Chapter 2673 Ceremony (Sticking with a Girl Is More Important than Finding a Brother)

"A corpse baby... what is it?"

Although they didn't know what kind of monster Ciri was talking about, the two girls still felt a little strange from this word.

"It is a monster born of abandoned, unburied babies. They will leave their nests in the dark and lurk beside the pregnant woman's bedside to suck her and the life force of the child, and then when the pregnant woman is too weak to resist, it will suck her. blood until both mother and child die."

"...There should be, there should be some solution to this."

Halfway through the hearing, Liz had already clasped her hands and prayed, but she didn't know what to do. On the continent of Samulia, ghosts and the like only rarely appear, and most of them are not real. Liz, as a slave knight of the Star Cup Knights, can be said to have rich combat experience, but her enemies are generally not those who do evil, or monsters that ravage and invade the residents.

Liz really has no way to deal with this cursed monster—maybe a holy attribute spell will work on it?

"There is a way to lift the curse."

Fortunately, although Ciri is only a novice demon hunter, she has also received a lot of training as a demon hunter, including familiarizing herself with the records of all the monsters on this continent. Although Shirley also complained that it was a painful practice, he had to admit that the cramming education was really effective at certain times.

"According to ancient legends, as long as the corpse baby is buried under the eaves and threshold of the house, it will be transformed into a house spirit protecting the house, and will have the power to protect the family."

"What is the principle...?"

After hearing Shirley's description, Liz was at a loss. She really didn't understand why the curse could be lifted just by burying the corpse baby under the threshold of the house. According to Liz's understanding, when dealing with things like curses or ancient relics, don't you need a lot of rituals or magic circles?

"Uh... I don't know either, the legend says so."

However, in the face of Liz's inquiry, Ciri also had nothing to say. She just learned the corpse baby and the method to lift the curse of the corpse baby. As for why it can be lifted by doing this... only God knows.

"In short, we have only two ways to deal with the corpse baby, either kill it, or turn it into a house elf to relieve its curse and pain. Moreover, if we can successfully transform into a house elf, then we say It might be possible to find the madam through its blood connection with the mother."

"Okay, it's decided."

Hearing this, the bloody baron also made up his mind.

"Then let's do this, remove the child's curse, it can be regarded as... a small compensation from me."

"Then let's start as soon as possible."

Glancing at the dusk outside, Ciri stood up.

"Lord Baron, I hope you can issue an order to keep everyone behind closed doors, and sprinkle a thin line of salt on the door."

"Okay, no problem, let's go now."

Hearing this, the bloody baron also slapped his thigh and stood up abruptly. However, at this moment, Ciri, who was about to go out, suddenly thought of something, and turned around to look at the baron.

"Oh, by the way, Lord Baron, do you want a Gwent card?"

"........."

What are you talking about?

Looking at the scene in front of them, Fangzheng, Lisi and Miaojie were all in a daze. Didn't you just say that time is running out, big sister? What cards are you playing? And the baron is sad about this, is it appropriate for you to say this now?

However, what the three of them didn't expect was that the Bloody Baron's eyes lit up when he faced Ciri's question and his face was covered with dark clouds just now.

"Of course, I am a well-known Gwent card master in Waylon, come here, if you defeat me, I will give you a special card!"

"That `s a deal!"

“…………………………”

Watching the two happily sit back at the table, and then took out two cards from their arms to start the battle, Fang Zheng, Liz and Miao Jie were completely dumbfounded.

"...Mr. Fangzheng, what should we do now?"

Miao Jie blinked her eyes, and asked in surprise, even though this noble lady is extremely smart, she didn't know how to react to the situation in front of her. Obviously, he said just now that the situation was urgent and he had to leave immediately, but now the two of them started playing cards in front of themselves and others...... Didn't they say they were in a hurry?

"What else can I do, just wait."

Fangzheng spread his hands helplessly. Right now, the two masters are not in a hurry. What can they do?

So in desperation, he had no choice but to watch Ciri and the bloody baron play cards with the two girls.

After looking at it, Fangzheng also gradually understood the rules of this card. To put it bluntly, it is through the point ratio, simple and straightforward, each person draws ten cards from the deck, and then uses these cards to increase their own points. Whoever has the most points will win. Winning, two wins in three games, can be regarded as a game that tests the brain.

But fortunately, this is not playing mahjong after all, so it would not be going to Nanfeng Field. After more than ten minutes, Ciri won, and the bloody baron also gave her a card, and the atmosphere of the two changed after the game. After a lot of harmony, I acted again and went out.

Soon, the sky became dark.

Under the order of the Bloody Baron, everyone in the Crow's Nest closed their doors tightly. Although they didn't know what happened, but the Bloody Baron is the local emperor here, and he ordered everyone else to obey orders obediently.

But today's night is not very good. With the howling wind, the sky is covered with dark clouds, and it looks drowsy. The Bloody Baron brought the four of them to an old house not far away. According to him, he was also afraid of being discovered, so he ran out in a hurry, and then dug a hole here to give the baby to him. buried.

"Look, it's right there..."

As he spoke, the bloody baron stretched out his finger to point not far away, and then froze all of a sudden.

On the ground, there was only one big pit that had been dug, and there was no corpse in it! !

"Here, what's going on here?"

Seeing this scene, the bloody baron was stunned, not knowing what to say. Could it be that someone followed him and secretly dug out the baby again?

And just when he was in doubt, Fangzheng glanced around and then withdrew his gaze.

"Oh, here we come."

