Chapter 54 The Cursed City
Underground kingdom.

Silent square.

Hundreds of ghosts who had lost their physical restraints were floating in the square, and thousands of living corpses were crawling on the ground.

They surrounded the light projected from the center of the square, as if they were longing for something.

Flesh and blood... no, they no longer have the concept of hunger. Cursed by the gods, they can only live without death and suffer eternal punishment.

However, if they can come into contact with the warmth of life, they can also obtain a moment of salvation.

Of course, the way they obtain the warmth of life must be unacceptable to ordinary people.

The mercenary who jumped down from the crater was captured by the swarming ghosts and living corpses, who devoured the mercenary's flesh and blood one after another, using the most straightforward method to obtain the warmth from his body.

And right now.

Ximu and Jed jumped down, and before the zombies and ghosts could react, they immediately ran out of the square, and killed several zombies who blocked the way.

It is not difficult to deal with the living corpses and ghosts in the square, but his main goal now is to obtain the Magic Queen's meteorite.

There is really no need to waste time on these mobs. Once he gets the Magic Queen Meteor, it will be easier to attract the mobs later.

"..."

"..."

The living corpses and ghosts in the square had not yet reacted. They looked at the two people who had run away and wondered why these two people were so skilled.

Not even a trace of hesitation.

But before they could think about it, another group of living people fell from the sky above the square, attracting the attention of living corpses and ghosts.

Then a bloody fight began.

"These guys seem to be immortal." The big sword was swung down, and the living corpse in front of him was chopped in half. The werewolf leader frowned and looked at the picture of the living corpse on the ground moving its body and putting the chopped body back together.

He looked around and found that this was not an isolated case. The living corpses that were killed could not truly die. Even if their arms and heads were severed, they could still heal.

The ghost is even more troublesome. As long as it touches a person's body, it will make the person incapacitated and attack the companions around him.

"No wonder no news came back." The werewolf leader immediately understood the reason. I am afraid that the advance team who came down to explore before were all controlled by ghosts and then eaten by the living corpses that swarmed up.

In this way, no message is sent back.

Think about this.

"Retreat and let the guys behind take care of it." Waving his hand, the werewolf leader and his younger brothers quickly evacuated.

This group of monsters is difficult to kill, and continuing to fight will only increase unnecessary losses. Therefore, it is better to move strategically first.

……

...

at the same time.

On the street.

"The temperature of life!" A living corpse suddenly opened its arms and flew toward Ximu.

Then his head was chopped off with a sword.

Ximu looked at the living corpse moving on the ground indifferently, raised his hand to touch the hunting king's sword, and waved the sword wrapped in black flames, forcing the living corpse in the state of immortality to enter the state of death.

In the past, this underground city believed in the Witch of Creation and had an unusual persistence in life.

But later, because the Creation Witch was punished by the gods, these believers who believed in the Creation Witch also received the most cruel punishment.

All believers who believed in the Creation Witch were executed, but... they were not allowed to go to hell. They could only be on the edge of life and death and be tortured forever.

It's a very boring setting. The gods torture people without imagination. The best way to think of it is to let the believers who believe in the creation witch... lose their lives and wander between life and death forever.

Any player with a bad character would be able to think of even more inappropriate punishments.

However, considering that the official reason for doing this is to open up a new map, introduce the character of the Witch of Creation, and let players feel the cruelty of the gods.

That can be considered acceptable.

"I didn't expect there to be such a big city underground." Jade looked around the dilapidated city. She could imagine how glorious this city would be in the past, with row upon row of houses, cut stone roads, and bustling crowds of people. .

But now they are just a group of living corpses wandering aimlessly on the streets, and ghosts occasionally floating out of dilapidated houses.

Cold.

Surprising.

despair.

The atmosphere of this dungeon is like this. Just being in it makes me feel a little breathless.

"It's better to say it's a prison than a city." Ximu explained casually, stepping on the wet and cold stone road, walking step by step towards the most magnificent castle in the distance.

