"I'm not going to lie to you guys, it's not about money. The Witch of the Forest resolutely refused Leeben's request in a cold tone.

This is the third day that Lee Ben has come to this cursed world. According to Beyotis, the longer you stay here, the more you become connected to the cursed world, and if you reach a certain point, even if you don't do anything during this time, just live in obscurity, you will be haunted by curses and it will be difficult to leave this place.

So, as soon as their plan was formulated, they immediately began to implement it.

Before it was completely dark, Lee Ben set out from the inn and went to the witch's drugstore, where he became her first guest of the day. He proposes a deal to be advertised in the name of a witch's prophecy.

Promote a show for the night – there are two outsiders who will perform on the moon tonight.

"I know your concerns. Li Ben said straight to the point: "You are worried about the damage to your reputation. ”

"It's good that you understand, if nothing else, you can leave. "The witch ordered the eviction.

"No, it's not over yet. The point is, you just don't believe we can go to the moon, do you?"

"That's right. If you can prove to me that you have what it takes to go to the moon, I can even do publicity for you for free. After all, this kind of miraculous performance, I am also very interested in seeing. ”

Li Ben said in a confident tone: "Of course I have a way to prove it, but before I prove it to you, I want to know how to use the magic bean to reach the moon." ”

He took out a hundred gold coins that had been freshly baked on the way and handed them to the witch.

The witch asked suspiciously, "Do you have a way to get the magic bean?"

"That's not a concern. ”

The witch informed Lee of the method and said, "Even if you get the magic bean, it will be difficult to go to the moon in this way." I'm curious, why are you so obsessed with going to the moon? Do you want to go to the legendary palace of the moon god?"

"Everybody has his reasons for doing things, but that's not what we're concerned about right now. Next, I will prove to you that I can go to the moon. ”

"Oh?" the witch's eyes narrowed slightly, and she was interested in what Li Ben was going to show next.

But Li Ben didn't come up with anything special to prove it.

He asked the witch, "Do you believe in the accuracy of your divination and prophecy?"

"Of course. ”

"The method I prove to you is very simple, it only requires you to perform a divination, and the content is, when you are willing to promote for us, the result of our moon landing at night. If you really believe in your divination powers, this prophecy will be the strongest proof. ”

"That's true, but why does the content of the prophecy have to be the premise that I am willing to promote for you?"

"Because it's only with your power that we can succeed. Li Ben did not find any other reason to prevaricate, and directly said the key points.

"It's weird, I didn't know I had that ability. Well, I'll try it, please pay the ten gold coins for this divination first. ”

Li Ben took out another ten gold coins.

The witch's divination ritual on the crystal ball soon ended.

She frowned, a little incredulous at what she had seen.

"What was the result?" asked Lee.

"It seems that you are not lying. ”

"So..."

"Wait, I'll try again in another way. The witch took out a set of wooden mysterious rune boards, placed a piece of white paper, covered it with a black cloth, poured a red unknown liquid into the drainage groove carved in the upper right corner of the rune board, and then cast a spell.

When she uncovered the black cloth and took out the white paper, the red liquid formed a strange and regular pattern on the paper. The witch uses her index finger to move along the pattern in a certain pattern to interpret it.

Eventually, she was surprised and said, "It's funny, this time I did two prophecies at the same time, and the result is that if I don't help you, this performance will end in failure." If I help you, it will indeed end up as you say. ”

Li Ben saw a sly smile on the witch's face, and he knew that the witch would not let go of this opportunity to make money.

"I think we need to talk about the price. The witch said.

"I remember you said..."

"That doesn't count. ”

"What?"

"I didn't count what I said before. ”

"Well, the price is half of the performance revenue. ”

"Ninety percent, you have to rely on me for your performance. ”

"Sixty percent, no more. Landing on the moon is no easy task. ”

The witch behaved like a philistine peasant woman.

Just as Lee Ben and the witch were bargaining each other, on the other side of the city of Glow, Beyotis was hyping up the night's performance, and the news of their moon landing even alarmed the royal family. For a time, it was known throughout the city that there would be two strangers arriving from a foreign country to perform on the moon in the largest square of Glowing City in the evening.

When Beytis made the publicity, it was also when Li Ben rushed to negotiate with the witches, and long before the prophecy was established, the content of the publicity moon landing performance included the "Destiny Weaver Girl Guarantee".

The royal family, nobles, and commoners sent people to the forest to verify and ask the witch if there was such a thing.

When people saw the sign promoting the moon landing show standing in front of the witch's drugstore, excitement filled their minds.

The witch only met with a few royal messengers and some people of status, and introduced them to the mysterious performer Li Ben. And explained the specific arrangements for the performance.

