Chapter 3036: Cup/Tragedy

"Fuen?"

Su Xiao hadn't heard this name before. He hadn't stayed in the Old King City for long.

"Hmm, Fuen, many people also call him the Hole-Opening Doctor. He helps the Soul Bell Tower open holes in the heads of victims. This helps release soul power. Most of the people who have holes opened join the Soul Bell Tower. It can be said that if you see someone with a hole in their head, they are basically members of the Soul Bell Tower."

Bishop Noe said this, shaking his head with a bitter smile. He had always been unable to figure out why the people of the Soul Bell Tower were so obsessed with brain tissue, simply having a grudge against the head.

"Morilan, your grandfather died from the aftermath of the Ancient God child descent. There was a ritual arranged by the Soul Bell Tower in the basement of the old house he purchased."

Su Xiao had roughly analyzed the situation. Many years ago, people from the Soul Bell Tower arranged a ritual in the basement of that old house and conducted the first Ancient God child descent ritual, which eventually failed. The Ancient God child that was produced was a monster and went on a rampage in the Old King City.

In the end, the Soul Bell Tower used the excuse of failure in creating a new container and the broken container going out of control to brush this matter off.

As for the second Ancient God child descent, it was an accident. After Morilan's grandfather bought that old house, he was very interested in the semi-damaged ritual cup in the basement, thinking it was an antique with collection value, so he brought it back to 'Dank City', which led to the misfortune of Morilan's family.

This wasn't Morilan's grandfather picking up a treasure, but the Soul Bell Tower deliberately leaving that semi-damaged ritual cup, just to pit those who were fated.

Morilan's wife, while cleaning the house, had her finger cut by the broken part of the ritual cup. Coupled with the physique of Morilan's wife, she had strong Ancient God energy adaptability and acceptance, which led to the nurturing of the second-generation Ancient God child.

The second-generation Ancient God child was a thoroughly defective product and died in the mother's abdomen before it was born.

The Soul Bell Tower discovered this matter. They didn't care about the second-generation Ancient God child, but were very interested in Morilan's wife, who had nurtured the Ancient God child and survived, and threatened her: either Morilan dies, or she joins the Soul Bell Tower. Two choices.

Regarding Morilan's own problem, this was easier to solve. Su Xiao had discovered just now that the opponent's luck attribute was gradually improving, from -2 points just now, gradually becoming -1 point.

Su Xiao had already determined why Morilan was so unlucky, and why his cousin drowned while washing his face. This was not a coincidence, but being influenced by some kind of object.

"Morilan, recall carefully, is it that every time you return home, you become very unlucky, and after traveling for a period of time, your luck will improve."

Morilan was not cursed. Su Xiao could determine this point. In the last world, he was cursed by the Magic Sea for a whole world progress. Regarding curses, he was already a beginner and knew them relatively well.

"This..."

Morilan recalled carefully. He hadn't noticed it before, but thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be the case.

"If I'm not mistaken, there is a broken metal cup in your home, left by your grandfather."

"Er? How do you know?"

Morilan had an expression of seeing a ghost, and it seemed that he thought of something. He was a bit excited.

"Are you a prophet? Can you predict for me whether my luck will improve later?"

Morilan had already calculated in his heart that he would throw away the ancient cup at home when he went back. He didn't know when that thing was brought back. The memory of this aspect was very blurry. Every time he wanted to throw it away, he felt reluctant.

What he would never discover was that if there was no intervention from outsiders, he would keep that ancient cup until he died, and then that ancient cup would be discovered by the next victim.

"Pfft~"

Hearing Morilan say the word prophet just now, Baha couldn't help but laugh, and Bishop Noe on the side also had his cheeks twitching.

"..."

Su Xiao looked at Morilan. It was a pity that this guy didn't go to the Soul Bell Tower. His brain hole was naturally big.

"Not really. If you agree, you can sell the ritual cup in your home to me. I'll pay 5000 Lang of crystal fat."

"Really?!"

After confirming again and again, Morilan rushed out of the hotel with big strides. Baha and Bubu Wang quietly followed, without forced interference. Morilan probably couldn't get rid of that ritual cup.

Morilan might have run all the way, and in less than half an hour, he brought back a cloth bag. Looking closely, this cloth bag was half a curtain torn off.

