Chapter 314 Fragments
Okay, okay, it turns out we are all family, isn’t that easier to talk to?
Maybe I can ask her later about the plum tree that Ilias's mother mentioned.

But before that, there was one thing Yun Mu was actually quite curious about.

"What's in this box?" she said, pointing at the dusty wooden box.

The throbbing feeling that came from the wooden box earlier seemed familiar for some reason, as if I had seen it somewhere.

There must be some reason why the other party didn't let her touch him.

She wondered what the reason was.

Unfortunately, after hearing her words, Xilia just shook her head.

"I don't know what's inside, but there is no doubt that if you touch that thing, you will be contaminated by misfortune," she said.

"Unfortunate?" Yun Mu's expression was a little strange.

Do you federal people still believe in this kind of thing?

"It's not superstition!" Celia knew what she was thinking from her expression, so she explained, "The things in the box were brought from outside the Federation. They are stained with some kind of curse. If you touch them, you will be haunted by death."

"That's what my grandfather said anyway."

"I see." Yun Mu nodded in understanding, and then she asked with some confusion: "If it is such a dangerous thing, why is it placed here?"

Normally, shouldn't we find a way to get rid of it?

"Of course it's because I can't throw it away." Xilia didn't seem to want to continue this topic. She put a hand on her chest and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. I'll take you to see my grandfather."

"Well, he will be very happy to see you, sister." She changed her words halfway through her words.

"By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Xilia, the same as my sister's mother. It was given by the clan leader, my grandfather, himself."

"I don't know why, so don't ask me why."

"What about you?" She stretched out her hand to several people.

"I am Yun Mu." Yun Mu spoke first.

In the federal language, the two words "Yunmu" can be connected together, and they don't sound weird. At least people won't misunderstand it as meaning cat.

In fact, even if the pronunciation of Chinese is expressed through transliteration, it would be a good solution, but there is no need for this at present.

"My name is Rita Sisilaya!"

"Hi, my name is Brianna."

"I, I'm Ilias."

Several people exchanged names with each other and soon became familiar with each other.

They left the abandoned warehouse and walked towards the side door of the mansion.

"There's a party going on inside. If they see my sister, it will probably cause misunderstanding." Xilia turned around and blinked at everyone: "It's going to be troublesome to explain. Let's just avoid them!"

It's understandable. After all, Yun Mu and the others don't want to waste their time on the distinguished guests attending the banquet.

"Ok?"

Yun Mu suddenly felt something on her body. She reached into her arms and touched a hard object.

It's square and has a slightly frosted texture.
Isn't this the wooden box in the warehouse just now! ?

How come he suddenly appeared on her body?

Is she being targeted by a curse?
"." Yun Mu put his hand down without saying a word and did not choose to reveal this matter.

It would be fine if it was just Brianna and the others, but now that Celia was right next to her, it was better not to say anything.

As for why this wooden box appeared in her arms, who knows.

Maybe she was really cursed, haha.

I don’t know if it’s because he’s used to the feeling of strong winds and waves, but Yun Mu surprisingly didn’t feel that panicked at this moment.

Rather, she felt she was calm nine out of ten minutes.

No matter what she encounters next, she should have the confidence to face it.

But then again, her current label is the evil god. Can a mere curse really have any effect on her?
"At this time, my grandfather should be painting on the balcony. Let's go there to find him." Xilia said as she led the way.

"Your grandfather should be the patriarch, right? Doesn't he have to host the banquet at this time?" Brianna asked curiously.

Next to her, Yun Mu was more interested in painting.

I don’t know how good that old man’s painting skills are. It would be great if we could communicate with each other.

"No need, my father will be in charge there."

When Xilia said this, she seemed to have thought of something, and a slight smile appeared on her face.

"My father must be worried about my disappearance at this time, but I brought my sister back, so he can't say anything to me afterwards, hehe."

Uh. Looking at the girl's happy expression, Yun Mu couldn't help but feel pity for the girl's father, whom she had never met.

Of course, this is just an exaggeration.

"Miss? What's wrong with you?" Several people met a gray-haired woman dressed as a maid on the road. Judging from her two ears hanging down like a palm-leaf fan, she must be an orc.

"Hush." ​​Celia interrupted her.

"I have something very important to discuss right now and I need to find my grandfather. Head maid, please don't tell anyone." As she spoke, she pointed at Ilias who was following behind her.

When the head maid saw Ilias's appearance, her eyes widened in surprise.

"Yes, I understand!" She nodded solemnly, not knowing what was going on in her mind. Anyway, she simply let everyone go.

"Dong dong dong."

Arriving at the door of a room, Xilia took two steps forward and knocked on the door with her hand.

