The Forbidden Magic Laws of a Fallen Princess

On top of the skull's head, there was a talisman that was already severely weathered.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Earthbound Spirit Appears

At this moment, Lilith picked up the oil lamp and walked over, and the skeleton was instantly illuminated by the bright light.

"It's so miserable..."

I couldn't help but cover my mouth with my hands. Anyone who saw this scene would think that she must have experienced something indescribable before she died.

After observing the skeleton more closely from a distance, I realized that its frame was really small, definitely around my age, that of a child of about eleven or twelve years old. To be precise, such a small frame should belong to a girl...

As for why I could tell at a glance, there's no need to ask... because the earthbound spirit that scares me every night tells me intuitively that it's definitely a very mischievous female ghost...

And let's speculate that this skeleton was probably a living person before it was abandoned a hundred years ago, or perhaps something happened to the family, so they were trapped inside and starved to death.

The talismans on the skeleton may indicate that someone moved into the house because it was cheap, but it was haunted, so they invited a high-ranking monk from the East to perform a ritual. The dish with candles next to the skeleton is a very obvious piece of evidence.

However, the girl's earthbound spirit harbored extremely deep resentment. Even with the help of magic, it was probably not completely sealed away. That's why no one dared to demolish or rent this big house, probably because of this earthbound spirit.

Although all of this is just my wild guess.

So, to confirm my guess, we'll have to go and ask the earthbound spirits here ourselves.

And so I slowly began to approach the skeleton.

"Your Highness, isn't this too dangerous...?"

"It's okay, leave it to me..."

When I arrived at the child's skeleton, I couldn't help but swallow hard and reached out with trembling hands to touch the talisman on the skeleton.

In an instant, the talisman turned into black ash like flying sand and disappeared into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the oil lamp in Lilith's hand was blown out, and the entire basement began to shake as if an earthquake had struck, and the shaking became more and more violent.

Soon, he began to have difficulty standing.

"What is going on here..."

"Is it going to... collapse?"

Lilith and Louise couldn't help but start to get agitated. Indeed, this was no ordinary earthbound spirit, but rather a very powerful one.

Otherwise, how could they have caused my mind to hallucinate before?

"Who on earth dares to disturb my slumber!"

Suddenly, a terrifying, glowing ghost head burst out from inside the skull, staring at us with a ferocious expression.

"Uh...this house really is haunted!"

Then, all that was heard was the sound of a sword being drawn with a "whoosh," and Louise must have been very nervous as she drew the sword from her waist.

“Louise…it’s no use. Human weapons are useless against earthbound spirits…”

However, it is only effective against these earthbound spirits...

"correct!"

Suddenly it dawned on me that I had brought a whole bunch of salt. Using salt to drive away vengeful spirits is actually quite effective, but I wonder how it will work on more powerful ones.

Without saying a word, I reached into the sack of salt I had just brought over and forcefully sprinkled it onto that glowing, big ghost head.

Instantly, the glowing female ghost head seemed to have met its nemesis, and immediately closed its eyes tightly, as if it were in considerable discomfort.

"Ptooey, you brat, what the hell did you spit out? It's making me feel awful, cough cough cough..."

However, this thing seems quite useful, so let's continue.

So without saying a word, I grabbed another handful of salt and sprinkled it on the glowing female ghost's head again.

"Ouch, that hurts so much! Little girl, stop it! It hurts! It hurts!"

At this moment, the large, glowing female ghost was rolling around in the air, her head throbbing with pain.

"In that case, hurry up and reveal your true form. Stop constantly transforming into this scary appearance. Who are you trying to frighten?"

Although I'm furious right now, since she's just a child turned into a bound spirit, I'll at least give her a way out if she dares to disobey my orders.

Hmph, then I will definitely pour the holy water that Teacher Kafni gave me down without any mercy.

"Okay... fine, I'll listen to you, really."

She puffed out her ugly cheeks and couldn't help but complain.

Then, with a "pop" sound, the glowing female ghost head seemed to deflate, and the main character began to transform into human form.

"Oh dear, is this what you looked like when you were alive?"

After she transformed into human form, I could hardly believe my eyes.

