A lord being attacked on his own territory was no trivial matter, and the people around him imdiately panicked. So began to search for the assailant, while others sought updates from the upper class.
After understanding the situation, Du You also felt waves of fear, the curse was too intense.
Although he did not know what type of curse it was, Du You understood that it was definitely not sothing benign. Fortunately, it had been partly blocked by the power of his territory and the Mage Tower, otherwise, even with his Eye of the Death God, he would not have been able to withstand it.
The academy mbers had already begun their inspection, but the people from the technology branch were not proficient with curses, so they had to find soone within the academy who specialized in this area for the investigation. However, Du You was not hopeful, for by the ti they would arrive, the aura of the curse would have already dissipated. Finding it would be far from easy.
"We probably shouldn’t investigate this matter too openly," the person in charge said to Du You.
"I know, but we can’t let them off so easily."
"How about secretly offering a bounty? There are quite a few Professionals here in the underground world; they should be able to discover who did it. The natives of Star Ring wouldn’t be capable of unleashing such a powerful curse, so it must have been the work of a Professional."
"Right, have you offended anyone?" After a mont, the person in charge added.
Du You shook his head: "I have offended people for sure, but no one possesses such capabilities."
Du You was certain that among the people he had offended, none but the Dark Night rcenary Group could have taken such an action. The individuals who had directly conflicted with him from the rcenary group had all died, not knowing it was his doing. More importantly, even if they found out he was in Star Ring, they wouldn’t be able to organize sothing so quickly.
Beyond this, Du You could not think of anyone else targeting him. Left with no choice, Du You reluctantly started offering bounties, but it was a desperate asure; most crucial was to increase his own strength.
What Du You did not know was that the curse, after being intensified and backfired by the Eye of the Death God, had returned.
The person resting in the secret chamber suddenly felt the surrounding air grow cold. As the leader just opened his eyes, he saw the statue at the center of the Magic Array shatter explosively.
Then, a force spread, enveloping everyone within it. "Damn it, the curse has failed, what the hell happened!" soone beside him shouted frantically.
"It must be that Du You has so high-tier curse defense item on him, otherwise it wouldn’t have turned out this way. Our curse, even a tier five Destroyer wouldn’t be able to ignore it completely."
"So, what do we do now?" another person asked.
"What? Were you just speaking?" The leader asked strangely.
"I was speaking, yes, I was asking what we should do now. Wait, leader, what were you just saying?"
Hearing this, the leader’s expression changed: "Everyone quiet, quiet, listen to , listen to ," he suddenly shouted, waving his arms, barely managing to focus everyone’s attention on himself.
"Haven’t you noticed? Our situation is very peculiar, it’s as if we’re under a disregard curse. No, it’s definitely a curse, it’s backlash, the item on him isn’t just for defense against curses, it also has backlash capabilities. We’ve all been affected, so we must lift it as soon as possible."
"The curse has now activated, and it is extrely fierce; our current situation is very dangerous."
Now, everyone finally understood why they hadn’t been paying attention, always disregarding what others were saying. In fact, it was the curse’s doing. It was not just themselves being ignored by others, but others were also ignoring them.
Thinking of the terrible effects of the disregard curse, their expressions turned ugly.
"Damn it, I always said not to be greedy for small gains, we should have asked a tier five expert to join us, you insisted on using the statue, saying it would suffice, now look, we’ve all been affected."
"Now is not the ti to talk about that, I’m thinking about how we can get back. Once we’re ignored, it won’t be easy to get permission to return to headquarters," soone realized the severity of the situation.
But it seed as though no one heard him, still bickering to themselves in a low voice. The entire secret chamber had turned into a duck farm, filled with noisy and disorganized clamor.
Finally, the leader managed to get everyone together. To save ti, they directly used their internal connections to request a spaceship to take them back.
But they themselves did not know what fate awaited them.
anwhile, in a grand manor much farther away, a young man felt sothing was off. Since just now, his servants seed to be gradually growing indifferent towards him, even starting to disregard him.
"What are you all doing? Didn’t you see my juice is finished? Refill it quickly."
"Ah, you are still here, I apologize, I’ll refill it for you right away," a servant finally caught on and hurriedly refilled the juice, but the others felt strange, wondering to whom their colleague was talking.
"There’s clearly no one here, what are you doing?" a maid ca over and actually started to clear the table. Soon, everything on the table was taken away, and the person who had just refilled the juice was also scratching his head in confusion.
"It’s so strange, the young master was clearly just here, how did he suddenly disappear?"
"What’s going on with you, I’m right here, who’s playing pranks? I get it, it must be my older brother, don’t think you can get rid of this way, this ti I’ve made a major contribution."
But no matter how much he shouted, it was useless. As a common person surrounded by other common people, after being affected by such a powerful curse, the effect was much more pronounced than for others.
In less than a day, the people around him almost completely ignored him. Even if he ran up to others to speak, people would only think it was noise. Unless he resorted to punching and kicking, others simply would not realize there was such a person here. Unawares, this young master had beco invisible in his own ho.
What awaited him was complete disregard, a fate even more terrifying than having nothing at all. As for the matter of the Andaru Ores he ntioned, no one could hear it, and even if they did, they would disregard it.
It must be said, this curse for concealing ssages was even more domineering than directly eliminating soone.
