Hogwarts and the Holy Grail War
Page 130
Fortunately, the skill I just mastered can solve the curse on her, which is really great.
Although he had just mastered this skill and had never used it on anyone, he didn't know what would happen if something went wrong. But now the situation was urgent and he could no longer care about so much, so he had to bite the bullet and do it.
Logically speaking, as long as he treated the situation calmly, nothing should go wrong. But now it was Alana who was in trouble. When Ethan thought that if he made a mistake, something bad might happen, and he might even lose the girl's life, he inevitably felt a little panicked.
Damn it, stop shaking your hands!
"Okay, Ethan. Don't waste your energy on me. I know my physical condition well. It's too late."
Perhaps realizing that Ethan's healing speed was far slower than his own weakening speed, Alanna used her last bit of strength to gently say:
"But my sister should still be able to be saved. If we hurry over now, it will still be in time. From now on, I'll leave my sister in your care. Please take good care of her for me."
"Stop saying such discouraging things. You won't die. Who do you think I am? I will definitely cure you." Ethan interrupted Alana with a trembling voice, sweat on his palms.
The curse on Alanna was more stubborn than she thought, and she could only remove it slowly with her gentle method. If she tried to remove it quickly and used too drastic methods, her weak soul would not be able to bear it.
But the time it takes is also a problem. While she is separating, the curse has not stopped eroding her soul. If it takes too long, even if the curse can be successfully eradicated, her body and soul will be so weak that she will not be able to recover to her usual level, and she will be no different from a useless person!
"Ethan, there is something I should have told you a long time ago, but for various reasons, I have never been able to tell you directly." The girl lying in his arms raised her hand and touched his face with trembling hands, blushing and whispering:
"I like you, Ethan. I've loved you since the first time I saw you... If I knew things would turn out like this, I should have confessed to you earlier, regardless of the consequences. In the end, I have been hesitating until now. I really shouldn't have done that..."
"I know everything you said, and I like you, too." Ethan paused, and continued, "Maybe at first I was just nosy and trying to help you, or maybe it was just the concern between ordinary friends. But in the past six months of getting along with you, I found that I really did fall in love with you."
As Ethan was speaking, a glimmer of surprise suddenly flashed in his eyes. He could clearly feel that after hearing his confession, Alanna's originally weak soul actually became more solid, and the speed of the curse's erosion also slowed down.
"Human emotions are a powerful force in themselves"
Somehow, he suddenly remembered what Percival had said in the Pensieve.
That is to say, it is possible that Alanna, after her confession, generated a powerful force from this feeling. And this force was unconsciously used by her subconscious mind to nourish her weak soul and suppress the erosion of the curse, so she sensed this wonderful phenomenon. It seems to make sense to think this way.
If it was really as he thought, then as long as he could calm her mental state and say a few sweet words to make her happy, then maybe he could really suppress the erosion of the curse and give himself enough time to remove the curse from her soul.
As long as there is such a possibility, it is worth trying it yourself.
So Ethan no longer cared about the worry that he might die socially because of Xiao Mo's presence. Compared with Alanna's life, social death was nothing to him.
"Xiao Mo, help me take down the pendant and hang it on Alanna. I can't free my hands right now." Ethan thought for a moment and instructed Xiao Mo first.
The limited soothing magic that Xiao Mo had set on the pendant was no longer of much use to him. It would be better to give it to Alanna to make her mind more stable, which might buy him some more time.
"it is good."
Xiao Mo nodded slightly, with no emotion on his face. He just hung the pendant he made around Alana's neck according to Ethan's instructions, then withdrew his arm, squatted back on the ground, hung his head and said nothing.
Alanna could feel a warm current flowing through the pendant into her chest, and the slight panic she had felt due to the approaching death disappeared, leaving only calmness and tranquility.
Ethan also felt that the curse was eroding Alanna's soul at a slower rate, and he couldn't help but smile.
It seems that my guess was correct, this method does work!
