Arad's crooked savior

The area of ​​a floating island is so vast. There are already mountains and ridges on the ground, and there are dark passages crisscrossing the ground, like a maze of twists and turns.

Even if the adventurers are very active and full of courage, they dare to dive into no matter how dangerous the place is~ But it is estimated that it will take at least ten days and a half, otherwise it will be impossible to obtain the most basic results of the investigation.

Feng Ying and Xiaoyu were reluctant to part with the gold in front of them, but they didn't want to be infected by the curse of Venus, the goddess of beauty, so they endured their pain and found some floating stones and went back. They couldn't return empty-handed.

"Speaking of which, why don't we just spend the gold we find and just spend it? Go buy barbecue!" Sophie suggested smartly, or sell the cursed gold to Krent and make him bankrupt.

"No." Xiaoyu shrugged helplessly, thought for a moment, and explained: "The oracle's ability tells me that the golden curse is triggered not because of the gold itself, but because of your greed."

The more cursed gold is obtained, the more unfortunate the person's future luck will be.

The acquisition of cursed gold is a kind of "windfall from heaven". The dwarves reported the love affair between "Narcosus and Lydia" and obtained a mine with astonishing content from the goddess of beauty Venus.

More than a thousand years ago, the dwarves were crazy about the value of gold. They used the rich gold resources in the mines to amass huge wealth and built a majestic Noipera that was no less than the "Dark City".

When the dwarves were at their peak, they once conquered the territory of the Spider Kingdom, and their glory was incomparable, comparable to that of the dark elves.

This was a simple process of asking for money, which eventually led to Aragon leading his army into Neupera and killing Augustus, the most greedy character. The dwarves were also in despair.

The dozen grams of gold that seems so close now is also an act of greedy acquisition. Those who pick it up will definitely pay the same price in the future. This is the curse of Venus, the goddess of beauty.

The more gold you get, the heavier the price you pay.

But if unsuspecting merchants obtain these cursed gold through equal transactions, there will be no unexpected situation.

Therefore, the golden curse of Venus is not so much a problem with gold itself, but rather the greed caused by the use of the wealth attributes represented by gold.

After all, it was a curse from the gods, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with being cautious. After seeing the scenery from above, Sophie muttered that she was hungry and didn't have enough food.

…

Xia Plun's access rights, which were only opened in the morning, attracted the hearts of countless adventurers. In the afternoon, an accident occurred, and a terrifying thing was born deep underground on the floating island.

Those adventurers who fled back in panic said that the tyrant Augustus, the leader of the dwarves who had been dead for thousands of years, had mysteriously resurrected in the place where he was buried.

Augustus, contrary to the normal situation of the dwarves who are short and stout, he is very tall and burly, with demon horns, strong arms, and an evil aura. He holds a heavy ax that can easily split stones. .

The tyrant Augustus suddenly resurrected from the altar, carrying a strong curse aura all over his body, making those who came close to him weak and mentally weak, catching everyone by surprise.

Some people who were greedy for gold lost their fortunes and drank on the spot, with blood splattered all over the ground. Even the adventurers who were lucky enough to escape and come back all looked pale and dying.

And a dark elf guard who accompanied them also had various horrific adverse reactions. Their teeth turned yellow, their hair fell out, and some people had mushrooms growing on their faces. They were in a state worse than death.

After the horrifying news spread, the entire Dark City was panicked for a while, and they had no idea what happened on the floating island to cause all kinds of terrible situations.

Because of Queen Meia's open and open policy, the Dark City is now not only the home of the dark elves, but many humans also live here, treating it as their second home after the era of destruction.

Moreover, the floating island is an existence suspended in the sky, and its geographical location is condescending. If an abnormal destruction occurs, the Dark City below will naturally bear the brunt.

So after various considerations, some people began to be dissatisfied with the Dark Elves' city closure policy and demanded that the city gates be opened to allow free entry and exit.

Otherwise, once the danger comes, the city's millions of people will fall into a very dangerous situation and make the same mistake as Hutton Mar.

In response to this, Chapron not only failed to be vigilant, but once again publicly declared that whoever can solve the trouble at the Tyrant Altar and kill the tyrant Augustus will receive his generous reward.

There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and naturally some people are eager to try again.

…

"The old man seems to have done it on purpose. It's impossible that he didn't know the curse of gold, but he didn't say a word." In the corner of the Dark City Square, Gu Yu danced a dagger on his fingertips and glanced coldly at Sharp in the distance. Lun glanced at him.

To be fair, people who don't know the inside story of the curse will definitely not be polite when they see the gold that can be taken.

In fact, this is not a natural greed, it can only be said to be an instinct to pursue wealth, the difference between taking more and taking less.

As bystanders, they saw Shaplen's conspiracy and ambition.

