Chapter 192: The Curse Removed!
The players leave Jack's Manor.
Their faces were filled with cheerful expressions, and for no other reason, it was because this time they had gained a lot in the fairyland.
Completing the Battle of Gatzt Town rewards a great one, plus a high amount of XP earned for killing the Polluted Tide, allowing each of them to level up several levels on average.
Although they don't know why, this time they harvested even less extraordinary materials than before, but they didn't care much anymore and were quite content.
Chen Lun was very pleased with this.
"Anyway, this time, the [Dawn of Gatzt] mission has also been settled for me...... Well, all the performances of the players, the final contribution is all counted on my head, um......'
The corners of Chen Lun's mouth raised.
'Is this in the river?' The River Tay is in the ...... Who made them my summons? β
Although the rewards are not as high as the first time, thanks to the heroic efforts of the players, they are not afraid to die...... Chen Lun didn't do anything, read the book, went to the Black Plains and came back, and finally got a reward of 6,000 experience points, 10 gold pounds, and a blessing weapon.
'It's a win-win situation, tsk......'
Chen Lun looked at the back of Polaris and the others leaving happily and sighed with emotion.
He took out the blessing weapon and gave a hint.
This is a long sword forged by the white cat clan, which has been worshiped in front of the cat god for a long time, and finally was infected by faith and blessed by the cat god.
Although it is not as unpredictable as a monster, it is also quite lethal, much more powerful than ordinary weapons!
γBlessed Weapon - Kazt Longswordγ
Item description: A fine longsword forged by a white cat blacksmith in the town of Kazt in the dream world, enshrined in a white spire for a long time, blessed by the god of cats, and containing divine powers of nature.
When the blade is slashed, it will be filled with golden light, sharpening iron like clay, and has a stronger lethality to the undead.
'I already have the Silver Staff [Astral Gift], so keep this sword as a spare.' β
Chen Lun put away the Kazt long sword.

The next evening.
After Noah went out to complete a painting commission, he returned to Jack's Manor.
He found Chen Lun for the first time, with joy on his face.
"Mr. Jack, the acquisition of the Cursed Thing that you confessed to has been successfully completed."
Noah smiled coyly and pulled out a very old revolver.
"It was the nobleman's heirloom, and he was eventually persuaded by Uncle Walsh to sell it to the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce...... Their family seems to have been glorious because of this strange thing, but in the end it gradually declined. β
"Oh? Let me see. β
Chen Lun took the revolver and got up.
γC-Rank Trick - Wheel of Fortuneγ
Item description: A treacherous artifact containing the power of fate, resembling a vintage revolver with a mahogany handle, with six bullets in the drum, each of which appears to have a different effect.
Listen to the first sound of fate, like a salute, or a death knell.
Item Effects: The effects of the six bullets are Spotlight (Charm +5), Tenacity (Willpower +5), Discerning (Insight +5), Time Movement (Luck +5), Flying Scourge (Random Curse +1), and Spirit Banishment, with the first five bullets lasting 24 hours.
Warning: Must be used on target, not empty, otherwise the bullet will shoot itself at the user. Every 24 hours, the bullet in the drum automatically resets.
Item Cost: -10 Luck per use for 24 hours.
'This Strange Thing......
Chen Lun's eyes showed a look of interest.
'A fuse of the Destiny faction? It's really interesting...... But it is uncontrollable, the bullet fired is full of uncertainty, and the practicality is not strong, but it is a pity that ......'
He felt something, and a thought flashed through his mind.
'No...... Wrong! As an extraordinary person of the Destiny faction, I may be able to use divination to predict the effect of its bullets in advance, so as to achieve a certain degree of control! β
Just do it, Chen Lun whistled, and then a big black mouse came out of the corner and ran straight to his feet.
Chen Lun picked up the old revolver and aimed it at the mouse.
This scene couldn't help but make Noah next to him stunned.
In the next second, Chen Lun took out the playing cards, shuffled the cards with one hand, flicked his fingers, and a poker spun in mid-air, and was finally caught by his two fingers.
Flip it lightly and it's a 3 of spades!
'Six bullets, two of which represent misfortune, are curse and exile...... But in the rules of divination that I framed, the spade meant curse, and the square represented exile...... So this foreshadowing, the third shot is a curse! β
Chen Lun thought to himself, and immediately pulled the trigger in Noah's puzzled eyes.
Aiming at the rat is three shots!
Bang bang! Boom!
The two shots in front directly made the mouse stunned. The bullet was fired into its body, and it did not cause a wound, as if it was directly integrated, unscathed, and there was no intuitive change.
But after the third shot, it suddenly appeared uneasy.
"Mr. Jack, ...... you?"
Noah spoke.
"Do a test, Noah...... If successful, then the possibility of the curse being removed from your body will be greatly increased. β
Chen Lun smiled.
His gaze was fixed on the rat on the ground, silently observing the change, and the latter twitched his nose restlessly, looking around vigilantly, as if something terrible was about to happen.
