Wanda Maximoff personally selected her favorite scented candles and planned to use them in her nightly bedtime ritual.
As a qualified witch, she was also taught the steps of making ritual candles by herself and how to use candles in rituals. However, she still liked the candles made by Salomon himself because she thought she could never match them so accurately.
Herbal ingredients make it a perfect balance in efficacy and smell. "Just use an electronic scale and simple chemical experiment utensils." Salomon said, "Now we are out of the era of throwing chicken feet into the crucible.
Accuracy is the essence of the scientific era."
"But I can't create such a nice smell."
"This is just a by-product of my perfume making. You can choose the perfume you like in my laboratory." Salomon said. Wanda Maximoff found that at least one-third of these scented candles contained violet.
And the scent of bergamot, she didn't think it was strange when she thought of the two witches. "These candles will be lit by your bedside, thirteen in total, they will make you fall asleep quickly and make you realize
It was a dream. You will be communicating with me while awake, like a séance. Do you remember what I told you about the séance of Conan Doyle’s wife, Jane Lerkey?”
"Prying the table with your toes?" Wanda Maximoff laughed.
When teaching in the dark cell of Stolac Castle, Salomon, as an outsider, would always talk to the Maximov siblings about some interesting things in order to eliminate the boredom caused by continuous high-intensity teaching, especially
It was a joke made by fake wizards and fake mediums. From the occult trend in the Renaissance to the psychic rituals of the last century, he seemed to know all the interesting news, which was very important to Sister Maximov, who was just a young man in a small town in Eastern Europe at the time.
For my brothers, every story he told was a complete fantasy. They couldn't imagine how there could be such a knowledgeable person in such a world.
"When Houdini questioned the séance saying 'My mother didn't know English', Conan Doyle argued 'How do you know she didn't learn English in heaven'. Although this statement is now
It sounds like a joke, and Jane Luckey's seance ceremony is a complete hoax, but there is still some truth in it." Salomon raised a finger, as if to emphasize, "The dead don't necessarily say anything about us.
A language that you can understand, so there are various kinds of psychic spells in many schools of magic. So be careful when you hear a language that you can understand in your dreams. The existence in the sea of souls that actively initiates communication must have bad intentions.
.”
"That sounds dangerous."
"The Sea of Souls is full of dangers. I believe I have repeated this sentence more than once. Put down the candle now. I am not inviting you here for interrogation, but for you to participate in the witch's wine tasting salon." Salomon.
He smiled and said, "I don't want to be accused by Bayonetta and Joan of Arc, thinking that I treat my guests too harshly."
The white spine hanging down from the snake bone staff floating next to Wanda kept shaking, making a "whooshing" sound. But Salomon just glanced over, and the auxiliary alchemical animal intelligence installed in the staff immediately died down, as if
The spine of the tail hung down and then immediately tightened. Light gray smoke emitted from the ruby eyeballs of the snake's skull, as if a red-hot iron was pressed tightly against the skin. As the alchemical intelligence he wrote the program, even if the alchemical intelligence was very
Largely attuned to and responsive to its new owner's emotions, the staff remains unable to resist its creator.
"Just a guest?"
Salomon shrugged and said nothing.
When the witch returned to the living room, she had already changed her clothes. The original high-waisted sports bra or lace nightgown had been replaced by clothing with a very personal style. There would only be private parties in the manor, but even so, they were still choosing.
I am always interested in evening gowns and matching jewelry - but compared to the standards of ladies and ladies in choosing evening gowns, the evening gowns chosen by witches mainly consider whether they are convenient for activities and shooting. However, Wanda Maxi
Mauve came to the manor wearing jeans and a jacket. She wore no jewelry except for a pair of ruby earrings and a ruby necklace, excluding the magic ring and the bloody gloves Salomon gave her.
The private wine tasting party had to be delayed slightly because the witches invited Wanda to their dressing room to pick out an outfit.
