Chapter 207: The Molting Ritual Begins

Isabel was lying in a very close position.

It wasn't so much lying on Ivus's thigh, but rather the corner of the back of his head resting on the side of Ivace's thigh.

It's like putting the back of your head against the head of a bed, and you're just about to fall off. And the neck will also be uncomfortable.

It wasn't that she was shy or felt that there was a difference between men and women—it was just that she was worried that she might get into Ivace, or that her head would be too heavy on Ivus's legs—after all, Ivas was still in her mind that she was usually in a wheelchair, so she was too embarrassed to lie down too much.

Instead, she was straining her neck, trying to maintain a somewhat awkward and barely balanced posture.

"Isn't your neck uncomfortable like this?"

Ivas whispered, like a whisper ringing in his ears.

He reached out and put his hand on the back of Isabel's head, his other hand on her shoulder, and whispered, "Lean up." yes, a little bit higher......"

He didn't let go until Isabel was fully able to lie on his lap.

And Isabel subconsciously pushed harder.

Her neck and shoulders strained, trying not to make her head look too heavy.

"Alas......"

Aihuas sighed helplessly: "Relax." ”

He reached out and pressed Isabelle's chin, and with the other he pressed her skull—at this moment, if he twisted her hands hard, Her Royal Highness would probably be gone. Such intimate physical contact made Isabel subconsciously want to exclaim, but she immediately controlled her reaction, which made her blush.

But Ivus only shook her head slightly, and whispered, "Relax, relax...... It's like sleeping, your body is relaxed, and your hands don't exert yourself...... Don't you tremble...... If you resist my light, I won't be able to heal you......"

Ivas calmed down for a while, but Isabel still didn't fully relax. But at least she was literally lying on Ivus's lap.

She didn't dare to open her eyes now, because Isabel could feel Ivas's soft, slightly hot breath spraying on her face. She had exhausted all her strength just by taking deep breaths and staying calm.

"Good, good......"

Ivus whispered.

For some reason, Isabel felt Eivers' voice...... It's like domesticating a pet yourself. And just having such an association made her heart beat extremely violently. She could hear her own heartbeat and feel her veins throbbing just by lying on Ivus's lap.

And then, she felt the warm palm on her forehead.

A stream of heat poured out of her palm and into her brain.

It's like getting your head massaged, or washing your head in hot water...... But it's warmer and more cosy than it all adds up. There was a feeling of invisible heat soaking her flesh and skull, and she couldn't help but moan softly, and in an instant her body became relaxed.

Headache, dizziness, dry eyes...... Many uncomfortable symptoms, like fresh stains washed away by hot water, disappear at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, Isabel could clearly feel another stream of heat moving from her neck and moving down flexibly. This made her subconsciously clamp her legs and gasp.

The heat poured into the heart first, then the lungs, the stomach, ...... Every organ in the body has been swam through. In normal times, Isabel might have been shy to stop it immediately, but the constant heat from her forehead made her feel drowsy, and made her wish that the treatment could continue at this time.

Immediately afterward, she felt the tiny stream of heat grow larger in her heart. An even stronger current of heat flowed through the limbs as the heart pumped.

But soon, she felt a chill on her forehead.

- It wasn't a chill, it was that Ivus took his hand away.

When she opened her eyes, she felt that her vision was clear, her consciousness was unusually clear, and her headache and dry eyes were completely gone, which was more comfortable than a good night's sleep. The brain, which had just been soaked in the heat flow, was now becoming cooler.

It's like taking a hot shower and feeling cool.

"Don't you usually go to the bishop for your treatment?"

Looking down at Isabelle, who opened her eyes with a new look on her face, Ivas was a little puzzled.

Isabel has a lot of minor problems, and she doesn't quite look like a royal family.

INTERVIEWER It stands to reason that the royal family shouldn't just summon the bishop for treatment when something goes wrong, or even just a little unwell, right?

This is the case with many knight families...... This is the case with the Moriarty family, for example. Every time Yulia was unwell, her adoptive father or eldest brother would see it and go to find someone. At that time, Eivus was still young, and he didn't know what he should do, so he could only watch worriedly.

This is no longer the case.

He really has the ability to help others, to heal his wounds – he doesn't have to go to someone, he can do better than them.

But Isabel only smiled innocently and did not answer directly.

Ivas didn't ask for an answer, he just asked casually.

"You have a cold, your heart is not very good, and your stomach is not very good...... Running out of appetite lately? The nutrition is actually a little poor...... The menstrual period is also a little disordered, and I have taken care of it for you. But these are all minor problems that have just appeared, remember to eat more. ”

As a temporary doctor, Ivas still earnestly admonished: "Also, your neck may not be good. But I also used illumination to help you heal. This is a problem of looking down too much, so remember to look up more. If you use too much illumination, you may overdraft your health, and you still have to do it yourself to supplement your nutrition. ”

Not to mention anything else, he knows this too well. One eye cervical spondylosis. Ivus had this problem in his previous life...... In other words, there are few urban white-collar workers who are not sick with their necks.

