Chapter 13: Infants

Chen Xuyuan also looked up at the sea of clouds dyed red with some feeling: Where will I go next?

I've been in this world for a few years.

He himself thought about choosing a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and lived some leisurely days watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court, and watching the clouds rolling in the sky.

But there is no place where I can have a sense of belonging, perhaps it is this faint estrangement and strangeness from different civilizations that keeps me motivated to learn and change~~

......

When he returned to the mansion in the outer city and was about to get the money, Eddie asked in surprise, "Teacher, do you really plan to spend nearly 10,000 gold coins to learn the ability of that [Flame Incarnation]?! That's almost half of your previous savings. ”

Chen Xuyuan shook his head and said, "Do you really think that I just learned a unique spell? That's it, I'll make it clear to you this time, don't go out and talk nonsense!"

Seeing that Eddie nodded his head again and again, he continued to explain: "On the surface, I am only learning a [Flame Incarnation] ability, but in fact, I have learned the relevant mechanism of action of this set of spells. If you think about the Earth Element, the Frost Element, and the Air Elemental Incarnation, aren't the principles of these elemental changes very close?"

"Moreover, my fundamental purpose is to learn from Hamlet - the systematic knowledge of the transformation between elemental energy and flesh entities! Understand the composition mechanism of non-flesh and blood lifeforms, and then understand the magic energy and life operation mechanism of the entire universe. β€œ

He finally concluded: "There are many competing interests and grievances in human society. If you are reluctant to pay this money now and want to be a miser, you are afraid that you will be killed in the future, and you will still be cheaper than others!"

Eddie said secretly: What I care about is not how you spend your money, but what you seem to have forgotten to promise.

He looked around, and it seemed that only the middle-aged maid of the villa in the distance was at home, standing in the doorway, talking to a woman who was three or four points similar to her.

He asked in a low voice, "What about the important thing you promised me last time?"

Chen Xuyuan was about to reply, when he suddenly felt a strange sweet smell that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

Hearing Eddie's question, he immediately knew what he wanted to say, so he casually agreed: "Oh, you said that~ I happen to be free, and you will come to the laboratory with me in the afternoon." ”

Grand Wizard Chen turned his head to investigate, and immediately noticed the baby that the plainly dressed woman, who was no more than thirty years old, was carrying.

So, he pretended to be casual and walked around them.

The woman immediately put on a smile and bowed in greeting, "You are the Great Wizard Chen Xuyuan, I am very honored to meet you." This time, I brought my daughter to visit my sister, and I didn't expect to be honored to meet you. ”

Between the words, she is like a woman in the market, polite and skillful.

Chen Xuyuan nodded, then looked past her and looked behind her - the baby girl with an ominous breath, she had a big nose, big eyes, a wide mouth, a withered yellow and thin skin, and her skin was wrinkled as if she was severely malnourished, like a green-skinned goblin in "Fairy Tale".

What's even more weird is that there is a little bloodshot red light in her pupils, as if there is anger entrenched in the depths of her mind.

Observing from the [Soul Vision], a burst of dark blood-colored mist energy appeared outside its body, and it was like a living thing constantly opening its teeth and dancing its claws.

The woman carrying the baby also had a lot of blood mist on her body, even a little more concentrated, but it was spiritual, and it seemed to be dissipating all the time.

So he pointed to the baby girl's exit and asked, "Is her health not very good, can you show it to me?"

The middle-aged maid's sister hesitated for a moment, and suddenly whispered with a difficult face: "We don't have much money to pay you." Can you ~~Can you~~"

Chen Xuyuan asked out loud: "It's free, no problem." Let me take a look first. ”

The women of the market immediately showed joy on their faces, but the care for the baby diluted the philistine spirit on the pointed and thin face.

As soon as Chen Xuyuan picked up the baby girl, he immediately noticed that there was a restless strange energy in her body, which seemed to be transmitted along their contact like a living thing.

Even the mana shield on his body only slowed down the process slightly.

He immediately stroked the top of his head with one hand, and carefully pushed his true power through the halo door, from both sides of his brain like a fishing net, enveloping his muscles and viscera, and penetrating through the spring points on the soles of his feet.

Suddenly, this energy is very strange!

At first, it should have come from an external evil force, but now it is attached to the baby's spiritual power, and with the fluctuation of the brain's emotions, it has entered the extreme depths of the mind, but a second probe seems to imply other cursed powers!

Such a strange situation suddenly made his brows furrow.

So he used his mana to cast various detection spells together, carefully observing the operation of various kinds of evil qi.

It took him a long time to see something famousβ€”the appearance was actually just a minor problem, and the curse that seemed to exist was the master!

Originally, those manic and physical weakness were not serious, but the baby's mental resistance itself was very fragile, and the power of the curse was directly attached to her spiritual power, invading the functional mechanism of the brain center, guiding the blood-colored evil qi to slowly spread to the depths of the soul.

Chen Xuyuan raised his head and asked, "I can cure this child, but I have to ask a question first, and you must answer truthfully, otherwise I won't save him." ”

As soon as the woman heard that she could cure the child, she immediately waved her hands and nodded her head again and again: "I must answer truthfully, there is absolutely no half-truth!"

Chen Xuyuan saw that there was no one around, so he asked in a low voice: "Have you ever offended any ruthless enemies? Or have you ever seen something weird? Otherwise, how can this child have the power of a curse!"

The middle-aged woman was shocked and inexplicable, as if she remembered something, but immediately argued: "We are all ordinary people, where have we offended anyone? Please treat this miserable child first, she has been suffering from diseases since the day she was born, and now I don't know what to do." ”

As she spoke, she burst into tears.

But Chen Xuyuan muttered: "So, could it be that there is something wrong with the place where you live, such as something bad or something happened?"

The woman hurriedly shook her hands, and with a hint of trepidation in her tone, she vetoed, "No, no." ”

Her voice was obviously a little trembling, and Chen Xuyuan saw that some horror flashed in the depths of her eyes, but he was just trying his best to hide it.

Chen Xuyuan secretly thought to himself that this person was not telling the truth, so he said: "If you don't tell the truth, I won't heal your child." And even if it is cured temporarily, if the root cause problem cannot be solved, sooner or later it will be cursed. ”
