CH.32 The Rain Keeps Falling (Ask for Collection)
The next day, Anrui and Hermiin set off for a local exchange to buy spellcasting materials to lift the curse. There are thirteen kinds of materials, some common and some rare. The two walked around the exchange, but only found five materials, which was still a lot short.
The only thing to blame is that Traveler's Harbor is too small, just a small place, and many things can't be bought.
After leaving the exchange, the two of them went to some other places in the harbor that sold special items, and also visited the local sanctuary and two wizards, and finally scraped together two more materials. The two of them had almost run the entire Traveler's Harbor, but they still couldn't get it together.
It turns out that even if you have money, you can't get all the spell casting materials here, and if you want to get all the materials, you can only find another port.
"What a broken place, you can't even buy some spell casting materials." Anrui walked out of a wizard's house and into the street, muttering a word. Anyone who is cursed will not be in a good mood.
Hermione followed and comforted her.
At this moment, a vision suddenly appeared in the sky, and a dark cloud quickly gathered. The area of the dark cloud is not large, it is only five yards wide, and the pressure is very low, much lower than the normal dark cloud. Dark clouds hovered over Anrui's head, obscuring out the sun.
The shadow cast down, attracting An Rui's attention, he looked up and saw this dark cloud, and felt that this dark cloud was very strange, not like a naturally formed dark cloud.
Seeing that something was wrong, An Rui hurriedly jumped to the side to avoid the dark cloud for the sake of safety. As soon as he landed on his front foot, the dark cloud seemed to be magnetically attracted. At once followed, and it was draped over his head.
This situation was obviously more abnormal, and he frowned. A shake of the hand is a sword. The stormy energy swept into the sky, tearing the dark clouds apart. But not long after the dark clouds dispersed, they coalesced together at a very fast speed and changed back to their original state.
The dark clouds are formless, and they are not afraid of swords at all.
An Rui looked at this scene, sighed lightly, and tried with his sword a few more times. But no matter how many times you try, the result is the same. Once the clouds have been split, they will soon recover.
Brute force alone. There seems to be no way to completely destroy this dark cloud.
"What the hell is this?" Anrui no longer acted brutally, but ran into the distance, trying to distance himself from the dark clouds. His speed was much faster than the clouds, and it was easy to shake them off.
The dark clouds flew towards Anrui. The goal is quite clear. It's also quite persistent, as if Anrui owes it money.
Hermione then chased after her, reuniting with Anrui.
"Did you see that scene just now? That dark cloud is chasing me! An Rui thought that someone was plotting against him, but he couldn't remember what kind of spell it was for a while, could it be the corrosive rain of wizards?
"See, I think it might be ......" Hermione guessed something,
"Look! It's flying again! Anrui interrupted Hermione and pointed to the sky.
A dark cloud seemed to have wings. Quickly approaching.
An Rui's sword couldn't hold the dark clouds, and he thought of escaping again. But Hermione next to him stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Anrui, don't rush away yet, I think this dark cloud may be related to the curse. The Devil's Treasure Chest transforms every three days, and today may be the day of the transformation. Hermin reminded.
"Yes, that makes sense." An Rui calmed down, nodded, and looked at the approaching dark clouds, "What curse effects are related to the dark clouds?" ”
"If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be the 'Chicken Curse'."
"Falling Chicken Curse ......" An Rui recalled for a moment, remembering the effect of this curse, and said with a bitter face, "Isn't it? ”
"Isn't it verifying to know the way? Don't move, and see what the clouds do next. ”
It was indeed not An Rui's style to hide and hide, he simply stood in place with the courage to let the strange dark clouds drift overhead.
The dark clouds stopped directly above An Rui, and under the gaze of the two of them, a large number of raindrops fell on An Rui's head. The rain is cool, nothing peculiar, just the most ordinary rain.
This is exactly the effect of the curse, if you are hit by this curse, you will condense a dark cloud of rain overhead, and wherever you go, the dark cloud will follow, and the person who is cursed will be drenched into a chicken in the soup.
An Rui looked up at the dark clouds, moved a step to the left, and the dark clouds followed, and moved a step to the right, and the dark clouds followed again, not leaving an inch.
"Fuck, it's a chicken curse." An Rui was sure now, and raised his hand to wipe his wet face. The rain kept falling, drenching his clothes and body.
Hermione distanced herself from Anrui, avoiding the rain, and comforted: "Actually, you should look at this matter from a different angle, although the Chicken Curse is very annoying, it is not dangerous, it is much stronger than those deadly curses. If you switch to the 'Peeling Spell', 'Despair Spell', or 'Tongue Biting Spell', you'll be in a much worse situation right now. ”
An Rui has also heard of these curses, and he feels terrible just thinking about them, but if he compares them, the soup chicken curse is indeed milder.
"Okay, I'll take a free shower." An Rui also comforted himself.
"And it's a three-day shower." Hermione said.
"Hopefully in three days I won't get moldy." An Rui smiled bitterly.
After accepting the dark cloud, the two set out on their way back to the hotel. Wherever Anrui went, the dark cloud followed, like a pug loyal to his master. Halfway through, Anrui bought an umbrella to cover the falling rain.
