The infected seem to have a premonition that some kind of power connecting the curses has mysteriously disappeared, and some of the infected people's bodies are aging rapidly, so the number of monsters active in the city has suddenly decreased, and Ethan and their activities have become more convenient and safe.

I don't know how long I walked, but I arrived at the scene of the fire, and the original gorgeous building was in ruins, and the smell of choking smoke still emitted it.

Ethan and Yulia didn't dare to approach rashly, but just found a place and watched from a distance, and a voice sounded not far away, it should be the infected person who was moving.

Somewhere in the ruins, a point of light suddenly lit up, illuminating a figure that was not quite the same as that of a normal infected person.

"I've heard before that there are a lot of mutated infected people in the city, and their abilities are much stronger than normal infected people." Ethan lowered his voice and said to Yuria, "Be careful, try not to be caught by them." ”

"Okay, got it."

Yulia whispered.

They continued to look up at the ruins, the icy wind carrying the fluttering clouds and blowing away the ashes in the sky, only to see the infected rummaging through the ruins, occasionally picking up a lantern and reaching for the blackened and collapsed building.

Then, a sigh was heard in the wind, and the mutant infected straightened up and walked towards another piece of ruin.

"Haven't you found it yet?"

"No, we arrested him and tortured him for so long, and we didn't ask about the whereabouts of the witch's treasure."

The other infected person crawled over at some point, and his strange body was very different from that of a normal infected person.

"Damn it, who would have thought that a cat would ruin the plan."

The infected said angrily.

"Cats?"

Ethan showed a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but think of something, but before he could think too much, some black aura inexplicably surged from the infected's body, and the next second, it suddenly hugged its head and let out a piercing scream.

Ethan and Yulia were taken aback by the sudden scream, and almost at the same moment, the other infected let out the same scream.

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and the two infected rolled over the ruins, with a pattern of intricate patterns, which lit up on the monster's body, and only briefly lit up, and quickly disappeared into the night.

The moment it lit up, it happened to be captured by the sharp-eyed Ethan.

"Alchemy Array? No, that's not right...... It seems to be ...... Expressions of incantations. ”

Ethan muttered to himself that they were also spellcasters before they became infected, so it wasn't surprising that they could use curses.

It's just that it's not easy to be so coincidental and so "lucky" to meet the conditions of the curse.

The face of the infected is hideous, and it is accompanied by this roar, and it can last for such a long time, which means that it ...... The power of this curse is not small.

To be able to establish and achieve a technique in such a short period of time is probably something that even a high-level spell master can hardly do.

"Who is it! Who exactly! ”

The mutated infected roared loudly.

"Ahhhh It's her! It's her! ”

The other shouted as if he had lost his mind, and even knocked over the lantern in his hand and threw it aside, his face reflected in the firelight full of pain and madness.

"Failed! We still failed! Ahh......hh O great primordial god Yuranus! Please forgive me......"

Life faded away in prayers, and a biting chill crept up Ethan and Yuria's backs, and such a difficult infected person died under the curse.

Without warning.

It's a tingling on the scalp.

"Great ...... Juranos ......"

The other infected also died, and within a few minutes or so, the darkness returned to calm.

"Do you want to check it out?"

Yulia asked.

"It is generally best not to touch a corpse that has just been cursed to death, because according to different curses, people will also play different roles after death...... This is the material I read casually at Da Silva's house, and I didn't realize that he was also a member of the Spellcaster's Guild before. ”

I saw Ethan shake his head and pull Yulia, who was about to move forward, he observed the surroundings, quietly, without any abnormality.

Suddenly, he felt a peeping gaze, and hurriedly turned his head, except for the pitch black and pitch black, let alone a person, not even the figure of the infected.

"Let's go back first, and when the day comes, we might be better off taking Da Silva to see it."

After thinking about it for a while, Ethan made a decision.

"Okay."

Yulia didn't have much of an idea, so she nodded in agreement.

