"Miss, I'm actually very embarrassed...... If I had the ability, how could I have kept this time bomb?"

The middle-aged man untied the bandage that wrapped his right hand, revealing his right hand with a hideous wound.

"Oh, you just touched the sword with your hand, but it was only a hand injury?...... You've suppressed the chronic lethal curse into an immediate trauma, right? You've got a life back......

Aisha could still distinguish the curse aura wrapped around the other party's wound, the same curse hidden inside the sword, and put aside the hostility for the time being.

If you think about it, if the owner of a weapons shop really made such a thing with bad intentions, it would be too inexplicable to put it in the lobby, right?

"What the hell is going on?"

"That's a long story......" The man wrapped the bandage around his right hand again in annoyance, and looked at Aisha thoughtfully, "It's a bit presumptuous, but may I ask you, Miss, are you capable of helping me deal with that trouble?"

Aisha glanced at the other and silently walked in front of the gray sword, reaching out and grasping its hilt.

"This curse is really bad...... "The moment she felt her hand touch the hilt of the sword, a dark and obscure energy rushed towards her, Aisha frowned, and her tone was quite disdainful.

In Aisha's view, the most important thing about the curse is not its lethality, but its concealment and mystery - it is a thing used for conspiracy and conspiracy, if it is too conspicuous, even if it has the power of instant death, at best it can only kill the first few unlucky ghosts, and when exposed, it has no meaning. Just like the curse on this sword, although powerful, it is still easy to be discovered by some knowledgeable people, and even if the curse is successful to kill someone, it is very easy to find the connection between the dead and it.

The curse on this sword is obviously not qualified, although the power is good, but the person who casts the curse is only that level, Aisha does not take him to heart.

"I don't even understand the concealment, and when I see someone I can't provoke, I pounce on it like a mad dog...... That's enough. ”

The cyan wind surrounded Aisha's sword, and in the pale cyan, a trace of black continued to ooze from the blade.

"What a strong smell of death...... No wonder mochi feel the synchrony rate. ”

It was normal for a half-spirit from the underworld to feel familiar with this pure aura of the same origin - Lin seemed to understand something as she looked at the black substance, which was small but emitted an unusually strong aura of death.

"'Death' is the continuation of 'life', the destined end of all things in the trajectory of destiny after birth...... However, it is not surprising that a one-sided understanding of 'death' has created such a vicious trick. Aisha shook her sword, and a miserable wail could be faintly heard.

"Is it solved?"

Aisha threw the sword in her hand at the man, who reached out and caught it with his uninjured left hand—holding the sword again, the man didn't feel the cold and terrifying force that he had before.

"It's just some kind of petty trick, and if you know who is cheating on you like this, I can help you get rid of him - it just so happens that I don't have a good impression of these people. ”

Although she said so, Aisha's mind was actually ...... Help the shopkeeper get more rewards by getting rid of the enemy!

Unfortunately, the man shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what to do.

"I'm just the owner of a small workshop, how could I provoke a powerful person who can cast a spell on me?"

"To be able to retreat in front of such a fierce curse, you don't think too much of yourself...... Well, deliberately damning a piece of sale instead of targeting your routine doesn't look like it's going to kill you. ”

Originally, I wanted to try to ask if it would be a trick from a competitor in the business, but after thinking about it, they were just merchants who sold some ordinary weapons, so how could they have the means to invite a mage to curse people? Instead of casting a curse on the goods and destroying the reputation of the other party, it was better to directly curse the other party to death......

"Forget it, since I've already solved a problem for you, then you can pay me quickly. ”

"Ah, it's natural. After seeing Aisha's methods, the other party naturally did not dare to offend such a powerful mage, "Wait a while, I'll go and get the money." ”

......

"Lynn, you feel a little strange, right?"

As the shopkeeper went up to the second floor to withdraw the money, Aisha asked Rin, who was also thoughtful.

"Well, the sword is clearly from the weapon shop for its craftsmanship and style, and the shopkeeper is not likely to put such a curse on his wares...... I don't know much about curses, but if I analyze the motives, I always think that the behavior of the cursed guy is really strange......"

"I've thought about several possibilities, but I can't pass the motive hurdle - if it's for the store or the owner himself, the same means, the same money, the same energy, there is a more effective way. If I can't analyze it from a rational point of view of motivation, I can only think that it is a pervert who is not very mentally normal, and will run to other people's stores to curse the goods...... But with such ability, it is impossible to think that a madman like those perverted murderers......? What else does that guy do?' Curse this shop with a sword isn't directly related to his purpose?"

"Good job, it's just a pity that you don't know much about the psychology of curse lovers, otherwise you should have found the answer, right? Well, it's good to think of this, an open and unrestricted mind is a necessary quality for a good spellcaster. ”

Aisha raised her index finger and pointed at her temple, and said, "Lynn, you remember, when trying to figure out the other person's behavior, it is also important to imitate the other person's thinking - some crazy people have some perverted thinking that is different from ordinary people. Empathy, speculating on the opponent's intentions can even help you strike late in battle. Of course, to do this, you need to know the other person in depth, although most of the time you will face the enemy may not be someone you know well, but through some small details of the opponent, you can completely grasp their personality traits and some habits, and these are our advantages when fighting the other party. ”

"Curses are vicious and hidden, and those who are keen to use curses must have a tendency to manipulate behind the scenes, and at the same time are insidious and good at plotting, and most of the time, they will act confidently after everything has been calculated. This kind of person, when he makes a move, must have been fully prepared, and they have always tended to influence the general direction step by step through some small actions and small arrangements, so that the control is gradually in their own hands. On the other hand, from the danger of this curse, it can also be seen that this guy is a ruthless outlaw who does not spare people's lives, this kind of person is bloodthirsty and crazy, and he must prepare for the worst when he is an enemy, because what he does often goes beyond the bottom limit of ordinary people, and no matter how crazy things are, it is not impossible. If you add the two......"

"This guy...... The target is very big, is it the whole city?And recently, Nazca City also happens to have such a big event as a 'trade rally', usually anomalies and conspiracies tend to be big events......" After Aisha's analysis, Lin seemed to think of something, "No! If it is an event like a trade rally, there are usually many times, and it is not directly related to such a conspiracy, and besides, the situation of Nazca City is complicated, so it is not so easy to stir up the situation...... If there is anything different about this year's trade rally than in previous years......"

Suddenly figured it out, Lynn was about to excitedly say her guess, when Aisha smiled and stretched out her left hand to cover Rin's lips, while making a silent gesture with her right hand, and then pointed to the stairs.

Although it is not very secret information, it doesn't matter if the other party hears half a word, but in order to avoid some trouble, Lin still nodded and said that he understood.

"Anyway...... Upstairs seems to be a bit of a buzz?

Both of them have good hearing, and although the soundproofing is good, Aisha and Lin are aware of the slight argument upstairs.

"Bang!" was the sound of the door being slammed open.

Then, with a hurried "click" sound of descending the stairs, a fiery figure rushed down from the staircase.

"You're the one who solved the problem with that sword, and I'm going to go with you to the soul who cursed my work...... Dad, don't stop me! Dare to curse my work, this guy I'm going to burn something on his ass with a soldering iron!"

“......”

“......”

Uncle, how could you get a money and run to your daughter's room-uh, could it be that the family's funds are actually managed by your daughter?】

Aisha looked at the tall figure helplessly, compared the aura of the father and daughter, and gave a conclusion properly.
