Noble Emblem

Looking at Lidong Lidong who was smiling but not smiling, Ralph Coburn clasped his hands. He held back his anger and tried his best to look calm and said: "In this case, I really have nothing to say...Joshua, look In the face of these adults, the grievances between you and me have been wiped out. I didn’t expect you, the unlucky guy, to be lucky enough to get acquainted with some big shots!"

Joshua had fainted at this time. Seeing that he could not get the verbal advantage, Ralph spat and left with his men in frustration.

The maid wanted to help her master back into the house, but after a person fell into a coma, his center of gravity would become extremely heavy, and she could not lift a person weighing more than a hundred pounds. Upon seeing this, Kyle picked up the person and carried him into the room, regardless of the pus all over his body and the acidic stench that hit his nostrils.

Seeing that the abscesses on the young master's body had just healed a little, they were almost all cracked open, and the greenish-yellow pus kept overflowing, and the maid burst into tears.

As a saint, Emma used healing techniques on Joshua, but the effect was not obvious because she had no way to temporarily break the law of cause and effect on Joshua like Liang Lidong did. But even so, Joshua Shua's Qi and blood have also improved significantly.

"If you don't cut off the root cause, no matter what you do, it will be useless." Liang Lidong leaned against the wall and said: "This is the legendary law of cause and effect. Generally speaking, except for legendary level characters, it is almost impossible to remove it. This terrible curse effect."

The other three people couldn't help being surprised and gasped in air-conditioning. Kyle was surprised and asked: "How did these two people get into trouble with a legendary figure, and how could a legendary figure be serious about being serious with a small family?"

As the daughter of an aristocratic family, Alice nodded repeatedly: "This is unreasonable. Not to mention the status of legendary figures, if the Taote family really wants to fall in love with them, it will either be considered as being provoked by ants. Too lazy to respond, or just wave To wipe out a small family with a wave of your hand is as simple as flattening an ant nest, so why do they need to apply the legendary law of causality to a few little people."

Liang Lidong explained: "I don't think it's because of 'people', I think it's because of things. Maybe the Taote family accidentally picked up some ancient relics... In knight novels, ancient relics are very important. Power. If you pick it up, your strength will be greatly increased, or it will be of great benefit to the family, but in fact, almost all ancient relics are sealed or cursed."

Hearing this, the maid suddenly screamed, and then she said: "Three years ago, our Taote family did pick up something from outside. It was a bracelet. It was very beautiful, but our family The old owners used magic to detect it and found that it was just an ordinary gemstone bracelet. Now imagine that the strange things happening in our Taote family did start not long after the bracelet was picked up at home."

Everyone was stunned, and the other three people all turned their attention to Liang Lidong, especially Emma. She became more and more confused about Liang Lidong.

Liang Lidong just guessed based on his intuition, but he didn't expect it. Really hitting the mark, he said: "Then can we see that piece of jewelry?"

The maid nodded, went to the basement, took the bracelet up, and put it on the table. This is a very beautiful gemstone bracelet for women, with unique patterns on the outside and inside. Emma looked at it for a moment. Alice shook her head. After a while, Alice also shook her head. Neither of them felt even a little bit of magic power fluctuation from this bracelet.

Liang Lidong picked up the bracelet, looked at it carefully, and said, "This is an object from the Zuze Dynasty. It is also a burial object of a great noble."

"How do you know?" Emma asked curiously.

Liang Lidong's hand crossed the outside of the bracelet: "These patterns are the words of the Zuze Kingdom. The outside says 'Dedicated to my beloved son, my miserable son', and the inside says the name of this family, 'Great, Only The family second to the royal family, Cronin of Qingfeng'."

Emma's eyes widened slightly: "You actually know the writing of Zuze Kingdom?"

"I understand a little bit." Liang Lidong put the bracelet on the table: "This bracelet is very valuable. Such a high-quality emerald is enough to sell for a high price. Moreover, it is an antique left over from the previous dynasty, and the price is even more. It will take several times to do it, and it will cost hundreds of gold coins no matter what."

