Chapter 101: Curse
"It's a curse that I don't know why. ”
After taking off his mask, Lobelin left his chair and sat straight on the balcony railing, his short black and white hair and his crumbling and condensed sand cheeks were extremely strange.
"The City of No Gates is my hometown, not good or bad, I just lived there and practiced as a wizard until that day came...... Have you ever seen a stone in the desert that has been weathered and riddled with holes?"
"I've seen it before. ”
During the trip to shoot the ancient fish video, Zhu Jue saw a lot of wind-eroded mushrooms, and now I still remember it vividly in retrospect.
"Have you ever seen a human become like that?"
Raising his hand to poke into his face, Lobelin muttered in a deep voice,
"My wife, my friends, and the vendors who greeted me when I left in the morning, and when I returned from my practice in the evening, all I saw was a pile of broken bone meal and a few clothes mixed with sand, and I called out their names and looked for them everywhere, but all I saw was piles and piles of broken skeletons piled up on the street, it was not a prank, it was not a dream, I knew it very well. ”
"I can't see life...... No, I don't even see any flesh, not even the slaughtered and chopped meat on the butcher's stall, all of which were reduced to ashes that day, and I knew something was happening, but I didn't know how to stop it, I didn't even know where to stop it, I was wandering around the city, wandering...... Until I saw it at the intersection of Hongsha Street, it looked like a ...... I'm sorry, I don't think I should have mentioned it to you, describing it in detail will only make you reverie about it, and that thought will make you what I am now. ”
Forcibly cutting off the idea of wanting to describe that existence, Luo Beilin's arm that was originally hanging at his side retracted into a loose robe, and the next second it stretched out from the middle, propped it up to both sides, and the whole robe spread out and fell to the ground, shirtless, standing in front of Zhu Jue, above the waist and abdomen, it was not much different from the condition of his face,
"Just seeing it, for a long time after that, my body began to show this strange change, of course, I have to admit that this change made me awaken a great talent in cultivation, in just a few years, I have changed from a low-level apprentice to the current state, and even become a strong person in the eyes of many people, with my own title, what they don't know is that I would rather become an ordinary person who doesn't know anything, and I want to see my family again, smell the flowers again, eat candy again, and ...... again I'm not reconciled!"
Listening to Luo Beilin's intermittent narration, Zhu Jue on the side was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "The feeling that no matter what you look at, it looks like a terrifying thing, it's sad." ”
Not a question sentence, but an affirmative narrative.
"You ...... too"
Luo Beilin was stunned, and looked at Zhu Jue's eyes a little more eagerly.
"About five years ago, my body and soul became extremely weird because of a terrifying monster on the ice field, a chaotic will, a mutated body, this frost power, also comes from it, but my situation is better than yours, at least under normal circumstances, I can still maintain an ordinary life, and then I killed the monster that caused me trouble, and now, this power belongs to me. ”
Taking a sip of coffee, Zhu Jue also had a little smile on his face, he never thought that he would meet someone who was sick with the same disease as his former self in the fantasy dream, and it could even be said that he was worse than himself, and at the same time, he had already made some decisions in his heart.
"So it seems that your situation is indeed much better than mine, and I am only struggling to return to my original human form, and as for revenge, I don't even know who the enemy is or where he is now. ”
As the exchange deepened, the originally stiff atmosphere between the two quickly dissolved, after all, both of them had similar unique experiences, and Lobelin had not talked to anyone for many years, and now that the conversation box was open, it might be a little difficult to stop.
To be honest, talking eloquently with a face full of quicksand gives people a lot of psychological pressure, and Zhu Jue can bear it.
But no matter how we talked, the conversation didn't leave the most important thing in the end.
"And how did you know that the Scorching Box could save you?"
"A sage who came from some mysterious place...... It took me a great deal to get him to tell me the news, and that is that only the Seagod can lift the curse on me...... I've traveled all over the years and found a lot of plausible things, and the Scorching Box is arguably the most likely item, it's important to me, and I have to get it, at all costs!"
