Chapter 110: The Cursed
"You know the curse on me, right?"
After the ghost night ghost waved his hand and left here, Lin Chen suddenly turned around and asked Alice.
"I felt an unnatural evil aura emanating from you, traced back to the source, and found that it was a cursed power planted in your body. Well, I've seen similar curses, and in the eyes of dark creatures, you will be like a torch lit in the dark, very impressive. ”
Alice seemed to be in a good mood after getting the Ancient Alchemy Manual, so she was willing to answer Lin Chen's question.
Lin Chen asked, "So, what about the person who was cursed like me?" How did he solve the curse? ”
"Solve the curse?"
Alice shook her head and replied, "In the end, he had people burned." ”
"Burned?"
Alice explains, "He is seen as a source of calamity because he always provokes all sorts of dark creatures and brings misfortune to the village. So in the end, he didn't let the dark creatures tear apart, but died at the hands of his relatives and friends, which was the greatest misfortune. ”
Although there has been more than one player who has been burned to death by NPCs in history, the problem is that Lin Chen doesn't think that he will be able to solve the curse on his body after being burned to death.
With an expectant look, Lin Chen asked, "Dear Miss Alice, do you have a way to solve the curse on me?" ”
"I'm sorry!"
Alice continued to shake her head and said, "The curse has penetrated deep into your soul, but I won't say it, you better pay more attention to your body these days, your curse mark will manifest sooner or later." When the time comes, I will find a way to cover it up with something. Try to avoid exposing the fact that you are cursed in this way, otherwise you will receive more sympathy. ”
"I will."
Lin Chen was still a little unwilling, and continued to ask: "Is there really no solution?" ”
"I'm really sorry, I'm not good at that. But......" Alice thought for a moment and added, "The priests of the temple may have a way. ”
Temple?
Lin Chen clapped his hands, the so-called authorities were fascinated, he almost forgot about the temple. Light and darkness are opposites, and the best way to deal with dark curses is to ask the temple for help.
After Lin Chen thanked Alice, he set off for the temple to settle the curse, and he didn't want to delay for a moment.
He soon arrives at the temple, but misses Mia, and eventually finds an old priest for counseling.
"This curse ......"
The old priest looked at Lin Chen, and said with some regret: "What kind of monster have you provoked, this curse has taken root in your soul, even if the priest I know can use the power of the Lord of Radiance to strip the curse out, it is very likely to hurt your soul, and even cause you to become an idiot." ”
Of course, it is impossible for players to become idiots in the game, but some punishments, such as permanently reducing attributes, are still possible, and Lin Chen does not want to take such a risk.
"Isn't there something a safer way?"
"You may need to travel to the City of Light and ask for help from the priest of the main hall."
The old priest suddenly thought of something and added: "By the way, I suddenly remembered something...... Well, you're in luck, there's a priest from the main hall here, and she's ...... If I'm not mistaken, it seems that she made her way to the town of Grimm, and should have stayed in the temple there for a few days. ”
Lin Chen hurriedly asked, "That Divine Officer, what is her name?" ”
"Mia, it's Mia-sama." The old priest's voice was filled with reverence, and he continued: "She is the most genius person I have ever seen, she has already passed the assessment of a high-ranking priest at a young age, and she is the most likely candidate to inherit the position of the great priest. ”
"Is that her? Great, I'll go look for her. ”
As Lin Chen's voice fell, he suddenly received a prompt from the system.
"Ding!"
"System prompt: You have received the hidden quest [Starlight's Oath Curser], mission difficulty: unknown."
Lin Chen was stunned, can you get the task? He hurriedly opened the task panel and checked the task information of the task he received-
Starlight's Oath Cursed (Hidden Mission)
Difficulty: Unknown
Mission Description: You're struggling with the curse on you, but the old priest of Redwood Town suggests that you try to ask Priest Mia for help, as a high-ranking priest from the main temple of the Temple, Mia should have a solution to your troubles?
Objective: Go to Grimm Town and find Priest Mia
Final Reward: Lift the "Curse of Grudge"
After reading the description of the task, Lin Chen immediately understood that sure enough, this task was related to solving the curse on his body. Although he reckoned that finding Mia was only the beginning of this mission, and lifting the curse would not be so simple.
But in any case, with the guidance of the task, he doesn't have to go around trying his luck like a headless fly.
Lin Chen's heart settled down a lot, and after thanking the old priest, he left the temple.
There is no complete deadline for the task, but for Lin Chen, the sooner it is completed, the better, this curse is like a guillotine hanging above Lin Chen's head, it really can't make him comfortable, and it may even affect the normal reception of other tasks.
Lin Chen couldn't wait to teleport to Grimm Town immediately and find Mia in the first time.
However, after Lin Chen came to the teleportation array in Redwood Town, he found that Grimm Town did not belong to the player's life town, it was a remote mountain town, and there was no teleportation array facility.
Then you can only "walk" all the way.
Lin Chen studied the map and found that the closest to Grimm Town was a third-level town called "Shining Gold Town", and it cost 1.5 gold coins to teleport there.
He looked at his backpack, and at the moment he couldn't even scrape together half a gold coin, and he had to wait for the thousands of troops to sell the materials and props before he had some coins.
It seems that he can only wait for the night, and after getting the money with the sweeping army, he will teleport to Shining Gold Town, and finally go to Green Town.
At this moment, Lin Chen saw that it was not far from the upgrade, and decided to go to the Adventurer's House first.
At level 15, you can register as an adventurer, and you need to pay a handling fee of 500 silver coins to register, and you also have no money.
However, Lin Chen found his mentor Adela, as the vice president of the Redwood Town Branch of the Adventurers' Association, and successfully opened a back door for him.
Not only did he exempt Lin Chen from these fees, allowing him to become a low-level adventurer smoothly, but also allowing him to receive a good task.
Clearing the Goblin Horde - The goblins of the Redwood Forest are starting to get restless again, so it takes a powerful adventurer to teach them a hard lesson. Objective, kill 100 goblins.
With his current output, it would be very easy to complete this task, especially those crispy greenskin sacrificials or greenskin marksmen who simply couldn't withstand his one-hit normal attack.