"Bennie, pay."

"Meow!"

Bennie stomped its meow paws, meaning that crystal fat was hard to earn, how could it spend 5000 Lang of crystal fat all at once? Although that was the case, Bennie also paid the crystal fat happily.

Morilan had a look of wanting to speak but stopping. He suddenly didn't want to sell this ancient cup. Even for 50,000, or even 500,000 Lang of crystal fat, he didn't want to sell it. It seemed that this ancient cup was very important to him and must not be taken away. He wanted to take it back, right now!

Morilan's expression twisted, and he raised his hand to grab the ancient cup on the table.

"Deal."

Su Xiao spoke, his voice not high, but to Morilan, it was like a thunderbolt. His body trembled. Just now, he seemed to be possessed by a ghost, actually wanting to fight to the death to keep the object of disaster that took the lives of his whole family. Was he crazy?

After a while, Morilan calmed down, and didn't even dare to look at the ritual cup.

Because Su Xiao hadn't left the hotel for even half a step, Morilan was a bit worried about the authenticity of all this, but under the guarantee of Bishop Noe, Morilan barely felt relieved.

A few minutes later, Morilan, holding a large box of crystal fat, stood on the street of Gem Street. He felt that everything was as unreal as a dream. An hour ago, he had nothing, but now, not only was his bad luck lifted, but he also learned that there was a relative alive, plus 5000 Lang of crystal fat as start-up capital.

"Grandfather was right. After the suffering ends, everything will get better."

Morilan's back, which had always been a bit hunched, gradually straightened. In reality, he wasn't lucky; this was just a transaction. In this transaction, Su Xiao obtained an Immortal-grade gemstone and a severely damaged ritual cup.

Inside the hotel, Bishop Noe made a gesture to get up and say goodbye. This old fox was very sharp and vaguely guessed what Su Xiao was going to do next.

"White Night, if there's nothing else, I'll go first. My old bones haven't had a good sleep for a few days."

"There is something."

"Must you drag me into the water?"

Bishop Noe's eye corners twitched, his expression angry.

"Five days ago, you sent someone to the Dream World. Four days ago, you secretly contacted Hash in the Insect Kingdom. Three days ago..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, Bishop Noe sat back down, smiling and saying:

"The situation in the Old King City is very complicated. We need a perfect plan."

Bishop Noe was smiling on the surface, but in his heart, he wanted to kill the subordinates who left so many 'tails'. Any of these things, if fully publicized, would be enough for him to drink a pot.

No longer bothering with Bishop Noe, Su Xiao looked at the gemstone he was holding between his fingers. This gemstone was named 【Soul Cut】.

【Soul Cut】

Origin: Dark Star World

Quality: Immortal-grade

Type: Gemstone (Rare)

Effect: After embedding, weapon sharpness +52 points, weapon armor penetration +46 points. Every point of soul strength of the user can increase 1 point of sharpness and 1 point of armor penetration bonus.

Prompt: This gemstone can increase weapon sharpness by up to 205 points and weapon armor penetration by 197 points.

Prompt: If the gain of this gemstone reaches the maximum bonus, it will increase soul damage by 12%.

Rating: 1496 points (Immortal-grade gemstone rating is 1000~1500 points).

Introduction: The extreme edge of the blade can slash the soul.

For the 【Soul Cut】 gemstone, Su Xiao was quite satisfied. This gemstone didn't waste Bennie's careful selection. After doing crystal fat jewelry trade for so long, this was the biggest harvest.

Not only that, Bennie could also harvest a wave at the end. After leaving this world, the use of crystal fat would not be great. Before that, Bennie would try its best to acquire supernatural gemstones.

It could be said that letting Bennie do business was more reliable than treasure hunting.

Besides this gemstone, Su Xiao also obtained a severely damaged ritual cup. For the Kodo School and the Soul Bell Tower, this thing was a waste that could bring bad luck, but for Su Xiao, this thing still had some uses.

【Damaged Ritual Cup】

Origin: Any world with high-position Ancient Gods.

Introduction: This ritual cup technology was developed by scholars of the Meteorite Star, mostly used for the nurturing of Ancient God children, as well as the growth of eyes. Scholars of the Meteorite Star believe that more eyes can bring more powerful power, or see certain different existences.
