This isn't a souls-like game at all.

"No heart? No agate flowers?"

He raised an eyebrow, peeled back the skin, and looked inside.

A teardrop-shaped gem emitting a faint purple light attracted his attention.

"what is this?"

He reached out and picked up the gem, and a light curtain popped out.

[Cursed Crystal of the Withering Knight]

Chapter 510 [Skull of the Ancient Saint Worm] (with personal panel)

[Cursed Crystal of the Withering Knight]

Item Description: The vanished and withered soul of the Butterfly Knight.

Grants a cursed crystal that frees the bound.

Used at the Holy Monument, it increases the number of uses of the Cursed Bottle.

And the amount of blessing drops restored.

A dark purple cursed crystal.

The Butterfly Knight Commander's hateful curse remains within:

Despicable traitors of darkness and feathering!

I'm waiting for you in the deepest depths of the Withered Purgatory!!

"It's actually a cursed crystal?"

After reading the item description, Ye Yiyi was slightly stunned.

He never thought that he could find a cursed crystal from this corpse.

Just like the effect of Blessing Crystals, Curse Crystals can also increase the number of times the Curse Bottle can be used.

But the difference is that the cursed crystal can also further increase the recovery amount of blessed drops.

In contrast, only large pieces of Blessing U skirt two + 1 thirty-year-old witch father (seven) Yishan crystal can have this effect.

According to the Saint, the Cursed Bottle is an item born from blessings and curses, so no matter what kind of crystal it is, it can have an amplifying effect on it.

It is for this reason that the bottle called "Curse" contains drops of water called "Blessing".

The Name Seeker, who returns from death and holds the Cursed Bottle, is an unsung hero walking the world with a blessing that is no different from a curse.

After all, blessings and curses aren't that different after all, are they?

Putting aside the messy thoughts in his mind, Ye Yiyi shook his head and no longer paid attention to the crystal itself, but thought about the curse words left by the Butterfly Knight Commander.

"A despicable betrayer of Darkness and Feathering?"

The darkness here, could it be referring to the Dark Knight?

If so, what does metamorphosis mean?

Feathered Knight?

Ye Yiyi scratched his head in confusion.

In his impression, he could be called a Feathered Knight.

It could only be the group of "Feathered Eagle-winged Knights" that we saw in the Weapons Museum, right?

Recalling those puppet insect knights who looked like Kamen Riders, he subconsciously turned his head to look towards the southeast, his eyes penetrating the rock layer, the earth and the sky.

Then it was projected far away onto a figure who was in the deep mountains and forests and still on a long journey.

The insect people who had "luckily" escaped from the Twin Magician Towers had been running non-stop for two days and two nights, and had now crossed most of the Fire Sparrow Flower Kingdom.

We are about to reach the kingdom's northeastern border.

Before, Ye Yiyi was still wondering, why did the other party flee in this direction? Could it be because the Insect Worship Cult had other strongholds in the northeast of the kingdom?

But now, combined with this so-called "metamorphosis" and the other party's escape route, Ye Yiyi has a new guess.

"Timothy."

He turned his head to look at the Highlander mercenary and asked:

"You've been to the Iron Kite Knight Country. Have you ever heard of the Dark Knight and the Feathered Knight?"

"I've heard of them all. The Dark Knights and the Feathered Knights."

Timothy came back to his senses from his frustration and daze, nodded, and answered without hesitation.

"Among them, the Dark Knights are considered a very powerful order of knights. It is said that they hold two seats in the Round Table of the Oathed Knights and have considerable influence."

"In addition, the Knight Master who hired us to investigate belongs to the Dark Knights."

Timothy didn't notice Ye Yi's slightly changing expression. He stared at the ceiling with his animal eyes, and after a moment of contemplation, he continued:

"As for the Feathered Knights, this knight order doesn't seem to be that famous. I only heard a few casual mentions of them from the mercenaries in the tavern..."

"What did you mention?"

Ye Yiyi spoke calmly.

"It seems there's been an insect infestation in Whirlpool City, where the Feathered Knights are stationed. The farmland outside the city has been attacked by a swarm of strange locusts, which have almost completely devoured it..."

"Pests..."

Ye Yiyi narrowed her eyes slightly.

"anything else?"

“I don’t know more.”

Timothy shook his head.

"After all, I've never been to Whirlpool City, so all I know is hearsay."

"Row."

Ye Yiyi nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

That's enough information to know.

