Chapter 343: Evath the Cursed

Materials for making "Wheel of Fortune" cards are hard to find.

In order to save time, Aihuas directly mobilized his three companions to help him find it together.

It's not as demanding as the "Moon" card, but it's also a bit of a hassle—but it's just a hassle.

Four owl feathers, three griffon feathers, the shackles and keys of the Wise Prisoner, bandages or gauze for those who had been mortally wounded but survived, and a small amount of sapphire powder were required.

The first two of these are easy to find.

Owls are rare, but they are not otherworldly creatures. In the middle of the night, Eivas had asked Liz the Griffon to catch one. And the griffon's feathers are even closer.

The latter two materials are mainly difficult to find.

The "Wheel of Fortune" card symbolizes change, certainty, and force majeure...... The changed Thot Tarot version of the Wheel of Fortune has more meaning of "reversing fate with your own will".

That is, you can't lie flat and let things happen. It's about turning the wheel of fate, showing your will, and changing your destiny – and to do that requires enough wisdom, enough study and reading. By turning the lower part of the wheel of fortune, you can drive the higher level and finally reverse the entire wheel of fortune.

It is a tarot card that belongs to the path of wisdom.

The essence of the third material is "the cage broken by the bound intellect"; The fourth item is "the proof that a person who is approached by death can turn his fate around with great willpower."

Neither of these things is easy to find.

It's not just a matter of rarity...... And because no one will pay attention to this kind of thing, it is easy to buy the wrong material and then be deceived. For example, hospitals certainly don't know which mortally injured person will survive, so their medical waste must be piled up and thrown away.

In this case, how can I find a specific roll of bandage? And if it is contaminated with other people's blood or potions, perhaps its pure symbolism will also be tainted with it.

The same is true of the shackles used by the prisoners of wisdom - how wise can a person be considered wise? Could it have been that the shackles he had used had actually been lost or updated? Could there be anyone else in the middle who has used this shackle...... Let's say a fool who used it after that, leading to polluting its concept?

In order to find these two materials, they had a lot of work. "Proof of the tenacious will of those who reverse death" found a substitute - it was found by Hayna.

It was a bullet she had in the collection of a teacher in Bagpipe Town.

The bullet was taken out of his body by this teacher. He was once abducted and kidnapped by prisoners, and then he tried to escape on his own. As a result, it was unsurprisingly discovered by the kidnappers at a critical moment.

The kidnappers were already under siege and were in a hurry to escape, so they could not recapture him. But if he let the hostages escape, he was unwilling, so he shot him three times from a distance.

His marksmanship was actually average, but he was lucky that day. At a distance of at least thirty or forty meters, he was hit by three shots.

One shot in the ass and one in the thigh. The third shot hit him right in the chest.

As a result, the bullet was stuck in the middle of the teacher's heart and lungs at a very coincidental angle. However, it still punctured the artery, resulting in near-death death. Fortunately, the pastor was present at the time, and he was reluctantly saved.

But the priest's illumination couldn't get the bullets out directly. Later, the knife was reopened and the bullet was removed - and he almost died again. So he kept the bullet away as a "proof of good luck". He often brags about it to his own students.

It's hard to buy it, but luckily it's Hayna.

The teacher, who was already an old man, was very happy to see that his former student was now finally out of his life. Hearing that Haina needed it, she even wanted to give her the bullet directly...... It was Ivus who insisted on paying for it and bought it.

And the other material, they really don't have a clue.

So the decisive Hawena came up with a very unethical, but effective, good solution.

- She asked Ivas to report Sherlock directly for breaking the law, and transferred someone from the nearby Inspectorate to arrest the "newsboy".

The handicap Sherlock was full of question marks.

Later, Haina directly intervened, in the name of Sherlock Jr.'s involvement in another big case, and "personally escorted him to the Glass Island". Since his crime was not directly eliminated, the matter still had to be recorded - so the shackles could be considered "the shackles of the prisoner of wisdom".

Anyway, the prisoner's name must not be Shylock Hermes, but a name that Sherlock made up casually...... After all, he's using the identity of a child now. And when he advances again, this identity will no longer exist.

“…… Don't mention anything else," Ivas expressed his gratitude and gave a rather high evaluation, "Haina, your ability to do things has indeed improved. I really didn't expect it to be you the one who helped me find these two materials in the end......"

"I can't help it."

Haina smiled helplessly: "In that dream, I had to do everything. If you think about it too much, you have to make some changes. ”

She used to be the kind of person who liked to obey other people's orders. There is no need to think, and there is no need to be responsible, which is a very happy thing for people who do not have brains. There's no pressure on you, and you don't have to worry about paying if you do something wrong.

But if it's an emergency, she has to be asked to stand up...... She's not the kind of person who can drop everything and turn around and run away without caring about anything.

Over time, she honed it.

After that, Aihuas and the others hurriedly passed through the "villager passage" and returned to Eagle Cape Village directly on a griffin. When Ivas finished the pre-production work, it was preserved with sapphire powder.

Before you know it, the afternoon is turning to just before dusk.

Aihuas clearly felt a sense of crisis.

An undisguised killing intent loomed over him, and an ominous curse loomed into Ivus.

- Originally, they weren't sure when the punishment would come. And now there is no need to guess.

"I'm afraid it's the giant prince."

Ivas explained to the others in advance that it also made them feel a lot of pressure.

After completing the card making, Evas first uses his main body to summon the Flame Butterfly and turn it into a follower form...... Then the ritual array began to be carved.

Most protective rituals are probably useless against demon punishment. Its rank is too high, resulting in too much penetration. In the same way, curses are basically ineffective against it. Ritual spells are even less useful.

But pure strengthening rituals are still fine.

With the fresh ritual materials he collected, Ivas simply completed the blessing spell for a few people. This makes them more fortunate at all levels, not by much, but more generally.

Since mastering the sacred skill of "blessing", Ivas has hardly used it. After all, his battle is either crushing, external force, or a surprise attack...... This is also the first time he has a serious date.

Somewhat nervous.

Eivus also took out the potion that Yulia had prepared.

Ivus kept one bottle of the vitality potion, and gave the rest to Hayna. The Feather Drop Elixir was also given to Khaina, while the Petrified Elixir was given to Sherlock, and the snake venom potion was given to Lily.

The red-hilted sword was also pulled out by Ivus.

Its transmog effect lasts until the next sunset. Therefore, it is necessary to wait for the sun to set before activating, so that it can last for the longest time.

And after everything is ready.

Ivus frowned slightly.

He felt the discomfort coming from his body getting stronger.

It was as if some scythe had scraped over his scalp, and as if some mud cart was speeding past him—although he didn't feel any pain, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. There was a bad feeling that something was wrong.

He heard what seemed to be some kind of drum beat in his ears, and the pressure on his heart was getting stronger.

Ivus realized, it was a scrutinizing gaze—something was looking at him.

"The situation has changed," Ivus said with a sudden serious expression, "They seem intent on cursing me before they enter Cape Village." ”
