Chapter 20 Value

When Tarasha got up the next day, she didn't see Selsi. She looked around the room in a panic and saw a note on her bedside.

She tore off the note, which was Selsi's message "Wait for me under the sycamore tree yesterday, don't come to me."

Tarasha didn't know what Selsi was doing, but she chose to listen to her.

When they came to the sycamore tree, there were still many people here. They were the people who listened to Selsi's performance yesterday. They tried to wait here for the bard to continue singing for them. Tarasha ignored them and walked straight to the sycamore tree. Selsi hadn't come yet, so she sat cross-legged under the sycamore tree waiting for her.

She supported her face and was about to fall asleep while waiting. Until a force pulled up her other hand.

"Get up," it was a familiar voice.

Tarasha opened her eyes. The person in front of her was wearing ancient plain clothes, and the scarf on her face covered half of her face, but the deep blue eyes and familiar voice revealed that she was Selsi.

Selsi pulled Tarasha up and walked out of the crowd without saying a word. Tarasha didn't know what Selsi was going to do, but that didn't stop her from following Selsi obediently.

Selsi took Tarasha to an empty alley, and after making sure that no one was around, she whispered to Tarasha, "There's something wrong with this wishing hourglass!"

Tarasha heard this and said, "What do you mean?"

Selsi confirmed that there was no one around before whispering in Tarasha's ear, "I went to the town and asked around today, and no one remembered who the previous wisher was."

It stands to reason that this wishing hourglass has been here for so long and has fulfilled so many people's wishes, so it's impossible that no one knows who the previous wisher was.

This is indeed abnormal, Tarasha thought, and Selsi hadn't finished speaking yet, "I remember there is a cursed stone that can fulfill any wish made by the holder, but it will curse the holder's time, their existence will be erased, no one will remember, and their body will become a new cursed stone frozen in eternal time. The harder the wish is to fulfill, the faster it will transform."

If the fine sand in the hourglass is a cursed stone that has been polished into pieces, then the Purple Luo Guild is deliberately killing people. The empty house before was probably the house of the person who was wiped out.

Tarasha also realized the seriousness of the matter, "What do you want me to do?" She volunteered.

In fact, Selsi was not completely sure, but if someone could go deep into the guild, then it would be possible to confirm whether her guess was correct.

Selsi patted Tarasha on the shoulder. It was very simple. The original color of the cursed stone was yellow earth, and the sand in the portable hourglass they gave was pink. If it was them, then there should be a place in their guild to process it.

The texture of the cursed stone was very special. It naturally had the texture of the hourglass. If they could film the process of polishing and processing the cursed stone and then hand it over to the relevant departments and the Wanderer Guild, the first problem would be solved.

Selsi handed Tarasha a few image stones and encouraged her, "This task is left to you. I believe in you."

Tarasha would naturally not disappoint her friend's expectations and disappeared into the shadows in the alley.

Tarasha's shadow function was very convenient. Following a senior member, she easily got the picture of the Purple Luo Guild processing the cursed stone. After completing the task, she did not stay for long. She disappeared into the alley, appeared in her normal form, went under the sycamore tree and saw no one, and returned to Landry's home.

The first problem exists, so does the second problem, how to keep the current owner.

When Selsi went to Tarasha to find evidence, she was also constantly looking through her notes. When she wiped the sweat from her forehead for the thirteenth time, she pointed to a note: "The Tree of Life can parasitize everything with the attribute of earth. When the Tree of Life takes root, the earth-related mana will become its nutrients." It was

a very useful piece of information. Adding this information next to the cursed stone, Selsi thought quickly. If the penetration of the cursed stone is not deep, then Landry can still be saved; if the penetration is already deep, then what else can be done...

The door was pushed open at this time.

"How is the situation over there?" Selsi turned her head and was stunned.

The boy standing at the door had a large area of ​​skin covered with a layer of rock. The original eye sockets were inlaid with dark brown amber, and the hourglass symbol on the sunglass seemed to be looming.

"!"

"What a pity, it seems too late."

The boy didn't know how long he stood there. When he spoke, his originally clear voice became mellow and low, like a dozen people talking at the same time.

Selsi didn't expect that after just one night, he would become like this.

"Ah, ah, ah," the boy shook his index finger, "I know what you are thinking."

She turned around in front of Selsi, as if admiring her new body.

"The difficulty of realizing the wish is proportional to the ability and obsession of the wisher. Her enemy is a member of the Grand Guild, and she is willing to give everything for revenge, including her own life. Ah! What a strong greed~ Isn't this what we need for colonization~"

Listening to such human words, Selsi glared. She should know that someone with such a weird ability is definitely not a non-living thing, but a parasite!

She didn't want to listen to the creature in front of her anymore, so she took out the seed of the Tree of Life from the magic bag and threw it at the other party.

The girl didn't resist. The moment the seed touched her skin, the intricate root system pierced the surface rock and penetrated deeply into the flesh.

"You can't save her..."

The roots came out of her mouth, blurring her struggling moans.

"Are you okay?" When

Tarasha came back, she saw Selsi kneeling on the ground and the unknown tumor-like object in front of her. She quickly stepped forward and hugged her from behind.

Selsi lowered her head and murmured, and Tarasha patted her back again and again. From her crying, Tarasha understood what happened.

Her hands gradually slowed down, and she vaguely saw her original fate, doing whatever it took for revenge, and finally becoming a monster that was neither human nor ghost.

"Is it really worth giving up everything and living for revenge?" If it were in the past, Tarasha would definitely answer that it was worth it, but now, she also asked herself in her heart, is it really worth it?

Because Landry has not completely transformed into a cursed stone, there are still sporadic impressions in their memories.

Selsi stood up shakily, and Tarasha was very worried about her mental state.

Selsi closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and handed her hand to Tarasha. Tarasha thought she wanted to help, so she quickly handed her hand over.

"Help me get the notebook." Selsi exhaled and opened her eyes.

"Oh oh." Tarasha pulled her hand back awkwardly and helped her pick up the notebook.

Selsi quickly made notes in the notebook. If you ignore her eyes dripping with water from time to time and her trembling wrists, you would think she was a cold-blooded researcher.

When the last stroke fell, Selsi looked at the sloppy strokes that were in stark contrast to the neat handwriting on the previous page and pursed her lips.

"Let's go, find the Wanderer Guild, they will solve this matter."

Selsi closed the notebook and stretched her legs to leave, but was pulled into Tarasha's arms behind her.

"I think you want a hug now."

The tall man held the short man in his arms.

"Don't make trouble, there are things to do." Selsi pushed Tarasha, but didn't push her away.

"Yes, I want it."

Tarasha buried her face in her hair. The person in her arms was silent at first, and then kept sobbing.

Selsi's eyes were pink after the adjustment. She lowered her head and was led by Tarasha all the way to the Wanderer Guild.

After handing over all the evidence to the person in charge, the two of them no longer cared about it. They believed in the ability and character of the Wanderer Guild and would not stand idly by.

After discussing all the details, the night had already begun.

The two did not refuse the accommodation arranged by the guild, and fell on the bed in each other's arms.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
