Chapter 246: Curse of Soul Drying

Today's Dawn Cathedral, but it is surprisingly lively, when Lin Li passed, he saw more than a dozen carriages parked outside the door, it looked like a busy scene, for a while Lin Li couldn't help but have some doubts, although he has been nesting in the Magic Guild, but occasionally there are things passing by here is not once or twice, he has never seen the Dawn Cathedral as lively as today.

The kingdom of Fran is a country of magic, in this land, even children know that becoming a magician is the best way out, they believe in powerful elemental power, yearn for mysterious magical knowledge, and have been repeatedly learned from birth, and strive to learn magic knowledge and become a real magician.

Hundreds of years ago, the Temple of Light wanted to spread the teachings of the Holy Light to this land, but what awaited them was not the pomp of the Holy Light shining on the Fran, but the fierce resistance that had never been precedented, from the members of the royal family to the peddlers, no one was willing to believe in the Holy Light, and none of them were devout believers, their hearts had long been filled with magic, and not even the slightest place was left for the Holy Light.

An innkeeper once said that if a magician and a priest visit his inn at the same time, then the magician can get the best service, but the priest can only hide in the corner and nibble on black bread, which is the embarrassing situation of the Holy Light Doctrine in the kingdom of France.

The Temple of Light has worked hard for hundreds of years, but nothing has come of it, and in the end, even His Majesty the Pope had to angrily declare: "Let those damned heretics go to hell with their damned magic!" ”

In the last hundred years, there have been no priests willing to come to the Kingdom of France again, because they know in their hearts that there is no point in spreading the Holy Light here, and even the most fanatical believers have to admit that the people of this land have even magical elements in their blood, and even the most devout believers cannot influence them with many miracles.

The Cathedral of Dawn, one of the few churches in the Kingdom of France, is responsible for spreading the teachings here by the Archbishop of Rennes, an unlucky middle-aged fat man.

This middle-aged fat man was indeed very unlucky, a dignified fifteenth-level priest and a bishop with a bright future, but because he offended a powerful figure in the Temple of Light, he was assigned to the place of Orana.

In this land, not to mention fifteenth-level priests, even twentieth-level priests have no market, no one cares what the holy light is, and no one cares about the teachings he spreads, in Orana, Wren is more regarded as a good doctor, and it is also a free kind, the only group of people who often set foot in the Dawn Cathedral, I'm afraid there are only those low-level adventurers, who are injured in the fight with the demonic beasts, and who do you want to cure if you don't want to spend money? Of course, it was to find Bishop Wren, and at this time, the effect of his magic was still good...... As for these cured low-level adventurers, how many of them are willing to listen to his teachings on spreading the Holy Light, I'm afraid only the ghosts know...... And the heads of the major forces of Orlana, no one took him seriously, in the eyes of those big people, Wren is just a pitiful worm, the bishop of the Temple of Light, but he has no power, let alone a few believers, all his things add up, I am afraid that it is only this majestic and holy on the outside, but cold and deserted on the inside.

Wren's life is indeed very miserable, in Orlana for twenty years of spreading doctrines, all believers may not add up to more than double digits, this kind of saying is simply worse than death, in the past twenty years, Wren has tried every means to transfer out of this damn place, in the entire Temple of Light, Wren is definitely the most diligent bishop, at least six months of the year is not in Orana, running around looking for relationships and favors, in order to find an opportunity to transfer out of Orlana in the annual debriefing.

No, I went back last month...... Who knows, as soon as Wren left, the Dawn Cathedral suddenly became lively, several young priests were busy, receiving the big people who came and went, so that Lin Li stood at the door for ten minutes, and no priest came to greet him...... Lin Li stood at the door for most of the day, he couldn't stand still, and when a young priest passed by, Lin Li hurriedly stopped him: "May I ask if Archbishop Enlos is there?" ”

"Are you ......" The young priest glanced at Lin Li, with a little vigilance in his eyes, there were too many people who came to Archbishop Enlos in the past half month, of course, none of them were devout believers, and none of them were willing to believe in the Holy Light, these people who suddenly poured into the Dawn Cathedral, without exception, were all to get potions from Archbishop Enros.

