Chapter 40: An Inexplicable Curse

"This regimental commander is certainly not the one who planned the attack on us. Jessica glanced at Li Yaer deeply and explained to Sun Chenghuan: "But we have to force him to make a statement."www.biquge.info ”

"Yes, we don't know at all how many people in Astrana want Jarro to go back, how many people oppose it, and who are those who support or oppose it. You don't want to leave Onika with a black eye, do you?" said Lial, nodding beside him.

"Then you are ......"

"It's very simple! We don't know, someone knows. Jessica laughed, "Since the head of the regiment can be sent to negotiate with Merce, it means that he must be the one chosen by both factions." And in the team, there must be people from both factions. Moreover, the fact that the two factions were able to maintain that peaceful state before must have been because the two factions were in a balance of power......"

"So we're going to break their balance of power. Lear nodded, "First tell them that it's not uncommon for us to go to Astranna, and then tell them that even if we have to go, there are more options." In this way, they are forced to come up with a reliable decision as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, we can also take this opportunity to get some information, which side this neutral regiment leader will be on in the end, which means which side is superior in his judgment. Jessica nodded, "Then, we'll be able to determine what we'll need to prepare for this trip to Astrana." ”

"If they can come to the conclusion this afternoon, kill a few people, and then hand over the heads to us, then Chenghuan, you must be prepared to kill all the way to Minehir this time, and then Ketlan and I will have to go with you...... If it's just a couple of people tied up and handed over, then when Ketlan arrives, we'll have a meal together, and then Ketlan and I can go back to Nazaire together. Liar continued.

"What do you mean...... Sun Chenghuan vaguely understood, but he still asked.

"It's very simple! if it's a human head, it means that we can't interrogate, and this time, the people in their mission must have met with our people, and the news just got out. Whoever you meet with and how you deliver the news is still a mess, and if you're from Astrana, you must be in revenge if you are choked like this by a few children, right?" Jessica explained with a smile.

"Oh...... Give us the living, let us interrogate, and after the results come out, we will definitely be in chaos on our side. After all, the deputy commanders have rebelled, and this level must be not small......" Sun Chenghuan instantly understood what it meant.

"Yes, but if we give heads, it's for gagging us. Li Yar nodded and continued: "Those who were killed must hope that we can return to Astrana with Jarro, that is to say, in Astranna, those who don't want Jarro to return must have an advantage." Then ......"

"They will definitely urge us to get on the road as soon as possible, and they will say yes to whatever we ask. Jessica answered with a smile.

"And then?" asked the question, Erin, who was joining in the fun.

"That's when we're going to have to ask for a lot of money. Li Yaer nodded and said, "Drag on time." Wait until they are irritable, and the Lord and faction in Astrana have time to react, and then we will hit the road again. At this time, someone will come to protect us. ”

"If they're kidnapping people to us, then we're going to have to finish the negotiations as soon as possible, and make reasonable concessions and give a little to a little bit. Jessica nodded beside her, "Get out as soon as possible, and then, before the other faction concentrates its forces on attacking us, enter Astrana's territory." ”

"As soon as they enter the territory of Astrana, the other faction will be afraid to act rashly. Li Yar also nodded and added.

“...... You two should really go out in a group. Sun Chenghuan sighed beside him, "By the way, haven't you really discussed it before?"

"No, it'......s just natural," Lear shook his head, and then looked straight at Jessica.

Jessica also looked at Lial.

The two looked at each other.

A feeling of sympathy arose.

"Big brother, let's get out of the way......" Erin saw such a scene, quietly walked to Sun Chenghuan's side, and pulled him.

“...... Oh. Sun Chenghuan glanced at the situation in the field and nodded.

......

"Hello, my name is Chrissy and I'm Jessica's sister. ”

"Hello...... My name is Sun Chenghuan. ”

A little awkward self-introduction.

In addition to Sun Chenghuan and Erin, there was another person in the room......

When they were going to leave the space for the two of them to look at each other, naturally, they had to quit.

"That...... I'm so embarrassed to be there today......"

"Oh, I'm sorry I should ......."

Still embarrassed.

"That...... Otherwise, I'll go back to school first, and you can help me talk to my sister in a while. ”

"Hmm...... Walking. ”

"By the way, can I ask you one thing before I go?"

“...... What?"

"Did you kill Eldraine Nirub?" Chrissy asked in a very serious tone as she looked at Sun Chenghuan very seriously.

Does this little girl know something?

Sun Chenghuan's brows furrowed slightly.

Didn't Master say that only I knew about it?

Taking the lead is a big sin for all the people to be killed!