Joan of Arc quietly made a gesture to him, which meant that the plan went ahead as usual.
The giant in golden power armor walked silently on the cold marble floor. He didn't make a sound until the edge of the white cashmere carpet on the sofa in the living room. "My lord, are you concerned about Wanda Maximoff's mental stability?"
What's the sex score?" Hammurabi leaned down and asked sitting on the sofa, "According to the process you set, this needs to be recorded in the latest assessment file."
"It is still at Alpha level, and the score of the snake bone staff's built-in detection program has been exported."
"Kama Taj's mystical mentors believe that the standards you set are too loose. They believe that the target's mental stability is only Delta level." Hammurabi said, "They tried to sneak into the target's dreams to find more clues.
But one of the deacons assisting in the ceremony went crazy, and several mentors determined that Wanda Maximoff's mental stability was beyond control and needed to be dealt with as soon as possible."
"So now she's here."
The emperor poured Hammurabi a glass of wine nonchalantly. Outside the door, Dinah received instructions to close the door to the living room, and at the same time arranged for the maids who were originally going to enter the living room to take a rest. They had just finished cleaning the glass conservatory.
They had a modern river view room with fresh sheets, so there was no need to rush in for service, and there was no need to keep an eye on Hammurabi for fear that he would soil the fruits of their labor.
"Isn't the Master Supreme back yet?"
"No, my lord. It seems that because the Supreme Mage is in charge, Lara Croft's research progress has been somewhat hindered." Hammurabi held the garrison spear and took the wine glass that was a little too small for him.
The amount of this glass of wine is enough to wet his tongue, but it is enough for a guard. He can fully taste the origin, year, soil composition and sunshine conditions of this glass of wine. "However,
I have no problem with what the Arcanists do, because Lara Croft is always trying to break into locked libraries and try to find the secrets inside. Do I need to reiterate the taboos of Karma Taj to her and impose a penalty?
Decision? Oh...no wonder this is a semi-dry wine, there is too much sunshine in the Champagne region to accumulate sugar."
"Let Lara Croft do what she wants to do. Her every move is guided by fate. Maybe we can introduce our prophecy lady to her, although she is a bit crazy..." The emperor frowned,
He shook his head again. The lady who could talk to the stones was the only thing that his prophecy magic could not touch - when he first saw her, she seemed to be talking to the stones, but in fact she was talking to the stones.
The atoms in that stone speak. Perhaps at some time in the past or in the future, an atom in that stone was in someone's body, and the lady was speaking to that person. But no one else but her
I don’t know who that person is. “This is the price of omniscience. That lady’s brain cannot distinguish between the past, present and future, but she is the best person to interpret the fate of Lara Croft. In addition…”
He hesitated for a moment and finally made a decision.
Perhaps it is because Kama Taj lacks manpower, or perhaps this is an area that few people are willing to set foot in. Lara Croft was choked by fine dust falling from the bookshelves more than once. In the Kama Taj Library
Wandering in the library is a very difficult task. Not only do you have to bear the risk of getting lost, but the environment of the library itself is not suitable for human survival. Lara Croft can declare without hesitation that she has been to many places that are difficult for ordinary people to set foot on.
, has many survival skills that ordinary people do not have, but she can swear that even Siberia will not be as dry and cold as the Kama Taj Library - even when she was receiving astrology courses at the Dhaulagiri Observatory, she would not
She felt how cold the snowstorm outside the observatory was, and the hot water in the thermos she brought into the library turned into an icicle in just ten minutes - if she got lost here or slipped and fell, she wouldn't be able to see the bottom.
Even she couldn't survive the spiral staircase.
She had been warned that this was a less taboo place, which meant that as long as she had a permit, she could enter and face some dangerous books and objects inside. However, no one would grant her this permit.
, because she is not a member of Karma Taj, she does not even have the psychic talents of the worst apprentices, and she cannot even handle the simplest supernatural threats. But someone tacitly allowed her to enter here, and even prepared some for her.
