The Dragon King disappeared, and with her departure, the layout of the room also changed.
The bookshelves and even the furniture have all disappeared.
When he came back to his senses, the huge room was empty.
The goddess Yalu who had been placed on the chair just now was also lying on the ground.
——
Bai Yi didn't stay, he just hugged Luya and left.
On the way back, he found that all the furniture in other rooms had disappeared.
Maybe those things were conjured by the Dragon King using his magic power.
Bai Yi thought so.
He hugged Luya and left the cave, and finally came to Kuroki.
He carefully placed Luya on the ground.
Prepare to wake it up.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the pain sensation in the body recovered.
What followed was unbearable pain.
"Ah...ahhh..."
Bai Yi fell to the ground in embarrassment again.
He kept rolling on the ground.
But the pain this time was far more intense than the last time.
The pain was so painful that he didn't even have time to think before he pulled out the dagger from his waist.
He put the dagger to his throat and tried to commit suicide.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized something.
About the curse.
——
Combined with the previous stories, it is not difficult to deduce the effect of the curse.
To put it bluntly, it means that the target cannot die, but suffers great pain all the time, and is tortured forever.
Since he inherited the Dragon King's curse, he should become immortal as a matter of course.
If so, can he still be killed?
——
Bai Yi didn't know and didn't have time to think about it.
Because he couldn't bear it anymore, he cut off his neck with a knife and lost consciousness...
——
——
——
Bai opened his eyes and found himself standing at the entrance of the cave.
Holding Luya in her arms, she faced the forest.
This shows that he has returned to a few minutes ago and is about to leave.
——
Body……
The physical pain disappeared.
Except for a moment of fear and discomfort, my whole body felt extremely relaxed.
"call……"
He exhaled a long breath, feeling lucky to have escaped death.
If my guess is correct, there should be a conflict between [Immortal Curse] and [Death Rebirth].
However, [Rebirth] is a god skill with higher authority, so I suppressed [Curse] and forced myself to return.
Bai Yi didn't know if his guess was normal, but he estimated it was close to 10%.
It's just that now he doesn't have the extra mood to continue thinking.
He just found Heimu and carefully placed the goddess on the ground.
The next moment, I fell to the ground. I just wanted to lie down for a while and let myself relax.
——
He looked at the ring in his hand, and as soon as he thought about it, the space of the ring appeared in his mind.
There seems to be nothing inside, but if you look closely, you will find a piece of paper on the ground.
Bai Yi thought about taking out the paper.
The paper appeared in his hand.
The paper is very new, and the words on it should have just been written on it.
The content is as follows:
[Carve a statue according to your goddess, it doesn’t have to be too similar, just about 70% or 80%. 】
[When making incense and burning paper, believers only need to kneel down and pray to the statue to dedicate their strength to the gods.]
——
——
——
Although only two sentences are left, they are the core of the mission.
It also gave Bai Yi a clearer goal in the future.
"Thank you..."
He whispered, stood up, and planned to wake the two of them up and leave this place.
But just at this moment.
"mom!!!!"
Not far away, a large group of people came over.
Bai Yiyi was stunned and looked over.
But I saw about twenty young people.
The eldest is in his early thirties, and the youngest is only seventeen or eighteen years old.
Most of these people are girls. Most of them are dressed in rich or expensive clothes, like adventurers. They are well-equipped and carry large and small bags of gifts and luggage.
Before Bai Yi could react, they had arrived at the entrance of the cave.
He quickly noticed Bai Yi and was stunned almost at the same time.
"mom!!!!"
The leading young men rushed into the cave screaming.
The rest suddenly came over and surrounded Bai.
The expression is complicated.
"You, your ring...who gave it to you?"
A female mage said, and without waiting for Bai Yi's answer, she snatched the paper from Bai Yi's hand.
Suddenly, his face turned pale and his whole body trembled:
Before she finished speaking, her eyes went dark and she fainted.
"Hey sister!!!"
The two people next to him hurriedly helped him and pulled him aside.
The rest of the group didn't say anything after that, they just looked in the direction of the cave with grimaces.
Bai Yi was puzzled, but seeing that they didn't seem to be hostile, he asked tentatively:
"You, who are you?"
But no one answered, because a girl had already come out of the cave.
When everyone saw this, they all rushed over.
The girl who came out of the cave had a sad face and said while crying:
"It's gone, it's all gone... Our mother is gone, our mother is gone... Wuwuwu..."
As he said this, he squatted on the ground and burst into tears.
When the others heard the sound, they either staggered and collapsed on the ground, or hugged their heads and cried, looking completely unacceptable.
——
The picture in front of him of howling ghosts and wolves made Bai Yi feel a little confused.
Fortunately, at this time, a male swordsman in his early thirties and carrying a giant sword came over.
Compared to others, he looks much more mature and has a smile on his face.
But Bai Yi could see that it was just a forced smile.
A man came to Bai Yi and helped him up from the ground.
He smiled bitterly and said:
"You are from another world, right? I am Michu, nice to meet you."
"How do you know..."
"My mother has the ability to predict the future. She has already seen her own ending. When we were very young, she told us that one day in the future, there will be a person from another world who will free her."
"Your mother...is the Dragon King?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because we come from Stone Village and are unwanted orphans."
——
Any boy or girl handed over by Stone Village.
In fact, to put it bluntly, they are all orphans that the village does not want.
They are usually not welcomed in the village and face a dead end.
Naturally, the villagers were happy to sacrifice them to the Dragon King.
It's just that the villagers don't know that the Dragon King has no interest in eating children.
——
In the contract, the Dragon King said there was no cap on the sacrifices because he was afraid that there would be too many orphans in the village and not enough places.
As for boys and girls?
To be honest, I just mentioned it casually based on the fairy tales I heard and didn't care at all.
Furthermore, the villagers are not that honest at all.
Among the sacrifices sent over, many children were no longer intact, especially girls, most of whom had been violated.
——
After taking in these children, the idle Dragon King took pleasure in raising them.
And in the process of raising them, teach them skills and give them a way to make a living.
After raising them into adults, they were given a start-up capital and driven out of the ghost mountain, not allowing them to come back.
But even so, every year the orphans find a special time to return home collectively.
As long as enough people come back and the law does not punish everyone, the Dragon King will be embarrassed to rebuke them.
"My mother is not a bad person, she is just too lonely..."
