"Great!" Anna said with unconcealed joy on her round face, "If this is the case, the fire should not have harmed them. My friends when I was a child must still be living happily in their fairy kingdom, right? wrong?" "Maybe!" Virginia gave an ambiguous answer. Not all felines live in the Fey Wilds, there are also many who live in the material plane. She couldn't bear to make the little girl with an extremely pure soul in front of her sad. She couldn't bear to say that at least she should keep some hope. After listening to their conversation, Gavin looked thoughtful and asked: "Lord, if Miss Anna really signed a contract with the fey, will it have an impact on spell casting? For example, the spell may become unstable. , like a goblin, with random side effects.” "Probably not, I have never heard of such a situation." Virginia looked at Anna with a surprised look, "Could it be that Miss Anna has such a situation?" "Well!" Speaking of the side effects of healing spells, Anna's face immediately became very distressed, "Ever since I was able to cast healing spells, I have not been able to cast a normal healing spell. It was always accompanied by inexplicable situations, and I have never found the problem. where." "Lord, is there any way to help Anna confirm whether she has signed a contract with him before? After all, she was young at that time, and her memory may not be completely accurate, especially under the repeated influence of adults." Gavin was not sure about this matter. Things are very caring. I have never had any clue about the side effects of Anna's spell. Now that I have finally found a clue, I naturally have to hold on to it. “This…” A trace of entanglement and hesitation flashed across Virginia Xiuya’s face.
Seeing this expression, Gavin immediately guessed what was going on. Virginia did have a way, but it definitely involved soul contact. Because of her relationship, she is now very sensitive to soul contact, lest something goes wrong again. The considerate Anna saw Virginia's troubled face and said hurriedly: "No need to trouble the lord, I'm used to it now, and the side effects also have side effects. At least in many places, I can help Mr. Gavin." ” What Anna said made Lord Virginia feel a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said: "It's not troublesome at all. I just need to explore the state of your soul consciousness. It is very likely that I will get a glimpse of some of your privacy, especially the past. If you If you don’t mind, I can check it out for you.” Virginia is not the kind of person who only knows how to escape. On the contrary, her reason can often defeat her emotions. Even when her memory has been tampered with, she still hasn't completely fallen, which is the best proof that her will is terrifyingly strong. Exploring souls and memories through soul contact has always been an important means for her, and it is impossible to completely give up using it because of the accident that happened to Gavin. Anna was a good experiment for her. Through her comparison, whether there is a problem with the soul detection, or there is something wrong with Gavin. "I don't mind." Anna answered neatly. Virginia stretched out her slender index finger, which was like a white onion, and touched Anna's forehead, and green light bloomed on it. Like the roots of a big tree, they started to extend in all directions along Anna's forehead and towards her body. It didn't take long for it to spread all over Anna's body, causing her to glow with a faint green light. Virginia's soft voice sounded in Anna's ears: "Concentrate and recall the scenes of getting along with those fey friends... Yes, very good, that's it..." As Anna's memories proceed. Her expression also began to change, and a happy smile from the heart bloomed on her face. Obviously, this was her reminiscence of the happy interactions and playtimes she had with her fey friends when she was a child. The reputation of fey among humans is complicated, with both good and bad consequences. Especially between children and adults, there is a polarization. Even some adults once retained good memories of fey in their childhood.
