The priest they were waiting for was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a brown robe made of coarse cloth, and his chest was embroidered with a rising sun pattern. A senior priest, Leo saw his rank, and the second was indeed greater than the first. He had short hair and his beard shaved cleanly, like a hairless eunuch. He was holding an Andal sacred book under his armpit, and followed Lu Yuewu without squinting.

"I am good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, so the Bishop specially sent me here." His tone was neither humble nor arrogant, but it made Li Ou feel natural. "Sir, where is the patient? If you are in a severe illness, you cannot delay any minute."

He was calm and spoke clearly. This man had a lot of knowledge. That's good. An experienced old pastor is always better than a young man. He thought so and turned around and led the way, "Please come with me, Lord Pastor."

The priest carefully examined the black widow lying on the stage, and then raised his head. "Sir, this lady's breath is weak and her body has become stranger than ordinary people. I'm afraid she has caused evil things. I'm afraid she has not had enough time. Even healing spells cannot heal her, at most..." The priest stuttered, "I can only try my best to save her lost life and make her live longer."

"We all know," said Leo. "I am an alchemist, and she is a mage. We all know something. But treatment is not our strength. Please come here, just to ask you to help find out the cause, so that she can suffer less for the rest of her life, and relieve her illness."

The priest nodded, and he opened the sacred scriptures in his hand, recited the prayer and cast the spell.

His voice was loud and pious, and his face was solemn and quiet. A ray of blazing white and warm light fell from the air and fell on the black widow, flowing through her body like flowing water, wrapping her in the wings of a holy light.

But the holy light seemed to not soothe the fear of the spellcaster. The middle-aged priest looked pale, his lips kept shaking, and his hands holding the scriptures could hardly grasp the thick sacred scripture. "Black magic, again black magic." He whispered. It took him a while to slowly come back to his senses, looking at them who were not panicked and afraid, "You already know."

Li Ou nodded, "We just checked before you come, but we dared not draw conclusions. After all, the black magic has not appeared for hundreds of years."

"Hundreds of years? How many hundred years?" The middle-aged priest took out a towel and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead. "It has always existed and never died." They are like mice underground? And you are white cats? Leo did not answer the conversation. The priest silently recited the prayer to the gods, and received comfort from the lines. His faith quickly restored his previous peace, although there was still panic in his eyes.

"The black magic cannot be cured." The priest said helplessly, "Please forgive me for being powerless."

"Is there no way to make her feel better?" Lu Yuewu asked.

"There are some ways...but...but I don't know if it works." The priest stammered, "I...I haven't met anyone who has been infected with the black magic these days and is still alive...I have no experience with this. The healing spell may kill her."

"These days?" Li Ou was extremely surprised. "Are there anyone else who has suffered this kind of disaster these days?"

The pastor knew that he had made a mistake, and he smiled bitterly, "Is there a chair for me to sit?" Li Ou led him to the living room and poured him a glass of water. He took a sip, "Since you understand the cause of the disease, I must also understand how serious the situation is. I don't hide it from you either - in fact, it won't be long for me." The pastor sighed.

"Who are there some people?" Rosie has never been patient, "An elderly vegetable seller and dead fishmonger?"

"You guessed it, Miss Mage." The priest's face was filled with self-blame and guilt. The doctor's nature made him extremely painful. "There are also drunks who don't return home in the middle of the night and lovers. They are all dead, and no one is still alive." He raised his head and looked at the attic, "But why is she still alive? It's so strange, it's simply too strange."

"Nothing is strange, there is something to protect her." Rosie suddenly stopped and looked back at Leo, "Why do you look at me like this? I am a wizard, not an alchemist who knows little about magic! She has a talisman on her body, hidden close to her body."

So that's it. Leo decided to study it carefully later. At this moment, he thought of what the old woman said, "Prince, do those who have died die at night?"

The priest moved his body in the chair uneasily, and he looked back at the darkening sky outside the window. "Yes, that's the case now. But in the future... who can guess it correctly? Maybe after tonight, he will fall to the ground and die for no reason in broad daylight."

"From your perspective, will the black dawn be the initiator?"

"Maybe, maybe not." The pastor thought for a moment, "as far as I am concerned, I tend to be something else. 'White and transparent, like fog and like yarn.' This is how the citizens describe it."

After sending off the priest who rushed back to the temple, Leo and the two girls returned to the attic. He carefully pulled out the amulet from her clothes and held it in his palm to look carefully. This was a crescent-shaped amulet with mitral mixed with black steel, which was carved on it with the goddess of legendary China and America and wisdom. She had an olive branch on her head, but she held the sword in her hand. He stared at the amulet, and the familiar technique stirred up storm in his heart.

