Chapter 142: The Witch's Will, Forbidden Memories

When Deya saw the prompt that suddenly appeared on his panel, his expression froze. He quickly gave up the idea of ​​teasing Mavis and cast several spells on himself.

In the school of protection, there are spells to protect against curses.

Although Deya focused his main energy on learning the spells of the School of Necromancer, he also studied some protective spells in depth.

As a pure necromancer, Deya believes that he is closer to a summoner at a low level, so he does not need to learn too many offensive spells. Protecting his own safety is his top priority.

However, after Deya used all the protective spells he knew, whether it was protection against curses or various energy spells, the prompt on his panel still did not disappear.

Deya suddenly became nervous.

But in that tension, he also had a glimmer of hope.

If this curse that appeared out of nowhere was meant to kill him, Deya was not afraid.

He has a contract with Patricia, who has the power to take away Deya's death.

If he only died once, at most he would feel the fear of death, but Deya would not really die.

'Even if this curse makes me disabled, I can accept it. This curse can be removed. Even if it can't be removed, I can still escape it by dying once.'

After having this thought, Deya felt a little relieved.

He began to wonder who was cursing him.

And the first candidate is undoubtedly Duke Frederick!
At this time, more than ten days had passed since Deya captured the city of Berwick.

He was always on guard against Duke Frederick's army attacking back.

But more than ten days passed and the Duke had no reaction at all, as if he didn't care about this city at all.

This is absolutely impossible.

Berwick is an important city in the duchy second only to the capital, and can be regarded as the economic center of the duchy.

Losing this city would be a huge blow to the Duke's prestige and power.

If he really ignored it, the Duke would have lost a large part of his economic source and he would no longer deserve to be called the Duke.

The fact that the Duke had not reacted for such a long time was already suspicious, and now that Deya saw the word of the curse, he probably understood the other party's plan.

"So you wanted to resolve the crisis by killing me directly. Judging from your choice, the Duke made the right decision.

The cost of fighting the Undead Army head-on is too high. Even if he wins, he will suffer heavy losses. It would be much easier to kill me, a necromancer with only four rings."

Deya tried to stay calm.

No matter what the curse is, we will fight back against it.

Just as the teacher said, a truly strong person's life must be full of ups and downs, and it is impossible for it to be smooth sailing forever.

……

In the capital of the Dukedom of Frederick, the kingdom's chief court wizard, Ivis, is performing a curse ceremony in the basement.

Mysterious candles, skulls of various monsters, rare metals, and strange demon leather scrolls are placed in a complex magic circle.

At the very center of the magic circle is the pure gold ring.

Elvis turned a blind eye to this forbidden object. Although he also wanted to obtain the forbidden object, his only target was the doll.

Only that mysterious puppet can allow him to crack the secrets of the construct, thereby sublimating his knowledge and becoming an eight-ring wizard.

In this way, he can obtain a longer lifespan and live longer.

Under Ives' spell, the mysterious candle burned with a fierce flame, evaporating a bowl of scarlet and smelly blood in the magic circle.

That is the blood of the blood curse.

Elvis obtained this bowl of blood concentrated with the ultimate curse in Abel Duval's laboratory.

He knew that Abel Duval must have used the power of the blood curse to unlock the mystery of the forbidden object.

But judging from the results, he should have failed.

Therefore, Elvis suspected that the puppeteer finally died from the blood curse.

He was also a little confused. How did Deya solve the mystery that even an eighth-ring wizard couldn't solve?

But this thought only passed by for a moment.

On the other hand, he should even thank Deya, because Elvis himself had studied the puzzle lock for decades but to no avail.

Now that Deya has solved the mystery and released the forbidden artifact, it will be enough for him, the mage, to deal with Deya. In Elvis' opinion, the difficulty has been reduced a lot.

Under the extreme curse of the blood curse, Elvis transformed the curse through rituals and spells.

The pure golden ring located at the center of the magic circle slowly disappeared under the effect of the spell.

All the magical objects in the basement lost their mystery at this moment.

The candles melted, the bones shattered, the words on the demonic scroll disappeared, and they all turned into useless waste.

Feeling a little tired, Elvis left the basement and went to the Duke's office.

Duke Frederick had been waiting anxiously.

He has not taken any action in the past ten days, and rumors have spread that he is timid, cowardly and incompetent.

Although these rumors seemed false to the Duke, they would also hurt the morale of his soldiers and his own prestige.

He was now waiting for the curse to take effect, kill Deja Cavendish, and then retake Berwick.

Frederick will use the power of having killed the Son of Dark Moon and the Undead King to completely wipe out the parliamentary factions, and then drive the invader Inglo out of the territory of Sussetani.

His Excellency the Duke has begun to have delusions.

"Sir Ivis, was the ceremony successful?"

The Duke leaned forward and asked with concern.

Ivis gave a tired smile: “Don’t worry, sir, the ceremony was successful.

You can start preparing to march now. Deya Cavendish will definitely die in this forbidden world memory."

The Duke was overjoyed and said, "Excuse me, Lord Ives, I see you are very tired now, I have prepared a room for you to rest.

When we retake Berwick, the forbidden treasure that Deya Cavendish stole from you will be returned to its original owner."

Ives humbly performed a wizard's salute and said with a smile, "Then I'll trouble you, Your Excellency the Duke. If you can help me get back the forbidden item, the Cressian Incantation will also serve you."

The Duke's heart was beating 'thump, thump, thump'.

During the time he spent with Elvis, he learned that Elvis was also the leader of a wizard organization.

Although that mage organization only had about twenty people, except for Elvis himself, there were no mages above the sixth ring.

