Chapter 220: The Book of Spells
It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Elijah and the other vampire progenitors reappeared.
The meeting place between the two parties is still in the French Quarter, where the contract has not yet been officially signed. In addition to Elijah, who promised Tang Bai that he would bring the magic book, there are Klaus, Rebecca, and Cole, the youngest male descendant of the Ancestor Family. It can be said that all members of the Ancestor Family are all here, except for Finn, who is still sealed.
Compared with the high-spirited day before yesterday, Elijah and them have completely changed their appearance. A little more vigilance and coldness.
"This is the magic book you wanted, I brought it for you." Elijah glanced at Klaus, who was cold-faced, and reached out to hand a large magic book that was old, much thicker than Emily's magic book, to Tang Bai.
"Thank you very much." Tang Bai smiled and stretched out his arm to take it from Elijah. But before his fingertips touched the cover of the magic book, the magic book in Elijah's hand suddenly disappeared, and Klaus on Elijah's side reached out and quickly snatched it.
"Let me look at the moonstone. I saw that I allowed the deal. Klaus was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes. However, compared to yesterday's unruly and unruly, Klaus still maintained a certain degree of restraint in front of Tang Bai today.
Rebecca and Cole wandered around the room as if they had no intention of participating in the deal between their brothers and Tang Bai.
"Absolutely." Tang Bai reached out and took out a small box from the pocket on his chest, and opened it in front of Klaus and Elijah, a piece of milky white. It looked like a translucent crystal-like stone, lying quietly in a box.
"Ever since it was lost. I've been looking for it for 400 years. Klaus's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was nostalgic. He could see the moonstone in Tang Bai's hand at a glance. It was indeed the piece that Catherine had stolen from him.
The one whose mother had used as a carrier of the spell had banned the moonstone on his werewolf side.
In order to find the moonstone, Klaus deliberately spent energy to make up a curse legend shared by vampires and werewolves. After finding it, he carried it with him, and from time to time he had to take it out and rub it for a look, and it can be said that no one was more familiar with this stone than Klaus.
Now that it was lost and regained, the familiar feeling in his heart naturally made Klaus distinguish the authenticity of this moonstone at a glance.
Klaus subconsciously reached out to take the moonstone in the box, but was closed by the sharp-eyed Tang Bai one step earlier. The body of the box dexterously swirled a few times on Tang Bai's fingertips, and was violently held in the palm of Tang Bai's hand. The arm shrank, and the other blank hand stretched out with its palm, making two gestures to Klaus.
Seeing Tang Bai's posture, Klaus still didn't understand what he meant, although he became a little more uncomfortable in his heart, but when the moonstone was about to get his hands, he didn't bother to bother with Tang Bai.
"Here you go." Klaus slapped the heavy magic book onto Tang Bai's outstretched palm.
Tang Bai took the book in the palm of his hand and flipped through it twice, rubbed the paper a few times, and confirmed that this was indeed an ancient witch magic book. Only then did he throw the box containing the moonstone to Klaus.
The transaction went smoothly to this point, which also made Elijah on the side breathe a sigh of relief. At this moment when the crisis may come at any time, if it is not necessary, he can not clash with Tang Bai, a mysterious wizard. It's the best thing to do.
"Why didn't you see Jacob and Hammer? Are they still tying themselves up? Or did you tie them up? If necessary, I can ask my brother Cole to relieve their pain. ”
Klaus opened the box and stroked the moonstone in the box, and a wanton smile tugged at the corner of his mouth: "He's always ready to help." Cole, who was walking around, heard this. Turning in the direction of Tang Bai and them, the corners of his mouth pulled into a smile and nodded slightly to Tang Bai.
"Don't worry. The two of them are fine. Since you want to see the two of them, I'll have someone bring them over. Looking at Klaus's unbridled smile. Tang Bai shrugged his shoulders and glanced at the pearl standing by the door.
Even though Pearl was a little far away from their location, under the vampire's sensitive hearing, Tang Bai and Klaus had a conversation that fell into her ears word for word. Therefore, the pearl with Tang Bai's eyes does not need to bother to guess anything, and he can understand the meaning of Tang Bai's eyes.
"You gave them verbena?" Hearing Tang Bai's words, not only Klaus, but Elijah on the side, and Cole not far away, also focused their eyes on Tang Bai. Hypnosis is not so easy to remove, especially the hypnosis of the ancestors.