The action tonight is very fast, just come to explore the way, and by the way, add the two of them with their own ghosts.

There was a small clatter of broken stones, and Ethan turned around when he heard the sound, only to see a flash of black shadow.

"What's wrong? Ethan. ”

Yulia asked curiously when she saw Ethan's reaction.

"Nothing."

Ethan shook his head and replied.

There was silence all the way, and Yulia didn't seem to have much to say to him, as long as every time he mentioned Ewell, Yulia would seem to be a lot more concerned.

"Worried?"

"It's the first time I've seen Ewell fall."

Yulia lowered her head and muttered.

"Don't worry, he'll wake up, he's full of miracles."

……

"Da Silva, da Silva!"

In the dimly lit room, only one light was burning, and the monster was larger than the bed, so it could only shrink itself up and nest in the corner of the room.

His eyes were closed, as if he had fallen into some kind of nightmare.

Faintly, he heard someone calling his name, calling out to him from the depths of the darkness.

Trembling, he took a step forward and stepped on the road paved with fallen leaves, making a rustling sound.

There were two green eyes staring at him in the depths, like some kind of guidance, and da Silva could only keep walking forward.

"Da Silva ......"

The illusory voice was familiar, and he frowned, unable to remember for a moment where he had heard such a voice.

However, at the end of the road, he only saw an altar, exactly the same as the decoration of the Holy Maiden in Ronalque.

A blurred mass of flesh tied to the cross, burning in flames, still calling his name.

“…… Is it really good for us to do this? ”

"What are you afraid of? Da Silva ...... Don't take on this task if you're so timid......"

"But ......"

"Listen, if you can ask where the witch's treasure is, we can all return to normal, and you don't want to be a monster for the rest of your life, right!?"

"No, I can't do it......"

"Da Silva! What the hell are you afraid of! When you were in charge of the festival of saints, you secretly replaced the names of the daughters of the nobility with the daughters of slaves, and subjected them to all kinds of tortures, at that time...... Are you scared?! ”

"I know...... Am I wrong...... It's me who did it wrong......"

"In a word! Do not do it! ”

“……”

As the conversation faded away, da Silva suddenly remembered that the group of sorcerers, who had lost their humanity, had taken the king over to inquire about the last treasure left behind by the witch.

Wangcheng has long been an empty shell.

All the royal family, all the nobles, have died at the hands of that behemoth, and the cowardly sorcerers will hide in the guild and tremble.

"What a failure."

"It's only one step away from knowing ......"

A sigh came from nowhere, and Da Silva could feel that something was approaching him, and the strange scene of the ceremony in front of him made Da Silva feel uncontrollable fear.

The scorching flames mingled with the icy air currents, and turning around, staring at the darkness behind him, da Silva stepped back in fear, feeling something under his feet and stumbling over it all at once.

With an exclamation, da Silva fell to the side of the altar, his hand was warm, as if he had touched something, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the mass of flesh and blood that had been tied to the altar.

Suddenly, as if it had come to life, the flesh showed sharp teeth and pounced on him, enveloping the whole person at once.

"Have you ever been burned? Mr. da Silva. ”

Da Silva jerked his head up to find himself tied to the altar, and the scorching heat of the flames beneath his feet spread.

"Don't, don't! ——”

Da Silva shouted, awoke from his dream, and he sat up on his bed, looking at the empty room, where the light of the lantern on the table was dancing, and everything was as calm as ever.

"Whew—it's a nightmare......"

Da Silva breathed a long sigh of relief, fortunately what happened just now was just fake, wiped the sweat on his head, he didn't have the heart to continue sleeping, and listened to the movement next door, Ethan and Yulia seemed to have returned.

Da Silva got up quietly, went to Jiang Chenchuan's room and went around, and there was no sign of waking up, Ballas shrank in the sofa and fell asleep deeply, not even realizing that Da Silva came in and left.

"Is it cooling?"

