“Well, you don’t have to worry too much about this village. Such things are bound to happen. It is only a matter of time. The villagers might have a simple heart, but the Bewitching Spell is still within them. They cannot be with other people at night.” Uncle Nine expressed his gratitude to Shen Yanxiao. He had a favorable impression of the young but prudent guy.
“You don’t have to worry about the Bewitching Spell.” Shen Yanxiao smiled. The Bewitching Spell must have been a combination curse. She did not know how to use the spell, but the combination was similar to the Illusion Construct, and she had mastered the essence of the Illusion Construct. She could remove the Bewitching Spell as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.
“Leave it to me. I promise that all of them will return to their normal self.” When it came to curses, Shen Yanxiao was confident about her skills.
Uncle Nine was surprised as well. He looked at Shen Yanxiao, who beamed with confidence, as he was unsure of her words.
“Only an advanced level warlock can remove the Bewitching Spell. As far as I know, very few warlocks can be found in the entire Brilliance Continent.” It was a good thing that the kid wanted to help. However, he must make sure that she knew the gravity of the matter.
Shen Yanxiao stroked her chin. She had no idea if she had progressed to the advanced level, but she believed she should be able to handle the matter.
“I am a warlock. As for my level… Well, I am not sure yet. Why don’t you let me have a go at it? There aren’t any other options anyway.”
Uncle Nine stared at Shen Yanxiao. He could not believe that the kid was a warlock.
He thought that everyone in the Brilliance Continent had hated warlocks since a long time ago. Why would a young kid learn to be a warlock?
Uncle Nine knew that he could not turn down Shen Yanxiao’s gracious offer, so he gathered all the surviving villagers.
After the massacre, only about fifty villagers survived. Every one of them was still terrified. Their homes, relatives, and friends had been destroyed right before their very eyes, so their hearts were heavy with sorrow.
Uncle Nine did not want them to find out about their true identity, so he only told them that Shen Yanxiao would heal their wounds.
Shen Yanxiao tried the spell for the first time, and she managed to remove the Bewitching Spell from a villager. Then, after an entire day, she had removed the Bewitching Spell from all the villagers.
She gave Uncle Nine the map to the casino near Saint Laurent Academy. She also left behind some potions and gold coins for them. She wanted to return to the Saint Laurent Academy as soon as possible.
After she had completed her task with the spell, the Vermillion Bird informed her that she had been away from the academy for one month and 27 days.
She had only three days left before the inter-academy tournament started!!
Shen Yanxiao nearly lost her mind. It would take her at least ten days to get back to the academy. As for her agreement with the Crippled Elder on the return date, he must have gone back to the Black City as well.
She could not run back on her two legs, could she?!
Even if she could, the inter-academy tournament would have ended already!
“Vermilion Bird, let’s make a deal.”
Dejected and depressed, Shen Yanxiao had crouched at a corner in the room. She felt sorry for herself.
Suddenly, she dragged the Vermilion Bird toward her. She was thrilled with the plan that she had in her mind. She squinted her eyes maliciously as she stared at the fair Vermilion Bird.
