The brave man opened the coffin and rose

(Completed, today's 6k is presented, I hope you enjoy reading it)

There is destiny in this world.

In this world, some things seem destined to happen and cannot be changed.

The existence of prophecy spells further proves this point.

Maybe some people do not agree with these things, but sometimes even real gods walking in the world cannot be free from these constraints.

People can only choose to believe.

Fate is like an invisible red thread that ties people together tightly, whether they like it or not.

Some people have a rough fate and encounter wave after wave of setbacks and difficulties, as if they are destined to go through these hardships in order to grow.

However, there are also some people whose destiny is smooth and successful, and they move towards success smoothly.

However, as long as it is real, it can be used.

Just like after Abes came to this world, he did not stick to the ideas of atheists, but recognized the existence of gods, and at the critical moment, he used the power of the two gods to help himself resolve the crisis in the royal capital.

And since fate really exists, how could there not be the choice to utilize its power?

It is for this reason that weird magic has its chance to appear.

The one who uses weird magic is one of the most notorious monsters in the wizarding world.

Ghost woman.

In their seemingly endless lives, these strange visitors from the Fey Wilds can often be easily contaminated by other powers, or even merge with other dimensions.

This usually allows them to invent unusual ways of using magic with ease.

Similar to the unruly school of Turi, but more elusive.

The bizarre magic a hag can call upon often takes many forms and has a variety of triggering methods.

This makes it impossible for even those scholars who have read academic books on hag lore to predict what a hag has hidden up her sleeves, or under what circumstances something will be triggered.

Those in the class known as aunts or grandmothers, those hags with a long history and reputation, may know some unique rituals.

These rituals can temporarily or permanently alter or change a creature, even, for a limited time, resurrect the dead, rewrite memories, or drain away emotions.

On the other hand, even a hag of no high status might have strange, one-off items that don't mimic common spells or even follow normal magical rules.

The purpose of using all these unpredictable forces is transformation.

It is generally known that there are five kinds of ghosts in the world (and beyond).

Less well known is the fact that some hags can transform from one type to another during their lifetime.

A hag who lives long enough or is given certain necessary resources seems to be able to change her basic type.

Throw away those origins that should belong to nature!

She needs to abandon her old physiological functions, leave her hometown, come to a new environment, and then go through some rituals or sacrifices to finally transform into a ghost woman suitable for her current living environment.

And it is said that if these ugly, ancient and terrifying monsters really changed, and found ways to gradually become each of the five types of hags over a long period of time, then she could eventually become something more powerful.

Some kind of aunt or grandmother level beyond the ghost.

A new level that could not be reached even by killing one's own mother.

In the relevant records...

The source of this power is.

destiny!

However, no matter how hard you push, climbing high is always dangerous.

Because the higher you climb, the harder you will fall.

If a being undergoes several changes, but makes mistakes in the final steps, causing the metamorphosis and evolution to fail...

So, where will the failed product go?

----------

When Abes took Anivia to find Crimson, he was indeed vomiting as described.

And around him, there were several other people who had the same symptoms.

However, what came out of Crimson's mouth was not a half-digested lunch, nor did it emit any sparks of flame.

But it was something else, some...bugs.

Abeth frowned and carefully observed the conditions of Crimson and the others.

Then he saw that Soran was also present. At this moment, he was standing aside among the crowd watching the excitement.

In response to this, Abes also sighed.

As if blessed by the goddess of luck, this guy always seems to encounter some very important events while standing and watching the fun.

Last time, this guy got a diary and parchment that were extremely suggestive and pointed.

I just don’t know what the situation will be like this time?

Anivia stood aside, her eyes full of worry and confusion.

She asked softly, "Abes, these worms came out of their bodies? What is going on?"

Abes took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

He looked around, trying to find more clues.

Soon, he noticed a strange detail:

Aside from Crimson, the few adults who vomited appeared to be vendors, not customers.

Is there anything in common between them?

The soldier who came to tell me the news said that Crimson had a fight with someone and made him vomit...

Could it be that these vendors have all been beaten up by Crimson?