First of all, as he expected, the darkness and metamorphosis mentioned in the cursed crystal did refer to the two knight orders existing in the Knight Kingdom.

Even the Knight Master who hired Timothy happened to belong to the Dark Knights.

However, as soon as the investigation team set out, they were attacked by a demon-eating monster.

Not only was the team completely dispersed, but one of the two leading knights unfortunately died, and the other's life or death and whereabouts are unknown.

This seemed to be an accident, but the cursed crystal said that Darkness was a "traitor."

The words contained in the crystals of blessings and curses are the final words left by the soul before returning and disappearing.

Because of this, the blessing is the most sincere blessing, and the curse is the most hateful curse!

In other words, whether blessings or curses, they will not be false or empty talk.

Then, coincidences are no longer coincidences, and accidents are no longer accidents.

It was no coincidence that the Butterfly Knights' base was completely wiped out by the True Evil Spirits, and it was no accident that the team that went to investigate was attacked by the True Evil Spirits.

Even though an abnormal locust plague had occurred in Whirlpool City, and even though the insect people who had escaped were heading towards the Iron Kite Knight Kingdom.

But Ye Yiyi still couldn't be sure that the Yuhua Knights were definitely related to the Insect Worship Cult.

But at this moment, he was completely certain that the Dark Knight was the culprit behind the massacre in the camp and the attack on the investigation team.

Then the question arises:

How could the Dark Knight have the ability to drive the True Evil Spirit to act?

What is their purpose in driving the true evil spirits to attack the investigation team?

Thinking of this, Ye Yiyi looked around the underground hall, and his eyes finally fell on the crystal treasure chest at the end of the hall.

"Treasure box..."

He whispered as he walked towards the treasure chest, looked it over, then raised the Invisible Hunter and pulled the trigger.

The crystals wrapped around the treasure chest sublimated and dispersed. Ye Yiyi leaned over to open the treasure chest, and a human skull as crystal clear as a diamond came into view.

"skull?"

He frowned slightly and held the skull in his hands.

The light curtain then popped out.

[Skull of the Ancient Saint Worm]

Item Description: A cursed object containing the power of decay.

A sacred relic of one of the Flying Insects.

Among the digital life prototype messengers who intend to emerge.

Used on one of the characters who has committed blasphemy.

The indestructible sacred cursed object still has the ability to bind.

That is why they are hidden in dangerous places and strictly guarded.

After reading the description of the item, Ye Yiyi still had no expression on his face, but deep down in his heart, there were huge waves surging and the sea was turning upside down.

"The messenger of the prototype of life who intends to transform into a new form?"

How could the prototype messenger of life who guards immortal life want to transcend?

The objects of their metamorphosis are flying insects?

At this moment, countless thoughts and information were flowing through Ye Yiyi's mind at high speed.

A bug magician who got the [Metamorphosis] from nowhere.

A goblin bound to a cursed pedestal.

The Flying Insect Hymn found in the Shattered Cursed Pedestal.

Insect worship.

The archetypal messenger of life who committed the sin of blasphemy.

The Knights of Feathering.

Trapped here, the Gigantamax Butterfly Knight opens the wall of closed fog...

Ye Yiyi looked at the skull in his hand with a deep gaze, remaining silent.

This dark line that had been hidden deep in his peripheral vision finally revealed some clues at this moment.

"The True Evil Spirit is outside, the Crystallized Beast is inside, and even the treasure chest is completely crystallized... It seems that this unknown life prototype messenger really doesn't want anyone to find this indestructible object."

He muttered to himself, then put the crystal skull into the four-dimensional chrysanthemum.

"So, the Butterfly Knight stationed here is the treasure guardian they chose?"

Ye Yiyi turned his head to look at Timothy in the distance and walked towards him.

"Your Mightiness?"

"follow me."

Looking at Ye Yiyi, who had a slightly raised mouth and seemed to be in a very happy mood, Timothy scratched his head and followed Ye Yiyi obediently.

Returning to the holy monument, Ye Yiyi took out the cursed crystal and shook it towards Timothy, saying casually.

"Although you contributed greatly to the battle just now, you won't get any of the spoils. Do you have any objections? If so, please let me know."

"No."

Timothy said directly without hesitation.

He rubbed the back of his head, looking slightly embarrassed.

"I'm very clear about my own abilities. Even without me, I think you would have easily won. You said I contributed a lot... Please don't make fun of me."

"Rather, it's worth dying to witness such a powerful enemy and even personally participate in the battle!"