But this is a wizard organization after all. If he can gain the loyalty of this group of wizards, then his strength as the Duke will be greatly increased.

even……

Frederick suddenly had the ambition to change the king.

Of course he didn't want to be king himself, that would be too troublesome and there would be too many obstacles.

But he could make his sister's son, his nephew, now the second prince, king.

Compared to the current King, his young nephew is much easier to control. …

[World Memory Opening——]

"..."

Deya is quietly waiting for the curse to take effect, wanting to see what the curse is and then find a way to lift it.

His eyes widened unconsciously when he saw what suddenly appeared on the panel.

What the hell? Am I cursed? Why am I in a world of forbidden wonders?

No, the forbidden object itself seems to be a curse!
But Deya reacted very quickly.

When he saw that the World Recollection had begun to count down, he took advantage of these few seconds to recall his heroic template undead creatures and some high-level undead creatures into the negative energy space.

If possible, Deya even wanted to bring his tens of thousands of low-level undead creatures with him.

But the time was too short after all, and he didn't have any extra time to prepare.

[Has entered the world memory (strange item)——]

The picture in front of Deya suddenly shattered, and he disappeared completely.

A few minutes later, hurried footsteps were heard downstairs.

Lamia, who was wearing a black dress, suddenly pushed open the door and shouted anxiously, "Deya!"

The room was empty.

The witch quickly calmed down: "Patricia suddenly disappeared, Mavis disappeared, and Deya was the same. Did they enter the world of remembrance?"

Lamia immediately analyzed that this phenomenon would only occur when entering the world's recollection.

This means that it is not the enemy that is coming.

Even a Nine Rings Master couldn't make the witch Mavis disappear without any reaction.

But if it is the world's remembrance, why is this?
Deya can indeed start the world recollection of promotion to the fifth ring.

But if it was promoted to remembrance, at most Deya would be missing. As Deya's "item", it is understandable that Patricia would follow Deya, but why did Mavis disappear as well?

"This is definitely not the World Memory of the Fifth Rings. If Deya wanted to be promoted, he would have told me in advance. Could it be a forbidden item?"

Thinking of this, Lamia became nervous.

Even if Deya was promoted to the sixth ring, she would not be so nervous. The promotion to the sixth ring is indeed difficult, but even if it fails, people will not die.

But forbidden items are different. If you die in the world's remembrance, you will also die!

And most importantly, why was it that only Mavis followed Deya into the World Remembrance, and what about me? Why did they leave me behind?!
Thinking of this, Lamia became irritated again.

Am I too weak?

So even this forbidden wonder world recollection despises me?
It looks like I have to start preparing to advance to the Sixth Ring of Memory.

Only after I am promoted to the sixth ring can I help Deya. The enemies he faces now are no longer something that a mere fifth-ring warlock like her can deal with.

While Lamia was thinking, Upton also noticed something was wrong. He ran up from downstairs, looked at the empty house, and asked nervously, "Ms. Lamia, where are Deya and Mavis?"

Lamia considered her words carefully and expressed her guess.

"A world recollection of a forbidden wonder?!"

Upton exclaimed, and became extremely nervous.

He looked at Lamia with an expressionless face and felt quite moved by her indifference.

The reason why the witch was calm was that she and Deya had experienced this level of world recollection once before, so she was not too worried because of the experience.

Secondly,

"Three days. We only have to wait for three days. If Deya and the others don't come back after three days..."

Lamia didn't say what came next. She didn't tell anyone about her ability except Deya, not even Upton.

Lamia is very familiar with world memories, except for the rare world memories on the day when the stars change, which are in a one-to-one ratio with real time.

Although the time proportions for other world memories vary, three days is the longest time.

If Deya and the others don't show up after three days, it means they failed and died in the World Memory.

Naramiya was going to go to the capital of Duke Frederick alone to fight them!
As long as she was killed by the other party, she would be able to go back seven days and tell Deya what would happen.

This will allow Deya to prepare in advance to deal with this world recollection, or find a way to prevent this world recollection from happening.

"What should we do next, Miss Lamia?"

Although Lamia was not as strong as himself, Upton did not dare to act on his own in the human world and was prepared to listen to the witch's opinion.

"If the world memory that Deya encountered is related to Duke Frederick, then he will definitely take action within these three days."

Lamia looked at the undead creatures patrolling the streets outside the window and said with a headache: "...Without Deya, we can't command these undead creatures.

They only act according to the instructions they were originally given, which is to patrol the streets.

If the enemy really attacks, these undead creatures will definitely not be able to defend this city, but we cannot give up here, we must protect this building!"

Low-level undead creatures without anyone to command, even if they number tens of thousands, will be easily destroyed by the human army.

The place where the world will return to remember will be the original location, which is actually a very dangerous thing.

Therefore, when normal people are promoted, they will find a safe place in advance.

For someone like Deya who suddenly entered the world of recollection, he had no preparation at all.

If you wait until the world recollection is over and as soon as you open your eyes you see a bunch of muscular men, you will really be stupid.

"We can't be too conspicuous. We'd better change a house and pretend to guard it. If the enemy really comes, we can still give them a false impression."

Lamia tried her best to stay calm, thinking about what Deya would do if he were here.

Upton thought Lamia's arrangement was fine and nodded in agreement.

"Deya, you must be okay. If something happens to you, what will I do alone..."

The witch, who has lost her parents and has always been alone, and has been abused for many years in the witch cult, has long been attached to Deya.

Beside him, she would feel safe, at ease, and fearless.

She doesn't want to go back to living alone.
