Infinite Throne

  Chapter 199 "Alice's Cursed Corset" (2 in 1 meets the big chapter)

   This is the "Song of the Demon King" that Ruth once sang in the cabin!

   That legendary song that even if it is sung, may suffer bad luck!

  —Although Ruth sang, nothing happened.

   But the word "Demon King", Yi Rin has entered this trial so far, only Ruth dared to mention it, which shows what position the Demon King has in this world.

   Demon King... What kind of monster is he?

   To the apostles, all red names are strange.

   As long as there is life, there is a way to be killed.

  Although the main mission 3 has not yet emerged, Irin has a feeling that the next experience in this world must be related to the legendary "Demon King".

   Alice's ballad is finally over.

  Irin opened her mouth again when she saw Alice.

   "Whoosh" again.

  Alice seemed to have no idea what to do, and when she was about to sing again, Irene stopped Alice in time.

  Although after Ruth finished singing the song of the Demon King, the Queen did not encounter the legendary "Demon King", but Irin always remembers that this is a world with a "curse". No matter how lucky, Alice can't help but sing it over and over again.

  For the sake of safety, before getting more information about the "Demon Lord", Irin decided not to mention everything about the "Demon Lord" too much for the time being.

   And that song.

  Alice: "…"

   She was a little unsure about it.

   No one heard her sing for a long time.

   But under Irin's threatening eyes, Alice resolutely gave up this tempting idea.

   Even, everyone has the same heart, and they didn't say the name of the taboo.

  Everything is for safety.

  Alice also just sang the ballad, and there was no other express.

  If the shipwreck she suffered at the time was related to the "Demon King", she would definitely understand the horror of that Demon King.

   That is a monster that can destroy everything in an instant.

   It's no wonder that Alice was frightened into a state of convulsion when Irin's "Castle Haunted" triggered the negative state of fear.

   While the two were chatting happily with an undead, the other pirates on the Queen, after Alice stopped attacking, also found this place one after another.

  When they saw, in the thick fog, in front of the wreck, the strange scene of Yiren and the terrifying undead having a long conversation, they were all in admiration.

   On the captain's panel, all loyalty that almost fell to a negative number actually rose in unison.

  Irin silently closed the captain's panel.

   He knew the status of each crew member.

  Alice has given up the idea of ​​continuing to play tricks on the Queen's crew.

   After all, there is Irin here who is more terrifying than her.

   She didn't want to try again, the fear of being ravaged by the memories of the "Demon King".

   Besides, Alice had seen it with her own eyes, Irin was controlling the two spirits... It was so terrifying.

  Irin didn't expect that this time and again, she would become second only to the "Demon King" on a virtual fear list in the mind of the little mother spirit Alice.

  The area of ​​​​the island is vast, roughly estimated, similar to the island of Tetuga.

  Irin and the crew were not even halfway through their exploration.

   And the fog in this sea area is too thick, and it is not easy to explore.

  Under Alice's guidance, Yilin took the crew and found all the food that had fallen on the island in recent years.

   Oddly enough, these foods turned out to be stored as "canned".

  According to Ruth's understanding, these canned foods are high-end things that have become popular among the royal family in recent years. They are expensive and generally poor people can't afford them.

   In addition to canned luncheon meat, there are also many pickled canned vegetables, and even canned sea fish.

   If it doesn't matter what the consumption is, Irin can even open all these cans and hold a grand banquet on the desert island.

  Irin took advantage of others not to notice, and quietly used all kinds of cans, almost filling the rest of the storage space.

   He left only part of it to store fresh water.

  Although this time I accidentally sailed to the foggy sea, I also encountered the legendary undead. The process was very tortuous, and even scared a boat of pirates to death.

   But in any case, the ending was perfect. The Queen was replenished with enough food and fresh water. On the captain's panel, the quantity of supplies was enriched again.

The only thing that Yi Rin regrets is that the shells in the wreck, after several years of wind and rain, as well as the invasion of moist fog, the gunpowder has already been damp and deteriorated and cannot be ignited. It is a pity that the boxes of well-made shells of various calibers.

   It took a lot of time. Under the command of Ruth, all the pirates searched the entire desert island and put the supplies on the Queen in an orderly manner.

   In principle, the word "organized" is very comical when applied to pirates.

