Chapter 148: Dawn
However, what makes Caris more depressed is that although these things have been killed by herself many times, they have not exploded such things as souls, which means that her soul eater has not scavenged any attribute points from this group of poor ghosts, and after tossing for half a night, this mechanical monster killing has already made her feel a little powerless.
After cutting for half a night, Grace finally couldn't stand this boring monster killing behavior, and it was very painful that these undead were really immortal, and if you didn't kill it, it would have to disgust you.
"Ah, I'm so tired, change shifts~" Caris swept away three ash skeletons with a single sword, and then jumped out of the pile of corpse bone powder.
"It's up to you, Minor, go ahead."
Caris clenched the somewhat confused Mi Noel, and then threw her out with a single force.
"!! Mi Noel was obviously frightened, and waved his little paws in a little panic: "Wow, ah, ah! ”
"Let's go, use imitation!"
Caris shouted.
"Oh yes!" Mi Noor, who had been thrown out, woke up like a dream, and he didn't care that he was still spinning in the air... She was still in the mood to slam her palm with her small fist, and then, a dazzling white light lit up on her body, and with a bang, a puff of smoke drifted by, and another Grace stood in the center of the strange pile with a giant sword.
"Very good, change shift~"
Minole turned into Caris as if even her personality had become Carris's original, revealing a smile that made everyone present and even Caris herself feel very familiar, and then brandished the sword of gluttony and began to slash, sure enough, it was Minot, even if it usually looks a little cute, it is still quite useful at critical moments.
……
So, just like that, the enthusiastic Mi Noel took over the work of Carris in the second half of the night, and everyone. After feeling that there was no threat, they all went to rest, well, except for Caris, an alternative who can never sleep.
Until the moment when the dawn of dawn pierces through the darkness.
It's strange to say. As soon as the light of the sun shone on the corpse powder and bone meal, the powder let out a terrible and miserable howl, turning into bursts of black smoke and disappearing, which came suddenly and left so suddenly, without warning.
"Huh?"
The giant sword mirrored by Caris here swung into the air, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then I found out that all the powder had disappeared due to the sun's irradiation, and I was angry as if I hadn't played enough: "I haven't contributed yet, and you've fallen~"
"Hey, you're still learning from me..."
Here Grace stood up from the corner of the wall and walked over slowly while complaining.
"That's, this is a perfect copy, even my sister's character has been copied." Carris, who had changed from Mi Noor, said proudly.
"Alright, alright. Come back, I'm not interested in having another version of myself. ”
Caris waved her hand helplessly.
"Oh, good." Mirror nodded. Then there was a bang, and the whole person shattered into countless pieces.
At the same time, a little guy pounced on Caris from the debris.
"Sister~ These guys are so fun, they are so durable, no matter how you play, you can't play bad~"
As soon as Mi Noel changed back, he immediately changed back to his original character, jumped on Caris's shoulder, and then said happily, his whole little face was full of excitement.
"Really, I said you were a little quiet. Don't wake them all up. Grace rubbed her forehead helplessly, she didn't understand, how could Mi Noer's small body, which was not as big as a palm, make a voice ten times louder than the previous slashing monster, I don't understand, I really don't understand......
"It's okay. It's already dawn, they should have woken up, they're telling them to get up. ”
Mi Noel said unconcernedly.
And similar to what Carris said, as soon as Minor's voice fell, the door of the thatched hut over there was creaked open, and the sleepy-eyed Caroline walked out with a slightly obvious dark circle, probably seeing that there were no undead around, so she asked, "Carris, is it over?" ”
"Well, yes, not completely killed, though."
Caris nodded, and Mi Noel, who was sitting on her shoulder, also invited credit: "There are still people, and people have also helped~!" ”
"Minore is the cutest~"
Caroline seemed to be very resistant to this cute gadget, and reached out to grab Minol, sticking to her cheek and rubbing it around, but it seemed that Minol was also quite enjoyable, and she actually squinted her eyes and made a "coo~" sound in her throat, so Caris didn't stop it.