But after a while, it was still calm.
Just when Chen Lun thought that his guess had been wrong, the little white cat Bib happened to come down from upstairs and meowed when he saw the mouse.
The big black rat on the ground was startled, turned around and ran, and in a panic bumped into the corner of the coffee table, and the fruit knife on the table lost its balance and fell, cutting off its head straight.
"This ...... This is? β
Noah looked surprised.
Chen Lun smiled even more and said softly:
"The curse is in effect......"
At the same time, he thought inwardly:
Sure enough! I can indeed estimate the effect of a bullet through [divination]...... This may be due to the fact that my divination weight is not low, and with the help of the blessing [Shining Star], this can overwhelm the interference shield that comes with this fate-based trick. β
Chen Lun recalled the description of the [Lucky Wheel], it would take another 24 hours for the bullets inside to reset, so he put the revolver away.
He turned to look at Noah.
"Noah, this time tomorrow, I will take you to remove the curse from your body."
The shy fat boy was stunned at first, and then his face was happy, he smiled embarrassedly and nodded heavily.
"Okay! Mr. Jack! β
*
*
*
The next day.
Chen Lun took Noah to the courtyard of the manor.
"Ready? Noah. β
He turned his head to look at the tall fat boy beside him and said with a smile.
Noah didn't know Chen Lun's intentions, but he trusted him very much and nodded shyly.
"Ready, Mr. Jack."
"That's good...... Later I will take you into the spirit realm and find a spirit creature who can remove the curse from you. β
Chen Lun said.
He was not as tall as Noah, so he could only raise his hand and grab the other party's thick forearm.
In the next second, Chen Lun concentrated his attention and stared ahead.
With the powerful vision brought by high insight, he quickly discovered the blue dark rift leading to the spirit world, and he stepped forward and touched it directly.
Rumble!
The two of them were instantly engulfed by the open rift.
Noah hadn't reached the middle sequence yet, and his own insight couldn't find this rift at all, but with Chen Lun's help, he also entered the spirit world.
The fat boy was slightly stunned, only to feel that Mr. Jack pulled him to take a step, and then the scene around him changed, as if he had entered a blurred area.
You can still see the scene in the manor vaguely, but there is an illusion that it is out of reach.
"This is the spirit ......?"
Noah was surprised.
"Yes, before being promoted to the middle rank, ordinary low-rank transcendents can't come here...... Even if they did, it would be very dangerous for them. β
Chen Lun said.
He took out the [Wheel of Fortune] and took out his playing cards for divination, and the result was that the second shot would be a cursed bullet "flying wreck".
'Noah carries the curse of the high rank of the Flesh faction, and I also have the curse of the [Poison of History] on me, but it is not enough...... Not enough to attract the attention of 'Mr. Bottle'. β
Chen Lun aimed at his chest and fired two shots in succession!
Bang bang!
[You've received a "Much-Anticipated" effect amplification!] Charm +5 for 24 hours! γ
[You are debuffed by the effect of "Flying Disaster"!] Those who are cursed as "lost" will unconsciously get lost and go astray! Duration 24 hours! γ
'It's okay...... As with the results of my divination, this one is more dangerous than other high-intensity curses. In addition, 5 charms have been added, which will also help if Mr. Bottle appears. β
Chen Lun thought to himself.
[Nature's Favor LV2 (Blessing)] brought him the effect of [Beast Tamer] skill +2, and the [Animal Friend] inherited from Philip has also been amplified, and it has reached the level of being able to affect extraordinary creatures.
"Noah, the curse is what attracts that spirit creature, and it will follow the 'smell of blood' of the curse like a shark...... The more powerful the curse, the more likely it is to come. β
Chen Lun looked at Noah with some doubts, so he explained.
"I see, Mr. Jack."
Noah nodded, grateful.
"But you don't have to bear this curse for my sake......"
Chen Lun didn't answer him, just shook his head slightly, not caring much.
He simply didn't want to put more pressure on Noah, and he was sure of this curse and had no burden on himself to shoot.
This silent response fell on Noah's heart, making him even more grateful.
He thought to himself that Mr. Jack really treated him like family...... Just like Mr. Jack said when he first joined the circus.
"I must repay Mr. Jack's kindness, listen to my mother's teachings, follow him all the time, serve as his exclusive painter, and leave him a peerless painting that has been passed down for thousands of years!"
Noah swore secretly.
As time passed, Chen Lun couldn't help frowning slightly.
'Mr. Bottle hasn't shown up yet...... Why? Could it be that at this point in time, it has not yet appeared ......? β
He thought to himself, and suddenly he had another idea.
So he put away the revolver, took out the silver jug, and put it on himself.
This comes from another piece of information about Mr. Bottle, who has a close friend named "Mr. Kettle", and wearing a silver kettle himself may enhance his attraction to him.
This time, something has changed.
It didn't take long for a light sound to sound all around.
In the sight of the two, a huge, human-tall bronze bottle slowly emerged, the bottle body was covered with strange patterns and patterns, making people dizzy after looking at it for a long time.
