"Good luck then. Cynthia said.

After saying that, she also briefly packed up her things and got up, and walked out of the library with Allen.

Originally, Cynthia invited Alan to lunch with her, but because she was worried that Riel would always wait for him to eat with her, Alan politely declined, and he also wanted to tell Riel about it as soon as possible.

When Alan returned to his room, it was already past twelve o'clock, and it was supposed that Riel should be lying in bed in a daze at this time, waiting for him to come back and eat together, but when he reached the door, he found that the door was locked.

"Huh, this guy has been out for so long today?" he couldn't help but be curious, and went downstairs to borrow a spare key from Will.

But as soon as he entered the house, he had just poured himself a glass of water, and before he could sit down, he heard a rush of footsteps. He looked back and saw that it was Riel pushing the door in.

"Where have you been, and how did you come back?" Alan asked, sipping water. But when he saw Riel's appearance, he was stunned, because Riel was covered in mud and the two fingers of his left hand were wrapped in a thick circle of gauze.

"What's going on?" Alan quickly asked, with a hint of unease floating through his heart.

"Alas!" Riel sighed heavily, his face sad, "Don't mention it, I wonder if the bad luck in the world has fallen on the two of us......"

"What the hell is going on?" asked Alan again.

"It's really unlucky!" Rare looked disgruntled, and sat on the edge of the bed for a long time before saying, "It's raining for several days, and today I finally saw the sun, and I had a full breakfast, so I wanted to walk around the campus...... It was almost noon when I wanted to lie on the bench and bask in the sun for a while, and then come back to you for lunch, but my clothes were somehow caught in a nail on the bench...... Strange to say, the nail was still in the gap between the back of the bench and the surface of the chair...... It took me a long time to get my clothes out of my clothes in order to prevent them from being scratched, but I accidentally cut two large fingers, so I had to go to Dr. Watson to help me with the wound...... Fortunately, he never left his post without permission, and if he fished for three days and dried his nets for two days like everyone else, he would have to delay it for a longer time......"

After listening to this, Alan chuckled in his heart and blurted out: "It's another accident!"

"Not only that......" Riel said, pouting and pointing to the mud on his body, "I saw a lily in the corner of the garden that was still blooming when I came back, and I wanted to stop and look at it when I remembered the heavy rain and wind that had been there two days ago...... But I don't know who didn't walk long and hit me from behind, and I fell straight into the garden...... You know, it just rained, and the dirt is still wet......"

After listening to this, Alan pursed his lips and did not speak, pacing back and forth in the room.

"Alas...... I thought I would finally be able to stop for a few days, but I didn't expect this bad luck to come to my door......" Riel muttered quietly as he changed his clothes, "It looks like I don't want to go out in the afternoon......"

Hearing this, Alan said, "Then I'll tell you something, don't be surprised after you hear it......

"What?" Riel had just changed his dirty clothes, and seeing that Eren was so serious, he also realized that the problem seemed to be serious, and quickly asked.

"Actually, these so-called accidents or bad luck happen...... It's all done by Little Stewart and Little Biller. ”

"What did they do?" Riel stared at the ceiling for a long time with a confused look on his face, and then said, "But...... I can see clearly the people who crashed me into the garden, not them...... The man apologized to me and ran over and pulled me up from the ground...... And that bench is the one you sit on a lot, it's very secluded and there's no one around me when I lie down......"

"Well, you don't see what I mean...... Alan said slowly, "I mean, it's true that neither of them was personally involved in these accidents, but they were responsible for these accidents. ”

Riel was confused by Alan's words and looked at him dumbfounded.

"Let me tell you that......" Seeing that Riel still didn't understand, Alan said bluntly, "All these accidents that only happened to you and me are the result of the effect of witchcraft. ”

"What?" Riel was stunned, "What spell?"

"Witchcraft. "A spell that is as old as magic, but eventually obsolete by the world and time...... Those who wield this power are called shamans, and little Stewart and Bilber Jr. are descendants of shamans. ”

Riel still didn't understand, so Alan patiently told Riel all the information he had gotten from Cynthia, from the cause to the conclusion.

"So these are the ghosts that little Stuart and little Bilber are doing behind their backs!?" Riel felt like his lungs were going to explode after hearing this, after all, he didn't suffer a lot from it.

