After going into the sea, I met the witch lady

Chapter 317 The Curse from Gold

The third princess of the Lanluo Empire, Tulisa, looks similar to the eldest princess, Filite, but is younger and more outstanding in appearance. She is like a little canary, protected in a cage.

Ryan nodded slightly and looked at the eldest princess, Filite: "Would it be convenient for you to take me to visit those returning golden sons or golden princesses?"

"Any one will do."

“You can find more useful information by observing it yourself.”

The eldest princess, Filite, stood up and bowed to Ryan: "Of course."

Ryan turned to look at Freni and Cecilia: "You stay here first to avoid being discovered by the Golden Sect. I will contact you later if there are any arrangements."

The two women nodded.

They are all very cautious when it comes to the Golden Sect.

After making the arrangements, Ryan, led by the eldest princess, Filite, took a carriage and came to an equally magnificent palace.

"Lord Ryan, this Golden Son just returned from last time. He is my third uncle, but... after returning, he seems to have become a different person."

The eldest princess, Felit, had a low voice, and a slightly gloomy expression on her face.

Ryan nodded to show that he understood: "Just visit normally, I will follow you and observe."

"Okay, Lord Ryan." The eldest princess, Filite, didn't say anything else. She stood up, tidied her appearance a little, and walked into the palace.

The palace gate was guarded by royal guards. Their expressions were indifferent, and even when they were facing the eldest princess, Filite, their expressions did not change at all.

It was as if they were no longer flesh and blood, but had become some kind of puppets executing orders.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. We need to report to His Highness and get his approval before we can let you go."

The eldest princess, Filite, showed no change in expression, and simply nodded.

In the past, she would be moved by this scene, but now, her heart is as dead as a pool of water.

She didn't have to wait any longer. In just a few minutes, the guard who had gone to the palace returned to the door and bowed, "Your Highness, please."

Hearing this, the other guards nearby silently retreated to the sides.

The eldest princess, Filito, walked straight forward, and soon arrived deep into the palace.

This is an extremely empty hall.

In the center of the hall, a man stood quietly.

In front of him, there was a long sword, the end of which just reached his waist and was held down by his hands.

The man raised his head slightly, his gaze fell on the white dome, his eyes were empty, as if he was staring at something. Even when he heard footsteps behind him, he maintained his original movement without any change.

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a long time."

The eldest princess, Filite, bowed and saluted, but the man just said indifferently: "What's the matter?"

"...I just came to see you." The eldest princess, Filite, bowed her head slightly: "I heard that the emperor's uncle has been studying swordsmanship recently. I asked for a secret swordsmanship and came to give it to you."

The man remained indifferent: "...Go back, this is not the place for you."

"I have overstepped my authority." The eldest princess, Filite, pursed her lips and turned away.

A secret book on swordplay was left where she had just stood.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the remaining sound continued to echo in the empty hall.

Until the sound completely disappeared, as if swallowed by darkness, the man lowered his head, with a complicated look in his eyes: "Don't get too close to me, Filite..."

"Why, are you worried that the curse on you will affect her?"

The sudden sound caused Third Uncle Carlton's pupils to shrink sharply.

He did not sense the presence of any breath, even when his mind was highly concentrated after the voice sounded.

This means one thing, the strength of the person who came is far superior to his, even the protective formation of the palace cannot lock on him.

Carlton turned around and immediately saw a man wearing a demon mask.

Even with their eyes locked, in his perception, it was still empty, as if the two were in not the same dimension at all.

Just like a real evil ghost...

"What is it that Senior is looking for me for? If it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best."

Carlton saluted.

Ryan looked at the man in front of him with interest, his eyes mainly fixed on the golden mark between his brows.

This thing is the symbol of him being the golden son.

At the same time, this brand is also the medium of the curse in his body.

As for the specific effect of this curse... Ryan is not professional enough to make a specific judgment, but he roughly estimates that it should be related to erosion, infection, domination, etc.

