Chapter 457 Kind Xiaoling
Chapter 457 Kind Xiaoling
The next morning, Xiaoling came to the cottage again alone. When she was about to put the necklace back into the box, an old and weak figure appeared in front of her. It was the soul of an old woman. "Thank you," the old woman's voice was low and hoarse, "I have been trapped by the curse for many years, and only a kind-hearted person can break the curse."
It turned out that this silver necklace once belonged to the old woman. Because of an accident, it angered a dark scholar and a powerful curse was imposed on her. The old woman's soul could not be freed after her death. She could only wait for someone to wear the necklace and be willing to give up this exquisite necklace and return it in person to lift the curse. This was originally an unsolvable curse in the abyss. Because of Xiaoling's kindness, the curse that should have trapped the old woman forever was lifted. Fortunately, the curse did not harm Xiaoling, but she had trouble sleeping for a long time and felt a little uncomfortable. However, in the end, the curse that had trapped her for many years was finally lifted.
After returning the necklace, a silver light flashed, and the old woman's soul turned into a little light and dissipated in the air, and the silver necklace disappeared. Everything returned to normal, Xiao Ling felt relieved, and became more convinced that no matter what difficulties she faced, as long as she remained kind, miracles would always happen. From then on, there was no abnormality in the forest, and the cursed hut gradually became a legend among the villagers. "
Xingluo looked at Camilla in confusion. This story didn't seem to explain why he needed so many cursed objects. Camilla seemed to see Xingluo's confusion and continued, "Xiaoling is my benefactor. After that, she accidentally touched the curse again. She finally escaped and suffered a lot. So I want to collect more cursed objects, and then when she accidentally touches the curse again, I can help her get out."
Although Xingluo felt that Camilla might have some problems with her brain, this was indeed a stupid method. It was probably because Camilla had no talent for making cursed objects, so she had to do this.
"I heard that the members of the Abyss Society are experts in making cursed objects, so I joined. I was afraid that Xiaoling would fall into the curse again in the future, and I wanted to save her or find someone to save her." After Camilla finished speaking, she stared at Xingluo, and her tentacles stopped fluttering.
Xingluo understood what Camilla meant, and he suddenly felt that it would be nice to have a creature like Camilla in this abyss, so that it wouldn't be so cold.
"Don't worry, if you need me at the time, I will help you to the best of my ability." Xingluo said.
Camilla was obviously relieved. Getting Xingluo's assurance made him feel a lot more at ease. He was really worried about Xiaoling, who was running around everywhere.
Xingluo was still a little confused. Was this Xiaoling an abyss creature or a demon? Or something else, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After saying goodbye to Camilla, Xingluo returned to the inn and continued reading. He borrowed a lot of books this time. The history of the abyss seemed to be even longer than that of the main material plane. Mainly, there was no fault, so the knowledge reserve was relatively rich.
Xingluo has been busy reading these days, but his magic power has been growing continuously, and he is almost reaching the peak of a high-level magician. The speed is very fast. Xingluo has experienced the joy of re-cultivation. Not only has he made rapid progress, but he has also been able to make up for some things that he had neglected before.
Xingluo lived a fulfilling life every day, but he also had a vague anxiety. He always wanted to leave the abyss and return to the main material plane. He never gave up. After all, his friends were there, and the organization he had built with his own hands was there.
Although the Abyss is a world where the strong prey on the weak, it also respects the strong and pays more attention to talents. Xingluo has proved himself in the Abyss Society's membership assessment, so the resources of the Abyss Society are directly tilted towards him. Not only can he borrow books at will, he can even exchange them for some rare dark materials through barter. Especially the place where cursed objects are made is open to him for free. Of course, Xingluo did not waste these privileges. In addition to studying, he would also practice and make a few cursed objects. Some of them were sold to Camilla, and some were taken directly to the Abyss Society in exchange for dark materials.
Camilla joined the Abyss Society as a thug, which is not entirely useless. Many of the materials here need to be collected by people like Camilla, and they are extremely difficult to obtain. Some people who lack combat power will never return.
After all, Abyss Scholars have their advantages in making cursed objects, but their combat power is indeed a bit insufficient, so they need beings like Camilla to help collect them, so that they have more time to make cursed objects. Xingluo feels that the Abyss has a great demand for cursed objects. Not only creatures like Camilla have special needs for cursed objects, but many demons directly regard cursed objects as essential equipment for battle. This is similar to the main material plane, but the main material plane has many alchemists who can make alchemical equipment, but there seem to be fewer who can make cursed objects. Moreover, not only this layer of the abyss, but other layers also need cursed objects.
Xingluo was very interested in cross-layer transactions. After all, this was the key to his leaving the abyss, so he would intentionally or unintentionally create some cursed objects, and even put forward some special requirements, such as the need to trade directly with the buyer, and even give up part of the profits for this.
Xingluo's behavior is not surprising. After all, many buyers also hope to trade directly with the maker, so that they can grasp more details of the cursed object and even make targeted modifications. Xingluo will make a few cursed objects and sell them after reading the book.
"You are not from this level of the abyss?" Xingluo asked softly as he looked at the demon who came to buy this time.
"Oh? Why do you think so?" The devil looked at Xingluo calmly and said.
"There's something special about your clothes and your aura. So I guess you're not from this layer of the abyss." Xingluo didn't say one more thing. Because of his strong mental power, he was already very familiar with the mental fluctuations of the demons in this layer of the abyss. Although every demon was different, the demons in the same layer of the abyss still had some similarities. This was a subtle difference that could only be grasped by constantly relying on mental scanning. Xingluo relied on his strong mental power and often did this kind of thing, so as soon as the other party came over, he noticed something unusual.
"I need you to modify this cursed object so that the user will be affected by the curse every time he uses it. But not too much, just a little bit. Over the years, the body will collapse little by little until death in a few years." The devil did not answer Xingluo, but continued.
