Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Gray Ring
Seeing that several people were moving, Parkinson smiled and said, "What's the matter, you won't be afraid of a few corpses from a thousand years ago." ”
"How is that possible!" Sanders, who had been despised before, returned to the game and mustered up the courage to step forward, wanting to save some face.
Niri did the same as she thought, and she raised her feet to catch up.
Seeing the reckless appearance of the two people, Leo hurriedly said, "Wait, it's better to check it first." ”
"Why do you have to check?" Sanders didn't know why, but the trust he had always had in Leo made him stop.
After the trap that just blocked the door, Leo has become more and more cautious. In his previous life, he had heard of the laws of the dark forest, but he didn't expect that he would really encounter them, but the current situation is completely consistent with the laws of the dark forest, and even in this world with supernatural powers, the laws of the dark forest are almost everywhere.
For example, in this ruin, according to the information provided by Parkinson, there are at least three teams. But Leo doesn't know who they are, he doesn't know where they are, and he can't tell if they're aggressive, so he has to hide carefully.
At the same time, Leo is well aware that as long as the other teams are not all stupid, they will have this kind of speculation. Leo couldn't tell what they would do after coming up with such a guess, eventually forming an infinite loop of suspicion. This will lead to a fierce collision if the two teams meet, which is the last thing he wants to encounter.
After all, a living person is always more dangerous than a dry corpse.
The remains of the Hand of Sulla are huge, but in order to find the Blood Altar, it is still inevitable that the rabbits will encounter other teams, so ensuring everyone's combat effectiveness now is one of the most important tasks.
Without explaining anything to Sanders, Leo went directly to two meters in front of the dry corpse and radiated his spiritual power. Then he ordered: "Professor, detect whether the object in front of you has the characteristics of life, whether it has toxins or substances harmful to the human body." ”
The professor immediately replied, "The order has been accepted, the system is being analyzed, please be patient." ”
Taking advantage of this time, Leo injected magic into the magic model he had just built, and recited a spell composed of five syllables, and after a slight fluctuation of mana, a faint opalescent circle of light enveloped several dried corpses.
Prophecy is a second-level magic. Primary: Lift the curse
Vicky recognized the magic, blinked his eyes, and said, "How could you be so out of the way." ”
Without waiting for Leo to answer, Sanders had already preemptively said, "You don't know this guy, he's just a perverted learning freak, how many new magic have you learned this school year? There are twenty, right?"
The spell had been cast, and just waiting for the result, Leo replied, "Not so many, only thirteen." And nine of them were not cured, but only learned the magic model. ”
But even so, Wiki muttered, "You're a pervert......"
He thinks he has excellent talent, and he has been in the magic academy for half a year. I only learned 4 new spells, and the rest of the time had to be spent dealing with a wide variety of courses.
What's more, the magic of lifting the curse is really not commonly used, because only shamans who worship the spirits of the ancestors are rejected by the spirits of the ancestors as blasphemous shamans. Or when a pastor of a positive god spits on his original god and becomes a fallen priest, he will have a certain chance. Master the power of the curse.
From the current point of view, curse is a negative energy that is contrary to the power of faith, it is extremely difficult to detect, but it can subtly affect the mind, behavior and physical health of normal people. When these effects slowly accumulate to a certain extent, they eventually erupt and cause irreversible damage.
Therefore, although there is such a thing as a curse, it is really rare, and few mages will learn it in the early stage.
Facing the surprised Wiki, Leo just shook his head.
It's not that he's deliberately pretending to be deep in front of a few people, but because he knows his situation better than most. With excellent learning methods and the assistance of professors, I really far surpassed others in learning magic at a faster rate. However, he also knew that he was not really a peerless genius, at most he was a person with good talent.
Even in the not top-notch Riveton School of Magic, there are at least three or five people who are talented above him, let alone a place where geniuses like St. Lauren gather, but their learning methods and minds are not mature enough, so Leo can stand out.
In fact, Leo doesn't care about comparing himself to others, but for the sake of his future and the people he cherishes, he must firmly grasp his advantages, occupy a more advantageous position, and obtain more resources to move forward.
At this point, the curse had been checked, and the Professor's message had just returned, and Leo put his thoughts behind and refocused on business. But no one saw that Lulu, who was hidden in the shadows at the end of the line, had a gleam in her eyes, and she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips as if she was thirsty.