Currently, the residents of Dark City think that Queen Meia is negotiating a peace treaty with the imperial envoys at the palace. However, the fact is that the queen is not in Dark City at all.

Then he closed the city, opened the floating island, deployed the army, and recruited adventurers. Xia Plun's various actions were clearly exercising the power of the monarch.

When the group of "brave men" who were heavily rewarded also fled back in defeat, Chapron immediately defined the resurrection of the dwarf king Augustus as a "national-level" critical incident, and then put the entire city on alert, which once again verified this guess.

The Queen failed to show up to take command during the crisis. If Chapron could handle this crisis perfectly, his reputation would be greatly improved.

If the peace treaty with the Empire breaks down again, or the Dark Elves are put into a situation that is unfavorable to the treaty, Queen Meia's reputation may plummet.

…

Suddenly, a ray of music sounded like a clear spring flowing over a stone, soothing and moving, soothing the uneasy mood of everyone in the square.

Alice held the Demonic Sage in her arms. She had a beautiful appearance and extraordinary temperament. She said softly to the people she attracted: "The dead are resurrected, the palace is bursting from the ground, and the source of all changes is caused by the apostles."

"Poet Alice? What are you talking about?" Chaplen hurried over, frowning slightly, wondering why she suddenly appeared in the palace square.

He actually respects Alice's ability, but it's really not a good time for her to appear now.

"Elder Xia Pulun, my predictions all come from the magic piano poems. Although there is no specific definition, the general direction is still correct. The top priority now should be to let down our guard and let everyone work together."

Alice was very serious in explaining the prophecy she had seen. With her beautiful and delicate face and curvy and proud figure, it was easy to gain the trust of others.

On one side is the beautiful and mature lady, and on the other side is the old man who is rigid and sinister. You don't have to think twice to decide which side you want to stand on.

Moreover, another tragedy happened before, and the adventurer began to demand an explanation from Xia Plun, otherwise he would not be able to let it go.

…

"Alice is lying, or in other words, she can't help herself and doesn't mean what she says." Ye Lin saw through Alice's weird state at a glance.

"Boss, are you saying that Sister Alice is still being manipulated by Held?"

"Well, part of Alice's prophecy is a lie."

Kahn once sacrificed five copies of the Darkness of the Beginning to the abandoned ancient world. After Ye Lin's recent exploration, it was determined that one of them came from the Plague Dirich.

In other words, Di Ruigi in the mirror dimension was already dead. It was ruthlessly killed by Kahn during the transfer process, leaving only a residual phantom that came to Noipela and hid it.

With Alice's excellent prophecy ability inherited from Held, which is also part of the secrets of the Hebron royal family, it is impossible for her to know Di Ruigi's situation with a little divination.

But now Alice still wants to come to Dark City and openly announce the prophecy of the coming of the Apostle. Obviously it is not that her prophecy is wrong, but more like a predetermined procedural step engraved in her mind. At some point, she must know to do something.

A puppet on a string, unable to control himself.

And the hidden meaning behind this is very embarrassing... Held may have forgotten her, or didn't care about it.

Five apostles from the mirror dimension were killed by Kahn. Counting Kahn himself, nearly half of the thirteen apostles have disappeared.

Then the prophecy of the stone tablet and the millennium plan that mirrored Herder's obsession would be declared a complete failure.

The apostles are all gone. The so-called prophecy that killing the apostles will bring back mysterious energy to the demon world has naturally turned into nothing, a complete joke.

Held, who was raising a fetus in the main dimension, hesitated to turn the demon world into "New Terra". This meant that she had to accept her own failure. Everything in the past could no longer come back.

As for Held in the mirror dimension, he should be in a confused, helpless and tired state now.

There is a kind of high-rise building that has been built with great pains and hard work. Just when it is about to be topped out and firecrackers are set off, it is suddenly crushed by our own people driving an excavator. Now there is only a mess of ruins.

I want to be held accountable and want to vent, but the being who drives the excavator has already sent it.

Six of the apostles disappeared completely, and the doll used to act on their behalf also lost its use value.

The mirror image Held was already too busy taking care of himself, so he had no intention of lifting the curse of the evil spirit on Alice and giving her freedom.

"I'm going to help her lift the curse." Xiaoyu couldn't bear Alice's dull look and her eyes were dull, so she wanted to break off the evil spirit's curse.

"slow!"

Ye Lin quickly grabbed her slender wrist, then adjusted his collar and said calmly: "Let me do it."

The two looked at each other silently, and then Xiaoyu shook off his hand and rushed towards Alice with a cold smile: "No, you will definitely instill some unclean things into Sister Alice."

"Xiaoyu, stop! You have no experience in this kind of thing."

"Nonsense, I'm very experienced."
