When I took the key before paying, I felt my hands were cold.
But no matter what, this time has been full of rewards.
Being able to easily use pus stone to catalyze the Corruption Dragon's Breath, he obviously has a very deep understanding of the power of this world, and the witch's words are still quite credible.
Regarding pus stone, or what is called human pus, although the witch just said it in a vague way, there is a lot of valuable information.
First of all, this thing is the opposite of losing color, so it can be basically concluded that the increasingly serious curse of losing color is related to the appearance of this thing.
At the same time, she also mentioned that she should be careful about getting infected, indicating that this thing is contagious, and even awakened people are not immune.
In addition, she calls losing color fading, which is also quite interesting, but unfortunately, the meaning behind it is not yet known.
[The current mission is completed and the goal has been updated]
【Find and remove human pus】
At this moment, a new reminder sounded in Fu Qian's ears.
Is this done?
I was a little surprised before I paid.
I just came up with a few guesses, and even if I haven't confirmed anything yet, the mission is updated directly?
However, this confirmed all the previous speculations - human pus is the source of the intensification of the discoloration curse.
Looking at the new mission content, there is a high probability that someone here has been infected.
It is precisely for this reason that more and more people are losing their color.
"Time is running out, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
After seeing no response, the witch in the corner spoke leisurely and drew a circle in the air.
The little bits of starlight quickly gathered into a ring, and quickly expanded to enough for a person to pass through.
"From here you can go directly to the ground."
Sure enough, this person can leave at any time, he just wants to stay here!
He said silently before paying.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, may the stars guide you to the answer."
After saying something with unknown meaning, the moment Fu Qian walked into the star ring, the witch's figure slowly disappeared into the darkness.
…
"came back?"
The countess looked at Fu Qian in front of her with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
As expected, this person has no confidence that he can come back!
Seeing the Baroness's reaction, Fu Qian confirmed his judgment.
This person who let himself go down before was basically acting as a disposable cannon fodder, just to bring the information about the emergence of pus stone to the witch.
As for whether he is dead or alive, and what will happen to him when facing the witch, he most likely has no idea.
His mind was spinning, and he looked completely untroubled before paying, looking around with a smile.
Several group members were present, and the atmosphere was obviously a bit depressing.
It seems that the investigation has yielded nothing.
"Um!"
Nod before paying.
"What did that person say?"
The baroness asked nervously, even subconsciously looking behind Fu Qian.
"That one is resting."
…
"We had a great chat, and after in-depth exchanges on some issues related to aesthetics, prejudices about carbon-based organisms, etc., he was a little tired and I came back first."
…
Fu Qian's answer was obviously beyond the Baroness's cognition, causing the latter to fall into a state of brain short circuit.
In fact, relying on the information obtained from the witch, the next steps to complete the mission are already very simple.
All he had to do was tell the Baroness about the relationship between the human pus and the curse of discoloration, and then use all his strength to find those infected with the human pus.
In the face of crisis, the Baroness will definitely help and mobilize everyone.
The normal way of thinking is this, but unfortunately Fu Qian is not a normal person in the general sense.
When leaving, it was obvious that the witch's words meant something, and now he was more interested in the key.
"By the way, that person gave me this."
He took out the Starlight Key before paying.
"She told me that with this key, I can find a solution to the curse of eclipse."
The solution to the discoloration curse!
Putting aside the reaction of the Baroness, the four people's eyes widened when they heard this, and they all looked at the thing in Fu Qian's hand.
It's a pity that after some observation, I ended up shaking my head.
"I've never seen a key in this shape."
"The luster and texture, as well as the simple and natural workmanship, give people a mysterious and mysterious feeling."
"I have a hunch that what I use it to unlock must be a shocking secret."
…
Even Xuanzhi Youxuan has appeared, and the brothers have very rich imaginations.
Is it just because this is something from an underground prison and you haven’t seen anything like this before?
Listening to everyone's comments, Fu Qian felt silently in his heart.
"It occurred to me that someone might know!"
With a frown on her face, the only girl who had not spoken suddenly jumped up.
"Father!"
"Not only is he knowledgeable, he is also responsible for guarding many things in the church. He should be the person most likely to know these things."
"It makes sense..."
As soon as these words came out, the countess looked a little unnatural.
Fu Qian knew exactly the reason for her change of expression - this person had just stolen something from there before!
In addition, his strength has skyrocketed, so if he stands in front of people like this, he will not be suspected by the priest.
However, faced with the suggestions from her subordinates, the Baroness obviously found it hard to shirk.
"When the time comes, I'll tell you that it's the underground person who helped me get promoted."
Fu Qian found an opportunity to catch up to the Baroness and whispered quietly.
This is a way.
The countess was obviously moved.
"If the secret is still exposed when the time comes, you can just push it on me."
"Just to avoid unnecessary disputes."
The Baroness thought for a while and finally shook her head.
"When the time comes and I'm really exposed, I'll tell you frankly, and the priest will probably understand."
…
When the group of people arrived at the church, the priest was obviously surprised.
"Has the target been found?"
"Found it, but there are new problems."
The countess walked forward without doing any ink and told her about the dead man in the box, emphasizing her previous contribution.
"In short, if it weren't for Fu Qian's discovery, we were almost misled. Now we can basically conclude that there is another reason for the nun's death."
This is actually the case!
After the countess finished speaking, the priest also murmured to himself.
After a while, he raised his head and looked at Fu Qian.
"I have to say that you have brought us one surprise after another. I have no doubts about your ability to work now!"
"Easy to say."
He said without any humility before paying.
"Besides, we came to see you this time for other matters."
The baroness on the side said again.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
The countess winked, took out the key and handed it over before paying.
"We have received a revelation that among the things that this key can open, there is a way to solve the curse of eclipse."
Inspiration…
Realizing something, the priest frowned, and then his expression changed drastically.
"Have you been in contact with her? This is too dangerous!"
"It's indeed dangerous, and it's also thanks to Fuzen!"
The countess pointed to Fu Qian again.
"That one obviously got along well with him and even helped him get promoted!"
