Chapter 46 46. Youth
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
In the private dining room of Fulin Castle, Evelin lazily leaned back in her chair, swaying the silver wine glass in her hand.
"Hello, Lord Evelyn." Xiqi bowed deeply to Evelyn, and looked at Evelyn's perfect face quietly. She is obviously Lord Lovey's mother, but she looks like a brother and sister, so young that people are jealous. "I am the daughter of the merchant Riley. I need your help because I have been cursed by the aging minister."
"Riley? I've met her, she's a very nice person." Evelyn put down her glass and smiled kindly. As her son said, this was a big deal.
Her little treasury really needs to be replenished!
"Child, let me take a closer look at you. Sit closer."
This sentence was very awkward, spoken by a woman who looked like a young girl to an old woman.
Xiqi stood up and sat in the seat closest to Evelin, and suddenly felt a heavy pressure enveloping her body.
Evelin frowned, “It seems like you provoked a troublesome guy. What’s going on?”
"At my birthday party when I was thirteen, I met a witch passing by my house. She said that my beauty could easily bring disaster to others. So she cast a curse on me. Only those who truly love me can see my true appearance." Xiqi brought up the incident again.
“Indeed, I don’t deny your beauty.” Evelin nodded slightly.
Xiqi's face was indeed impeccable. She had short purple-black hair, delicate features, and a cool and neutral beauty.
If it's just a small favor, there's no big deal in helping.
But people who can blind their senses for a long time are very difficult to deal with! Evelin didn't want to provoke a powerful enemy for no reason. Her brows tightened unconsciously, and she was hesitant.
"If you are willing to help me lift the curse, my mother is willing to pay three thousand gold coins." As soon as Xiqi opened her mouth, the figure was an astronomical figure.
Evelin’s heart moved, but she didn’t show much expression on the surface: “Child, it’s not that I won’t help you. Do you know what level of strength the person who can issue such a curse has?”
"It might be a spellcaster from the Holy Land!" Xiqi bit her lip and said unwillingly.
This is a powerful being that can rival a real dragon. With the ability of the caster, it is enough to destroy a village or town.
It is rumored that many high-level spellcasters are mentally ill. Once you get into a causal dispute with these abnormal strong men, it is likely to be a situation of life and death.
Therefore, many spellcasters who clearly have the ability to change her situation are unwilling to take over.
“Please, I’ll agree to any condition you give me.” Xiqi knelt in front of Evelin, tears streaming down her face.
"Why do you want to change? In fact, it may not be a bad thing for you to do what that person says." Evelyn gently stroked Xiqi's smooth hair.
If an ordinary person feels it, he would feel like touching rough thatch.
For her, there would be no sense of deception. That person's strength was not enough to deceive her. This was also the source of Evelin's confidence.
"I also want to enjoy my youth. But no one will fall in love with me like this. Even ordinary people will feel disgusted, and I will feel disgusted with myself. What did I do wrong?" Xiqi cried.
“Okay, I’ll find a way to reduce the difficulty for you.” Evelin’s mind moved, and she thought of a solution.
"Will you help me?" Xiqi rubbed her eyes.
"For this kind of curse, I can't be sure if the person has left any tricks, so the best way is to wait for the curse to disintegrate naturally. I can think of a way to speed up the disintegration of the curse." Evelyn looked at the hope in Xiqi's eyes and said what she wanted to hear most, "If the curse fades, you will look younger."
"How old can I recover to?" Xiqi asked anxiously.
“Take it step by step. Do you want to try it first?” Evelin smiled faintly.
"Yes!" Xiqi nodded vigorously.
“Please wait a moment.” Evelin motioned for Xiqi to stay here, and she got up and went upstairs.
"Mom!" Lodel walked into the restaurant at this time.
“Miss Xiqi and I have something to do, so don’t neglect the guests.” Evelin reminded.
The magic warehouse is at the corner of the fifth floor. This is a room that outsiders cannot see, and it stores the secret weapons that Evelyn has collected throughout her life.
Some are obtained through adventures, some are inherited from Duke Dafen, and some are obtained through transactions like a magic carpet.
Every secret weapon is a treasure that Evelyn values so much that she would rather starve to death than sell them.
With her eyes closed, Evelyn pushed open the door disguised as a stone wall and walked into the room. She groped in the dark and found the window. When the sun came in, she searched around the room.
First he took some materials from the wooden cabinet, and then he found a pair of white gloves in the wooden box.
That was about it. Evelin nodded to herself and returned to the restaurant.
Laudel was eating white bread and drinking wine, and there was a hot steak on the table that had not been eaten yet.
Evelyn did not shy away from Lodel, and asked the servant to bring a basin of water, put the dry branches into the water, and put on the gloves.
"The branches of the lightning-struck wood have the effect of removing negative mental force fields." Of course, what is more important is the purification gloves on her hands. In order to avoid being noticed, Evelyn did not explain at all and motioned Xiqi to move her face closer.
Lodel couldn't help but slow down his eating and drinking, staring at Evelyn as she scooped up a handful of water and splashed it on Xiqi's face.
Xiqi let out a scream, and a faint black mist spread from her face.
Next, an incredible scene happened.
Time seemed to have gone back more than ten years, and Xiqi became younger.
"No way." Lodel's eyes widened, having a bad feeling.
Evelin then repeated the previous action several times, and Xiqi’s appearance became younger again and again.
“Almost done.” Evelin stopped and slowly took off her gloves, “Miss Xiqi, do you want to see a mirror?”
"Thank you." Xiqi touched her face tremblingly, and the terrible feeling of wrinkles was gone!
Evelyn's servant brought a bronze mirror from outside. Xiqi picked up the mirror with both hands and stared blankly for a long time.
"Lord Evelyn, how old do I look now?"
"About forty to fifty years old."
"Please, can you make me younger? Thirty is great!"
"I'm sorry, but we've run out of materials. The effects will diminish with each use. We need to purchase additional high-quality materials," Evelyn said, holding up the shelf.
Xiqi certainly understood such an obvious hint, and immediately said, "Please purchase the materials as soon as possible. I am willing to pay any price."
About ten minutes later, she asked someone to deliver a few bags of gold coins.
Evelyn didn't even look at it, and told the servants to take Xiqi away to rest.
