Unlike the sub-dragons that still survive in large numbers on the continent of Nadus, red dragons are a legitimate species of dragon and often appeared on the continent during the chaotic times.
But since the continent gradually became stable, the dragons migrated and no dragons appeared in the Nadus continent for a long time.
Eryi took the half-elf Lilith and the human Gallop into a separate medical room.
"I can try." Eryi considered Gallup's condition and believed that with her current curse-dispelling skill level, she might not be able to completely cure the human's condition.
"Okay." The half-elf removed the cloth from the human's eyes.
Under the cloth, where the eyes should be, was covered in thorns. Horrible purple-blue vines clung to the skin, moving as if alive.
…
Piccolo quietly came out of the room. Fluffy was lying in front of the door, playing with the void element crystal out of boredom. Next to him was an apple that Piccolo liked.
When it saw Piccolo coming out of the house, it pushed the apple in Piccolo's direction with its paw.
"Hey, thank you." Piccolo held an apple that was half the size of his body, leaned against Fluffy, and took a bite. "Piccolo feels so hard."
"Picker hasn't been back for who knows how many years. A few days ago, he sensed the presence of a relative approaching, and it seems that she or he is now in this building."
"How can Piccolo face people like this..." Piccolo turned around and buried his head in the fluffy hair, trying to hide himself.
Fluffy stood up and used his front paws to push Piccolo around in a circle. He grabbed Piccolo in his mouth, threw him on his back, stomped his hind legs on the ground, and strode to the door of the medical room.
…
"This is an old injury... His eyes were gouged out completely."
"Fifty years ago, I contacted the previous Pope of the God of Light. According to his ability, he should have been able to restore the lost eyes, but due to the curse of the abyss... As you can see, the regenerated part has become like this." Half-elf Lilith was explaining the cause of the wound, hoping that providing complete information would facilitate a smoother treatment.
"Originally, this was a curse that covered his entire body, but the Light Fairy narrowed the range of the curse to just his eyes." For this, Lilith paid half her lifespan.
"My inability to speak was a minor incident five years ago and has nothing to do with the abyss."
Compared to Lilith's enthusiasm, Gallup seemed completely indifferent. While Lilith was communicating with Eryi, he sensed a creature approaching and subconsciously turned his head to look at the door.
"Did you see that, Fluffy?" Piccolo quietly peeked into the medical room through the crack in the door. "That half-elf seems to be Piccolo's half-sister. That aura...it seems like even after all these years, my mother still hasn't gotten over her love for human adventurers."
"She wasn't born before Piccolo left. She's so young, maybe she's a half-elf who was born many, many years after Piccolo left..."
Mao Rongrong hummed softly as a sign of agreement.
"Is this the human she chose as her mate? Too bad she can't even protect herself... Why are they so bad at choosing a mate?"
"He even 'looked' over here, as if he could really see." After saying that, Piccolo quietly closed the door again.
Fluffy pushed him.
"I won't." Piccolo sighed and prepared to lock himself up again. "With the Red Dragon Crystal, Eryi will heal them. As for Piccolo... Piccolo's contract hasn't expired yet. I'm already very satisfied to have been to so many different places and come back alive."
…
Based on Lilith's description, Eryi judged that Gallup's condition was special, and unless the curse was completely dispelled, the rebirth spell could not be fully effective.
She decided to try the effect of the intermediate curse dispelling on Gallup first.
After the spell to dispel the curse was finished, a purple-black mist rose from Gallup's body. As the mist rose, the thorns on his eyes gradually faded.
The prophecies under the Tree of Life have never been wrong.
Lilith observed the changes in Gallup's body with her breath. She didn't know the specific content of the prophecy, but the light elf would not deceive her. She was convinced that she could get the result she wanted this time.
The mist rose from Gallup's body but refused to dissipate. After half a minute, the mist struggled to cling to his eyes again, finally forming a faint abyss symbol. - Deprivation of life.
This was supposed to be an instant death spell.
After treatment, the condition changes.
Gallup Arnold [Level 6 Human]↑Restore
HP 87%/87% Fatigue 37/100
[Blindness] [Curse] [Mutilation: Lose both eyes, HP limit reduced by 13%] [Intermediate Curse Dispelling: Weakens the effect of unknown curses to 85%, effect lasts for 240 hours.]
The [Mute Curse] status had been lifted. Before another unknown curse was completely removed, Eryi didn't dare to rashly use the Rebirth spell on Gallup.
Seeing Eryi stop casting, the half-elf Lilith tapped Gallup's arm lightly, and a ripple swirled around Gallup's body. She roughly understood Gallup's condition.
"You can speak now." Eryi said to Gallup.
"Pay me 1 gold coin." This is the price of a single use of the intermediate curse dispel.
Lilith was silent for a while, she probably understood what Eryi meant.
"Can't the eyes be cured?"