At the mouth of the bottle, the head of a man is exposed, his skin is dark, he has no hair, and his face has various tattoos with overlapping circles.
"Human ...... How did you grow a pot head too? Much like my friend! However, the tip of the pot is a reddish-brown clay pot, not as flamboyant as you, and it is shiny silver. β
Mr. Bottle said kindly.
"Oh? Is it! If you have a chance, you must meet this friend. β
According to the description of Mr. Bottle and Mr. Pot in his memory, Chen Lun changed the way he spoke, so that he could better gain the favor of the other party.
Perhaps Chen Lun's charm value is high enough, and [Animal Friends] is in effect, Mr. Bottle said enthusiastically:
"I smell the curse on both of you, do you need help?"
"It couldn't be better, thank you so much."
Chen Lun held the silver kettle on his head, stroked his chest and bowed slightly towards the bronze bottle.
"You're welcome, this is not a delicious meal for me, heh!"
Mr. Bottle said, opening his mouth and sucking.
A huge suction force surged out, as if a vortex of wind was born out of thin air, pulling Noah and Chen Lun into its mouth.
Noah's body was huge and stood in place, while Chen Lun stomped into the ground to stabilize his balance.
The two of them were quickly torn out of some kind of "black line", one for Noah and two for Chen Lun, and they were twisted and swallowed by Mr. Bottle.
Immediately, three more lines appeared on the bronze bottle, and Mr. Bottle closed his mouth and showed a satisfied look.
It slammed its mouth and burped in displeasure.
"What a delicious curse...... I also thank you both for making me a nice meal! β
You are purified! [Poison of History LV1 (Curse)] and [Lost Man LV1 (Curse)] have been removed! γ
[Mr. Bottle's favorability towards you has increased!] Currently friendly! γ
[Completed B-rank Hidden Mission: Test of the Black Knight!] γ
[Rewards: 10,000 XP, 20 Gold Pounds, Byles' Opinion, and [Moon Faction Sequence 8] Extraordinary Knowledge*1]
A series of prompt boxes popped up, and Chen Lun felt happy.
The curse on his body was removed, he gained the favor of Mr. Bottle, and completed the test mission of the Black Knight by the way.
He glanced at Noah beside him, who looked slightly excited and had an indescribable relief.
"I feel much more relaxed, Mr. Jack...... The curse is gone! β
Noah said.
Chen Lun smiled and patted his arm, jokingly:
"Then you have to control your diet and exercise more...... In this way, you can return to your previous appearance. β
"Uh...... I will, Mr. Jack. β
Noah was a little confused, but finally nodded earnestly.
He thought to himself that it would be even more difficult to keep himself from eating the food that Miss Floy had made than the order of promotion.
Mr. Bottle shook the bottle from side to side, looking very happy.
"Mr. Silverteaul, oh, I'm sorry to call you that...... I would like to say that I am still in a bit of a hurry and need to leave first, and I regret that I cannot continue to communicate with you. β
It thought for a moment, spit out a bronze bell from its mouth, and was caught by Chen Lun.
"My friend, Mr. Pot, has been in a fight with a human recently, and I can't call him over for the time being...... I'll introduce you two to each other when I have time, heh! β
"That's great, it's my pleasure."
Chen Lun said.
He glanced at the bronze bell in his hand.
γToken - Copper Bell of the Bottleγ
Item description: A token used to summon the spirit creature "Mr. Bottle", shaking the bell, will emit invisible sound waves, transmitted to the spirit world, and received by Mr. Bottle.
"Alright, Mr. Silver Teapot, I'll go first, and we'll see you next time."
Mr. Bottle smiled as his body slowly disappeared.
"Goodbye, Mr. Bottle."
Chen Lun bowed slightly, and so did Noah on the side.
A second before Mr. Bottle disappeared, Chen Lun quietly used the [Voyeur Eye] to investigate.
'Mr. Bottle isn't very strong...... It's only about [Sequence 7], but it's covered in curses, and basically no spirit creatures are willing to provoke it. β
Wait for Mr. Bottle to leave completely.
"Let's go back, Noah."
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Chen Lun grabbed Noah's arm and focused his attention, preparing to withdraw from the spirit world.
He stepped out.
But at this moment, suddenly Chen Lun was slightly stunned.
[You are being spied on by the "Eye of Shadows"!] will expose its own information! γ
[Maggie's Tears take effect!] Judgment is successful, exempt from prying eyes! γ
At this moment, although Chen Lun shielded the prying eyes from nowhere, an ominous premonition suddenly arose in his heart, and [Spiritual Intuition] told him-
'Oh no! After using the [Wheel of Fortune], the cost is Luck -10, and my luck value at the moment is negative, and I will be unlucky at any time......
Rumble!
A blurry scene in the horizon receded into the distance, and Noah returned to the present world.
In the familiar Jack's manor, he looked around a little blankly.
"Huh? What about Mr. Jack......? β