No way, who made Archbishop Enroth a master of apothecaries...... After more than ten days in a row, several young pastors had already learned how to look at people.

It's like the magician in front of him, he looks alive and young, which means that he has no status, and he is wearing an ordinary robe, which means that he has no money, coupled with an anxious look, this is mostly because his relatives or friends are injured...... I have no status and no money, my relatives and friends are injured again, what are you doing when you come to the Dawn Cathedral, do you need to say more? In the past half month, they have seen too many such people.

"My name is Ferry, and I'm from the Magic Guild."

"Oh......" A young priest nodded, and then unceremoniously issued an eviction order: "I'm sorry Mr. Magician, Archbishop Enlos is resting, if you are here for the potion, I advise you not to bother in vain, you are not the only one who has come here to ask for the potion in the past half month." ”

"......" Lin Li almost choked to death with saliva, he wanted to defend himself a few words, but as soon as he saw the young pastor's determined look, Lin Li knew that it was useless to justify, because in the eyes of this young pastor, he had become an undesirable persona non grata.

If this had changed before, Lin Li would probably have turned around and left, anyway, it wouldn't be interesting to get along with a few young priests, if he wasn't popular, he wouldn't be popular, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat anyway, but this time it didn't work, Ou Ling was still lying on the hospital bed, if he didn't find Enros, even if Hoffman was proficient in the curse, he might not be able to save the weak Ou Ling.

"Get out of the way!" Under the anxiety in his heart, Lin Li couldn't care so much, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pushed the two young priests who were stopping in front of him to the side, followed by a group of onlookers in astonishment, raised his feet and rushed into the cathedral.

Today's Dawn Cathedral is not the previous Dawn Cathedral, for more than ten days, people ask every day, even if no one paid attention to the young priests before, they have already cultivated their temper, at this time seeing that this young magician is so ignorant of the rules, several young priests immediately became angry, one of them was fast enough, one grabbed Lin Li's robe, and the other stopped in front of Lin Li.

"Stop!"

"Get out of the way!" The roommate who got along for two months was still lying on the hospital bed, and he didn't even know whether he was alive or dead, Lin Li had long held back the evil fire in his stomach and had nowhere to go, and at this time he was suddenly grabbed by someone and his robe, and the evil fire suddenly jumped up, and he kept rushing to the church, and he released a repelling technique without looking back.

A young priest is only level five, how can he withstand the power of the Great Magister? In an instant, a muffled "bang" was heard, and before the young priest's robe could grasp it, it was knocked into the air by an irresistible force, and the whole person was like a stone, slamming into the opposite street.

"Boy, I warn you, this is the Dawn Cathedral, the place of the Temple of Light, if you dare to mess around, even the Magic Guild may not be able to protect you!" The two young priests next to him saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly threatened with a fierce face.

"I'll say it again, get out of the way!" Lin Li's eyes flashed with fierce light, and a violent magic fluctuation emitted violently, if Mason or Kevin were here, I am afraid that it would be bad when I saw this posture, this guy was definitely really angry, if anyone stopped in front of him again, I am afraid that it would really kill someone.

It's a pity that a few young priests didn't know how dangerous the person standing in front of them was, although they were a little scared in their hearts, but when they thought that there was Archbishop Enlos in charge, their courage suddenly grew again, and several young priests stopped at the door, staring at Lin Li without fear.

The two sides argued, and the door of the Dawn Cathedral suddenly became chaotic, and in the dozen or so carriages parked outside the door, some people poked their heads out from time to time to watch, all wanting to see who was so bold to dare to come to the Dawn Cathedral at this time to make trouble, you must know that it is not the waste of Rennes who is sitting in it now, but Enloth, one of the four archbishops of the Temple of Light!

