"Who?" Duran was startled, he turned his head sharply, only to find that there was nothing behind him, and he didn't even see half a figure.

There's no one behind you, is it above? As soon as Duran looked up, the pitch-black ceiling was hazy, but with his high perception, he finally saw the strange thing on the ceiling clearly. In the cracks of the stone walls, a silent predator is diligently weaving her own cobwebs.

Duran recognized this spider, this creature that had become extinct in the Fernand continent could not make a human-like sound, could it be that there were people nearby that he couldn't perceive?

If the answer is yes, that's pretty scary.

Duran couldn't help but feel a chill in his back, he looked around in disbelief, and at the same time let out a low tentative voice from his mouth: "What if I insist on opening it?" Perhaps you should know that this door can't stop me. But I'm more concerned about who's hiding behind my back and pretending to be a ghost. ”

There was silence for a while, and the voice suddenly said, "Of course you can open this door, but Oppenpheus will also be able to take his one hundred and sixty-fourth servant without a hitch...... Listen, I don't know where you came from, but if you don't want to give up your last name for nothing, get out of here. ”

This time, Duran finally heard the source of the sound - it was the strange spider!

"Hell...... How can this spider speak? Druid? You've never heard of that druid transforming into a spider and something worthless, have you? Or onomatopoeia? Or is it something I haven't heard of? Duran muttered to himself that druids would not choose too weak creatures as their animal companions or the subject of Transfiguration.

Because as the druids grew, they had a limited number of creatures to choose from. In the long history of the continent of Fernan, I haven't heard of a famous druid who would change spiders? However, the drow elves who are proficient in evil arts seem to have related abilities, but those guys are far underground, almost close to the evil spirit void plane, and have long been isolated from the world.

When a druid apprentice advances to the power of Grey Iron, he will not only receive the blessing of Sivi, but also gain the first ability to change animals. Modest druids will get, but not limited to, the three creatures that have basic change spells: ravens from the Thousand Stone Islands, maned dogs from the eastern steppes, and stag stags that often roam the stag plains north of Cold Mountain. Of course, the more talented the druid, the more options they get, but that doesn't change the limit of the number of creatures that change the target. Every 10th level, you get a new type of mutant creature, so every druid will cherish it. Add to that the fact that spiders are synonymous with evil and intrigue even to the traditionally neutral druids, and stubborn ones would never experience the creature's perspective.

Now that the possible surnames of the druids have been ruled out, the only possible surnames left are the magic of the dark elves (drow) or some evil spirits, or even curses. Duran had to deal with it carefully.

And the other party's words sounded full of kindness, but Duran was also speechless for a while. As Anna persuaded at the Perón House before, perhaps in the eyes of others, running to the evil place as a big living person is simply full of food and nothing to do, and leaving early is the right way.

"But Lao Tzu has the bitterness of having to stay......" Duran smiled bitterly in his heart, if it weren't for the restrictions of the evil contract, he would have slipped away a long time ago. No matter how much experience and equipment this kind of place can provide, Duran will not easily set foot in it, after all, his life is the most important thing compared to these things.

He thought for a moment, looked up and asked, "You want me to go unless there is enough reason." ”

"Another greedy guy." The spider said with some trepidation, "Well, I don't know where you came from, but this is already a purgatory on earth. If you open that door, there's a good chance you'll wake up the sleeping Oberpheus, the terrible magic sword that will kill you and then take your soul and turn you into his servant. ”

"That's the magic sword Oberfis?" Duran squinted his eyes and looked through the glass window next to the door, but it was so dark that he could only see the outline of a furnace and some rough shadows.

"Yes," said the hoarse voice affirmatively, and the spider said hurriedly, "how powerful is Oppenpheus, you are no match for him at all." So listen to my advice and get out of here! It's just past midnight, and it's from twelve o'clock to one o'clock in the morning every day, which is the time when Opanepheus sleeps, and if you're lucky, when he wakes up, it's not just the ghost babies who will besiege you. ”

I see, Duran nodded in his heart, but he believed the spider's words a little, and when he stepped into the building, he heard the church bells in the town ring twelve, and now it was almost a quarter after twelve. If the message that the magic sword falls asleep at this time of day is true, then Duran feels that this clue has a lot to offer.

He didn't forget that the magic sword Oberpheus was clearly written in his mission goal, this thing is definitely not a good man and a woman, maybe it's still the **oss of this mission, Duran's relationship with him couldn't be clearer - you live or die.

Duran pondered for a moment, but his mind was spinning rapidly. He looked around, and suddenly said, "I would like to ask, Miss Amuse, what is that little fire in it?" ”

The spider was taken aback, and she trembled for a few moments - Duran could feel the violent shaking of the spider's web, which proved that his assumption was correct.

"You, you, how do you know? Do you know my name? Who are you? It took a while for the cobwebs to slowly calm down and ask calmly.

