Chapter 35: The King's Domain
Seeing that there was no box, Jiang Chenchuan thought that the original sin was just playing him, and after closing the box, he ignored it.
Looking at Jiang Chenchuan with an unmoved look, Original Sin showed a puzzled look:
"Aren't you in a hurry?"
"What's the hurry?"
Jiang Chenchuan was puzzled.
"You didn't find ......?"
I thought it was Jiang Chenchuan's means to deal with him, but I didn't expect that he didn't find out that the black cat had been hiding in the recycling box, but now it has lost its trace.
"Still, I can kindly remind you......
Original Sin turned around, and the rest of the words were suddenly stuck, looking at Jiang Chenchuan, who was tired and leaning on the sofa, who was already asleep, shook his head, and disappeared into the room.
The weather outside the window was clear, there was not a single dark cloud in sight, and the scope of the royal city was not large, but the infected people who were active there were much more dangerous than the infected people outside.
Portochar looked out the window at the scenery, this familiar land, no longer back to its original state, Da Silva probably had the same feelings as him.
"They...... It's still ......."
The reason why there are still ordinary humans alive is because there are still some infected people who are both rational and kind, secretly taking in these poor city citizens and giving them materials to live.
Most of the infected who are contaminated by the curse roam the streets, hunting and killing innocent people.
Just like within the spell master, the same is true, the truly terrifying infected person has not yet been encountered by Jiang Chenchuan.
"Where's Mr. Ewell?"
Da Silva asked, turning to Ballas.
"I just went to take a sneak peek, and he seems to be asleep."
The bracelet on his wrist still played a role, but this time, he didn't have the courage to stab Jiang Chenchuan again.
It only takes one experience of horror to be experienced.
"Let him rest well, and when we make dinner, we will get him up to eat."
Portochar was a sensible child who knew how to take care of others.
Jiang Chenchuan was indeed gone, but it couldn't be said to have disappeared, but the moment he saw the spell, he decided to run away.
Spellcasters are already difficult to deal with, and combined with their change of mindset after turning into monsters, most infected people attack when they see a normal person and refuse to communicate.
You must know that if the attack just now hits his body, Jiang Chenchuan will probably have to lie in that corridor and not move.
The feeling of oppression that makes the scalp tingle, it is better to take the initiative to stay away, Jiang Chenchuan is running around the Spellcaster Association with the recycling bin, and the stumps and broken arms that can be seen everywhere, as well as the corpses of unknown creatures, are piled up in various dark corners.
The icy air flow flowed freely through the narrow passage, and he didn't know how far he had gone, away from the oppressive aura, presumably into the interior of the Spellcaster's Guild, and the surrounding decorations and murals had changed.
In order to be able to leave as soon as possible and not to attract attention, Jiang Chenchuan tried his best to lighten his pace, most of the rooms had been damaged, all kinds of decorations were scattered all over the ground, and there were broken furniture and books.
Maybe it was the abnormal airflow that disturbed the normal breath, so even if Jiang Chenchuan observed in the various rooms, there was no trouble for the infected to come to him.
It's just that the screams that come from outside from time to time remind Jiang Chenchuan of the cruelty of the Spellcaster Association, it is not that the infected are willing to communicate with him, but that he has the ability to kill the infected, so he can communicate.
Dust filled the dilapidated building, and the complex passages and corridors made him almost lost in the guild.
I opened a small door that looked like an exit again, only to find that it was a more spacious space.
There was nothing in the empty room, except for a chair that could be backed, and from a distance, it looked like a person was sitting there.
The figure didn't look like an infected, but four long chains pulled from either side, imprisoning his wrists and ankles.
"Humans?"
Jiang Chenchuan tried to speak out.
But the man didn't give him a response, seeing that the scene in front of him was full of weirdness, Jiang Chenchuan looked at the two sides of the corridor and saw that there were no infected people passing by, so he quietly walked in.
Click-
The door was locked, and the curtains were drawn tightly so that no light could penetrate, so the room was dim, and only the back of the person sitting could be faintly seen.