The final transaction price between Lee Ben and the witch was 30% of the performance income for Lee Ben's side, and 70% for the witch.

In fact, Li Ben didn't care how many gold coins he could get, because their ultimate goal was just to leave this cursed land through the door on the moon.

Most of the reason for bargaining with witches is to uphold the principle of acting in a complete way, and a small part is to collect some gold coins in case you need them.

"There are three million people in the city, but the square can only accommodate half a million people at most. According to the distance of the core of the performance, it is most appropriate to position the ticket price ranging from 100 to 10 gold coins. "The witch is figuring out how to make the most money.

But this is not what Lee Ben is thinking about, he needs to let as many people as possible witness his moon landing with Beyotis performance.

It's too hard to get to the moon, even though it's a magical world. After learning the truth of the cursed world, the only possible way for Lee Ben and Beitis to think of is to use the cursed power of the world itself to perform a ritual to turn the fake into reality, and through the power of the ritual, they can reach the exit.

This power is "believing".

Through a conclusive publicity, attract the attention of the public, and then through psychological suggestion and other methods, people have expectations. How to turn this expectation into belief will be the key to the night performance.

This is also a method that only those who see the truth of the world can think of.

"Is there a way to broadcast the live footage in real time?" asked the witch.

"Live, great idea! I could open one, no, a dozen or so viewing spots outside the city, for two gold coins, and I could earn more! I know a few of my peers, and it would be nice to hire them for some money!" said the witch with a smile.

The clock was fast approaching night.

Under the sparse sky of the moon and stars, the world has changed dramatically.

The mass of undead rotting corpses began to move, humming like flies.

The corpses exposed to the moonlight, emitting a disgusting smell, brought their own food and wine, and waited quietly for the show to begin.

"What a terrible sight, to be part of the curse, that the eyes of these deceased are only illusions, and if we fail to get out of here, sooner or later we will become like them, and then we will never see the exit from the moon again. Beyotis said as she looked at the surging walking corpses.

"That must be the witch, and the royal family and the nobility here are watching from that brightly lit tower. "Lee Ben saw the corpse of a woman with a golden agate necklace in the crowd, which he had seen on the witch's chest.

The corpses did not know that they were dead, and they acted in the same way as normal people. But their words, just as they are exposed to the moonlight to reveal their true food and drink, cannot be received by the living.

Faced with these deceased, Lee Ben and Beyotis could not understand their words, and could only briefly guess their intentions from some body movements.

The two must treat them as human beings, and put on a show without disobedience while suppressing their fears and nausea.

The two walked into the performance area in the center, and several unusually dressed ghouls held out their hands to them, and Lee Ben and Beyotis had to hold them so as not to offend these "nobles". When they let go, some carrion stuck to their hands with white maggots.

They didn't say much, just nodded frequently, and after the handshake, the performance quickly began.

"We are traveling adventurers from another continent, and we have some powers that the people of this place do not have...", Li Ben said in a trick, the mask he had been wearing all along, adding a lot of mystery to him at this time.

His opening remarks with Beyotis are an important part of the ritual in which they must convince the world's cursed creatures of a false identity that they have fabricated in order to avoid the causal entanglement of this mass attention-grabbing performance, which could lead to them being corrupted by the curse.

After the opening remarks, Li Ben talked about the key point: "I believe everyone is wondering, how are we going to get to the moon? In fact, before we came to this place, we didn't have any specific way to land on the moon, but only a paranoid desire to explore the moon. However, while we were looking around, we heard about the name of the 'Weaver Girl of Destiny', and from this great witch, we learned of the existence of the 'Magic Bean'..."

Lee Ben nodded to Beyotis suggestively.

Immediately, Beyotis took out a brown wooden box in the dodecahedron shape, and the box was engraved with beautiful patterns.

She placed the box on the ground and painstakingly carved a circle, which, with her miraculous manipulation, floated and glowed with emerald green.

This display of magic, which is completely different from this world, caused a commotion in the corpse group.

The box slowly unfolds ceremoniously, revealing one of the broad beans.

"This is the magic bean!" Li Ben said loudly.

Most of the corpses watching the performance had no eyeballs, but at this time, their dark and terrifying black holes were lit up with scarlet points of light.

As the light point lit up, the broad bean floating in the air changed, and it suddenly became the size of an adult's fist, with tentacles sticking out of the surface, and flying up and down in the magic array, the speed became faster and faster.

The corpses swayed, a sign of their fear of the cursed.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Li Ben shouted: "Don't worry, we have already made restrictions on the magic bean! It will not threaten anyone!"

The magic bean really calmed down and floated quietly in mid-air.

Whew! The plan is halfway there. Li Ben breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
