The president's emotions made Chu Yun a little puzzled, and he told the whole story. Halfway through, Anna asks the president to add details about Cassido's transformation from a human to a monster and the woman's transformation.

Nelson's mood gradually calmed down, but the look on his face seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden.

He sighed deeply and said to the two: "I'll take care of the rest, don't talk about this matter to anyone else." ”

Nelson's tone was full of helplessness, it was hard to imagine that something would make a fourth-order powerhouse like him feel embarrassed.

"President, is it the effect of the Godhead fragment?" asked Anna, puzzled.

Chu Yun didn't think so, if it was really a fragment of Godhead, Nelson wouldn't have such an expression.

Nelson shook his head and sat back in his chair, his mind seemingly going back to a long time ago.

After a long time, Nelson finally spoke again.

"Hundreds of years ago, humans first landed on the island of Rarafael, and then the kingdom of Airno began to trade with the Rarafael people. Many adventurers are intrigued by the newly discovered races and islands, so they embark on a journey. ”

"An adventurer discovered an ancient ruin in the course of his exploration, which contained a lot of information about ancient civilizations and ancient races. And he also got a magical relic. ”

"Holy Relic?" Chu Yun felt that the word was somewhat familiar.

"Yes, holy relics, some powerful beings or special equipment formed by the gods after death when their power is condensed and attached to the entity. Nelson continued, "The adventurer got a magical astrological compass. ”

"According to those documents and the revelation of the astrocompass, the adventurer has discovered an underwater city built of gold in the unknown sea northeast of the island of Rarafael!"

The adventurer returned to Ralrafael Island with a whole shipload of gold coins, hoping to use the funds to build a larger fleet and hire more people to continue their expedition to the underwater city. ”

However, not long after he returned to the island of La Rafael, he noticed something strange in his body. With that, Nelson gestured to the squid head on the table.

"He had tentacles growing on his face, and he had to soak in seawater to maintain his human form, and as it deteriorated until it didn't help to keep soaking in water, eventually his head turned into a squid and people began to go crazy. ”

Anna remembered the woman and interjected, "President, what happened to the people who turned into squid monsters?

Nelson shook his head: "According to records, squid people do turn into seawater after death, but under normal circumstances, they can keep the squid people alive for a long time. The woman you're talking about is a squid man who has changed in an irregular way, and will die soon after the death of the Blood Master. ”

"The blood transmission of the Squid People is somewhat similar to that of the Blood Clan, but fortunately, the Squid People have obvious characteristics, so those infected by the adventurers are quickly controlled by the Larrafil and destroyed humanely. ”

"But what's even more terrifying is that some of those who have come into contact with or even are only close to the holder of [Cursed Gold] have gradually changed over the course of the next few months. ”

Chu Yun frowned: "These people have all become squid people?"

"No, cursed gold seems to be selective. Some people are not affected, and some people even benefit from it. ”

Without waiting for Chu Yun to ask, Nelson continued: "Although this gold coin is named Cursed Gold Coin, in fact, just like the two sides of the gold coin, the Cursed Gold Coin only magnifies the desires of human hearts to a certain extent and transforms them into substantial power. ”

"Those who are greedy and full of lust and depravity will become squid people who have lost their minds, and those who have strong desires can sometimes even bring benefits if they are only like the desire of the weak to become stronger. ”

"Some humans have become stronger because of this, and some subhumans and monsters have even evolved their bloodlines because of this!"

It is precisely because of this divergence that many people are reluctant to destroy the Cursed Gold. Some cursed gold coins are melted down and recast into crafts, while others are minted as currency disguises for various countries. ”

"Since then, every year on the continent there have been people who have benefited and suffered, and unfortunately most of them have become squid monsters. ”

"It's hard to collect Cursed Gold, and Cursed Gold doesn't have to be accessible, even if it's only a period of contact with the gold holder. ”

"Fortunately, the goddess of life has given the priest a divine skill, and as long as the corresponding divine magic is released, the cursed gold coin can be detected. ”

"Cursed gold coins are taboo in major churches and countries, and priests are asked to assist in the detection of gold coins, and the number of cursed gold coins decreases year by year with the seizure, but there are still a few in circulation around the world. ”

"Now the effectiveness of these cursed gold coins has been reduced a lot, and it is said that at the most terrible time, a gold coin can affect more than ten people every day, and in this era, it may take ten days to curse one person. Moreover, most of the time after the curse is issued, it has no effect, and it may take more than half a year to really affect a person, so it is difficult to screen out. ”

After listening to the old news from Nelson's mouth, Chu Yun was still a little puzzled: "President, you seem to be a little angry when you look at it just now?"

The leader was silent for a moment, then pulled a picture frame from his space gear.

In the frame is a young man and a woman, and the man bears a slight resemblance to the president.

"It's okay to tell you, it's old, it's Selena's parents......"

Selena's mother was cursed with the curse of the Cursed Gold Coins, and the process of turning into a Squid Man was relatively slow due to the fact that it was not very deep. Cursed Gold is also a simple tool to discern a person's heart to some extent, and only people who are ugly in their hearts will become squid people, so many people have little sympathy for such people.

Selena's father didn't care about this, he wanted to save his wife, but there had been no success in hundreds of years. If you want to save her, you can only go to the mysterious golden city under the sea to find the answer.

The explorer's astrocompass and many other materials were stored in the headquarters of the Mage Guild in the Elno Kingdom, and Nelson and his wife were at odds with Selena's father's decision.

Nelson didn't want his son to take risks for a wicked man, but his wife didn't, believing that her daughter-in-law also supported her son's idea, and even wanted to go on an expedition with him to find answers to the puzzle.

Selena's father obtained the astrological compass with the help of Nelson's wife and set out on his own journey, but unfortunately he never returned.

Selena's mother was frozen by Nelson's wife using high-level magic, and she still waits for her son's return.
