Chapter 521

"Oh, it turns out you asked her to start recording her biological journal."

Rin heard a lot of Starweaver Witch's little secrets and looked satisfied.

He has already thought about how he should blackmail Angela next time he sees her.

"In addition, I can teach you a rune technique that only Star Weaver Witch can know. Do you want to learn it?"

This time Rin hesitated after turning the page: "I am not very good at runes, so I am not sure if I can learn it."

"Sure."

Natalie looked at him lovingly and explained: "You entered with consciousness. I only need to use the mark inherited by the witch to imprint it on you. After you leave the dead city, I will study it a few more times."

"Ahem, wouldn't it be too much trouble?"

As she said this, Rin's lips almost reached her ears.

What kind of immortal master is this!

At the beginning, he revealed Angela’s dark history and taught him secret techniques!

Wow, compared to Angela, Master is so nice!

A pair of slightly thin hands were placed on Rin's head.

A string of rune messages came to mind one after another.

In a daze, a card seemed to form in front of him and merge into his body.

"Rune inscription...karma fire..."

What Natalie taught him was a curse in runes called Karmic Fire.

It sounds like a Buddhist term, but it's actually just a technique that intensifies fire damage.

A part of the damage caused by the fire element can be hidden in the curse and attached to the opponent's body.

The damage will gradually accumulate, and then suddenly attack all at once, forming an extremely powerful burst effect.

One thing is that it is difficult to detect, even the engraved runes will be hidden in the spell lines, making it difficult to detect.

The shortcomings are also obvious. The inscription takes a long time and requires multitasking. While constructing the magic formula, you also have to construct the runes, which consumes a lot of mental energy.

Currently, Rin has no problem with dual-tasking. He has already reached the window of dual-spells.

The so-called double casting is to use the absolute proficiency in spells to shorten the chanting words as much as possible.

Combine the two chants together and construct two magic spells at the same time, releasing them at the same time.

Generally speaking, this is a skill that some magicians can master when they reach level 50.

Those with extraordinary talents can master it even at level 40.

It's just that both magics are relatively low-level.

Rin, on the other hand, was able to cancel the double casting in advance because of the non-singing magic that was rewarded by the system and the progress of awakening the phoenix bloodline.

Karma Fire Addition and Double Casting are about the same difficulty.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this gift?"

Rin gave a thumbs up: "I'm so satisfied, senior! I believe you are definitely a witch..."

Speaking of the witch, he suddenly hesitated.

"Can I know how you... became undead? There are other witches..."

As mentioned before, the witches mysteriously disappeared one by one. Some speculated that they were living in seclusion, some speculated that they were dead, and others speculated that they went to the banned Yuankong Continent.

Natalie lowered her eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and showed a pleasant smile again.

"This... is related to the secret of the witch and the secret of the entire continent. If you want to know..."

She raised her head and glanced at the sky: "If you can pass the Death City Trial, I will let you know, how about it?"

"Tsk, I knew it wasn't that easy."

However, passing the trial was inevitable, so Rin was not surprised.

"in addition……"

Natalie suddenly changed the subject, her good-natured look disappeared, and she began to grit her teeth.

“That guy Angela stole three thousand gold coins from me for gambling.

Before I left, I didn’t pay back a cent, and now it has become my obsession. As the saying goes, a father’s debt is repaid by his son, and a teacher’s debt is repaid by his disciple…”

Chapter 38 Do you witches all have the same virtues?

"This traitor! He said he wanted to learn music and form a band, but he didn't expect that he actually gambled with it!"

"She's not studying divination, so why bet?!"

"She gambled away all my living expenses for a year!"

“I can’t even get out the balance of the purchase for the shark!

"Three thousand gold coins has become a worry before my death, so now I can only linger on the ninth floor!"

"Damn dead girl!"

"Why did I raise such an unfilial daughter!"

Seeing the sudden change in the style of painting in front of her, and the spread of black energy behind her, she looked like a witch dancing with demons and getting increasingly violent.

Rin swallowed and pulled the stunned Momo back half a step.

Look at it like this, you just learned a rune, and you want to spit out three thousand gold coins when you change hands?

"Witch...grandma?"

Momo asked cautiously, finally regaining her sense.

Natalie gradually calmed down, with a sad look on her face.

"Oh, my, it's precisely because of those three thousand gold coins that even after I die, my fortune is still poor, and because of my obsession, I can't be promoted to the tenth level."

"Um...although I don't know what the relationship between these three is..."