Because she is quite cute, she has short green hair, a red headband, and a seemingly innocent chubby face. She is wearing a noble school uniform that is definitely out of step with the times. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the academy's uniform.

It seems this earthbound spirit is actually a noble lady, which surprised me.

"That's right, but you guys are so annoying! I finally get to sleep so soundly, and you all wake me up with your constant chatter, especially you silver-haired one, you talk the most!"

As she spoke, the young lady of the earthbound spirit pointed her finger directly at me.

"I……"

This left me speechless for a moment.

Indeed, the happiest person in this house is actually me, because this is my harem. If I am unhappy, how can they be happy?

So don't even think about it ╭(╯^╰)╮.

"Well, well, well, so, Miss Earthbound Spirit, what exactly caused you to become an Earthbound Spirit, and why are you imprisoned here?"

Seeing that my mouth was gagged, Lilith quickly broke the silence and asked directly.

It seems that Lilith has become an indispensable and capable assistant to me. It seems that in the future, I can rely on her to handle anything.

"You mean you want to hear how I die?"

At this moment, the ghostly young lady sat cross-legged in the air, resting one hand on her chin, seemingly not believing that we wanted to hear her story.

"Hmm... Tell us, we'd really like to know why a noble lady ended up like this, dying in this basement."

It was clear from her demeanor that she wanted to speak, but she had no one to confide in for the past hundred years.

If someone had confided in him like that, perhaps he wouldn't have been so mischievous, scaring the person looking for a toilet to pick flowers half to death in the middle of the night.

In that case, perhaps I can have a good talk with her and maybe we can help her achieve enlightenment sooner, so she won't continue to scare me in this perfectly good home.

Because my poor heart simply couldn't take it!

Testimonials

It's finally time to write my thoughts on launching a product.

I never expected this book to be so popular. I was quite surprised myself, hehe (#^.^#).

This book was conceived in September 2021 and was published in mid-December. It was a bumpy road, but it has finally reached its current status. It was tiring, but also very happy.

It's not just because of everyone's recommendation votes, rewards, and readers' appreciation that I'm happy; it's purely because I'm very happy writing it. Some of the plots are also enjoyable to write, and sometimes I can't help but laugh while writing. Compared to my old books with their fantasy themes, this first-person transformation and substitution light novel is undoubtedly another extreme of joy.

I remember dreaming about this book while I was dozing off at work. I secretly slacked off and wrote down the general content. After a struggle with many ideas in my brain, the novel is now complete.

Honestly, I really thought it through before I started writing.

Actually, this was my first time trying to write a book in the first person, but as I wrote, I felt like I was entering the world of my own book. Ah, what a joyful thing that was.

If all goes well, this book will be available for purchase on January 3rd at 5:30 PM. Everyone, please subscribe! I've been working hard to update it, please help me QAQ.

My premise is that as long as I'm still alive, I will absolutely not stop updating!

I will absolutely never be a eunuch or a deadbeat!

Therefore, please believe me, I will continue to improve the quality of my novels.

After that, I will basically take a portion or all of my royalties to provide some benefits for the authors.

For example, the female lead's image, the character designs of the various harem members and main characters, and so on.

I've already started designing some character cover designs on Mihuashi and my mentor has also created some illustrations. I hope that my lovely readers who are willing to accompany my book will support me after seeing these adorable characters, such as by giving me a reward (sorry for being a bit too shameless O(∩_∩)O haha~).

Well, I will come up with some more novel and exciting storylines to present to everyone in the future, and I hope you will like them.

Okay, I still want to ask my lovely readers who love my novel to please subscribe to my novel more often. I will really try my best to update!

Finally, although New Year's Day has passed, I still wish everyone a happy New Year and good fortune in the Year of the Tiger!

Chapter Twenty-Four: A Bound Spirit Named Wenda

"You...are you really willing to listen to me?"

After hearing what I said, the earthbound spirit girl stared wide-eyed in surprise, as if she didn't believe it at all.

"Go ahead and tell me, I don't want to be tormented by you all the time..."

Although I feel helpless, I still want to get a good night's sleep and then go to the academy to build my harem, feeling refreshed!
