Darkness roared at Jiang Li and kicked him. Jiang Li didn't even move, but she kicked him sideways and hit the bedpost.
"You are so weird. I heard that you were misunderstood before and said that you were slept with by the devil. Were you very excited at that time?"
Jiang Li rolled his eyes, showing a troubled expression.
"That, that's just..."
"Miss, what happened?"
Suddenly the servant's confused voice came from outside the door.
"It's okay! Nothing happened, I just couldn't help being angry!"
Darkness quickly blocked the servant's question and shushed Jiang Li harshly.
The eldest lady must have been under too much pressure recently, the servant thought sadly, and slowly withdrew.
"Okay, let's talk about what happened."
Jiang Li turned around and sat on Darkness' bed without any scruples, crossing his legs leisurely.
"Oh...I know."
Darkness wanted to say something else, but after thinking about it, she gave up her struggle.
"I'm getting married."
"Feel sorry."
"What are you suddenly apologizing for?"
"I think it's too early for me to get married."
Jiang Li waved his hands repeatedly, putting on a fighting expression that said, "I know you have a crush on me, but now I still want to do my career first."
"I want to get married, what does it have to do with you?"
Darkness stared at him dumbfounded, completely confused as to what he was thinking.
"...oh?"
Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.
In an instant, Darkness suddenly became excited.
She rubbed her arms and unknowingly got goosebumps all over her body. For some reason, the temperature of the room seemed to have dropped a lot.
"The engagement your father arranged for you?"
"No, my father will not force me."
Darkness shook her head, a warm color appeared on her face.
"I lost my mother when I was a child, and my father was often busy with state affairs. He always felt very ashamed of me and felt that he did not bring me a happy childhood. Although he always arranged various blind dates for me, he wanted to find me a reliable one.
But since what happened to the devil some time ago, he gave up and has been living freely with me since then."
Jiang Li also thought it was impossible. When Darkness was suppressed by the Demon King, it was her father who risked his life and went to the Little Demon King's City to fish for people.
Such a father is unlikely to arrange a marriage contract on his own initiative.
"In that case?"
"...There is something wrong with my father's health."
Darkness scratched her long blond hair, her face looking extremely irritable.
"His body has always been healthy, but he has been bedridden for some reason recently. When the doctor came to check, he couldn't find anything wrong. He is probably really close to his limit..."
"What about the possibility of a curse?"
Jiang Li asked aloud, without any hint of impatience in his expression.
"I've asked the bishop of Alice's religion to look at it, and he said it can't be a curse."
"Is he too good at it?"
"Pay attention to your wording. He is the most powerful priest in the world! Except for gods, no one is better at removing curses than him."
Darkness glanced at him speechlessly, knowing that you are powerful, but don't ignore everyone in the world.
Jiang Li didn't take it seriously and just continued to ask.
"Then someone comes and offers you a condition, saying that your father can be restored to health, but the condition is that you marry him?"
"Uh, how do you know?"
"You don't even have to guess."
Jiang Li curled his lips.
Just by hearing the beginning, he had already guessed the ending.
Half of the ten tauren books have this kind of plot!
"Take me to meet your father."
"this……"
"Is there any difficulty?"
"You can see my father if you want, but I hope you won't mention this in front of him."
Darkness looked hesitant, but still agreed to his request.
"I never told my father about this, I just didn't want him to worry."
I see.
No matter which man he is, if he knows that his daughter will marry a man he doesn't like for him, he will definitely suffer from myocardial infarction, hypertension and other complications.
She's just bedridden now, but once she learns about Darkness, she might break out on the spot.
Darkness poked her head out and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so she called Jiang Li out and took him deeper into the mansion. When she met anyone, she just said she was visiting friends.
"Right here."
She opened the door carefully and waved behind her.
Jiang Li walked into the room and immediately saw the old man lying on the bed. His eyes were closed tightly, his breathing was weak, his expression was pale, and his limbs and muscles were atrophied like a patient who had not exercised for a long time.
He had met this person before, more than a month ago when he came to the Demon King's City to fish for people.
It's just that at that time, he looked only 40 or 50 years old, still very young, and he was in good spirits after not sleeping all night, but now he looks haggard like an old man in his 70s or 80s.
"How is it? Can you see anything? Is it a curse?"
"Um……"
Facing Darkness' eyes full of expectation, Jiang Li groaned, looked at it carefully for a while, and then raised his head seriously.
"I can't see it!"
"Then you're looking at shit!"
Darkness couldn't help roaring, but when her father groaned and showed signs of waking up from his deep sleep, she quickly lowered her voice.
Jiang Li rolled his eyes.
He is not good at magic, magic, and is even more of a layman in spells. Even professional priests can't spot it. How can he still see strange things at a glance?
The real curse will never be like the black gas that keeps coming out in movies and animations, so you can see it at a glance!
"Although I can't see the curse, I can tell that your father's body has declined very abnormally. His organs don't have the vitality of his age at all. Even if it's not a curse, it must be something specious!"
It should be said that there is an 80-90% chance that it is a curse!
It's just that Jiang Li doesn't have any means to lift the curse. Hagoromo, which can prevent all abnormal interference, has also been returned to Aqua. The curry stick is not a limited-type artifact, and it cannot be used by unqualified people. He has nothing.
Although Zhan could remove the curse, it would also kill her father directly with one knife.
After all, if this is really a curse that even the world's strongest priest cannot lift, then all existing methods may be useless.
"Darkness, who is the person who made the condition to you?"
When he thought of this, Jiang Li suddenly had a realization.
A curse that even the most powerful priest in the world cannot detect. There are not many people in this world who can plant such a clever curse!
Combined with what Chris said a few days ago, Jiang Li had a vague suspicion in his mind.
"Aldap."
Darkness said the name with a gloomy expression.
"It's the man who bullies men and dominates women, commits all kinds of evil, has a terrible reputation, but there is never any evidence to expose him, and he is still at large to this day, the lord of Axel - Aldap!"
