Chapter 280 An Unexpected Discovery
"Click......"
Ron felt something choke his neck, and blood-like handprints appeared on his yellow skin, lifting him from the ground.
He slashed at the air in front of him with his scimitar, but he didn't find anything, his foot kicked in the air, and the scimitar fell from his hand to the ground.
"It's too late......"
Miles closed his eyes, unable to bear to look at what happened next.
"Master, this is it!"
The little Lori in black flew in through the wall and reported in her mind:
"Ron is dying!"
"- Pale Flash!"
A strong light came in and out, like sunlight suddenly shining into the stone room.
The strength on his neck relaxed for a moment, but Ron's consciousness was still blurred, and at this time, a figure rushed in from the outside, stretched out a hand and slapped it on the altar that emitted purple-black fluctuations.
A slight popping sound sounded on the stone platform, and all the light fell silent, and the stone chamber suddenly became dark.
"Ahem......"
Ron fell to the ground, clutching his neck, and coughing loudly on his stomach.
"It's okay, it's magic."
The visitor breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she turned and walked over to Ron, looking down at his neck.
"This thing doesn't have mana fluctuations, but rather a very vicious curse, and my constitution has no effect on it."
The person who came said to the little Lori in black:
"That's right...... Give me the mirror of truth. ”
"Here, master."
The little Lori in black took out a diamond-shaped lens and held it with both hands.
"This thing still looks so weird, it's better not to stare at it."
The person who came was naturally Xia, and I saw her muttering a sentence and shining the mirror on the blood-colored handprint.
There was a change in the gray mirror.
You can see a white hand on Ron's neck, this hand is gradually fading, but the evil thoughts contained on it are still very strong, noticing that someone is looking at it, an eye suddenly opens on the hand, turns a few times, and finally stares at the mirror of truth.
Then she heard a terrible scream, and the eye and hand twisted together, swirling like a puff of smoke and being sucked into the mirror.
"Hey, this thing can absorb curses?"
Because Wendy had solemnly warned against using this mirror lightly, she rarely took this thing out, but she didn't expect to discover its new features today.
"This thing is of very high quality, master, if it weren't for the demon cat that surrendered to you, the vampire Wendy would have snatched it."
The little Lori in black looked at the mirror and said, she is not afraid of this mirror.
"There's something weird about Miles too." Xia took the Mirror of Truth and took a look around, and found that there was a shadow on the top of the old village chief's head wriggling.
When the mirror of truth was reflected in its main body, the shadow trembled violently, and finally exploded like a firecracker, splitting into countless tiny black dots, all of which were sucked in like a mirror vacuum cleaner of truth.
Miles felt a coolness in his mind, and looked at the person in front of him in a daze, not knowing what had just happened.
It was as if the haze that had been hanging over my heart for many years had suddenly dissipated, and although my arms and legs still ached, this wonderful feeling made people's hearts extremely uplifted, as if they had broken through some kind of indestructible cage and completely restored their free body.
"Silver-haired Sister ......"
Ron recognized the man who had saved him and let out a weak voice.
"Stop talking, just lie down."
Xia walked around the stone chamber with the Mirror of Truth, and found that the young men also had the kind of shadows lurking above their heads, so he easily removed them all.
"Sister, what are you doing?"
Ron rested for a while, and couldn't help but ask when he saw her actions.
"I'm helping these people lift the curse."
Xia Shunkou replied:
"They have something like a death spell on their heads, and they will die instantly if a certain condition is triggered...... What, don't you want me to save them? ”
As soon as she turned around, she saw Ron and Old Man Miles looking at her with an indescribable gaze, and asked subconsciously.
"Sister...... You say...... What the? ”
Ron's voice trembled:
"You say...... You lifted the ...... Their...... Curse? ”
"That's it, it's easy for me."
Xia crossed his waist with a hint of pride:
"You were also attacked by the curse just now, and the same is true of Village Chief Miles, but don't worry, I've got rid of it for you."
"Are you...... The Magister? ”
Miles felt like he couldn't speak:
"What you just said...... It's all ...... It's true? ”
"What are you lying about?"
Xia was unhappy to:
"It's just a gesture for me, why, are any of you still cursed? Anyway, I'll stay in your village for a while, so I'll be kind enough to help you untie it all up. ”
"Plop-"
A huge sense of happiness hit, and the old village chief finally couldn't stand the strong stimulation one after another, and fell to the ground and fell unconscious.
"Grandpa-grandpa-woo-woo......"
His hapless grandson, who had been held hostage twice for no apparent reason, shook his body and began to cry.
"Stephanie, did they react a little bigger?"
Xia asked suspiciously.
"I don't know what's going on, master."
The little Lori in black bit her finger and said:
"Because the whereabouts of the treasure are only known to Old Man Miles, I originally wanted to hear him tell the secret, but then I found out that his life was in danger and went back to you, and I didn't see anything after that."