So, Abeth asked the red-haired child who was still lying on the ground, "What happened? I heard you had a fight? It couldn't be with the vendor."

The red-haired child raised his head as if he wanted to answer, but the next moment, he lay down and started retching.

Seeing this, Abes became even more confused, but helpless.

He turned to Anivia and said, "We need to find out the source and cause of these bugs as soon as possible so that we can find a solution."

Anivia nodded, her eyes firm as she said, "Let me check what kind of bugs are in this vomit...eh?"

The green magic power belonging to the druid, representing nature, lit up, but the druid could not detect any life response.

"Strange, they don't seem to be alive, but..."

Shrinking her neck, Anivia didn't continue talking, and Abes immediately had an idea in his mind.

Magical bugs.

Just like the plague swarm that Anivia used at that time.

Anivia choked back the answer that was about to come out of her mouth, and then looked at Abes with a worried expression.

Maybe she was worried that she was unfamiliar with the place and if she rashly said that this thing was related to the spell she had cast before, it would cause Abes and her to fall into a crisis of trust in Carter Castle.

Since Anivia didn't say anything, Abes had no way to point it out. He just continued with a conventional train of thought, "Then we can only start with these vendors and see what they have been exposed to recently, or whether they have any common experiences."

Anivia nodded in agreement, then walked over to one of the vendors and crouched down.

The golden double helix dangled before the eyes of the vendor who was vomiting and couldn't even raise his head.

The half-elf druid asked in a natural and friendly voice, "Have you eaten anything strange recently, or come into contact with any special people or things?"

The vendor looked pale, and tried to recall, saying intermittently: "I... I don't know... Recently... I have just been doing business in the market..."

Abes frowned, an ordinary description.

He also crouched down and asked the others, but they all got the same answer.

It seems that the appearance of insects is an anecdote without a beginning?

However, Abes has some other targets to ask.

Abes walked straight to Soran, patted his shoulder, and asked anxiously, "How long have you been here? What are you doing here? Can you find commonality among them?"

Soran was startled by Abeth's pat on the shoulder. He turned around and saw that it was Abeth, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was staring at something just now, but now he was smiling.

"Master Qian Zhongzhan, after you left my residence, I came to find Ivansh...Master Ivan to discuss the reward."

"The six ogre ears can prove the merit of hunting ogres. I plan to send your portion of the bounty to them after I claim the reward."

"However, Lord Ivan has encountered some financial troubles. He is temporarily unable to take out so much money at once, so I have asked you to use the valuable part of the ogre to exchange for some money in the market."

The valuable part.

With a quick glance, Abes saw the ears and toes of the ogre from the vendors' stalls.

The ogre is a type of large giant. Although he is not an elemental giant, his ears and toes still have some basic uses.

For example, the folk beggar's version of healing potion, also known as medical medicine, is made from giant's toes, wheat ears, and swamp fungus pods.

It can strengthen life, restore life, and continuously recover endurance.

The only trouble is that it will continue to damage magic power while it is taking effect.

However, in general, the values ​​of recovery and magic damage are very small.

It was at a level that could be supported by the crude magic circuits of ordinary people, and the effect was only enough to surprise ordinary people.

However, for ordinary people who are not extraordinary people, or extraordinary people who are not spellcasters, this price is absolutely reasonable and can be easily paid.

Abes first learned about this non-magical treatment method from Matthew.

This treatment method, which was originally looked down upon by magicians, is still thriving among the people and the so-called pharmacist profession.

"So, I can give you some clues to the questions you asked, Master Qian Zhongzhan. After all, it is likely that you will have to solve them."

Abes frowned, then raised his iron gauntlet and motioned for Soran to continue.

Soran glanced at the vendors who were vomiting and whispered, "I am here to help Uncle Ivan sell these ogre materials and use the money from the transaction as a bounty. These vendors who are vomiting are the ones who accepted my ogre materials."

"Lady Anivia had used a spell that resembled a swarm of insects before... Was there some special reason that caused something to lag behind or continue, and then caused them to come into contact with the ogre materials and end up in the current situation?"