"."

There was no response from the door. Seeing this, Xilia frowned slightly, then knocked hard twice.

"Come in." A majestic voice came from inside the room.
Yunmu and Brianna looked at each other and felt that the voice did not sound like that of an old man.

But this seems normal. After all, the lifespan of extraordinary people is very long. Although the Federation does not have extraordinary people, it has a similar magic pattern system.

As long as they spend enough money, anyone can become a 'superhuman.'

As the patriarch of a large family like the Fire Weaving Bird Family, he must have magic patterns engraved on his body.

As for strength, maybe he is a master?
Yun Mu only knew about the Federation's magic pattern system, but didn't know the details.

So she could only guess based on her feelings.

As for the blood sensing detection, it couldn't detect anything. Judging from the life breath in the blood, it was only at the second-order elite level.

"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me unless it's something important when I'm painting?" Pushing open the door, a man with bird feathers on his back like Ilias and the others sat on the edge of the balcony and said.

In front of him is a canvas, which contains a distant view that seems to be depicted from the perspective of someone sitting on the balcony.

However, unlike the real scene, the city in the picture has an inexplicable feeling of darkness and decadence.

Perhaps this is what the painter really thinks of this city?
"Of course I know about this, but Grandpa, turn around and take a look. Who did I bring here?"

"Humph, it's useless even if I bring anyone back." The man snorted coldly: "I think you are really itching for trouble. Even your father doesn't dare to interrupt me when I get inspiration."

He turned around and looked at Xilia, then turned to Yun Mu and the others.

After seeing Ilias, Yun Mu noticed that his pupils suddenly contracted for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

"Is this the important thing you mentioned?" The man put down his paintbrush, stood up and walked to Ilias.

"How is your mother, Xilia, doing now?"

Although she knew that her grandfather was referring to Ilias's mother, Celia still felt something was a little strange when she heard her own name.

"My mother passed away a few days ago." When talking about her mother, Ilias couldn't help feeling a little sad.

".That's it."

The man didn't seem surprised to hear what Ilias said.

But Yun Mu and the others were somewhat confused.

Judging from her seniority, Ilias's mother should not be old enough to die yet.

And one thing is actually very strange, that is, Ilias has never talked about her father.

You can't say that his father is also dead, right?
Yun Mu suddenly thought of the wooden box in her arms.

Xilia said that the wooden box would bring a curse to people, and that anyone who touched it would be haunted by death. It was brought from outside the Federation and was packed together with the relics of Ilias' mother.
She absolutely didn't believe that there was no connection between the two.

Of course, if there is really no connection, then just pretend she didn't say anything.

"Have you experienced any physical abnormalities since coming to the Federation?" the man suddenly asked Ilias.

After hearing his question, Ilias was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "No, no, I don't feel uncomfortable."

"That's good, that's good."

Seeing the puzzled expressions on everyone's faces, the man slowly sat down and recalled: "Your mother, Xilia, has been inexplicably weak since she was born."

"You look like Ilias's friends, I'll be frank with you."

"After I discovered the health problems of Elias's mother, I contacted many of the top hospitals in the Federation. At that time, the doctors said that this was normal and there was nothing wrong. I didn't pay much attention to it. It was not until your mother became an adult that the symptoms became more severe and the problem was finally detected."

"It turns out that your mother suffers from an extremely rare congenital disease. Because this is the first case in history, the disease was eventually named after your mother - Xilia Energy Rejection Disease, or Energy Rejection Disease for short."

"Just like the name of the disease, this is a disease that naturally rejects magic energy. As long as you are in an environment filled with magic energy, your body will become very weak and eventually cause a fatal reaction."

"It was too late when we found out. Even if we moved to an environment without magic energy, it could only slightly alleviate the symptoms. Then, your father."

The man sighed imperceptibly. "Although Bryce is a human, he is also a responsible man. In order to cure your mother, he took Xilia on a ship and sailed away from the Orc Federation, hoping that the extraordinary people from other countries could cure your mother's illness."

“Ultimately, the man failed, but at the same time he succeeded.”

"The object he brought back is called a meteorite fragment by people outside. It is a fragment of a star that was shot down by the god of war in the legend."

"That item can continuously erode the holder's vitality and grant the holder a certain amount of extraordinary power."

"Bryce used the power of that extraordinary object and a special ritual to link his life with Xilia."

"However, because the vitality will be eroded when using the meteorite fragment, Bryce's vitality will be less than Xilia's."

"So Bryce would be the one to die before Shelia did."

"." The man was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said: "Xilia doesn't want to prolong her life by sacrificing others."

"So they left the meteorite fragments behind and left the Federation."

"With you, who was still a baby at the time."
