Headshot Wizard - Chapter 422

Chapter 422 Witch’s Tears

A desolate place in the south of Hehu Town.

This place is far away from the Baine River and some distance from the Black Tower. Sparsely populated weeds spread everywhere, but the Holt’s cemetery was built on this desolate land.

Unlike the violent and chaotic gray dwarves and the vicious dark elves, the Holts are considered to be the most orderly race in the underground world.

At least they also know how to bury the dead. According to the custom of the Holt people, the deceased who are buried will have a better fate when they die. Therefore, the Holt people in Hehu Town, no matter what crimes they committed during their lifetime, they are the same people, they will bury them here.

Dim light hits from above, and all the space above this area is full of gray crystals. The light emitted by this crystal is the dimmer of all kinds of crystals, so the atmosphere here is particularly cold and desolate.

In the tall grass pile, a hand suddenly stretched out and pulled away the tall grass.

Lance walked out of the haystack, looking down at the traces.

“This road looks like someone has just walked recently. There are quite a few Holt people who have died recently, and it’s really troublesome to find them one by one.”

This is already the fourth hour he has been busy in the cemetery.

Within four hours, he searched hundreds of new tombs of the Holt people, but failed to find the one he was looking for. In desperation, he also knew that it was himself who caused this situation, and he couldn’t blame anyone at the moment, so he could only hold his breath and continue to search.

“Blackbeard said that Jen Funi will not die, and no matter what kind of trauma her body suffers, she will be reborn within a certain period of time-this is a damn curse? Is it a powerful ability to keep rebirth?”

Lance murmured inwardly.

His purpose is to find the tomb where the Holt people bury her before Gianfuni is born again.

There is always a special premonition in his heart, this unique girl seems to hide something.

“She asked me to find Blackbeard, she should know that Blackbeard’s blood is not enough to successfully translate the entire notebook.” Lance thought quietly: “But why does she do this? She hates me to the bone, she must not be so. I’m kind enough to take the initiative to help me.”

“Originally, I thought it was because of human death, and the words were good. But she told me the whereabouts of Blackbeard, knowing that she would not die, and her intention was a bit weird. But I have already transferred Blackbeard to Another safe place, I believe she should not be able to play any tricks.”

All the actions of Gianfuni made Lance a little puzzled.

The human heart in the underground world is far more sinister than on the surface. Lance has just been betrayed by the simple-looking lizardmen, and he will no longer be credulous.

After passing through layers of weeds, Lance came to a brand-new cemetery. The unpleasant weeds were as high as one person and could completely block Lance’s sight.

It is precisely because of the weeds that represent the protection of the ship that the soul often lives among the Holt people, Lance is so troublesome. Otherwise, with the power of black bats and eagle eyes, he would have found the tomb of Gianfuni long ago.

At the beginning, Lance even wanted to burn these weeds with a fire. But vaguely, when he moved this thought, he immediately sensed that there seemed to be a wave of power awakening in the cemetery.

Although the power was obscure, it was strong enough that Lance immediately dispelled his plan to use the Vulcan hand in the Holt’s cemetery.

He doesn’t want to have troubles at this gate, especially when the place is not far from the Black Tower. In case the congressmen intervene, Lance will be in trouble.

“Let’s look for it slowly one by one.”

With such an idea, he walked back and forth in front of tombstones.

Finally, half a quarter of an hour later, his footsteps stopped.

【Jianfuni Ellen’s Tomb】

A brand-new standard tombstone stood quietly on the grave. Her father was named Carter Ellen.

“Finally found you.”

A smile appeared at the corner of Lance’s mouth. He suddenly took out a shovel, and dug down the grave of Gianfuni.

…

Scratching the loess was so shoveled away by the huge shovel, the thick soil bag gradually collapsed, and finally a thin layer of mud was exposed.

Lance’s power is far beyond ordinary people, so he is also very efficient in digging graves.

In just ten minutes, a small bag of soil was hollowed out by him in one go.

“Kang Dang!”

The sharp metallic sound of the shovel made Lance’s eyes bright.

The Holt people believe that steel can protect the souls of the dead from being swallowed by otherworldly creatures, so the coffins are all made of iron.

He threw the shovel aside and smashed the dirt away, revealing the top layer of the coffin as expected.

Just as he was about to continue digging, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: “Everyone is dead, why are you still looking for her?”

Lance was surprised, who could sneak up behind him?

He turned around, only to find that he was empty behind him!

“You can’t see me because I am a wandering soul.” The female voice continued: “Wandering souls can choose to be seen or invisible.”

