Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Mystery of the Curse
Ilt looked at the two people opposite, thinking that they must have a lot of questions, but he didn't expect that Alan and Tia didn't say a word.
"Aren't you all curious? I've still digested it, and my comprehension is so strong, I'm also drunk. β
"It's not."
Alan first came to his senses from the story of the 'Ilte', "You mean you can only live to be twenty-five? β
βBingoοΌ He is worthy of being my good brother, second only to me in terms of understanding. β
Hearing Ilt himself say this fact, Alan felt a little powerless, "Why can you only live to be twenty-five years old?!" Ilte? How old are you now? β
It suddenly occurred to Tia that twenty-five was a terrible number.
"I'm seventeen years old now. Tia, don't have that expression, I'm not going to be twenty-five soon, smile. β
Seeing Tia's nervous expression, Ilt had a relaxed expression.
"Ilte, how many Ilt are you? How did the first one come about? β
Alan was still thinking clearly and asked very crucial questions.
I don't know the answers to these two questions. What I have just told you is what 'Heathers' told me, and 'Heathers' has also said that it is a curse of the 'Ilths'. β
"Cursed? Who is so vicious as to cast such a curse, and can this curse be lifted? β
Tia stood up excitedly, looking anxious and looking at Ilt with round eyes, so that Ilt didn't know which question to answer her first.
"Tia, don't worry, let Ilt speak slowly."
Eren pressed Tia back into his chair, "Curse, on the face of it, should be literal. As for who it is, to be honest, I don't know, and I'm at a loss how to untie it. β
Ilt spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, "I haven't dreamed of Heathers often since last year, and occasionally I dream of him just that fixed familiar scene. And he doesn't talk to me anymore, and lately, he's so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep, so where is there time to dream. β
"Then this has something to do with the connection between you and the demons, right?"
Alan went back to the original question.
"Of course."
"Ilte, you're not going to ask the demon god to help you break the curse, are you?"
Tia's scalp tingles at the thought of her original speculation.
But Ilt has repeatedly accompanied her and Alan from birth to death, and there are too many doubts to explain.
"Of course not! Ever since I learned about my origins, I've been collecting all sorts of information to find ways to lift the curse, and you know that the first thing to focus on the Aurelaste Road is inevitably the demons who do a lot of evil. But along the way, he pointed to Allen's well-known "Creation Poem". β
"No wonder you're just, how do you know everything about the Genesis Poem?"
Alan recalls that when they were still in Odaheim, Ilt had asked him about the Genesis poem at his home, and he looked determined to get it.
"I was only six years old at the time, and when I learned that the Genesis Poem might help me unravel the curse, I began to track down the book's whereabouts. It took me three years to find out, and through various means, I learned that the "Creation Poem" had already fallen into the hands of the demon god. While you may not believe that a nine-year-old can learn this, the truth is that as long as you are crazy about one thing and have enough talent, some things have nothing to do with age. Of course, I also paid for my impulsiveness, I used the summoning technique of dark magic, summoned the demon Hellji from purgatory, and exchanged this arm for her ability to enter the demon race in exchange for this arm. β
Ilt took off the gloves of his mechanical hand and revealed the circle of dark magic.
"It's dark magic!! Ilte, you really know the dark arts!! β
Tia's suspicions were finally confirmed.
"I know that I can't hide this matter, so it's better to confess it as soon as possible."
Ilt stared at his left hand.
"Ilte, is the ability to enter the demon clan something you can get with one arm?"
Alan knew it wouldn't be that simple.
"Of course not, how much is a human arm worth to a demon? Purgatory Ji is interested in 'me', the complete 'me', she is just designing, getting me step by step. Moreover, the ability of this magic circle to open the 'door' in the demon territory is limited, I have been there, but only succeeded once, that is, that time, I saw someone steal the book from the demon god. β
"What?!"
Eren and Tia stood up at the same time, the power of the Demon God was undoubted, and Tia was shocked that someone could take something from the Demon God that he valued so much.
And Allen instantly thought of his mother.
It was Alan's mother Martha who brought the "Creation Poem" out of the demons, and her mother paid the price with her life.
Ilt looked at the two of them and felt a moment of inexplicability, "What's wrong with you?" β
"Ilte! Tell me what the man you saw looked like? Did she say anything? β
Alan pinched Ilte's shoulder excitedly and shook it vigorously.
"Alan, what's wrong with you?"
Tia also finds it strange about Alan's anomaly.
"After I opened the gate of the Demon Realm and crossed, I arrived at the upper level of the Great Abyss of the Demon Race. At that time, I saw a young woman running past me with a package in her arms. I hid behind the dark crystal cluster, because I thought it must be a demon, so I didn't dare to say anything, and I walked out when I saw her run away. β
"That's it?"
Alan looked into Ilte's eyes as if he wanted to see something more out of it.
"Well, I saw that woman once, and I haven't seen her since. Later, however, Ashuram appeared. β
"Ashuram?"
Alan thought of what he had encountered with Chester in the Philosopher's Grove in the first place, and it was this demon who took the "Creation Poem" from his backpack in the first place, and his father called him "Ashuram" in the conversation
γ
"As far as I know, Assuram is a direct subordinate of the Demon God, and according to his ability and status, he should be far higher than the status of the 'Four Great Sacrifices' in the Demon Race. We have dealt with two of the 'Four Great Sacrifices', and you should know what they are capable of. So when I watched him chase after the young woman, I wanted to watch and wait for an opportunity to strike. But he was accompanied by another demon, with their ability and speed to pursue, I think they should be able to catch up, but when they were about to cross the border of the demon race, they gave up the pursuit, and the demon beside Ashuram also said......"