Natalie interrupted Rin with a smile: "I also gave you a gift. This is what you should do as a master. Next, as her disciple..."

"What I want to say is that she also owes me ten thousand gold."

Although I will later use the publication of novels to pay off the debt, what I owe is what I owe.

"You and she are both teachers and mothers..."

The two started a ten-minute tug-of-war over who dared to pay back the money.

I have to say that Natalie's eloquence is much better than Angela's.

"Besides, there is no point in talking about this here! What's the use of gold coins in the dead city? If they are really useful, you can also materialize them!"

Natalie shrugged: "I don't want gold coins. The dead city uses ghost money. Only the lord of the dead city has the right to materialize this currency."

"Huh?"

"The purchasing power of three thousand gold coins in reality is equivalent to about 30,000 ghost money here..."

"No, goodbye."

Rin was alert and took a step back decisively.

But Natalie took out a key slowly and gestured to Rin.

When she took out the key, the trial key that Rin put in her pocket began to shake slightly.

"This is the key to the mysterious shop... Haha, I knew that the little saint must be looking for the trial key."

Rin pulled the corner of his mouth and took out the key.

He had always been very curious before. Each area was separated independently. How could the so-called blood jade keys sense each other and even gradually approach each other?

If you think about it carefully, it is actually a kind of guidance from fate.

From the moment he got the first key, it seemed that he was destined to come to the next area, where he could directly or indirectly find clues to the next key.

From the first mission copy, there was an invisible thread that tied him and all the remaining keys together.

I don’t know whether it was a coincidence or a result of careful planning.

From the appearance of the dead city until now... Rin believes that it is the latter.

Everything is more like a game between an unknown god and the Lord of the Dead City.

If this is true, it is obvious that the former is one step ahead.

Forget it, there is no point in thinking so much, and the debt problem is more important at the moment.

Rin doesn’t want to be burdened with the so-called teacher’s debt for no reason.

"I do need to find the mysterious merchant... How about this, I'll use the ten thousand that Angela owes me to offset your three thousand?"

"... You kid, you're good at calculating."

Natalie sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, I shouldn't put my resentment towards Angela on you."

"To be honest with you, I actually found a way to break through to the tenth-level domain master, and the cost is still 30,000 underworld coins, this key, and helping you get the trial key from the mysterious merchant."

"Not only that, I will also provide help when you need it later."

"How about charging you a total of 30,000 for these?"

Lin was speechless for a while. How come this guy is the same as Angela, obsessed with money.

Wouldn't it be enough to say this earlier? Why did he have to talk about all this nonsense.

Is it a very vulgar thing for a witch to talk about selling and hiring directly?

Does she have to find an inappropriate way for herself?

"So you, a witch, the Lord of the Undead Domain on the ninth floor, can't even get 30,000?"

Momo, who had been listening to the adults' conversation, suddenly raised her hand.

"I know, because the witch grandmother lost a lot of money playing cards with a very powerful businessman! So she sold everything she could buy! It seems that she still owes a lot, and no one is willing to lend her ghost money."

"... As expected, she is a Star Weaving Witch of the same lineage."

Natalie's old face blushed: "Originally, if you give me some time, 30,000 would not be a problem. Who knew that the dead city would appear in advance? I must take this opportunity."

It can be seen that she has a bigger plan in mind.

Rin wanted to ask a few questions indirectly, but the other party insisted that he would tell everything after he completed the trial.

Rin had to think about the rationality of this price.

If it is really based on the price of 3,000 gold coins in the present world, it is not too much.

Buy important items, plus a reliable fighter, who is a native and related to me...

"Okay, but I don't have the ghost money you mentioned now."

Rin thought about it and took out the loot he had just seized.

"See if these are valuable."

These are all items in the dead city, and they can't be taken outside. Pick out the unused things. It would be great if they can be sold.

One of them is a storage bracelet wrapped in black air, a bone flute, and a human-like skull that looks like a very young child.

At first glance, when Albas held it, he thought it was the bones of a child.

Natalie picked up the skull and examined it carefully.

"This... when you approach foreign challengers, there will be a reaction. If I'm not mistaken, the eye sockets will glow like this in the same area."

"Well... that means those guys can rely on this thing to find challengers."

"It's not that easy. There are hundreds of areas from the first to the third floor. It takes a long time to find them one by one. On the contrary, there are very few areas above the eighth floor, so it's easier to find."

Natalie explained: "The one who looks like a mouse just had the luck to run into you."

Rin snorted disdainfully: "It's better to say that we were lucky and ran into someone who came to deliver equipment."

"...That's right."