Eryi didn't answer directly: "Come again in two days."
Eryi opened the dashboard displaying the energy value in the mall. The number on it had reached a staggering 3.7 million. Of this, 2 million was the deposit and security deposit for the Doomsday Plane, but that was unimportant.
In addition, Eryi had 580 gold coins in cash and a deposit of 1,300 magic coins. The magic acquisition business provided her with a good profit.
Similarly, the rental business of various energy storage devices in the magical plane also brought unexpected profits. Mages often refused to return the energy storage devices they rented, sending birds to deliver renewal fees every few days. In just one month, she earned 200 gold coins, which, if used to purchase magic cores, could be exchanged for 120,000 energy points.
The donations from believers had already reached over 400 gold coins, mainly provided by wealthy merchants and nobles. However, Eryi did not intend to use this money for the time being.
Previously, the promotion of faith and the printing of scriptures had always cost Bernice money, but in fact, this money should have been spent by the church.
Considering that the number of believers needs to reach 10,000 before the healing station system can be upgraded, it is likely that branch churches will need to be established in other cities. The costs of purchasing suitable land, construction, and hiring priests will be directly allocated from this fund.
Close the mall and open the contract panel.
Eryi scrolled down until Piccolo's Pokémon profile page appeared before her. She'd been so busy lately that she'd overlooked some things.
The Contract section is responsible for various Pokémons. If there are no new skills, she won't check them at all, which leads to her not noticing Piccolo's abnormality.
The status of [Curse] has become increasingly clear.
[Curse: Unknown curse, cannot be completely removed with your current ability.]
"Zero Zero Eight, is this curse always there?"
【Replying to the host, yes.】
"What's going on with Piccolo? Why is he in the mall?"
[He was a contracted spirit who voluntarily exchanged with the system. We did not force him.]
"you?"
[……] Ling Ling Ba refused to give any other response.
"What is the content of your exchange?"
[No comment. Zero-Eight can only guarantee that Piccolo is completely harmless to his host. He has completed many missions and received excellent reviews.]
As early as when Piccolo proposed to go to the magic plane, Eryi had already vaguely sensed that Piccolo had some connection with this plane.
But the only healing technique Piccolo knew was the Spring Breeze Technique, which was clearly not related to this plane. In fact, she should have discovered his connection with this plane from Piccolo's various actions.
The most important point is that he knows the common language of this plane, the magic language, and even the language used by priests to communicate with gods.
She thought she should talk to Piccolo.
…
Piccolo was in the room where the elves were staying, injecting skills into the ATM while trying to command the elves to arrange themselves into the shape he wanted.
"Can we talk?" Eryi knocked on the door twice, indicating that he was ready to come in.
"Okay." Piccolo stopped directing. "Eryi is the most polite of all Piccolo's contractors."
Piccolo clapped his hands, found a suitable place to sit down, and calmly explained: "Piccolo didn't mean to hide it, but the fact that Piccolo was cursed does not affect our contract, so it is not written in the contract. It is protected..."
"It is written in our contract that if the contract is terminated unilaterally, the energy value paid will not be returned." Piccolo reminded.
For Piccolo, if Eryi unilaterally terminated the contract, he would receive all the energy points signed at the time of the contract as commission, which would not be a disadvantage. However, he did not want the contract to be terminated. After all, if it was terminated, he would be deported and would no longer be able to stay in this plane.
Eryi handed Piccolo a small piece of peeled apple and said, "That's not what I meant to say."
"Thank you." Piccolo took the apple. He had just eaten a big one not long ago and was a little full now.
"I just learned that you might be a native elf of this plane." Eryi stared at Piccolo. She couldn't read any of his emotions from him. "You must have left this plane for some other reason. Can you tell me what the reason is and what the contract with you is?"
Piccolo thought for a moment: "The reason for the contract involves Piccolo's privacy, but there's nothing to hide..."
Elves are not afraid of death. After death, they will turn into elements and dissipate in the world. At the same time, new life will be born under the Tree of Life. However, the cursed elves are different. Elves cursed by the abyss will become nutrients for the abyss.
"… Piccolo lost his ability to connect to the light element. Just as he thought he was about to fall into the abyss, he heard a voice. It asked if he wanted to trade some freedom for his continued survival."
"Then Piccolo arrived at a blank area. There was a machine inside that taught Piccolo the Spring Breeze Technique. Piccolo could only learn this because the writing there was too difficult to understand."
"... Piccolo starts doing missions to earn energy. The energy of contracted spirits can only be earned from you humans who have systems..."
Piccolo didn't say what role the energy value played for him; he deliberately avoided the topic.
Eryi could tell from the information Piccolo had revealed that his authority was significantly lower than hers. Piccolo might not even know more about some of the things she knew, but he had come into contact with more taskers or system owners than she had.
These systems are common to some extent.
After sorting out the situation, Eryi opened the skill synthesis panel.