Ethan continued to cast spells, and was thinking about how to say a few more sweet words to Alanna when Alanna spoke again:
"Ethan, since we like each other..."
The girl's eyes began to evade, a blush appeared on her face, and she asked tentatively: "So are we a couple now?"
"Always. I've treated you as my girlfriend for a long time." Ethan nodded heavily and continued to comfort Alanna:
"It was my fault for dodging the topic before. You are my irreplaceable girlfriend, and I will never avoid it again. So there is no need for you to be shy about this kind of thing in the future. Just admit our relationship openly."
"What a coincidence, me too. I've always considered you my boyfriend." The smile on Alanna's face gradually calmed down:
"I was a little worried that I was just being sentimental and that you only saw me as a sister or a good friend, without any extra thoughts. But now I finally know that I wasn't just wishful thinking, which is really great."
"Ethan, I've been really happy in the past six months since I met you. I wish it could continue like this."
"It will continue. We still have a long life ahead of us. Wait a little longer, I will be able to heal you soon. Please save your energy for now."
This was true. Ethan was almost able to remove the curse from Alanna's soul. He just needed to do one last step. He only needed two more minutes...
"Silly, stop comforting me at this time."
The girl did feel that her weakness was slowly disappearing, but she did not think that her condition was getting better. She thought that this was just her last burst of life, so she continued to make arrangements for her funeral while she was still in good condition:
"Ethan, you must think more about the consequences before you do anything in the future. You must never do anything reckless like you did in the past two days. Without me here, there might be no one to help you from behind..."
"I have brought my luggage from school back home. The address is... The key to the front door is in the right pocket of my coat. Insert it into the keyhole and turn it clockwise twice to unlock it. After you resolve the curse on my sister, you can take her back there to live..."
"My sister's personality is not as easy-going as mine. She is rather stubborn and does things recklessly. This may make you feel a little embarrassed. You must take good care of her and don't let her hurt herself again..."
"There is one last thing." After she explained a bunch of things, the girl paused and asked as if she had made up her mind:
"Ethan, what do you think of Cassandra?"
"What?" Ethan was having a hard time holding back his laughter because of the girl's "last words". He was stunned by this sudden change in the tone of the question. He frowned and asked in confusion.
"That's what I meant... What do you think of Cassandra? Do you like her or hate her?"
Alanna patiently advised, "Although Cassandra is a little arrogant and may be a little harsh to you, she is still a good person. It's just that she doesn't know how to express her kindness, which is why she is like this. As long as you are more tolerant and patient with her, and don't always think about exposing her in front of others and making her lose face, her attitude towards you will definitely improve."
"What are you talking about, Alanna?" Ethan asked with a question mark on his face, keenly sensing that the topic seemed to have gone a little off track.
"In fact, I have already vaguely realized that Cassandra should really like you, but she may not have realized her feelings yet, so she is still a little at a loss."
Alanna ignored Ethan's question and continued to speak: "Although I just said not long ago that you are not allowed to be with her, but if you can be with her, there is nothing wrong. You two...are actually quite a good match."
Ethan: ???
"No, what are you thinking about in your little head? Am I the kind of scumbag who is so heartless that he can immediately forget you and fall in love with someone else?" Ethan was a little amused. He really didn't expect that Alana had already planned who he would be with after his death.
What is this? Are you looking for a new boyfriend?
Aren’t you afraid that the little golden retriever will get angry if he knows you’ve become the one taking the blame?
"I really want to ask you to just forget about me, but I don't think you can do that, right?" Alana smiled. "As you said, you are not the kind of heartless person. I still have some confidence in this."
"Then stop saying such stupid things..."
"What if I tell you that I don't mind you finding another girlfriend?" Alana looked at Ethan with a burning gaze, an inexplicable light in her eyes. "You don't have to forget about me. Just think of it as finding another girlfriend, isn't that good?"
"Don't joke around at this point. I'm not that kind of person..."
