Chapter 60: Reliable Brother and Sister

Ivus was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to touch the remaining red powder on Yulia's forehead.

He felt a hot touch from his fingertips—like touching hot water that had just been poured through a glass, which would make his fingers subconsciously burn.

The sweat that Yulia had soaked out had now turned into the flame essence oozing from the phantom demon "Flame Butterfly" in her body!

Ivus suddenly remembered that the day after the first warehouse deflagration...... On the day Hayna-senpai came to his house, Yulia had just woken up at dusk in the afternoon, and seemed unusually weak.

And just ...... It was only a warehouse explosion, but Edward gave up on taking Ivas home, and instead immediately broke Sherlock and dealt with it alone. Eventually, he returned before Sherlock.

Aihuas immediately realized who the "prisoners" of these two warehouse explosions were-

From the very beginning, it wasn't a demon scholar trying to summon demons.

It's because the "Flame Butterfly" in Yulia's body is out of control!

The flames in her body leaked out irrepressibly, eventually causing the two warehouse explosions...... And the flame essences collected in the warehouse are not imitation flame essences synthesized by alchemists, but traces left after the "Flame Butterfly" activity!

“…… Well, the gluing is back. ”

Edward breathed a sigh of relief from exhaustion, "I'll take care of the rest, Ihuas." I'll take a moment and I'll explain it to you later...... You help your sister treat it first. ”

With that, the invisible chains on Yulia's body dissipated. Hot she fell into Ivus's arms, and unexpectedly felt that the unconscious girl looked a little heavy.

The cracks in Yulia's skin no longer glowed red, nor did they breathe horrible tongues of fire and heat, but they hadn't healed completely. It looked like it was covered in fresh scars that had been cut by a knife, and blood was slowly oozing outward.

Edward's lips were already dried from the roast—and as soon as he sat down, he poured himself a full glass of water. After drinking it all, he poured a second cup in a row.

After drinking the second glass of water, he immediately closed his eyes and lay on his back on the couch. The whole person is spread out, and it is visible to the naked eye that it has become weak.

Ivas is also familiar. This is clearly a sign that the magic has been almost drained.

He recognized that the spell that sealed Yulia was not the same spell that the lawyer had learned—it had no mark of Avalon on it.

This kind of transparent shackles is more like the soul shackles of the ancient kingdom of rest.

It was used to capture slaves or perform sacrifices, and it was a technique that could directly bind the soul and briefly seal the magic pool. It was by unleashing this spell with all his might that Edward forcibly stuffed the flame butterfly that was about to hatch back.

It was a spell he had mastered from Milton University...... Or did his adoptive father teach him?

Doubts rose in Ivus's mind, but he didn't have time to ask.

Yulia was only spared the fate of being killed by the phantom, but the high heat and fever in her body still needed to be dealt with.

"Give me a clean towel and wet it with water."

Ivas slipped his wheelchair to the bed and said quickly to Oswald, "Warm water is best." ”

"Okay, right away."

Oswald nodded, and Ivas frowned.

He removed Yulia's tattered pajamas and stuffed her lower body into the quilt. Holding Yulia's upper body in her arms, she rested her head on her lap and lay on the bed with her back facing up.

He stretched out his left hand and pressed it against Yulia's heart from above. Close your eyes and visualize yourself as bright.

Eivus's palm glowed brightly, burning and banishing the pain in Yulia's body with a rapid scorch.

Yulia visibly calmed down, her cheeks, which had been burned to crimson, quickly began to fade and her murmuring voice calmed down. But Aihuas's brow furrowed deeper and deeper—

Feeling that his palms were already soaked with damp sweat, his expression became serious.

As he healed, Ivus visibly felt a frenzied heat flowing down his palm. It's like eating a very spicy dried chili pepper and then choking until you cough, and it becomes hot from the depths of your throat to the entire esophagus. You can feel a tube-like organ in your senses, and your presence becomes clear.