Necessities to protect herself - such as pistol bullets with solidified mercury-like bullets, and dense symbols engraved on the bullet shells. She could only use her limited occult knowledge and profound historical knowledge to distinguish that the symbols on them were runes.
In addition, there are also adventure props such as cold light candles that never go out and ropes that never end.
"I'm so glad you're here, Lara Croft!" The female voice was startled. She turned around and found a figure standing behind her wearing a dark blue robe and a wooden hat with funny eyeballs on it.
The woman wearing the blindfold said, "I've been waiting for you here for a while, probably a few days!"
"Prepare a 'Seraph Serum' for her." This is said to be the most effective medicine known in the wizarding world, and is known as a panacea. People who drink this serum will immediately recover and heal all wounds.
Magical curses (such as blindness) or diseases are controlled and then slowly healed over a few days. Although the Seraph serum is not a true panacea, he believes it is enough. "I know the Kama Taj within
I don't have much in stock, but I think Lara Croft needs it. Tell those occult teachers that I don't use the real elixir (Otkid's Elixr), so if they still have it
If you have any opinions, I will go to them personally. It's time for you to leave, Hammurabi. Before you leave, do me a small favor."
Just when the Imperial Guards couldn't figure out what was going on, Milia, who was wearing a down jacket, rode a goat that was only about the height of a person and unceremoniously opened the door of the living room. A maid holding a chain sword came in.
She was chasing after her, and it could be seen from the expression on the maid's face that she wanted to prevent Milia and the goat from disturbing the master's meeting, and to prevent the goat's hooves full of garden soil from soiling the manor, but she did not dare to go too far.
To stop the goat roughly - meaning to behead the goat on the spot - so as not to hurt or frighten Melia, and make the expensive carpet even worse. Hammurabi immediately turned around, bent down, held down the goat with his bare hands and hit him.
The goat head that came over, no matter how much the animal, which was indulged by Milia, struggled, was in vain. Surprisingly, the animal that should have been afraid of the Guards actually struggled desperately this time, as if the genetic instinct for the creature at the top of the food chain was
All timidity has been eliminated.
Salomon took the girl off the sheep's back.
"What did you feed it, little goat rider?"
Originally they were just a few little lambs as pets, but these goats that have passed their estrus have grown bigger and bigger due to gene editing, and can even be used as training animals for Milia before riding horses. After all the bear cubs entered the forest and settled
After that, after losing their natural enemies, they began to be dissatisfied with eating some grass. More than once, Salomon saw Milia secretly feeding the carrots, eggs, milk or bacon that she couldn't eat for breakfast to the goats, and then claimed to the witch
He ate all the food on the plate. From then on, Salomon could no longer be sure whether there was anything else in the stomachs of the goats besides the seasonal flowers and fodder in the garden that should have appeared on Melia's plate.
s things.
"Afternoon tea!" the girl replied proudly, "a lot!"
Hearing this answer, even Salomon felt suffocated.
She must have taken advantage of his leisure time after enjoying afternoon tea with the witches, sneaking into the glass conservatory and taking away the cocktails, desserts and barbecue before the maids had time, and then enjoyed them with her animal friends. At that time
No one has time to interfere with Millia's behavior. Even Dinah is busy processing biological materials. Millia can do whatever she wants. Salomon doesn't want to teach her a lesson for this kind of thing. After all, Millia can sneak in secretly.
Lockable glass greenhouses are also her skills and need encouragement and correct guidance. "Hamurabi, Tatiana, please help me throw this sheep into the forest." Salomon said softly. If he was not wrong in his estimation.
, now the goat has consumed a lot of alcohol, but he did not expect that a goat would be so irritable after being drunk. "I think the bear cub in the forest should be happy to see an old friend."
"Are we going to kill this animal?" Tatyana finally took the opportunity to speak. She said viciously, "This beast almost caused irreparable damage to the art in the manor!"
"Let it live, I don't want to be woken up by Milia's cry."
