Chapter 5 The Curse

A faint cloud shadow flowed slowly, and above the dock, two young men stood quietly. Feeling the storm coming and the wind filled the building, the passengers who were still on the boat dared not come down again, and the coolies who were originally transporting goods were no longer approaching. Not far from Felix and Tang Yi, the main elf woman in a soap robe sighed slightly, lowered her head and did not speak, and the young man gradually laughed.

"Haha... OK, once you arrive at Danma, you will get such a big gain, so it's not a waste of time. The punch just now is the so-called Demon Swallow Wolf Kill? I am Edward Granas, the new guardian of the Temple of San Ilo War, report your name and fight me!"

Seeing the other party's fighting spirit and seeing the excited expression of Liexin, Felix smiled lazily, but waved his hand behind him, signaling Tang Yi to take Eve away.

"Al, let's... let's go quickly..." Hearing the other party's prominent identity, Eve, covered in water, showed a look of fear on her face, Tang Yi nodded and said to Eve: "Let's go first... be careful." The second half of the sentence was naturally directed at Felix. The two walked up the stairs above the dock, and Felix's voice slowly came.

"Everyone is a man, please be more savage. Just a fight, you have to sign up. Do you think it's engaged??"

As soon as he finished speaking, the white light lit up from behind like lightning. When he looked back, he saw the young man named Edward holding a long glass-like sword, and the light of electricity flowed around his body, like a god. Felix's body flew up in a mess under the protection of the golden light of the King's Dragon's body. This attack was actually at a disadvantage.

However, it is difficult to judge the strength of the strength through this competition. The young man's sword seemed quite powerful, and Felix did not even carry a weapon on his body today. The next moment, Felix scattered his body in the air and rushed forward again with a pale light. Suddenly, the dock was covered by the crackling sound of fighting. Felix didn't look like something was wrong for a moment. Tang Yi and Eve, who were soaked all over, squeezed out of the crowd and got into the carriage, and rushed to the residence in the middle and second area.

There was no replacement clothing in the car, and Eve looked very bad. She hid in the car and curled up. Tang Yi asked her a few questions, and she also made some unreliable short answers. After the carriage drove through a few blocks, a figure fell from the sky and sat next to Tang Yi. It was Felix who had just started the war.

There was nothing unusual in his expression at this moment, but the sleeve of his left hand seemed to be charred and ragged. He shook his head, lifted the curtain and looked at Eve inside, and then murmured: "I really love you, I actually encountered a magic weapon. I must fight him well next time... Hey, woman, are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Eve's thin and weak mosquitoes and flies came out of the car. Tang Yi asked in confusion: "A magical artifact?"

"The superior artifact of the Temple of War God's Temple of 'Holy Sword Purple Glass', hey, the Temple of War God was a temple that was on par with the Temple of Light God. It is said that in the era of the Holy Son Tianyi more than a thousand years ago, it could even be faintly above the Temple of Light God. But later it gradually weakened and eventually merged into the Temple of Light..." He spat disdainfully, and rubbed the messy hair on his head, "But no matter what, this knife is still very powerful."

"So you defeated?" Tang Yi said with a smile.

"Tsk, can a man as cool as me be defeated by a guy with inferiority in his heart??" Felix protested loudly, "It's just that there are other things today and I don't have time to play with him, and I haven't brought my guy out either. Well, it's really difficult if I'm empty-handed..."

Under the arrogant appearance of the young man, he actually had a very delicate inner self. This can be seen from his current admission that it was difficult to defeat the other party. Tang Yi thought of something in his mind, changed the subject and asked casually: "Felix, do you know Eve too?"

As soon as this problem arose, both inside and outside the carriage were a little confused. After a while, Felix said: "Don't you know that I collected the protection fee from the college? The second district of Zhongyi is so close to the college. She doesn't pay the protection fee every time I go to collect the protection fee. Of course I know her! This woman owe me a lot of money!"

Understanding Felix's character, Tang Yi naturally would not believe this explanation, but since he was unwilling to say it, he would not ask any more. After a while, the carriage arrived at the destination and Eve got off home. The two of them waited for her to take a shower and change into new clothes before leaving. The originally happy outing ended in this form. Looking at Eve's shabby cloak that was worn back on her body, Tang Yi wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.

He broke up with Felix in the middle of the journey. He drove back to his residence in a carriage. It was still early in the afternoon. Storm and Fu Jia lay in the shade of the tree and dozed off. In the two-story building, he pushed open the door of the bedroom, and the silver-haired woman slept peacefully on the big bed. He walked to the bed and sat down for a long time.

"...Xiaoxue, how wonderful it would be if the world was just our forest..."

"...Civilization originates from the collision of human beings, bringing communication and comfort. People gain the meaning of survival in the hindrance and being hindered, and at the same time they also produce so many ties and wounds... I know it is because the restlessness in my heart that initially broke the peaceful world. From the day you fell asleep, I understood, wake up quickly, you have always been accommodated by me, so it's better to treat it as a willful request..."

The soft sunlight passed through the window, and golden dust floated lightly in the air, and the boy's murmuring was low in the room.

"Wake up quickly..."

After a while, Christina's crisp voice rang outside the door.

***************************************************************

During dinner, Tang Yi told Furna about Eve's story.

