Full-Time Magister: Dark Lord

Even Chad looked at Cao Le in the same way.

Vani had always felt that Cao Le must have a solution; otherwise, he wouldn't have been so calm. Now, hearing what he said, he breathed a sigh of relief...

...

400. Curse Resolution Method

"The simplest way to break this curse is with Medusa's tears."

However, just when everyone was hoping that Cao Le would give some constructive advice, they heard a casual remark from him instead.

Upon hearing this, not only were the people from the European universities bewildered, but even Mo Fan and his group were somewhat dumbfounded.

Are you kidding me?!

Medusa's tears?

Medusa was at least a ruler-level or pseudo-monarch-level being!

Moreover, this is only the kind that is relatively weak in its infancy. If... it were to encounter a more powerful adult Medusa?

I can't even imagine...

This sounds like an extremely absurd thing.

"Why are you all staring at me like that? What you should be doing now is going out to gather information, find out where there are any traces of weaker Medusas, and then come back and report to me. As for what happens after that, Chad will need you, the local, to lead the way," Cao Le continued.

The others, upon hearing this, agreed...

At this point, staying here is definitely pointless.

In fact, waiting to die here is not a wise choice.

Seeing that everyone had been sent away, Heidi was also preparing to go out to search for some information when Cao Le pulled her into his arms.

"They can go, you just stay here and relax," Lü Qi muttered softly.

Heidi gave a soft "hmm" and did not refuse.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Manyan cursed "valuing women over friends" and then left.

...

Heidi was very soft, and holding her light body and perfect curves, Cao Le felt extremely comfortable.

Because of the curse, Heidi was somewhat distracted. She couldn't rest, couldn't cultivate, and yet she still had to deal with Medusa?

She just thought about it and it seemed impossible...

At the same time, she felt that Cao Le was truly willing to take risks for her.

Yes, Heidi subconsciously believed that Cao Le's search for Medusa's tears was clearly for her sake.

Leaving aside the Medusa clan, even snake demons with higher bloodlines are incredibly powerful and terrifying beings. Cao Le was clearly not cursed, yet he was willing to follow them to find Medusa. If not for her, then for whom?

At times like this, Heidi completely ignored people like Mo Fan.

Sometimes, a girl's self-control is just that powerful.

Cao Le showed no intention of waking Heidi from her emotional changes.

When Mo Fan and the others returned, the two of them were sitting there, a truly heart-wrenching sight...

"Damn, what time is it? You two are still in the mood to be so lovey-dovey???" Zhao Manyan came over and looked at the two of them sitting on the sofa snuggling together, complaining with dissatisfaction.

"What, is there news?" Cao Le asked in return.

Heidi completely ignored Zhao Manyan and remained unchanged.

"There's nothing important. Just like you heard, Medusa's tears can indeed break the curse," Zhao Manyan said helplessly.

“However, Mo Fan went to the Hunter’s Hall. Given his level, he should be able to get some information,” Mu Bai said.

"Ah."

Cao Le nodded, then looked at the two of them and said, "Alright, don't panic. It's just a snake curse, nothing serious. We can easily solve it by finding a little Medusa."

Zhao Manyan shrugged and said, "I'm not worried about that. I just feel that life is so boring. If it's like this for the rest of my life, I might as well be dead."

Previously, when Zhao Manyan was having a blast, even seeing a pretty girl's hair gave him the feeling of seeing a snake...

Let alone a lifetime, even if he were to remain in this state for just a few days, he felt he wouldn't be able to survive...

"This is our Golden Rose family's club, which has branches in several important cities. It's full of capable, powerful, and well-connected mages. I'm sure someone will soon send us information about the young Medusa," Ferrero said, sitting on a large leather sofa, looking somewhat dejected.

When he was investigating the information, he saw the shadow of a snake more than once outside.

Therefore, he was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Especially since he clearly disliked people like Cao Le, yet he still had to bow and scrape...

Cao Le didn't care about Ferroli's appearance at all. There were countless people like him who disliked him but couldn't get rid of him, so why should he care?

Ferrolier's message did arrive quickly, but the messenger delivered a rather useless message.

"At the Temple of Sunset." Just then, Mo Fan pushed open the door and entered, his face radiating confidence!

Everyone looked at him, and their first reaction was not surprise at having a precise location, but rather deep skepticism.

"He went to the Hunter's Alliance," Mu Bai explained to the group.

Just as Ferroli was about to say something, he saw Cao Le stand up: "If you believe me, follow me. If you don't, you'll have to figure it out yourselves."

Then Cao Le looked at Chad and said, "You can lead the way."

Chad glanced at Cao Le and agreed without much thought. This matter was largely due to his contracted beast. If it weren't for his contracted beast, they wouldn't have suffered the snake's curse, right?

Vani stood up and looked at the group, saying, "Of course we trust you, we just wanted to confirm it. After all, this is the realm of demons, we always need to be prepared, don't we?"

"Mo Fan, are you ready?" Cao Le asked Mo Fan again.

"Ready."

"He's a six-star hunter, so dispel your doubts. This is the last time."

Cao Le, looking very impatient, continued, "If this continues on the road ahead, you won't get a single drop of Medusa's tears."

