Chapter 18 The Abandoned
Xia Silan was startled when he heard this, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked: "What can I do?"
Vincent turned to look at Wei En and said, "Wei En, what do you think about this?"
Ruola raised her eyebrows and said hurriedly: "By the way, I remember that Vincent was cursed and dying in York City last time. Didn't you save him?"
Wei En smiled bitterly: "Ruola, last time Vincent survived, it was purely a mistake. I don't even know how I saved people. What's more..." He remembered Zhu Qing's words: "Being able to save people under your control
There is a curse in my blood, and I still can’t do this skill now, let alone how to save it.”
Ruola's face darkened and hesitantly said: "Then can you try it?"
"I don't even know what kind of curse you have, so even if I want to try, it's hard to do it." Wei En said helplessly with an apologetic look on his face.
Xia Silan listened to their conversation and was secretly surprised. He didn't expect that of Ruola's two friends, one was extraordinary in martial arts and the other knew how to curse. He had never heard of anyone other than the royal family being able to master this mystery.
Spell: "I heard my father mention its origin, you can listen to it."
"Genesis records that after Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden, they came to the wilderness and gave birth to two children. The eldest brother, Cain, was a farmer, and the younger brother, Abel, was a shepherd. Due to the difference in sacrifices, Cain was angry and murdered his younger brother.
The next day God asked Cain where his brother had gone, but he pretended not to know. Then God said angrily: 'Squibly! Your brother's ghost cried out to me about your atrocities, so you have to accept my punishment! You will be cursed, and you will be damned.
The earth, the earth will no longer work for you and produce those wonderful fruits and vegetables. Everyone will despise you. You will wander in the wilderness, fearful and restless all day long. I will give you a unique mark, so that you
It will let others know that you should not be killed - just torture you as much as possible. Remember, you are an abandoned person who will never be redeemed.'" Shasilan paused, looked at the people in front of him and said, "It is said that,
This curse is called Millennium Abandonment."
Wei En murmured: "A thousand years of abandonment, a thousand years of abandonment." His ancient sheepskin scroll recorded this curse, which belonged to the category of mid-to-high-level spells.
Everyone was silent, the flames of the candles on the table were burning straight, and it seemed that no air flow could be felt in the room. Vincent suddenly said: "Mr. Summerland, when we walked into the underground, we saw a very fast
Bai Ying, is that your person?"
Xia Shilan said: "Yes. Since the onset of the curse, our bodies have gradually begun to change. Some have become extremely powerful, while others have become extremely fast, which is completely beyond the capabilities of normal people."
Ruola asked: "When we entered the castle, we heard some crying sounds. Do you know about this?"
"Those are adventurers locked in the dungeon. We have modified the air duct leading to the ground. As long as a stranger enters the castle, we will fully open the air duct. If those people are crying, the sound will be carried along with the wind.
On the ground, it can also be regarded as a warning to uninvited guests."
"How many people are you still locking up now?"
"There are not many left. In recent years, fewer and fewer adventurers have come to the castle. There are only a dozen people left in the dungeon."
"What are you going to do when there are no more of them left?"
Xia Shilan was silent for a while and said slowly: "I don't know, I can only take it one day at a time."
Wei En considered: "Xia Silan, I need some time to deal with your curse."
Xia Shilan showed a smile: "Mr. Wei'en, after so many years, I finally see my own people again today and can tell us about our painful experience. No matter what the outcome is, I thank you for your help."
After dinner, Wei En stood next to the window of a cleaned bedroom. Vincent sat on a chair and said: "Wei En, I hope you can try your best to find a way to solve the curse on them, otherwise it will happen in the future.
It’s very difficult to deal with, because in a sense, this is actually a killer left by the royal family to deal with humans.”
Wei En turned to look at him and said, "You tell me."
"Sul is the first generation to suffer from the curse. He also has a strong conscience and can use methods such as ending his own life to fight against the arrangements of fate. In the generation of his son Shasilan, although he still feels guilty about sucking blood
attitude, but they will no longer pay the price of their lives to resist the curse. If this continues, I am afraid that their next generation, or the next generation, will one day accept this curse and regard the habit of blood-sucking as a way to maintain life.
Nature needs it.”
Wei En said: "What you said makes sense. Judging from my knowledge about curses, this kind of hereditary curse often has extremely strong mutations in the third generation. When the curse gives power, it will gradually change them.
The structure of the body, in the end, although these people still have the appearance of humans, in fact, their thoughts and behaviors no longer belong to human society."
"In other words, these people will become slaves of the devil and can only survive in darkness forever." Vincent said.
Wei En shook his head and said: "Maybe. Alas, using such a vicious curse shows the way the royal family behaved in the past. Anyone who does unrighteousness will be killed. No wonder the royal family ended up being destroyed."
Vincent was silent for a while and said: "Think about it for yourself, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, he turned and left the room.