"Yes. What, is there any problem?" Sun Chenghuan could only answer with a smile.

"......" Chrissy looked at Sun Chenghuan with a straight look in her eyes.

Sun Chenghuan was uncomfortable.

But he still looked at her calmly.

"I'll go first. Hopefully we'll have the chance to meet again in the future. Chrissy suddenly came out with a little cluelessness.

“...... Well. ”

......

"Big brother, this sister seems to be interesting to you......"

“...... You ate too much at noon and didn't digest it?" Sun Chenghuan glanced at Erin, who was there with a weird smile.

"You don't know...... Erin shook her head with a look of confusion on her face, and then looked at Chrissy's back.

whispered.

"It turns out that Uncle Gilneth still has descendants......"

"What did you say?" Sun Chenghuan didn't hear clearly.

"Oh, nothing. Erin quickly shook her head. "I went back to my room and went to sleep, so you don't have to call me for dinner. ”

“...... Do you have something on your mind?" Sun Chenghuan's brows furrowed.

Skipping dinner?

This one is too much of Erin.

This girl has never been ambiguous when it comes to eating.

Don't fall a bit!

"No, no, no, I just suddenly felt sleepy, so I'll go first......"

With a smile on her face, Erin jumped away.

Only Sun Chenghuan was left in the yard, in a daze.

What happened today is too weird! Sun Chenghuan complained silently in his heart.

"Oh, Sun Chenghuan, you're here!

“...... Reese...... Uncle Degas, why are you here?"

Just when Sun Chenghuan was about to go back to the room to calm down and take care of what he encountered today, a familiar voice sounded.

"The lord of the castle said that he would like to invite you to the mansion for a private meal tonight...... Well, take Erin with you ......."

"Erin rested. ”

“...... What time is it?"

"Who knows! She just said she was going back to rest. ”

“...... Just, suddenly, wait a minute...... She used a spell on you?Is she crazy?" Reese, who was still smiling on his face, took a deep look at Sun Chenghuan, and then immediately jumped up as if he had exploded.

“...... What do you mean?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned again.

"Where's she?" Reese didn't bother to talk to Sun Chenghuan here.

“...... in her room. ”

"Take me there, right away!"

“...... Oh......" Sun Chenghuan nodded.

Although he didn't know what was going on, Reece was going to see Erin, and he didn't have any reason to refuse.

Didn't walk a few steps.

Knock.

"Who?"

Erin's voice rang out.

"Me. Reese. Reece didn't care about his Degas pseudonym.

The door opened.

"Uncle, why are you here?" said Erin with a curious look at Reese standing in the doorway.

“...... You...... Not you?"

"What I'm not me...... Oh, you say that, it's not me. Erin was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Sun Chenghuan, who was following Reese, and smiled. "Didn't you see me hiding, if it were me, I'd be carrying him to ask questions now!"

Shook his head.

"Then you don't care about him?"

"What's the matter with me? Besides, the girl has a lot of loss on himself when he uses this kind of thing, what do I care about this......

“...... Who is it? The baron's daughter?"

"No, it's a girl I've seen for the first time. ”

“...... What's the situation, this is ......" Reese was stunned for a moment.

"I don't know, uncle, you don't know, how can I know!"

“...... You two, wait a minute, can you explain to me what's going on?" Sun Chenghuan interrupted Erin and Reese's conversation.

"Oh, someone used a one-heart spell on you. Erin smiled and said to Sun Chenghuan, "That's it." ”

"I heard just now, what is this one-heart curse?" Sun Chenghuan waved at Erin.

"Let's talk about this later, the city lord invited the two of you to the mansion for dinner tonight, as if he had something to tell you. Reece waved at Sun Chenghuan.

"Oh, okay, we'll just go over in the evening. Erin nodded.

"Then I'll go first. Reece glanced at Sun Chenghuan, sighed, and shook his head.

“...... Can you explain to me what this single-minded spell is all about?" Sun Chenghuan said to Rees a little speechlessly.

"It's not a big deal, it's a girl who has put a curse on you, and if you lie to her, you'll ...... Well, there are some side effects. Reese smiled and shook his head, "You won't die anyway, the biggest side effect of this spell is that you just stay in bed for a few days." ”

“...... Lying?" Sun Chenghuan was stunned.

"Well, so if you can't get out of bed tonight, I'll go and have dinner with Uncle Reese with the city lord. Erin smiled and nodded, "I really didn't expect the Monotent Curse to be passed down......"

"By the way, who used it on him?" Reese, who was about to turn away, suddenly remembered, "You think that girl is ......"

