The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

Alice naturally saw Rosa's embarrassment, and asked, "Is there any more difficult requirements on the other side? Why don't you tell me? My identity is a princess, maybe I can get what she needs. s things."

"It's true that we didn't negotiate, but what she wants is not something that a princess can get."

Rosa shook her head and explained, "Actually, I've heard about it before... She has encountered some difficulties recently, and it seems that her family has a very terrifying curse that cannot be lifted, so now she is looking around The one who helped her lift the curse of her family."

"...Could it be that her request is?"

Alice raised her brows and seemed to understand.

"Yes, that guy is desperately ill and goes to the doctor. As long as anyone asks for her, she has only one request, which is to help her family lift the curse."

Rosa gave a wry smile and spread her hands, "As long as you can help her get rid of that curse, she can help her with anything she can, so..."

"What was that curse like? Has anyone looked into it?"

Alice touched her chin. Judging from Rosa's previous attitude, it seemed that the thief had a very strong interpersonal relationship - as long as the commission related to the orc race would contact her, this evaluation is not bad, it is obvious that the other party is in The Orcs have a pretty good weight.

In this case, there must be many people who have thought about helping her family to lift the curse. Maybe someone has already found out what the curse is in the other party.

"I remember someone investigating it, but I had already abdicated from the thief profession at the time, so I didn't pay much attention... Let's take a look."

Rosa picked up the phone again, swiped on the screen a few times, and seemed to have found information, "I found it, it seems that it has been spread in the circle of thieves, it was her mother who was cursed, named 'Sunset Eclipse' 'The forbidden curse, the cursed person will gradually transform from the body to the spirit to the bug called 'Sunset Bug', and once the conversion is completed, he will never be able to become a human again."

"Forbidden curse... Is this guy offending something serious?"

Alice's mouth twitched—there are not many people who can use forbidden spells. Except for the two special beings, the hero and the demon king, they are basically the four kings of the demon clan, and the leader of the guard of the human king.

Of course, there are also some people who can use forbidden spells who do not like power very much, and may be scattered in various places, but most of them will not be unknown people with the strength to cast forbidden spells.

After all, with such strength, no one would be willing to be a beggar. Even if they did not hold important positions, these people basically had good economic conditions and fame.

"I don't know. In fact, she is also looking for someone who cursed her mother at the same time. If she finds it, she can also help her do one thing."

Rosa shook her head and was very curious about this situation. Many people may not see the forbidden curse in their lives, so people in the thieves circle are very curious about the person who imposed the forbidden curse on her mother, "So Are you going to try it?"

"Although I can learn forbidden spells, I don't know how to unlock them."

Rubbing her eyebrows, Alice said helplessly, "Is there any way to lift this 'sunset eclipse'? If I also learn 'sunset worm', can I get rid of this curse?"

"I'm afraid not. If this kind of curse is not lifted by the person who released the curse, even those who have learned the same forbidden curse will not be able to lift it."

Rosa's words shattered Alice's hopes, "In fact, the reason why this curse was recognized so quickly is also because it is actually very famous... The principle of 'magic binding' contained in this forbidden curse was Used in the early magic lock technology."

This is actually the original purpose for which these forbidden spells were developed - these forbidden spells cannot be used by ordinary people at all, but some of the principles have promoted the progress of magic science.

But obviously, the person who released the curse didn't care much about the principle use of the curse. He directly used the final function of the curse to curse the thief's mother.

"Sunset bugs are a type of beetle that only appears at sunset. According to research, at sunset, the magic in the air emits wavelengths that make the bugs feel comfortable. Usually, these bugs hide underground. "

Rosa knew that Alice knew almost nothing about some relatively unfamiliar knowledge, so she took the initiative to assume the responsibility of explaining, "Now her mother is using a plant called 'sunset grass' to suppress the 'sunset' as much as possible. Insect erosion', otherwise with the power of the forbidden spell, her mother may turn into a sunburst in less than a day, and can never recover."

Sunset grass, as the name suggests, is a plant that can simulate the magical fluctuations of the sunset. It seems that it should have the function of reluctantly suppressing the forbidden spell of "sunset worm eclipse", but it must not be suppressed for long.

"Do you know where to get the forbidden spell book of 'Sunset and Insect Eclipse'?"

Alice thought for a while and asked Rosa, "You should know that I have the ability to learn forbidden spells. Since I can't think of any other way to lift the forbidden spell, let me see the forbidden spell. Then...try to push back that forbidden spell."

Just like reversing 1+1=2 into 2-1=1, the principle of the forbidden curse is essentially the same as the formula. As long as it is reversed, the function of the forbidden curse can be reversed and the curse can be lifted.

This is not without precedent. The high school magic textbooks have said such a principle. For example, if the principle of fireball is reversed, the flame can be instantly disintegrated.

However, the magic formed by the reverse formula is very difficult to use, and most people will not spend so much effort to disintegrate a fireball technique, so currently this method only exists to the extent that it is casually mentioned in the textbook.

As for reversing the forbidden spell, it is even more impossible for ordinary people. Most people can use the forbidden spell.