The professor said in his consciousness: "Systematic analysis, no harmful substances to the human body have been detected, please feel free to eat." ”
"Eat ......" Leo imagined himself eating dried corpses, and his stomach churned. Hurriedly suppressing the discomfort, he spoke: "Okay, no problem, but I think it's better not to touch it with your hands, let's dismantle this table and get a few stretchers." ”
"Okay, I've got some cloth here, and everyone in the council has it in hand. Parkinson didn't think it was troublesome for Leo to do this, but felt that it was very appropriate, and in such a strange environment, he couldn't be too careful. Although he had known that Leo was unusual, he had been completely impressed by the young man along the way.
I don't know if it's the reason for the phantom curtain, except for the fact that all the water has evaporated, the things here are quite well preserved, and the wooden table that has lasted for thousands of years still maintains a good hardness, but under the destruction of powerful warriors and paladins, it quickly becomes a stretcher.
The crowd stepped forward, wrapped their hands, and then carried several dried corpses onto the stretcher.
However, what they didn't expect was that the clothes on the corpse's body seemed to be intact, but once they touched it, they drifted away like dust and fell all over the ground in a blink of an eye, revealing a shriveled and blackened body to everyone.
Leo held his breath to prevent the dust from being inhaled into his lungs, but he was very curious about what happened to these people when they died, but so far, he had not found anything and had no guesses.
At this time, the stretcher had just been lifted, and suddenly a terrified scream rang out, and then Viki jumped away violently and almost fell to the ground.
His behavior made several people chuckle in their hearts, and they almost threw the stretcher out.
Leo reacted the fastest, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Vicky pointed to the stretcher and said in shock: "There is a hand that grabs me......"
Leo looked in the direction he was pointing, only to realize that there was no hand grabbing him at all, but that when he moved the dried corpse just now, it was probably not placed, and the arm of the female corpse hung down, just hitting Vikki.
Is there such an opportunity, Sanders laughed a few times and said, "Vicky, you are so cowardly. ”
Vicky stared at the female corpse for a long time, making sure that she showed no signs of awakening, and suddenly realized that he had made a joke, and let out a long breath.
However, he really couldn't accept being ridiculed by Sanders, and immediately retorted: "Am I cowardly? If it was you just now, I would have to pee my pants!"
Sanders pouted: "What are you kidding, I've adapted to this place, there won't be any more problems, it's you, you were lucky before......"
Before he finished speaking, the little fat man found that Leo had also let go of his hand carrying the stretcher, went around to the wiki, and squatted down.
"What's wrong?" several people were a little puzzled.
Leo pointed to the hanging hand and said, "Look. ”
The wiki was in the best position, and it was quick to see Leo's findings: "This is ...... Rings?"
It turned out that the woman had a gray metal ring on her middle finger, on which was a triangular emblem, but it was very similar to the color of her skin, so no one noticed.
Parkinson also came over, waited until he saw the ring clearly, patted his head violently, and said loudly: "I'll just say it, I'll say it!"
"What did you say?" asked Leo, for some reason.
"Come on, come on, put the stretcher down first. Parkinson said as he thought about where the female corpse had just sit.
It was a stone seat, and it was firmly anchored to the ground.
Looking at the triangular grooves on the armrest, Leo muttered, "You mean, you can turn on a switch with that ring?"
"It should be so, many big families have this kind of secret room. Parkinson replied and asked expectantly, "Do you want to try it?"
Vicky immediately nodded and said, "You should try it, this house is very good, the owner probably has some status, maybe we can find something from the secret room." ”
Leo thought for a moment, and felt that there was some truth in what the two said, so he agreed: "Okay, then try, but everyone must be on the highest alert, God knows what will happen next." ”
"Of course. "Parkinson's returned to the female corpse at a speed that did not match her body shape at all.
Everyone only felt that their eyes were slighted, and the gray metal ring had been taken off by him, and they didn't know how many years they would have to train for this technique alone. Leo was sure that if Parkinson wanted to steal his stuff, he couldn't defend himself.
…………
"Ready, I'm going to put it down. Parkinson looked around and saw that everyone was looking vigilant, so he did not hesitate to set the emblem on the groove of the ring. (To be continued......)