Duran shrugged his shoulders and said incomprehensibly, "Oh, I know so much, thank you so much for the information." If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you're like this is because of the effect of the curse, right? ”

The spider was silent for a while, and then replied in a trembling voice: "It's indeed a curse, I haven't been trapped here for I know how many years......"

Duran sighed in his heart, and already had an outline in his mind.

He had suspected a druid when he heard the spider speak, but it was obviously impossible. Then he quickly thought of the word curse - when he assassinated Andrew in White Sands, it was thanks to the help of a woman who was cursed as a black cat. The man's name was Lady Windsor, and it seems that he had an old grudge against Andrew, who had been permanently solidified into a black cat by the dragonman mage with an evil curse. Since the power of the curse can turn people into black cats, of course, they can also turn into spiders.

Unrelated people don't usually appear in the Wicked Lands, so Duran speculates that the spider is either the blacksmith's daughter, Amus, or the blacksmith himself. According to Duran's judgment, the former's likely surname is obviously greater. The reason is very simple, although mortals will smell the tiger when they hear the curse, but in Duran's opinion, the curse can also be good and bad. There are even curses that are placed to protect the cursed - such examples abound in the history of the continent.

The most famous is the [Curse of the Dead] cast by the original leader of the White Tower wizards during the battle of the Trident River, and the target of the spell was the famous Holy King Nottington I at that time. At that time, Nottington I was leading the army of the Ember and the army of [Angry Dragon] Heinsol, the battle was very stalemate, the blood completely moistened the color of the soil, and in the sea of corpses and blood, Heinsol and Nottington I drew their swords and fought each other, Nordington's swordsmanship was superior, and he used a gap to calmly stab Heinsol. The soldiers let out a sea of cheers, who would have thought that at this time, the duel between the two kings was ruined by an ignorant wizard - that man belonged to Heinsol's camp, and he secretly used a dark magic while Nordington deceived and defeated Heinsol, and the effect of that magic was to drain all the life of the target creature.

Nottington I accidentally fell into the dark magic for a while, and he was about to die, and at the critical moment, it was the leader of the White Tower wizards who had just split off from the Dark Wizards of the Anzedi that decisively used the [Curse of the Dead] on Nordington. This curse is far more powerful than the dark magic, and Nordington is directly and temporarily transformed into an undead, and his life force is directly reduced to zero, so the dark magic can no longer harm him. Nottington's army was thus demoralized and defeated the enemy at Trident Beach, thus laying the foundation for the reign of the Edinger dynasty for centuries.

At that time, the curse used by the leader of the wizards of the White Tower was to protect Nordington from the dark arts. And this move was also recorded in the perpetual calendar by scholars in the school city, and became one of the magic strokes that influenced the turning point of history.

……

"If I'm not mistaken, this curse was inflicted on his daughter by the blacksmith himself!" A hint of thought flashed in Duran's eyes, and he secretly speculated in his heart.

Although there are many unreliable points in this speculation, such as the debatability of an ordinary small-town blacksmith capable of casting curses, Duran is still determined to identify the spellcaster after thinking about all the candidates.

The reason is also very simple, there are three characters and a group of ghost babies in this scene. Ghost babies certainly don't play curses, they are simple-minded and love to kill; Oberphes may have had such abilities, but Duran received information from the spider's mouth that the sword would kill anyone it encountered, and then extract the soul as his servant. Curses or something, both troublesome and have no real effect, thankless; So the only candidate is the blacksmith Biyombo.

As for why the blacksmith put a curse on his daughter, it was probably for protection reasons. Thinking of this, Duran glanced meaningfully at the furnace and magic sword in the hall, and his mind spun faster, and countless possibilities could appear in his mind. His analytical skills were fully utilized, and all possible situations were exemplified by him, and then quickly overturned.

"I'm Amuse, even though the name is a little new to me. Over the years, I have even gotten used to the body of a spider. The spider slowly descended from the corner of the wall, her body expanding rapidly, and then began to change dramatically.

Duran only glanced at it, and then froze—only to see the spider's body swell to about the size of a normal person, and her forelimbs suddenly stood up, turning into the upper body of a girl. The worst thing is that her upper body is obviously **.

He took two steps back in some embarrassment, but didn't turn sideways. It's not that Duran is cheeky, it's that the Evil Land is in danger, and God knows if this Spider Girl will suddenly attack him, and he must be on guard at all times.

Amus became half-human, half-spider, and seemed to be a little shy himself. Fortunately, her hair is very long and thick, and it hangs down just enough to cover the two protrusions on her chest, which is not too embarrassing.

"It doesn't seem like the curse is too complete. Is the person who casts the spell on you a half-ass? Duran coughed, trying to ease the embarrassment.

