Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 049 The Ripper's Request and Advice
Faced with Nock's questioning, [Ripper] decisively admitted, "Yes, I am a human being. But when he was cursed, he would become like this at night.
But it seems that the light of the moon can restrain the curse on me. As long as the moon appears, this form of mine instinctively loaths it. ”
"However, maybe it's because the waning moon isn't strong enough, but it's just that I can make the monster instinctively want to escape it. Only on the night of the full moon can I regain a little consciousness and sanity after turning into a monster. ”
After listening to [The Ripper]'s words, Nock instinctively pointed out his suspicions.
"But the way you look now is not like you've only regained a little bit of sanity and consciousness."
The Ripper hesitated, then reached out and took out a bright white object from under the hair on the back of his head, and held it in the palm of his hand for Nock to see.
"It's because of this thing that I'm able to be fully awake on a full moon night."
Although the moonlight was falling in the woods, the light was still insufficient, and Nock could only see that it was a reflective object in the palm of his hand, but he didn't know what it was.
"Illumination!"
Nok couldn't help but inspire a first-level divine technique, the "Illumination Technique".
"It is! This is my dagger! Give it back to me! ”
Seeing clearly that the [Ripper] was holding his "lost" dagger in the palm of his hand, Nock wanted to snatch it back.
Unexpectedly, [Ripper] seemed to have expected it, and when Nock exclaimed, he had already retracted his hand and put the dagger back in his head.
He refused: "Yes, this dagger is yours, but I can't give it back to you yet." ”
Nock roared, "This is my thing! ”
[The Ripper] shook his head firmly: "No, it's mine now." I won't give him back to you until I'm back in human form. It's a dagger made of Mithril, and it has the power to break demons, just enough to restrain the curse on me. Such a precious treasure must be very important to you, so, help me, and I will return it to you. ”
Nock got angry: "You're threatening me? ”
[Ripper] waved his hand, not caring and said, "You think it's my request, whether it's a threat, it's all the same." You're no match for me right now, you can't rob me. Besides, you just swore to help me, and you can't go back. ”
Nock was very annoyed, how could he have sworn by the Holy Lord so easily just now!
"But how do I know if you're lying to me!"
"I just want to be back to my old self, and no one wants to be a heart-splitting murderer."
Nock looked at the somewhat serious monster face, hesitated, and then agreed: "Okay, you tell me about your situation first, and then I decide whether to help you or not." ”
But the Ripper stubbornly said, "No! If you don't promise to help me, I won't tell you anything about me. ”
Nock said unhappily: "You can't trust me? Then you still come to me! ”
[Ripper] said: "We were enemies before, if I hadn't helped you today, you wouldn't even be going to talk to me, how can you make me believe you." ”
Nock scratched his silver hair frantically, thought about it for a moment, and decided to venture with the monster in front of him for his dagger.
"Forgive me, O all-knowing Lord, for falling into the company of monsters. If it deceives me, I will wash away my sins by cutting off its head with my own hands. ”
Nock secretly repented in his heart, but he promised [Ripper].
"Okay, I'll promise to help you once. Tell me who you are and how you want me to help you. ”
[The Ripper] flickered his gaze and did not directly answer Nock's question.
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you who I really am. Whether I want to admit it or not, I did kill quite a few women. In order not to cause trouble for my family, my identity had to be kept secret. ”
Snort, Nock couldn't help but sneer in his heart: You still know that you are full of evil.
"Then let's not talk about identity, how do you want me to help you? Help you lift the curse, or help you catch the person who cursed you? ”
Nock doesn't want to go around in circles with [The Ripper] anymore.
It was getting late, and he didn't know how long it had been since he had been unconscious.
Are the children in the house in a hurry, are Sherlock or the Queen those people continuing to do anything about the abbey?
Judging by the queen's attitude at that time, she was determined to eradicate the monastery and dismiss the children.
Nock didn't have time to waste on the Ripper.
Seeing the impatience on Nock's face, [Ripper] said straight to the point: "I want you to help me lift the curse on me." You are the priest of the Holy Church, and your Holy Church has an ancient heritage. If there's one thing you can do to help me the most in England right now, you're the only one who can help me. ”
Nock said with a sneering face, "You're flattering me too much." I'm just an unlicensed priest, and I'm only a beginner in bronze. Nominally, he is a priest with fifth-level strength, but his strength is fourth-level who can only serve as a priest.
I will neither know the seventh-order divine skill [Miracle Hand] nor the sixth-order [Holy Light Cleansing]. What can I do to help you lift the curse. (note 1)
Nock didn't shirk it, but he really couldn't help it.
If he knows the [Holy Light Cleansing] Divine Technique, and uses this Divine Technique to purify the abnormal state on the target's body, it is possible to break the curse and purify it.
Or learn the magic of [Miracle Hand], which can be called a miracle, except for not being able to bring the dead back to life, any other disease can be cured.
Curses should also be a type of illness, right? Probably......
"Nope! You must have a way! I just met you and started to regain consciousness. If you have a Mithril dagger that can break demons, there must be other secret treasures as well.
You have inherited the Convent of Our Lady, the legacy of the Holy Church! There's got to help me! ”
[The Ripper] was emotional, opened his mouth, suppressed the volume, and roared in a low voice.
Nock rolled his eyes, speechless.