But... Alice is different. It is not difficult for Alice to cast the forbidden spell, so even if the difficulty of pushing back the forbidden spell is increased, it is not impossible for Alice.

Rosa was obviously aware of this, so when she heard Alice's proposal, her eyes lit up:

"That's right - you are a brave man, you may be able to do things that others can't do. After all, for you, forbidden spells are almost the same as ordinary magic, so it is possible for you to reverse that forbidden spell. cursed."

After speaking, Rosa picked up the phone again and dialed:

"As for the forbidden curse books in "Sunset and Insect Eclipse", she has already collected them in order to lift the curse on her mother, so if you want to read the forbidden curse books, just find her directly. I will contact her now."

Chapter 190 IX You guys are going to guess the devil again, right?

The person who asked for help in the entire thieves circle was named Elodie Silvias - it sounded like a nobleman's name at first, but in fact, the other party's superficial identity was really a nobleman.

Alotti is the daughter of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of the Gryffin Kingdom. Of course, this identity is only known to very few people. After all, the profession of thieves is not clean. Once her true identity is exposed, then her life will be ruined. It won't get better.

As Rosa said, she and Elliot were friends, and as one of the few people who knew Elliot's true identity, Rosa took Alice directly to Elliot's house.

Although Elliot's identity cannot be told to others, it doesn't matter to tell Alice. Whether it is a hero or a princess, Alice's identity is higher than Elliot's, and there is no need to reveal her identity. Presumably Elliot Ti can understand.

"However, the wife of the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has been cursed at the forbidden level, so many people should hear about it."

Alice followed Rosa to the front of a villa, watched Rosa knock on the villa's door, and asked in a puzzled way, "If anyone who cares notices that Alotti's mother is exactly the same as a thief asking for help, You should have noticed the clue immediately."

"So the fact that Alotti's mother was hit by the Forbidden Curse was suppressed, and there was no publicity."

Rosa replied, "The minister also asked King Haight for help, and the king also attached great importance to it, and sent many well-known magic researchers to check, but they could not find a solution... Therefore, now Elliot can only put My hope lies in the relationships of the thieves."

It is true that, as the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, it is not impossible to issue a solicitation order to the whole country to call for talents who can remove the "sunset worm eclipse", but in that case, some people who are inconvenient to appear on the bright side will be excluded. .

After all, there are also a lot of underground talents, and many powerful magicians may be charged with some crimes, so it is impossible to blatantly show up to accept the bounty of a national nature. , isn't it about to miss it?

In order to ensure that those who cannot appear on the bright side can also be called in, just in case, the minister and Elliot also gave up issuing bounties with national power, and instead rely on underground bounties to find capable people. The people who have the ability are widely collected from the thieves' network.

It's a pity that there are very few people who can cast the forbidden curse, let alone to lift the curse of the forbidden curse level?Even people like the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race or Catherine could do nothing, so this matter has been delayed until now, more than a week has passed since the day of the curse.

After all, the suppressing power of the Sunset Grass is limited. If it is not resolved, it is estimated that after two or three days, Elliot's mother will really turn into a bug.

"coming."

In order to prevent the mother's affairs from being spread at will, all the servants in Alotti's family were temporarily dismissed on vacation. Only Aloty and her mother lived in this huge villa, and Aloty personally came to open the door. of.

As the door of the villa was opened, a blond girl appeared in front of Alice and Rosa with a weary face - it was obvious that the other party was Elliot, and it could be seen from the other party's expression that she It is estimated that the time has not rested well.

The thief's extensive network of contacts naturally brought her a lot of news, but it is a pity that many of them are simply trying their luck, using some partial but ineffective curse removal spells, so It didn't work at all, it just made Elliot even more tired.

"Is this the person you're talking about who might help me? Rosa."

Alotti's eyes were surrounded by dark circles, and her originally beautiful face turned into a very decadent look. She glanced at Alice who was following Rosa, and frowned slightly, "I Why do you feel a little familiar..."

"Looks like you're really tired."

Rosa smiled helplessly and pointed to Alice, "This is the Princess of Gryffin Kingdom, of course you will be familiar."

"Oh yes, it's Princess Alice... I'm sorry, I'm really in a bad mental state right now, so I didn't remember it for a while."

Elliot seemed to have finally reacted, and hurriedly gave Alice an aristocratic salute with a slightly deformed movement. She could see how tired she was now, "Is there any way for Her Royal Highness to relieve the 'Sunset Insect Eclipse'?"

"You may not know that Alice is a magic genius. Although she is still studying at the Royal Academy of Magic in March, she can already learn forbidden spells."

In order to convince Elliot, Rosa also revealed a little bit of Alice's strength. Of course, she did not say that Alice could easily learn and use the Forbidden Spell. After all, it is easy to think of the hero. Go, "And unlike ordinary people, Alice also has some understanding of the principle of forbidden spells, so I thought that she might be able to reverse the principle of 'sunset eclipse' and lift the curse on Auntie."

"Reverse derivation... Yes, it seems to be feasible."