"Boss, do you know this strange city?" Jade heard the implication and quickened her pace to catch up with Ximu. Although she was very courageous and could put her life on the gambling table, she was so desperate for this city. and curse, but still feel uncomfortable.

There is no hope in this kind of city, only curse and despair.

"Do you remember the statue in the square?" Ximu asked, and Jade thought about it after hearing the words, and found that there was indeed a female statue in the square.

"That's the Creation Witch."

"Oh~ she's a witch who trains gods to... well, imprison gods." Geed suddenly came to his senses.

Since it is a city that believes in the Creation Witch, it is understandable that everyone in this city would end up like this.

To the gods, the Creation Witch is a... stain. She was the first being to train a god into a pet.

This is undoubtedly an insult, the biggest insult.

Therefore, it is reasonable and reasonable for these followers of the Creation Witch to be severely punished after the Death of the Creation Witch.

"Yes, that's her." Ximu replied, and immediately stopped. He was now standing in front of the castle gate.

Several knights in armor were leaning on the edge of the gate, seemingly indifferent to his arrival.

"I feel like he is a guy who is not easy to mess with." Geed also noticed the existence of those knights and pulled out the short knife from his waist.

"Don't be nervous." Waving his hand, Ximu grabbed Jade's wrist, then pulled her and ran in quickly while she was looking at him with doubts.

Before the knights guarding the gate could react, Ximu and Geed had already entered the castle.

If you walk slowly or stand far away to test the knights guarding the gate, you will find that these knights will slowly stand up and start attacking the players.

But if you run in quickly, keep running quickly before the knights guarding the door react.

This will prevent you from entering a combat situation.

When they reach the boss room, the chasing soldiers will consciously stop chasing and return to their posts.

"Boss, can we really find the meteorite by running around like this!" Jade followed Ximu's footsteps and swerved around the castle. In this regard, Xi Mu confidently gave an explanation.

"I have divined where the meteorite is."

"Boss, you and Lady Hecate have only been studying magic for a few days!" Geed couldn't help but complain, knowing Ximu's learning status very well.

In the Magic King's City, he was either killing people or on the way to kill people, so there was basically no time to learn magic.

When a normal person learns magic, they not only need to memorize a large amount of knowledge, but also practice it slowly. This is especially true for divination, which cannot be learned in a short period of time.

Otherwise, the profession of diviner would not be so precious.

"You can learn it by just reading it briefly." Ximu explained casually, then he suddenly stopped suddenly, turned around and ran in another direction.

Geed: "..."

She suddenly remembered the boss's settings. He seemed to be an extremely powerful genius who could learn it at a glance. It seemed understandable that the boss now mastered advanced astrology.

It is also clearly recorded in history that some geniuses can copy the magic of others and use it even better just by looking at it.

So her boss should also be this type of person.

"arrive."

Ximu stopped and came to the door of the boss. He ignored the knights chasing after him from a distance and kicked the door open.

Then, a tired sigh came out. When the knights chasing from a distance heard the sound, they immediately stopped and then began to retreat.

"Outsider, you have a disgusting smell." The tired female voice revealed hatred, "That's the breath of the gods."

"..."

Ximu didn't answer, and looked at each other with Ged, and then walked into the room alone, while Ged was stationed outside the door.

Entering the room, the first thing that catches the eye is the dangerous girl in red. She is sitting on a chair made of gems and gold, holding her chin with one hand.

"Let me guess which goddess you believe in." The girl looked at the knight who came to her and casually stretched out her green-white fingers.

"She's the goddess of life, right?"

"..." Ximu didn't answer. He came to the side of the room, looked at the locked treasure chest, and smashed it hard with his big sword.

The lock fell and the treasure chest was opened.

As expected, inside is the Magic Queen's meteorite, which is an important material that can strengthen his weapon to plus ten.

"Hey...Human, I'm talking to you!" The girl looked at the Silver Knight's arrogant look and was very angry.

When Ximu heard this, he finally reacted. He took out the meteor from the treasure box and came to the Ghost Queen.

"You want me to pray to the goddess of life to break the curse of immortality." He handed over the meteor in his hand, "The reward is the meteor in my hand?"

