Tyrant Code

Gordon hesitated.

The magic power burned in mid-air, and the previously drawn magic circle gradually turned into a rippling phantom, and then a certain scene was revealed.

A cunning man pushed open the crystal coffin in the secret room—the originally closed crystal coffin could keep the corpse in the coffin from decay, but the man opened it, and the cold corpse instantly turned into powder.

The man stretched out his hand to fish into the coffin, and pulled out a crystal skull.

This scene lasted only a few seconds, but the information presented was enough for people to judge the cause and effect.

The man who stole the skull had blond hair and blue eyes, and he was more similar to a member of Sai Lun's family.And the corpse also revealed its appearance at the moment the coffin was opened, looking very young and handsome.

"... Claudius." Goldo heard Julian whisper softly, "Why is this?"

Claudius was the legendary Emperor of Glory and the orthodox blood of the Celanca royal family, but he died very young.But the person sleeping in the crystal coffin was able to match up with the Emperor of Glory who died young.

"It turned out that his skull was stolen." Julian said.

"But this skull was later transferred to the Pope, and now it is on my teacher." Goldo said, "Why is it that the family of Salem is cursed, but the Pope is the one who gets the skull... There must be more Things we don't know."

"Compared to these..." Julian blurted out his doubts, "Why does Claudius' corpse look so young?"

"According to historical records, he died very early." Goldo said, "But his bones were stolen, how could it be contaminated with your curse?"

Julian was silent for a moment, and replied as if sleepwalking: "...Did you take a closer look at that crystal coffin just now?"

Gordon thought about it carefully, and said, "There seems to be some magic spell engraved in the coffin."

"That's black magic that sacrifices to the undead," said Julian. "A dark wizard can sacrifice something to a known undead. We usually only engrave this spell on some dead things, engraved Afterwards, those things belong to the undead, and no one can take them away, otherwise they will be cursed by the undead..."

So Julian "passively" cursed Salem's family.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that Julian once again cast a curse on the collections he owned. The content of the curse was "those who steal Julian's things will be severely punished", and Claudius took the initiative in The words "Julian Exclusive" were engraved on the coffin, which directly caused Claudius himself to become Julian's property in the field of magic...

The combination of the two curses made the curse of the Salem family endowed with a powerful magical power inherited along the bloodline.

Gordon didn't know what to say.

"Is this a confession? Forget it." Goldo analyzed in disbelief.

It's just that the way of confessing is a bit hardcore.

"What confession?" Julian was also quite puzzled, but he quickly understood what Goldo meant, so as if he had been stimulated by some kind of stimulation, his tone became hesitant, "This is impossible...it must be you will Misunderstood. How could that guy Claudius treat me—”

As he spoke, Julian suddenly fell silent.

Gordon: "...?"

Goldo waited for a while, but still didn't hear Julian's voice, and no one answered after calling several times, it seemed that the line was dropped.

The more Gordo thought about it, the more he felt that a ton of dog food had been slapped on his face.

He glanced sadly at the door behind him, behind which Salem was still suffering.It was only at this moment that Gordon suddenly had a funny feeling about the cause and effect of this incident.

"It slipped pretty fast." He sighed, and said, "At least let me help you undo the curse first."

After a peaceful night.

Sai Lun opened the bedroom door with red eyes, and found that Gordo was sleeping on the armrest sofa by the door, even in a very elegant sleeping position.

Sai Lun: "...Hey, wake up."

He knew how much noise he made last night.In this way, Gordon can fall asleep, which is also a good way of self-restraint.

Gordon was stunned for a while, then opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked up and down Sai Lun: "Ah, you came out."

Salem asked him to move his position, then sat beside him, and said wearily and weakly: "Finally got through it again—I feel more and more difficult."

"There's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" Goldo said.

Sai Lun: "...I slept all night, what happened? Don't be my father——"

Gordon: "No, it has nothing to do with your family's throne."

Sai Lun breathed a sigh of relief: "Then let's hear the good news first."

Goldo said gently: "I know how to undo your curse."

When he said these words, a gust of wind blew up outside the window, and the branches of the window swayed against the morning sun, casting a burst of light and shadow on the floor.

Sai Lun turned his head blankly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

After a while, a cautious joy appeared in his eyes: "...Is it true?"

