Chapter 117

Tang Zheng scanned the data on the attribute table; besides the normal data changes, the two attributes that caught his attention the most were "Comprehensive Resistance" and "Speciality".

Among them.

"Comprehensive Resistance" suddenly increased from the original 0 to a value of 150, while Speciality also increased from the original 20 to 60.

The significant increase in resistance values was clearly related to "Complete Curse Resistance" and "Dark Attribute Resistance".

As for "Speciality", Tang Zheng hadn't fully figured it out yet; the only guess was that it was related to High Rank jobs.

Coming back to his senses.

Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from Duogan's grave, feeling the breeze blowing in the forest, his wide priest sleeves fluttering slightly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Under the night sky, streaks of bright light appeared.

In the blink of an eye.

A full 13 Flame Archangels were summoned by Tang Zheng in one go; of the 15 magic scrolls remaining in the item box, only two were left now.

"Go, kill all the monsters in this forest." Tang Zheng waved his hand at the group of Flame Archangels and said indifferently.

His current "Experience Bar: 17250/10000", was still about two thousand points away from breaking through twenty thousand.

"It's a pity that the existence time of the Flame Archangel is limited; I wonder if I can reach 20,000 experience?"

Tang Zheng thought to himself; with his current experience points, he could level up once more, but it was far from enough to level up twice, so he simply didn't rush to upgrade.

After the Flame Archangels rushed into the forest one by one and disappeared.

Tang Zheng didn't care about the rotten leaves and dust on the ground and found a rock to sit on.

Then.

He took out the "Orb of Death" from the item box, carefully injecting magic power into it while taking out the magic ritual parchment Duogan had given him.

"Interpret Magic!"

A faint flow of magic power flickered in Tang Zheng's eyes as he seriously studied the parchment.

The text on it naturally belonged to the special script of the Forest Gnome tribe; to be honest, if he hadn't mastered this magic, he really wouldn't have been able to understand this parchment.

The next day.

Mid-Fire Month, August 29th.

Early morning.

Edge of the Great Swamp.

The bloodstains on Reynas's body had long since dried and turned black, and her originally smooth golden hair had become messy, making her look very disheveled.

Clearly, Reynas had been staying here all this time.

"It's already been two days."

Reynas glanced into the depths of the Great Swamp, her eyes filled with fatigue, and she leaned her body against a thick tree trunk.

The edge of the swamp was not safe; monsters would emerge from time to time, and she had to clear them out.

Ever since she was sent out from the depths of the Great Swamp by the Flame Archangel, Reynas had been full of worry for Tang Zheng, who had gone deeper in.

In the dense forest deep in the swamp, not only were there various dangerous monsters, but most importantly, there was a terrifying curse permeating the air.

"Wait one more day; if he still doesn't come out..."

Reynas gripped the spear in her hand tightly, determination flashing in her sky-blue pupils.

"If I don't come out, then what?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from not far away.

Reynas was startled at first, then a look of surprise appeared on her face, and she looked up in the direction the voice came from.

Just look!

Without knowing when, Tang Zheng's figure had already appeared at the edge of the swamp and was walking toward her.

Reynas hurriedly stood up and walked to meet him; only when she noticed that Tang Zheng had no injuries on him did the tense look on her face relax slightly.

Although she hadn't been in contact with Tang Zheng for long.

But the other party's ability to summon Fourth Rank angels and his unique alchemical methods were impressive.

In Reynas's view, Tang Zheng might have had his own hidden motives for coming here, but in the end, he came because of the curse on her.

"Of course, it means leaving; if a guy as strong as you died inside, I'd just be throwing my life away if I went in."

Reynas straightened her back, and even though she looked disheveled, she still made herself appear with the elegant posture of a noble.

Tang Zheng shrugged his shoulders: "That's really heartbreaking."

"Heh."

Reynas rolled her dark blue eyes, "I can't see any sign of heartbreak on your face, Mr. Tang."

"Regarding the curse, I have some clues now." Tang Zheng didn't waste words and spoke straight to the point.

With Reynas's personality of being able to abandon everything at will, being able to wait for him here for so long, in Tang Zheng's view, was nothing more than placing her hope for lifting the curse on him.

Reynas's pupils contracted as she looked at Tang Zheng.

"Don't be so surprised, Miss Reynas."

Tang Zheng walked up and stood in front of Reynas, saying, "If you don't mind, let's start now."

Reynas had obtained the "Cursed Knight" job by killing Forest Gnomes and becoming contaminated by the curse power.