This was done by my father! "I have to wake her up." Li Ou said firmly. He couldn't wait, and kept preparing the potion he was about to use, and suddenly turned around, "Don't take it off!" He reminded Rosie sternly.

"What a crazy thing! You don't need to remind me."

"She will suffer severe pain when she wakes up. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I can only delay her death and make her less painful. But I still have to wake her up."

"Why?"

"I have to do this. Because she has something to do with my father. She is Selena...Auntie."

When the brown potion slowly dripped into the black widow's mouth, Leo couldn't help but clenched her fists and held her breath. The potion slowly took effect. Leo felt her breathing gradually become stronger, and her eyes began to turn under her eyelids. It seemed that after a long time, Black widow finally opened her eyes. She looked at Leo, opened her mouth, and shouted hoarsely and in disbelief, "Leo?"

"I'm here." He squatted down beside the bed and grabbed her hand tightly, "Auntie Selena, are you okay?"

"Do you remember me?" she said weakly, "In the blink of an eye, you have looked exactly like your father in the past few years."

"Li Ou, do we need to avoid it?" Lu Yuewu asked.

"No, I can't hide it from you forever. You guys are here."

"I don't know them." The scar on her face was twisted, but her smile was so beautiful. "I shouldn't have left angry at that time, but I didn't even see your father for the last time, and I couldn't take good care of you and your mother."

"Let it go over what was past," said Leo, "You need a good rest now."

"Well, that's fine. The ocean makes me sting all over my body, maybe I'll get better after a night's sleep." Her voice trembled, grabbed Leo's hand tightly, and her fingernails were deeply embedded in his palm. She was enduring great pain. "Can you call Barode when I'm asleep?" She forced herself to let go of her hand and said with a squint.

Barold rushed into the room in a hurry, climbed up the stairs with his short legs, and kicked open the door. "Where is Selena?" he asked loudly.

Leo covered his mouth, "Auntie Selena is asleep. Don't wake her up." He pulled the dwarf to sit down at the other end of the room, "You turned me into such a big circle and asked me to go to sea with Sinshak's boat, just to let me meet Auntie Selena?"

"Yes." The dwarf replied in a muffled voice.

"Then why don't you just say it?"

"She asked for it. She has always felt guilty about leaving you before. She said she just wanted to see you and see how you are now, and she dare not ask for anything else. And..."

"And what?" Balod looked puzzled, and Leo suddenly lost his patience. "Dwarfs are straightforward, when will they become like humans hesitant and look back?"

Barod glanced at Selena who was sleeping, and sighed with a heavy expression, "She said she has become the pirate leader, and her throne is already unstable. She doesn't want to cause you trouble."

"Now is the biggest trouble!" Li Ou roared in a low voice, "I would rather face the hundreds of fully armed Leo Islanders and the elusive ghost ship than see Aunt Selena like this now."

"What's wrong with her? Miss Dongfang said something to me, but I didn't listen to a word."

Li Ou said dryly, "Black Magic."

"Black Magic." The dwarf's face turned pale. He curled up in the chair, trembling like a baby. "Black Magic again." He said bitterly. His face was both mockery and sad.

His words were exactly the same as those of the priest. "Do you know the dark magic too?"

"What do I know? I'm not talking about the humans who died at night. But..." Barold stuttered again, "Before... more than ten years ago..." about his father? He sighed, "I'll tell you sooner or later. But..." His eyes suddenly became fierce and fierce, staring at Lu Yuewu and Rosie as if he was treating the enemy. "Two ladies, forget everything I said after hearing it, and take care of your mouth from now on. Otherwise, even if Li Ou defends you, I will kill you."

Rosie was angry and wanted to leave, but Lu Yuewu grabbed her. Leo seemed to hear her say, "This is trust, not a threat." But after so many things, Leo had long trusted them like his family. He was willing to share the secret with them. "What the hell is it?" he urged.

Barode was silent for a long time and spoke slowly, "Your father died of black magic." As soon as he said, the shocking secret was heard. Li Ou opened his mouth wide, but found that he could not make any sound. "It was all because of that adventure... but do you know, what was we exploring at that time to look for?"

"What are you looking for?" Rosie asked on his behalf.

The dwarf looked directly at Leo with his turbid eyes and said in a terrifying tone:

"The Universal Medicine. The Stone of the Sage."
