

"Are you going to participate in the wine party at the end of the month? It's this week. This time, all the best history scholars and folklore scholars in the country are invited. Getting to know these people will be very useful for you."

Xia De knew that Professor Manning was doing this for his own good:

"I'm really sorry, I've been very busy on Schluch Lake recently, I'm not sure I can spare the time."

"It's okay, I'll give you the invitation, you can go if you have time."

"Since there is a wine party at night, then the daytime is a lecture and discussion meeting? What is the theme this time? Like the one before the Year-End Festival, is it still a discussion on northern folklore?"

Xia De asked while taking the invitation from the professor, and Professor Manning said:

"This time it is sponsored by the History Department of Tobesk University, about the research on ancient tombs in the early Old Continent. The focus is on the characteristics of the tombs of the royal families of various countries scattered in the north of the Old Continent before the Cavendish royal family unified the north.

You know, in the era of the unification war, the tombs of the royal families of those ancient kingdoms were destroyed quite seriously. Now once such ancient tombs are discovered, the official attitude is still more protection than excavation, so this topic mainly focuses on those tombs that have already been excavated."

Xia De nodded, this has nothing to do with his current encounter.

"Then Xia De, have you encountered any fresh things on that southern island? Although I have been to many places when I was young, I have never been to such a remote place. I have heard of the indigenous people called locals on that island. Their lifestyle and customs are very interesting, right?"

There was nothing to do tonight, and Miss Writer would not be home for another hour, so Xia De didn't mind chatting with Professor Manning. He held the teacup and talked about what he saw and heard on the island, talked about the grand occasion of the All Souls' Festival, and of course did not forget to introduce Professor Reinhardt again:

"Professor Reinhardt went to the island to study the folklore of the locals when he was young, and later married a local girl and settled there. However, the island is not peaceful at all now. I am still paying attention to the negotiations on the island. You know, war is approaching."

So the young man and the old man sighed at the same time, and Professor Manning also picked up his teacup:

"Although I am retired, I often go to school to walk around. Most of the young people now are very extreme, and there are far more people who support war than those who oppose it. When I was a child, I heard stories about the last North-South War from my great-grandfather. I didn't expect that I would experience war again in my old age."

The professor knew that Xia De had a good relationship with the royal family, but he didn't ask Xia De any questions about this:

"Have you encountered any difficulties that need my help recently? I can't sit still at home when I'm old. Except for writing memoirs, the knowledge and experience in my head should always be put to some use."

Xia De felt that Professor Manning's memoirs would definitely be very exciting and interesting if they could be written completely. However, he didn't want to discuss topics like memoirs in front of the old man, and then he thought of the afternoon's events:

"Speaking of which, there is really one thing I need to ask you. Professor Manning, have you heard of the kind of magic spell in stories that can force two people to fall in love?"

The black cat raised by the professor jumped over from the coffee table, ran to Xia De and rubbed against him, then curled up on the sofa.

Professor Manning drank tea again:

"Of course I've heard of it. Whether it's ancient legends or modern romance novels, love spells are always very interesting plots."

"Then do you know how to break this kind of magic spell?"

Xia De asked again. In fact, he knew very well that Professor Manning couldn't give much useful information, after all, the professor was just an ordinary person. But unexpectedly, after Xia De finished asking, the professor nodded with a melancholy face while holding the teacup:

"This, I might really know."