Verbena can prevent and immunize any vampire from hypnosis, but by its very nature, it cannot completely eliminate and cure the previous hypnosis. Cole had only given one order to Jacob and Hammer, and there had been no follow-up orders.
In this case, even if Jacob and Hammer took verbena, they couldn't affect the hypnosis before the ancestors. Other than that, however, there doesn't seem to be anything else that can restrain and immune the vampire's hypnotic abilities.
"Even better, I helped them relieve the progenital hypnosis." Tang Bai's face was relaxed.
"Wizards still have this ability?" A somewhat frivolous voice sounded, and Cole looked at Tang Bai with a cynical smile.
"Obviously. Although most wizards are not immortal like you, they can borrow all kinds of supernatural powers from this world. With these powers, they are always able to do all sorts of unthinkable things. Tang Bai turned his head and glanced at Cole, and tilted his head sideways.
"That's why I have a lot of respect for some powerful and special wizards. They know a lot of interesting things, and I'm happy to hear them from them. I've been to many places, I've met a lot of wizards, but I've never heard of a wizard who can undo the hypnosis of an ancestor. How do you do it? Cole walked over, crossed his legs and reached the armrest of the sofa on one side, looking at Tang Bai with curiosity on his face.
"It took a price." Tang Bai pressed his body back slightly, stuck to the elastic and soft backrest airtightly, and pouted lightly.
"I understand. According to you wizards, magic represents a balance. You can use some natural powers within your ability, but you can't cross the line. Once the line is crossed, there will inevitably be a corresponding price. ”
Cole's palm was spread out and erected, one side of his palm was tapped towards Tang Bai, and he said with curiosity on his face: "What I want to know is, what price did you pay for lifting my hypnosis?" Hearing this, Elijah and Klaus also looked at Tang Bai and waited for his answer.
"I'm not the one who pays the price. I don't have to pay anything. Tang Bai said lightly.
"Master."
"Master."
Jacob and Hammer walked in, glanced at Klaus and the other ancestors with a little fear, and then stood respectfully behind Tang Bai.
Although they lost the memory of masochism, the bloody basement was still there, and there was a pearl for them to briefly describe their situation when they were hypnotized, even if the deep pain dissipated with the erasure of the memory, but looking at the messy basement, Jacob and Hammer still felt a chill.
"Are you all right? Forgive me for not relieving you of your pain last night, when I didn't go to any boring balls, and I was having a rather pleasant conversation with a learned witch who knew a lot of old legends. Cole looked at Jacob and Hammer with their hands spread slightly, and the corners of his lips drew a flirtatious smile.
Now that Jacob and Hammer have stood in front of them, and really didn't hurt themselves anymore and put their own blood, it is obvious that what Tang Bai said before about lifting hypnosis is not a stubborn empty talk and big talk. It's that he really did it.
"Alright Cole, we have more important things to talk about. You can go somewhere else with the two of them and express your apologies to them. You can also go and accompany Rebecca, who has been standing next to that mirror for a while, and you can follow along to see what is so special about that mirror. If you're staying here, put away your careless frivolity. Elijah glanced up at his brother and bowed his head.
"Okay, okay. I'm going to have a good conversation with Jacob and the two of them. Colton raised his hand as if surrendering, got up and left the armrest of the sofa, walked around the sofa where Tang Bai was sitting, and put his arms on Jacob and Hammer, who were a little pale, and smiled.
"Go ahead, Mr. Cole won't hurt you again." Feeling the two distressed eyes of Jacob behind him, Tang Bai said. Although he spoke to Jacob and Cole, he looked at Elijah as he spoke.
He really didn't have to worry too much about Cole hurting Jacob and the two of them, as long as Jacob and the two didn't have a convulsion to provoke Cole.
From Elijah's words just now, it can be heard that taking the moonstone from Tang Bai and completing the transaction is not the only purpose of their visit. Elijah had other purposes than the deal that had already been made. And Elijah obviously didn't want too many people to know about this purpose.
And Cole's actions are obviously to clear the scene for his brothers. Remove some inconsequential people from here to make room for them to be more private.
Of course, Cole would be happy to get some information out of Jacob and Hammer's mouth, such as how to remove his hypnosis. Unlike his older brothers, Cole may have been cynical and frivolous, but he could be his two best brothers in times of need. (To be continued......)