This young magician is afraid that he is going to be unlucky.

A group of people who were watching the excitement were talking about each other, but suddenly they felt a cold breath coming from a distance, and everyone looked back in astonishment, and saw an old man wrapped in a black robe, whose face was as white as a dead corpse, getting out of a carriage.

"Oops, why is this old guy here...... Several of the onlookers who knew the situation were immediately startled, they had seen this old guy more than once or twice in the past ten days, he was a real monster who killed people without blinking!

Almost at the same time as the old man got out of the carriage, the onlookers hurriedly retracted their heads again, and their hearts were secretly worried about the young magician, but unfortunately, a young man, this time I am afraid that it will be completely finished, and it is just a matter of breaking into the Dawn Cathedral, but I also encountered this half-human, half-undead monster, he and Enloth are not ordinary friendships, this time this young man is afraid that it will be over, and he does not know whether he will be turned into a skeleton or a zombie, it is really pitiful...... No one expected that the young magician would actually laugh.

What no one expected was that the old man, whose face was as pale as a zombie, actually smiled...... "Master Ferry, why is it so coincidental?" Sendros couldn't help but laugh, since the exchange meeting of the Apothecary Guild, he had been trying to talk to this genius pharmacist, but unfortunately he went to the Magic Guild twice, but both times he was in vain, but he heard someone say a few days ago that Hoffman's fat man seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with this genius pharmacist.

Sendros felt that he couldn't wait any longer, and if he continued to wait, this genius who shocked the Elixir world of the Kingdom of Fran would probably be poached by other forces, which was definitely not what the Dark Temple wanted to see.

I came to the Dawn Cathedral today to discuss with Enlos to see if there was any possibility of cooperation between the Temple of Darkness and the Temple of Light in this matter.

I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, I didn't have time to discuss with Enlos, I found this genius pharmacist first, this kind of luck is like pie in the sky, not to mention that Sendros is still only a half-human, half-undead monster, even if he has become an undead in his entirety, I'm afraid he will laugh from ear to ear.

"Hehe, good afternoon, Master Sendros." Lin Li smiled, the relationship between Sendros and Enlos, he knows, since Sendros is here, there should be no problem when he sees Enlos, after a few polite greetings, Lin Licai asked again: "By the way, Master Sendros should have come to find Archbishop Enros when he came over this time, right?" ”

"Well, I just haven't had anything to do these days, so I'll come and talk to him."

"Great, I also happen to have a little trivial, I want to ask Archbishop Enlos for help, since Master Sendros is also going in, I wonder if you can help me speak?"

"Why don't you go in yourself?" Sendros frowned, and there was a bit of doubt in his voice: "Enroth would be very happy if he knew that you were here." ”

"This ......" Lin Li didn't say anything, just smiled helplessly.

This helpless look fell into his eyes, how could Sendros not understand?

"Isn't it you?" When Sendros stared at the young priests, there was no expression on his pale faces, but there was a faint flash of murder in his eyes.

"Master Sendros...... We...... We really don't know, this Mr. Magician knows you...... "Several young priests were really scared, they never thought that this young magician, who seemed to have no status, would know such a character as Sendros.

What the hell...... Who is Sendros? It was a terrifying existence that controlled an army of thousands of undead, it was definitely murderous without blinking, for him life was just a consumable, used to provide nourishment for his army of the undead, in the literature of the Temple of Light, Sendros had long been shaped into a bloody demon, and there were at least ten massacres alone that could be documented, and each time at least a thousand people died.

Who is not afraid of such a person? Several young priests, though devout believers, were not yet fanatical enough to be religious, and they were equally terrified in the face of a figure like Sendros, fearing that this half-human, half-undead monster would kill them and then use evil magic to turn them into undead.

Moreover, he was also a friend of Archbishop Enroth.

That's right, friends.