"Of course it is true, and the method is very simple to say." Goldo spread his hands, "However, this is the bad news I want to tell you. To lift your curse, you must behead one of your relatives The head of yours—a close relative of your blood."

The thief stole Claudius's skull, so according to the "eye for an eye" curse breaking law, either the stolen thing must be returned, or his head must be lost as well.Now that the skull was on Atrium's body, he couldn't pick it off, so he could only trouble the thief to lose his head.

He dared to steal the bones of the Emperor of Radiance, even if he lost his head, he would not be wronged.

Salem: "..."

Sai Lun was silent for a moment, then asked, "Do you know what that man looks like?"

"Blond hair and blue eyes like you, looks a little thin, the point is that he has sneaked into the royal chamber of Celanca." Goldo said, "As far as I know, the only person who meets these conditions Married Prince Seychelles. It is he who took something that should not be taken, so he brought a curse on your family."

"...That's right." Sai Lun gritted his teeth, and Goldo could see that he was in a very complicated mood now, "He was also the first one in our family to fall ill. It's just that he died of illness, and the madness is not as serious as mine. .”

Goldo: "The root of all this is him. Now that the person is dead, it's easy to handle. It's easier to drag the corpse out and chop off its head than to kill a living person."

Sai Lun: "...you are really good at comforting people."

Goldo leaned back on the sofa and said helplessly: "What I said is also true."

The two were silent for a while.

Salem should have been active in digging his uncle's grave and cutting Seychelle's head cleanly, but he was in no hurry to do so when things came to an end.

He began to think about whether all of this was what he deserved.Otherwise, why was he the only one of his father's three children infected with the curse?

"There is one more thing." Gordon said suddenly, "According to the curse, everyone in your family should be infected. It doesn't make sense that you are the only one affected by the curse."

This is a curse based on blood, and no one should be spared.

"Concentrating the power of the curse on a certain fetus, or someone in the family, this kind of magic actually exists. It's just that only black wizards can use it." Goldo continued, "Also, last time Dane told me that he sensed someone suspected of being a dark wizard around your elder brother."

Sai Lun clenched his fists and stared at Gordon's face, as if he was suppressing something: "...So what do you mean?"

"Of course, all of this is just my guess." Goldo said, "If my guess is true, it's obviously impossible to do this with your brother alone."

How old was his eldest brother when Sai Lun first fell ill.Even the eldest son doesn't have that much power to cover up the royal family's contact with dark wizards.

Sai Lun was silent again.

"I understand." Sai Lun's voice seemed to be filled with ice, and a cold smile appeared on his lips, "So I am not only an abandoned child, but also someone who plans to take advantage of me." You dead bastard."

Goldo patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "It's okay, according to the script of a general revenge hero, you will definitely fight back all the way and win the final victory."

Sai Lun was choked in his chest by what he said, neither crying nor laughing, and said with a distorted expression: "Can you read less scripts."

Gordon also laughed when he heard this.

"The matter of contacting the curse is not busy, anyway, there is still half a month. We have something in front of us." Gordo corrected his attitude and said seriously, "Mentor Atrice has not come back all night."

"Is he treating my father?" Sai Lun frowned and replied.

"If you just use magic, it won't take such a long time." Goldo said, "The use of the Resurrection Curse is only a matter of a few seconds. If it works, it works. You’re not a real doctor, so what can you do if you stay there all the time? Besides, is it true that your empire can’t even find a priest who is proficient in healing?”

Sai Lun pondered: "It's a bit weird..."

"I'd better just say it straight." Goldo lowered his eyes, "The thing that was stolen by Prince Cecil is now on Mentor Atrium. To be precise, it is combined with Atrium One."

Goldo: "Let's imagine, if your family elders actually know the root of the curse, but they have no way to break the curse, but have learned to focus the curse on one person - what do you think they will do? "

Sai Lun took a light breath: "Since the price of stealing the treasure is inevitable, they will find ways to make the treasure play the most valuable in their hands."

"For example, if the value is brought into play, they have to take it back first." Goldo sneered, "But this thing is not available to everyone, it must be someone with a strong talent for light—"

Saying that, the two of them looked at each other.

Among the princes who have the talent of light, only Louis is left, and the king is seriously ill and unconscious...

Who is the person in power in the palace now?

While both were alive—

Claudius (giving Julian the crown): You are mine.

Julian dodges perfectly.

After Julian's death—

Claudius (in the coffin): Well, I'm yours.