"Carolyn, it looks like you didn't sleep well last night, you have dark circles under your eyes." Caroline also noticed the change, so she pointed it out.
"Huh?"
Caroline tilted her head and thought for a while, then nodded: "I didn't sleep much last night, I have been feeling the breath in the house, and I also asked Mr. Rich about this." ”
"Well, then you can tell me, and I'll make something to eat now."
Carris touched her chin and said to Caroline as she began to make some breakfast.
"yes, okay."
Caroline nodded, and then said slowly: "I felt these dried corpses last night, to be precise, they don't seem to be undead, because I can't feel the soul fire in their bodies at all, if I don't guess wrong, these undead-like dried corpses should be more like they were manipulated or controlled by something, so they will come to attack the other people in this village in such an organized way." ”
"Well, yes, this thing doesn't have a soul at all."
Caris was tearing the jerky and mushrooms with her hands as she set up the pot, and it was very dry here, so it was easy to cut a few branches and burn them easily.
"Their souls did not go to the underworld, nor did they become undead, but they dissipated at the time of death." Caroline sat down on a stone next to Carris and continued, "This... Well, dry corpse, I already felt it yesterday, and in fact this curse has already damaged the souls of these villagers while they are still alive... Or to put it another way, this decaying and depleting power does not act on the body alone, but also withers and dissipates along with their souls. ”
"Oh?"
Caris raised her eyebrows: "Then what do you say is the thing that manipulates these dried corpses and skeletons, can we directly find a way to solve it for him?" ”
"I don't know, maybe it's the resentment of the curse itself, or maybe it's some powerful artifact, or even some secret existence that we don't know, is silently manipulating all this."
Caroline shook her head, then proposed, "But we can go and check the place where the orcs are buried, maybe there will be some windfall, maybe the root of this curse is there." ”
"Yes, good idea, it's pretty much the same thing as I thought."
Carris nodded, then sprinkled some seasoning into the pot and tasted it: "Wait a minute, the two of us will go and ask where the villager orcs are buried, and then we will take a look." ”
"Well, but it should be the place where the curse is at its strongest, so be careful."
Caroline nodded, then said.
"Don't worry, if it doesn't work, I'll make a triple forbidden spell... Ah no, counting the teacher's words, it's fourfold, guaranteed to create a big cleaning effect, not to mention the curse, I'll blow you up a sinkhole. Carolin still didn't take Caroline's words too seriously, there was no way, after all, her level had risen too quickly, making her seem to have the illusion of being invincible in the world.
What should I do if I have a problem?
With forbidden spells.
What should I do if I can't solve it?
Then use more forbidden spells.
……
Although there were no other ingredients nearby, Carris didn't bother to make a hearty breakfast, and this time it was not only a few people who could eat, but also a bunch of cursed villagers, after having sufficient water, they didn't become mummies again, so they also had to eat, and because of the face of their teacher Clare, he was embarrassed not to make it for them, so he took it with him, and simply fooled around.
If you can't help it, take Caroline and Xiaomi Noel to the mirror world to open a small stove......
Carris thought silently as she cooked the dried meat and mushroom street wild vegetable soup.
Although the soup is more curious, but after all, there is also meat, so with the boiling soup, the smell began to overflow away, and the villagers who had not eaten for more than half a month were almost immediately awakened by this smell, and then, Clarie also woke up, and all slowly walked out of the house, and began to move, drinking water, looking for bowls.
"Thank you so much, Master Magician, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would have died a long time ago."
An old man with silver hair walked up to Caris on a deadwood cane, and said words of gratitude, and Caris also looked up at him, although he had become a withered old man, but he was still very energetic, and he was actually laughing happily.
"You're optimistic, and you can still laugh." Caris also laughed a little, and then looked at the old man, with a green name on the top of his head, Burke, but it seems that it should not be an old man, but a strong man or a handsome guy or something that has become like this because of aging, so Caris does not treat him as an old man, but gives him a bowl of soup and a scone, and chats casually.
