Avas reached out to touch the petrified good Lord, and his fingertips emitted a glow of purifying curse.
His face was full of mercy, but this emotion did not originate from the petrified good Lord.
As Avas touched the stone statue, the scales peeled off, revealing pieces of flesh and blood.
The originally gray-white stone statues gradually got color.
——But at this moment, Aivas suddenly stopped treatment. It was as if the operation was halfway through, and it ended abruptly.
But at this moment, the good Lord of Yanjiao City had recovered some of his mind.
His face showed a terrifying and distorted look, like a person who had been slowed down several times or dozens of times, trying his best to avoid the poisonous snake that was approaching him. As a result, not only could he not avoid it, but the poisonous snake also climbed onto his limbs. When he looked at the poisonous snake that was wrapped around his limbs and gradually approaching his heart, this was almost the same expression.
He tried hard to swing his limbs and break free from the shackles of petrification. But he couldn't do this at all.
Some of the joints of the Good Lord cannot be tortuous because they are petrified. The limbs that subconsciously forcefully make a crunching sound, and the joints make a crack sound that makes people teeth sour. Some of the Adam's apples still petrified unconsciously make an inhuman roar: "I... save... life..."
It is different from the solidification of Yingke Point Village.
The petrified curse brought by the Good Lord of Heaven City does not mean that time is frozen. The petrified person can still clearly realize that he has been petrified, but he cannot move at all. He can only maintain this posture and fall into a chaotic sleep... until the end of time.
——It is more like "sleeping" than "pause".
And he was sleeping in a nightmare that he could not wake up...
For some reason, Avas suddenly thought of Amber at that moment.
Because of the severe pain of bent bones and torn muscles, the fat man and good master quickly woke up.
Although the good masters are cruel and bloodthirsty, they are by no means stupid, and they can even be said to be smart - they may be tyrants, but they cannot be foolish.
After all, the power of these good masters is inherited from the taboo wizard, which is also a branch from the Tower of Heaven. Taboo spells were once also a kind of spell. Being able to master these forbidden techniques is enough to prove that their brains are very good.
In addition, many good masters also worked part-time as a magician, and rituals also require long-term learning, adaptable wisdom and rich association and imagination - which naturally also includes the good master Afuxin of Iwaji City.
The ritual paintings in the palace were made by him.
That's why he put it in a place that everyone can see... on the one hand, it is to show off his authority that he can kill at will, and on the other hand, it is to demonstrate his wisdom and artistic cultivation.
At this moment, he had just recovered his mind and understood everything in an instant - why he was in this state, where did this curse come from, what kind of power the person who appeared in front of him had... and why he stopped healing only halfway through his treatment.
——This is blackmail. It can also be said to be kidnapping.
"Save me...a noble and great priest! Please save me! I am willing to pay no matter what the price!"
The good Lord immediately begged for mercy with a humble and respectful attitude: "Whether it is gold or jewelry, spice or fish sauce... or slaves, power or lost knowledge, I can give you what you want! No matter what kind of wealth it is, I will give you! Even in this palace, you can move everything you want!
"I am Afuxin, 'Honest Afuxin'! Everyone knows that I am an honest person... If you don't believe me, you can free the seal from outside at will and ask him if I promised it! Please, please be generous and save me!"
The good Lord Afuxin's words were quite organized.
First, he gave a respectful attitude, then pointed out that the price he could give was everything, and then pointed out that he had a good reputation of "doing what he said"... Just in two or three seconds, he could have such a level of reaction and performance, which was enough to prove that he was indeed a talent.
And Evas just stared at him and showed a gentle smile: "Okay."
The good Lord Afuxin showed a happy expression on his face.
But Aivas added at this time: "Since that's the case, I'll ask for some knowledge."
"Please say, benefactor!"
The good Lord Afuxin showed an innocent and honest expression on his face, his black and shiny eyes were as bright as stars, but his voice was rough and hoarse: "No matter what kind of knowledge it is, as long as it is something I have, as long as it is something I can get, I am willing to give it to you!"
"You must have, Lord Afxin."
Aivas smiled: "I want to be the knowledge of the good Lord."
Upon hearing this, the smile on Afuxin's face instantly frozen.
But that was just a moment—after he smiled awkwardly, he immediately smiled more enthusiastically, and said in a hoarse voice that was flattering and constantly breaking the sound: "Of course—no problem! I will not only teach you everything about being a good Lord myself, but also try my best to help you build or occupy a city-state! You just need to save me..."
"There's no hurry, sir. Please tell me the relevant knowledge first."
The friendly smile on Evas's face did not change at all: "Please believe me too - I am Evas, Evas Moriarty. If you don't know this name...will you be much more familiar with it if you mention the 'the only person in human beings who have become the Pope forever'?
“I think my name is credible enough. Even if it takes a little time…but no matter what physical problems or hidden dangers you have, I can cure them all.
"—Just as if I could dispel the curse imposed by Adil of the sixth level."
Aivas's words were almost the same as those said before by the Good Lord Afhin.
But when he heard this, Afuxin's face showed a look of fear and complexity.
He let out a monster-like cry with his partially petrified throat, and kept begging for mercy: "Only this, only this... Please change your request! I can do anything!"
"Why not?"
But Avas just asked calmly: "Is it because you made an oath to stop teaching others? Or do you don't know how to teach others? Or are there other reasons?"
"It's not an oath, not an oath, sir—"
Afu wailed: "It's not me... it's not me that I don't want to teach you. It's impossible for you to learn it! If this technique was so simple, wouldn't the desert be full of oasis long ago!"
"Although it sounds reasonable, your fear can't be curbed."
Avas looked at Afxin's eyes and kept asking in a warm voice: "Why is this happening? Are you afraid that I will not learn it, and will be angry and cause trouble for you? Or are you worried that I will shake your authority after learning this skill? Or are you worried that if you leak your knowledge, you will be liquidated by other good masters? Or is it because I will learn this skill itself, which will be detrimental to you?"
When asked this, Evas clearly noticed that Afxin's pupils magnified for a moment.
Fear comes out from it—
"Oh, it seems that's the case."
There was no need for the other party to respond. Aivas smiled and continued to ask himself: "Then why would it be bad for you if I learned this skill? Yuan Tiansi's contract is a number, and each contract can only be inherited at the same time? Or is it because one person must die to pass on the knowledge to the next person?
"...It seems that's the case. How is this done? Your knowledge is engraved in the soul? It's in flesh and blood? What do you need to learn this knowledge or sign a contract? It's really...what exactly is it needed? Heart? Head?"
Afuxin's pupils contracted like needle tips in the dark, trembling constantly, and beads of sweat seeped out from under the unpetrated skin, emitting oil.
Avas only needs to sense the other person's thoughts from Afxin's instinctive response.
He can force the answer he wants through a series of "yes or no" questions.
——There is no need to distinguish lies, nor do you need to pry your mouth open to get the other party’s reply.
At the moment when he could not escape, Aivas took away his mind.
