Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 162 Psini, Egypt

Everyone was speechless.

Jiang Yuan's explanation, though somewhat absurd, seems to be the only way to understand it.

Surely Jiang Yuan can't have a monarch-level demon as a helper, right?
It's impossible!

Everyone quickly forgot about the absurd idea and started discussing Xiao Yunmeng and Jiang Yuan's elemental possession forms.

They had never seen Jiang Yuan in this state before.

In Mo Fan's words, he's both handsome and dashing, capable of captivating countless young women.

In Ai Jiangtu's words, he is extremely, extremely, extremely strong.

"It's only slightly better than usual." Jiang Yuan smiled and made a classic thumb and forefinger gesture—the universe between fingers.

If Baxia hadn't appeared, they would have witnessed Jiang Yuan easily subduing the giant sea serpent.

"That gesture again," Mo Fan muttered to himself.

………………

………………

The ship had just passed through the Red Sea and docked at the port of Safaga in Egypt when the mentor's training mission began.

As expected, the training mission was to travel to the city of Psini and deal with the Egyptian dead.

Before that, the group arrived at the Egyptian Pavilion. Without Jiang Yuan and Ai Jiangtu having to lift a finger, Mo Fan and his group easily obtained the Pavilion's Chapter.

The Egyptian National Pavilion is also the final badge on the journey of trials.

After their training, the group will head to Venice, the water city, for the final round.

...

The group headed straight to Pusini without stopping.

This city is exactly like the Egypt that everyone imagines. Both the streets and houses are made of stone, and it is hard to find any modern atmosphere.

A group of mages occasionally ran past on the street, their hurried manner suggesting that something urgent had happened.

"It seems the city's defenses are really tense here," Guan Yu said.

Before arriving, everyone had already inquired about what had happened in Pusini City.

A mirage of a pyramid was projected near the city of Pussini, triggering a severe undead siege that resulted in heavy casualties.

Even the Parthenon is sending people here.

According to the schedule, Xinxia will arrive in Puxini City in a few days.

"I wonder what the difference is between the Egyptian undead and the ancient city undead. Lao Jiang, when are we going to the city wall?" Mo Fan asked impatiently.

"I'll go after the report is published," Jiang Yuan said, pointing to a white tent with gold trim not far away.

The tent has a floral wheel mark at the very top, which is extremely intricate and ornate.

All the wounded who came down from the city wall were sent to this white tent.

Everyone walked over.

"Please, please, save my daughter!"

As you approach, you can hear the wailing and crying.

Right in front of the tent, a middle-aged man was kneeling there, with a little girl lying next to him, her skin pale and terrifying.

Before them stood several Parthenon priests, all looking at the man helplessly.

"We...we are unable to save those cursed by the Pharaoh, we are so...so sorry!!" The temple mage lowered his head in self-reproach.

Jiang Yuan and the others learned about the situation from the people around them. The middle-aged man was a hunter who had recently gone into the pyramids and obtained a treasure, but unexpectedly, it was tainted by the pharaoh's curse.

When he brought her home, the curse afflicted his daughter.

Egyptian pharaohs created the necromancy and curse systems, and therefore the pharaohs' curses are known as the most unsolvable curses in the world.

Anyone afflicted by the Pharaoh's curse will inevitably die, but will retain their most perfect appearance until death.

On the night the cursed man turns completely pale, the light of the pyramids will shine upon him, taking away his soul and body to serve the Pharaoh for eternity!
Ordinary Parthenon mages cannot break the Pharaoh's curse; only mages at the level of goddess candidates can do so.

"I told you long ago that most of the items in the pyramids are cursed, but these hunters just wouldn't believe me. Now look what's happened, they've dragged their own families into this mess."

"Yes, what a lovely little girl. That wretched Pharaoh! I really hope that the ancient Chinese kings can rule over the dead of Egypt."

"."

The crowd went from blaming the hunter to cursing the Pharaoh, and finally to talking about the ancient king.

This shows just how much the Egyptians hated the Pharaoh.

As the crowd moved through the throng, they inevitably passed right by the little girl.

Jiang Yuan looked down at the little girl.

His whole body was pale, and his face showed no sign of pain; he looked as if he were asleep.

When night falls tonight, that will be the time the little girl loses her life.

Jiang Yuan frowned, then looked up and asked, "Isn't there any way to delay the occurrence of the curse?"

If we can delay it until Xinxia arrives, even though she's not even a formal temple mage, she can definitely save her with her Parthenon soul.

“We can delay the curse, but it’s a Pharaoh’s curse. Even if we delay it, we can’t save her life. We need to use our magic to save more people.” The temple mage shook his head.

Rather than expending a great deal of magical energy to save someone who was destined to die, they decided to use their magical energy on mages who were fighting against the undead.

"Who are you?" The guardian knight standing next to the temple mage asked warily, blocking their way.

“We are the Huaxia National Team, here to report for duty,” Jiang Yuan replied.

"So it's you. Please come with me." The temple mage recognized him and quickly invited Jiang Yuan and the others into the tent.

After entering the tent, the group learned about the latest defenses of Puxini City and, after determining the location on the city wall to climb, left the tent.

The hunter knelt outside with the little girl, wailing loudly, and no one drove him away.

Jiang Yuan didn't want to meddle in other people's business.

Even the temple mages don't care, so what reason does this stranger have to care?
But the hunter was crying so pitifully, and the little girl was also innocent.

He squatted down and touched the little girl's forehead with his hand to feel its temperature; it was very cold.

"Can you save my daughter?" The hunter looked at Jiang Yuan with hopeful eyes, as if grasping at a straw.

Jiang Yuan secretly purified and expelled the curse from the little girl, then shook his head: "Sorry, I don't have that ability."

After saying that, he got up and left with Mo Fan and the others.

The power of the armor can sever the source of the curse, rendering it rootless.

Then, use healing powers to restore the little girl's life, filling her body with vitality and adding a purifying effect.

These two steps will dispel the Pharaoh's curse.

Jiang Yuan is about to master the full power of the armor, so breaking the Pharaoh's curse will be quite simple.

It won't be long before he raises his sword against the Great Pyramid of Giza, the tomb of the most powerful pharaoh!

The Egyptians are right, there only needs to be one Hades in this world, the only Hades!
