Chapter 264: Chapter 192: Curse Removal!_3
“Humans… How did you grow a pot on your head too? It looks just like my friend’s! However, its pot is a reddish-brown clay one, not as flashy as yours, with all that silver shimr.”
Mr. Bottle said kindly.
“Oh? Is that so! I must et this friend if I get the chance.”
Chen Lun, recalling the descriptions of Mr. Bottle and Mr. Pot from his mory, adjusted the way he spoke, aiming to gain more favorable impression from the other party.
Perhaps because Chen Lun’s Charm Value was high enough, plus the effect of “Friend of Animals,” Mr. Bottle enthusiastically said:
“I sll the scent of a curse on both of you, may I offer so help?”
“That would be most appreciated, thank you very much,”
Chen Lun, with the silver pot atop his head, pressed his hand to his chest and gave a slight bow toward the bronze bottle.
“It’s my pleasure. For , this is nothing less than a sumptuous feast, ha!”
As Mr. Bottle spoke, he opened his mouth and suctioned.
A great sucking force erged, creating a whirlwind out of nowhere, pulling Noah and Chen Lun towards its mouth.
Noah, with his large fra, stood his ground, while Chen Lun dug one foot into the ground to keep his balance.
From both of their bodies, a certain type of “black line” was rapidly drawn out—Noah had one and Chen Lun had two. They twisted into Mr. Bottle’s body as he devoured them.
Imdiately afterward, three new lines appeared on the bronze bottle. Mr. Bottle closed his mouth, showing a satisfied expression.
He smacked his lips, seemingly longing for more, and let out a burp.
“What a tasty curse… I also must thank you both for allowing to partake in such a nice al!”
[You have been cleansed! The curses “Poison of History LV1” and “The Wayward LV1” have been removed!]
[Mr. Bottle’s affection toward you has increased! It is now Friendly!]
[You have completed the B-ranked hidden mission: Dark Knight’s Test!]
[Reward for mission completion: 10,000 Experience Points, 20 Gold Pounds, Bales’s affection, and “Moon Faction Sequence Eight: Supernatural Knowledge*1”]
A series of notification boxes popped up, bringing joy to Chen Lun.
The curses on him were lifted, he had gained Mr. Bottle’s favor, and he even managed to complete the Dark Knight’s challenge mission in the process.
He glanced at Noah next to him. The latter seed a bit excited and a sense of relief that couldn’t quite be put into words.
“I feel so much lighter now, Mr. Jack… The curse is gone!”
Noah said.
Chen Lun patted his arm jokingly and said:
“Then you need to watch your diet and exercise more from now on… That’s the way to get back to how you looked before.”
“Er… I will, Mr. Jack.”
Noah looked slightly conflicted but eventually nodded earnestly.
He thought to himself that refraining from eating Miss Floey’s delicious food would be even harder than advancing a Sequence.
Mr. Bottle rocked back and forth, appearing very pleased.
“Mr. Silver Pot, oh, I apologize for calling you that… What I an to say is, I have urgent matters to attend to and regret that I can’t continue our conversation.”
After giving it so thought, it spat out a bronze bell, which Chen Lun caught.
“My friend, Mr. Pot, is currently busy fighting with a human and can’t co over for the ti being… I’ll introduce you two if there’s a chance, ha!”
“That would be wonderful, I would be honored.”
Chen Lun said.
He took a brief look at the bronze bell in his hand.
[Token – Bell of the Bottle]
Item Description: Used to summon the spirit realm creature “Mr. Bottle,” the bell produces inaudible sound waves when rung, reaching the Spirit World and received by Mr. Bottle.
“Alright, Mr. Silver Pot, I must be off, until next ti.”
Mr. Bottle said with a smile, his body slowly disappearing.
“Until next ti, Mr. Bottle.”
Chen Lun bowed slightly, and Noah did the sa on the side.
Just before Mr. Bottle vanished, Chen Lun stealthily used his “Peeping Eye of Fate” to check on him.
‘Mr. Bottle isn’t very strong… Only around Sequence Seven level, but since his entire being is cursed, hardly any spirit realm beings dare to provoke him.’
Once Mr. Bottle had completely left.
“Let’s head back, Noah.”
“Sure, Mr. Jack.”
Chen Lun grabbed Noah’s arm and focused his attention, preparing to exit the Spirit World.
He took a step forward.
But in that mont, Chen Lun was montarily startled.
[You are being watched by the “Eye of Shadow”! Your own information will be revealed!]
[Maggie’s Tear takes effect! Assessnt successful, the peeping attempt has been exempted!]
At that mont, even though Chen Lun blocked the probing that ca from who knows where, he suddenly had an ominous premonition—His “Spiritual Intuition” told him:
‘Damn it! After using the “Wheel of Fortune,” the consequence is a Luck-10, and my current Luck Points are in the negative. Misfortune could strike at any mont…’
Boom!
The world blurred as it receded into the distance, and Noah returned to the real world.
In the familiar setting of Jack’s manor, he looked around bewildered.
“Huh? Where’s Mr. Jack…?”