Approaching slowly in two steps, the gray curtains in front of him could only be pulled open in the unlit room.
There was a bang.
The warm and soft sunlight poured in through the glass, like a layer of gold dust on every object in the room.
"I'm ...... Still alive......"
I don't know why, the person who was just sitting in the chair suddenly moved, and the old voice barely squeezed out of his throat, like a dead and alive human, sighing at the miracle of life.
Turning around, he saw a face that was extremely old, with layers of wrinkles covering his face, and it seemed that it was very difficult to even lift his eyelids.
「…… You...... No...... Ronalque ......"
With just one glance, the old man said so, after all, it was a typical appearance of Yinglan Beier, so it was not unusual to be recognized.
"I'm from Polonia."
Jiang Chenchuan followed his words.
"I didn't expect it...... cough cough cough ......"
Before he could finish a complete sentence, the old man coughed wildly, his breathing was very chaotic, and his breath was so weak that it seemed as if he would die at any moment.
"Slow down your breath and speak slowly."
Inexplicably, Jiang Chenchuan approached the old man, and only then did he see that his skin was actually covered with strange fish scales.
It is a little different from those infected outside, they are mutated because of the curse and their respective changes to the spell, and this old man does not have the so-called curse mark on his body.
In other words, he is not cursed by the mermaid, but it is like a mutation of the body itself, which causes the aging of the body.
Due to the light, the fish scales reflected colorful light, and in a trance, Jiang Chenchuan seemed to see a strange scene, the sea full of storms, and the waves that raged at will.
But it was only for a short moment, and it was gone, and the inexplicable illusion disappeared, leaving only reality.
As if seeing Jiang Chenchuan's gaze clearly, the old man coughed:
"Did it scare you? I look ......."
Jiang Chenchuan shook his head.
To be honest, if you compare it with the infected people who are wandering around, the old man's appearance can be regarded as normal.
"On you...... What happened?"
One strange thing after another happens, the world seems to be brewing something terrifying, and everything that is happening now is just the calm before the storm.
Only by touching the abyss can we see the movement of the abyss.
"Corpse...... The mermaid corpse...... cough cough cough ......"
The old man's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time, he coughed incessantly, and his whole body was on the verge of fainting.
"How can I help?" And also...... I'm ...... now Need a clue to the corpse in your mouth......
Jiang Chenchuan said slowly.
And the old man just slowly raised his head and stared at him intently.
Click-click-
It was the sound of a creature stepping on the floor, and the footsteps were heard from far away, but they were approaching step by step.
So the voice gradually became clearer, and the old man, who originally wanted to say something, suddenly stopped his movements, listened attentively for a while, and said directly:
"You're still ...... Ahem...... Let's get out of here."
Because of the restraint of iron chains, it was extremely difficult for him to raise his hand, and the old man moved slowly, pointing out the window with his index finger, signaling where Jiang Chenchuan could leave.
"But ......"
Jiang Chenchuan still wanted to say something, the information that was finally obtained, couldn't just fly.
"Leave...... Bar...... I'll tell you when you get back......
The old man insisted on his thoughts and shook his head at Jiang Chenchuan.
The footsteps approached little by little, and the oppressive aura slowly invaded the room, and if you stayed a little longer, you would be discovered by the infected.
"Then ...... Wait until I get back."
Time was pressing, and he didn't have time to say too much, Jiang Chenchuan could only explain a few words, and then ran to the position of the window.
The cold wind outside kept pouring in, as if he hadn't felt such fresh air for a long time, and the old man closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
In the next second, the door behind him opened, and the head of a terrifying infected man came in.
"Strange...... How did this window open......
The infected muttered quietly, walked into the room, closed the windows again, closed the curtains, and the whole room ...... It's back to its original darkness.
With a small sound, Jiang Chenchuan landed smoothly, and as soon as the patrolling infected person left, he escaped directly.
The situation in the Conjurercery was even more strange and dangerous than he had imagined, but many of the puzzles were unanswered.
