22. I can't abandon my brothers!

Hiss—

My head hurts so much.

Norn opened his eyes in a daze, his face still radiating the pain of being burned.

Fire?

Ah, I remember now.

My head was on fire when I was inside that Ryoko monster.

But where is this place?

Norn stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling, its intricate geometric patterns dazzling him.

Only then did he realize that he was lying on a soft, large bed, enveloped in a fluffy blanket that exuded a faint floral fragrance.

Judging from the room's environment, it seemed to be some kind of inn. Although the conditions were still not as good as the inn he stayed at in Baserón, it was much better than his shabby inn that cost 20 copper coins a night.

Norn sat up, still not understanding his situation, when the door was pushed open.

A white-haired young woman dressed in a white robe walked in, carrying a bowl of meat porridge.

When she saw Norn wake up, a barely perceptible look of surprise flashed across her face.

Louisa?

What is she doing here?

Norn watched warily as she walked to the bedside, sat down, and placed the bowl of meat porridge on the small table.

"It's good that you're awake. Now I don't have to feed you myself."

Seeing that Norn was still looking at her nervously, Louisa continued, "What's there to be nervous about? I'm not going to drag you back to Bathurn."

!!!

Damn it, this guy knows who I am!

Norn was shocked. A silver-white magic circle appeared on his left hand, which was hidden under the blanket. The next second, he suddenly raised his hand and shot a white snake at Louisa.

The lightning struck the invisible barrier in front of Louisa and spread outwards, disappearing into the surrounding area.

"Why are you so agitated? Could it be that you really helped Gicasson murder the king?"

"I didn't! That bastard tricked me into lending him the money because he wanted to use the Taoist temple. I'm being framed!"

Louisa chuckled, then her expression turned cold as she said, "Whether you're innocent or not, the fact remains that Gicasson used your hands to assassinate you. If the kingdom discovers you're still alive, you'll still face certain death."

"So what are you planning to do? If you protect a criminal like me, you'll be implicated too, won't you?"

"Of course, it's not just me; my father, Duke Scalander, and my sister will all be affected. But you saved my life, and you also saved my sister Austin's life. I will always remember this kindness."

Louisa paused. "I won't hand you over, nor will I tell my father, but to avoid implicating them, I hope you can leave the Proncia region."

"Leave here? Where do I go then?"

"Go wherever you want, anywhere is fine, just don't show up here. If you agree, I'll give you a huge sum of money so you can live a life of comfort for the rest of your life."

Norn didn't care at all. Wasn't the reason he sold his body to become an adventurer to achieve financial freedom? Now that the opportunity to lie down and relax was right in front of him, he had no reason not to agree.

"No problem, you can send me as far away as you want, but how much are you willing to pay?"

Louisa rested her chin on two fingers and thought for a moment, then said, "Name a number."

Norn spread his five fingers. "Fifty thousand gold coins!"

"That's an outrageous amount, deal."

Seeing that Norn was easy to talk to, Louisa's attitude immediately softened.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she asked with great interest:

"I heard from the person who helped you change that you don't have anything down there. Can you tell me what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Norn's face flushed red instantly, and he had no choice but to reveal how he had cut off his tail to save his life.

As he was talking, Norn suddenly realized that the young girl in front of him was the most talented magician in the entire kingdom. Maybe she could help him break the killing curse that Angre had placed on him?

"The Killing Curse! Do you know this spell?"

Norn turned around and pulled down his shirt collar to reveal the brand on the back of his neck.

Louisa stared at it for a long time, then shook her head:

"My knowledge of magic should be quite comprehensive, but I've never heard of this magic before, nor have I ever seen this mark."

"This was a spell cast by someone commissioned by Duke Angre; he seemed to have said that person was a dark sorcerer."

"That's right!" Louisa clapped her hands. "Dark magic is something that has only emerged in recent years. There are currently no books that systematically record it, which is why I didn't know about it."

"Do you have a way to help me get rid of it? It's related to my happy life," Norn asked expectantly.

"I can try purification magic; it can remove the curse."

After speaking, Louisa stretched out her hands and summoned a pure white magic circle, but stopped after trying it for a while.

"You can't do it. This curse is too deeply ingrained in you; it's almost become one with you."

"I knew it." Norn sighed helplessly.

"The one who tied the knot must untie it. If you can find other dark magicians, perhaps they can help you break the curse," Louisa suggested.

"But where should I look?" Norn pondered, resting his chin on his hand.

Louisa pondered for a moment, then said, "I have a plan, but it's somewhat dangerous."

"The casting of dark magic requires blood crystals imbued with the magic power of demon gods. These crystals are extremely rare and their acquisition methods are unknown. If you can spread the rumor in the black market that you possess blood crystals, a dark mage might come knocking on your door."

"However, most black magicians are crazy and cruel lunatics. If they find out you lied to them, you probably won't live to spend those 50,000 gold coins."

"Another method is to go deep into the dungeon and get a real blood crystal, but this is probably not much safer than the previous method."

Louisa made her point clear, obviously wanting Norn to take the money and run, and stop thinking about her manhood.

But Norn was adamant, determined to reclaim his masculine dignity: "That's easy! I just need to lure the dark sorcerers here, and then you can threaten them to break the curse!"

Louisa was displeased after hearing this. Why did she have to wear it herself?

"No way! You think I'm staying here to take care of you? I'm planning to wait until you wake up, explain everything, and then go back. You want me to be your bodyguard? No way!"

"There's no other way then, I'll figure it out myself."

"Can't you just take the money and leave? I really don't understand why you men are so obsessed with that stuff."

Louisa stood up and walked to the door, then turned back and said, "If you're planning to leave, remember to ask me for your money. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be staying at Duke Scalander's mansion for a long time to come."

If I'm not around, you can go to my sister Austin; she'll know.

After saying that, Louisa pushed open the door and left, leaving Norn alone in the room drinking porridge.

Then Norn suddenly realized he had gained weight.

No, it's that the organ that was transferred out has returned.

Norn habitually brought up their panels, and without exception, all of them had been upgraded, especially the digestive system, which had gained the [Iron Stomach] trait.

Now, even if Norn eats rotten flesh that has been soaking in the Ganges for three days and three nights, he won't get diarrhea.

Not bad. I'll go out again later to see if there are any suitable livestock to transfer.