Those who don't know the inside story will probably never be able to figure out how they made friends with a magician who indulged in the undead and a priest who believed in the Holy Light. But whether you want to understand it or not, there is no doubt that the two are indeed friends, and the friendship between them is still terrifying, everyone knows that Sendros, an evil necromancer, can greatly influence Enroth's decision.

He didn't even have to do it himself, he only needed one sentence to make these young pastors fall into the abyss from which they could never recover.

The faces of several young pastors turned pale, and when they looked at Lin Li, there was already a faint look of begging for mercy in their eyes.

They know that the only thing they can hope for at this time is this magician, as long as he is willing to intercede for him, he can survive from Sendros's hands, as for the previous obstruction and dispute, he can no longer care about it, anyway, as long as he can save his surname, even if he loses someone, what is it?

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a little misunderstanding, just explain it clearly." Lin Li naturally couldn't have the same knowledge as a few little priests, so he just smiled and revealed the matter: "By the way, aren't you looking for Archbishop Enlos, why don't you go over together?" ”

"Okay." With Sendros's thoughts, how could he not understand that Lin Li was interceding for those little priests? However, he had already spoken, and Sendros naturally would not have trouble him for a few little priests, so he nodded immediately, and did not need those young priests to lead the way, and entered the Dawn Cathedral with ease.

"Enloth, look who I brought here!"

"Senderos, why are you free to see me today?"

"Haha, I'm not just here to see you, I've brought you an amazing guest!" Seeing his old friend Enroth, even this half-human, half-undead monster seemed to be a little more popular, and his miserable white face twitched twice, squeezing out a hint of an expression that might be a smile.

Enlos raised his head suspiciously, and then showed a surprised smile: "Master Ferry, I really didn't expect you to come to the Dawn Cathedral, I just went to the Magic Guild to look for you a few days ago, but unfortunately it's too unfortunate, you haven't come back after going twice......"

"Hehe, Archbishop Enlos, you are too polite, in front of the two of you, how can I be worthy of the title of master, you still call me Ferre."

"No, no, no......" Enlos invited the two into the reception room and sat down, and then said with a solemn face: "You have solved it, but the whole of the French Kingdom of Pharmacists have not been able to solve the problem, just by virtue of this, you deserve the title of master, by the way, Master Ferry, why are you so free today, you actually came to the Dawn Cathedral to see me?" ”

"This ......" Lin Li scratched his head, and he didn't hide much: "I have a friend who has been cursed and wants to ask Archbishop Enlos to help, I wonder if you have time?" ”

"Of course it's okay to help, but honestly, Master Ferry, I'm not good at curses, so instead of looking for me, you should go to Hoffman, he's a real curse expert."

"Mr. Hoffman, I have already asked people to invite, but this time, my friend's situation is more complicated, not only was he cursed, but also suffered a very serious external injury, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it when the curse is lifted, so I would like to ask you to help and use magic to treat his body."

"That's fine...... Enlos nodded, as one of the four archbishops of the Temple of Light, his attainments in divine arts are naturally not comparable to those of Wren and the like, even if a serious injury hits his hand, it can be easily cured.

"Great!"

"By the way, Master Ferry, may I ask what curse is in that friend of yours?"

"I don't really know about this, I just judged by his reaction, by the way, that curse is very strange, like a wisp of black smoke, constantly emitting from the wound, and I can feel that the curse is weakening my friend little by little, I am afraid he will not last long......"

"That's ......," Enroth nodded, lost in thought again.

Just when Enroth was hurting his brain, Sendros on the side suddenly interjected: "If I'm not mistaken, your friend is probably in a coma all along, right?" ”

"How do you know?"

"That's right......" Sendros didn't answer, but said to himself: "I've seen this curse before, it's called the Soul Drying Curse, it's a secret art handed down from the Dark Ages, I remember, a book of necromancy was introduced, and it says like this - it's a real demon, when you can master it, it will provide you with great power, but if you can't control it, this demon will devour you in an instant." ”

"Do you mean that this kind of soul dry curse is actually like a magic backfire, once you can't hurt the enemy, you are likely to hurt yourself?" When Lin Li heard this, his brows suddenly furrowed, could it be that this kind of soul dry curse was not given by Gryffindor, but because Ou Ling had learned some forbidden magic?

