Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 303 302. Curse lifted

"Is the body I brought back useful?"

Lan En stood aside and asked Geralt.

The experienced witcher rubbed his chin while looking at the corpse and thinking.

"Your investigation is much more useful than mine. If he is indeed the murderer who raped and killed the lover, then this corpse can probably eliminate the resentment about death in the curse."

"It's not uncommon for people to complain, and then be distorted into wishes or curses by unknown creatures, or simply strong chaotic magic. There are many sets of applicable curse-breaking techniques in the knowledge of witchers, but complaints The complex and whirlpool of emotions that a person turns into a demon spirit after death is something that is difficult to deal with."

With that said, Geralt sighed.

"So, the last thing I want to do is take on the task of lifting the curse. It's too troublesome."

"At least." Lan En's tone was very relaxed. "At least we know the lover's feelings for Fresnet. She didn't have enough ill intentions when the curse took shape."

He was just a helper anyway, so of course the most troublesome part of the mission had to be left to Geralt.

After the two cleaned up, they walked directly towards the beach where Fresnet stayed and ate.

On the tidal flat, the two demon hunters happened to meet Miss Eliza who came to feed her brother, and the shirt-sleeved cormorant who raised his head on the table and swallowed a whole live fish.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen."

Eliza wiped her hands on the apron around her waist and greeted them both, showing good manners.

Although Geralt felt that if he was the only one here, he would probably not be treated like this.

After Lan En and Geralt also said hello to the noble lady, they looked slightly seriously at the shirt-sleeved cormorant who had finished eating.

"We're almost ready, we can start to break the curse."

After hearing this, the cormorants spread their wings wide, jumped up and down, and screamed, looking very excited.

But Geralt's next words immediately silenced him.

"You must have love in your heart." The old demon hunter instructed the cursed one very seriously. "You have to have sincere love for your lover."

The cormorant in the nettle shirt immediately froze.

Let a person who has transformed from a human into a bird, who can't even control his own poop, who has lived like this for two years, to sincerely love and curse his own people. This will make it difficult for anyone to listen.

Before the cormorant could start barking madly, Lan En stepped forward and told the former baron about his investigation.

The lover's curse was not intentional, just a complaint. If he hadn't been raped and killed later, maybe besides his biological sister, there would be another woman who felt guilty taking care of Cormorant here now.

After Lan En finished speaking, Cormorant seemed stunned and unresponsive, just staring at the body wrapped in canvas on Poppai's horse.

Fresnet's initial resentment was against his lover, whom he thought was just a bad woman who was greedy and cursed.

But resentment turns to guilt when he learns that the so-called 'bad woman' was raped and killed instead of running away just for complaining before accepting his offer.

The facial muscles of a bird do not support the display of complex emotions.

"If you want to get angry, it's better to do it now." Geralt could imagine how Fresnet was feeling right now. He probably wanted to tear the corpse apart.

"This corpse will sink into the lake during the process of lifting the curse. When you turn back into a human, you won't be able to find him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the shirt-wearing cormorant jumped on Popeye's horse like crazy and began to scream randomly while using its claws and beak to tear at the corpse under the canvas.

Eliza turned away and remained silent.

Lann held Poppy's reins to prevent him from being frightened.

Cormorant's body has little physical strength at all, and Fresnet soon had to stop under the intense exercise.

At this time, Geralt removed Mutt's body and placed it near the lake.

Then he took out a women's sapphire brooch from his pocket and hung it on the chest of Freixnet's nettle shirt.

This is an emotional object he obtained after investigating in this direction.

Fresnet was also brought to a location adjacent to the lake by Geralt. The witcher stepped across the muddy beach and knelt down on an exposed stone.

“Stand over the body and start imagining it.”

The witcher's tone became melodious and psychedelic in his meditative state.

The cormorants naturally began to do the same.

"Start imagining that what you see in the reflection of the lake is your own figure as a human being. The brooch is your love, and the corpse is your hate. The power of the curse will follow the flow of love and hate."

Elisa and Lan were standing a little further away. Ordinary people could not feel the flow of chaotic magic in the space, but the demon hunter's silver necklace had already begun to rattle.

At the sapphire brooch on the cormorant's chest, light particles like particle effects began to gather, and then suddenly exploded with a "bang"!

The brooch exploded as if it had been exploded by some force, emitting a shock wave that was completely inconsistent with its size.

However, the cormorant, which was obviously in the same direction as the corpse under its feet, was pushed to the beach by the shock wave, and the corpse tumbled towards the lake in violation of the principles of mechanics.

The light cormorant exploded its feathers in mid-air and turned into a naked strong man.

The originally bulging canvas bag for the corpse seemed to have its contents suddenly shrinking, becoming very deflated and heavy, and then sank into the lake.

Lan En could see clearly from the side that the corpse was not just the 'sinking in the lake' as Geralt said.

It was transformed into a cormorant instead of Fresnet, and was then dragged to the bottom of the lake by the restraint of Chaos Magic.

Miss Eliza excitedly rushed towards Baron Harm who was covered in mud, while Lann walked to Geralt who stood up.

He just wanted to praise the old demon hunter for his proficiency in business, but then the old demon hunter whistled proudly.

"Phew! It really works!"

Lan En's smile froze at that time

Next to him, Fresnet stood up shakily from the beach. It seemed that he still had to adapt to his human body after two years.

A brother and sister hugged each other and cried with joy regardless of the filth on their bodies, while Geralt and Lan turned around and left with a wink.

"Now, you can go to King Aiweier to receive the reward. By the way, how much can you earn by lifting a baron's curse?"

"Fifty full untrimmed crowns are equivalent to five hundred orens."

"Sounds good. Although it can't compare with the three thousand orens you paid for Princess Yada a few years ago, it is still very valuable."

Geralt listened to Lan En's words and supplemented him.

"Don't think that an ordinary baron can make the king pay this price. King Awell wants to marry that Miss Eliza, so he is willing to pay this price."

"Marry Eliza?" Lan En raised his eyebrows, "How old is King Awell?"

"That guy is over fifty. When I went to see him, he even peeed on his pants. If Eliza marries her, she will probably become a widowed queen in a few years. The future will be easy."

"Sounds good. She looks beautiful and insensitive. She is very suitable to be a careless widow queen. And based on the two years she has taken care of her brother, I guess she can be included in fairy tales and be immortalized for generations to come. .”

Geralt nodded in agreement.

"Stories are already circulating. They say that Freixenet turned into a swan, and five of his brothers also turned into swans."

Lan En tilted his head and looked at him in surprise.

"It changed so fast? Last time I heard it was just about swans, but now we have brothers."

"Rumors and fairy tales, I don't know why turning into a swan seems more romantic."
