Who wants to learn sewing skills while dating?

"Lord Tiberius, can our curse really be lifted?" A little orc who was being examined looked at the blue-haired old man in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

After all, the lifespan of orcs is only a few decades, and this curse has been with them for several generations. When they were suddenly told that it could be lifted, the orcs found it a bit fantastical.

"Of course, I've come across ancient books about this type of curse before. This curse isn't the most complicated kind. As long as I prepare the necessary items, I can lift it."

The orcs were so excited when they received the confirmation that their ears perked up. "Thank you so much!"

The curse that had troubled the orc for half his life could be lifted. What else did he want? He was already very satisfied.

Thinking of the suffering he had endured before, tears welled up in the little rabbit's eyes and he was about to cry with his ears drooping.

Tiberius was at his wit's end with the crying child, so he took out a coral fork and gave it to the little rabbit: "This is the amulet of our mermaid tribe. Wear it with you, and your luck will surely be better in the future."

The little rabbit took the coral lovingly and nodded firmly: "Yes!"

After a few more days, Tiberius gradually became familiar with the orcs. Some of the outgoing children liked to gather around Tiberius. They did not disturb Tiberius's studies, but just watched quietly and learned hard.

Tiberius looked at the curious eyes of these half-grown children and began to tell them about the knowledge of spells without hiding anything.

"Spells are primarily powered by mana, which can come from many sources. Strong emotions or natural elements can all be transformed into mana to support the caster in completing the spell."

"The effects of spells vary. They can be offensive, defensive, or auxiliary. They can be thought of as similar to elven magic, but while magic relies on talent, spells rely more on the caster's accumulated knowledge. Some advanced spells can even alter physical reality, such as summoning creatures, manipulating time, or shifting space. This is the curse that has been placed upon you."

"However, these kinds of advanced spells are generally forbidden, and there is a price to pay when performing them."

"Price?" a child asked in confusion.

"Yes. For example, the wizard who casts a curse on you orcs will lose his own life as the price of the curse," Tiberius said patiently.

"Then why would he risk his own life to harm us?" The little rabbit felt a little sad. What had they, the orcs, done to deserve such a curse?

"Perhaps... even the caster didn't expect to lose his life. He probably didn't expect the curse he cast would be so powerful." Tiberius could only think of this. The wizard was a selfish guy. How could he sacrifice his life for a curse? It was ridiculous.

"Hmph!" No matter what, the orcs would never forgive the wizard.

Other children questioned, "So the only price you're talking about is your own life?"

"No, to be precise, what is lost is the most important thing for the caster," Tiberius explained.

"The most important thing?" Children cannot understand what the most important thing is. Is there anything else besides life?

"Yes, it could be his most valued ability, or perhaps a treasured item, or even a memory... Of course, for most people, the most important thing is their life. Equivalent exchange is the law of cause and effect in terms of magic."

"It seems the world is fair to everyone." The children nodded, seeming to understand. To gain something, you need to pay something. Spells treat everyone equally.

"Yes, no one can escape cause and effect, not even the gods."

Because they had to search for clues about the things taken away by the human race in the forbidden area, and there were so many books in this study, Chu Jun decided to stay here for a few more days and find as many clues as possible.

Probably due to Chu Jun's indulgence on the day he first arrived at the forbidden area, Mo Heng now has no peace for a single day. After a while, he needs Chu Jun's coaxing before he can help him find things.

"Ah Heng, stop messing around. I've been reading this book for three days and I haven't finished it yet..." Before Chu Jun could finish her words, Mo Heng snatched the book from her hand.

Mo Heng sat cross-legged on the ground, put his arms around Chu Yun's waist and made him sit in his arms with his back against his chest: "Baby, don't I look better? Look at me! Look at me!"

Chu Jun was so annoyed by Mo Heng that she could only offer him a kiss to comfort him. This should give her an hour of peace.

After being comforted by the kiss, Mo Heng indeed felt much better. He put his head on Chu Yun's shoulder and read a book with Chu Yun, his hands not letting go.

Chu Jun quickly finished flipping through the book in his hand, and then noticed that the next book was a little strange.

I picked it up and weighed it, and found that the texture of the book cover was obviously much better than before. The cover was well preserved, and it could be seen that the owner took great care of it.

Chu Jun thought that this book must be something very important to its owner, but when he opened it, what he saw was a "painting" with very messy lines.

It was painted with the child's favorite oil pastels. The brushstrokes are not heavy and the lines are a little shaky. You can tell that it was painted by a very young child.

"What an ugly painting." For some reason, Chu Jun smiled and sighed when he saw the painting.

"Hmm?" Mo Heng had been resting with his eyes closed, but when he heard that, he opened his eyes and saw the graffiti on Chu Jun's hand.

This time, Mo Heng rarely disagreed: "I think this painting is quite cute."

"Really?" Chu Jun doubted himself a little and picked it up to take a closer look.

"Yes." Mo Heng nodded firmly, "It's the most beautiful painting I've ever seen."

Chu Jun felt inexplicably in a very good mood and smiled.

He flipped through the graffiti book from beginning to end and confirmed that there was nothing important in it. It was just a child's sketchbook, probably left by the child of the previous owner of this place.

Chu Jun suddenly became curious about who had lived here before. Could it really be a god? But what kind of god would take care of a child? How strange! Didn't everyone grow up alone?

A week later, Chu Jun found several more books of graffiti, and then took them all away.

They are just some children's stuff, they shouldn't affect the world.

"Did Ah Heng find any clues?"

Chu Yun and Mo Heng had almost finished reading all the books, but still couldn't find anything relevant.

This time, Mo Heng brought good news: "Baby, maybe it's because of this?"

"Hmm?" Chu Jun looked at the book opened in Mo Heng's hand.

"Blood sacrifice?" Although Chu Jun didn't know what the sacrifices in this world were like, it should be the same as the sacrifices he had encountered before.

"The blood of some people with special bloodlines can serve as a medium, allowing people to temporarily gain the power of gods. This sentence really touches the hearts of the human race, doesn't it?" Mo Heng said with a contemptuous smile, showing his disdain for the human race.

"Indeed..." Chu Jun could not deny it.

The human race desires power, but not everyone has the strong core to master this power. This is not just true for the human race, but for everyone.

The human nobles from Seraphim had gained the ability to temporarily rival the gods. Would they not be tempted? Chu Jun didn't believe it.

In addition to what we saw before, the Wukong City with a black hole appeared.

"Let's go to Wuqiong City." Chu Jun decided.

The two have been here for a month and it's time to leave.

Mo Heng wanted to do something before leaving: "Baby..."

"No! I have important things to do!" Chu Jun refused firmly.

"Okay." Mo Heng backed down immediately.

He could only suppress the panic in his heart. Ever since entering this space, Mo Heng began to have a vague sense of panic, as if Chu Jun would leave him at any time.

This is also the reason why he harassed Chu Yun every now and then.

But now that the two of them were about to leave, the uneasiness in Mo Heng's heart began to gradually disappear.