At this moment, this "hot" feeling appeared in the palm of Aihuas's left hand, and quickly flowed along the palm towards his heart, forcibly opening a scorching channel in the middle of his left arm.

Ivus didn't know what was going on, but he instinctively sensed danger.

Before the heat could spread to his heart, he let go of his hand.

At this moment, Yulia's breathing had become calm. The heat on the skin has largely dissipated, and the blood-soaked wound has healed again.

But the heat did not subside immediately, but remained in Ivus's left arm.

There was a noticeable swelling sensation, like the swelling sensation of red and swollen gums. His left arm was even redder than his right, and both arms were not the same temperature.

He frowned, and instead of immediately bothering his left arm, he shoved Yulia back into the quilt to preserve her body temperature and give her a little rest.

Although this may make the quilt stained by her sweat...... But that's a flame essence after all, and it can provide a good temperature after being dried.

"Here comes the towel."

At this moment, less than half a minute later, Oswald brought a clean towel soaked in warm water.

He handed over a basin of water and put it on the shelf beside him.

Ivus nodded and took it, carefully wiping the sweat from Yulia's body with a towel.

After just a few wipes, the original pure white towel turned red, but it didn't look like a dark red of blood, but like a strawberry jam that had fallen on the table.

He returned the towel to Oswald and motioned for him to wash it.

After repeating it three times, she basically wiped all the flame essence precipitated from her body. He also kept some of them and put them in his pocket.

And Yulia's body temperature finally recovered, and she lay on the pillow with her head tilted and fell into a deep sleep.

Before Ivus could speak, Oswald had already brought a soft and warm quilt. He wrapped the quilt around the old quilt and rolled Yulia, who was already asleep, into the new one. He also replaced the quilt and bed sheets that had been contaminated with the flames.

"This quilt is obviously useless - it's full of remnants of flame spirits."

Ivus breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back slightly in his wheelchair, and explained softly, "Same as this basin." Even if they are killed, they are dangerous - as long as there is a little Flame Essence left after drying, it only takes a spark, or a little hotter, and they will burn up directly. In the same way, it is not safe to dump them down the drain. ”

"I understand, Master Ehuath," Oswald nodded, apparently adept at handling the situation now, "I'll go find a place and burn them first." ”

Seeing the old butler leave, Ivus glanced at Yulia, who was sleeping deeply, and looked at his eldest brother Edward.

He asked in a deep voice, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"You should know that Yulia is the 'Phantom Egg', right?"

Edward, who pressed his forehead hard, exhaled deeply and whispered in a tired voice, "Even if you didn't know it before, you should have guessed it after coming into contact with so many occult books.

"Yulia is fifteen years old this year. In general, it is difficult for an Illusory Egg to live past the age of twelve...... However, the Hypnos decoction purchased by her father can keep the illusions in her body into a deep sleep, and the blood-purifying potion can gradually precipitate the body fluids contaminated by the power of illusions.

But as she grew older, the pent-up power in her body grew stronger. Now that twice the dose of Hypnos decoction could no longer easily suppress the illusion, and increasing the dose could cause irreversible damage to her nerves. The slightest fluctuation in her mood may induce a leak of power. ”

Speaking of this, Edward reached out and pressed his temple hard, opened his eyes and looked at Ivus: "Speaking of which, this matter has something to do with you. ”

“…… And me? Aiwas's eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes. She was nervous about you last week because you were attacked and fell into a coma. She didn't sleep well that night and came to see you several times. The next morning she began to have a high fever. ”

Edward said in a deep voice, "Yulia has a premonition that she is about to lose control. But at that time her father had not left, so Yulia immediately told her father about it.

"My father sent Mr. Oswald to take Yulia to a nearby unoccupied seafood warehouse, where she could burn and vent her overflowing power—that warehouse was owned by our family, so that the owner of the warehouse did not have to worry about the owner of the warehouse repeatedly asking the Inspectorate to investigate the matter or hiring a private detective to investigate the matter because of the damage to his property.