Fortunately, the principle of illumination is to "dispel pain", which restores the body to a healthy state by refining and materializing the abstract concept of illness and dispelling it with light.

As long as you can know that there is something wrong with the other person's body, you can directly infuse mana to heal it. Otherwise, Ivas wouldn't have cured this thing.

I didn't expect that in this era when there are no mobile phones, Isabel can have this problem...... Probably because the practice task given by Yanis is too heavy. After all, Isabel's profession is "all-rounder".

"I'll remember."

Isabel said earnestly.

"Then it's time for you to get up from my lap, Isabel."

Ivas said with a smile.

Only then did Isabel realize that she was lying on Ivus's thigh!

She quickly got up, her long pale blonde hair flowing loosely, and even a few strands of hair hit Ivus's face. In front of Ivus, there was a delicate scent of roses—the smell of the shampoo she used.

Ivas smelled this and was a little surprised.

Did Isabel actually use this mature fragrance......

"Come with us, right? Want to witness Ms. Meg's ceremony? ”

Ivus sent out an invitation.

Although Meg was only waiting for Ewas, he believed that if Isabel came, she would not refuse.

After all, Meg seems to have a good relationship with Isabel. In other words, according to Isabel's character, although it is difficult to find friends of the same age, her elders should have a good relationship with her.

"What ritual?"

Isabel asked, but subconsciously followed Ivas towards the door.

"The ritual of rejuvenation."

“…… Huh? Isabel was stunned for a moment.

She didn't think Ivas was bragging—in her opinion, Ivas was so mysterious, erudite, and powerful. It was normal for him to know some rituals that the court ritual masters didn't know.

But rejuvenation...... This is outrageous, right?

And......

When she heard this, she immediately thought of her grandmother.

"Your Majesty, she ......"

Isabel hesitated, and her steps slowed down as she followed Ehuas.

As soon as she spoke, Ivus guessed what she was thinking.

Aihuas directly shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty should not be able to." This ritual is very painful and requires a lot of willpower to get through. And even if he succeeds, he will no longer be his former self - his appearance, bloodline, voice, and talent will change, and how will His Majesty manage the country? ”

A person who is different from the queen in terms of age, appearance, blood, occupation, and path level suddenly appears and claims to be the rejuvenated Queen Sophia......

Regardless of whether anyone believes it, this can already be used as an excuse for neighboring countries to send troops or internal rebellions.

"And, according to Ms. Meg's character, she would definitely try the ritual first. If it succeeds, she will definitely share it with His Majesty - whether His Majesty agrees with it or not, she will definitely say it. So it's not our turn to talk about it. ”

Ivas analyzed carefully.

And at this time, Meg's hearty laughter was still heard: "Well said! You know me, little fox! ”

…… Why don't you follow Sherlock and call me a fox?

Ivus was a little helpless, but he didn't bother to correct it.

Just like what he and Sherlock had talked about in their dreams, Ivas was fond of foxes. "Vixen" wasn't exactly a derogatory term for him, but rather a compliment to his charisma.

Because he needed to pay full attention to the ceremony, this time he was not in a wheelchair. Instead, he sent the Shadow Demon under Lily - it was clear that the Shadow Demon would not have managed to hide in front of Meg.

But he is also getting bolder.

Rather, it was because of the presence of the Shadow Demon that it made sense for Ivus to know about such ancient rituals that no one knew about.

People don't know, but Shadow Demons don't necessarily don't.

- There have been many people who have carried the pot for Shadow Demon before, so this time I will suffer you and help me carry this pot.

Sure enough, Meg just glanced at Lily's shadow and didn't say anything the whole time.

They soon arrived in the ceremonial room.

This is the two underground floors of the Silver and Tin Temple, which can maintain absolute silence and atmospheric balance - "underground" also has the meaning of "mysterious", and deep enough and high enough can increase the success rate of the ceremony.

"Are you ready, Lady Meg?"

Although he knew that asking was a vain question, Ivus still needed to confirm again: "If the ritual fails, there is about a one-third chance of death...... Have you written a suicide note? ”

It was the first time he had presided over a ceremony of this calibre - and it was a major ceremony involving Meg's life.

It's impossible to say not to be nervous.

"Ha," Meg said with a fearless smile, "you juniors don't care about this kind of thing." I must have thought of what you can think of, and I must have thought of what you can't think of mine. I even took the time off to help you all take a day off.

"Hurry up—it will be dawn in a few moments. Isn't it waiting for the sun to be born? I don't want to wait another day. ”

"Okay."

Ivus nodded and took a deep breath, "Then let's get started." ”
