Chapter 205 Speech Forbidden Curse

In the dark and narrow wooden house, the candlelight danced, and the eerie red light reflected the mysterious man who was puffing.

"Since I don't intend to leave this hiding place, a supplier should be of great help."

He seemed to be muttering to himself, then suddenly turned his head and looked at the empty room: "What do you think, Bazar?"

The man covered in scars was concentrating on a heated discussion with the empty room behind him, and his conversation was only occasionally interrupted by an indirect nod. The scene looked extraordinarily weird, like a delusional psychopath.

Pfft, Bazar, why do I always think of Bazar?

Obviously this scene looked very weird, but Zhou Ze in front of the screen was not only calm in his heart, but even wanted to laugh.

After more than ten seconds, the guy who seemed to be talking to himself finally turned his gaze back to Kles.

"Maybe, we have a way to solve this problem, just need some small means..."

Rhodes grimaced with a piercing smile on his gloomy eyes.

Kress subconsciously took another step back: "I bet it's not a good thing."

"Bazar knows an ancient curse called the Speech Curse. This curse was used on spies and assassins in the past to prevent them from leaking secrets after they were caught."

Rhodes slowly said: "People who are cursed by the verbal curse cannot mention the name of the caster. Moreover, if the curse is stimulated to the limit, for example, when the interrogation is about to reach the verge of collapse of consciousness, the cursed person... will die."

"That sounds really reassuring."

Kress smiled bitterly: "Do I have a choice?"

"It was you who broke into our territory. As the owner of this place, Bazar and I have finished talking."

Rhodes ignored Kles' words, and asked in a deep voice, "Is it a curse? Or death?"

[Accept the curse], [Fight to the death].

Zhou Ze stared at the options on the screen in thought.

"The new development is not all a good thing. Either there will be a new curse on Kles, or there will be a fight with this mysterious man with unpredictable strength. I don't know what benefits will be gained after winning."

Judging from the opponent's sense of oppression, Kress alone cannot defeat him. He must summon game characters or temporary teammates to have a chance to win this battle.

What can you get after spending dozens of hundreds of merits and a huge price to win?
Don't know...

But from the previous battles of killing ghouls and bank lunatics, I didn’t get this point. It’s not difficult to see that the combat benefits of this game are not high. Taking the initiative to fight with people is definitely a loss-making business. There is no rpg game That kind of way of killing monsters and upgrading to make money.

"If you want to keep this archive and don't want to waste dozens or hundreds of merits, can you only accept the curse?"

This is Zhou Ze's conclusion after weighing the pros and cons.

Forget it, anyway, the main character in this save file has multiple curses that prohibit speech, which doesn't have much impact on daily actions.

If you don't get valuable items from this man named Rhodes or the plot unfolds, it's a big deal if you don't come to this dilapidated wooden house in the next save, can't you afford to hide if you can't mess with me?

After pressing the option, Kress took a step closer to Rhodes with difficulty.

Before the protagonist opened his mouth to agree, Rhodes had already started to resist in the Latin of the astrologer, and a small dot that looked like a drop of blood suddenly appeared out of thin air and dripped into his forehead.

[The protagonist suffers from a curse, increasing the negative state: speech forbidden curse]

[If key words such as Rhodes and Bazar are mentioned in the follow-up dialogue, the curse of instant death will be triggered. 】

Instant death curse?It does sound harsh.

"Didn't I tell you that this spell is cast quickly?"

A not-so-good-looking but slightly kind smile appeared at the corner of Rhodes' mouth.

"But don't be so sad, my friend, now we can be true allies...and it won't be long before you find that in such a town that is about to be wiped out, the warlock with the demon will be your right-hand man .”

"Okay, okay, whatever you say is right."

Kress touched his forehead, but found nothing. The curse was entangled in the depths of his soul invisible and formless.

At the end of the plot cg, the protagonist regains freedom of action and can choose whether to leave this room where mysterious characters are hidden.

"Demon Warlock? Is the Bazar he is talking about a demon?"

Zhou Ze in front of the screen was very interested in Rhodes' last words: "A warlock with a demon is interesting, I never thought that a real demon would exist in this form, following the summoner in an illusory and intangible way? "

This demon was different from what he had imagined, and he didn't know if it had an entity. Anyway, he couldn't see anything from the perspective of the protagonist, and even speaking, Rhodes was the only one talking to himself.

After gaining freedom, he didn't choose to leave immediately, but asked Cress to talk to Rhodes again.

[Option ①: No offense intended, but how did you become like this? 】

[Option ②: Do you want to make a deal? 】

[Option ③: Do you know how to escape from this lost city?Or something like that? 】

[Option ④: Where is the Bazar in your mouth?Why can't I see it? 】

Except for the second item which is a trading option, the other three are intelligence options!

Sure enough, the information that can be obtained from the new development is the most abundant!This trip was not in vain!
Come in order.

Ask the first question first.

"Do you think I like to talk about this topic? Do you think I have any good memories in private that I plan to talk about?"

Rhodes seemed to be poked in pain, and his expression became stiff and dull: "They destroyed me, ravaged me, humiliated me, until I lost all thoughts! Until they thought I was reborn!"

"Let's put it this way, I used to be more interested in studying science than worshiping those evil gods, and I was a firm materialist."

"So they decided to reinvent me."

"They decided to make me understand that seeking the truth is the ultimate path to unhappiness."

In a low voice, he imitated the tone of his tormentors: "'Under the divine glory of the Awakened One, there is no way to find peace except self-deprecation'... So they kept devaluing me until I Until there is only pain left!”

"These whip marks, these brand marks, and these nicks are all means they use to torture and belittle my soul, hehe, hehehe."

While talking, Rhodes let out a slightly nervous laugh, and finally the laughter gradually became smaller and stopped, and the topic ended.

them?This is what they mean heresy, right?

From the beginning, Rhodes mistakenly thought that Kress was the one who came to arrest him from the cult. It can be seen that he had suffered great pain in the cult before, and the whip marks all over his body were caused by the cultists.

The cult in the Lost City is indeed perverted.

Not only to torture people physically, but more terrifying seems to be mental torture.

If it is true as Rhodes said, he used to be a materialist who believed in science, and the cult even forcibly reshaped his worldview and values ​​through various torture methods, turning him into a demon with neither human nor ghost Warlock...

This is no longer just torture, but letting it knead and flatten people, forcibly changing people like objects.