Elliot's eyes lit up, and she seemed to have found a glimmer of hope—people like Catherine could use forbidden spells, but they didn't really analyze the principles of forbidden spells. They were purely combat-oriented talents. It is obviously unlikely that the principle of the forbidden spell can reverse the forbidden spell.

But Alice is different. She is a recognized magical genius and a research talent. If she has the ability to learn forbidden spells, then maybe she can actually decipher the curse of the setting sun and insect eclipse.

Thinking of this, Elliot hurriedly invited Alice and Rosa in:

"Then, please come with me. I will take you to see my mother. I also got a copy of the book "Sunset and Insect Eclipse" a few days ago, which can be used as a reference for you."

It could be seen that Elliot was in a panic and went to the doctor. If it was normal, I heard that Alice had been able to learn the Forbidden Spell, and most people would have doubts, but Elliot immediately believed it—maybe on the one hand. Out of trust in Rosa's friend, but on the other hand, it can be seen that she is indeed helpless.

Elliot's mother's room was on the second floor, Alice and Rosa followed Elliot up the stairs of the villa - the corridors, living rooms and other places along the way were covered with thick dust, it can be seen that these days Indeed, there are no servants to clean here.

But just as Alice walked up to the second floor, a somewhat familiar aura was keenly detected by Alice, her face changed, and she turned her eyes to the direction where the aura came from.

——It was an ordinary-looking room, and Elliot was walking towards that room with Alice and Rosa.

It seemed that that room was Charlotte's mother's room. If nothing else, Alotti's mother should be lying in that room.

But... Alice clearly felt just now that the breath coming from that room was the power of the Demon King.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Ellis didn't know that Alice was a hero, she just regarded her as Her Royal Highness with a strong magical talent, so even though Alice felt that the breath was the magic power of the Demon King, she couldn't say it directly, she could only follow Aurora. Tee went into her mother's room.

Sure enough, as soon as she entered the room, Alice saw the woman lying on the spacious and soft bed, and she could see that she looked very much like Elliot, a noble lady with a charming charm—but only in her face.

Because in addition to the human-like appearance of her face, her body has completely changed, her limbs are covered with reflective black carapace, and some parts of her chest that are clearly like a beetle's shell have pierced the skin and spread out.

In general, although the face still retains the appearance of a human, and the body still has the basic structure of a human, the skin has been almost completely replaced by the shell of the beetle. It seems that the situation is very serious. If it continues, it will definitely become A giant beetle.

This scene is really unacceptable. The moment Alice enters the room, she sees this long sleep, and her face is a little unsightly. Not everyone can like bugs, at least Alice has something to do with such black and bright bugs. Innate disgust.

Especially the shape of this face + carapace made Alice almost dare not enter the room.

"As you can see... my mother is like this now."

Elliot also knew that her mother's current appearance was indeed terrifying, so seeing Alice hesitated at the door for a moment, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but explained it to Alice earnestly.

Pointing to a bottle of grass with a faint glow on the bedside table, she said:

"The effect of the setting sun grass has become weaker and weaker. In the first few days, under the influence of the setting sun grass, the state of beetleization was still very slow, but as time passed, her body changed more and more. almost."

Saying that, Alotti sighed and handed over the book next to the bottle of Sunset Grass, her tone full of sadness:

"The situation you see now is almost completed within a day or two. A few days ago, my mother had hardly changed except for a little darkening on the surface of her skin... According to the previous magic researchers, she It may only last until the day after tomorrow.”

"The day after tomorrow..."

Alice took the book handed over by Elliot and glanced at it. The words "Sunset and Insect Eclipse" were written on the cover. Judging from this somewhat crude cover, it should be a replica.

This is also normal. The original text of the Forbidden Magic is generally not spread out at will, and most of the Forbidden Magic developers keep it themselves. It is good that Elliot can get a copy.

"Has your mother been in contact with anyone or has been to anyone before she was hit with this forbidden curse?"

Alice opened the book and glanced at the preface of the book, and determined that the principle of this forbidden spell is not too complicated than other forbidden spells, and she had a little understanding in her heart.

However, she was a little concerned about the person who imposed the curse on Elliot's mother, because she had just felt it carefully, and Elliott's mother did have the demon king's magic power, which was created through the power of the devil king. the power of.

However, Elliot does not have the power of the Demon King, that is to say, Elliot is not the target of the power of the Demon King, so this magic power should be the magic power of "Sunset and Insect Eclipse" - exerted on her mother. This person who forbids the curse may be the Demon King.

But although she thinks so, what Alice can be sure of is that the power of the demon king should not have found a new host, otherwise, whether it is Filia from the Elf Forest, or the white-haired loli god, you can feel it. Get it, and immediately contact yourself to tell her this important information.

Since no one has told her this information, it means that the power of the devil has not been possessed by anyone - and even if it is really white-haired Lori and Filia who did not notice the birth of the new devil, then the new devil is also It is unlikely that he will learn a forbidden spell in just a few days after becoming the Demon King.

It takes time to convert the power of the Demon King into one's own power, which is why it takes several years or even more than ten years after the birth of the hero and the Demon King before the war between humans and the Demon Race will fully break out.