"You are all so hungry that you have nothing to eat, but why didn't you sell this bracelet before?" Liang Lidong looked at the maid curiously: "Don't tell me, you just forgot."

The maid said with a grimace: "The young master refused to let me go, and his attitude was very firm, or maybe this bracelet has special meaning to him."

"It means a lot. This bracelet is my mother's favorite thing. She always wears it with her." At this time, Joshua woke up. He struggled to sit up and said, "Sir, I believe there is nothing wrong with this bracelet, otherwise Something happened to my mother a long time ago."

"There is indeed nothing wrong with this bracelet, but there is no guarantee that there will be nothing wrong with the place where it was dug out." Liang Lidong sighed and said: "People in the Zuze Dynasty attach great importance to death. Their tombs have powerful magic barriers, and even It’s a curse protection. For a family that is second only to the royal family, I believe that some strange magic will be set on the funeral objects of their sons to prevent future generations from robbing the tombs.”

There was silence in the room. Alice quietly stood next to Kyle, while Emma kept looking at Liang Lidong.

After a while, Joshua finally spoke: "It's the quarry. Our family dug a strange coffin in the quarry. There was only a body and this bracelet in it."

"I knew it." Liang Lidong sneered twice: "You dare to mess around with things belonging to the dead. I don't know whether to say that your Taote family is too powerful, or that you underestimate the magical attainments of the Zuze Kingdom. So let's put it this way , I bought this quarry at a total loss, there is a legendary level dead man inside, who dares to enter the quarry."

There was a bit of shame in Joshua's eyes, or maybe because of his excitement, two more drops of green-yellow pus fell from his face: "We didn't know that it was the tomb of the Kingdom of Kuze, we thought it was It's just a grave for ordinary people. The miners in our family threw the body in the coffin aside, and then found this bracelet from the coffin. Not long after, something happened to our family."

"Actually, we also vaguely guessed that it might be the cause of the coffin, and asked people from the Temple of Light to go in to exorcise the evil spirits. Although no one was sucked blood again after that, we were all infected with this terrible plague. He seemed to only recognize With the blood of our family, even if outsiders accidentally get it, they can be easily cured, but we are the only ones..."

Kyle interjected from the side: "Teacher. So as long as we destroy the coffin or the body, we should be able to break the curse."

It can be seen that Kyle has a kind heart again.

Liang Lidong nodded: "Theoretically, this is indeed the case."

At this time, the maid suddenly knelt down and said excitedly: "Sir, please help the young master. He is so pitiful. If this disease cannot be cured, then the inheritance of our Taote family will be cut off. .”

The other three members of the brave team all turned their expectant gazes to Liang Lidong. Awaiting his decision.

Liang Lidong originally wanted to refuse because he couldn't guarantee whether they would encounter the same problem if they were involved in this matter. But at this time, a system message suddenly popped up in the task system.

Branch task: Help the Taut family understand the law of constant causality.

This mission is purple and is the so-called elite mission. The difficulty of elite missions is not too high. It is far inferior to epic missions. There is also a legendary mission in the middle.

Since it is an elite mission, it can indeed help. After all, Liang Lidong is still on an epic mission. In comparison, the difficulty of elite missions is completely trivial.

And the character experience given by elite missions. It's really good, maybe there will be some other unexpected gains.

"Okay, let's go to the quarry now and have a look." Liang Lidong nodded and agreed.

Kyle laughed happily. For a person with his personality, after seeing how pitiful the master and servant were, he had long wanted to help them.

After one hour. The Taut family's quarry... should now be renamed Beta's quarry, because the Taut family's estate has now been renamed. To a certain extent, even if there were no branch tasks, Liang Lidong still had to kill the things in the quarry. If he wanted to get his money back quickly, he had to put the quarry into operation. Then sell the stones to the Goddess of Light Cult who is preparing to build a large temple. "

The quarry is underground, it is an underground stone mine.

