After a while, a tiny bug the size of a grain of rice crawled out of Elbert's ear. Before Simone could react, the little snake opened its mouth and swallowed the bug. Its eyes shone, and it expressed a desire for more delicious food to Simone. Simone touched its head and smiled. "Do you like it? I'll find opportunities for you to eat more in the next few days." Since the powerful great warlock had come willingly, she couldn't let him leave empty-handed. The little snake happily rubbed against Simone's hand and showed its affection. It was so adorable. Bailey was also surprised when he saw the snake's attachment and fondness for Simone. "It's very attached to you." Normally, a creature like this should be wary of humans who practice mystical arts. Simone smiled and said, "It probably sees me as family." It was also a coincidence that when she went to that place, the mother of the little snake perished along with the eagle. Otherwise, if the little snake had hatched first and had contact with the big snake, it wouldn't have relied on her like this.But she didn't feel fortunate. If she could choose, she would still hope that the mother of the little snake hadn't died. Bailey guessed roughly when he heard this. Simone was probably the first person the little snake saw after hatching. This girl had extraordinary luck. He said, "This is your destined fate; it's good." Then, he felt a movement in his heart and frowned. "That powerful great warlock is coming toward Cubilis." When he fought against the great warlock, he had already sensed his presence. So, even though there was a considerable distance between them, he could feel that the great warlock was getting closer in this direction. He asked, "Is he coming to seek revenge on you?" Because of the restrictions of this city and the limitations of heaven's laws, he couldn't easily engage in a battle with someone of the same level. Otherwise, the more energy and vitality he consumed, the more he would be bound by this city. Although this city was dead, he had a feeling that it wanted to devour him. So, in the end, either he would refine this city or be devoured by it. But Simone had found a way for him to refine the city, so if that powerful great warlock came to trouble her... He owed her a great favor and couldn't just stand by. He decided to take action. Simone noticed the complex expression in Bailey's eyes. She smiled and said, "Who said he's coming to seek revenge on me? Maybe we can even cooperate." Bailey was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. "Cooperate?" He then chuckled. "You little trickster. It turns out it was planned in advance. Alright, then, I don't need to meddle in this matter." Simone chuckled lightly. "You are my senior, so if I have any trouble, of course, you have to take care of it." She asked, "Is the great warlock stronger than me?" From Bailey's implication, if he had to help, it meant that he thought she couldn't defeat the other party. Bailey replied, "Judging from the aura, he is much stronger than you. You have just entered the Divine State, and he should be close to the later stage. He is also an experienced old guy who has lived for over 200 years, so he has a lot of battle experience. Do you think you can defeat him?" Simone smiled meaningfully. "That's not necessarily the case. His aura strength is stronger than mine, but he may not have more means than me. He may not only kill me but even if he injures me, he must be prepared to be seriously injured himself." She still had confidence in this.After reaching the Divine State, she would be able to use many of her techniques and secret methods. When he saw her appearance, Bailey didn't think she was being arrogant. "If there is a chance, I really want to witness it." Simone replied with a smile, "We can have a battle and exchange techniques another day. Then, you will be able to witness it." She also wanted to test Bailey's strength. She had noticed before that when the old guy heard her mention Bailey, he showed signs of headache and fear. This indicated that his strength was definitely above that old guy. Bailey laughed. "Then, I have to refine this city; otherwise, it will consume too much of my energy and vitality, which will cause me a lot of trouble." Simone remembered a sentence her master mentioned in a letter. 'This city was a prison, and it would be best not to come if possible.' This indicated that there was something strange about this city. When she came this time, she also felt a bit uncomfortable in this city, but she felt that it might not be a problem with the city. However, when Bailey finished refining the city, this kind of problem should no longer exist. She said, "Then, I will tell you the secret method now. If you can refine it quickly, maybe this time, we can go to Cebros together." If she could bring Bailey back to Cebros, she didn't know if it would startle the old guy. When she thought about this, she suddenly felt a bit excited. Bailey was also looking forward to it. "Alright, I hope I can go with you." Simone beckoned to him, and he leaned his head over. She whispered in his ear and taught him the secret method. Bailey had a strong ability to comprehend, and he had lived for so many years. So, after he listened once, he remembered and roughly understood it, but he still needed to ponder on it before he could start trying. "I'll go back to my room to ponder on it, and he's in your hands." Bailey stood up and said, "If that powerful great warlock comes to bother you, just call my name, and I will come to help you." He wanted to focus on studying secret arts, so he might not pay attention to the situation in the ancient city, but if someone called him, he would immediately sense it. Simone nodded. "Okay." had a deep connection with Cubilis, so he could only rely on himself to refine it.She couldn't help. Otherwise, there might be sudden changes, and he would end up in trouble. After Bailey left, Elbert woke up. "Simone, what happened to me just now?" He had a vague memory of Bailey pressing his head, and then he didn't know anything. He was indeed powerful. Simone said, "Just now, Bailey put you to sleep so that we could easily remove the curse. The curse in your mind has been removed, and you will no longer be troubled by it, nor will you be in danger." Elbert was delighted. "That's great. I knew it; you are dependable." Simone said with a smile, "Of course I am." They chatted for a while before heading to the front yard to find Nicholas and his wife, who seemed to be anxious. As expected, they couldn't remain still and were pacing restlessly around the yard. Upon seeing Simone and Elbert, their faces displayed signs of nervousness. "What's happened?" Elbert smiled and replied, "The curse has been successfully lifted." It wasn't just Simone who confirmed this. He could feel it himself; the oppressive and perilous sensation in his mind had vanished.Nicholas and his wife were overjoyed. "That's fantastic." Simone had indeed proven to be more dependable than Salma. The two of them sincerely expressed their gratitude to Simone. They also suggested that Simone visit the mine and explore the area. If she happened to come across any vital energy stones, she could take them. They suspected that those stones would be beneficial to a geomancer. That old man would only be interested in them and would use Simone to harm him. Nicholas, being a businessman, understood this after careful consideration. They were truly grateful to Simone and wanted her to find those stones. After a moment of contemplation, Simone didn't refuse. If an ordinary person possessed such an item, it would be like a child holding a gold brick, which could be dangerous. She could find it and use it herself or even feed it to the little snake. Furthermore, she could also provoke that old man and accomplish two things at once.Afterward, Simone asked the three of them to return to Cebros first, as she had something to attend to for a day. The Johnston family of three was sensible and booked an afternoon flight. In the afternoon, they departed, and Simone sat cross-legged in the yard. In the evening, she suddenly opened her eyes. She looked towards the gate of the yard, and the powerful great warlock had arrived.
