Chapter 42: The Curse

[Let's make sure again, there's nothing you need, and the next three days will be all wild.] 】

Liu Xianyu looked at Jade and said.

[No, let's go!] 】

Early the next morning, the two of them left the city and set out on their journey, riding their respective beasts.

[In the next three days, if there is no accident, you will arrive at this mountain on the first day, and then you can avoid a big detour through the mountains, and it will only take two days to complete half of the estimated distance. 】

This is the route that the system researched with Liu Xianyu there last night when he was idle and had nothing to do, and it was originally impossible to cross the mountain under the condition of relying on a carriage, but the Wild Beast had no scruples at all.

The two of them went all the way for three days without encountering any magical beasts, and on the afternoon of the third day, they finally arrived at the second city, Northland.

[After the Northland City, we have officially entered the cold zone, and we need to buy some cold-resistant clothes here. 】

Jade looked at the huge city in front of her and said to Liu Xianyu.

The two of them led their Galloping Beasts, and after a few days of getting along, the two Galloping Beasts were already quite familiar with them, and even if they didn't need to be led by the reins, they wouldn't run around at will.

When the two of them entered the city, they suddenly saw a large group of people at the entrance of a street.

What happened? 】

Jade curiously pulled Liu Xianyu to the side of the crowd, and they casually found a passer-by and asked:

[What's going on inside?] Why are so many people gathered here? 】

[You're just coming to this city, aren't you?] It's been like this since the man came here the other day, it's said that he's been under some strange curse, neither light nor water magic can be lifted, as long as someone can help him lift the curse, he can get a seal made of pure gold that he deposited in the Adventurers' Guild, which weighs as much as a dozen gold coins. 】

[Really? A dozen gold coins? 】

Jade asked with some suspicion.

[It's true, the union has already admitted it.] 】

[Let's go check it out, aren't you very good at healing magic?] 】

Liu Xianyu suddenly remembered that the jade beside him was unique in healing magic, maybe it could come in handy, and it was the first time he had encountered such a not very magical thing as a curse, after all, the elemental mages in this world are the mainstream, although there are mysterious mages, but Liu Xianyu has not encountered any so far.

The two of them walked through the crowd and saw a plainly dressed man, sitting on the ground with short hedgehog hair and a weapon that Liu Xianyu was all too familiar with on his legs. Slender and sharp, deadly and concise.

【Taidao?】 】

Liu Xianyu's words blurted out, and the man finally opened his eyes when he heard his words, and the inside of those eyes was cloudy like muddy sewage.

[Do you know my weapon?] 】

The man's voice sounded a little hoarse.

In this world, Liu Xianyu is the first time to see someone who uses a knife as a weapon. Unlike what I saw in the anime in my previous life, because it is delicate and sharp, it is too easy to break, so it is very difficult to use the knife, and it is difficult to afford it unless you are worth a lot of money.

In addition, because it is easy to damage, it is difficult to use it to fight against monsters, unless you can avoid all the protection of monsters and directly attack its soft underbelly, and the related inheritance is becoming less and less, except for those ancient texts of the spirit clan that are out of touch with the times, the outside world has long abandoned this weapon, and even many blacksmiths do not know the existence of the sword.

[I've seen it in a book before.] 】

[You're here for the mission I posted too?] 】

[It's not me, it's my companion, she wants to see if she can lift your curse.] 】

Liu Xianyu pointed to the jade beside him. Emerald glanced at the man and asked:

[What are you talking about as a manifestation of the curse?] Are there any symptoms? 】

Emerald looks very professional.

[As you can see, my eyes began to slowly lose sight, and in less than ten days I went from a state of visual acuity to a state of near-blindness. 】

Jade listened to the man's words and bent down to take a closer look at his eyes, she found that there seemed to be a strange power in the man's eyes, and Jade tried to use several healing spells but it had no effect on the man. So Emerald knew that this strange curse didn't seem to be curable by healing magic.

So Jade began to try some special magic of the light system - dispel, bless, but it had no effect on men, and that strange power was always hidden in the eyes of men.

[No, my magic can't be without effect.] 】

Jade shook his head at Liu Xianyu, Liu Xianyu knew that the reward might not have anything to do with him, and just as he was about to turn his head and leave with Jade, the voice of the system sounded in his head.

[Partner, I think you can try it, there is a part of the dark element in that curse, and you should be able to try to destroy its balance by relying on your full elemental affinity.] 】

[But I can't control the elements.] 】

The reason why Liu Xianyu can't use magic is because the elemental affinity is too high, so he can't control the element.

[You don't need to control it, although you can't let them form a spell model, but you don't need to control the simple gathering elements at all.] 】

Liu Xianyu listened to the words of the system and decided to give it a try, and he said to the man:

[Can I give it a try?] 】

[It's okay, it's better to try it than to sit here and wait to become blind.] 】

Listening to the man's words, Liu Xianyu bent down and stretched out his hand to put it on the man's eyes, he also closed his eyes and entered the state of elemental perception for a long time, in this state, he could see that there were two small black balls in the man's eyes. Liu Xianyu tried to start absorbing the dark elements, and the free dark elements in the surrounding air began to gather around Liu Xianyu, and soon gathered a large number, but only the two dark elements in the man's eyes did not move, and the elements that had been arranged were very stable, and there was no performance at all.

[Hey, there's no movement, isn't it okay?] 】

Liu Xianyu asked the system in his mind.

[You try to arrange the two dark elements, you don't need to form magic, you just need to break the elemental arrangement of the curse.] 】

The system said tentatively to Liu Xianyu.

So Liu Xianyu let go of the attraction of the dark elements around him, and since he couldn't arrange it, he forcibly compressed it! Relying on his unparalleled elemental affinity, Liu Xianyu forcibly compressed the two dark elements, and the forced compression consumed a large amount of Liu Xianyu's spiritual power, and a severe headache hit instantly.

Liu Xianyu was forced to retreat from the meditative state, and the moment he withdrew, the two dark elements lost their alignment and began to gradually dissipate, and he pressed his head back to the normal perspective.

The man felt the haze in his eyes begin to dissipate, and excitedly clenched the scabbard of the knife in his hand, and as he breathed, the discomfort in his eyes gradually disappeared, and his vision, which had been blurred for many days, returned to normal again.

[The curse is gone? 】

The man looked at his hands in disbelief.