This situation.

Before this, Tang Zheng only thought Reynas was lucky, but after experiencing the Forest Gnome incident, he realized more and more.

This wasn't just about being lucky!

Because of the influence of the curse power, the monsters deep in the valley all had their bodies rot, and even the Forest Gnome tribe was destroyed in one fell swoop. In this process, not a single Forest Gnome obtained the "Cursed Knight" job.

"What materials do you need to prepare?" Reynas's voice trembled slightly.

"Nothing is needed, drink this."

Tang Zheng shook his head and took out a bottle of murky alchemical potion mixed with herbal residue from his sleeve.

It looked as if it had been made casually.

Reynas looked at Tang Zheng, then at the alchemical potion: "Okay."

After saying that.

Reynas picked up the bottle of alchemical potion, drank it all in one gulp, and raised her hand to wipe the corner of her mouth: "What's next?"

"Wait."

Tang Zheng spat out a single word indifferently.

=9+Shu_ba

Reynas was just about to continue speaking when a strong sense of drowsiness suddenly swept over her, and then she felt her body seem to become numb, falling toward the ground uncontrollably.

The next moment!

Reynas's body swayed, and she fell to the ground and fell asleep.

"The effect of the potion mixed with the poison sac of a hanging spider and sleeping grass seems pretty good." Tang Zheng nodded gently when he saw Reynas knocked out by the poison.

He seemed quite satisfied with the potion he had made on the spot.

The time spent communicating with Enfierea hadn't been in vain; Tang Zheng still recognized some simple herbs.

Tang Zheng squatted down, turned Reynas over, lifted her rotten right cheek blocked by her golden bangs, and raised a finger to point at her forehead.

Of course.

He didn't have any perverted hobbies.

Passive: Magic Infusion!

Under Tang Zheng's deliberate control, a weak stream of curse power flowed along his fingertip and was injected into Reynas's body.

When he was in the Imperial Capital, he often used that troll for experiments, so he wasn't unfamiliar with this technique of injecting energy into a human body.

The next moment!

The rotten right cheek was stimulated and began to squirm rapidly; because Reynas had fallen into a coma, she didn't make any noise.

Tang Zheng continued to inject without haste.

As this curse power gradually increased, the curse power within Reynas's body was triggered and began to devour the curse power Tang Zheng had injected.

"Sure enough, does it work?"

Tang Zheng's eyes flashed.

When he was in the forest on the outskirts of the Great Swamp, he noticed that after Reynas killed monsters, the situation of being affected by the curse power became significantly worse.

Since his "Cursed Knight" job could be leveled up by devouring external curse power, the reverse was also true.

Tang Zheng controlled the injected curse power to guide the chaotic and disordered curse power within Reynas's body.

The originally squirming rotten cheek began to gradually stop squirming, and even the traces of rot gradually shrank.

About a few minutes later.

Reynas's rotten right cheek had completely disappeared, returning to a fair face just like her left cheek.

"Success."

"Things like 'talent' are truly indescribable." Tang Zheng withdrew his finger from Reynas's forehead and sighed.

Whether it was only rotting half her face or the fact that the curse power within Reynas didn't go out of control during the process of him injecting the curse power.

These situations all indicated one thing.

Reynas was naturally suited for the "Cursed Knight" job.

Before this, Reynas only possessed the "Cursed Knight" job, but now, with Tang Zheng's help, in game terms, Reynas's "Cursed Knight" level was already stabilized at level 1.

Half an hour later.

Reynas opened her eyes blankly and held her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache.

What exactly did she drink just now?

Reynas supported her body with her arms, sat up, and immediately noticed Tang Zheng standing not far away, playing with a black stone in his hand.

"You..."

Reynas opened her mouth, her palm subconsciously stroking her right cheek.

When the sensation she touched was a smooth, flawless cheek.

Reynas's whole body stiffened, and she quickly took out a mirror from her bosom and shone it on her right cheek.

A long while passed.

Reynas raised her head with red-rimmed eyes: "Thank you."

"Congratulations on your recovery, Miss Reynas." Tang Zheng said.

Reynas stood up stiffly, reflexively wanting to pull down her golden hair to cover her right cheek, but soon realized that she didn't need to cover it anymore.

The movement of her hand paused.

She changed the movement of pulling her golden hair, tucked it behind her ear, and let it fall casually.

"Mr. Tang, is your adventurer party still recruiting?" Reynas's exquisite, fair face was exposed to the air, her golden hair reflecting slightly in the sunlight.