Wei En did not speak. He stared at the dark night scene outside the castle. The city of Massa at the foot of the mountain was brightly lit at the moment. Compared with the dark and quiet environment around the castle, it was almost two different worlds. The dry night wind enveloped the small
Stone particles blew on his face, which made him feel painful and itchy, making him unspeakably irritated.
Wei En turned around and walked to a table, placed the dagger on the table and said, "Zhu Qing, are you there?"
"Why are you looking for me?" After a while, Zhu Qing's lazy voice sounded in Wei En's ears.
Wei En smiled: "I need your help on this matter."
Zhu Qing pondered for a moment and said: "Weien, I have already told you that I cannot solve this level of curse."
"I know. But based on your experience, how do you think I should start?"
"Let me think about it. Well, Wei En, have you ever thought about what was the catalyst for this curse to occur?"
"Catalyst?" Wei En was stunned when he heard this...
"Yes, catalyst. Doesn't any curse require a catalyst?"
Wei En said slowly: "The catalyst for thousand years of abandonment is that if you leave the five hundred miles radius of the Xihui Mountains and do not return after one or two years, the curse will occur."
"Why Xihui Mountains?"
"I heard from Old Tour that they were slaves of the royal family in the ancient city of Pompeii, and the city of Pompeii disappeared in the Xihui Mountains, so they cannot leave too far from the Xihui Mountains."
"That's it... Wei En, as far as I know, although the curse is magical, it cannot make an entire mountain range or an ancient city become a catalyst. You must know that only the power of God can control rivers, mountains and rivers, such huge substances without life consciousness.
.”
"You mean, the real catalyst is something else?"
"I suspect that the media of this curse is probably a certain sacred object in Pompeii. Once it is out of the influence of this sacred object, the curse will occur after a while."
Wei En muttered: "I think your guess is probably correct, and it also conforms to the rules of setting a curse."
Zhu Qing said: "If this is really the case, Wei En, although you are unable to solve the millennium abandonment, you can reset the catalyst of the curse through the holy objects to temporarily stop the curse. When one day, your ability improves, you can
Let’s help them solve this problem.”
Wei En raised his eyebrows and said with a happy face: "This is a good idea, maybe it will work. I know the incantation that has been abandoned for thousands of years, but where can I find the holy objects?"
"Don't you have the Star Revelation? It's part of the Sunbird Royal Family's sacred relics."
Wei En was startled and said: "Part of the royal family's sacred objects?"
"I remember that the name of the sacred object of the Sunbird is the Laurel Crown of the Goddess. It seems to be composed of two parts. The Star Revelation in your hand should be one part of it."
Wei En took out the Book of Star Revelation from his arms and held it in his palm. The white jade ring showed a faint sparkle in the candlelight, and a warmth spread into Wei En's palm.
Zhu Qing said: "Yes, that's it. You use the Star Revelation to re-set the curse on them. If successful, their bodies will return to the normal state before the curse occurred."
Wei En smiled happily: "Thank you. Zhu Qing, if it really succeeds, I will remember you for your great contribution!"
Zhu Qing's disdainful voice came slowly: "If it weren't for the fact that you are helping others, no one would help you!"

In a remote canyon at the foot of the castle mountain, many tents are hidden in the shadow of the mountain wall. A large group of horses are circled behind the tents, chewing hay and drinking water; some burly men with sabers at their waists are leaning against the trees and rocks.
Dozing next to him, there were several guards patrolling on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon. Not far away on the mountainside, the towering Castle of Saramento looked like a ghost in the mountains under the moonlight.
An excited red-bearded man walked into the camp and said: "Renas, our spy just came back to report that he found a light burning in a room in the castle. He looked closer and saw a man standing next to the window.
He seems to be the same Wei En who goes out of the city and enters the castle during the day."
After hearing this, Renas frowned and thought: "Has he already subdued Richelieu? This Wei En seems to be really not simple."
Redbeard shrugged and said: "Tonight is not over yet, maybe Richelieu hasn't appeared yet. But it's good, it saves us a lot of trouble. It's easier to deal with three living people than some ghost."
Renas said: "Brother, when do you plan to take action?"
"I plan to rush in with my brothers after dawn tomorrow. I want to see people alive and corpses even if they are dead!"
"The brothers have been on the road without rest all day and night, and are very tired. Why don't we repair it tomorrow. Anyway, we have sealed the road, so we are not afraid of them escaping. We can just cut some more wood as a tool for attacking the city to prevent them from stubbornly resisting."
"Second brother, you are too cautious." Redbeard said disapprovingly: "There are only three of us, including a little girl. How can we still resist us? I will let the brothers have a good sleep tonight.
Just capture Wei En tomorrow and then go to Massa City to have fun."
Renas wanted to say something else, but after looking at Redbeard's face, he sighed and stopped talking.