Passers-by looked at this magical scene, one by one more surprised, and pointed at An Rui.
It's a sunny day now, and only An Rui has a dark cloud above his head, and this scene is more or less funny in addition to being weird.
"You see, there's a dark cloud over that man's head following him, it's amazing!"
"It may be that you have done too much iniquity and have received retribution."
"People are doing it, the sky is watching, and it's true."
Passers-by speculated wildly about the origin of the dark clouds.
Listening to the words of these passers-by, An Rui was very angry. and transferred all this anger to his hatred of Bai Ge. He thought that killing Bai Ge would solve the entanglement between the two, but he didn't expect that Bai Ge would not stop after his death. turned into an undead spirit, and imposed an unbreakable curse on him.
"Damn it." An Rui gritted his teeth.
"Anrui, in fact, in addition to the normal method of spell resolution, I have two other ways to solve the spell, but ......" Hermione hesitated.
"Do you mean 'negative transfer'? If it's that magic, forget it. I don't want to transfer my troubles to you. Anrui remembers very well that Hermione had misused this magic technique in the first place, which was why many of the petrification effects were transferred to himself.
"That's one of them. I also know another magic technique called 'Planting' that transfers the effects of the curse. ”
"Planting Technique......" An Rui's eyes lit up suddenly, "I remembered." This magic can also deflect the effects of curses! ”
"Yes, the effect of the negative transfer technique is somewhat similar to that of a negative transfer technique, but it is fundamentally different."
Anrui was reluctant to transfer the curse on Hermione. But don't mind transferring the curse to someone else who isn't related. For example, pirates, death row prisoners, etc.
This way of transferring the curse is somehow simpler than the normal way of unsolving the curse, but it will trap another person. It's a pity that this magic can't be used on animals or monsters, it is only effective on people, otherwise it will be more convenient.
"That's a good way to solve the spell." An Rui stopped and said excitedly, "Let's not go back yet, let's go to the cell in the port instead." See if there are any heinous criminals there, if any. and transferred the curse to him. ”
"I can accept the transfer to the most vicious people, but not to the good people, if you randomly find someone to transfer the curse, I would rather transfer the curse to myself." Hermione said righteously.
"Rest assured. I'll pick a suitable person to start with. Anrui came to his senses and beckoned to Hermione, his pace much faster than before.
The two inquired with passers-by, asked where the local cell was, and hurried over. When he arrived, An Rui gave the warden a few silver coins, put them on a close, and then asked about the prisoners.
"Where are there any prisoners now? This is a small place, there are not many prisoners in the first place, but two days ago the local admiral got married, took a beautiful wife, and happily released all the prisoners in the cell. The warden waved his hand.
"No prisoners?" An Rui's eyes widened instantly.
"No, not one, it's rare for me to be so idle in the past two days."
"You can't even let the condemned prisoners go, right?"
"There were no death row prisoners among the prisoners released a few days ago, at most they were drunkards and hooligans or something."
Anrui was so disappointed that he didn't bother to talk nonsense with the warden anymore, and left the cell directly.
Without the condemned prisoner, there is no object that can be used to deflect the curse.
An Rui didn't want to harm those honest people who had no grievances with him, and he didn't want to transfer the curse to his subordinates, so he had to carry it himself.
"Why don't we go and ask if there are any bullies in the area or something?" Hermione saw that Anrui was not in a good mood and proposed.
"If you don't waste that time, if you are cursed, you will be cursed, and I don't believe that this curse can pit me to death." An Rui said angrily, "We will go directly to the sea today and go to the 'Aran Ancient Kingdom', which is the residence of the 'Great Holy Hall' of the Blade Sea, and we will definitely be able to gather those spell casting materials." ”
The ancient kingdom of Aran is the oldest country in the Blade Sea, and it is also the most powerful country, and it is the overlord here!
The Great Church is an institution set up by the "Cross Church", which is one level higher than the ordinary church. There is only one large church in each sea area, and the main church has jurisdiction over the churches in each part of the sea area and gives orders to the churches. A large church or church is a place of worship, a place for priests to live and for worshippers to pray.
Cross religion is the largest religion in this world, the god is God, and its followers are all over the world, and its power extends to every corner of the seven seas. The supreme leader of the Crusades is the Pope, who rules over all the priests of the world, and under the pope are the regional bishops, and under the regional bishops are the ordinary bishops, under the ordinary bishops are the priests, and under the priests are the priests, and under the priests are the faithful.
The large number of Crucivers, coupled with the strength of the priests themselves, made their influence so great that even some empires had to obey the orders of the Crucifixion. Crucifixion is limited by its doctrine and cannot be misconducted. We can only focus on curing the sick and saving people. If it weren't for this, the Crucidian Cult would probably have developed into the number one force in the Seven Seas.
If An Rui wants to obtain the treasure of the undead, he naturally needs a holy relic that can restrain the undead. This can only be sold in the Sanctuary or the Great Church.