Suddenly feeling a chill, da Silva touched his skin, let out a cold breath, went back to his room to pack his things, and quietly walked downstairs with a suitcase of luggage.

He had to leave, the city of Ronalk was hopeless, the Spellcaster's Guild had been destroyed, and if it was really someone who wanted revenge, then the next target ......

It will be yourself!

It's hard to figure out who is behind these little moves, but it's always right to escape.

Quietly opening the door, the icy wind swept through the streets, and there was not a single infected person in the silent street, only the sound of Da Silva's own breathing and heartbeat.

The moon loomed in the clouds, casting a faint silver veil over the night sky, and everything seemed so peaceful that da Silva knew a secret passage to the outside of the city, and if there were no accidents, he would be able to leave the city tonight.

Da Silva left the house, and there seemed to be a low prayer in his ears, as if mourning the demise of Ronalque, and he didn't know where it came from, accompanied by the movement of Sissi, all the way into the distance.

Strangely enough, da Silva felt as if he had walked a long distance, but still did not come near the city gates.

"Today's road...... How long ......"

Da Silva muttered to herself, unaware of the repetition around her.

He continued to wander around the area until he felt the temperature in the air drop again, and the cold stimulated his brain.

Da Silva looked up and saw that the road in front of him was so familiar.

"The ...... of the Holy Maiden's Festival"

Even his voice trembled, and his body couldn't stop being afraid.

"Why am I...... Will be here......"

It's a strange feeling, and it's hard for da Silva to explain, it's like falling into a bottomless trap, and the feeling of powerlessness to break free can't be surrounded.

"Da Silva ......"

A call sounded from afar, still the same as in a dream.

The black figure gradually approached, raised his hand, and the swinging blade fell, and the red blood stained the altar of the holy maiden, even if, there was nothing on the altar.

Someone was laughing, and da Silva turned around, a familiar figure reflected in his pupils......

"Really...... It's you! ”

Da Silva struggled, clutching his bleeding wound and looking terrified.

The expression was fixed on his face, the spell lit up on his body gradually dimmed, a light rose on the horizon, and the night passed, and the light seemed to return to the earth.

As the day dawned, the sleeping creatures in Ronalk City woke up one by one, and the light illuminated Jiang Chenchuan's face, his brows shrunk slightly, and his fingers twitched slightly.

Feeling that there was a heavy object pressing on his body, I was afraid that it would be difficult to breathe if he continued like this, Jiang Chenchuan slowly opened his eyes, and in a hazy mood, he saw that it was a black cat sleeping on his chest.

Reach out and gently hug the cat to the side, and the cat is very asleep, so he doesn't wake up when he moves around.

Jiang Chenchuan sat up, Ballas was still asleep on the sofa, took a look at the surrounding environment, and after confirming that it was safe, he lifted the quilt and looked at his body.

The injuries on his body have healed, his spirit is still normal, and the power of awakening is no different from before, flowing normally in his body.

"Solved."

Recalling the picture before he lost consciousness, Jiang Chenchuan felt a little tired, and he had lost the power of original sin, this kind of gap would be unacceptable.

This is what original sin says, the temptation that comes from "power and power."

As if something was intervening, Jiang Chenchuan raised his hand and saw that a faint mark on the back of his hand was slowly disappearing.

"Cursed?"

Jiang Chenchuan could tell what alchemy was and what spell was, during the time he was unconscious, someone put a curse on his body, but as he woke up, that curse seemed to be invalid.

"Yi ...... Ewell! You're awake. ”

Hearing the movement, Barras opened his eyes and saw the figure sitting on the edge of the bed, and suddenly came to his senses.

"How long did I sleep?"

Jiang Chenchuan held his head and asked.

"About a day."

As soon as Barras finished speaking, he heard a scream coming from the next room, what seemed to be Yulia's voice.

Worried that something had happened to Yulia, Jiang Chenchuan rushed out, but he only saw Yulia facing the open door of the room, with a frightened look on her face.