"Hey?"

Hearing Fang Zheng's words, everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they saw a black figure crawling out from the ruined walls not far away, and appeared in front of them.

"hiss……………"

After seeing clearly the true face of the black shadow in front of her, Liz took a deep breath and stepped back. And Miaojie hurriedly hid behind Fangzheng. Although she tried her best to keep calm, Fangzheng could feel the slight trembling of her arm holding his sleeve. It can be said that this girl always has an elegant smile on weekdays The aristocratic young lady is really scared right now.

But this is also normal, because normal people may not remain calm when they see things in front of them.

What appeared in front of everyone was a blood-stained baby. It looked like it was just born, but its body was swollen in a big circle, about the size of a medium-sized dog. Not only that, this baby Opening his mouth, he could still see the thin tongue protruding from it, shaking uncontrollably.

"Fang, Mr. Fangzheng, we want, what should we do?"

At this moment, Liz also asked tremblingly in a low voice, if it wasn't for You Fang who was standing beside her, the nun might have just thrown a bunch of holy magic directly at her. Even though she encountered countless zombies and mutated monsters in the world of Resident Evil, the scene in front of her still made her sick to the stomach, because it was a monster transformed by a baby! !

"How do I know, just ask Ciri."

Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ciri, who also looked at the scene in front of her in a daze, but after hearing Fangzheng's voice, she also reacted immediately and turned to the bloody baron.

"Quick, go and pick it up."

"I, I'll hug it? Don't you want to make it angry?"

Hearing Ciri's words, the bloody baron was taken aback.

"It's not angry yet, but it will become angry if you continue to dawdle, hurry up."

"Ah, oh..."

Facing Ciri's urging, the bloody baron nodded.

"By the way, what would happen if it got angry halfway?"

"It's going to tear your neck out and suck your blood out...I'm not sure I'll be able to stop it in time."

"Uh……………"

Hearing this, the bloody baron's face turned pale immediately, but he stared at the corpse baby in front of him, hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, stretched out his hand like hugging a real child, and lifted it up.

Seeing this scene, the expressions of Liz and Miao Jie softened a little. You must know that after they learned that the baron had raped his wife, they didn't have a good look at this man. After all, in their opinion, it is too much for a man to beat his wife madly with alcohol. Although the other party is at fault first, you can't torture people like this.

But now seeing that the Bloody Baron knew that he might be killed by the corpse baby, but he still gritted his teeth and picked it up. From this point of view, he is not really bad.

Afterwards, a group of people surrounded the baron and walked back, and the baron kept holding the corpse baby up high all the way. Although the other party struggled occasionally, he really didn't let go at all—of course, there was also Fang Zheng. To his credit, although he didn't make a move, he also paid a little attention to the corpse baby. Whenever the corpse baby was about to go berserk, Fang Zheng would calm it down again.

But there is no need to say more, after all, as Fangzheng said before, besides helping Xili solve problems, he came out this time to let his students practice more. The so-called reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles Let Miao Jie and Liz experience it for themselves, and they can also gain some experience and ideas.

Anyway, after going back, I have to hand in three thousand words of experience.

It didn't take long for everyone to return to the gate of the castle again. At this moment, the bloody baron was also holding the corpse baby in his arms, looking at it with complicated expressions. The corpse baby still looked like an ET. On its big head, the mouth full of sharp teeth could not stop screaming strangely, and the pair of big eyes looked like aliens. But at the moment the baron was holding it, and he didn't know what to do.

"Follow my words."

Ciri glanced at the bloody baron in front of him, and said in a low voice.

"With the strength of the earth and the sky, with the world that would have been your home. Forgive me for the child who came to me and I did not receive."

"With the power of the earth and the sky..."

The bloody baron repeated Ciri's words, and the more he read to the end, the more sad his expression became. When he said "Please forgive me", this seemingly strong man was already in tears.

"Your name is... Tiya, I accept you as my daughter."

When the bloody baron finished chanting the spell, he saw the corpse baby raised his thick hands, as if he wanted to touch his father, but the next moment, it suddenly hung down like a puppet with a broken thread, as if dead Same, no more response.

"Now... bury it."

"........."

Accompanied by Ciri's words, the bloody baron placed the corpse baby in his arms in the pit at the threshold, and buried her in it.

"I don't think...he's a bad guy."

Seeing this scene, Liz had mixed feelings deep in her heart, and she could tell that the Bloody Baron was really sad for the passing of this child. He really loves his child. If this child is born, maybe this man will hold her tenderly, amuse her, and bring her a smile.

"He was a good father, but not a good husband."

Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders, while Miaojie also sighed and did not speak.

"What should we do now?"

After burying the corpse baby, the bloody baron looked at Ciri again.

"Tiya should transform into a house elf after one day and one night. At that time, we can summon her and let her take us to find the lady."

Ciri spoke, and then she looked at the baron.

"Go back and rest, there's nothing going on here."

"But, that's my daughter, my child... I also want to wait with you..."

Facing Ciri's advice, the bloody baron was at a loss, while Fang Zheng shook his head.

"It won't help if you stay here. If you are really sad about it, take this as a warning.... Drink less in the future. Anyway, alcohol is not good for your health."

"……………Ok."

Hearing this, the Bloody Baron nodded, then turned and left, while Fang Zheng and the others looked at the small tomb in front of them and remained silent.

"what's next?"

"We'll just have to wait."

Ciri looked at the tomb and sighed.

"If the legend is correct, Tia will become a house elf after a day."