The holy relics made by the Great Holy Church are more advanced than those of the Holy Church, so since you want to buy them, of course, you have to choose to buy them at the Great Holy Church.
Even if An Rui didn't fall under the curse, he would have gone to the Great Sanctuary of the Ancient Kingdom of Aran, but the curse had advanced the trip.
The Great Church of the Ancient Kingdom of Syria also had an extraordinary meaning for Hermione. It was there that she was baptized and became a priest, where she had her teachers and fellow initiates. It's just that I don't know if those people are still there.
"The Great Church...... It's such a nostalgic place. Hermione looked into the distance and said leisurely.
The ancient kingdom of Aran was about a five-day voyage away, and Anrui could reach it with two rounds of curse attacks. Five days. Three of them are soup chicken curses, and the remaining two days depend on luck.
The two made their decision and returned to the hotel.
When his subordinates saw the dark clouds floating above An Rui's head, they were all dumbfounded.
"Captain. What is this on your head? A crew member asked.
"It's just a dark cloud. Don't mind. Anrui walked into the hotel under the stunned gaze of everyone. Dark clouds followed through a window, drenching in the rain.
The Horned Helmet has been almost repaired, only some minor problems have not been repaired, and these minor problems can be repaired during the voyage, and they will not affect the sea at all.
An Rui didn't linger any longer, packed up his things, and led his subordinates directly to the dock.
During this process, dark clouds followed his head. It attracted the attention of countless onlookers. The others all hid to the side in order not to get wet. Expose him, the captain, there alone.
After getting on the boat, An Rui went directly into the captain's room, and closed the doors and windows tightly, blocking the dark clouds out. But it wasn't a long-term solution, as the clouds clung to the windows and slowly penetrated into the room through the cracks. The moisture re-condensed inside the house, forming a new dark cloud.
This dark cloud is more difficult to deal with than the sea monster, and it cannot be dispersed or avoided.
Dark clouds floated against the roof and stopped above An Rui's head, and a light rain fell in the house.
An Rui had no choice but to sit in the middle of the house, holding an umbrella above his head to resist the dripping rain. Looking at the water flowing down from the edge of the umbrella, he suddenly remembered some songs about rain and laughed at himself.
He spent three days tormented by dark clouds and light rain, and on the third day, the clouds finally dispersed, and the clouds opened to see the moon. This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, because a new curse is coming. He did some self-examination and found something different from his usual appearance, which was clearly caused by a new curse.
He immediately approached Hermione and told him about the new curse.
"He, He, Hermi, I, I, I've got a new curse that can make me ...... Knock, knock, knock. An Rui had an expression of wanting to cry without tears.
"It's the effect of the Knock Charm." Hermione breathed a sigh of relief, "The Knock Curse can't kill people, now I'm relieved." In two days we will be able to reach the ancient kingdom of Aram, and then we will be able to help you lift the curse, so you can endure it for another two days. ”
"Du, all, all blame that damn Bai Ge, next time I see him, I must beat him to the soul, soul, soul ......"
"Scattered?" Hermione asked.
"No, no, that's right."
"Captain, you've been hit by the stumbling curse, so let's talk less. I'm so tired from listening to you. ”
"I, I, I'm more tired." An Rui said depressedly.
For the next two days, Anrui tried not to speak, so as not to cause laughter. Those damn crew and sailors would lean back with laughter every time they heard him stumble. He later simply ordered that it was forbidden to talk about the word knock, and whoever mentioned the word knock was punished for washing the deck for a month.
Two days later, in the middle of the night, the fleet finally approached its destination, not far from the ancient kingdom of Aran.
An Rui was depressed for a few days, but finally got better, and came to the deck to blow the wind.
At this time, most people are sleeping, and only a few people remain on the deck to work.
With his hands in his pockets, An Rui walked nonchalantly from the stern to the bow.
A sailor was squatting on the deck with a sail rope tied, looking very struggling. As Anrui walked past him, he jerked his head up and lunged at Anrui, flicking his sleeve to reveal a hidden sharp dagger. He held the dagger in his backhand and drew a semicircular silver arc of light, viciously striking An Rui's left heart.
Assassins again!
The fleet was heavily manned, and new recruits were often recruited, making it easy for Assassins to sneak in. This place is very close to the ancient kingdom of Aram, and after a successful assassination, you can go ashore and escape. The Assassins' choice of this point in time to carry out the assassination was also apparently premeditated.
An Rui's eyes lit up, and he responded to the danger, crossed his hands in front of him, and used his half-dragon transformation ability to make his arms grow a dragon scale as hard as armor.
The dagger was stabbed at the point where the arms were crossed, and the tremendous force shattered the scales, piercing the flesh below, but not much deeper.
An Rui counterattacked, swinging the dagger as he reached out and grabbed the Assassin's wrist, taking a sharp step back, pulling the Assassin to a staggering position. The reason why he didn't use the six-pointed star badge to teleport just now was precisely to use this hand.
Seeing that his wrists were buckled, the assassin's eyes changed drastically, and before he could react, a sharp pain immediately came from his wrists, and they were actually broken!
"Ahh
Screams pierced the night sky. (To be continued......)
