Chapter 16: Analyzing the Curse
Colors aside, Krent felt an indescribable familiarity with the red-haired child in front of him.
Especially those eyes. With the same brownish-red eyes with serpentine pupils, he had been staring at him tightly eleven years ago, and then Clent had to adopt Elph.
"What's your name, son, and where are you from?" asked Krent, as amiable as he could.
"Carl Zolken!" the red-haired kid stood up straight and answered Krent's question super loudly, "The Argonian colony from Erward, the former Dragon's Forbidden Land! My people have been attacked! I escaped! I heard that there was a school for me!
All wurmians have these pupils, and the kid looks about the same age as Elver. Krent comforted himself in his heart, that the oracle was also a god, and he must have died of the god's illness a long time ago.
"Don't be so nervous, I want to ask you, did you put a curse on the village?"
"It's my ......" Carl, who was still full of confidence, wilted suddenly, "I was anesthetic, and I cursed my brain unclear, and now I can't untie it......" He timidly pointed at Vincent, "Brother Vincent said, there must be a way to come to you." ”
Vincent was satisfied with what Carl called him, put his elbow on Alver's shoulder, and stood crookedly and said, "Our headmaster used to be the Terran Pope, and he was outstanding in magic!"
Krent glanced coldly at Vincent, who immediately withdrew his hand from Elver's shoulder and stood up straight.
"Mr. Headmaster, we found this, did the children find anything?" Milan walked over with a few of the team members holding a sturdy-bound leather-covered notebook.
"Elph and Vincent save a child, and it was the child who started the curse. Krent took the note, looked at it page by page, and said, "But the conditions of this child's curse are too general, and it should be impossible to meet the conditions to crack it." ”
"Your name is Carl, right?" Milan smiled and bent over to look at Carl, "It's a little Argonian, it's really rare." ”
"How did Miss Milan know his name was Carl?" Vincent complimented nervously, "You're amazing!"
"It's written in that notebook," Milan sighed and shook her head with disappointment on her face, "Many people in this village live on human trafficking, and everyone who is sold is written down in detail in that notebook, and Carl Jr. is the last." ”
"I also want to be called Vinson Jr. Vincent muttered especially quietly.
Alfer coughed lightly and tugged at Vinson's sleeve to give him a wink, signaling that Headmaster Krent was not far from them. He didn't want to laugh at Vincent now, he just felt a little sorry for his friend, and when he saw that Ms. Milan didn't even know where to put her hand, and her mouth was full of inappropriate words.
No wonder Vincent cares about Ms. Milan, although Alver has little knowledge, but just based on the books he has read, he can conclude that every movement of Milan can be called charming and elegant, and the voice is also sweet, and there is a hint of laziness in the tail note that only mature women have, which makes people feel warm and reassuring when they listen to it. Alver felt that if Teacher Alessy's voice was the warm sunlight shining through the window on a spring afternoon, then Miss Milan's voice was a glass of honey apple juice drinking by the crackling fireplace on a winter night.
During the time that the headmaster flipped through his notes, no one spoke again, and Karl stood with his head hanging as if he were waiting for his hair to fall, but his gaze was tilted in his direction from time to time, and Lady Milan looked at the gray sky with her chest crossed.
As the minutes ticked by, Alph endured Carl's sweeping gaze and counted his pulse to pass the time.
"The curse should be more than Carl's power," Finally, Headmaster Krent spoke, "The notes record that there are people who were abused to death before they could be sold, there are also people who commit suicide, their bodies are hastily disposed of, and some people are even dismembered into sausages and sold in the recent famine, these people's resentment is stored up in the village, and Carl's feelings should resonate with them." ”
"What should I do, Mr. Headmaster...... "Miran asked, frowning, "If it is the resentment of the dead, it is usually enough to bury the body and hold a funeral, but my men and I have searched around, and there are no corpses except for the wandering horses, if they are corpses. ”
"Ahh
"What's wrong?" everyone asked Carl at the same time.
"I remembered that when I cursed, I had a wish that I would be rescued, so I left a message, but before I passed out completely, there were voices around me, saying things like 'can't let him go,' 'trap him,' and 'trap him'......
"That is, a curse within a curse?" Alver reasoned.
"Why didn't the Headmaster notice it?" Vincent was surprised, he thought there shouldn't be anything to be done with magic to hide from the Headmaster.
"It's not that the headmaster didn't notice it, but the headmaster only sensed it once when he first entered Diru Village, and we walked through the back door again, so we directly entered the second curse, and the headmaster didn't sense it twice............" Alver thought for a moment and continued to explain:" The resentment of the people who died was stimulated by Carl's emotions, and they also released the curse through Carl's curse, Carl's conditions for unraveling the curse were not so complicated, although he cursed that the people who entered after him would be trapped in the curse, but Carl left a clue to be saved, so his real intention was actually to escape, we can lift it as long as we save Carl; the lifeless corpse is actually an object, Carl cursed the complete Diru Village, which will make the cursed Diru Village overlap with the real Diru Village, Carl's curse in the village contains the corpse of the undead, and you will be able to find it if you search carefully, if you know in advance that this is a double curse, then in Karl's curse or in reality to hold a funeral for these corpses to relieve their resentment, the second curse does not exist!And the undead want to curse the village forever, they don't want Karl's curse to be lifted, they drag Carl into their own curse, on the basis of Karl's curse, curse that everything that enters the village through the back door for the second time will be trapped in the second curse, and the village of Diru in the second curse is incomplete, and there are no bones of people who died in the village...... These undead are so smart!"
Vincent complained, "Ahhh
"That's right," said Krent, "that's generally what it is. ”
