Chapter 229 The Girl in the Darkness

Miss Martha seemed to see Joan's doubts, and said bitterly:

"Although I can't cast 'Resist Evil' with my own strength, in order to prevent Rebecca from losing control of her emotions, I always carry the 'Resist Evil' scroll presented by Sister Claire."

"When I noticed that Rebecca's hair had turned silvery white, I hurriedly took out this scroll, intending to cast a spell to calm her down, but..."

"It's all my fault for being too careless. As soon as I unfolded the scroll, Rebecca's hair flew over and snatched the magic scroll from me, tearing it to pieces on the spot!"

Miss Martha only had this "Resist Evil" scroll, and it was destroyed by her sister's mutated long hair, and she was dumbfounded with fright.

It took a long time before she came to her senses. On the one hand, she sent her servants to Layton College to seek help from Sister Clare, and then she thought that George Vassar was also a magic spellcaster, and might be able to "resist evil". So he quickly sent the housekeeper to invite him.

"Resist Evil" is indeed included in the magical spell list of "Paladin", but George Vasa's current paladin level is still unable to master this divine spell. Fortunately, he brought a "Resist Evil" scroll with him, This made Miss Martha breathe a sigh of relief, thankful that her busy work was not in vain.

Miss Martha opened the door of the basement, and cast a spell to summon a small ball of warm light, which floated into the basement, dispelling the deep darkness.

Under the radiance of magic, Joan saw a petite figure curled up in the corner of the basement, with his hands on his knees, his head bowed deeply, and he was sobbing softly.

Sensing the footsteps coming from the door and the light coming in, Rebecca held back her sobs, raised her head, and timidly looked towards the door.

At the same time, Joan noticed that her silver hair was squirming upward like a vigilant snake, revealing a pretty little face covered with tears.

"Martha, Mr. Vasa... Huh? Why are you!"

Rebecca's eyes fell on Joan's face, and her big eyes filled with tears suddenly widened, showing surprise and embarrassment intertwined.

"Don't be afraid, Rebecca, Joan is a mutual friend of Mr. Vasa and I, and he came here specially to visit you."

Martha comforted her sister softly.

"But he's not my friend!"

The little girl was full of grievances, and complained to her sister in tears.

"This person is fierce and fierce! He is also very arrogant! Because he is a genius, he looks down on others!"

Joan was dumbfounded, and almost suspected that Rebecca was talking about someone else.

Since she once smashed her head with a brick, she accused herself of being vicious, so Joan pinched her nose and admitted it. Where did the accusations of arrogance and domineering come from?

He didn't even know that his reputation in school was so bad!

"Rebecca, you probably misunderstood. Joan just looks a little cold on the surface, but he is actually a very kind-hearted boy. If you get to know him more, you will know." George Vassar said with a smile.

"That's not true! He looks like a piece of ice on the outside, and his heart is colder than he looks on the outside. I wanted to get in touch with him, but he ignored me at all and deliberately avoided me!"

Rebecca pursed her lips, further intensifying her condemnation, appearing very aggrieved.

"I do not have it……"

Joan couldn't help crying out for grievances. She suddenly remembered that Rebecca had gone to the dormitory to look for her twice, but unfortunately, she was not there at the time, probably because she thought she was avoiding him on purpose.

"I didn't hide from you on purpose, it's really a coincidence..."

"It was not a coincidence at the time, but you didn't return to visit afterwards."

Rebecca retorted angrily.

Joan opened his mouth, speechless for a moment, his face couldn't help but get hot.

Others have come to him twice, and they should take the initiative to pay a return visit due to emotion and reason, but he just didn't, the reason is nothing more than fear of getting into trouble.

However, in Rebecca's view, this is undoubtedly a manifestation of arrogance and lack of etiquette.

"Okay, Rebecca, Joan is a boy, so it's inevitable that he's careless, so don't blame him." Martha smoothed things off with a smile, "For the sake of him coming to visit you tonight, don't do him any more. Are you angry?"

Rebecca nodded slightly, but judging from her still pursed mouth, Joan suspected that she hadn't completely calmed down yet.

"Martha, let's talk about these things later, let's hurry up and help Rebecca cure her mutated hair."

Major Vasa took out a spell scroll exuding a sacred aura.

Miss Martha put away her smile, walked solemnly beside Major Vasa, grasped the "Timoth Sacred Emblem" worn on his chest, and prayed devoutly, begging the "Queen of Karma" for divine power.

The Mithril Holy Emblem glowed with pure white brilliance, centering on the place where she was, the originally evenly distributed magic net lines in the surrounding space were distorted, spreading outward like layers of waves.

Joan saw that Miss Martha was casting the second-level magical spell "Tranquillity", and used magic power to temporarily suppress her sister's mutated silver hair and temporarily eliminate hostility, so that Major Vasa could calmly unfold the scroll and "resist evil" The strength is blessed by Rebecca.

Rebecca's long hair is like a special kind of activated object with independent personality and will, and the will of the hair is not always consistent with Rebecca.

If Rebecca's will conflicts with Hair's will, the latter will ignore the master's orders and act on its own. In extreme cases, the possibility of harming the master is not even ruled out.

To put it bluntly, Rebecca is no longer the owner of her own hair, but the host on which her hair depends for nourishment.

Miss Martha successfully released "Tranquillity". Rebecca's complexion gradually became calm under the influence of the spell, while her snake-like silver hair seemed to be struggling. Waking up from a nightmare, it was clearly fighting against the power of "stable mind".

Seeing this situation, Joan felt faintly uneasy.

To be on the safe side, he quickly shot "Mage Armor" and "Shield Spell" on himself to strengthen his defense, and then called "High Mage Hand" to prepare for any eventuality.

At this moment, George Vasa had already unfolded the scroll and completed the preparations for "Countering Evil" spells. Next, he only needed to walk up to Rebecca, touch her body, and transfer the magic power into her body to subdue the mutated long hair. .

However, just as he took the first step toward Rebecca, the girl suddenly let out a painful moan, and a strand of long hair shot towards his throat like a silver snake.

Without hesitation, Joan swung the "Hand of the High Mage" and caught the berserk lock of long hair in time.

George Vassar froze for a moment, then regained his composure, and rushed towards Rebecca.

Rebecca's silver hair was shaking violently, trying to prevent George Vassar from approaching.

Fortunately, Miss Martha has been maintaining her concentration in casting spells. Under the influence of "peace of mind", most of the hair strands are suppressed, only the strand of hair strands that Joan's remote control magic hand is holding on to is still struggling, trying her best to think about it. Get out of his grip.
