Chapter 232 Calming Bracelet (Ⅰ)

Joan touched the back of her neck subconsciously.

The mystery lingering in his heart has not diminished but increased.

His mutation symptoms are very different from those of the Custis father and daughter. At least so far, the deformed eyeball behind the neck has not shown signs of getting out of control.

Joan doesn't know if it's because of his relatively thin strange bloodline, or because of his luck, if he can maintain the current state where his own will and mutated organs are in peace.

He would rather put away his curiosity than to trace the root cause of this mutant symptom.

Turning his gaze to Rebecca Custis, Joan felt a tinge of pity.

Compared with him, Rebecca was undoubtedly more unfortunate.

Her strange blood has been severely split with her will, so that even she herself cannot control this extremely dangerous power.

Whether Rebecca herself is willing or not, for the safety of herself and her relatives and friends, she has to suppress her emotions at all times to avoid hair mutation.

However, human beings have seven emotions and six desires, and it is cruel and unrealistic to ask a girl in adolescence to be as cold as a machine without sorrow or joy.

Perhaps out of sympathy, Joan really wanted to help Rebecca get rid of the sharp knife hanging over her head.

However, he is just a small low-ranking mage, and even Rebecca's mentor, Sister Clare, the head of the seminary, can't cure her chronic illness, so what can he do?

Joan had to give up the possibility of cutting off the mutation from the root of the bloodline, and even trying to do so was dangerous.

What happened to Sir Custis, Grandpa Joan, and his parents all showed that this road leads to the unknown evil monster.

The more one explores the source of the blood, the closer one gets to that monster, which is like seeking a dead end.

So, is there any other way to stop the mutation of Rebecca's hair?

After thinking for a long time, Joan finally thought of a theoretically feasible strategy.

After hesitating again and again, he finally mustered up the courage to break the silence.

"Miss Martha, I thought of a way that might help Rebecca avoid the troubles caused by the strange blood."

The Custis sisters and Major Vassar's eyes immediately focused on Joan's face, expecting him to reveal the answer.

The gazes of everyone, especially Rebecca's watery eyes mixed with expectation and suspicion, made Joan nervous and unable to speak.

He simply took out a pen and paper, scribbled two lines, and handed it to Miss Martha silently.

"Make a magic device... When the magic device senses that Rebecca's emotions are out of control and her hair shows signs of abnormal changes, it will automatically activate the 'stable mind' to calm her down..."

Rebecca recited to the note, then raised her head and looked at Joan dubiously.

"Who can make such a magical magic weapon? Master Rawls?"

"Well, I can try it myself."

Joan replied bravely, her cheeks felt hot.

"Joan is not the kind of kid who likes to talk big, and he said 'you can try it', which shows that he is absolutely sure."

George Vassar clearly knew Joann's character better than the Custis sisters.

"Rebecca, what do you think?" Miss Martha looked at her sister.

Rebecca's eyes were a little hesitant, as if she couldn't believe that Joan really had such an ability.

However, she did not publicly express her concerns, and forced a smile: "Then give it a try, anyway, I have nothing to lose."

"Joan, just say what you need, as long as it is good for Rebecca, I will agree to any conditions."

Miss Martha was like a drowning person seeing a piece of driftwood, pinning all his hopes on Joan, which made him feel invisible pressure, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down.

"Miss Martha, first of all, I need a quiet room as a studio, and a scroll of 'Tranquil Mind'—or you can cast this spell yourself."

"In addition, I also need 8 ounces of magic crystals as an enchantment stabilizer. Finally, I need an item as an enchantment base material—preferably an accessory worn by Rebecca."

"only these?"

asked Miss Martha in disbelief.

"It's enough to have these."

Joan's calm words revealed a confident attitude.

"No problem, I'll get ready."

Miss Martha immediately called the housekeeper and asked him to take Joan to the study on the second floor—it fully met his requirements for quietness.

The butler led Qiao An into the study, brought a pot of hot tea and left.

Joan sat at the desk, poured himself a cup of tea, and sipped slowly.

Just after drinking a cup of tea, I heard footsteps outside the door, followed by a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Joan thought it was Miss Martha who came, but when she looked back, it was Rebecca who came in.

Seemingly aware of the astonishment in his eyes, Rebecca smiled shyly and walked towards him holding a porcelain jar.

She carefully placed the jar on the table, opened the lid, and the magic crystal powder, which was crystal clear like snow, had a slight icy blue luster under the light.

"These magic crystals are enough for us."

"Us?" Joan asked in surprise.

"Yeah!" Rebecca nodded seriously, "I'll be your enchanting assistant!"

"This...is not appropriate, is it?"

"I'm a level 5 Priest Timothy, and I can cast 'Serenity of the Mind'. Besides, the magic device you want to make is related to my own health. Is it inappropriate for me to assist you in completing this work?"

Rebecca's rhetorical question left Joan speechless.

He didn't expect that this shy and shy little girl could argue so eloquently that he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Well, you can stay here, but you have to obey my command, and you can't ask questions."

"No problem, I'll listen to you!"

The little girl nodded cheerfully, joy shining in her eyes.

"Is the enchanted embryo ready?"

Rebecca quickly rolled up her sleeves, took off a bracelet made of mithril from her slender wrist, and held it in front of Joan with both hands.

"This is the bracelet my mother left me. It never leaves me. Please be careful when enchanting it?"

"Don't worry, it won't cause any damage."

Joan took the silver bracelet and looked at it, then placed it flat on the table. Picking up the quill, dipped it in "Deep Sea Squid Ink", and carefully drew the No. 3 rune, Thorn, on the outside of the bracelet.

Rune No. 3, with the meaning of "protection and control", is suitable for carrying "peace of mind", using the power of this spell to control Rebecca's emotions, and protect herself and the people around her from the harm of mutant long hair .

After Joan finished writing the rune, he turned his head and pointed to Rebecca, using the rune depicted on the bracelet as the target of the spell to release "Stable Mind", thus attaching the magic power to the bracelet.
