Koto's eyes widened, and his eyes looked at the metal ring he wore on his hand, the "Randall's Cursed Ring", and suddenly the inner ring of the ring was like a toothy mouth, and he bit the finger he used to put it on, and the tingling sensation made him cry out in fright for a moment.

Of course, he didn't cry out out of fear, but whoever was "bitten" by something unknown like this must have been involuntarily frightened, right?

That's probably how the dwarven warrior reacted - fortunately, Thea, Bellingis, Abel, and Dorothy followed him and walked over one after another, and the well-informed mechanical mage saw his panicked appearance, thought for a moment, and then stretched out his big steel palm and pressed his shoulder lightly, signaling him to calm down first, and then said slowly:

"Rest easy, Your Highness the Prince. This ring is most likely a magical item with a curse attached to it. ”

"What, curse?!" Koto turned his head and listened to Abel's explanation, and was suddenly even more shocked, "My hearth mother! This turned out to be a cursed item?! ”

"But it's not necessarily a terrible curse." Able then finished speaking, and the constructor's fingers reached over to touch the ring that had been worn by the dwarf, and skillfully performed a forensic technique.

Identification is a 1-ring spell of the prophecy system, and it is called the foundation of formal spells like the magic missile of the same ring level, as long as the opposing school of specialized mages happens to oppose this type of basic spell.

The Mechanic Mage gave up the casting enhancement of specialized spells, and chose the path of generalist according to the guidance and advice of the Grey Court Sage, which means that as long as he has enough understanding in the field of magic, he will one day be able to learn all the different kinds of spells - although this is only an academic theory, and the upper limit of generalist mages is much higher than that of specialized mages under the premise of sufficient resources and a good educational environment, but the cruel reality often blocks many theoretical mages on paper from the mid-level threshold, Forcing them to change careers and become professional scholars who excel in magical knowledge.

“…… The curse of this ring is not a hazard to worry too much about. Smoothly and unmistakably performing the art of identification, Able organized the language and told Koto, "It will be like a stubborn mouth, clenching your fingers until death separates you from its fate." ”

After speaking, the machine man mage looked sideways, and together with the black cat demon pet hidden in its head, he saw this clan warrior who claimed to have never been afraid of the white dragon on the Moon Cold Plateau, and actually listened to its explanation at this moment and took a sharp breath.

"The fire is on the fire, until death separates me from its fate, ......" He furrowed his brows, goosebumps forming on the surface of Mithril's skin under his armor, and for a moment he forgot the pain that had just come from his fingers.

But of course, the mechanic mage hadn't finished his words, and then he didn't explain: "But the reward for the curse is that the ring will provide you with a little help against spells, and it will fix the coordination and agility of your hands and feet at a level of accuracy that can be measured numerically. ”

"Uh...... Do not understand. The dwarf shook his head dumbfoundedly.

"What Abel means is that this ring will make you more agile." Thea walked over to the two of them and softly translated the detailed instructions of the Mechanic Mage into easy-to-understand sentences to Koto.

"Speaking of which, I've seen something similar in some of the books my dad left me." Bellinglith jumped over, her lively eyes didn't seem to be worried about whether Abel's analysis was wrong, but just looked at the ring on the dwarf's finger with curiosity, "The knowledge in those books says that cursed items are generally divided into two categories, one is completely harmful, and the other may be of some use in harmful ingredients, and this ring may be the latter." ”

"Anyway, it's okay...... Right? ”

Suddenly, a thin voice joined the discussion with little confidence.

The group of people centered on the dwarven warriors were all taken aback for a moment, and then they all turned their heads to look at the red warlock lady who had fallen at the back of the line. Dorothy's head was still buried low, but the beautiful navy blue eyes in her eye sockets were now a little raised, as if trying to convince her to step out of the shadows of the past and try to fit into the new collective.

"Hey, that's right!" The straightforward Koto turned his head to look at her, and smiled honestly with a bearded mouth, "If you don't talk all the time, I'll forget that there are still you in our team, haha...... Ouch! Little girl, why are you filming me? ”

Unable to find a proper flaw in Koto's Mithril armor, Bellelis simply jumped up and slapped the dwarf's helmet, and when the latter reacted to look at her, she seriously tested her eyes at the other party, complaining that this clan prince with a brain could not speak.

But fortunately, Dorothy pursed her lips shyly, and forced herself to smile a little embarrassedly.

If memory serves, the rest of the team will look back on the episode of this journey in the distant future, and the red-red Miss Warlock smiled at the group for the first time in this memorable moment, though the awkward smile was barely curled on her face......

After the encounter with Karpas in the Burning Corpse Forest was over, the group continued with Urs, along the route that Yustina had told everyone in the Grey Courtyard.

The appearance of the necromantic knight Karpas is also just a small episode in the journey for everyone. Packing up the three useful trophies of the ring, the scimitar, and the fire elemental crystal nucleus seized from his remains, the group finally walked out of the scorching heat of the burning corpse forest in the middle of the night, lit a bonfire in an open field on the western edge of the woodland, and rested until the morning sun rose in the far east, and then hurried on their way to the light that gradually brightened in the fog of the island as the sun rose.

It wasn't until they walked out of the Burning Corpse Forest that the team finally followed the instructions given by the Grey Court Sage to the edge of a large depression in the western part of the Misty Island, and saw the shadow of a tower in the place where it seemed to have been born the disaster of the collapse of the earth.

It was a man-made structure called the "Inverted Hanging Tower" - as its name suggests, the silhouette of the figure revealed in the fog seemed to be really like a normal tower that had been pulled up by an invisible hand and plunged into the depths below the surface, revealing a section of the base of the tower left outside, as an intelligent creature of the surface world, after appearing it, it could further find a door on the base of the tower that could be entered.

In Urs's memory, the gate to the tower was one of the entrances and exits from the surface world to the dark realms.

The group finally found this place......
