A Mortal’s Medicinal Elixirs

Chapter 126 Prophecy With Witchcraft

Frankly, now that the truth had come to light, it struck William rather odd that a grown man could disappear without a trace.

“I just want to know if he’s dead or alive now,” Colleen said with a certain finality.

William’s heart skipped a beat and inquired, “Do you have his hair or any other personal items with you, Mrs. Limsey?”

it

Colleen paused for a second and then answered, “Yes. Then, she took out a pouch from her pocket and cut open with a pair of scissors, revealing a lock of hair within. “This pouch has his hair inside. In his village, this is called the Lovers‘ Pouch, and it’s a common love token between couples,” she explained.

“I see. That’s great. Having a lock of his hair would make things easier. I can check whether he’s still alive,” he said and held a strand of hair in his palm. As he chanted a string of incantations, the hair started to curl up and a foul, burnt smell could be smelled.

Once he opened his palm, they saw that the strand of hair had curled into a ball, surprising Colleen and Elsa because they didn’t expect that he had knowledge of such witchcraft.

“What does this mean, William?” Colleen asked nervously.

“This is just a simple spell. If the hair hasn’t broken apart, it means that he’s still alive,” he said with a smile.

“Alive?” A shiver ran down Colleen’s spine, and tears poured out of her eyes. “Where is he, then? Is he doing well?”

After a moment of silence, William asked, “Do you know the exact time and date of his birth, Mrs. Limsey?”

She nodded and told him. Then, he took out the Emperor’s magic money, held them in his palm, and gave them a shake before scattering them on the table. While he chanted another string of incantations, an image flashed across his mind very quickly as Colleen and Elsa watched on nervously, impatient to know the outcome.

He picked up the coins and said with a hint of surprise, “My reading shows that he’s abroad and not in Igneus.”

“What? Abroad? Can you tell where he is?” Colleen pressed urgently, rising to her feet.

“The reading shows that he’s in the South and very likely in a country there,”

“The South?” Colleen muttered in confusion. “Why did he travel south and didn’t tell me?”

Elsa hugged her mother and whispered, “Mom, at least we know that Dad is still alive. One day, our family will definitely reunite.”

Colleen wiped her tears off her cheeks and gave her a firm nod. “Yes, we’ll see him again.

The atmosphere turned a little heavy, and William hurriedly changed the topic, congratulating Elsa for passing the audition with flying colors. After dinner, around 8.00PM, William told Jason to drive him to the hotel to meet Tia.

making a deal with a group of people. When William arrived, he saw more than a dozen antiques on display on the table, and Turner was carefully inspecting them.

“That’s quite a lot of antiques,” he pointed out with a quirk of his brow.

Tia tugged him to the side and whispered, “My friend introduced them to me, and this is only part of what they have.”

“It looks like a big deal. Let me take a look, William said.

He approached the long table and checked one of the porcelain vases. It was then he quickly noticed that it carried the aura of two eras–the Renaissance and modern times. Adrenalin pumped through his veins, and he scrutinized the item carefully. The bottom of the vase stated that it was produced during the Renaissance period, but the body above the foot clearly showed that it was a modern piece. The counterfeit artist had used a special adhesive and glued two pieces into one. After that, he checked a second piece, which was an antique painting by Raphael. Still, he quickly came to the conclusion that this painting was painted during the late 17th century because it was exuding the aura of the 17th century.

He stopped looking at others and retreated to Tia’s side, whispering urgently, “Don’t make the deal today. Let’s talk about this when we get back.”

Tia was startled by the urgency in his tone. Nevertheless, she trusted him and knew that this wasn’t the time to discuss such matters. So, she nodded and turned her attention to the other party with a practiced smile, “Mr. Fernandez, your antiques look wonderful, and they cost a pretty penny. However, I can’t deny that you have piqued my interest. How about this? Give me some time to scrounge up the money. I promise that we’ll sign the papers and everything else the instant I have enough.”

A middle–aged man with tanned skin said, “Miss Lloyd, you can make a down payment first.”

“I’m so sorry for cutting this short. I’m afraid there’s an emergency that needs our attention and we have to take our leaves for now. Let’s discuss the details of this deal another day,” William said. Turner was smart enough to notice that there was something fishy afoot now that William had made such a statement. So, he played along and pardoned himself from the private room as well. Once that was said and done, they left. the hotel soon after.