In the aristocratic college, Furna has always been famous for her coldness, but after returning home, she no longer has any indifferent temperament. She spreads her beautiful long hair and wears a white gauze skirt, and has a gentle temperament of elegant home. She has always been gentle and almost flattering to Tang Yi. If others in the academy see it, she will definitely fall to her chin all over the floor. Cooking, washing and other family trivial matters often take half of each. At night, they will talk about what happened in a day. The little girl from the Duke's Mansion next door will be big.

All will be involved. Christina's talent for alchemy is really good. She often discusses new ideas with Tang Yi, or cooperates with Furna with a unique magic circle. However, in any case, it is a big taboo to disturb others' meals unless invited in aristocratic education, so the meal time is mostly a two-person world. After listening to Tang Yi's narration, Furna at the other end of the dining table was silent for a long time, and finally sighed softly: "Miss Eve is so pitiful... Although she may not need to pity such things..."

"Well, she is very brave. I just hope she will be happy in the future, otherwise the world will be unreasonable..."

Shortly after this conversation, late at night, a storm and anger roar came from the grass, and then a child's cry mixed with fear came from afar.

"Mr. Rezaduk...Mr. Al. Rezaduk... Are you here? Mr. Rezaduk, oh...Sister Eve is gone, Mr. Rezaduk..."

The one who came was a disabled child from Eve's family and brought a sheepskin letter with Eve's crooked comments: "Sorry, my sister has to leave. Everyone should be fine, don't look for me..."

"Woo... Sister Eve became so weird this afternoon. She talked a lot to us and made a lot of delicious food... She went out after dinner and didn't come back until the evening. We found this note and read it to the uncle next door... Everyone searched for her all night but couldn't find it. Woo... She didn't bring anything to eat, and there was no money in the piggy bank. As we thought about it, we could only come and beg you... Mr. Rezaduk, please help us find Sister Eve. She had a while of illness this evening, and it hurt so much..."

Amid the child's crying, Tang Yi gradually understood the general matter. But why did Eve leave? Her illness has been controlled and everything is getting better... But why does it still happen...

That night they searched for her traces in all places where Eve could go. With the storm and rage, the girl's breath disappeared above the cliff where the night wind was howling, and below were countless reefs and surging sea tides. All the messages showed that Eve jumped from here.

There is no corpse, this may be the only comfort.

The next morning, the sunlight seemed blurry and gloomy among the clouds. Tang Yi came to Mr. Barbara's house and asked about Eve about it. The middle-aged woman sitting in a chair smoking a cigar was not at all surprised.

"I thought last night that you should come here too..."

"What the hell is Eve going on? Didn't you say her condition has improved!?"

"That's a liar to you." Looking at him lightly, the middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes, "That girl doesn't want you to know. After all, you are trying to help her, and she hopes you can be happy. That's not a disease, it's a hopeless curse. At least for the time being, there is no fact that has been lifted..."

"curse……"

"I think you must have heard of it, too." Mrs. Barbara said lightly, "The devil's curse."

"What..." Recalling Eve's reaction when Edward said yesterday that there was an evil aura on his body, Tang Yi suddenly understood and asked with a dry throat, "Her curse... has it happened?"

"I think it has started to attack gradually. It should be just the beginning, but she herself should also realize that first of all, the strength should be strengthened, and some parts of her body began to appear, causing huge pain, and then people began to be bloodthirsty, their desire for meat increased. Then they would produce the final mutation, and they died because of the incompleteness of the curse itself after losing their nature." After bounced the ashes in the blink of an eyebrow, Mrs. Barbara continued, "I know what you will ask next. There should be two known solutions. The most direct one is to find the sacred object of the night fairy, the moon stone, which can be used to break all curses. The second is the ultimate artifact, eight-star molt, which is said to be enough to realize any wish, but at present, the possibility of finding two things is zero."

"Eight Stars... I'm afraid there's a way to do it..." After hearing her say, Tang Yi suddenly raised his head. He couldn't figure out what the eight Stars were. As for the moonstone, if he went to Lucini for help...

"Take it down, I know you have a friend of the executioner, but Moon Stone doesn't even know where the night fairy is now. Do you know who is the person in this world who has the deepest research on this curse, except for the original spiritual mage, is the one in this world who is currently studying the most profound curse?"

"Is it... Teacher Barbara, you?" Tang Yi asked tentatively.

"Tsk, I don't have time to study that kind of thing." Barbara shook her head, "It was the old man who taught Eve to play the piano. His friend was tortured by this curse for more than 20 years. He has been studying it for more than 20 years. As far as I know, he personally broke into Ed's platform more than ten years ago, and was regarded as a great enemy by the Night Fairy clan, but he still found nothing."

After a moment of unspeakable silence, Tang Yi asked with difficulty: "Is there no...a way?"

"What's the point of saying this now? Have you found Eve?"

Barbara once said that she also had her intelligence source, and she thought that the search for Eve this night had penetrated her ears. Tang Yi shook her head: "...but I didn't see her body. I wanted to find several large caves under the cliff, maybe..."

"Hey, the entire underground of Danma is a cave eroded by sea water. Even if you can mobilize all the forces under Katherine's men to search, you probably won't be able to find half of Eve's clothes." A smile appeared in her eyes, and then she asked, "But... do you really want to help her so much? Even if you get it afterwards, it is still an unchangeable result?"

Seeing the expression she showed, Tang Yi suddenly felt ecstatic and asked: "Teacher Barbara, are you..."