"Yes, it seems to be so now. ”

"And Ivan is still an accomplice!" Little Stewart and Little Bilber have been grudges with them for a long time, and he knows this, but as soon as he heard that this matter actually involved Ivan, Riel instantly became angry.

"Shhhh After all, Ian and the others should be coming back at this time, so it's not good for either of them to hear it.

"Hmph! I thought he was such a backbone man!" Rare didn't seem to hear Allen's words at all, and continued to shout, "Think about what a high-sounding thing he said when he was angry at us that day!

"Don't blame him too much...... I don't think he meant to do it......" Alan thought for a moment and said, "I guess he doesn't know what the hair does...... He must have just taken the money and did what little Stewart or little Bilber told him to do. ”

Remembering that little Bilber went to get close to Ivan for the first time in class that day, Alan understood why, it seems that they have been planning this since then.

"I think he was originally just trying to gain the appreciation of little Vervadora so that he could work in his house...... But I didn't expect to be used by little Bilber. Allen said.

"Hmph, no matter why, little Stewart and little Bilber committed a felony that would be imprisoned in the Misty Forest, and he won't be able to escape it when the time comes!" Riel was still a little reluctant.

Alan was about to say something, but the door was suddenly slammed open.

They were both startled, and turned their heads to see Ian standing in the doorway.

"Uh......" Ian looked nervous, sweaty, and wanted to say something but opened his mouth to say nothing.

Alan and Riel looked at him, and he just looked at them in a daze.

It took a while for Ian to speak, "Uh...... Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop......"

Alan walked to the door, poked his head out and looked into the hallway, where there was no one else, and closed the door again.

"As soon as I walked to the door, I heard you guys discussing how Ivan was doing, and I couldn't help but listen to a few more words......" Ian's chest rose and fell a lot, and his emotions were still a little excited, "Ivan he ......"

"It's okay, don't be nervous, sit down and talk slowly. Alan pulled him to the edge of the bed and sat down, then poured him a glass of water, "I believe Ivan he was just being used by someone with bad intentions, in fact he didn't know about it." ”

"Uh-huh, I think so too!" Ian nodded repeatedly, "Although my brother has a very stubborn temper and sometimes has a bit of ideas, his essence is not bad!"

Only then did Eren realize that Ian only heard that Ivan might also be imprisoned in the Misty Forest, so he pushed the door open in a panic.

"Take it easy, I know that, too. Alan reassured, "Rare was just talking angry things, don't take it too seriously." ”

Remembering that Ian was usually kind to them, Riel had no choice but to smack his lips and not be committal.

"What are you going to do next? report it to Professor Stubourne, or go straight to Mr. Winslow?" asked Ian, worried.

"No...... We don't have enough evidence to prove that they used witchcraft. "I think that with Professor Stubourne's personality, he would not only not care about this matter, but might have taken it as if we were making fun of him, and might have reprimanded us." ”

"That'...... What are you going to do?" Ian was relieved to hear this.

"I don't know......" Alan said again, "it's just ......"

"What?"

"We must not sit idly by. Allen's expression was serious, "Yesterday it was me, I almost lost my life, and today it's Riel...... Those curses have already begun to take effect on Riel, and we don't know what terrible things will happen next, and we can't let them continue to do this. ”

"Then I'll let Ivan stop when he gets back!" Ian said quickly, and then asked in a tone that was close to pleading, "You guys...... For the sake of our usual affection, we will spare him this time, okay?"

"Uh......" Alan was momentarily speechless, because he didn't want to do anything to Ivan in the first place, everything was caused by Little Stewart and Little Bilber.

"That's it!" Riel said in a flash of inspiration, "I have an idea...... If you can help us get rid of the two pests on the second floor, as I said, then we will treat what Ivan did before as if we didn't see it, and we won't be to blame for the past!"

"What?" Ian asked as soon as he heard this.

I saw Riel smile wickedly and said, "Alan told me just now, what does it take to make these curses take effect?"

"Uh...... Sorry, I didn't hear that part......" Ian said a little awkwardly.

"Catalyst!" said Riel, "that's what Ivan is responsible for collecting, our hair!"

"Ah......" As soon as he heard the word, Alan instantly understood what Riel wanted to do, "You want to ......"

"That's right......" Riel said, grabbing a hair from his head, then holding it up, looking at the light for a few moments before saying, "Let them suffer their own consequences!"
