Chapter 104 101. Curse
In a small warehouse near the dock in Clark, there is a sewer that is not on the city's map.
A rat man crawled out from inside, looked at the two gang members who were guarding, and climbed up only after confirming that it was safe.
Then more than ten people crawled out one after another. They were all people who had entered the sewer the day before, including Dylan and Chloro.
It rained heavily for two days, so everyone stayed one more day.
After everyone came out, the rat man first collected everyone's iron plate, and then drove them all out of the warehouse.
Apparently, the 10-silver-coin service ends here.
"Brother Dylan, thank you for what you did before." Chloro said sincerely.
At the vineyard, if Dylan hadn't joined, I would most likely have been the one who died.
"No way, I'm the one who has been taken care of along the way."
In just a few words, both of them knew it was time to say goodbye.
"Well, Brother Dylan, I wish you good luck!"
"Brother Chloro, see you later."
The two held hands and were almost hugging each other.
Lin Jun almost changed the channel after watching it.
Looking at Chloro's leaving back, Dylan felt complicated.
Logically, he had a grudge against the demons, and he still remembered clearly that his daughter had been poisoned by blood.
However, Chrollo was truly doing good for him along the way, even if this kindness was based on the fact that he mistakenly believed that he was also a demon.
I just hope that the two of them won’t stand on opposite sides one day.
But on second thought, if his boss suddenly wanted to form an alliance with the demons one day, he and Chrollo might suddenly become real friends...
But I don't want to be hostile to humans...
"What are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and catch up!"
The boss's voice suddenly reminded Dylan that he had a new mission.
He glanced around and saw the man in black robe almost disappearing around the corner, so he quickly followed him.
Lin Jun asked Dylan to follow and observe first, and then consider whether to understand this abyss magic through trading or other methods.
It's no wonder that Lin Jun cares so much. Although he hasn't learned how to cast spells yet, he already has all the other magic skills. He's just never seen this one before. It's like a rare card. He's itching to learn more about it.
Taking a step back, it is also necessary to understand more about the power system of this world.
But Lin Jun still wanted to keep it simple.
Chrollo’s assessment of Dylan’s spy skills was correct: rookie!
He had not been following for long when the man in black in front seemed to have noticed him. He quickened his pace and went into the alley.
Seeing this, Dylan quickened his pace and followed.
In the alley, two people, one in front and one behind, started chasing each other openly.
Lin Jun was speechless. He was already exposed. What could he do if he caught up with him?
This is the city after all.
Think about it, Dylan is not a professional, so it would be difficult for him to communicate with others.
"Forget it, it's already like this..."
Before Lin Jun finished speaking, a black light suddenly appeared in the hands of the black-robed man in front of him, and suddenly a ball of twisted magical energy gathered.
Dylan's legs suddenly went weak as he took a step forward, and he managed to avoid falling by supporting himself against the wall with his hands.
oh?
Lin Jun suddenly became interested.
I quickly opened Dylan's panel and saw something different in the status bar.
[Weakness Curse: Attributes decreased by 20% (104)]
curse!
It only lasted 2 minutes, which was not long.
This was the first time that Lin Jun encountered a negative effect classified as a curse.
Just knowing this, at least this trip was not in vain.
Poor Dylan, he was already suffering from the -20% attribute of [Aging], and now he was also weakened.
Now he ran as if he had kidney deficiency, his steps were weak and he was unsteady, and he was thrown off by the man in black in two seconds.
Not only that, this weak appearance also attracted some scum living in the shadows.
While Dylan was holding onto the wall to catch his breath, he was blocked from the front and back by five thugs holding sticks and knives.
A foot stretched out from the corner, causing Dylan to stumble. The luggage bag fell to the ground, and the things inside were scattered all over the floor.
These guys, who are at most bronze level or even not even bronze level, generally don't dare to target adventurers.
But if this adventurer looks like he will fall to the ground and faint at any second, that’s another story.
[Weakness Curse: Attributes decreased by 20% (4)]
After 4 seconds, the curse disappeared, and Dylan only felt that the sudden feeling of weakness disappeared as suddenly as it came!
Taking another deep breath, strength returned to Dylan's body.
The people around him obviously didn't notice Dylan's change. A thug came up with an iron rod and threatened:
"Old man, leave your sword and backpack behind, we..."
It's the old guy again!
Dylan's hand was already on the sword at his waist. If the guy in front of him took another step forward, he would cut his throat on the spot.
"What are you doing?"
At the end of the alley, in the backlight, silver-gray armor reflected the fragmented light, and the crisp sound of iron boots stepping on the blue bricks made the air suddenly tense, and a figure in knight armor strode towards the few people.
"knight?"
“Run!”
The thugs didn't even dare to mess with the guards, let alone the knights.
Only Dylan was left there.
Dylan originally wanted to run, but then he thought it would be too suspicious if he ran, so he stopped in his tracks.
He also couldn't understand why a knight would care about such a matter. It was normal for him to not bother to take care of such a small matter.
And when he got closer, Dylan realized that the person in front of him was actually a female knight.
She was wearing armor but no helmet. She had short chestnut hair and an old scar between her brows. From a distance, it was hard to tell her gender.
It wasn't just Dylan who couldn't see clearly, the knight opposite him, Liadrin, was the same.
She originally thought that it was just an ordinary person being harassed by gangsters, so she came to help. However, when she got closer, she found that it was a guy dressed as an adventurer.
She didn't like adventurers, but since they were all here, she still asked:
"Are you okay?"
Dylan felt a little relieved by the official attitude. He was afraid that the knight had discovered something unusual and came here.
Dylan expertly acted like an ordinary adventurer would when seeing a knight.
"Thank you for your protection, I am fine!"
"Well, that's fine."
Liadrin looked past Dylan and glanced at the things that fell out of the luggage bag, her eyes lingering on a familiar-looking pendant.
After thinking for a while without any clue, she decided not to stay any longer. She really didn't want to say anything more to these adventurers. Most of the security problems in the city were caused by these guys.
Looking at the female knight's leaving back, Dylan also breathed a sigh of relief.
Dylan could easily deal with those thugs by himself, but the appearance of the female knight disrupted his rhythm.
I didn't feel like I was being helped at all, it was more like I was being suddenly questioned.
Fortunately, there was no harm.
After packing up, Dylan identified the direction and headed towards the pier - he wanted to find out when the boat to the archipelago would be.
…
That night, at the home of Knight Liadrin.
Bang!
He banged his fist on the table.
“Isn’t that Wilfred’s power pendant!?”
