The next day, near noon, Donk stayed in his captain's room, staring at his other self in the mirror. His hair was wet, the hair drooping down his forehead was dripping, he held a bottle of black liqueur in his left hand, and his right hand was wrapped around several bandages that encased the fish-shaped black marks.

Last night, because of Zela's presumptuous visit, the banquet of the dragon pirates became tasteless, and although Tang Ke later behaved lightly, the pirates' drinking mood was still greatly reduced, even if it is not an exaggeration to describe it as unhappy.

But the most uncomfortable person was Donk himself, who insisted on not saying anything about the curse, and buried this trouble in the bottom of his heart. He knows very well that everyone can't help him, and there is no need to say it to make the big guy uncomfortable. And the curse is still long, and he still has plenty of time to figure it out. Although his thoughts were optimistic, there was still a dark cloud in his heart.

The pain on the black mark was gone, but occasionally there was a lightning flash, and then it quickly disappeared. The pain that came here seemed to remind him that the curse was with him and could not be shaken off.

Donk wanted to know the way to lift the curse, at first, he planned to send a ship back to the small pirate city to inquire, but he thought about it, Harold had been cursed for so many years, he must have been running around for this matter, but in the end he still became a sea monster, which shows that the way to lift the curse of the fish must be difficult, or even insolvable! In that case, there was no need for him to rush around, and for the time being, he would focus on his original plan and not be distracted.

He had a guess that maybe if he killed Zela, the curse would disappear, and he felt that this guess was very feasible, which strengthened his original plan to ignore the curse and go according to plan.

A gentle knock on the door interrupted Donk's thoughts, and the door was pushed open to reveal Iona entering.

Iona wore silver-rimmed glasses as usual, her eyes behind the lenses were full of worry, she wore a white blouse with intricate folds at the neckline and cuffs, and crisp black trousers on the lower half of her body, which was very different from the dress of the women on the shore, but on the boat, she could only dress more smartly, and could not wear those bloated skirts.

Donk looked at Iona and was very impressed, he liked Iona's unique and capable demeanor. Iona's eyes of appreciation do not hide from it, and she seems to be down-to-earth and generous. The two exchanged hello, and Donk grabbed the towel from the shelf and wiped the water from his face, while Iona stepped aside.

Iona stared at the gauze on Donke's right hand, her worried expression tended to be solemn, and she said in a roundabout way: "Donke, I have the same heart as you, and I am willing to bear some heavy things with you." ”

Donk knew what Iona had discovered, but he didn't want to tell the truth about the curse, so he pretended to be confused, "Heavy thing? I'm not going to make you go back to the sack, you can help me take care of the accounts, and it's enough to do the statistics. ”

"Of course, it doesn't mean the sack, the heavy stuff is difficult." Iona walked up to Donk, raised her smooth and delicate little face, and looked directly at Donk with beautiful eyes. Her breasts bulged proudly, and her clothes were stretched in an arc, and she was about to press against Donk.

Donk saw real concern in Iona's eyes, and his heart was touched, and he smiled and shook his head, "Difficult? No, I don't have any difficulties. ”

"And what's wrong with your hand?" Iona asked, moving forward, as if it would give her more momentum, and her chest would be closer to Donk.

"I was hurt yesterday when I shook hands with Zela, and the guy wanted to shake my hand with the intention of stabbing me. Tsk, it's really a little family. ”

"Donk, what are you hiding? Why can't you share it with me or with us? Iona looked incredulous.

Donk zoomed up his voice and said, "It's just a few small injuries, so why bother people everywhere?" ”

"Then you let me see your hands, or I won't be reassured."

Donk hesitated, but couldn't resist Iona's stubbornness, so he had to hand it over.

Iona reached out and carefully peeled off the gauze, her movements gentle for fear of hurting Donk. The gauze unraveled in circles, revealing blood-stained palms.

Donk had sliced off a black mark with his knife the previous night, and found that the curse had penetrated deep into it, not just on the skin, because of this, the blood stain had obscured the curse's mark.

Iona picked up Donk's injured hand, looked at the shocking wound, her eyes slowly turned red, and she cried and asked, "It must be painful, right?" ”

Donk noticed tears in Iona's eyes, and he was surprised, he didn't expect Iona to cry so easily. In order to stop the tears that were about to fall, he hurriedly said, "Actually, it doesn't hurt at all!" It's just a small wound, and any wound on my body is bigger than this. How about you hold back and let me tell you a joke? ”

Iona smiled, tears not falling.