"As a result, perhaps after the last catharsis, my father forgot to re-strengthen her seal...... Today, because you went to Princess Isabel's dinner, maybe you're going to school tomorrow, or for some other reason, Yulia is out of control again. It was supposed to have had a seizure when Oswald was dropping you off.

"At that time, you and Mr. Oswald had gone to the Princess's dinner, I had been invited by Sherlock to investigate a gang of Lloyd's gangs, and my father had left Avalon for a while. The other servants had no contact with the transcendental, and she didn't know who to ask for help, and she was afraid of causing us trouble, so she decided to deal with it herself.

"I guess she wants to go to the last warehouse by herself. After all, it's not far from home, and it's almost a fifteen-minute walk away...... But she wouldn't know that martial law was still there.

She couldn't get into the destination, and she didn't know how to go outside. But she followed the road and began to look for unmanned warehouses...... Eventually, she was lucky enough to run to an abandoned stone warehouse with no one before she lost consciousness. ”

"Yulia doesn't know the way at all, and she dares to go out alone......"

Hearing Edward's words, Ivus shook his head with some fear: "Fortunately, I didn't run too far, and I am still in the White Queen." If you go to Lloyd's, it can be dangerous. ”

"No, I think she's actually quite good at remembering directions. The last time I was carried by Mr. Oswald, I was still in a high fever and confused. This time, she was able to find the warehouse by herself with the remaining memories.

"I think she acted too decisively. If this were not the case, I am afraid that the mansion would have been destroyed by fire by now. Surely many servants will die as a result, and the identity of her Phantom Egg may be revealed, which is usually euthanized under today's law.

"From this point of view, Yulia may have the adaptability of the balanced path or the wisdom path. I think it's better to praise her than to scold. ”

Edward sighed, "But it's useless to talk about that, it's okay now anyway." On an optimistic note, this may also be a good thing. Yulia used the power of illusion twice in a row, and she had almost exhausted the power of illusion. I've just re-strengthened the seal using the secret method - as long as she takes the potion on time, even if her mood fluctuates, she won't get out of control so easily. ”

It's over.

The eldest brother of Ivus, lying on the sofa tiredly, said so.

Even though his clothes looked a little embarrassed, half black and gray and half torn, Edward's voice was still calm and steady, not impatient: "Don't worry, Aihuas. Today is too late, and the delay is too long...... That's why you need to use the 'Illumination'. If it was daytime, I could have called Bishop Mathers to come and see him.

"Although the fire was not as fierce as the last time, it was also because of this that I discovered the fire too late. I wasn't at home that day—fortunately I happened to hear Mr. Oswald talk about it this morning. So when I saw the fire, I thought of Yulia at the first time, so I could rush over it at the first time.

But her burn this time lasted so long that her spiritual shell began to crack and fester. If it can be suppressed in time next time, this will not happen, and the seal will become much easier. ”

The man, who had a square face, a serious expression, and always frowned, said calmly and clearly in a voice that belonged to a reliable adult: "This time I blame me, I forgot to remind my father to check the seal, and my father left too quickly...... This will not happen again.

"As for the remnants of the flame essence, you don't have to worry. Due to historical and political reasons, there are not many alchemists that the Avalon royal family can hire. There was only one scholar in charge of inspecting the dangerous alchemy products brought back by the Glass Island Inspectorate. ”

"Who is it?" Ivas asked.

"Dr. William Wayne Westcott. He now teaches alchemy in the Sixth Faculty of Esoteric Sciences at the University of Law, as well as anatomy in other faculties. You might run into him at school, too. He was a good friend of his father's, and his father had already taken care of it...... I'll accompany you to school tomorrow and go to greet him by the way. ”

Edward's eyes narrowed, and he calmly uttered dangerous words: "Forgive him that after the test, he will only give another result." ”

Then, he looked at Ivas and comforted, "Although my father is not here, I will come home every day to visit." If the inspectorate is okay, I won't go out.

"You can go to school and study hard. The affairs of the family are left to the eldest brother. ”
