Maze Fan: I opened a buffet in the maze

Chapter 468 The Girl's Curse

His own death was not something the bald monk had anticipated.

He believed that the purple-grade treasure should be able to save his life, but it was easily shattered by Misr Van, showing no signs of being a divine object.

"The needle of fate...is it the will of the Lord?"

Before disappearing, the bald monk murmured something, and suddenly felt an indescribable gaze cast from the open door behind him, piercing his soul and landing directly on Misr Van.

The souls of the cultists and sacrificers who had been killed earlier all surfaced.

They were all connected by an invisible thread, shimmering with the same inexplicable light as when the treasure shattered, and linked to Fan Wei.

Concepts like fate and cause and effect flashed by, and the bald monk's ephemeral soul, consumed as a price, suddenly seemed to receive some revelation, proclaiming in a curse-like voice.

"Sinner, you will pay for everything!"

"Our Lord will be resurrected through you!"

The prophecy came true, and the bald monk's soul vanished into nothingness. Fan Wei stood solemnly on the altar, now restored to normal and all anomalies gone.

That was a 'prophecy'.

He recognized that the enemy's last two sentences were not mere empty talk.

Because of Kasuyi and Tong's relationship, Fan Wei has some understanding of 'prophecy,' a mysterious thing that is like a kind of destiny lock.

Nine out of ten prophecies will eventually come true.

And always in unexpected ways.

He felt that this raid on the cultists was not simple. Why had the Blood Cult prepared such a huge ritual, as if they knew he would come?

And what do those invisible threads that finally landed on him represent?

Although Fan Wei doesn't believe he will resurrect the Blood Demon, prophecies are something that can't be ignored, so he needs to find an expert to take a look!

Hurried footsteps came from the passage behind them; reinforcements from the Church of War had finally arrived.

......

"In any case, thank you for wiping out an evil stronghold. As for the ritual you described, there is nothing we can do about it."

The war priest, who led the team to exterminate the evil rebels, stood in the open space outside the canal and spoke to Fan Wei.

"If you're willing, you can accept our surveillance, so that whatever schemes those demon cultists may have, they won't be able to succeed!"

"Thank you, I'll figure something out myself."

Fan Wei smiled helplessly. The priests of the God of War were indeed like those of the Empire. They looked down on the Blood Cultists and offered no help beyond some polite words.

Because of this incident, the subsequent operations could not continue.

After bidding farewell to Chen Hui and Mei Jieka, Fan Wei prepared to go to Tong's agency to check on Tong's situation, but he was also met with a frustrating setback.

The only reply received was, "The director has gone to the palace and is not here for the time being."

As someone who can skip festivals, Hitomi must have something important to do at the palace.

Fan Wei couldn't possibly break into the palace. He stood on a rooftop, looking down at the capital's enormous "dial," his mind replaying what he had seen and heard that day.

Confusion, worry, sorrow, helplessness... all sorts of emotions are growing.

Suddenly, Fan Wei wanted to go home and visit his family.

In the northern part of the maze street, at the Rocky Restaurant, the moment the teleportation occurred, the master of the divine kingdom sensed someone's return.

Gonia jumped off the chair and ran a few steps, clutching a thin red rope she had painstakingly woven, her expression filled with girlish joy.

But she quickly came to her senses, rubbed her face, put on her usual haughty demeanor, and slowly appeared.

"You're back? You actually knew to come here, are you planning to ask me for something?" With her usual mocking smile, Gonia jumped in front of Fan Wei.

Then she noticed the man's low spirits.

"He actually looked so pathetic."

The blonde girl shook her head, put her hands on her hips, and held up one finger, saying to Fan Wei, "It's a serious crime to be in a bad mood when meeting the goddess!"

"Cheer up!"

Fan Wei's originally gloomy mood was actually brightened up a lot by Gonia's actions. He reached out and rubbed the girl's head, smiling and nodding.

"I'm back~"

"Ah, you audacious bastard! How dare you blaspheme the gods!" With her head held down, Gonia jumped up angrily and launched a painless attack with her little fists.

She looks adorable jumping up and down in a huff, but that's not how other people see her.

"You're finally back!"

A surprising figure rushed towards them with a strong wind. Dinner sprinted and tackled Fan Wei to the ground, like a dragon pouncing on its prey!

Fan Wei was stunned for a moment before connecting this somewhat overweight man with a bruised and swollen face with the previous Ms. Long. "You are, Miss Minnie?! What happened to you?"

"It's all because..."

Ms. Long was about to complain when she suddenly caught sight of Gonia beside her, who cast a condescending, disdainful, and cold gaze at her. Her true nature kicked in, and she immediately wilted.

"I fell, I fell..."