Turning around and looking up, the old man's body must have hidden a secret about the mermaid relic.
"Will be back."
It's like talking to yourself, and it's like a promise.
In order not to get into trouble, Jiang Chenchuan quickly and decisively left the Spell Master Association, and as soon as he was away from that place, he could feel that the whole person was relaxed.
If the information is accurate, then his next destination should be the so-called "king's domain" - the royal city.
It is also where those nobles are located.
If he set off now, it would be very difficult for him to move at night, so if he could avoid the trouble caused by the darkness, Jiang Chenchuan would prefer to set off at night and arrive during the day.
At the moment, the best plan was to go back to Da Silva's house first, open the map and take a general look, confirm the location, and arrive at Da Silva's residence a little faster than when he came, at least before dark.
"Knock knock."
After knocking on the door as agreed, Barras opened the door and greeted him.
"You're hurt!?"
Ballas looked at him and exclaimed.
Jiang Chenchuan glanced down, the blood stains left on his body from the battle with the infected, as well as all kinds of abrasions and dust left after rolling, he did look a little embarrassed.
"There are no injuries, it's all the blood of the infected."
Jiang Chenchuan replied calmly, and when he entered the house, Barras quickly closed the door and locked it with three layers of locks.
Perceiving Jiang Chenchuan's puzzled gaze, Barras explained:
"One more lock, one more layer of insurance, safer."
This is far from the appearance and impression of the first meeting with Ballas, Jiang Chenchuan has no vigilance against him, and as soon as he turned around and didn't take two steps, he heard Portocal's voice sounding upstairs.
"Char, are you alright?"
Jiang Chenchuan walked upstairs and asked with concern.
"Mr. Ewell! That's great! You're back!"
Feeling Portochar's enthusiasm, under the explanation of Da Silva and Barras, he also understood that he was able to escape death because of Jiang Chenchuan's timely action.
"It's okay."
Touching Portochar's head, he asked da Silva for some food and emergency medicine, and returned to his makeshift room alone, leaving the recycling bin aside.
I took a basin of water for myself, and at least scrubbed my body clean, otherwise those abrasions will be infected, and it will be easy to get infected.
took off his clothes and threw them aside, and when Jiang Chenchuan took the medicine to clean the wound, he found that there seemed to be some strange lines spreading around the wound, which looked like a curse of the unfinished spell.
It's just a bunch of messy elements that don't mean anything.
"Infected?"
Now I can only think of this possibility, and if I am injured in the process of fighting the intested, the necessary conditions for the curse of infection have been completed.
I don't know why, Jiang Chenchuan didn't feel any discomfort in his body, and the curse mark was also mutilated.
Jiang Chenchuan changed his clothes and went next door to call Da Silva.
This is the benefit of having a spellmaster teammate, and when Jiang Chenchuan lifted his clothes, Da Silva let out a sigh:
"It's amazing! Mr. Ewell."
"What's wrong with Uncle Ewell!?"
Portochar huddled aside to join in the fun, and Ballas's expression was visibly startled, and he could see that it was the mark of a curse.
"Is he infected?"
Barras asked anxiously.
This time, he really cared about Jiang Chenchuan's safety, of course, because only Jiang Chenchuan could take him out of Ronalk City.
"What so...... It's a very strange phenomenon, the principle of the curse is precise, it is somewhat similar to alchemy, as long as the conditions are established and the technique is established, the mark can be formed, and the mark is formed, which means that the curse is effective."
Da Silva explained to Jiang Chenchuan.
"Let's just say it."
"And in your case Ywell, the conditions and spells of the curse have been established, but ......
Da Silva paused.
"What the hell is going on, don't bother, tell me, Uncle Dasilva."
It seems that Portochar is even more anxious than Jiang Chenchuan.
"But when it comes to the imprint, I don't know why, it can't be formed in your body, that is, without the curse imprint, the curse can't work, it's simply a miracle in Ronalk City!"
If this miracle had happened to any Ronalque, it would not have become the person it is today.
"In other words, the curse of Ronalk City has no effect on Iwell......