"Well, that's pretty much it...... Sendros said this, and couldn't help but shake his head: "To be honest, Master Ferry, this curse is the most troublesome, because it has existed for many years, and it has long been integrated into the bloodline, even if I know its principle, I don't know what to use to solve it." ”

"Senderos, don't say that, maybe Hoffman has a way." Enlos glared at his old friend, this guy is really, he has been an undead for decades, but his surname has not changed at all, what is the worst result and the worst end, he will definitely say that, although sometimes it is right, but it doesn't sound so comfortable.

"Hopefully......" Senderus nodded reluctantly, but his expression was a little disapproving.

"Archbishop Enlos, do you have time now? If you can, can you go over and see for yourself, I'm afraid my friend won't be able to wait long......" After listening to Sendros's words, Lin Li really couldn't sit still.

"No problem." Enroth was very simple, and agreed without saying a word.

"Why don't you go check it out too?" Sendros followed suit.

"Okay, please come with me, you two."

The three of them came out of the Dawn Cathedral, called a carriage and went straight to the Magic Guild, leaving only a few young priests, and a group of bored onlookers talking there, speculating about where this young magician was, and actually allowing the two big men of the Temple of Light and the Temple of Darkness to help, this is not a joke, Enlos is one of the archbishops of the Temple of Light, and Sendros is in charge of the Dark Temple with one hand, and the status of the two of them can be said to be very high, Being able to let the two of them help at the same time is probably a treatment that His Majesty may not be able to enjoy.

Especially those young priests, looking at the departing carriage, even sweat was scared, they knew that this young magician had such a deep background, even if they killed themselves, they didn't dare to stop him, wasn't this looking for death?

The carriage stopped outside the guild hall, and as soon as the two old men got out of the carriage, they saw a familiar figure.

"Haha, Hoffman, you're here too?" Hoffman's round body was so conspicuous that as soon as Sendros got out of the carriage, he recognized him from the crowd at a glance: "Why, why don't you hurry back to the Breeze Plains to see your daughter, and be careful of which kid who doesn't have long eyes hooked her up." ”

"Damn, Sendros, you shameless old skeleton, sooner or later I will let people poison your food......" Hoffman scolded, but suddenly remembered that the half-human monster in front of him didn't need to eat at all, so Hoffman scolded angrily: "No...... You shameless old skeleton doesn't need to eat at all, you better go back to the grave and gnaw on the corpse, Lao Tzu feels awkward standing with you......"

"......" Lin Li listened to the two old guys scolding, and suddenly his head was big, and he had to stand up and start a round: "Two, two, pay attention to the image!" ”

"Well, Master Ferrey is right, Lao Tzu is a successful person, and he can't deal with a half-human monster like you......" Hoffman scolded and entered the guild hall.

"This guy ......" Sendros shook his head almost in unison, and walked in after him.

Lin Li led the way in front and led the three of them to the guild medical room, and on the way, he also took the time to tell Hoffman about the general situation.

"Damn, it's actually a curse for the soul to dry up, this time it's a big trouble......" As soon as Hoffman heard his description, he immediately knew what the situation was, and for a moment, he couldn't help frowning tightly.

"What's the matter, Master Hoffman, there's nothing you can do with the Soul Drying Curse?" Looking at Hoffman's face, Lin Li's heart couldn't help but tighten, if even this curse expert couldn't do anything, then Ou Ling might be really bad luck this time.

"It's not that there's no way, but it's more troublesome......" Hoffman shook his head, but he didn't say anything about death, but the frown on the fat face never let go.

"What do you mean ......"

"I mean......" Hoffman stopped halfway through his words, "Forget it, let's take a look at your friend first, maybe it's not as serious as we thought." ”

"Yes."
