Chapter 246 The Truth of the Curse
In that ancient and mysterious country, the princess is like a beautiful rose blooming among thorns, tenacious and persistent. For many days, she has been working tirelessly in the maze of ancient legends and obscure clues, just to uncover the mystery of the curse that shrouds the entire country like a haze.
The princess's beautiful face now looked a little haggard, but the determined light in her eyes had never dimmed, instead, she was burning with a fiery desire for the truth. She was wearing a gorgeous but slightly old dress, and the hem of her dress swayed with her hurried and hurried steps, as if telling the story of this difficult journey. Every morning when the dawn was just breaking, she was full of hope and courage, and she set out on the journey of exploration without hesitation; every evening when the sunset was in the sky, she returned with heavy steps, exhausted and full of unyielding spirit.
This country was once a prosperous paradise. The temples were towering, like giants standing between heaven and earth, sacred and solemn. The light of the gods was like warm sunshine, shining on every corner of the earth. People lived and worked in peace and contentment in this peaceful atmosphere, and their lives were full of laughter, joy, warmth and sweetness. However, in a dark moment many years ago, a sudden and terrible accident, like a ruthless storm, instantly turned all this beauty into nothing.
An evil wizard, whose heart was burned by the fire of jealousy, watched the splendor of the temple and the supreme prestige enjoyed by the gods, and his twisted mind was completely devoured by dark desires. His eyes full of resentment and malice seemed to be able to penetrate time and space, cursing all these beautiful things into an endless abyss of suffering.
Since the terrible curse came, diseases have spread like a demon among the people. The crops that were once full of vitality withered and died in an instant. Various disasters have frequently befallen this unfortunate land. People's lives have since fallen into endless fear and despair. The happy smiles that once filled their faces have now been replaced by painful groans and helpless tears. The princess looked at her people who had suffered so much, and her heart was as if pierced by thousands of arrows. She was heartbroken. She made a rock-hard oath in her heart that she would find a way to lift the curse and save this country in dire straits, even if it cost her anything.
The princess's journey of exploration was full of thorns and bumps. She buried her head in the mountains of ancient books that exuded an old atmosphere. Those yellowed and fragile pages seemed to be the narrators of time. Every blurred character was like a mysterious puzzle, waiting for her to solve one by one with her clever mind and incomparable patience. She worked tirelessly to visit one after another of the elderly and experienced wise men, like a devout student, quietly listening to the ancient legends and those obscure and difficult to find mysterious clues passed down from their mouths. Sometimes, she would wander alone in the desolate and bleak ruins for a long time, using her keen eyes to try to find the precious truth deeply buried by time from those broken walls.
During this long and arduous process, the princess had fallen into extremely dangerous situations many times. Once, she accidentally got lost in a gloomy and terrifying forest. The strange and misty fog filled the air, making people feel like they were in an illusory dream. From time to time, creepy sounds came, as if monsters hidden in the darkness were roaring in a low voice. But the faith in her heart, like a beacon, always illuminated her way forward, allowing her to rely on her tenacious will and finally successfully get rid of the predicament. Another time, she encountered a group of vicious robbers. Their greedy eyes stared at the precious items on the princess, trying to rob them. However, the princess was not afraid of danger. With the superb swordsmanship she had practiced since childhood and her extraordinary fearless courage, she successfully repelled the robbers in a fierce fight and defended her dignity and mission.
After countless days and nights of unremitting efforts, the princess finally found a clue that was as important as dawn by chance. This clue, like a mysterious thread, led her to the hidden basement of the temple. It was a corner that had been forgotten by time for a long time, dark and damp, filled with a smell of decay and decay. The princess walked down the narrow and steep stairs carefully, the torch in her hand swaying in the darkness, the weak light trying to illuminate the unknown road ahead.
In the basement, there were piles of debris and spider webs, like a huge web, which seemed to be trying its best to block the princess's progress. But the princess had no intention of retreating. She bravely waved the sword in her hand, cut off the obstacles in front of her, and moved forward step by step. In the deepest part of the basement, the princess finally found the mysterious magic weapon that had been hidden for a long time.
The magic weapon exuded a strange and frightening light, and the air around it seemed to be distorted by its powerful force. It had a strange and bizarre shape, inlaid with gems that exuded mysterious light, and engraved with complex and difficult to understand runes like a maze. The princess stared at the magic weapon, and an inexplicable fear surged in her heart, but she knew that this was the key to lifting the curse.
Just as the princess stretched out her hand to gently touch the magic weapon, suddenly, an extremely strong mysterious force pushed her back like a surging wave. Her body fell heavily on the cold and hard ground, and the torch in her hand went out. Darkness suddenly surged like a tide, completely engulfing the entire basement, and the princess suddenly felt an invisible huge pressure overwhelming her.
“Hahahaha…” A sinister, creepy laugh suddenly sounded in the endless darkness. “Foolish princess, are you so naive to think that you can destroy my magic weapon so easily and lift this powerful curse?”
The princess endured the pain in her body, stood up quickly, and responded loudly without fear: "You extremely evil wizard, your vicious curse has brought endless suffering and torture to this country. Today, I will completely remove it no matter what!"
"Hmph, you're just a weak girl like you?" The wizard's voice was filled with extreme disdain and ridicule. "This magic weapon contains extremely powerful power that is beyond your imagination. You are simply vulnerable in front of it."
The princess took a deep breath, her eyes were as firm as iron, and she said in a resolute tone: "I am not afraid at all. For my people to regain happiness and for this land to regain its former vitality, I am willing to pay any price, even my life!"
After saying that, the princess once again walked towards the magic weapon without hesitation. This time, she concentrated all her mental strength and stubbornly resisted the invisible pressure that almost suffocated her. When her slender fingers finally touched the magic weapon, an unbearable electric current instantly spread throughout her body, and every inch of her skin seemed to be burned by fire. But the princess gritted her teeth, held the magic weapon tightly, and refused to let go.
At the critical moment when the princess and the magic weapon were in a stalemate, suddenly, a dazzling light fell from the sky like a sword, instantly illuminating the entire dark basement. It turned out that the gods felt the princess's unwavering faith and fearless courage and came to help.
Under the divine light, the princess felt the heavy pressure on her body suddenly lightened. She used all her strength to pull the magic weapon out from the solid base. The magic weapon trembled violently in her hand, as if it had life, desperately trying to break free from her control.
The princess held the magic weapon tightly and prayed silently in her heart: "Great God, please grant me endless power so that I can destroy this extremely evil thing and save my beloved country and people."
As if hearing the princess' sincere prayers from deep within her heart, the light of the god became stronger and brighter. The princess raised the magic weapon high in the air, and with all her strength, she threw it hard to the ground.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, like thunder exploding in the ears, the magic weapon shattered instantly, turning into countless tiny fragments. A thick black smoke rose from the fragments, twisting wildly in the air, and then gradually dissipated without a trace.
As the magic weapon was completely destroyed, the evil power of the curse began to recede like a tide. The princess felt an unprecedented sense of relief in her body, and she knew clearly that she had succeeded.
When the princess walked out of the basement with firm steps, the warm and gentle sunlight fell on her like a golden veil. She looked far away and saw that the long-lost prosperous scene was slowly recovering bit by bit. In the vast fields, the green crops were full of vitality again; people's faces were once again filled with bright smiles of happiness and satisfaction.
