Chapter 20: The Curse on the Ship
Nick was startled when he heard this, and then he clutched the sheepskin bag in his hand, for fear that someone would come and grab it, and at the same time stared at the one who ran over and said, "What happened." ”
"Mr. Sandru said......" said the man, gasping, "he found a cursed gem when he was looking for the gems, and it seemed to be about to explode, and I went to inform the captain, who hoped that we could help with it, or at least prove it." ”
"Cursed Gem? What does a curse matter. Nick said with some confusion, and then his face changed, "It won't be the same as the praise of the gods." ”
"I don't know, Mr. Sandru has gone to the captain, we ...... now"
"Find the captain." Nick said as he put the sheepskin bag in his arms.
At this time, Ryuji was already standing on the bridge, waiting for Captain Edward to come out.
Edward was quite busy as he was about to reach the shore, but when he heard that Ryuji had come to look for him, he still came out to see what was going on.
"Captain, something bad may happen." When he met Edward, Ryuji explained the situation directly.
Edward thought of Ryuji's identity and what he said before that he saw the sea monster attacking Zeus, and couldn't help asking, "Is there another sea monster coming, but it doesn't matter, we have already seen the lighthouse, and under the light of the big lighthouse, all the sea monsters will be discovered." ”
"No, Captain, I just found a cursed gem on the ship, someone is doing a curse, although I don't know what the content of the curse is, but it is definitely related to the underworld, and the scope is the whole ship." Ryuji said anxiously.
Hearing this, Edward's face also became a little ugly, "Where did you find it?" ”
At this moment, Nick also rushed over with his men, and as soon as he saw Edward and Ryuji standing there, Nick immediately took out his identification and explained his identity.
Hearing that someone had stolen the praise of the gods and hid it in his ship, Edward's face became a little ugly, and he thought of the phantom of Zeus when the dragon appeared, and knew how his ship would be treated if something happened at this time.
"I see, I'll have someone slow down and arrange for someone to follow you to find the Cursed Gem, but I can't stop at the shore, you only have half an hour."
As Edward spoke, he glanced at the time.
"That's enough, I've found the place, just stop the activation of the Cursed Gem." Ryuji said quickly.
He was really a little frightened by what he saw just now, through that machine, he originally wanted to see the rest of the gems, and then improve his gem knowledge, to see if he could rush to level 7 at the last moment.
I didn't expect to find such a big thunder on the last few gems.
When he saw the cursed gem, Ryuji even felt like he was about to die for a moment.
The gem looked like a dragon's eye with vertical pupils, and when he saw it, the gem seemed to glare at him.
The gems were placed in a pile of scarabs carved from gemstones, and Ryuji could even see a large amount of black gas pouring out of the gems and pouring into the scarabs.
As for what the function of the gem is, Yanoji does not know, but his various knowledge allows him to see the possibility that when the ship reaches a certain position, the gem will be affected by a force that will cause everyone on the ship to be infected with a curse.
And this curse is carried out under the confines of the Great Lighthouse, so it will not be rejected and targeted by the Great Lighthouse, and if the person with the curse goes ashore, these curses may be transmitted directly, and eventually even affect the whole of Alexandria.
It was precisely for this reason that Ryuji would let people inform Nick that he would run to find Edward again, if it was just an ordinary little curse, he would not be in such a hurry at all.
Ryuji didn't say what the curse was, but Nick and they also knew about Ryuji's situation, and if they could scare Ryuji like this, it would definitely be a big deal, and they all followed Ryuji when Edward called the sailors.
Led by Ryuji, they rushed into a suite on the second deck.
At this time, the passengers in the suite were already preparing to disembark, and when they saw Ryuji rushing in with Nick and the sailors, the faces of the two passengers who looked like husband and wife suddenly changed, and a strange black pattern appeared on their faces, which looked as if they had carved the vertical eyes of a dragon into their skin.
Nick reacted as soon as they saw it, and two of Nick's men pounced on them, knocking them to the ground.
At the same time, Yanagi directly lifted the bed board, and under the bed board was the cursed gem that Yanagi pointed out, but what Yanagi had seen before was only part of it, and when he lifted the bed board, Yanagi even saw that there were three skulls with something embedded in their eye sockets, facing the location of the cursed gem.
Nick was also a well-informed man, and he could see the curse at a glance.
"Iron-blooded plague, they are the men of Seth's bones."
Ryuji was confused when he heard it, what kind of tissue was Seth's bone.
At this moment, the two who were held down by the sailor smiled and said, "It's useless, the curse has been unfolded, and no one can stop Seth's curse from running rampant on the earth." ”
After saying that, the two actually looked at each other, and then died like this.
As a necromancer, Ryuji could easily see the spirits of the two of them flying out of their bodies, recklessly rushing towards the cursed gem.
As soon as he saw this, Ryuji immediately reached out and used the Staff of Death to block the activation of the cursed gem by the two souls.
But when he sent the souls of these two people flying, the cursed gem placed on the scarab beetle moved slightly, and a ray of light shot out towards Yanagi.
Ryuji tried to dodge, but the light turned in midair, and a black light fell on Ryuji's chest, carving a black strange sign on his chest.
Then Nick and the others saw that all the scarab beetles had quickly turned to ashes, leaving only the gem and three skulls in place.
Looking at the scene in front of him, and then at the logo on Liu Zhi's body, Nick said helplessly: "You seem to be being targeted by Seth." ”
Ryuji glanced down at his chest, then looked up at Nick, and said helplessly, "This is a curse, is there a way to deal with it?" ”8)
