After walking south for two days from the Principality of Brodan, the climate gradually became warmer and wetter. Although it was still winter, the temperature here was no longer very cold.

The strange climate in Ork made Jaina, who was holding little Sylvie and hiding in the carriage looking out, feel speechless for a while.

"It's Affinetti Forest~"

Aware of her thoughts, our Mr. Pele also began to show his wealth of knowledge.

"Also called the Elf Forest, it is a primeval forest located in the southernmost part of the Klea Alliance. It is an area of ​​​​larger than the Klea Alliance.

Legend has it that the place is blessed by the forest goddess, and it is like spring all year round without severe cold.

The south of the Klea Alliance is close to the edge of the Affinetti Forest, so it is so warm here."

Beler's textbook-like explanation did not surprise Jaina.

But when she heard the words Affineti Forest and Forest Goddess, she was very tempted.

The name Affineti Forest was first heard from the dwarf Riggins of the Gust Province, and it was the replica of the Affineti full-body armor she wore.

But the Forest Goddess...

"Psychic power: 743, magic value: 7130"

From the Grand Canyon to the Orc Forest, from the Plains Plains to the Black Forest, Jaina took action several times in a few months.

Under the passive influence of the Goddess of Destiny, she would directly receive spiritual blessings every time she emptied the magic element. But even so, after training to 690 points, she still fainted more than twenty times.

After taking advantage of the Passivity of the Flame Goddess and taking Feile as a subordinate, Feile was directly promoted to the Great Mage, and she unexpectedly received 10% of the mental power blessing of her subordinates. But while this surprised her, she did not

Brings too many surprises.

Because another serious problem appeared in front of her again...

"Miss, it's not far ahead!"

Seeing that Gianna was a little dazed, the middle-aged man in the carriage who issued the mission whispered a reminder.

"Oh? Is it finally almost here?"

After eating and drinking, she gently placed little Sylvie, who was sleeping like a little hamster, on the seat beside her. Jaina sighed leisurely.

After being depressed for a long time, she stretched out out of boredom, and then looked out the window again.

There are some cold-resistant weeds growing in the abandoned farmland, crooked farmhouses, dilapidated paths, and everything is devastated...

Like other places in the Klea Alliance, this place has also suffered from the influence of curses and black magicians, but because it is located on the border of the alliance, it seems to be more serious...

The border villages of the Klia Alliance were attacked by black magicians, and many villages were massacred.

And it was the seriously injured middle-aged man and his team in the car who took over this top-level black iron-level extermination mission.

The captain of a high-level warrior and ten intermediate companions can only be ranked in the middle and lower reaches among many adventurer teams. But there should be no problem in dealing with a black iron-level mission.

But it's just like the situation when Jaina dealt with the orc forest.

This team, including the Adventurers Guild, underestimated the difficulty of this mission.

A high-level black magician, countless walking corpses...

As soon as the team entered their destination, they were surrounded and suppressed. This was the excuse given by the seriously injured middle-aged man...

Of course, seeing his twinkling eyes and vague description, Jaina smiled.

But one thing Jaina was sure of was that the magician should be a curse master at the level of a great magician.

Because the ominous aura wrapped under the gauze of the seriously injured man could not block Jaina's perception!

…

…

There were no hordes of zombies, not even a single corpse...

The low and damaged houses, the broken walls covered in blood, the black mist that filled the air, and the ominous aura that made people shiver...

Walking into the village that the middle-aged man was talking about, Feile and others all shuddered.

"There seems to be no breath of living people here. Are you sure all your teammates are still alive?"

At the front of the team, Feile frowned and turned back to ask the middle-aged man.

"Just... right in front, almost there!"

He gritted his teeth and was trembling all over. Bean-sized beads of sweat kept falling down his somewhat gloomy face.

"It's an old injury. My injury has recurred, but it doesn't matter!"

Sensing the strange looks in Feile and Kohler's eyes, he braced himself.

"The curse, however, seems to be chronic!

Although I can’t kill him right away, I’m almost at the point where I can’t hold on any longer!”

Jaina's voice came slowly, her tone a little cold.

And after hearing her words, the man's body suddenly trembled...

"This... is just a minor injury, not..."

He was trying to justify something.

But Gianna didn't care about that, but walked directly past him and walked towards a relatively larger courtyard in front...

"It's over there, this unknown magic element...

He should be a great magician, but is he really a curser?"

She muttered to herself, then licked her lips, narrowed her eyes slightly, and walked towards the courtyard with joy.

Feile and Kohler followed her silently, and the middle-aged man followed her quickly after being stunned for a while.

…

Collapsed wall, three wooden houses.

After Jaina walked into the yard, she suddenly stood still.

"The fish you want has been hooked!

Why do you become so cautious when it’s time to close the net~"

The soft words contained a hint of mockery, and as the words fell...

"Squeak..."

The dilapidated wooden door was gently pushed open from the inside...

An attractive woman in her thirties slowly walked out.

Even the wide black magic robe could not hide the plump figure, the smooth skin like a baby, the charming smile at the corner of the mouth...

There was no ominous aura similar to Luca's, and there was no magic fluctuation that made Gianna hate it, but her strength as a great magician made Feile and others look solemn.

Jaina frowned slightly and looked doubtfully at the house behind her that still exuded an ominous aura.

It can be seen that the middle-aged man who issued the mission and led the way for Jaina suddenly became excited when he saw this woman's appearance...

"I... brought someone here, as agreed!

Antidote, the antidote to the curse!

I can’t hold on any longer!”

He suddenly ran over, knelt down and hugged the woman's legs, begging in a humble tone.

And as he begged, under the gauze wrapping his body wounds, streams of black mist spread out like thick smoke...

"But...it's a little late~"

Seeing this, the woman shook her head, her sexy red lips curled up to her ears...

"You are very sincere. Although this is based on your cowardice and fear of death, at least you are more useful than your companions who are stubbornly resisting.

But it's too late now, the potion to suppress your curse is far more valuable than you are.

So, go and reunite with those companions who were betrayed by you~"

She suddenly laughed, smiling very happily.

Along with her laughter, the middle-aged man's body slowly fell down.
