Chapter 829 - Surprise Meeting III (1/2)
The woman's smile grew wider. ”What do you think about my appearance, do you like it?” she traced her long index finger across her pretty face.
”You use possession spells to control this woman” Lory widen her eyes.
This possession spell is the same as when Girsha possessed a little bird to keep an eye on their surroundings or spy on others without leaving Lory's side, in short, it's a spell to take over another creature's body and consciousness by force and then control the creature remotely, just like a puppeteer.
Lao Min Na sneered, ”Isn't this the same as what you do when you spy on others” Lao Min Na sneered at Lory's hypocrisy.
”That's mostly Girsha's power and we only use that spell on animals!” Lory scorned Lao Min Na's impetuous behavior because Lory knew full well the consequences of using a possession spell on humans were devastating.
”Animal minds are much simple especially small animals it cannot be compared with humans complex minds, what you did would hurt this poor woman's mind, is she your enemy or something?!” anger welled up in Lory's ċhėst, the woman who was possessed by Lao Min Na is still very young maybe only in early twenty, there's still a long life ahead of her but Lao Min Na just ruined this woman future just like that, why?
The study conducted in Harland showed that possession spells will damage the human brain depending on how long and how strong a particular person's spell is inflicted by the spell, the mild effects are vertigo, nausea, seizures but in the worst scenario the spell will cause amnesia, dementia even Schizophrenia since then use possession spells on humans is strictly prohibited and those who violate will be punished from ten to twenty years in maximum security prisons.
”Oh, don't act like goody two shoes, princess, it's not that you've never hurt anyone before..” Lao Min Na snorted.
”Of course I had my own fair share but everyone that I hurt knew what comings on them, they were soldiers, mercenaries, spies, witch and now… cultivators, all of them knew what would come on them. . just like I knew what would come to me, but what have you done… you dare to tell me that everyone around you knows what they are getting themselves into? Lory's intense question made Lao Min Na's face blackened.
Lao Min Na hated Lory's righteousness, she hated how Lory always made her feel inferior, Lory's existence evoked the feeling she had once she was the lowly illegitimate daughter of the Lao family, the feelings of shame, anger, and envy that she tried so hard to forget appeared every time she faces to faces with Lory.
Lao Min Na remembered in the past even in Lao manor Lory was never bullied or hated even though she came from a rural village, strangely the people at Lao Manor never treated Lory badly, they just ignored Lory, none of them ever intentionally bullied her, in fact, they all feign ignorant with Lory's antics, the worst thing they did was call Lory a weird girl but that's all, no one ever took Lory's food, or ruined her maid uniform, she rarely scolded or beaten, even the old maid rarely made things difficult for Lory, most of the time they just let Lory be.
Overall, Lory's life is much more comfortable than she is who is the daughter of the Lord's Manor, and what makes it even more ironic is that Lory doesn't seem to notice.
There was a time when Lao Min Na happened to be present when Lory covered Chi Chi the young maid who accidentally broke her stepmother's expensive vase, resulting in Lory being punished by hitting Lory's hands twenty times with a rattan, at that time Lao Min Na thought Lory was very stupid, why would anyone want to help others without receiving any benefit. Lao Min Na believed someone as stupid as Lory would become someone else's stepping stone and end in a sad death, but Lao Min Na was wrong.
Since then Mu Han the head housekeeper of Lao Manor has become more lenient with Lory, the other servants have also become more friendly towards Lory, they think Lory is kind, honest, and a little silly so they don't need to be careful around Lory, unlike other maids who always struggles to curry favor with his master, Lory prefers to be alone and away from the schemed in the women courtyard.
Therefore Lory's life in Lao Manor is quite peaceful.
Then one day Lao Min Na overheard Lory and a young maid named Chi Chi talking while sweeping the garden outside her yard behind her wall fence.
”Sister Luo, if you were released from the slave contract, what would you do?”
Me?”
”Yes, what are you going to do, are you going back to your village?”
”Um, I don't think so… maybe I'll go somewhere else”
”Eeeh, it's not easy, you need paperwork if you want to leave the city and you need a permit from the local authority to enter other cities too, not to mention there are thieves and robbers along the way, you won't be safe if you travel alone”
”Is that so~”