"Do you think the monastery really has a bunch of secret treasures, and it can be my turn to inherit it as a nobody? The reason why I have a Mithril dagger is because it is a relic left to me by Sister Merry of the Abbey. ”
Nock lied slightly, Nock didn't want the other party to know that the dagger was related to his background.
Otherwise, this guy will definitely feel that he has eaten Nock and will make even more unreasonable demands.
"Sister Merry?"
[The Ripper] used his vague memory to remember the meaning of the name.
The image of an old lady standing majestically on the English City Bell and looking down on countless powerhouses of the Natural Church came to mind.
[The Ripper] couldn't help but shudder.
If it's a relic of that person, it makes sense.
"That's not right! Even if you don't inherit any treasures. But your Holy Church, the oldest power in England, must have written a way to lift the curse! ”
Well, Nock has to admit that, [The Ripper] is right.
Although the glorious period of the Holy Church's domination of the continent lasted only a thousand years, it was founded in ancient times and was one of the earliest denominations to believe in gods.
The Church of Nature has a strong momentum in the Kingdom of Lionheart, but it has no historical background.
It's not even as good as those small but long-established small sects. For example, Zoroastrianism, Lunaism, and so on.
Therefore, the Holy Church, a force with a long tradition, must be rich in historical documents.
Nock wasn't sure if the documents in the study of the small building contained a way to break the curse.
"I can check it for you, but I don't guarantee it. You should know that the monasteries of today are no longer as good as the monasteries of the past. There are really some valuable documents, it is estimated that when the cardinal evacuated England, he had already taken it with him. ”
Nock's words, [Ripper] kind of listened to.
I also know that what Nock said is the truth, after all, [The Ripper] himself has experienced that era and witnessed the rise and fall of the Holy Church in England.
"Even if you can't find a way in the monastery literature, you have to try to break the curse for me. The magic of your Holy Church claims to be the nemesis of all the dark forces. Maybe a few more tries will help me get rid of the curse! ”
Understanding is understanding, but [Ripper] won't let Nock get rid of it with a word.
Otherwise, when the time comes, Nock will say lightly: "I'm sorry, I turned over the record, and there is no way to lift the curse in it."
How does it know if it's true or not? What if Nock was just trying to fool him from start to finish!
These priests, what they like most most is not to preach the mercy of the Holy Lord, but to spread the glory of the Holy Lord!
Well, spread the light of the Holy Lord to the creatures of darkness.
Commonly known as: exorcism!
"Okay, if you don't believe me, then experience it for yourself, anyway, I can still cast two third-level divine arts-Healing Rings."
Watching Nock make a casting gesture and wait for the [Ripper] to agree before making a move, the [Ripper] was silent.
It was afraid that Nok was calculating it, and it hesitated.
It hesitated for a moment, but finally its desire to be restored to its original appearance prevailed over its fear.
"Well, let's try it and see if it works. But I warn you not to play tricks, or I won't be polite. ”
Nock said coldly: "Love to try or not!" You think I want to waste my power? Hell knows healing magic won't work for you! ”
Seeing that Nock was angry, [Ripper] hurriedly apologized.
The only thing it had to rely on was the Mithril Dagger that it possessed of Nock.
If Nock gets angry and wants to snatch it, it can't help it.
Kill Nock, and it can't find a second person to help it.
And the death of whether to kill or not is another story.
Nock didn't have that many worries, if the two of them fought too much and attracted people to besiege him, it would be dead.
After all, it's a monster now! Nock is human! British professionals know who they will help with their knees!
"Come on!"
[Ripper] took a resigned gesture and stood in front of Nock.
"Wait! Stand back, don't get so close to me. If you have a bad reaction to the magic and overreact to attack me, I won't die in vain! ”
Nock's sudden dislike made [The Ripper] very aggrieved, but Nock had a point.
So, [the ripper] stepped back two meters.
"Healing Ring!"
Nok unleashed a magic spell on the prepared [Ripper], and an aura composed of healing techniques wrapped around the [Ripper]'s waist, and the brilliance emitted by the aura desperately drilled towards the [Ripper].
"Ahhh The Ripper let out a low howl of pain, and even fell to his knees and slammed the ground with his hands.
"Stop! Stop it! Hurt! ”
[The Ripper] gritted his teeth and twisted his face to stop Nock.
Nock dispelled the [Healing Aura] and said with some regret, "Unfortunately, it seems that it didn't work. ”
Nock said regret on his lips, but his heart was happy: it turned out that the healing magic was more effective against this guy than the attack magic skill!
[Ripper] didn't take care of Nock, and at this time, it only had fear of Nock left in its heart.
Unexpectedly, the divine art restrained it so much, and the pain that pierced the heart was a hundred times more uncomfortable than being stabbed by a Mithril dagger!
"Do you want to try? I'll also have an antidote magic spell. Although it is only a second-level divine art, it may be useful. ”
Nock's words frightened [Ripper] and waved his hand again and again: "No, no!" I have to go. ”
Nock was surprised: "So fast? ”
[The Ripper] stood up, stared at Nock, and said, "It's almost dawn, I feel my consciousness is starting to blur, it's time to leave." ”
Nock replied lightly, "Oh. ”
[The Ripper] didn't care about Nock's coldness, turned around and jumped a few vertically onto the canopy, then suddenly stabilized his body, left a sentence for Nock, and then disappeared into the night.
"Nock Lane, beware of women, they are the best at deceiving people. Don't be complacent! ”