Ghost Queen: "..."

What was going on with this human, why she already knew what she wanted to do without saying anything.

"Okay." Ximu nodded and agreed, but the Ghost Queen suddenly didn't know how to speak.

Under normal circumstances, she would not have fought with the intruder. After she won, she showed the grace of a queen and let the intruder go.

Then she would start the transaction, first telling the miserable situation of the people in the city, explaining it rationally, and moving them emotionally, and then she would use the wealth in the city as bait to deceive... Well, please, those favored by the gods, please... Pray to the goddess to forgive their sins.

"Wait, why do you know what I'm thinking?" The Ghost Queen looked at Ximu, who was about to leave, and said suspiciously:
"And will you really ask the goddess to lift the curse as promised?"

Ximu replied: "I will pray to the goddess of life about your situation. As for whether the goddess of life is willing to lift your curse, that depends on the goddess of life."

In fact, it is possible for the Goddess of Life to lift the curse of this city, but the prerequisite is that the Goddess of Life has a high enough favorability towards the player, and then builds a church of the Goddess of Life in the city.

After the number of residents in the city admit their mistakes reaches a certain level, the curse can be lifted and everyone will be given the opportunity to be reincarnated.

However, if the curse fails to be lifted, the Ghost Queen will become completely desperate and attack the player.

After the Ghost Queen is defeated, she will go to the square in despair and apologize to the speed of light falling in the crater.

At that time, even if the player attacks the Ghost Queen, there will be no resistance. The Ghost Queen will only cry sadly and regard the player's attack as her own... atonement.

After all, it was the Ghost Queen who led the entire city to convert to the Witch of Creation, causing her country to fall into destruction.

So the Ghost Queen is always in a state of guilt and pain.

"I have no way of believing that you will pray truthfully to the Goddess of Life." The Ghost Queen shook her head indifferently.

"Unless you……"

"There is no church for the Goddess of Life in this city." Ximu said casually, "Unless you are willing to smash the statue of the Witch of Creation and replace it with the statue of the Goddess of Life."

The atmosphere became stagnant.

The Ghost Queen looked at the Silver Knight's cold eyes. She wanted to scold this human being for being disrespectful, but thinking of the miserable condition of her people, she couldn't say no.

She bit her lower lip, showing a struggling look.

"..." Ximu didn't urge her. Looking at the sad and resigned expression of the Ghost Queen, she seduced with a devilish whisper:

"The Witch of Creation has been dead for many years anyway, so I can't blame you."

This is a lie. Although people believe that the Witch of Creation is dead, the truth is that the Witch of Creation was sealed to hell.

When he opens the door to hell in the future, the Witch of Creation will return.

"..." The Ghost Queen opened her mouth, looking very... embarrassed. Then, as if to escape, she asked.

"Why do you know so much about everything I want to do?"

"Changing the topic is not a clever method." Ximu smiled and took a step forward, raised his hand and pinched the Ghost Queen's chin, forcing her to look at him.

"You have no choice but to choose one or the other."

"Aren't you also changing the subject?" The Ghost Queen bit her lower lip and stared back as if refusing to admit defeat, and then Ximu withdrew her hand upon seeing this.

"Your Majesty, you don't want your people to suffer the curse of immortality forever, right?" His smile was gentle, but his voice was cold.

"Of course, I can understand if you keep insisting on your faith and wait for the creation witch who can never come back."

"Don't force me to make a choice so quickly." The Ghost Queen seemed to be pleading, and her pitiful appearance was hard not to make people feel soft.

However, Ximu did not waver at all, and said coldly: "I have more important things, and I don't have time to wait for you to make a decision."

If he is willing to slowly wait for the Ghost Queen to make a choice, and supplement it with some gentle attacks, he can maximize the Ghost Queen's favorability and make the Ghost Queen a summoned object to accompany the player in the battle.

However, he already has ten types of shadow magic and does not need the Ghost Queen's assistance unless the Ghost Queen can provide other uses.

It's a pity that it is impossible for the Virgin Game official to allow this kind of thing.