What is the point of the Golden Sect placing such a curse on these golden sons and golden princesses?
Ryan could see it, and he didn't think that the main gods and guardians of the four empires would not be able to see it.

Even so, the Golden Sect still dispatched someone to be in charge of this matter every ten years...

Ryan didn't think that the Golden Sect was an organization that would do such a meaningless thing.

There must be some hidden story that he doesn't know.

And this secret must be related to the characteristics of the golden curse.

"The captain is very knowledgeable. If it were her, she should be able to analyze the specific effects of the golden curse after spending some time..."

Ryan thought about it, then looked at the man in front of him: "You look like you know something."

He wore a mask and was not worried about being discovered by the Golden Sect. Moreover, he was going to try something later, so he didn't have to worry about the golden curse.

To be honest, the golden curse was most likely created by the people of the Golden Sect, and it did not originate from the golden tree.

The difference between the two is huge.

If it came from the golden tree, then it was a ninth-level curse that Ryan's body could not resist at all.

And if it came from the Golden Sect, the strongest would not exceed the eighth level, and the power of the curse would instantly drop several levels.

There is a lot of room for maneuver.

In the palace.

Carlton looked uneasy, but remained silent.

The shadow cast by the Golden Curse and the Golden Sect in his heart was too great. Although he knew that the man in the evil ghost mask in front of him was definitely an eighth-level god.

But the Golden Sect does have eighth-level ones. Not only does it have them, but there are also quite a few of them.

In his opinion, this senior might have a grudge against the Golden Sect and came to him to try to find a breakthrough.

but……

Seeing Carlton in silence, Ryan shook his head.

Since this matter concerns the Golden Sect, he couldn't waste any more time with Carlton for the sake of caution.

"Let's start the experiment right away."

As the thought arose in his mind, a deep green light flashed in Ryan's eyes.

The "Thread of Sloth" hung down and merged into Carlton's true spirit.

Ryan keeps an eye on Carlton's situation.

The Golden Brand is a curse, and his "Thread of Sloth" is a powerful domination. The two cannot coexist.

This also means that the moment the "Thread of Sloth" takes effect, either it will be expelled or the golden curse will be broken.

The moment the "Thread of Sloth" entered his body, Carlton's pupils dilated sharply and indescribable pain exploded in his mind.

In a trance, he saw a brilliant golden light colliding with a deep green light. In just a moment, thousands of collisions occurred that he could not understand.

The pain was beyond the human body's limit, causing him to faint immediately. After an unknown amount of time, Carlton finally woke up.

He stared blankly at the pure white dome. Although his body was extremely weak, he felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

He stood up with difficulty and bowed to Ryan beside him: "Thank you, sir, for giving me a new life."

"It's okay." Ryan seemed to be thinking about something and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Stay as you are and don't move. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"I understand." Carlton, who had become a "lazy puppet", said very seriously.

"Yeah." Ryan turned and left, disappearing in the palace in an instant.

Tears welled up in Carlton's eyes.

Of course he knew that he had become a "lazy puppet", but he was extremely happy.

Because compared to the "Golden Curse", the slight cost of becoming a "lazy puppet" is insignificant.

the other side.

After leaving the palace, Ryan gradually formed a plan in his mind.

The "Thread of Laziness" can break the "Golden Brand", which has been verified in the experiment just now.

Instead, he could feel that if he tried hard to control it, he could actually turn the object into a "lazy puppet" without breaking the "golden curse".

Once this is done, breaking the "Golden Curse" will only be a matter of thought for him.

This discovery made Ryan temporarily change his action plan.

If the plan succeeds, he will obtain much more intelligence information than expected.

As for what to do now?
Of course, I would find a few more golden sons to practice with.

Practice makes perfect no.

……

The setting sun took away the light, and the world gradually fell into darkness.

Ryan stood in the courtyard, looking up at the night sky.

In the forbidden sea area at night, even the light of the stars and the moon is obscured by the golden light spreading from a far distance.

That was the faint light emitted by the golden tree.

