In a somewhat dimly lit bedroom, an old man with long hair sat cross-legged.

At this time, his wrinkled face was twisting wildly, as if he was suffering great pain.

Suddenly, there was a snort.

A mouthful of blood spat out of the long-haired old man's mouth.

Heckles opened his eyes, glared angrily, and cried out through gritted teeth, "Gray! ”

He knew he had failed again.

Since coming to this town a month ago, he has decided to make this town his turnaround and complete his progress in this place.

So, he found more than ten children under the age of ten in the town who had been selected after observation and cast a "black cloud curse" on them.

The spell of the "Black Cloud Curse" was given to him at great cost months ago, praying to the god of shadows.

Mostly children under the age of 10, the "Black Cloud Curse" will slowly absorb their life, as short as 7 steam days, as long as 14 steam days, when the black cloud has sucked their life source clean, as long as he comes to within 10 meters of the black cloud, he can take back these black clouds that have sucked the source of life.

Since the fundamental power of the "Black Cloud Curse" is the same source as him, he can easily convert those life origins in the black cloud into pure dark energy, which can be used to quickly improve his strength.

It was all going well, and Heckles managed to curse those targets without attracting much attention.

But just a few days before his success, in the most inconspicuous and dilapidated church in town, only this young priest who was extremely immature in his teens actually ruined his business.

Not only did he discover his curse, but he also broke all of his curses.

Originally, after his curse was broken, his first thought was to escape from the town first, and then find a remote town again as a goal.

As he got to know the chapel and the priest named Gray, he quietly changed his mind and thoughts. Decided to lurk first.

Church of Light, God of Light, God-given pastor.

This is the main message that Heckles has received in the past few weeks.

Heckles believed in the existence of gods.

For just a few decades ago, when darkness covered the land, he faintly heard the murmur of a god called the god of shadows.

It is precisely because of this that he became a dark energy with great abilities, and got rid of the idle life of the first half of his life.

But although he believed that there were gods in this world, he did not believe that there would be a second god besides the god of shadows.

In all the thousands of years of recordable history, the Vapor Continent has never had an exact description of the gods, except for the one time when the God of Shadows was decades ago.

What's more, in the small church in this remote town, the so-called god of light suddenly appeared?

Heckless didn't believe in the God-given priest, and he already had a vague guess in his mind as to why the priest Gray had such powerful healing powers.

That Grey priest must have also made an extremely valuable tribute to the god of shadows, and received an even more powerful reward.

And the reason why Heckles continued to stay in this town was to get the reward of the God of Shadows from Pastor Gray.

Of course, the reason why he dared to do this was also based on the confidence he gained from the data collected by Gu Fan these days.

The Reverend Gray had only demonstrated healing abilities throughout, but had never seen him attack or kill him, never seen it.

Therefore, Heckles is now seventy percent sure that the other party has no ability to attack in the reward he is given.

At the same time, in order to verify the magnitude of Gu Fan's ability, he placed an even more difficult curse on a man in the town a few days ago, "Sleeping Curse", although he only has the ability to make people unconscious, but due to the complexity of this curse, even he, the curse person, wants to break it, it is extremely difficult.

But who would have thought that this curse was still broken by the other party in a short period of time.

But this time, Hecklessness didn't gain anything.

He knew that this powerful healing power also possessed a great drain, and the pale look on the other party's face was proof of it just now before his curse dissipated.

From this, he already had an idea.

"Mr. Carlisle, the meal is ready!"

A knock on Chen's door rang out from outside the door.

"Okay, I'll come out right away."

Heckles' face changed quickly, and then he said in a steady tone.

He got up and cleaned the blood from his mouth and on the floor, then opened the window again.

Through the window, you can faintly see children playing in the distance.

The sunlight from outside shone in, but Heckles was dressed in a simple and neat robe, with his long gray hair and a peaceful expression on his face, faintly like a knowledgeable old man.

Heckles opened the door and was greeted by a woman in her forties.

"Lord Carlisle, see if today's meal is to your liking, and if you're not satisfied, I can make another one for you."

Heckless looked at the food on the table with a faint disgust, but a gentle smile appeared on his face, and said: "Thank you, these dishes, just looking at them will make you appetizing, I believe that my mood today will become happy with these delicious meals." ”

Carlisle, a pseudonym for Heckles, is an outsider who portrays himself as a harmless scholar and plays the role of a helpless old man.

Although he was not satisfied with the living conditions here or the food cooked by the woman in front of him.

But in order to ensure that this identity is not suspected, he can only endure it.

He believed that what he had endured now would be rewarded handsomely.

"Thank you, Lord Carlisle, for the compliment." The woman bowed in some flattery.

Then he looked at the gray-haired old man in front of him with glowing eyes.

She knew that Master Carlyle was a well-known scholar from the capital, possessing profound knowledge and good cultivation.

According to Master Carlyle, I came to live in this town temporarily to find material for my later writing.

As an ordinary woman, she has the opportunity to serve Lord Carlisle, which can be said to be the honor of her life.

Not only can he gain a lot of money, but he can also talk to such a great scholar, which has already aroused the envy of his relatives and friends.

"As a scholar in the capital, Lord Carlisle not only treats people gently, but also does not have the slightest contempt and dissatisfaction with ordinary civilians like himself, and he really deserves to be a scholar from the university!"

The woman said secretly in her heart.
