The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 57: The bone and blood trigger of the Skeleton Man
"...That's basically it."
Jiuer finally finished describing the accident that happened in Fort Ross.
This incident quickly became a big issue on the forum. The players also realized the importance of this issue and immediately sent Jiu'er to inform Annan.
After all, the players who stayed in Frozen Water Port, namely Jiu'er and Annan, are relatively close.
Fortunately, neither Annan nor Salvatore care much about the fact that players have some kind of remote communication method, and they both trust the news brought by Jiuer. Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort for the players to just explain the existence of the forum and convince these two NPCs.
"Can you control people's hearts?"
Annan frowned slightly.
He held his chin with his left hand, and tapped the five slender white fingers of his right hand on the table unconsciously.
Annan still felt a little troubled by this sudden enemy.
If Dr. Gerald really has the ability to do whatever he wants and manipulate people's hearts...especially if this ability can be used on multiple people, then Annan can conclude that an enemy of this level is not him at all. What can be dealt with.
So Annan turned to Salvatore and asked:
"——Senior, what do you think?"
Unexpectedly, Salvatore didn't seem very nervous.
Or——
A strong emotion overflowed from him, completely overwhelming the tension.
Angry? Hatred? enthusiasm?
Not very clear.
But only one thing is certain.
In Salvatore's eyes, a fire of unknown meaning has indeed ignited.
He just pursed his lips and pondered for a while, then asked Jiu'er in a low voice: "Are you sure that your two companions are bound by these three curses?
"It's one of them, the other one is not cursed."
Jiuer corrected.
"Yes...I mean, it's really these three, right?"
Jiuer nodded affirmatively.
After all, she took the screenshot directly from the forum, so there was no way she could make a mistake.
"Are you an acquaintance?"
Annan asked Salvatore.
He has realized something.
Salvatore is very familiar with this man...or, in other words, very familiar with his hammer.
As expected.
The haggard young wizard nodded and responded in a low voice:
"So be it..."
He then asked Jiu'er: "Miss Jiu'er, did your companion mention the occupation of that pagan? Is he... a dentist?"
"...Yes."
Jiuer looked at him in surprise.
She initially thought this was relatively unimportant information, so she did not raise it immediately. To prevent it from becoming a distraction and disrupting their thoughts.
But she reacted now.
There seems to be something hidden in this message... Fortunately, Salvatore himself guessed it keenly.
She realized that both of them were indeed smarter than herself. So I gave up all the messy thoughts and told more seemingly meaningless information:
"Also, after the two of them were brainwashed, they were shaken awake by their companion after walking out of a street. He asked some confusing questions and woke up one by one. And the other person He was beaten awake."
"It's a good thing to be woken up..."
Salvatore breathed a sigh of relief, and his solemn tone relaxed slightly.
When he said this, his words stopped abruptly. He looked at Jiu'er and then looked at Annan.
"You can say, Senior Salvatore."
Annan nodded: "Jiu'er is trustworthy."
As he spoke, Annan looked at Jiu'er seriously: "What we are going to talk about next is very important, and you'd better write it down carefully."
——Although I haven't enabled the live broadcast function of the forum yet, please remember to open a post and write it down.
Annan hinted so.
Jiu'er also nodded seriously and solemnly.
Annan was not disappointed. She opened the forum and began to prepare to take notes and record important mission information——
"You ask me if this person is an acquaintance of mine... I will answer you yes. Because I know him, but he may not know me."
Salvatore replied: "In terms of seniority, he should be regarded as our senior...and our teacher.
"He is David Gerald, a dark wizard born in the Black Tower of the Zeland. He graduated from the Soul-stealing School and briefly taught students for three years before I entered the school. Later...he betrayed the Zeland. The Black Tower stole an important charm. It's this hammer."
At this point, Salvatore's expression became slightly serious: "It looks like a palm-sized hammer, and its full name is [So-and-so's Bone and Blood Trigger]. And its full name, in Frozen Water I can't say it...so I'll call it [Bone and Blood Trigger] for short. I hope that by saying this, you can roughly realize what I didn't say.
"...is it the one we just talked about?"
"Yes."
Salvatore replied affirmatively.
Annan's heart trembled.
There is only one answer.
Skeleton Lord!
A curse that can be named after God——
"What exactly is its ability?"
Annan couldn't help but ask.
Not only was he cautious, he was also a little curious about it.
Salvatore glanced at the wine, hesitated for a moment and then replied frankly: "Forget it, it's not a secret now...it is wrapped with six kinds of curses.
"They are [Heart Paralysis], [No More Words], [Forgotten Secret Words], [I'm Not Here], [Claustrophobia], and [Page Lock]. You already know the effects of the first three … Let me tell you about the content of the next three types of curses.
"The effect of [I'm Not Here] is equivalent to the spell of the same name from the Idol School - when others don't know the true face of the bound person or his secrets, the bound person is to them Invisible...just like the 'gods' in mythology, invisible, invisible, and invisible. Until the other party shows a miracle.
"The effect of [Claustrophobia] is equivalent to the spell of the same name from the incapacitation school. When the bound person is in a confined space within a certain area defined by him, it will cause the bound person to suddenly experience extreme Strong feelings of fear and anxiety. After three minutes and three seconds, there will be hallucinations and auditory hallucinations defined by it in advance; three minutes after the hallucinations appear, the bound person will begin to have a strong urge to kill, and the body will be strengthened to a mutant level; if it exceeds Thirty-three minutes later, the bound man died on the spot.
"The effect of [Book Page Lock] is equivalent to the spell of the same name from the Order School. It can cause all books, newspapers and other 'knowledge carriers' within a certain range of the bound person to riot and alienate, turn the text into entities, and transform the bound person into entities. The person is completely immobilized - the more secret the knowledge, the more difficult it is to break free of the chains; if broken, the pages will be destroyed. The maximum immobilization time depends on the amount of text in all chains and the reading speed of the bound person. Generally speaking It is said that it is 'one-tenth of the time it takes to read these books.' After the effect ends normally, the bound person is equivalent to having read the contents of all the books that bound him."
After speaking, Salvatore looked at Annan: "Do you think this is a very powerful spell?"
"Yes."
Annan sighed: "They are all very practical curses!"
"Then I want to tell you...the reason why it is called a 'trigger'. ~IndoMTL.com~ is because it can 'shoot out' the curse within it."
Salvatore replied: "Using a person's bones and blood as bullets, three different spells can be driven into a person's body for 24 hours. They can be used once a day; or any number of them can be used. The curse is inserted into another cursed object for a month, and those who come into contact with the cursed object will be entangled by the curse - and the second method of use will temporarily make the curse disappear from the trigger before the curse returns.
"Bones and blood need to be filled in from the back of the hammer like bullets. The amount required is very small... The only requirement is that it must be used once a week. And the sacrifice used each time must be from The 'bones and blood' of different people. Whether repeated sacrifices are used or not used, three kinds of curses will be randomly inserted into his own body for twenty-four hours..."
Salvatore was still talking, but Annan's thoughts were already drifting away.
He suddenly remembered something.
In his first nightmare when he came to this world... Annan saw a mirror——
【Tongueless Mirror】
[Type: Material/Miscellaneous (Blue)]
[Description: The destroyed spell has lost its original function]
[Effect: The holder will be cursed "No more words"]
Now Annan already knows that the so-called cursed objects...are objects wrapped with curses.
If the "destroyed curse" has lost its original function...
So, why has the effect of the "no words" curse been lost?
Still...
"No words" is not an attribute of the mirror itself, but something attached to it?