Tang Ke breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly wrapped the gauze around it.

Iona thought it was just an ordinary wound, believed Donk's words, and then didn't ask any more questions, the two chatted for a while, and then said goodbye happily.

Tang Ke was the only one left in the room, and he had no plans to eat, so he couldn't help but start looking at his palms. At this time, the black seal happened to send a burst of pain like electricity. He endured his own pain and intuitively felt the power of the warlock profession. Warlock is a class that borrows the power of the Abyssal Demons, is able to inflict pain with the power called Shadow, summon Abyssal Flames, and directly drive demons as slaves!

That's right, Warlock!

Donk was full of excitement, his eyes were shining, and he almost screamed. His previous attention was all on the curse, and he ignored another thing that was extremely beneficial to him, and what Zela brought him was not only the curse, but also the conditions for activating the Warlock class!

In this world, with the exception of a few lost professions, the most powerful profession is currently recognized as the magician. However, it is difficult to meet these rare masters, and Tang Ke has not had the opportunity to see them so far, let alone activate this profession. Warlocks are inferior to mages, but they are just as capable of casting spells, possessing terrifying destructive powers, summoning demons, and casting some damaging curses.

Donk still has a class vacancy, and he feels that it is very appropriate to fill it with a warlock, so that he has the physique of a swordsman, and the spells of a warlock, which is very ideal. While having an extra class will inevitably greatly increase the cost of bonus points, there aren't many bonus points needed to activate a first-tier class.

He made up his mind, clicked on the system interface, and quickly flipped through it.

Warlock:

Description: Warlocks who work with the darkness and spend their lives studying the power of demons, even summoning demons from the abyss. It can be said that Warlock is a legal class that focuses on destruction, and the combat style is quite diverse, making it difficult for enemies to parry.

Warlocks' power comes from the Abyssal Plane, but in order to connect to the Abyss Plane, they need soul fragments as a medium. Warlocks are able to control the power of shadows, the most negative force in the world, lurking in everyone's hearts, and through shadow power, warlocks can make enemies feel untold pain. The warlock was able to summon the flames of the abyss, a powerful flame that even demons had to retreat for three points, enough to generate the power to burn the prairie fire. What warlocks are most proud of is that they can summon and drive demons.

Required bonus points: 400.

Changed after activation: Has Shadow Power, Has Mana, Shadow Power +2, Mana +3. You can learn the [Fallen] skill, communicate with the abyss with an evil heart, use it for cultivation and mana recovery, and the [Dark Flame] skill, release a flame from the abyss, combat power +2, mana -1.

After a general glance, Tang Ke was deeply satisfied, but judging from the introduction of the first order, it was still very weak. What makes him a little concerned is that after becoming a warlock, he will inevitably have to deal with demons, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he will become more evil. Fortunately, the price of becoming evil is acceptable to him, and he cannot be stopped.

He took a deep breath, was well prepared, clicked OK in his mind, and the feeling of enlightenment came. He raised his head slightly, feeling the information pouring in. When he opened his eyes again, he already had the qualifications and abilities of a warlock! In terms of appearance, he is no different from before, but there is a shadow power in his body that is ready to move.

He stood up, intending to release a small flame to try, but as soon as his hand was halfway out, he felt that something was wrong, he was now missing a staff. At this point, he didn't have to be stingy, Suo continued to squeeze out the remaining bonus points, and entered the [Exchange] interface to find a suitable staff. This kind of items are all treasures, and the cost of points is very amazing, even the most inferior ordinary level staff, it needs 300 bonus points, and a slightly better staff, the required points make Tang Ke feel even more painful.

In the end, he had to buy a deadwood staff to deal with it first. It's cheap and not good, and his staff is very bad, bare, like an old man's crutch. At the top of the staff is a stained gem, this gem can be used as a container for soul fragments, the staff currently carries a small part of the soul fragments, once depleted, can only be replenished by the dead, and the fresher the dead, the better, the stronger the dead, the better.

With a short incantation, Donk sensed the opening of the Abyssal Gate, and the power of evil traveled through the distant space to the captain's chamber.

