Faced with Nok's questioning, [Ripper] decisively admitted: "Yes, I am a human being. But after encountering a curse, I will become like this at night.
But it seems that the light of the moon can restrain the curse on me. This form of me instinctively loathes the moon whenever it appears. "
"However, maybe the power of the waning moon is not enough. It just makes me who turned into a monster instinctively want to escape from it. Only on the night of the full moon can I, who turned into a monster, regain a little consciousness and reason."
After listening to [Ripper]'s words, Nok instinctively pointed out the doubts.
"But the way you look now doesn't look like you've only regained a little sense and consciousness."
[Ripper] hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took out a bright white object from under the hair on the back of his head, held it in the palm of his hand and showed it to Nok.
"It's because of this thing that I can be fully awake on full moon nights."
Although there was moonlight falling in the woods, there was still insufficient light. Nok could only see a reflective object in his hand, but he didn't know what it was.
"Illumination!"
Nok couldn't help but activate a first-level magic "Illumination".
"This! This is my dagger! Give it back to me!"
Seeing clearly that what was lying in [Ripper's] hand was his "lost" dagger, Nok wanted to snatch it back.
Unexpectedly, [Ripper] seemed to have expected it, and when Nok exclaimed, he had already retracted his hand and put the dagger back behind his head.
He refused: "Yes, this dagger is yours, but I can't give it back to you yet."
Nok roared, "This is mine!"
[Ripper] shook his head firmly: "No, it's mine now. I won't give him back to you until I return to my human form. This is a dagger made of mithril, which has the effect of destroying demons." , just enough to restrain the curse on me. Such a precious treasure must be very important to you, so help me and I will return it to you."
Nok was angry: "Are you threatening me?"
[Ripper] waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Whether you regard this as my request or as a threat, it's all the same. You are no match for me now, you can't take it from me. Besides, you just swore to help Mine, you can’t go back on your word.”
Nok was very upset because he had sworn on the Holy Lord so easily just now!
"But how do I know if you are lying to me!"
"I just want to go back to who I was. No one wants to be a murderer who takes out people's hearts."
Nok looked at the serious monster's face, hesitated again and again, and then agreed: "Okay, you tell me your situation first, and then I decide whether to help you or not."
[Ripper] said stubbornly: "No! If you don't agree to help me, I won't tell you anything about me."
Nok said unhappily: "You can't trust me? Then why don't you come to me!"
[Ripper] said: "We were enemies before. If I hadn't helped you today, you wouldn't have even planned to talk to me. How could I trust you?"
Nok scratched his silver hair frantically, thought about it seriously, and decided to risk his dagger and cooperate with the monster in front of him.
"O omniscient Lord, please forgive me for falling into the company of monsters. If it deceives me, I will definitely cut off its head with my own hands to wash away my sins."
Nok secretly repented in his heart, but he promised [Ripper].
"Okay, I promise to help you once. Tell me who you are and how you want me to help you."
[Ripper]'s eyes flickered and he did not directly answer Nok's question.
"Sorry, I can't tell you my true identity yet. Whether I want to admit it or not, I did kill many women. In order not to cause trouble to my family, my identity must be kept secret."
Tsk, Nok couldn't help but sneer in his heart: You still know that you are full of evil.
"Then let's not talk about my identity. How do you want me to help you? Help you lift the curse, or help you catch the person who put the curse on you?"
Nok didn't want to go around in circles with [The Ripper].
It was getting late, and he didn't know how long it had been since he was unconscious.
Are the children at home anxious? Have Sherlock or the Queen continued to attack the monastery?
Judging from the Queen's attitude at the time, she was determined to eradicate the monastery and send away the children.
Nok had no time to waste on [Ripper].
Seeing the impatience on Nok's face, [Ripper] said straight to the point: "I want you to help me remove the curse on me. You are the priest of the Holy Church, and your Holy Church has an ancient heritage. If we say that the city of England is now The only person who can help me the most is you."
Nok said jokingly: "You are flattering me too much. I am just an unlicensed priest, and my strength is only the first level of bronze. I am nominally a fifth-level priest, but my strength is only a fourth-level priest. class.
I neither know the seventh-level magic [Miracle Hand] nor the sixth-level [Holy Light Cleansing]. What can I do to help you lift the curse? ” (Note 1)
Nok was not trying to shirk, but he really had no choice.
If he knew the [Holy Light Cleansing] magic, and used this magic to specifically purify the abnormal condition of the target, it would be possible to break the curse and purify it.
Or learn [Miracle Hand], a magical technique that can be called a miracle. Except for being unable to bring the dead back to life, it can cure all other illnesses.
Curse should also be considered a type of illness, right? perhaps……
"No! You must have a way! It was only after I met you that I began to regain consciousness. Since you can possess the mithril dagger that can break demons, you must also have other secret treasures.
You have inherited the Monastery of Our Lady, which is the legacy of the Holy Church! There must be something in there that can help me! "
[Ripper] was very excited, opened his mouth, suppressed the volume, and roared in a low voice.
Nok rolled his eyes and was speechless.
"Do you think the monastery really has a bunch of secret treasures, and it's my turn as a nobody to inherit it? The reason why I own a mithril dagger is because it was a relic left to me by Sister Meili in the monastery."