Since he was saving them and didn't need them to make any significant contributions, Cao Le certainly wouldn't indulge them indefinitely.

Clearly, they've all been rather ungrateful.

Seeing this, how could the others dare to question anything further?

...

Chad had prepared the camel packs beforehand. He knew very well that gathering information required a lot of money, and if he had that kind of money, he wouldn't be in his current situation. Camel packs were essential for traveling in the desert; otherwise, the scorpion demons would relentlessly pursue them. Therefore, he had prepared them well in advance.

Meanwhile, when they set off again, Mo Fan also met Fenna, the staff officer he had met in Egypt. It seemed that Fenna had been promoted, but she still sent him a kind of herbal potion that could temporarily remove the effects on those who were cursed.

However, this thing is also a double-edged sword. It can make people no longer afraid of the snake eye curse for a short time, but once the effect wears off, the snake eye curse will spread more and more. In other words, if Medusa cannot be found during the duration of the herbal potion, then it is a dead end.

Cao Le didn't try to reassure them. Sometimes, the more you search for hope in despair, the less likely you are to have inappropriate thoughts...

Of course, Mo Fan still told Cao Le about the bounty before setting off.

Clearly, he didn't intend to take it all for himself...

...

401. Proceed to the Temple of Sunset

The Begoun region is the vast land area facing Cairo towards the Great Pyramid of Giza, stretching over 100 kilometers. This stretch of road has been a battlefield between humans and the Egyptian dead for thousands of years without ceasing.

The spirits of the dead never fade on the land of Bego, for a simple reason: wars constantly occur here, leading to constant death, and death breeds spirits—an unbreakable cycle in Egypt!

About seventy kilometers from the Great Pyramid of Giza, there is a long slope that, like a compass needle, marks the exact time when the Phantom Luna shines...

In a very cleverly placed location on Sunset Slope, there is an ancient ruined temple.

Like the people of China in the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins, the Egyptians long ago revered totem power. They relied on certain special forms of life to continue their lineage. At that time, the Temple of the Setting Sun was one of the largest temples in Egypt used to worship the gods they symbolized.

Then came the Pharaoh era. The pharaohs overthrew the ancient divine system and established Egypt's magical civilization. However, after they died, they became spirits and still did not give up their control over this golden land.

The Sunset Temple has existed for a long time. While it is vast and magnificent, it is also extremely dilapidated. No one has set foot there for a long time, mainly because many hunters die mysteriously before even getting close to the area of ​​the Sunset Temple.

“There are rumors that the pharaohs abandoned the ancient gods, and the spirits of the ancient gods have become weary of us humans, so anyone who gets close to them will be punished,” Chad said as he walked.

"Do you know what your Egyptian totems are?" Cao Le asked curiously.

Chad and his brother exchanged a glance, then simultaneously shook their heads. Neither of them really knew what a totem was...

He had always been curious about totems. A totem wasn't just a totem; it was also a national animal. Unfortunately, with the advent of the magical age, these ancient beings that had once protected humanity from extinction had completely disappeared...

Seeing that the two had no concept of totems, Cao Le lost interest. Mo Fan and Chad, on the other hand, chatted more enthusiastically, clearly interested in all sorts of strange and unusual things.

Heidi, standing beside Cao Le, looked at him and asked, "Are you very interested in totems?"

"Some of them, I think. These ancient beings have a special connection with me, but so far I've only ever seen the totems of the Chinese."

Hearing what Cao Le said, Heidi said, "In my family, there are some uncles who have recorded things about totems, but they only recorded their existence... As for whether they have seen them, I don't know."

"Could you introduce me to Uncle Zha sometime?" Cao Le asked.

“He has passed away…” Heidi shrugged, then added, “I only came across his record by chance. I’ll look for it when I go home next time, and if I find it, I’ll send it to you.”

"it is good..."

They encountered no trouble along the way. Even when they came across some demons, they either quickly killed them or successfully bypassed them.

"Did you notice? There are patrolling demons near the Sunset Temple. Those silver serpent warriors are leading the way, and they're all followed by a group of serpent-man soldiers. They shouldn't be wandering demons. It's best not to let them spot us," Chad whispered, pointing to a group of demons ahead.

The Silver Serpent Warriors are covered in silver scales and look like armored warriors riding serpent beasts from a distance. These Silver Serpent Warriors rarely appear on battlefields invading humans, but their presence signifies the presence of Medusa. They are Medusa's most loyal guardians!

"Since there are these Silver Serpent Warriors here, it means we've come to the right place," one of them said happily.

"But how do we get around them and get in here?" Zoe, a female student from the European academy, asked.

Chad smiled, looking experienced, and said, "Don't worry, I have a way..."

The Silver Serpent Warriors had a particular fondness for the Twilight Demon Rats, and he had noticed their existence before; their task was to drive them away...

As expected, the plan was successful. The group successfully passed through the area patrolled by the Silver Serpent Warriors, and the dark silhouette of the Sunset Temple gradually came into view under the moonlight.

Upon arriving at the location, Mo Fan indicated that they needed to wait there.

Although Vani was very curious, since he had chosen to trust the other party, he knew that if he kept nagging, he would likely be disliked, so he had no choice but to keep quiet.