"Danger to life?"
Natsu was startled and hurriedly ran over to try his heartbeat, only to find that he was just a little weak.
"The leg bone was broken, and the arm was broken, but the old man actually gritted his teeth and held on."
She swept the other's hands and legs:
"But don't look at his age, his body is very strong, and he can't die."
Then she saw Ron get up from the ground, and asked him:
"What the hell just happened? You and Miles were shocked, and it looked like you already knew about the curse? ”
"It's a bit complicated."
Ron looked at her with mixed eyes:
"Let's wait for Village Chief Miles to wake up, and let him tell you in person...... Sister, I may have a very important matter for you in the future, please be sure to do me a favor when the time comes! ”
"Didn't I already promise to teach you swordsmanship, it's not a matter of a day or two to learn magic, so let's go to the big city to learn it when I earn money."
Xia thought that he wanted to pester himself as before, how could she have that kind of time.
"Not this thing."
Ron looked at Miles on the ground, and seemed to have made up his mind:
"You don't know what you mean...... But soon you'll find out. ”
……
"Next!"
Ron stood by the door, pointed to a man with a swagger, and said:
"I think you're pretty pleasing to the eye, go in first."
"Ron, what are you stinking?"
A young man at the back of the line called:
"It's not that you can get rid of the curse, we're going to see that magician sister!"
"That's it." A group of young people coaxed:
"Ron, eat!"
"I'll rub!"
Ron walked over and pulled out a couple of hecklers, one of whom punched him in the stomach and hugged his shoulders as they rolled on the ground:
"Sue you, the magician sister has promised to teach me swordsmanship, and I am now her number one disciple! Naturally, I have to guard the gate for her......"
"You fart!"
Someone shouted from behind:
"How can a magician teach you swordsmanship......"
Hearing the shouting outside the door, Xia shook his head, took the mirror of truth and shone it on the head of the person who came in for a while, and after the person walked out with a thousand thanks, he reached out and slapped the table "bang":
"Quiet!"
As soon as her voice came out, there was silence outside.
Ron hurried back to the door, cleared his throat, and pointed to a villager with whom he had a good relationship:
"Next!"
This time, even if they knew that he was deliberate, those people didn't dare to say anything, after all, after hearing the truth from Village Chief Miles, no one wanted to offend the magician who could remove the curse.
"How many villagers are there in this village, have you counted?"
While using the Mirror of Truth to save people, Xia asked the little Lori in black in his mind.
"A total of 437 villagers, master."
The little Lori in black quickly replied:
"I've counted carefully, and if Old Man Miles said that no one was going out was true, there would certainly be nothing wrong."
"If one person counts it as 30 seconds, that's ......"
Xia counted the numbers and felt a little dizzy.
After finally removing the curse for all the villagers, the old village chief Miles appeared wrapped in bandages.
Two young men carried him in from the outside on a stretcher, and the village could not afford to buy a wheelchair, and his arm was broken, so he had to move with this thing.
"Miss Magician, I don't know how to thank you."
Miles couldn't bow, so he struggled to sit up on the stretcher and bowed his head deeply:
"Thank you for lifting our thousand-year-old curse and for saving my grandson's lives...... Thank you for saving little Ron, if it weren't for you, not only everyone in the village would have been bound like this for generations, but the three of us would have been unlucky. ”
Unlike the last time he took the box back, this time Xia could feel his sincere sincerity, so he sat there and nodded, which was regarded as accepting his thanks.
"Close the door, and you go out! Let Ron guard the door outside, and no one will be allowed to enter. ”
Miles told the two young men to put themselves down, and then gave them orders.
After Ron's voice sounded outside, Miles took out a piece of paper from his body and said solemnly:
"This is the secret that this village has guarded for thousands of years, and it is also the source of the curse that has bound us for thousands of years...... Now I'll give it to you. ”
He put the paper on the table under the expectant gaze of Natsu and the little Lori in black.
"There's also a word of advice, if you do want to go, be careful! Be careful! ”
Miles' voice was very low:
"The reason why the Ancient Road was later called the Road of Finality is because it has become unpredictable now, not only are there countless traps and monsters in it, but occasionally unpredictable spatial cracks suddenly appear, and I think you should know very well the horror of that crack."
"In addition, there are records that traces of giants have been found in it, and the mage who returned from the Path of the End hundreds of years ago was called Lordingham, a powerful mage, but even when he came out, he was scarred, and it was thanks to that miraculous leaf that he survived."
He looked at Xia and said:
"I say this to let you know that although you are strong now, perhaps stronger than the Magister; But it was definitely not as good as the Dharma Saint who was already standing at the peak of the continent. So even if I give you the key to open it, I ask you to think carefully...... Whether to use it now. ”R1152