Nok lied a little. Nok didn't want the other party to know that the dagger was related to the secret of his life experience.
Otherwise, this guy will definitely feel that he is determined to take Nok, and will make even more unreasonable demands.
"Sister Mellie?"
[Ripper] used his vague memory to remember the meaning of this name.
The image of an old lady standing majestically on the clock of the City of England, looking down at countless strong men of the Natural Church, came to mind.
[Ripper] couldn't help but shiver.
If it was that person's relic, this would make sense.
"No! Even if you didn't inherit any treasure, your Holy Church, as the oldest force in England, must have recorded a way to lift the curse!"
Okay, Nock has to admit this, [Ripper] is right.
Although the glorious period when the Holy Church dominated the continent only lasted for a thousand years, it was founded in ancient times and was one of the earliest sects to believe in gods.
The Natural Church is developing rapidly in the Lion Heart Kingdom, but it has no historical foundation.
Not even as good as those small but long-standing small sects. Such as Zoroastrianism, Lunar Worship, etc.
Therefore, the Holy Church, a force with a long history, must have rich historical documents.
Nok was not sure whether the documents in the study room of the small building contained any method to break the curse.
"I can check it for you, but I can't guarantee it. You should know that the monastery now is not as good as the monastery back then. If there are any valuable documents, it is estimated that the cardinals took them with them when they evacuated England."
[Ripper] finally listened to Nok's words.
I also know that what Nock said is true. After all, [The Ripper] himself also experienced that era and witnessed the rise and fall of the Holy Church in England.
"Even if you can't find a way in the monastery's literature, you still have to try to help me break the curse. The magic of your holy church is known as the nemesis of all dark forces. Maybe if you try a few more times, you can help me break the curse. It’s cursed!”
Understanding is understanding, but [Ripper] will not let Nok get rid of him with just one sentence.
Otherwise, when the time comes, Nok will say lightly: "Sorry, I looked through the records, and there is no way to remove the curse."
How does it know if it's true or false? What if Nok just wanted to deceive it from beginning to end?
What these priests like most is not to preach the mercy of the Holy Lord, but to spread the brilliance of the Holy Lord!
Well, spread the light of the Holy Lord to the creatures of darkness.
Commonly known as: Exorcism!
"Okay, if you don't believe me, then try it for yourself. Anyway, I can still cast two third-level magic spells - Circle of Healing."
Seeing Nok making a casting gesture, waiting for [Ripper] to agree before taking action, [Ripper] fell silent.
It was afraid that Nok was plotting against it, so it hesitated.
It hesitated for a long time, and finally its desire to restore its original appearance triumphed over its fear.
"Okay, give it a try and see if it works. But I warn you not to play tricks, otherwise I won't be polite."
Nok said coldly: "Don't give it a try! Do you think I want to waste my power? Who knows whether healing magic will work on you!"
Seeing that Nok was angry, [Ripper] apologized quickly.
The only support it had was possessing Nok's mithril dagger.
If Nok gets angry and wants to snatch it, there is nothing he can do.
After killing Nok, it can't find anyone to help it.
And whether to kill or not is another matter.
But Nok didn't have so many worries. If the noise between the two of them was too loud and attracted people to attack, it would be dead.
After all it is a monster now! Nok is human! British professionals use their knees to figure out who they will help!
"bring it on!"
[Ripper] stood in front of Nok with an attitude of resignation.
"Wait! Stay back and don't get so close to me. If you have a bad reaction to the magic and overreact and attack me, my death will be in vain!"
Nok's sudden dislike made [Ripper] feel aggrieved, but Nok had a point.
So, [Ripper] stepped back two meters.
"Circle of Healing!"
Nok activated his divine spell on the prepared [Ripper], and a halo composed of healing spells wrapped around [Ripper]'s waist. The light from the halo flew towards [Ripper] desperately.
"Ahhh!" [Ripper] let out a low cry of pain, and even knelt down on the ground, beating the ground with his hands.
"Stop! Stop! It hurts!"
[Ripper] gritted his teeth and twisted his face to call Nok to stop.
Nok dispelled the [Healing Aura] and said with a bit of regret: "Unfortunately, it seems that it didn't work."
Nok said he was sorry, but he was happy in his heart: It turns out that healing magic is more effective for this guy than attack magic!
[Ripper] ignored Nok. At this time, it only had fear of Nok in its heart.
Unexpectedly, divine magic restrained it so much, and the heartbreaking pain was a hundred times more uncomfortable than being stabbed by a mithril dagger!
"Do you still want to try? I also have a detoxification magic. Although it is only a second-level magic, it may be useful."
Nok's words scared [Ripper] and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! I'm leaving."
Nok was surprised: "So fast?"
[Ripper] stood up, stared at Nok, and said: "It's almost dawn, I feel that my consciousness has begun to blur, and it's time to leave."
Nok responded calmly: "Oh."
[Ripper] didn't pay attention to Nok's indifference, turned around and jumped to the top of the tree with a few leaps, then suddenly stabilized his body, left a message to Nok, and then disappeared into the night.
"Nock Lane, be careful with women, they are the best at lying. Don't be complacent after suffering a loss!"
