There is no gorgeous magic, no complicated magic circle. When Madoc said these words dejectedly under Harley's cold gaze, the curse was automatically lifted and Calliope was reborn.
Harley is actually very interested in the spell that binds Calliope.
Although Maddock knew there was magic in the world, he barely understood it. But Hitchlake, who captured the Muse in 1927, must have mastered a remarkable contract ritual.
He was specifically hunting the Muses on Mount Helicon.
The magic grass flower is a key prop, but it is not the core element of the ritual.
His rituals are dedicated to the Muses and are somewhat similar to exclusive sacrificial rituals.
Well, Harley used Lucifer's exclusive ritual to "forcibly" summon him and reached a contract with him for the protection of the highest law.
Lucifer's exclusive sacrificial ritual was invented by himself, and he could only force his attention to ignore "turn off the phone".
But the dominance has always been in Lucifer's hands. Unless he cheats, he will never be allowed to do what he doesn't want to do.
Almost every god has its own ritual of sacrifice.
There must be a muse too.
However, Hitchlake gained complete dominance in "Exclusive Ceremony".
Harley guessed that someone should have obtained the Muse's exclusive sacrificial ritual and modified the ritual into an "anti-Muse exclusive ritual."
Harley is a little greedy. If she gets it, it will be very easy to kidnap the muse in the future.
Unfortunately, Hitchcock died early, Madoc was a Muggle, and only Calliope knew the secret of the ritual.
In the end, Harley let Madoc go.
Well, I just kicked him a few times.
It wasn't because of the 'superhero rules', it was Calliope who dissuaded her.
"Letting him live is the biggest punishment for him." She said with hatred.
"Should he be asked to repent for the rest of his life?" Harley asked strangely.
Calliope shook her head, "They will never regret the evil they did to me, but they will regret that the time they have with me is not eternity."
"What do you mean? They have fallen in love with you and can't live without you? Madoc was planning to give you away before!"
"What they need is not me, but inspiration. Maddock is my third master. The previous ones, Frye and Hitchlake, all committed suicide.
Inspiration is to writers what singing voice is to singers; once they have had it, they cannot bear to lose it.
Whether God has mercy on my misfortune or not, He will punish those who commit suicide.
Frye and Hitchlake have gone to hell, and Maddock will be no exception.
They are used to being bursting with inspiration when they have me, and the exhaustion of their ideas in the remaining years will be like a sharp knife, cutting into pieces of their souls.
When they couldn't bear the contrast between before and after, death seemed to be the final relief.
But death is just the beginning, they will receive eternal punishment in the 'Forest of Suicides' in hell." Calliope said happily.
It dawned on Harry that Calliope's inspiration was like a spiritual opiate for a writer who desperately wanted to create.
"So, George Martin still escaped?" Ivy said.
Even if Madoc was released, Harry would naturally not kill Fat Martin who didn't have time to make a mistake.
Moreover, if the fat horse is removed, the finale of "Ice and Fire" will really never be seen again.
"Although George Martin did not have time to hurt me, neither I nor all the Muses will bestow any more blessings on him.
The road of creation in the future will depend entirely on him, and it is destined to be extremely difficult." Muse said indifferently.
Harley sighed secretly. In her last life, she didn't wait for the ending of "A Song of Ice and Fire". In this life, I'm afraid... well, not necessarily. Even if old Martin goes to hell, he can continue to create.
"Why would Madoc send you away at this time? Moreover, the spell is too simple, just one sentence." Harley asked curiously.
"All magic in this world comes with a price." Calliope obviously didn't want to talk more about the ritual that bound her, so she abruptly changed the subject: "How did you find me?"
"Honor Hera, Harley is indeed a 'magical witch'. It only took one afternoon to find you." Cleo's face was full of excitement, and her eyes when looking at Harley were full of gratitude and admiration.
"Big data screening and keyword matching are much easier than expected." Harley said casually.
It's as simple as the reborn person looking for the reborn Wen Chao Gong.
Rick Maddock is too flamboyant.
The most serious person, Nobel Prize winner, the greatest poet after Byron, and the most talented director in Hollywood, the rebirth of Wen Chai Gong is nothing more than that.
He was the first on Rich's list of suspects.
Coincidentally, George Martin is also among them.
Then Harley arrested them both on the spot.
Back at Quinn Manor, after breakfast the next day, the two muses said goodbye to Harley.
Harry could see that Clio was reluctant to leave the prosperous world, while Calliope had been suffering in this world for decades and was almost suffering from a psychological shadow.
"Which way are you going back?" Harley asked.
"Mount Olympus in Greece and the Alps in Europe all have passages to the heavens.
It is more difficult to descend from heaven to earth because the passage is sealed from top to bottom.
But it will be very easy to return to the heavenly realm from the mortal world." Cleo explained.
"Okay, you guys have a good trip," said Harley.
"Harry, you saved me. I am extremely grateful and want to repay you. I don't know what you need." Calliope said sincerely.
Harry glanced at Cleo beside him. If she was no longer present, she would definitely not mind the 'repeated charge' and let Calliope give her a few more golden apples.
Well, Cleo fulfilled her promise last night and handed over a golden apple. She also promised to cut off an apple branch when she goes back and give it to her next time she comes to Earth.
Harley gave a golden apple to Ivy, who was drooling next to her, and took a few sips. Then she stuffed it into her mouth, swallowed it, and spit out two apple seeds.
