Disregarding the pleading traveler's spirit, or the tradition of keeping his feet off the ground, the angel descended quickly to the ground and bowed slightly in respect to Jenkins.
On the face of the traveler's soul, there was a puzzled expression.
"My lord once said that I will meet unexpected people on this trip. Although I can't tell your identity, you must be a noble person. It's a pleasure to meet you."
said the angel.
"I am glad to meet you too… "
This is a change that Jenkins did not expect. He knows that the background of this story may be deeper than he thought:
"You just deal with your tasks, I will not interfere with anything related to this place."
As Jenkins said, the angel bowed his head in thanks.
"Mortal Kamel, are you convicted?"
The angel asked the traveler's soul.
"Yes, Messenger of God, I am guilty, please take me away from this sinful place!"
"What are you guilty of?"
"I have been stained with too many sins in this filthy world, and my soul is almost no longer clear. Now I have walked the road of glory according to the records of the holy scriptures, and finally died at the end of the journey. Now you Appearing in such a posture must take me out of here!"
He almost prostrated himself on the ground and prayed to the angel.
Jenkins had heard of this honor ceremony, which was very ancient. It was honored by the Traveler Church as the predecessor of Saint Pym, and he was worshiped because he had inadvertently completed the ceremony. (366 chapters)
"Yes, mortal, you set foot on the sacred journey again according to the ancient ritual, and dedicated your life to the key point of the journey. But I can't take you away, your soul is destined to perish here."
"Why?"
The traveler raised his head sharply, but immediately lowered his head because he looked at the faceless face, and the slight tremor of his soul showed the shock he received.
"Could it be... because I failed to offer myself honestly and was killed by the evil one according to the ancient contract, is it because I chose to commit suicide in an attempt to deceive you?"
At least he knew what he had done, and he didn't choose to lie in front of the angel.
"This is only part of the reason, it's really a pity, mortal, I saw your determination and courage, and I also saw your clumsy means and sad ending, but you couldn't follow me away, you are guilty, you are contaminated with this There are so many beginnings and endings on the path of glory, why did you choose to end here?"
Angel asked.
"I do not understand what you mean."
Traveler Kamel asked again, but Jenkins guessed the truth.
"You shouldn't die here. This ancient path of glory has long been polluted. You should choose another path. This is also the test of our Lord for believers. A qualified traveler should have the ability to avoid danger and choose a path. If you don't have these , then at least you should be lucky enough... Sorry, mortal, you are doomed to perish here, I choose to see you, I just pity your courage and hard work, so I just want to tell you the truth."
The brilliance surrounding the angel began to shrink, and the beam of light that descended from the sky also became dim, and the angel was about to go back.
"What?"
The traveler asked incredulously:
"No! It's not true!"
His soul wailed, and he lost his mind and rushed to the angel, maybe he wanted the disappearing angel to take him away with him. But such a reckless approach brought about the result that the soul was shattered by the angel's light. He shouldn't show even the slightest hostility in front of the angel. The sacred light has no ability to judge the intentions of mortals.
"I curse you!"
Before dying, the traveler's soul shouted to the town:
"I curse everyone who lives here! I curse you, my descendants will inherit what I have, and one day, they will bring those extraordinary alchemy items, kill all of you, and kill all of your souls. Crush!"
The curse before the soul was broken hooked up the weird spirit that existed in the town. The last cry of the traveler's soul was also the purest malice. In Jenkins' eyes, a black aura actually formed and spread towards the town.
Of course, those auras will automatically go around when they encounter Jenkins, but apart from him, all living people here will probably be implicated by the curse.
"How is this going?"
Jenkins asked the angel who hadn't left yet, and then watched the traveler's soul disappear with some regret. He admired this person very much, and this person also helped him.
"He has walked the road of glory. If he hadn't chosen the wrong destination, he should have left the material world with me to meet our Lord. Therefore, to a certain extent, his soul is no longer a pure mortal soul. Such a soul The resentment shouted at the moment of destruction, overlapped with the crimes of this town, is enough to form a far-reaching curse."
The angel explained humbly.
"What will happen here?"
Jenkins asked again.
"Soon, the townspeople who sense something is wrong will leave here and scatter all over the world, and the new settlers will not be affected by the curse. The descendants of the cursed townspeople will continue to be affected by the curse. The descendants of Kamal will also hunt them down under the influence of the curse. This will be a revenge ritual that lasts for a long time, and it may take a long time to end."
The angel said pitifully.
"All this because of something as simple as tonight?"
"Yes, the great one, everything is as simple as that. The mortal Kamel has proved his extraordinaryness by being able to successfully pass the road of glory of our lord, and all of this is reasonable. This is a revenge ritual that was born with a very small probability. , I can't stop..."
The angel left soon, and Jenkins calmed down and prepared to leave here. He went back to the empty hotel, and found the recipe for the dust that can make people understand the language from the traveler's backpack, and at the same time found the paper page of this story in the backpack.
Waking up from bed for the seventh time, Jenkins reached out and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead.
"The traveler's last name is Carmel..."
He muttered to himself, got out of bed and pushed open the window, letting the cool night wind outside the window blow in, and at the same time relieved some of the anxiety in his heart.
So far, he has encountered two things related to the surname Kamel. The more recent one is the cursed Kamel family, but this matter has completely ended. The only survivor of the ancient Kamel family It's Mr. Hood who doesn't know the truth; the other thing is a certain thrift store that appeared during the "Phantom of Reality" period. It sold a lot of prohibited items and even weird things. The ancient soul in the mirror] was implicated, but was lost before the church searched.