As soon as the voice fell, a cold wind blew, and a translucent wandering spirit appeared in front of Lance.

“Jianfuni?” Lance tentatively asked.

“Mr. Lance, I didn’t realize that you still have the identity of the agent of the god of death.” Gianfuni’s wandering spirit said sarcastically: “I could have been born again long ago, but you have taken away my mark of death. The order of life and death cannot be balanced, so the resurrection has failed three times in a row.”

“Haha…” Lance chuckled. He had already realized this when he heard Blackbeard’s words before.

Although Zhan Funi can be reborn infinitely, there is only one mark of death. When she died, the mark of death was automatically absorbed by [MGM’s appreciation], which might affect her rebirth.

Now it seems that it is so.

“But don’t be proud. The curse I received is very special. It is not only on the physical level, but also on the soul level. It can also be resurrected. Soon, I will be able to condense a mark of death again.” Zhan Funi said coldly. : “Your status as an agent of the god of death does not work for me.”

“Since you are reborn infinitely, then why are you afraid of death?” Lance was not angry, but raised this question.

“Didn’t Blackbeard tell you? This is a curse. You know what a curse is, right?”

Gianfuni said with some pain: “Of course I am afraid of death, because the reborn me, although still Gianfuni, still has a certain memory, but it is no longer the me I am now.”

“My personality will undergo tremendous changes, and my body must reintegrate with a brand-new biological bloodline. The person after the rebirth is actually not exactly the same as me now.”

“That’s it.” Lance nodded. He was rather curious about this curse.

Only this time, without waiting for him to speak, Zhan Funi was the first to say:

“So, you should understand the purpose of my appearance.”

Lance groaned: “If the mark of death condenses quickly, then there is not much time for you.”

“Correct.” Gianfuni nodded painfully: “Since you are here, it proves that you are indeed interested in the steel maze. You mentioned a deal before, and I am not interested in that deal, but now, I want to mention another deal.”

“Tell me.”

“After I am resurrected, I will provide my blood to help you translate Soter’s notebook. With the fat black beard, and with my help, it is definitely enough to translate the contents of the notebook. But as far as I know, the notebook The content only records the main points of the first eight floors, and the secret of the ninth floor is known to me alone. This is the bargaining chip for my cooperation with you.” The wandering soul talked freely: “I want to enter the steel labyrinth with you and challenge the steel Tower. I don’t know about this transaction. Are you interested?”

“What do you want?” Lance asked rhetorically.

“My purpose is very simple, and that is to get one thing-Master William left on the ninth floor of the Iron Tower [Witch’s Tears].”

Gianfuni said in a low voice: “Such a thing is the goal that my father and I have been striving for throughout their lives.”

“I don’t want the rest.”

…

“[Witch’s Tears], what is that?”

Inside the pharmacy master’s cabin, Bonnie asked blankly.

“A thing used to break the curse of the witch.” Miliani replied very simply: “This time I return to this ghost place to get the witch’s tears on the ninth floor of the Steel Tower. This is very important for our organization. .”

“The curse of the witch?”

“Yes. The curse of the twelve witches can be solved.” Miliani said: “In the underground world, there is a branch of the Holt called the Hani tribe. There are many geniuses in this race, but they are often burdened by them. Frightening curse. If you can get this thing, then for our Midnight Secret Society, it will be more convenient to control the geniuses of the Hani tribe.”

“So the labyrinth opens in a week, and I will definitely go in. During my absence, you are not allowed to leave this courtyard, understand?”

In the last sentence, Miliani’s tone was rather harsh.

“Yeah, I see.” Bonnie answered meekly. Her head was buried so low that she could not see her eyes.

…

“That thing can break the curse of your Hani tribe?” Lance felt a little relieved.

If what Zhan Funi said is true, everything can be explained.

Sauter’s grandfather is from the Hani tribe. He must have entered the steel labyrinth to get the tears of the witch; but he failed, so he left the notebook. Only the Hani tribe can truly get the essence of the notebook. And Zhan Funi also wants to get rid of the painful curse of constant rebirth, so the pursuit of witch tears is justified.

“In fact, as long as one Hani tribe has succumbed to the tears of the witch, the curse of our entire race will be eliminated.”

Zhan Funi said quietly: “But for so many years, no one has been able to do this.”

“The witch who cursed us at the time hated us so much that it put such a curse on our entire race.”

“Which one of the twelve witches do you mean?”

Lance felt that things were getting more and more complicated, and he actually got involved with Takaron.

“The last generation of Night Witch, her name is very simple, called Irene.”