Food defense expertise increased from 95% at level 5 to 7% at level 6
Food Defense Specialty Level 6: 7%, Intermediate Rare Objects, in addition to any food, nutritional or magical objects can also be swallowed, for example, magic tools below artifacts.
Harley finally discovered that the defensive expertise seemed to be very ordinary at a low level, but once it reached a high level (passed level 6), it immediately became abnormally powerful.
She can now chew magic weapons raw!
…
"No, we are friends, what kind of reward do I need? Besides, Clio gave me a golden apple a long time ago." Harley pretended to be heroic and full of regret.
"When I was locked up in the attic, I once stood by the window and made a wish to the gods and demons in the sky. Whoever could save me would give me my most precious treasure.
This is an oath and cannot be broken.
It's just that the treasure I think is not necessarily what you want, so you should first tell me what you want." Calliope said.
Alas, it was too late to save you. If you were imprisoned for a few more decades, you would most likely make a wish and give all your treasures to your savior.
Harley thought regretfully.
"It doesn't matter, just give me a gift and make it a souvenir for me."
She didn't ask for the golden apple.
The defense expertise's progress of a few percent didn't help her significantly.
Calliope thought for a moment and took out a diamond necklace from the small pocket on her waist.
Silver silk chain, pink diamond the size of thumb belly.
"This is the dream stone given to me by my ex-husband, and it is also my most cherished necklace.
When you wear it, you will not only have sweet dreams in your arms every night, but you may also enter the kingdom of dreams..."
Calliope handed the necklace to Harry with a sad expression.
"Who is your ex-husband?"
The red diamond tentacles don't have any abnormal sensations, not even magical aura, and are no different from ordinary pink diamonds.
"Morpheus, Sandman."
Harley's almond-shaped eyes widened, "Is it the Sandman Morpheus from the Kingdom of Dreams?"
"Well, that's him." Calliope nodded.
Harley looked at her strangely.
Of the eight divine realms of Limbo, God only occupies two of them, Heaven and Hell; Heaven and Hades, Apokolips and Creation Star, are also a pair each, but Heaven is a joint venture of the old gods, Apokolips and Creation Star
They belong to Uncle Da and Heavenly Father respectively.
Only the Kingdom of Dreams and the Kingdom of Nightmares belong to the same person, Morpheus the Sandman.
Morpheus is also a member of the high-end Endless family.
Such a arrogant person has actually been cheated by mortals for decades...
However, Calliope's ability to marry Morpheus is considered a coax.
"Since it's a token of love from your husband, how dare I accept it?" Hallie said politely, but she held the necklace tightly in her hand.
Calliope said bitterly: "In the past eighty years, I have called him countless times in my dreams, begging him to help me, but he has never responded to me.
Since he is so heartless, there is no point in keeping the old token of love."
"Calliope, you have misunderstood Morpheus. He disappeared less than two years after you disappeared.
It seemed like I was trapped somewhere and couldn't help myself.
In recent decades, many dream creatures have taken advantage of the chaos to escape into the human world, and the country of dreams is in chaos!" Clio said.
"Who can trap him?" Calliope said in shock.
"I don't know, prophecy magic is often ineffective against gods, not to mention he is not an ordinary god." Clio shook his head.
"So, he is not desperate..."
Calliope looked dazed, and her eyes slowly fell on Harley's coat pocket.
In two words, she had already put the necklace into her pocket.
Harley changed the subject with a natural expression, "Would you like me to give you a ride on the airship?"
"No, no need."
Calliope sighed and left Quinn Manor with her sister.
The Dream Stone was stranger than Harry expected.
Wearing it, she seems to feel the beauty of the world more easily.
For example, rainy days often make people feel depressed. The Dream Stone makes Harley intoxicated by the melody of rain, and the dark and humid scenery also shows a different charm in her eyes.
She felt that if she wore that thing for a long time, one day she would become a poet.
When meditating, you will become calmer and more tranquil, and your efficiency will increase several times.
When she was sleeping, she really only had sweet dreams. On the first day, she dreamed that Da Chao punched her and the experience jar turned into a fountain. She suddenly rose to level 100. Da Chao looked horrified and shouted, "Why did I break the level in a row?"
"You can't even defend yourself"; the next day, she dreamed that she became the leader of the Sky Eye Society and entered the treasure house to plunder; on the third day, all members of the Justice League gathered together just to escort President Quinn who was parading in victory; the third day
For four days, she seemed to feel other lives in her dreams...
On the fifth day, Constantine's sister came over and asked about the whereabouts of Kang, because their father was hit in the head by a stray bullet and died while watching Batman fight bank robbers on the side of the road.
Sister Kang needs Zha Kang to go home immediately for the funeral.
"After Rich passed away last time, he never contacted me again..." Harley said hesitantly: "I will try my best to help you find the person. If the old gentleman's burial date is postponed for a longer time, he can't miss it."
It is now December 12, 2013, and December 25 is the winter solstice.
The day of the coming of the Son.
Zha Kang must have been very busy recently.
Sister Kang nodded, then looked embarrassed and said, "Miss Quinn, there is one more thing I would like to ask you for help with. My Gemma seems to have encountered something dirty again."
"When did it happen?" Harley's expression changed slightly. If something like this happened at this time, there would probably be another demon who would attack Zha Kang's relatives.
"About two days ago, she said she felt uncomfortable. It seemed like something was hanging on her back, which was cold and wet... Alas, my father had just passed away and she was too busy. I thought she had a fever in her head, so I gave her a few pills.
I took her cold medicine and told her to go to sleep, and she didn't wake up until now. That's when I realized something was wrong."