"Bump!"

Black flames burst out, and the temperature in the room suddenly increased.

Tang Ke exclaimed in joy and shook his hand, letting the black flames dissipate without a trace. Then, he experimented with the "Fall" skill again, sat upright in his chair, closed his eyes and pondered.

Ordinary warlocks need to worship the Demon Statue to open the Abyss Gate, but Donk is an exception, he can skip the step of worshipping the Demon Statue and let his mind go directly into the Abyss. His body was still in the physical plane, but his mind had already traveled far away to the Abyssal Gate, which was erected on top of two towering mountains, in the shape of an arched bridge across both sides, with a swirling flame rotating in the middle, and the center of the flame was pure black.

There was a huge suction force from the Abyss Gate, and Tang Keding didn't have the power to resist, so he was directly sucked in. The Flame Vortex was like a random portal, throwing Donk directly somewhere on the first level of the Abyss.

When Tang Ke's mind reached this point, it turned into a round eyeball, but this eyeball was not an entity, but an energy body, as if it was made up of empty points of light. He felt a little dizzy, and when he came back to his senses, he looked around.

There was a large ball of fire baking the earth above, like the sun that had been magnified countless times, and here and there was barren scorched earth everywhere, and there were cracks in the ground everywhere, and in the cracks of the ground were hot red magma, and as far as the eye could see, there were endless mountains, and many erupting volcanoes. This place was obviously not suitable for ordinary creatures, and Tang Ke was glad that he had only reached it with his mind, and even so, he could still feel the hot heat, and in addition to the heat, he also felt the evil energy that permeated everywhere!

He sucked in the evil energy around him, feeling as if he was getting a little stronger. He could have found a place to cultivate, but he was more interested in the situation around him, so he swaggered out and flew out. I don't know if he was unlucky or lucky, but not long after he drifted, he saw a ruin behind the mountain, which consisted of many ruins and broken walls, and a half-section of the statue that was tilted. Curious, he leaned in and heard strange screams coming from the ruins.

He walked through a dilapidated gate and into the ruins, surrounded by buildings made of stone that could withstand the heat, and the most of the things here besides the buildings were bones. He casually barged into a room, but it was empty. After he withdrew, he flew straight to the source of the sound, wanting to see what the creatures of the abyss were like. He sped through the near-melting heat, over a high wall, and saw the scene below.

I saw five small monsters gathered together, they were very small, with sharp beaked monkey gills, long ears similar to goblins, a pair of upturned and curved sharp horns on their foreheads, and long hairs as hot and red as filis. They are imps, the most numerous low-level demons in the abyss, all over the abyss, sometimes they are cannon fodder for battle, sometimes they are food for high-level demons, and they are very worthless. In the middle of the five of them was a pile of bone fragments with simple patterns carved into them, which turned out to be a game similar to throwing dice.

One of the imps sensed Donk's presence and jumped up and screamed a few times, the sound was close to that of a monkey, and the rest of the imps also turned their faces and glared at Donk with aggression.

In his current state, he couldn't do anything, let alone resist, he couldn't even speak. He saw a few imps with bad intentions, shrunk a few times, and stepped back.

The little goblin who first noticed Tangk screamed a few times, and suddenly sprang up, not only moving flexibly, but also jumping very high.

Before he was caught, Donk began to withdraw his thoughts, but this kind of thing could not be moved at will, and he could not return to the material plane for a while. He had no choice but to float up to a high place, but he was still grabbed by the little ghost, his eyes were dark, he couldn't see the situation clearly, he only felt the pressure around him, and his mind was in severe pain, this pain was different from the pain of the body, and it directly acted on his thoughts and heart. He endured it until his thoughts were crushed. His mind forced his surname back to the Sky, and because his mind was crushed, the evil power he absorbed was lost in vain, and his mana was not only not restored, but lost a little.

Although the first exploration ended in destruction, Donk had achieved his goal, and his mood was still cheerful. In order to show off, he came to the deck and shouted at the busy pirates: "Little ones, watch the captain, I will show you a new skill!" After he finished speaking, he used the Dark Flame skill for the second time, successfully creating a fist-sized flame.

Seeing this scene, the pirates on the deck were stunned, and one of the pirates who had not revisited reminded him curtly: "Commander, don't let you play with fire on the ship." ”