Could a dragon really fall like that? Fan Wei thought it was unlikely, but considering Miss Minnie's previous behavior, he thought it wasn't so impossible.

"Alright, what do you want from this goddess? Just say it."

It's in her nature to seize the initiative in the conversation and take control of everything, and she wants to know immediately what exactly happened to Fan Wei.

Similarly, Fan Wei chose to come to the Rocky Rock Restaurant because he felt that the blonde girl was the best person to confide in at the moment.

Eileen has already gone home.

Clara was the person he trusted most, and he trusted her too much! Fan Wei knew that the girl who followed him like a shadow would listen quietly to everything and give him the gentlest comfort in the world.

Then they would ask to go to the Empire with him.

It's estimated that before the next day, we'll see black flames shooting into the sky from the inner streets, the Second Zone reduced to ruins, and the capital city thrown into chaos.

The world has begun its countdown to destruction.

Fan Wei already had a deep understanding of the terrifying nature of the Black Flame and the Destruction God's Child; it was no exaggeration to say that they were the most dangerous beings in the world.

In any case, he would not easily let Clara harbor murderous intent!

"So this little thing stumped you? You're such a nobody~"

After listening to Fan Wei's story, Gonia revealed a mocking expression and spread her arms wide, "From now on, serve this goddess wholeheartedly!"

"When I return to my divine position, I will grant all your wishes."

Looking at the blonde girl with holy light emanating from behind, her eyes closed, chin raised, and a smug expression, Fan Wei was quite envious of her confidence.

"That's true, you should never lose confidence in yourself!"

Clenching his fist and muttering to himself, Fan Wei rediscovered his former high spirits in this nonsensical conversation. After all, he was a man with a system!

There shouldn't be anything in this world that can stump him!

"Hmph, you've felt the power of this goddess, haven't you?" Seeing Fan Wei's dejection dissipate, Gonia revealed a pure and beautiful smile, pretending not to care as she showed off the red rope in her hand.

"Happy New Year! Here's a gift for you, but don't get me wrong! This isn't me thanking you, or saying I like you or anything like that..."

"I only gave it to you out of pity! And because you're not bad looking, I gave it to you out of charity!"

Fan Wei took the thin red string, held it in his hands, and smiled with relief. "Gonia, you've finally grown up!"

Just as the blonde girl was about to explode at the dismissive remark, a pretentious cough came from the side. The two of them turned around at the same time and were immediately stunned.

A stunningly beautiful woman suddenly appeared!

A breeze swept across her moon-like long hair, her azure eyes with silvery vertical pupils and dragon horns, and behind her exaggeratedly perfect figure was a long, slender dragon tail full of exotic charm.

"Miss Minnie?"

Amidst the beautiful lady's charming smile, Fan Wei asked again, still unsure.

"It's me~"

As soon as she opened her mouth, Ms. Long's style returned to its familiar feel, "How is it! Isn't this body beautiful? I sculpted it by collecting flesh for a long time."

She gained weight in preparation for this; dragons have the ability to control their body's tissues at will.

"This is a gift for you! Give me 100,000 gold coins, and you can take it home right away!"

"...Sorry, I don't have that much money."

Fan Wei was at a loss for words regarding Ms. Long's persistence, and could only honestly reply, "It's impossible for an ordinary person to earn this much."

Never lose faith in yourself!

Minnie actually replied to him with Fan Wei's words, "Since I've taken a liking to you, you must be worth that much! Go earn it, I'll be waiting for the day you come back and marry me!"

Fan Wei was stunned. Was this a confession?

No, it's obviously for the money, but after being in this other world for so long, this is the first time he's received such a passionate and direct declaration of love from a woman, even if she's a dragon, it still makes him blush.

"Hehehe."

Gonia looked at the scheming dragon and sneered. She took the little red rope back from Fan Wei and wrapped it around his wrist again and again.

After circling seven times, it was tied into a tight knot.

"Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, this gift is a cursed item."

The blonde girl smiled, and in Fan Wei's bewildered gaze, said with a forced smile, "Weren't you plagued by bad prophecies? I'll use a curse to help you balance it out."

Gonia counted her incantations on her fingers, her expression sinister.

"The first curse: eternal damnation."

"The second curse is to be wholeheartedly devoted and never betray."

"The third curse: strip you of everything."

"The fourth curse is that you may only serve me."

"The fifth curse, the brand that enslaves the whole body."

"The sixth spell: Life and death are in my hands."

"The Seventh Curse: A Curse of Eternal Indestructibility!"

The seven incantations were recited, and the vow was fulfilled.

Under Misr Van's dazed gaze, Gonia smiled smugly and slowly said, "Now, you'll never escape again."

"What a fool."