Speaking of this, Lobelin's attitude can be said to be very clear, this scorching box, whether it is borrowed or robbed, he has only one goal, that is, to use it to relieve his current state.
"Well, I'm willing to help you, but the problem is, like I said before, I don't know how to open the Scorching Box, let alone take out its contents. ”
Zhu Jue thought about it carefully, there was no reason why he didn't help Luo Beilin, the latter's experience undoubtedly resonated with him, and it was regarded as a mutual support between brothers and sisters.
"Can you show me, I've studied a lot of ancient books over the years, especially about the Scorching Box, maybe I can find a way. ”
Hearing that Zhu Jue was willing to help, Luo Bailin spoke in a much higher tone, and he didn't have a clear solution to the question of how to open the Scorching Box, but now that everything was in front of him, he always wanted to give it a try.
"No problem, I'm ...... Not now, you also saw it when you came here just now, I was about to go to the drinking party, not to drink, but there are some things to deal with here at the Chamber of Commerce, if you don't have anything to do next, why don't you wait for me at the Chamber of Commerce?"
Zhu Jue was halfway through his words when he noticed that Lishana was holding a pocket watch on the first floor, indicating that the time was almost out of time.
It doesn't matter if you don't agree, now the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce has replied to Count Otland, saying that he will go to the drinking party, and it is undoubtedly very rude to release other pigeons in this case, as long as Count Otlan is a qualified nobleman, then he will definitely not give up.
The Chamber of Commerce is going to open on the side of the port of Dillas, and it is not a good idea to provoke a local snake of this magnitude.
"No problem, I've been waiting for years, just a few hours, I can afford to wait. ”
Despite his anxiety, Lobelin still suppressed his impatience, and he knew who was in charge at the moment.
The sentence in Zhu Jue's mouth just now, "Now, this power belongs to me".
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
The battle on the streets was a dead end, but it was just a collision between frost and gravel, and this morning's encounter had taught Lobelin that the man in front of him seemed to be extremely good at controlling the sand......
To put it bluntly, the above words came out of Loberin's mouth, firstly, it was indeed lovely, and secondly, it was somewhat weak, after all, it was not easy to show his scars and past to others.
Fortunately, the results were good.
"Let someone arrange a room for Lobelin, to be the best, this person's strength is extremely strong, and now I have asked for help, maybe I can win him to our side, even if we can't let him join the Glittering Gold Chamber of Commerce, we must let him recognize this favor, maybe it will be of great use in the future." ”
Zhu Jue, who returned downstairs, explained to Lishana who came up.
Sympathy is sympathy, Zhu Jue is not a philanthropist who helps people without asking for anything in return, he has personally experienced Luo Beilin's strength, what the current Shuojin Chamber of Commerce lacks is this kind of person who can live in this world and can control the scene, of course he wants to recruit.
"I understand, I'll find someone to arrange it, please wait at the door. ”
Lishana, who realized the importance of this matter, lifted her skirt and ran into the post station without saying a word, Zhu Jue looked back at her somewhat awkward back, smiled helplessly, and walked to the door.
Someone from the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce stepped out of the threshold, and at the door of the Popeye Tavern, someone had just stepped in.
The man in the black cloak walked at the front, followed by several people behind him, ascended to the second floor, found the agreed room, and immediately someone stepped forward and knocked on the door.
No one even knocked a few times, but no one responded.
"We've warned them in our letter that they're here to wait for us to act together, and how dare these guys disobey orders?"
The man who knocked on the door frowned, as if he were talking to himself, and as if he was explaining to the person behind him.
"Someone visited us before...... Open the door. ”
"Understood!"
Without the idea of going to the tavern for a key, the knocker raised his foot and kicked the door open.
A thick bloody breath is blowing in the face!8)