Amus smiled bitterly and shook his head: "He is my father after all, although I don't even recognize him later." I don't know why he did it, hey, but at least I survived, didn't I? I'm lucky enough compared to the babies and ordinary people who were killed by the magic sword. ”

Really? A gleam flashed in Duran's eyes, and it was her father who had cast the curse on Amus.

Things got interesting, and to Duran's interest, Amus seemed to have some confusion about her father's actions. It's no wonder that not everyone is intellectually intelligent enough to understand the meaning behind the curse.

"So, can you tell me your story? Miss Amuse, a lot of people say I'm a good listener. Duran smiled brightly, and generously lit the torch and stuck it aside.

Whoosh!

A few sounds of breaking the air rushed from the side, and Duran, who was familiar with the ghost baby's sneak attack, didn't even look back, only heard two clangs, and the vampire scimitar crossed and slashed to the side at a strange angle.

The sneak attack ghost baby naturally ended up with his companions, and Duran also accepted 756 experience points with peace of mind.

"You're in good hands." Spider Girl complimented, her face couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad: "There have been people here before, but they have all been solved by the ghost babies outside." But don't be too happy, the reason why these ghost babies are so weak is because the magic sword is sleeping, once it wakes up, the strength of the ghost babies will also be greatly improved, and then you will be invincible with two fists and four hands. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Duran smiled, he had expected that this task would not be so simple, and the strength of the ghost babies could not be so weak forever, otherwise he could completely crush it sideways.

"Anyway, what do you want to know? Or, what is your purpose? Amus looked straight at Duran.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Duran, and as you can see, I'm an adventurer." Duran said quickly, "My goal is simple, and that is to take out Oberphes and his minions. ”

"It can't be!" Amus frowned and said, "The power of the magic sword is very strong, at least the wizard of the golden peak will have a chance to subdue him." ”

"Everything has weaknesses, and that's why I'm here. Tell me, I wonder what's going on here. Duran moved a bench from the side and sat down comfortably, assuming a graceful posture: "If you don't mind, you might as well start with yourself." ”

"Well, maybe I haven't seen the same kind in a long time, and I'll try to tell you what's going on here, while the magic sword is still some time away from awakening. Hopefully, this will dispel your greed - really, it's the best thing for you to do. Amus paused, Duran just shrugged his shoulders, and the girl sighed, a hint of rosy flashed on her pale face: "As you can see, I was originally an ordinary human girl, I love singing and dancing, and I want to be an outstanding dancer. Before it happened, I would go to the town's opera house every day to help out or learn dance. ”

"My dancing is great, this is what my teacher told me personally. But in a real performance at the opera house, I was always in a supporting role, and the reason was simple, people liked the main character - her name was Tina. In every performance, she always took away all the light. I envy her, and I know that as long as Tina is there, I'll never get a chance to be the main character......"

Duran's eyebrows furrowed slightly—wait, how did you get to the opera house?" Aren't we in a blacksmith's shop? What about the magic sword? What about your father? What about curses? Let's get to the point, girl!

Duran was a little confused by Amus's account, but he was not impatient and chose to continue listening.

"Even if I can't be the main character, being able to perform on stage is enough to make me happy." With a hint of reminiscence, Amus continued: "But things changed, and one day, Tina was unable to come to the opera house, and the others told me she was sick. At first I was worried about her condition, but soon my attention turned to myself. Because the director of the opera told me that Tina would not be able to attend the next performance on time and would have to change the lead role on an impromptu basis. And the person who replaced Tina was me. ”

"At that time, I was so nervous that I was thinking about how to perform perfectly all day. So much so that I overlooked the changes in the people closest to me - and in retrospect, it seems that it was that time when my father began to feel wrong. The smell of blood even began to fill the house, but I was unaware of the sudden happiness. ”

"I should have found out, I should have stopped this, it's all my fault." Amus shook his head a little excitedly: "But I am so focused on the performance that I can't care about anything else." ”

"And then?" Duran blinked, feeling that the drama was coming.

"And then? On the day of the performance, I woke up early, and at noon, the guest who had been visiting our house recently suddenly talked to me about the opera house. When he found out that I was going to perform, he took out a pair of crystal slippers and gave them to me. ”

"Crystal slippers?" If he was drinking tea, Duran might have squirted out a mouthful of water. How can there be a sense of Cinderella's immediacy?

"Yes, Duran, you've never seen those shoes at all. As soon as I saw it, I was mesmerized by it. Amus whispered, "Those crystal slippers are a gift from God." As soon as I put on my shoes, I felt more confident and the people around me looked at me differently. ”

"The guest told me that the crystal slipper enhances my charm and the beauty of my dance, which is a kind of divine grace. But the shoes also have their limitations, and once it's past 12 a.m., they will be eclipsed, so the guest told me to go home as soon as the show was over. ”

"At the latest, at the latest, not by twelve o'clock at midnight."
