Waking up in the morning, the first sight of Signa carefully looking down from the top bunk made Surdak feel that he really deserved to own a big castle-like house.

Otherwise, every time he lies down with Selena, when he wakes up, there is always a little guy who disturbs the situation, which makes Surdak feel a little embarrassed.

And every time Xigna saw those horrible scars on her body, she always had a look of horror.

Surdak's memory of the origin of these scars is somewhat blurry, and only a few fragmentary images can be seen in his memory: he is struggling in a sea of fire, beyond which a magician riding a magic handle chases another magician with a child, and each time the picture stops here, and then there is a deep sting in his heart.

The black tattoo of the goddess Celine on Selena's back doesn't always show up.

For example, now, her back is white and smooth, lying beside her to show a soft curve.

Surdak told her about Selena's changes, and Selena was like a lazy cat curled up in his arms, whispering: "The goddess does not come down all the time to lean over, and when the goddess is not there, of course there will be no tattoos on the back......"

"Can it still be like this?" Surdak said with some surprise that he didn't expect the magic pattern on her body to be hidden.

Selena and Signa nodded affirmatively at the same time, looking at the mother and daughter's determined looks, Surdak was completely convinced, and with a topic to talk about, at least it would not make the atmosphere too embarrassing, so Surdak said to Selena: "When the Dark Goddess comes, does it give you any abilities?" ”

Probably with this level of intimacy, Selena blinked her eyes and said, "Actually, it's a very weak ability, and it's nothing to say it, it's like a verbal curse......"

"Language curses?" Surdak repeated a sentence in his mouth.

It reminded him of his own death, wasn't that a curse of language? Remembering the power of the Dead Murmur, it seems that he can kill the enemy on the battlefield in an instant, but he still hasn't figured out how to use the Dead Murmur.

Selena propped up her upper body from the rudimentary plank bed and smiled at Surdak, "It's almost, but it's useless...... Do you want to feel it? ”

Surdak didn't expect Selena to have such a proposal, and asked again with certainty: "Me? Are you ready to cast that curse on me? ”

Selena nodded and said, "It's okay, anyway, just feel it, it won't cause much damage, sometimes when Signa makes a mistake, I will cast that curse on her, but it's useless now, she's more proficient than me now......"

Hearing Selena say this, Surdak was even more curious about what kind of spell it was, but he grasped another point in Selena's words, "Are you saying that Signa also has that kind of language curse, and is also a believer in the Dark Goddess?" ”

Selena stared at Surdak with a strange look, as if to say: Is there something wrong with this?

"Well, what I'm trying to say is what exactly to believe...... It's up to Selena to choose. Surdak felt that he should establish a better faith in Xigna from an early age, after all, almost all the people of the empire believe in the goddess of liberty, and the goddess of darkness has any living soil in the Grimm Empire...... If you don't like Lady Liberty, it's better to believe in the god of magic or the lord of the elements, such as Paglio, the god of fire, and Eva, the god of water, than Celine, the goddess of darkness.

"That's her choice." Selena glanced at Signa, who was hiding in the top bunk, and said to Surdak.

Surdak could only sigh in his heart, wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it, after all, it is difficult to say whether faith is right or wrong.

Selena put on a nightgown, then half-knelt on the bed, folded her hands in front of her chest, and prayed to the goddess of darkness reverently, this time Surdak did not open the eyes of truth, and could not see what kind of changes were around Selena, only felt that the portrait of the goddess with one hand raised in the well appeared behind her again, and then Selena's closed eyes opened suddenly, and her light green pupils became pitch black as ink, and her mouth only spat out a short syllable:

pain

Selena stared at Surdak's left hand, Surdak only felt that his left hand seemed to have been hit by a blunt object, and a pain came from the gap between the joints, but his hand did not change at all, he tried to clench his fist and stretch, but there was no inconvenience, the only thing was that there was a tolerable pain in his hand.

"This is your language curse?" Surdak asked, somewhat stunned.

"Well, it's said to be a kind of secret word." Selena nodded and replied.

It seems that it is really as Selena said, only the role of punishment, it is really useless in a real battle, Surdak looked at Selena who was a little depressed, his heart softened, and comforted her: "Actually, there is still a little effect, at least it can make people unable to concentrate on something." ”

"But that's all, isn't it?" Selena squeezed out a reluctant smile, she knelt on the bed and pulled her long chestnut hair behind her head with both hands, tied it into a ponytail, and a youthful breath came to her face, feeling that the whole person was five or six years younger all of a sudden.

"This spell is indeed a little weaker." Surdak said truthfully.

"That's not a little, after all, I said the goddess of darkness." Selena got out of bed and started getting ready for the morning, then said.

"Or maybe as you said, the Goddess of Darkness has forgotten you in this corner." Surdak said.

Selena crouched by the fireplace, preparing to light a fire, and casually said, "Okay, I'll admit it." ”

……

After the harvest festival, the village quickly recovered from the festive atmosphere, most of the villagers had already finished harvesting the wheat, and there were few wheat stacks left in the grain field.

The men of Vol Village began to prepare to rush to the sulfur mine in Pubao Mountain, this time they had the experience of living in Pubao Mountain, and knew what materials should be brought more and what materials should not be used at all.

For example, the Water Gathering Scroll is indispensable, there is no water source around Puss Mountain, everyone's drinking water problem is completely dependent on the Water Gathering Scroll, the three Water Gathering Scrolls that Surdak carried with him have been used up, and the villagers now only have the last one in their hands, this kind of life magic scroll can only be bought in the magic shop in Highlandsa City.

There are also twenty-two pairs of long leather boots and cotton masks prepared by Surdak have played a very role, in the environment of Pubao Mountain, the rock ground in many places is hot, and some rock formations are flowing with magma, wearing this kind of long leather boots can prevent their feet from being burned, the young people in the second echelon did not wear long leather boots, this time in Pubao Mountain, several young people's feet were burned to varying degrees.

The old village chief asked Surdak to bring a batch of sulfur to the city of Highlandza, and after selling it, he could exchange it for some water-gathering scrolls, and customize some thick-soled leather boots and pickaxes, which still needed to be prepared.
