Chapter 480 - Up to no good!
"What did you say?" Liam stared at the demon up close. He first thought that she was a vendor but it looked like she was also browsing the goods just like he was.
"I said." The old woman grinned, "You are under a curse. Soone has put a strong curse on you."
Weirdly this ti, her voice was different when compared to before. She had a sweeter more lodious voice when compared to the shrill coarse caw from earlier.
Liam blinked at this sudden change, and the old woman also cleared her throat, quickly realizing what had happened. Cough Cough. She once again continued in her shrill voice.
"Which witch did you piss off to be under such a powerful curse?"
"Curse?" Liam ignored the small hiccup as he was currently more interested in what the demon had to say rather than her voice.
Curse? He really did not rember being affected by sothing like that. At the least, a notification would have popped out.
The only other way would be…
Liam's eyes widened as he realized that there was another possibility!
The curse could be attached to the quest?
Sothing like that was possible?
Liam shook his head. 'What kind of quest did I accept? Wait, can I get rid of the curse by rejecting the quest?'
He opened his system interface and pondered over it but in the end, he decided not to do it. The quest might be sothing important. There was also a map.
"Is there any way to remove this curse?" He lifted his head up to ask the sa old woman who was now back to browsing the herb shop.
"Mmmm. Maybe. But it will cost you a lot." The old woman snickered.
Oh? Was this his good day perhaps? Liam was pleasantly surprised once again. Not only did this person point out the root of his problem but she also had a cure for it.
"I will pay the cost. Can you tell how to remove the curse?" He fished out the dallion for the old woman to see.
The demon's eyes went wide seeing this dallion and she stared at Liam for a couple of seconds before she quickly changed her tone.
"Cough. For now, I can make a temporary charm for this curse. It will hide you from the curse, but it won't last long."
Liam beca excited. This was good. This should give him enough ti to form a mana core and also finish the quest so that the damn ravens wouldn't be all over him again.
"Yes. Make that for ."
"Ke Ke Ke. That will cost 10 gold coins. My Lord." The old woman's grin widened.
10 gold coins? In a demon settlent? It was strange but Liam did not care. If he could move freely in the Xion realm again, then 10 gold coins was too cheap!
"Ok. Here." Liam took out 10 gold coins and handed it to the demon.
"Wait here. I will return shortly. My Lord." The old woman snickered and ran away.
The heck? Is she even going to return back? Liam scratched his head. The person was not respecting him properly and the way she addressed him was also very weird.
Especially after showing the dallion, there should have been so behavior change but it didn't look like there was?
Did I just get scamd for 10 gold coins?
Liam sighed. He couldn't tell what just happened, but waiting for a few minutes was not a big deal. He also did not plan to be idle while he did that.
He turned to look at the demon running the herb shop and then gave him another gold coin. "I will buy everything in your shop. Co here."
The demon imdiately beca overjoyed. He quickly helped Liam pack everything and the shop was completely empty in minutes.
Liam then gave instructions to the demon and made arrangents for purchasing the bat mounts he had co here for.
He flashed his dallion a few tis and the work got done smoothly. After shelling out a few more gold coins, he managed to buy a total of 20 mounts.
Only this was available at the mont so he purchased these few mounts and stopped. Liam did not want to draw too much attention on himself.
Besides, this place seed to have so sort of breeding facility established. He had never seen this in the other cities. He might be able to visit here regularly and obtain more mounts.
While Liam calmly interacted with the few demons and made so plans on what he could do, the old woman unexpectedly returned.
"Oh, she actually ca back?"
She was holding in her hand a soggy bundle that had so blood dripping from it?
"Here. This should solve your curse problem temporarily." She handed it over to Liam. She then also handed over to him another scroll.
"If you give the items listed here, then I can make a permanent sothing for your problem." Liam hurriedly took the scroll from her hands and looked at it.
There were so herbs listed on it which was not a problem for him, but there were also so other things listed on the scroll, one of which particularly caught his eye.
Ice frog's tongue
"This ice frog… where is this?" Liam quickly asked, though he already knew the answer.
The old demoness grinned and tossed him a parchnt that had the rough map of the land. On it was marked a few crosses. "The ingredients should be there."
So he basically had to travel to all these places and get items from the rare elites at these spots? Liam bitterly smiled.
The cure was worse than the disease. For this, he might as well take a look at the raven's quest and see what it is about.
Either way he did not have the strength to do these things at the mont. So they all had to wait.
He looked up to ask the old woman to see if there were any other alternatives but in the crowd, he was not able to find her.
It looked like she had left while he was busily studying the map.
"Well, whatever." It was not like he could get all the items required even if he found her.
"Ti to check if this thing works or not and take a trip to our guild." Liam looked at the herd of bats all staring at him in unison and nodded contently.
In front of the group was the bat who had eaten the potion. The guy had taken the initiative to beco the leader of the pack.
Liam looked through the streets once again to see if he could find the old woman and then commanded the group.
"Let's go." He hopped on top of Luna who kicked off, flying up into the sky. The bats as well then followed him, the group together lifting up in the air.
All the demons below in the city watched this strange scene and exchanged looks. Was sothing going on?
At a distance, the two demons Ghet and Nyaka were also watching. Of course, one of them recognized the fox on top of which Liam was riding.
"That guy purchased so many flying mounts at a ti?" Ghet gnashed his teeth in anger and enviously looked at the group disappearing into the distance.
Nyaka as well had a similar expression as if he had just chewed on ginger. The two of them hated the bastard who had humiliated them so much.
"How does he have the fund to purchase so many demon steeds at the sa ti?"
"Yes. Yes. I also heard about the increased reward for the squads and platoons in Thol city. Sothing fishy is going on for sure."
"Let's investigate, Lord Nyaka. This guy is up to no good!"
"This rat will definitely get caught! He is hiding sothing!"
"Hmph. Rest assured. I won't let him off easily!"