"Okay, Ethan, stop pretending to be so reserved. I know what you guys are thinking: if conditions allow, who wouldn't want to enjoy the blessing of having two wives?"
In order to let Ethan put his worries aside and be with Cassandra at ease, Alanna decided to go all out and continued to give Ethan a lethal dose of reassurance:
"Actually, I don't mind having more sisters. I don't hate Cassandra. If it can make her happy, then we two can be your girlfriends together... It's not impossible... Just think of it as you dating two girlfriends at the same time, isn't it?"
The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and her cheeks became redder and redder. It was obvious how determined she was to say such shameful words in order to bring Ethan and her best friend together.
But these words sounded different to Ethan. If Alana wasn't too weak, he would definitely ask her if she was awake.
You are so lucky to have a sister... You little girl have quite advanced ideas... ahem, radical.
Although this is very tempting to him...but even if both of us have no objection, do you think that little tsundere Cassandra would agree?
With her personality, I'm afraid if you dare to mention this in front of her, she will immediately curse and send herself down to accompany you.
"Ethan, if you don't say anything, I'll take it as your agreement, right? You two must be happy together in the future and live a good life together..."
"I really like you, Ethan. I really want to be with you forever..."
The girl's voice became weaker and weaker, her eyes slowly closed, and her raised hand fell down weakly.
"Alanna, Alanna?" Ethan stopped what he was doing and gently called the girl's name. After hearing the girl's even breathing in his arms, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and smiled with relief:
"The little girl is sleeping soundly."
He had finally finished the task at hand. The curse had now been completely removed from Alanna's body and completely destroyed by his own means.
Alanna was just a little weak from the curse, so she fell into a deep sleep and began to recover her strength. This situation was only temporary, and she did not become a sleeping beauty who could not wake up unless the curse was lifted. She only needed to slowly recover her strength and spirit, and she would wake up naturally.
It was also the first time that Ethan felt grateful for the power he possessed.
The root cause of most tragedies in this world is the lack of ability of the parties involved. Although this sentence is a bit childish, it is absolutely true. If I don't have this power, I can only watch Alanna being eroded by the curse and die without being able to do anything.
It's really great to be able to save your loved one instead of being unable to do anything.
"Master."
Xiao Mo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised his head and looked at Ethan dimly:
"what are you thinking?"
-
It's Qipao Xiaomo, but the AI runs a little weird...
Chapter 235 Xiao Mo applies to join the group chat "Loving Family"
"What do you think?"
Ethan frowned and looked at Xiao Mo in confusion.
The rebellious knight had been in a bad mood since the beginning. His reaction to the situation just now was too calm and unnatural. It was like the calm before the storm. Although it was calm on the surface, the suppressed storm could erupt at any time.
Could it be that because he was fed a lethal amount of dog food, this single dog became a little depressed and planned to drag himself to self-destruct?
Don't do that! I just officially established a relationship with my girlfriend, and I finally pulled her back from the brink of death. I want to continue to love her for the rest of my life. How can I be killed by a single dog here?
"That's what she just said," Xiao Mo looked straight at Ethan and said in a faint voice, "This is equivalent to agreeing to let you start a harem. Master, don't you feel the slightest bit moved?"
Alanna's words just now not only caused a great stir in Ethan's heart, but also shook Xiao Mo like a bolt of thunder in the blue.
She knew clearly in her heart that she had fallen in love with her young Master in the past two days. Perhaps it was because of the psychological suggestion brought by the dream, or perhaps she found in him the feeling of family that she had always dreamed of.
But no matter what the reason was, she really liked him, and she had no doubts about her feelings. She could even say that the Master's position in her heart was almost as high as her father's.
But she also knew that she was too late, his Master already had someone in his heart, and she had no chance of turning the tables in this relationship. If Ethan was forced to choose between her and Alanna, he would definitely not choose her.
So she decided to keep this feeling in her heart, and continue to get along with the Master as a friend and family member. As long as she could be by his side, she would be satisfied.
