When the city lord's mansion is upgraded, it will be a comprehensive improvement for the lord's small building.

Not only the appearance and area have been upgraded, but also the interior decoration and furniture have been significantly improved.

For example, this big bed is not only soft and comfortable, but also very strong and spacious.

If he fights with Luna again, he will never make a "crunching", "crunching" sound.

Very suitable for well drilling operations.

Zong Shen lay on the bed, slowly turned around, and lay directly on the bed.

It's only around ten o'clock in the evening, and this is definitely the earliest sleep he's had since landing.

Today I completed the territory expansion, raised the territory to the eighth level, and successfully reached the first place in the [Territory Level Ranking].

Then he robbed a secret supply point of the Calamity Raven Church and obtained a lot of weapons and rations. In the afternoon, he hunted down the crypt monsters until the evening.

I say busy, but when I think about it, it doesn’t seem too busy.

Even if I am not busy, lining up every task is indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Zong Shen was very tired, but he was a little unaccustomed to it. He always felt a pity to go to bed so early, and always wanted to do something big!

He lay on the bed, thinking about it, and suddenly thought of something.

He turned over suddenly, kicked off his combat boots, and sat directly on the bed.

With a flick of his wrist, he took out a rag doll.

The doll is a bit old, covered in stains, and the eyes sewn on the buttons look a bit weird.

The weirdest thing is that the doll's mouth has a cross sewn directly out of the black thread.

Like a silent protester who wants to say something but can't say it.

Yes, this is the [cursed doll] that Zong Shen got from Hideki Mitani before. According to the guide, this doll has a resentful spirit attached to it.

Every day at three o'clock in the middle of the night, the evil spirit will appear and reveal some secrets about the Bone Burial Ground.

Tonight, Zong Shen was going to explore the secret behind this doll.

It was very quiet outside the window, the moonlit night was silent, and the farmers and kobolds had rested early.

Except for the mages who went to the [Magic Hall] to meditate and practice, all the soldiers in the exploration team had rested, so the surroundings seemed very quiet.

Only the occasional sound of arrow towers firing and the trampling of wolf cavalry passing by the outer perimeter of the city wall could be faintly transmitted into the lord's small building.

The silver moonlight shone into the room and reflected on this strange rag doll. Between the changes in light and shadow, Zong Shen seemed to see a boy's face on the doll's face.

Just a startling glance made Zong Shen break into a cold sweat.

That face is almost entangled in my mind, and I can't get rid of it.

The boy had blond hair, white skin, his eyes were closed tightly, and drops of blood were seeping out from the corners of his eyes. His mouth was sewn shut, making it look like an X. His expression was horrified and resentful.

Just by looking at you, you can feel that there is some extremely vicious curse hidden in it.

That's right, the boy himself is the medium of a curse. In other words, the curse uses his body and life as the driving force.

"I did it, it's so evil."

Zong Shen cursed and threw the doll aside.

I wish I could take out my Dragon-Slaying Heavy Sword and cut this thing in half.

"Let this thing stay in the room until three o'clock in the morning..."

"No, I have to call someone over!"

Zong Shen looked at the doll and shook his head violently.

This rag doll is so scary that Zong Shen definitely doesn't want to stay alone with it until three in the morning.

He must find someone to accompany him.

He jumped out of the big bed, put on his combat boots, grabbed the rag doll and ran for a while.

Luna didn't rest, she was sensing and absorbing the power of the moonlight outside the small courtyard.

This is her way of cultivation. By swallowing moonlight, her experience points can slowly increase.

Over time, you can rely on swallowing moonlight to upgrade. This is also one of the Night Huntress's unique upgrade methods. When swallowing moonlight, you can also restore your energy, which is much better than simply sleeping.

Zong Shen grabbed the cursed doll and ran out of the lord's small building in a hurry. When he came to Luna, he gently pulled her arm as smooth as a lotus root.

"Luna, come with me to the [Magic Palace]!"

Zong Shen shouted quickly while running towards the [Magic Palace].

Next to Luna, Black Panther was sleeping lazily, but was woken up by Zong Shen, and let out a slight whistle in dissatisfaction.

Luna was also a little confused. She lowered her head and looked at the arm that Zong Shen had just grabbed. A black palm mark rose up with vicious black smoke under the light of the moonlight. It made a "sizzling" sound in the moonlight and finally gradually faded away.

Obliterated by the moonlight.

"My lord's hand..."

"What an evil curse!"

Luna exclaimed and hurriedly chased after him, following Zong Shen's steps and entering the [Magic Palace] one after another.

At this time, Zong Shen had awakened all the meditating mages.

Mages including Tasia, Aysia, Milani, and Favid surrounded Zong Shen in the middle.

They were looking at the [Cursed Doll] in Zong Shen's hand and talking about it.

Among them, Necromancer Tasia looked particularly seriously, her eyes almost unable to move away from the doll.

Obviously among the mages of these series, the necromancer has the absolute say in terms of [Cursed Doll]. This thing is related to things like dead souls at first glance, and the necromancer happens to be studying this aspect.

.

"Um...sir..."

"If I were you, I would definitely not run around with this in my hand."

"This is a wraith doll cursed by an evil spirit. Its essence is just a cursed little wraith."

"It is the person being cursed, and it is the curse itself."

"Only by unraveling its resentment layer by layer can we discover the evil spirit that cursed it."

Tasia said in a very fast tone, sometimes a resentful spirit, sometimes an evil spirit, which made Zong Shen's head grow bigger.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

"Let me put it into perspective, are you saying that the doll itself is a victim of a curse?"

"I turned into a rag doll because I was cursed by an evil spirit?"

"Because the resentment is too deep, this doll has become a resentful spirit again?"

"Is that what you mean?"

Zong Shen sorted out his thoughts and probably knew something, but there were some doubts he didn't understand.

Tasia nodded, indicating that what Zong Shen said was absolutely correct.

Then Zong Shen raised his doubts.

"Then why did the evil spirit curse it?"

Tasia's answer was simple.

"have no idea……"

"But this cursed ragdoll should know something."

"It's probably another tragic past event."

"Since you said that this resentful spirit will appear every midnight, then we can just wait for it to appear."

"Just put the doll here. There are still five or six hours left. You can go find a meditation room and take a nap. We will keep an eye on the time."

"With this mage here, all evil spirits must be kept in check."

Tasia patted her chest, making the robe on her body tremble.

Zong Shen nodded, this was a good suggestion.

Then he turned to Luna and said.

"Luna, come and stay with me."

"It's not because of fear, it's simply because I might need to leave the territory when the time comes."

"I need some elite warriors with high mobility..."

Luna heard a warm smile on her face.

"Everything must be obeyed by the master."

She patted the black panther on the head and asked him to wait outside the [Magic Palace].
