018, Sleeping Spell (1)
During the time when Adam was actually throwing his consciousness into the sanctuary space with his eyes closed, Arras was shaking around with some boredom. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Then he saw the timberwolf that had been in front of him walk back to the corpse of the middle-aged warrior, his head arched around his neck, and he bit down on something, and on closer inspection, it turned out to be a necklace.
Arras stepped forward with some curiosity and looked at the necklace carefully, only to see a mysterious sign on it.
In the middle of the circle is a six-pointed star, on which is entrenched a dragon with five heads. Each of the dragon's heads is terrifying.
"What a symbol this is, I haven't seen it before."
"What's that?"
As soon as Adam opened his eyes, he heard Arras's self-talk, and before the other party could answer, the timberwolf had already jumped in front of Adam with the necklace in his mouth, handed the necklace in his mouth to Adam, and arched Adam's body with his big head by the way.
Adam reached out and patted the Timberwolves on the head in reward as a gesture of reward, reaching out to take the necklace.
The combination of a six-pointed star and a dragon with five heads made it all the more certain that Adam was more and more sure that the middle-aged warrior who had just been killed and his accomplices belonged to an organization symbolized by this mysterious symbol.
At this time, the militia and the spirits who had searched for useful information in the castle also returned. One of the militiamen had a box in his hand and placed it in front of Adam.
"We found a magic lab on the third floor of the castle, but there are no people, and it might be useful to find these things in it."
Opening the box, Adam was attracted to a book at first sight, of course Adam could not read the contents of the book at a glance, but the cover was also printed with a pattern: a circle followed by a six-pointed star, and the six-pointed star was wrapped around a hideous dragon with five heads.
Now Adam felt a little interested. Anyway, at this time, night has completely fallen, if you choose to go back to Falcon City now, it will be the second half of the night by the time you arrive, and you will obviously not be able to enter the city.
So Adam and his party decided to spend the night in the castle and wait until dawn before setting off back to the city.
Adam picked up the book with the mysterious symbol and opened it to see that it was actually a magic book, which recorded several black magics.
There are five Dark Tentacles, Fear Magic, Ghost Transfiguration, Curse of Weakness, and Temptation of the Mind, and the principles and spells of the five dark arts are recorded in detail.
For example, the ghost transformation is an evil spell that can transform a living human into a ghost, and after being transformed into a ghost, it will become a vassal and slave of the mage to be driven.
It's a pity that none of the above spells Adam can learn, in fact, Adam's profession comes entirely from the Templar space, and has nothing to do with the magic of this world.
In addition, the spells of the Templar space are notoriously exclusive, and even after learning the Templar spell in the game, you cannot learn the spells of other factions, not even one.
So it was no surprise that Adam had been prepared for this situation. Besides, these are five notorious black magics, and he, a white mage, may not be willing to be involved even if he has the opportunity to learn them.
***
When Adam's party (the seven militia and Arras, all the other classes had returned to the templar space) returned to the Falcon City Manor, they saw a person at the door anxiously waiting for Adam to return, the middle-aged mage who had been with Martin that day.
When he saw Adam, he was almost excited. You know, Adam hadn't even seen a look like kindness on his face before this.
"Sir, you're finally back." What surprised Adam even more was that the middle-aged mage actually used the honorific title, and he said in a very sincere tone, "Our caravan master Martin has some problems and needs your help very much. ”
Martin, the chubby caravan owner, is a very qualified merchant and a member of the Buffyson Business Alliance.
Adam is no longer ignorant of the world under the teachings of Arras. The Buffison Business Alliance is the world's largest business alliance, with a monopoly on trade across the continents of Yuppler and Yasha.
Being a member of the Buffetson Business Alliance is a symbol in itself, including wealth and power.
"What's going on, is it the Bloods of the Ash Forest who are looking for trouble again? I remember having banished the mark on Martin's body. "The manor where Adam now lives is a reward for helping Martin expel the Dark Mark.
As a member of the Buffeson Business Alliance, Martin has a very large caravan under his name, and there is also a Chamber of Commerce in Falcon City that Martin presides.
The last time he was under the blood clan, I am afraid that it was only a small loss for him. The one who could make Martin feel troubled and who happened to need the help of his white mage, except for Adam of the Blood Clan, could not think of any other answer.
But the truth is a possibility that Adam never thought of.
"Martin is asleep!"
Faced with the puzzled expressions of the crowd, the middle-aged mage continued, "I never woke up again. ”
"Martin is dead?" These were the words that Arras accidentally blurted out, causing an angry look from the middle-aged mage.
Realizing the ambiguity in his words, the middle-aged mage continued to explain, "I suspect it's a curse, of course Martin still has breath, he's still alive, but he's asleep, and no matter how you use it, you can't wake him up. ”
Funny curses, just to put people to sleep, look like a harmless prank. But there is no doubt that as sleep is extended, the cursed will die in a deep sleep due to hunger and other reasons.
"When?"
"Yesterday morning, the servant in charge of Martin's daily life thought at first that Martin was sleepy, and then realized that something was wrong. I've tried all sorts of things to wake him up, but to no avail. So the first thing I thought of was to ask you for help, and for the sake of your cooperation, I must come to the rescue of Martin. ”
"I'll do my best." Adam doesn't know much about Martin's situation now, so he can only go and see it first.
Adam had the militia now keep the materials they had obtained from the castle in the manor, and he himself took Arras and the middle-aged mage to Martin's residence, another manor in Falcon City.
"Aside from the Bloodline, has Martin offended any other dark creatures or dark mages lately?"
Curses are a profound form of black magic that can cause people to fall into all sorts of incredible negative states, some of which are very cruel, and some of which seem very mild, such as the curse that happened to Martin, but they are all very terrible black magic in nature.
"No, it's actually Martin's first visit to Celtic this year. I didn't expect such a thing to happen. The middle-aged mage thought for a moment and dismissed Adam's guess.
In Martin's bedroom, Adam sees Martin, lying on the bed as if he was asleep, and snoring slightly.
The moment he stepped into Martin's bedroom, Adam noticed a dark aura swirling through the bedroom, and eventually Adam targeted a small box placed at the head of the bed.
"What's in that box?"
The middle-aged mage hesitated for a moment, saw Adam insisting, and stepped forward to open the small box, "This is what Martin just bought, it's a silver candlestick." "Inside the little box was a silver candlestick, which looked so beautiful, it really looked like a work of art.
On the side, Aras felt that the world of the rich was really difficult to understand, and when he was so tired outside that he had to sacrifice his life for a few silver coins, they even had to use silver for candlesticks.
He was really a wicked businessman, and he cursed secretly in his heart, so he didn't want to admit that he was jealous.
The middle-aged mage was about to close the box when Adam stopped him, "It's this candlestick that curses." ”
The middle-aged mage's hand shook, and the box was closed. Now even Arras could see that he was not surprised, but panicked, as if a secret had been revealed when he was unprepared.
"Well, this candlestick was bought by Martin from an adventurer, and it is said to come from an ancient ruin......"
Adam interrupted the middle-aged mage's explanation, "I'm not really interested in the specific source, but I'm afraid you need to discuss the cost of this treatment." ”
Adam then reached out and landed a full dispersal on the silver candlestick on the chest.
At the moment when the holy light fell on the candlestick, a large amount of black smoke suddenly rose from the candlestick, turning into a monster with a sheep's head, a human body, and sheep's hooves.
