Thus, several hours passed quickly.
Klaus got a cave that was not being used in the imdiate vicinity, and he settled down there.
'I have many wounds because of that strange curse.' He sighed as he looked at his back. His clothes had also been affected a bit, but they had been given to him by Jasmine and had so resistance, so they weren't too bad.
But the wounds needed to heal.
Although healing is much more difficult for him in this world, as he can't employ cursed energy, thanks to Jasmine, he can heal a bit or at least make his current wounds more resilient.
According to what she told him, the way to do it is to move the positive energy to the affected region and keep it around for several hours. That would help the healing process to increase in several folds. If one has enough energy and the wounds are not deep or irreparable, this process could last a few hours.
But Klaus lacks power, and the wounds are burns and hollows, so he must be patient. After covering them with power, he turned his attention to sothing else.
'These boxes must have sothing good in them. That guy was powerful, and he seed to be concerned about them. Plus, they were well taken care of. I might not have gotten them if it wasn't for the initial fuss.' He thought.
Luckily for him, the boxes did not have many security chanisms. They were not modern boxes, and their locks were simple and easy to unlock with his knowledge.
So soon, with a 'click', two padlocks fell to the floor. They were much easier to open than the old padlocks on Earth, so Klaus was glad and opened one of the two boxes.
They were made of thick wood, preventing any sll or light flash from erging. Everything inside was covered with a strangely tough, thin cloth.
Klaus moved the cloth quickly and found several things on the other side.
'Items?'
Among the things he found, he could see a small Ring, a combat suit, or sothing similar, which seed easy to wear and comfortable. In addition, two small knives were on the side, which ca with a specialized sheath.
He pulled them out to look at them and focused on staring at them for a couple of seconds, wanting the System to give him the information on them. The System didn't take long to do so.
Although this system is not very useful for sorcerers, thanks to it, you can see information about various items that are not protected by a sorcerer's power.
[Complete 'Sorcerer Assassin' Suit]
| Level 2.
| A suit specially made from Curse Beast material, reinforced with highly resistant leather.
| High defense, but very warm. Only to be used on cold nights for a limited ti.
[Ring of Endurance]
| Level 2.
| A Ring forged from the material of a Cursed Dragon, belonging to one of the 6 Executioners of the Duke of Landerwolf of the Cursed Empire.
| It grants high stamina for 6 hours in exchange for consuming life energy. Useful in high-stamina missions, but be careful; you might dry out if you don't grant a good source of life energy.
[Assassin's Knives]
| Level 1.
| Baby dragon tooth knives. They belong to the Sixth of the 6 Executioners of the Duke of Landerwolf.
| Tough and durable, but little penetration.
'A Duke of such a powerful Empire must be dangerous, so his subordinates should be too. I must assu that the guy I saw before I left the city is the owner of this, right?' He thought after finishing reading the explanation of each of the items.
He might not even be able to wear any of them openly, but during the mission or when he enters the final stage of the mission, he could put the suit on at an appropriate ti to pass so test, so he decided to keep it close by and discard the box.
'Now...' He averted his gaze to the other box and opened it. He knew that these items could eventually fetch a good price; besides, being found in the Cursed World, no one should be looking for trouble if he sold them overseas, so selling them was a good idea.
If he could find so more, it would be amazing because if he managed to pass the first test and complete the First Bath, when he left here, he wouldn't have any money, and mbers of the governnt might want to take advantage of him, as far as he knew.
The mark that Jasmine ntioned to him was a slave mark that all the Reared in the Mist that were sent here should have. But that mark wasn't on him, so those guys may want to imprison him differently; that's why he needs to be prepared to run away and have how to sustain himself, so the items are necessary.
Opening the other box and pulling aside the special small cloth, Klaus was shocked.
In this box were only two things, which Klaus quickly grabbed.
'Cursed Cores?'
He quickly began to study them, grabbing one of the first and placing it on one of the clothes on top of one of the boxes.
As far as he knows, Cursed Cores are in all Cursed Beasts once they reach a certain level in their own System, which is a pretty powerful one. Normally, Cursed Beasts are not born with sothing like this, but occasionally, you can find so with a Cursed Core from birth.
Here, it should be noted that there are notable differences between a Cursed Core from a Human and one from a Cursed Beast. Perhaps one of those most notable differences is that a Sorcerer's Cursed Core cannot be obtained, which is possibly why he didn't get any before. anwhile, a Beast's, provided it has it, will drop it when it dies.
Although they are essentially the sa, they are not the sa. Plus, there may be so many differences that Klaus doesn't understand them at the mont.
Now, what is a Cursed Core good for, what does it have inside, and why are they so sought after?
The answer is, again, simple: The Cursed Core has cursed energy inside it in large quantities. At the sa ti, it has all the understanding of the cursed energy that the Cursed Beast had before it died, and even better, it could co to have abilities.
This is why the Core of a Curse is usually given another na: Corrupted Core of Understanding.
