As Ryan finished chanting the spell, the rune turned into a handful of gold powder and covered Mrs. Teapot. After touching Mrs. Teapot, the gold powder began to flow slowly on its surface. Finally, one after another golden runes of different sizes were projected in the air.

But what surprised him most was that in addition to these runes, there was a chain made up of golden runes that was connected to the rose placed in the glass cover.

"Hermione, start recording now." Ryan waved his wand and the runes floated in the air to form a strange pattern.

As the rustling sound of transcription stopped, Hermione put down her quill. "Okay, I've drawn the whole picture." Ryan put down his wand, and the golden characters in the air disappeared.

"It takes a lot of magic to maintain this. Fortunately, you acted quickly, otherwise I really couldn't hold on. Well, let me see--" Ryan took what Hermione had just recorded and began to study it carefully. Hermione also came over.

The surrounding furniture held their breath, as if waiting for the verdict of fate. After finally calculating more than a dozen pages of manuscript paper, Ryan shook his head bitterly.

"Can't this problem be solved?" Hermione asked when she saw Ryan's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Although I may have seen a lot among the students, I am still a long way from being a truly powerful wizard. The magic here is not just transfiguration, it also includes the power of life and nature. The most ingenious structure is to use the curse to combine these forces together and maintain the balance between them, and then concentrate all the power on the rose." Ryan pointed to the rose in the glass cover.

"But the problem now is that the knowledge we have lacks systematic study of curses. That is the content of the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts NEWT advanced class. All the books that have detailed explanations of curse magic are in the restricted area. I have never seen any of them, so I don't know what to do." Listening to Ryan's somewhat frustrated words, Hermione put her hand on Ryan's shoulder and patted him gently a few times to comfort him.

What Ryan didn't say was that ancient Viking wizards, like warriors, valued directness, so there was basically not much about curse removal in their heritage. Another type of natural magic simply couldn't contain the kind of content they considered evil.

As for Maoshan Taoism, there are indeed quite a few of these, but they are mainly aimed at the Middle-earth Taoism and have little effect on this kind of Western witchcraft. Thunder magic can indeed break all kinds of magic, but the problem is that the people who are cursed now are a group of ordinary people, who simply cannot withstand the overly violent energy of thunder magic. If it is forcibly performed, it is easy for the curse to be broken and the person to die first.

That is to say, all the knowledge Ryan currently possessed was not enough to safely resolve the curse on these people. This conclusion made him feel a little depressed. After all, he had experienced so many adventures and gained so much power, but he was still powerless when faced with such a situation.

"Oh, child, this is not your business. We made our own mistakes and have to bear the consequences. Well, would you like a cup of hot tea?" Mrs. Teapot poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of them.

"Thank you." Ryan took the teacup and continued, "Although I can't remove the curse from your body, I think I should be able to come up with a way to make you feel a little more comfortable in a short period of time. After all, this curse will make you more and more stiff, which must be very uncomfortable."

"Really? Thank you so much." The candlestick butler jumped up and bowed elegantly to Ryan. "By the way, do you need any help?"

“Plenty of paper, pens, and ink. And a space large enough for experimentation.”

"Well, I know a good place." The Clock Manager climbed up the table clumsily and said, "Come with me."

Led by the Clock Master, Ryan and his companions came to the castle library. "Oh my god, so many books. Although there are not as many books as the Hogwarts Library, this is already a rich collection for a private library." After opening the door, Hermione exclaimed at the room full of books.

"Biographies, literature, adventure notes, and some reference books. But there isn't a single magic book that's useful to us." Ryan came to this conclusion after looking around. "Okay, that's nothing, let's get started."

"I think this should work." More than an hour later, with the help of Hermione, Ryan combined the power of life and nature he had mastered and finally came up with a spell to break the spell. This spell would not affect the curse itself. After all, Ryan and Hermione knew that the ending of the fairy tale was not bad. They were worried that messing around might lead to unpredictable consequences.

So in this magic, they simply used the power of nature and life to allow these people who were cursed and turned into furniture to gain more life force, and built a simple barrier between them and the curse, in order to resist the spell that gradually turned them into dead objects.

"We really succeeded." Just as Ryan and Hermione were high-fiving each other, the door was suddenly pushed open and a rough voice came in. It should be the voice of a beast: "Come on, you can find a few books here to read first... What's wrong with you?"

"That's incredible." Bell's answer came from across several bookshelves.

"Okay, we should find someone to try our spells on." Hermione put away the manuscripts on the table and said to Ryan who was studying. "I know these runes can reveal a lot of things, and I was also immersed in them just now. But helping these cursed people is what we have promised them, so we have to finish this first before studying."

"Yes, you're right. I didn't control myself." Ryan stood up from the table and sorted out the manuscripts on the table with Hermione. To be honest, he was not so obsessed with studying normally, but he was hit hard by the curse today and was a little obsessed. So he quickly sobered up after Hermione's reminder.

When they were ready and walked to the door of the library, they saw Belle covering her mouth in surprise as she looked at the books on the bookshelf.

"What's wrong with you, Miss Belle?" Hermione walked forward and asked.

"Oh, just call me Belle. I was a little bit out of control just now because I was so happy. After all, I like reading, but I didn't expect that there are so many books in the library that I haven't read."

After hearing this answer, Ryan's mouth curled up slightly and he had an urge to complain. Even though there are so many worlds between them, the character represented by this face is someone who likes reading.

Hermione glared at Ryan when she saw his expression. He knew that it was inappropriate for him to do so, so he quickly pretended to look elsewhere.

Originally Ryan wanted to wait until they finished talking before going out to help with the furniture, but the two of them found a common language because they both loved reading, and it seemed like they would never finish talking.

There was no choice but Ryan could only say hello to them and then go look for the furniture alone.