It is not obvious during the day, but at night, it is pitch black and the light of the golden tree becomes the only light in the area.

After a whole day of experiments, Ryan finally had complete confidence.

Next, we just need to wait for the golden messenger to arrive the day after tomorrow, and we can carry out the plan smoothly.

The dinner was spent in the hospitality of the eldest princess, Felit, and in the company of the third princess, Tulisa.

After saying goodbye, Ryan came to the room arranged in the palace.

It is worth mentioning that Freni and Cecilia's rooms are right next to his.

To be precise, the three rooms belong to one courtyard.

"If there is danger, there is no need to be so anxious." A soft voice came from behind. Ryan turned his head and looked at the dreamy witch lady walking under the moon, and smiled gently:
"There is danger, for sure, but it is still within control."

"There is a place in the northern continent where the Great Witch's legacy is located, but we are not sure how long it will take to receive the inheritance. If we have to deal with the golden ceremony, I'm afraid it will be too late." Freni came to Ryan's side and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"It's okay." Ryan shook his head: "Captain, can you feel it? The restlessness lingering in the spirit."

"...I feel it." Frannie was silent for a few seconds and nodded.

Although her direct combat capability is now far inferior to that of the little crew member she rescued, in terms of perception acuity, she is no worse than Ryan.

"Yeah, so anxious, as if foreshadowing something." Ryan stared at the person beside him: "Time is really running out."

"Captain, I have seen a world in ruins in my dreams, so I don't want our home to become like this."

"Therefore, even if there is a little risk, it is worth it."

Frannie stopped talking, and the two of them just stood side by side.

After a long time, Ryan felt his shoulders sink slightly.

The witch leaned her face against his shoulder and said, "Mr. Ryan, promise me that you will protect yourself no matter what."

Ryan smiled: "Of course, I can't do what I promised you yet, how could I not protect myself."

"Hmm~"

Miss Witch's voice was very soft, even softer than the moonlight.

The moonlight tonight is really beautiful.

Nearing midnight.

inside the room.

Ryan lay on his back on the bed... on the raft placed beside the bed.

For tonight’s tour, he will no longer go to Monster Hunter World.

After defeating the Crimson Root, he would gain almost nothing from going to the Monster Hunter World, which was unacceptable to him as he was pressed for time.

If you want to achieve a breakthrough in strength in a short period of time, the key point lies in the professional skill of [Arrogant Overlord] - [Throne in the Palm].

Every time he becomes the pinnacle existence in a world, his professional compatibility will be improved, and his true attributes will skyrocket.

And in the current world, the most likely thing to be achieved is the world of gods.

As for other unknown new worlds that can be visited, the situation is still unclear, and it is not advisable to explore them in this special period.

Ryan, who had already made up his mind, closed his eyes the moment he arrived at midnight.

Travel, start!
Target: the world of gods!
……

After the light and shadow changed, Ryan opened his eyes.

At this moment, he is located near the Wind God Tower, which is the starting point.

He walked to the campfire, and as the flames danced, he returned to the dead continent.

The demon kings in the four major war zones were all annihilated, but the forces of the gods failed to achieve the expected counterattack.

As the concentration of the abyss continues to increase, more and more monsters are produced. Even some gods who have persisted until now have shown a tendency to become abyssal.

Everything indicates that the abyss channel sealed by the Mother of Heaven may erupt at any time.

By then, this broken world will be completely destroyed.

After flying all the way for a while, Ryan arrived at the center of the Dead Continent and saw the Lord of Gold who was still guarding there.

Compared with the last time they met, the armor on the Lord of Gold was increasingly dilapidated. It was obvious that he had been engaged in a brutal battle recently.

The Lord God of Gold was also surprised to see Ryan.

He was guarding outside the abyss passage, but he didn't see Ryan come out for so long that he thought this powerful human had died in there.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly came from outside.

A man and a god were about to say hello.

At this time.

A tide of black fog poured out from the abyss passage.

The abyss erupted at this moment!
