Chapter 3040: Backhand
On the northwest outskirts of Tivian, on a small hill between a jungle, a sharp cry of pain suddenly sounded.
After the transaction was completed, the members of the Order of the Dark Coffin sent the thief away. When their leader, Larina, was about to use the medium secretly obtained during the transaction to curse the ignorant thief, something unexpected happened to everyone.
Larina, who was using a medium to curse, suddenly let out a scream for some reason, and the cursed doll in her hand exploded. She covered her eyes and fell backwards, which scared the people around her. After a moment of shock, they hurried to help the fallen Larina.
"Madam! Ms. Larina! What's wrong with you!?"
Seeing Larina's condition, Kale, who was closest to her, immediately squatted down and helped her up, anxiously asking about Larina's condition. Larina tremblingly put down her hands that were covering her eyes. Two lines of blood and tears appeared in her wide-open eyes. The frightened Larina said this in a trembling voice.
"She tricked us... Judgment... Eye of Judgment... How could there be... Eye of Judgment!... That thief was protected by a powerful counter-curse... She was protected by... some kind of power from the First Dynasty... I was backfired... Ahhh..."
Covering her head, Larina suppressed her own pain and said this. Listening to Larina's words, Kale's face couldn't help but sink, and then he spoke with a hint of confusion.
"The First Dynasty? That's..."
"I can't explain the details to you! We underestimated that thief. There is a very likely a huge treasure-stealing gang behind her. Now... the plan against that guy is temporarily terminated! Arrange the goods and load them onto the truck. We need to report the situation to the order immediately!"
“Ah… yes, yes…”
After standing up, Larina immediately pushed away Kale beside her, and said sternly. After hearing this, Kale immediately ran to the side and organized other men to drive their carriages to the hill to load the goods.
Larina stood aside with her head covered. With a serious expression, she suppressed the mental pain while watching her subordinates busy preparing to load the goods. At this moment, the image of the opened giant golden eye was still lingering in her mind.
At this moment, in the sky above the hill, a bird was flying by, observing the situation below with sharp eyes. Through its eyes, Dorothy still had a firm grasp of the situation on the hill.
On a path several kilometers away from the hill, an ordinary black carriage was parked here. At this time, Dorothy was wearing a thick winter shirt and cotton skirt, a woolen hat, sitting in the carriage of her carriage. She used the corpse puppets moving in the distance to conduct continuous long-distance detection of the hill that served as the transaction location, and peeked at the situation there.
"I didn't expect that the scepter of the Neveu family can not only prevent curses, but also backfire on the caster. The leader was backfired like this..."
Looking at the scene in the distance, Dorothy touched her chin and murmured thoughtfully that the scene of Larina being backlashed just now was actually beyond her expectations.
When Dorothy was choosing someone to trade on her behalf, she considered for a long time and decided to ask her senior schoolmate Nefernis for help. The reason was simply that she had her eyes on the scepter in Nefernis's house that could defend against curses.
Based on the intelligence she had obtained before, Dorothy judged that when dealing with this group of members of the Order of the Underworld who hunted for spirits in the wild, the two things she needed to pay attention to were ghosts and curses. Invisible ghosts could possess and stalk others inadvertently, and curses could affect others from a great distance without them noticing. Both of these were rather strange abilities that were difficult to defend against head-on, and Nephrness happened to be able to deal with both.
First of all, Nefernis is a "Silent" Extraordinary, who can see and sense ghosts. Ghosts are not invisible things that are difficult to guard against for her, and it is very difficult to possess and track her with ghosts. Secondly, because of her family, Nefernis has the Extraordinary Cultural Relics Protection of the ancient civilization of Northern Ufia, and is resistant to curses.
The scepter in Neveu's house only needs a small amount of "Enlightenment" to maintain it, and it can resist the curse of powerful ancient undead spirits.
The ancient undead that cursed the entire Boyle clan, its curse could travel across the ocean, from North Ufir across thousands of kilometers to affect Pritt, and it could also affect the entire bloodline from one person, lasting for dozens of days without interruption. Such powerful curse power could not be resisted by ordinary Extraordinary People. Even with this level of powerful curse power, it would still be defended by the scepter, let alone ordinary mortal Extraordinary People.
In this way, in Dorothy's eyes, Neveu has both spirit defense and curse defense. For her, no one is more suitable than Neveu to come here to deal with the Order of the Underworld. Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. The people of the Underworld planned to use curses against Neveu, but were directly backfired by the scepter.
"Normally, when a Beyonder curses a target protected by the scepter, it would not backfire like that, but that undead spirit tirelessly continued to curse for dozens of hours without stopping. It must be extremely powerful.
"And the Neveu family's scepter... It can not only defend against curses, but also counterattack the caster of the curse. This thing is more advanced than I expected. It is worthy of being an extraordinary artifact of the ancient civilization of Northern Wufei. How did Neveu's grandfather dig up such a good thing..."
Dorothy said this with emotion, and at the same time, the impression of Neveu's grandfather was raised to a higher level in her heart. To be able to obtain such a powerful extraordinary cultural relic and to provoke such a powerful ancient undead, it was impossible for an ordinary extraordinary person to do it. He was truly a legendary tomb robber.
"Neveu has left the danger zone now, right? This time, it's all thanks to her. Let's ask her how she's doing."
With this in mind, Dorothy began to extend her spiritual thread, preparing to communicate with Neveu.
…
At this moment, on the other side of the woods, on another path, there were three carriages moving forward in a row. The last two of the three carriages were empty trucks after unloading the goods, and the one in the front was an ordinary carriage for carrying passengers. At this time, Nephnis was sitting in that carriage.
"call……"
In the carriage, Nephnis, who was wearing a black robe, pulled down her hood, letting her long hair spread out. After taking off the mask on her face, she sat down on the seat in the carriage with her face exposed, and then she let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's finally over. Fortunately, everything went smoothly... There were no accidents..."
Nephnis breathed slowly and relaxed to relieve her tension. At this moment, the countless terrifying skeletons and ghosts on the hills still appeared in her mind. When she thought of those people who controlled ghosts, she still felt a little scared in her heart.
"Are those people just now... the members of the Order of the Coffin? They can control so many ghosts... and so many skeletons. The atmosphere is really scary. According to Miss Dorothy, they seem to be the largest extraordinary group of 'Silence'... The leader may even have the strength of the enemy. I... I, an apprentice, have such a direct negotiation with her, and even directly threatened the boss... This is incredible..."