As for giving up the Master and finding someone else... She didn't plan to do that. It was almost impossible to find someone who could get along with her like the Master. If it wasn't him, then anyone else would just be a compromise for her. Maybe there would be someone better than him, but that was not what she wanted.
Whether it was the Sword Lancer incident or the Holy Grail War, why was my reaction always one step late?
But Alanna's words just now once again aroused her already dormant thoughts.
If she were one of the options in a single-choice question, then she would definitely not be the correct answer in the Master's mind. So if the question became a multiple-choice question, would it mean that she would have a chance?
Besides, she thought that she and Alanna had been getting along well these past two days, and their relationship had developed quite well. If the Master really thought about becoming Aquaman and finding a few more girlfriends, she had the confidence that she could live in harmony with Alanna.
They are both Master's girlfriends. Why can others be Alanna's good sisters, but Mordred can't?
So now she began to test Ethan's intentions again. Anyway, Alanna, the queen, had begun to give in. As long as Ethan had the same idea, she planned to continue to pester him and try to carve out a place for herself in the Master's harem.
"Xiao Mo, you asked a good question. This question caught me off guard." Ethan gently combed the girl's hair in his arms and raised his head with a melancholy look:
"If you say you don't want to, she has already said that. If I refuse, I will seem hypocritical. But if you say you do want to, then I really did want to."
"So you do?" Xiao Mo raised a tiny arc at the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect that Master, you appear to be quite innocent on the surface, but deep down you are really a stuffy man."
Ethan did not refute after hearing this, but just smiled calmly, and then said:
"You can't say that. Everyone has thought about this. After all, we all have to daydream. But it's just a dream. It can't be brought into reality."
"And you saw it, Xiao Mo. What Alanna said just now was actually her last words. If she hadn't mistakenly believed that she was dying, she would never have said such a thing."
"Love is always exclusive. How can a girl tolerate the fact that something precious that originally belonged to her alone is suddenly taken away by someone else? When she wakes up, she will definitely be eager to take back what she said."
"Then Master, don't you want to fight for it? Anyway, it wasn't you who brought up this topic. Even if she wants to go back on her word, if your attitude is strong enough, you might be able to convince her." Xiao Mo continued to hint.
"No." Ethan shook his head. "Although having a harem is very tempting to me, and it can even be said to be a man's lifelong dream, how could I not have thought about that kind of good thing?"
Ethan really regarded Xiao Mo as a close friend at this moment, and he would not hide anything from his good brother. Although he knew that Xiao Mo was actually a person of the opposite sex who could have sex, at least he did not have any impure thoughts about Xiao Mo at the moment, so in this case, he would be able to confess his inner thoughts to her without reservation.
If he also regarded Xiao Mo as a member of the opposite sex with whom he could continue to develop an ambiguous relationship, then he would never have said such a thing.
"But if that's the case, I'm undoubtedly forcing Alanna to compromise. How could I do such a selfish thing by putting pressure on the girls and clearing myself of all blame? Even if I really want to have it all, it must be based on the sincere consent of the girls who like me. Otherwise, no matter how nicely I say 'You are all my wings' and 'I like you and everyone else', it's just moral kidnapping."
"Master, do you really think so? If all the women agree, do you really not mind... starting a harem?" Xiao Mo asked tentatively with a gleam in his eyes.
"Xiao Mo, why do I feel that you are so excited about this topic? Are you desperate and planning to get involved?"
Ethan was joking casually. Due to his inherent impression of Xiao Mo in his previous life, he had a preconceived notion that Xiao Mo, this tomboy, only had a brotherly relationship with him. He never thought that she would actually have feelings for him that were more than just friendship.
Put yourself in his shoes. No matter how close you are to your best friend, even to the point where you sleep in the same bed with him, do you think it’s because he likes you? Would you think that way?
If it weren't for this stereotype, he would have probably noticed the tomboy's thoughts long ago and would not have said those words that were almost blatantly flirtatious to girls.