The reason for this has a lot to do with the polarization of fey species. Fey are either extremely good or extremely evil, and few are neutral. The two are not fixed and can even transform into each other - this is related to the fact that they are easily affected by synchronized external environmental factors. In addition, the attitude of the fey towards you, in addition to its own good and evil, also has a lot to do with your attitude towards it when you come into contact with it. It is not uncommon for some felines who are extremely evil in nature to choose to protect pure and kind human children or cubs of other races with their lives. It is common for some naturally kind-hearted elves to launch fatal attacks on adults of other intelligent races, but most of them are pranks, most of them are well-intentioned, and some are also fatal. The happy smile on Anna's face suddenly froze and turned into endless fear. She kept shouting: "Fire, fire, such a big fire, come and put out the fire! Come on, come and save them!" The fire, like substance, suddenly burst out from the depths of Anna's soul. The green tree roots that were originally rooted in her body were directly burned by the fire. Virginia snorted and severed the soul connection between the two parties. "Are you okay?" Gavin immediately stepped forward and supported Virginia. Feeling the touch from her soul, Virginia couldn't help but tremble. She wanted to avoid it, but her whole body felt a little soft, but she couldn't use her strength. She didn't expect that there would be a soul hidden deep in Anna's body, and the counterattack caught her off guard. Gavin took the opportunity to hold her slender waist, but instead of taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, he asked with concern: "What's going on?" "Lord, are you okay? What just happened?" The fire on Anna's body appeared and subsided quickly. After flicking Virginia away, she disappeared without a trace, as if everything was an illusion, while Anna looked completely clueless about what had just happened. Virginia wanted to break away, but she didn't want to make it too obvious in front of Anna, so she could only stay as natural as possible and said: "Miss Anna has signed a contract with the fey before, and it was a very special life-sharing contract. But there is a problem with this contract. The fey you signed the contract with have been severely damaged and almost completely destroyed. The last trace of soul is resting deep in your soul. All this may be related to a fire..." "Fire!" Anna was stunned. "Could it be the fire in my grandparents' ancestral house? But I have no memory of that fire at all! Or I heard what my parents said later that when the fire broke out, I In the ancestral house, the fire burned the entire ancestral house into ruins, but when they found me, it was intact! " "That's right." Virginia nodded and said, "The reason why you survived the fire intact is not that you escaped the fire, but that you were rescued by your fey friend through a life-sharing contract. But it doesn’t make sense. Why did the fey who signed the contract with you suffer so much? Logically speaking, the two of you signed a life-sharing contract. As long as one party is still alive, there will be no problem with the other party..." At the end of the sentence, Virginia had unconcealable doubts on her face, almost overturning her conclusion. Because Anna's current situation is not in line with the life-sharing contract. The life-sharing contract focuses on sharing, sharing one's own vitality with another living being. This sharing is not unilateral, but bilateral. This kind of contract is the supreme contract of the fey. Even the fey can't sign it just because they want to. Both parties must have pure feelings and be willing to sign it. It is blessed by the elves and gods. It can never be signed by force. At least in Faerun, I didn't listen. It is said that someone signed this kind of contract through coercive means. Even so, there are still many evil intelligent beings who try every means to sign such a contract with felines, including deception. Because most felines are immortal species, with lives ranging from hundreds of years to thousands of years. Once a life-sharing contract is signed, it means that the life spans of both parties are added up and then divided equally. This is an excellent way to extend life for short-lived races. When felines sign such a contract, they are naturally very cautious. Even if they can sign it, they usually won't sign it. Anna said thoughtfully: "After the fire, my physical condition has not been very good. A priest said that I was possessed by evil spirits, so he presided over an exorcism for me. After the exorcism, my Although my health has improved, since then, I have always felt that something is missing. Could this be the reason? ”
"This..." Faced with this problem, Virginia also had a headache, because the life sharing contract, for her, is also a knowledge inheritance. She has not seen any examples, let alone this special situation, so she can only be vague. The answer is, "It's not impossible." Gavin, who was listening in, seemed to understand a bit, especially the life-sharing contract, which was purely based on literal meaning. Only then did he find the opportunity to interrupt and asked: "What about the side effects of the healing spell? With this life-sharing contract, Or does it matter if she is in a special state now?" "Can you cast a healing spell?" Virginia asked. "I...I'll try." This was the closest she got to the root cause of the disease. She was inevitably very nervous. The stuttering problem that hadn't appeared for a long time reappeared. She tried several times before she found the state. Along with the seals and spells, she was pure. Positive energy gathered around her. No wonder Dreamland is called the world of spellcasters. Their strength and agility here are stronger than those of warriors, and their spells and divine spells are used without any delay. On the contrary, barbarians or warriors, when they get here, unless there are special circumstances, they really have nothing. Well, they only have accumulated fighting skills over time, and without the support of strong physical fitness, the legendary barbarians are no match for a mage apprentice, absolutely. The saddest thing in life. "Okay." Virginia said with certainty, "The side effects of your healing spell are indeed related to your current special state. When you were gathering positive energy just now, part of the energy was taken away by your own soul. It has caused the disability of your healing spells. Do you not have such side effects when you cast healing spells or non-healing spells on yourself? " "That's right, that's right, that's right." Anna nodded repeatedly, "This side effect is limited to healing spells. When self-treating, although there are no side effects, the treatment effect is only half of the normal one." "That's right, the spirit of your life-sharing contract is using this method to heal your own injuries." "Lord, is there any way to completely heal the soul in my body?" Anna asked with anticipation. Combined with her own experience, she had no doubt about Lord Virginia's judgment. This filled her heart with unspeakable excitement and surprise.
