The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 036 Dungeon
This is a very powerful curse!
Not to mention what the declining physical functions mean.
The mere fact that someone is sentenced to instant death every 72 hours is enough to terrify people.
Although the conditions for "instant death judgment" are very harsh.
But what if?
If an event with extremely low probability occurs, Roger’s life will be lost here!
So as soon as he discovered the curse, Roger put down everything he was doing and paid great attention to it.
He began to reflect on the source of the curse.
As we all know, casting a curse requires a medium.
Roger has been hunting gray dwarves recently and has not touched anything else suspicious.
Then the medium of the curse can only be the gray dwarves killed by him!
"Is it because I killed so many gray dwarves that I became a medium in some sense?"
Roger vaguely guessed the truth.
When he tried to focus on the dark eye on the back of his hand, a strange scene appeared in his mind:
The raging flames burned the bodies of the suffering gray dwarves;
A gray dwarf with an unusually long beard was kneeling on the ground with his hands raised high, and suddenly he started to dance an unknown dance;
The dance moves are weird, like reptiles;
It was mumbling some fragmented phrases, some in the language of the Gray Dwarves, some in the common language of the Underworld, and even some in the common language of humans.
In the only common human language that Roger could understand, the words "Dad" and "Mom" were mentioned repeatedly.
final.
That row of gray dwarves were burned alive.
The dancing gray dwarf used a huge black pen, dipped it in their ashes, and solemnly drew a huge symbol on the ground.
That symbol looked just like the black pupil on the back of Roger's hand.
…
"The so-called 'blood curse' is a curse that can only be cast by sacrificing one's parents or even all blood relatives?"
Seeing this scene, Roger felt a little numb.
This gray dwarf is too cruel!
In order to kill yourself, you have to sacrifice your parents first?
"Could he be the leader who has been secretly competing with me in wits and courage?"
Roger was a little bit troubled.
The tricky part isn't the curse itself.
In fact, it is not very difficult for him to break the curse.
Just level up 10 at a time.
For every 10 career levels you increase, the Hidden Knight template will purify all negative effects.
Including this seemingly invincible blood curse.
But Roger would not squander his experience points easily unless it was absolutely necessary!
Another way to resolve the blood curse is to kill the caster on the screen.
Ever since this pitch-black eye appeared on the back of his hand, he could vaguely sense the direction of the person who cast the spell.
It’s just that the other party is not in the swamp.
But in that underground city with many connections!
This is where Roger finds the problem difficult.
In the past six months, he had already discovered the entrance to the underground city, but had been reluctant to enter.
The reason is very simple.
In the swamp, covered by reeds and fog, it was simply a pipe dream for the gray dwarves to catch Roger who was protected by the Cloud Ladder.
But it’s different in the dungeon.
That is the territory of the gray dwarves.
So even though he was very tempted by the possible martial arts relics, he still restrained his desire to explore the dungeon.
Originally in his plan, he wanted to kill all the gray dwarves in the swamp first.
But the emergence of the "Blood Curse" directly shattered this possibility.
He has to make a choice.
After weighing the pros and cons, he chose to break into the dungeon.
If you don't take the risk, it means you have to give up the experience gained at level 9.
Give it a try, there is at least a chance of retaining some of it.
As for whether you can get away with it safely.
Roger is still confident in this regard.
…
After deciding to enter the dungeon.
Roger prepared the adventure supplies and equipment as quickly as possible.
To confuse the gray dwarves.
He even ran to the wall and killed a few monsters before setting off.
After that, he quickly changed his route and ran to the entrance of the underground city deep in the swamp.
Uncover the secret entrance covered by reeds.
Roger took a deep breath and ducked in.
…
The tunnel is narrow and wet.
There was an indescribable feeling of stuffiness.
Unlike the underground city that Roger imagined, the underground passages in the swamp were also filled with thick water vapor.
With the help of dim light vision, he saw many unknown plants growing wildly in the corners.
A large part of it is composed of various mosses.
From time to time, water drops would seep down from the top of his head and drip onto the brim of Roger's hat, giving people the illusion of walking in a water curtain cave.
After walking diagonally downward for six or seven kilometers, the road ahead suddenly became clear.
The humidity is also gradually decreasing.
Following the perception of the curse, Roger continued forward with full vigilance.
When passing by a stalagmite forest.
He ran into a not-so-intense fight head-on.
It was an adventurer wearing a thick cloak.
His opponents were a group of patrolling swamp gray dwarves.
The adventurer's methods were very fierce. He killed all the swamp gray dwarves in a short time.
Roger noticed.
He was using a scimitar and his entire body was wrapped in a cloak, with not an inch of skin exposed.
His hood must have been enchanted, so Roger couldn't see his face clearly.
"Um?"
After killing the gray dwarf, the adventurer also noticed Roger.
Before Roger could speak, the man said coldly:
"Not a gray dwarf? You're lucky."
"But you have to listen carefully. No matter who you are, just don't get in the way of me killing the gray dwarves."
"If you try to stop me, I will show no mercy."
His voice is very strange and sounds particularly rough, which is probably a deliberate effect.
"I'm here to kill the gray dwarves."
Roger looked at the other person steadily.
At this moment, his heart began to beat a little.
Immediately afterwards, the back of my left hand began to feel hot.
The two looked at each other for about ten seconds.
Finally, Roger asked tentatively:
"You're cursed too?"
In the throbbing just now, he clearly felt that the other person, like himself, also had traces of the blood curse!
The man was silent for a while and nodded gently.
Roger was about to say something else.
The man suddenly jumped up.
The scimitar in his hand was as fast as lightning, and it slashed towards Roger's neck with extreme sharpness!
Roger dodged his scimitar calmly and stabbed him with the Green Fly Sword .
The opponent's skills are very agile and his body flexibility is amazing.
Facing the straight thrust of the Green Fly Sword, he leaned his upper body to the side and backward, dodging the sword at a very exaggerated angle.
And his body still maintains an excellent balance.
However, what he didn't expect was that Roger's sword was not aimed at his face at all.
In a flash.
The tip of the Green Fly Sword turned slightly and lightly poked downwards.
The adventurer's hood rope was cut and he fell quietly to the ground under the action of gravity.
Roger saw his face clearly.
On a complexion like the night.
Adorned with delicate facial features and shameful and angry eyes.
Hidden under this hood is a genuine drow! (Note 1)
Still a girl.
The drow girl grabbed the hood off the ground and put it back on.
She dropped her weapon.
The pair of big pearl-like eyes stared at Roger for a long time before he said lightly:
"You qualify as a companion."
Roger raised his eyebrows but said nothing.
…