Liang Lidong walked in the front because he had real vision. Even without lighting, he could see the road ahead clearly.

The mine was filled with the smell of green paint made of stone, which was not too exciting but unpleasant.

The stone field had been dug very deep. They walked for more than ten minutes but still did not reach the bottom. Alice seemed slightly claustrophobic as she walked behind Kyle, tugging tightly on her lover's sleeve. Emma acted very calmly, but she looked left and right with great interest.

Emma is very knowledgeable, but her rich knowledge and experience usually come from the illusion of prophecy. If there is something that does not appear in the prophecy illusion, she naturally does not understand it. She had never seen an underground world like this before in a fantasy world, so she was particularly curious.

The four of them walked for another ten minutes and finally found the coffin Joshua was talking about.

Naturally, people will be happy when they find their goal, but the situation in front of them makes them not happy at all.

There was a shimmering coffin, and there were many black mummies next to the coffin. Judging from the freshness of the clothing of these corpses, they should not have been dead for a few years. These people must be the missing people that Joshua mentioned.

Next to these mummies, there is a skeleton.

This skeleton can move. It is grabbing a mummy's arm and chewing it like it's chewing sugar cane, spitting out some bone fragments from time to time.

Hearing the voices of Liang Lidong and others, he stood up unsteadily and looked at the four uninvited guests.

In the eye holes of the skeleton, there were two groups of white soul fire... brighter than any skeleton soldier Liang Lidong had ever seen, and even comparable to the soul fire of the bone dragon.

"Who are you?" The air shook slightly, and then evolved into the lingua franca of Zuze Kingdom.

The other three people couldn't understand such language, but Liang Lidong could.

He was a little surprised. This was an intelligent skeleton. Undead creatures with the ability to think and reason were generally very strong.

"The person who came to break the constant law of cause and effect." Liang Lidong looked at the soul flame in the other person's eye hole and asked: "Those weird curses of the law of cause and effect of the Taote family must be your masterpiece."

"It's me, but it's not me." The skeleton came over. There was no trace of evil on it: "My name is Lincoln Cronin. I remember that I should have died in a sneak attack by the enemy family, but now I am alive again. Come here, but something is wrong with my body. I can't help but want to eat some meat, but after I eat the meat, it disappears, and I can get extremely weak energy."

He waved the mummy arm in his hand: "I know it bothers you that I eat these things, but I'm really hungry. I'm sorry."

Alice squatted to the side and vomited. Most people couldn't bear to see a skeleton eating mummified corpses. Emma's face turned pale, while Kyle's face turned blue.

Liang Lidong behaved normally. He was not interested in the origin of this skeleton. His attention was on another thing: "Why do you say that the law of constant causality is your work and not your handiwork?"

"It has something to do with me." The soul fire in the skull's eyes flashed: "But it was not done by me, but by my father. He set up a very powerful magic array for me. This array will be used for a few days after my death. It will be activated within a hundred days. If a thief dares to steal my burial objects, it will release a strange energy that will attract nearby people to commit suicide near the coffin. Then the flesh and blood of the deceased will turn into spiritual energy and be sucked away by the coffin. Used to awaken me who has died and turned into a skeleton."

"What's with all those pus?"

"If the formation is broken, the remaining magic power will cast a spell, cursing the tomb robber's family to a happy death." The skeleton's voice was full of self-blame: "Don't blame father for this, he just wanted me to It’s more comfortable to live in the underground world.”

"And I have been waiting for brave men like you here for almost two years. Fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise after a while, after eating these corpses, I will go crazy... Come on, you guys Kill me, and finally use light magic. That way I will die faster and I won’t be in so much pain.”

"Kill you? Why do you want to die?"

Liang Lidong was speechless.

But the skeleton said: "I am a dead person, and returning to the underworld is normal. I have no intention of resurrecting. The world after death is beautiful, but living is a kind of pain for me."

"Then why don't you commit suicide?" Liang Lidong asked. (To be continued.)