"Isn't it uncle, that you only tell me about this curse that you know, and you only pass it on to one student?" said Erin, with a smile on her face.

"It's Gilne...... Reese also uttered a name.

It's the same as what Erin just said.

"I don't know, you have to confirm this uncle......" Erin smiled and shook her head, "You don't want to help the big brother break this spell?"

"He lied?"

"Hmm......" Erin nodded, "What a lie!"

“...... ......Reese sighed, shook his head, and with a change of hand, pulled out a small, black ball from the ring.

Pill.

"Eat. ”

“...... What is this?"

"The potion that lifts the Single-Heart Curse. Reece glanced at Sun Chenghuan, "Really, now that this medicine is to be configured, it is estimated that there are no materials, how can it be wasted on you!"

“...... Am I really under some kind of spell, right? It's not like the two of you are working together to fool me into taking some poison, right?"

Sun Chenghuan suddenly sounded an alarm in his heart.

"If you love to eat or not, if you don't eat it, I won't save you, anyway, you will lie down for a few days and you won't die. Reese flipped his hand, and the pill was gone. "Then Erin, will you come by yourself in the evening?"

"Uncle, don't toss the big brother, if he falls, I will have to serve him for the next few days. Erin looked disapprehensive and grabbed Reese's arm. "I hid in just now because I was afraid that he would suddenly fall, do you think I should hold him or ignore him?"

"Forget it. Reese sighed and threw the pill at Erin.

Erin caught it.

"Uncle, see you that night!" said Erin, smiling.

Reese shook his head at Erin and left.

"What the hell is this single-minded mantra all about?"

"It's a kind of magic that Uncle Reece studied when he was young, similar to a curse, a curse with a poisonous nature. Erin looked at Sun Chenghuan and asked herself worriedly: "Don't ask what the Gu poison is, anyway, I don't seem to have seen this kind of magic now." But seriously, do you really think I'm going to hurt you with Uncle Reese?"

"Anyone will hurt me, and I don't think you will. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "I don't dare to eat what Reese gave me, but I will eat what you give me." Are you going to give it to me?"

"Hurry up and eat, you really lied just now, and after a while, the real side effects will come, and you will be in trouble, although you will lie down for a few days at most, but if your lie is exposed, there will be big trouble." Erin hurriedly stuffed the pill in her hand into Sun Chenghuan's mouth. Sun Chenghuan's answer, she was quite satisfied.

It melts in your mouth and is sweet.

"And then, this spell is over?" Sun Chenghuan flattened his mouth, tasted it, and continued to ask.

"That's the end for you. Erin thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"For me?" Sun Chenghuan noticed the prefix, "so what else?"

"Oh, since it's a one-heart spell...... Can't you guess from the name?"

“...... What do you mean?"

"I don't know why the girl we met for the first time used this spell on you, but now that your curse here has been lifted, it means that you told her the truth, then she must be cursed. But you shouldn't see her again anyway, so it doesn't matter. Erin smiled and shook her head.

"Can you say something I understand?"

"Oh, the counter-effect of this spell is that she will be devoted to you for the rest of her life. Congratulations, a girl you met for the first time was taken down by you. ”

“...... What's with what?" Sun Chenghuan's face was ridiculous.

"This is a curse spell invented by Uncle Reese, it has nothing to do with me, you see, I've never used it on anyone. Sun Chenghuan smiled and said, "I don't think this spell has any meaning at all......

"Why?"

"If a person doesn't lie to you, then you can just believe him, and if he tells the truth, you have to be single-minded with him, and I'm afraid you've been single-minded before you use this spell, right? Why use such a spell? If a person is sure to lie to you, you can just smash it with a fireball spell, and why bother to make this curse! ”

“...... What you said seems to make a lot of sense!" Sun Chenghuan was stunned for a moment and nodded, "But it's the first time I've met her!"

"How do you know that...... Wait a minute, could she have a grudge against Eldraine? Why would she be so serious about asking you if you killed Eldraine in the first place?

"If she had a grudge against Eldraine in a place like Ornica, she would have been killed by Eldraine, right? But what kind of enmity can she have against Eldraine as a little girl?" Sun Chenghuan suddenly said.

"She must have sworn something, like I would repay the person who killed Eldraine...... That's why such a spell is used. Oh, yes, it must be! I've finally found the value of the Monochic Spell!"

“...... Congratulations. Sun Chenghuan had a black line in his head and said angrily. "So here's the problem......"

"I'm fine, you can ask her sister! I think Sister Jessica should know something. ”

“...... Oh......" Sun Chenghuan nodded.

It seems like that's all there is to it.

What a strange spell, this is ......