   But when every crew member of the Queen saw with their own eyes their great skeleton gentleman captain, after subduing a ghastly undead, no one dared to do anything behind Yilin's back.

joke!

   That's a captain who can't even deal with the undead!

  Who dares to make a mistake?

   Of course, Ruth is deeply attuned to the bad behavior of pirates.

  Although they seem to be obedient now, once they are hungry, they will still betray, and they will still row. Pirates have no credibility at all.

  So Ruth did not treat them badly, she took out a can of food from the supplies and distributed it, so that the rest of the crew could have a good meal.

   And what it shows is... Loyalty has risen collectively.

finally.

  Happy days are always short.

  Under the wise leadership of the captain, this deserted island has no threat of "undead", but is a paradise for pirates.

   Two days later.

   parting is imminent.

  There are many pirates who are reluctant to part with this deserted island. When boarding the ship, they could not help but shed a few sad tears in the direction of the deserted island.

  Reluctant to give up, but no one offered to stay and accompany the lonely Mother Alice.

   Every **** pirate has a clear mind, the reason why this island of the dead is so comfortable is because of their captain.

  If there is no captain to calm down, the undead may turn into a man-eating evil spirit in a blink of an eye, the kind that picks his teeth with bones after eating.

   Irin just chuckled at the thoughts of the crew, but didn't break it.

  Anyway, pirates are such a crapshoot, just get used to it.

   Before leaving.

  Alice looked at the Queen that Irin and Ruth were about to embark on, a trace of reluctance on her pale face.

   She couldn't remember for a long time. After she became an undead, how many years she was alone and how old she was on this deserted island.

   Finally met a strange person who was not afraid of her, but made her a little afraid, and Alice was a little reluctant.

Huh?

  Alice suddenly remembered what Bai Xiaoyi said that day.

   - "Don't cry, this feeling will slowly get used to it".

Um? Is this what "habituation" feels like?

  It turns out that the undead won't hate it!

  After two days of getting along, Ruth somehow felt a little bit of affection for this poor little mother spirit.

  Before leaving, Ruth gritted her teeth, glanced at Yi Rin's weird mask, and couldn't help but say, "Alice, do you want to... get on the boat with us?"

  Irin: "???"

  Alice is surprised by Ruth's invitation.

  Although this **** big sister always looked at herself with a strange look, it was the first time that someone invited her to board the boat so many years ago.

  If it wasn't for Alice being an undead, she would have lost the ability to shed tears long ago, maybe she would have been moved to tears at this moment.

  By the way, when I was ravaged by Yi Rin before, I could only do movements, and I couldn't shed tears at all.

Alice smiled: "I'm very touched, but...in fact, I'm tied to one thing...because before I died...I had cursed the world with malice, so I'm also cursed by the world, you guys Let's go, Alice is destined to stay here, never to survive."

   Ruth was startled when she heard the words: "Curse?"

  Alice nodded without explaining too much.

  Irin understood.

  If there were no restrictions on the movement space of the undead, and if they could run around the world, they would have spread all over the streets long ago.

  Ruth was also very helpless about this.

  Irin turned around and said nothing, ready to board the boat, return to the Queen, and set off again.

   Time is precious. In order to replenish the supplies, he was delayed for two days here, which should not be the case.

   also has a certain impact on subsequent plans.

   Just before Irin and Ruth were about to go to sea.

  Alice suddenly remembered something, her expression changed slightly: "Wait!"

  Irin: "?"

  Ruth: "???"

  Alice's eyes suddenly became cold and blurred. She pointed to the invisible sea in the mist and whispered, "Be careful, 'she' seems to be angry."

she? ?

  The Demon King is also a mother?

  Irin's expression instantly became subtle.

   And Ruth's expression froze for a moment, she couldn't help but ask: "She? Who is she? Could it be...?"

   She didn't say the word "Demon King", but everyone who knows it understands.

  Alice shook her head, her cold expression was quickly replaced by another kind of confusion: "Alice doesn't know, but the sea told Alice that 'she' seems very angry."

  Alice's lines became inexplicably mysterious.

   After saying this, Alice was completely silent, her translucent body was hidden in the fog, and she waved to Irin and Ruth as a farewell.

  The other crew members had already boarded the Queen, waiting eagerly for Ruth and Irin.

   "Wang Wang~"

   right now.

   A crisp bark came from the fog.

   Needless to say, it is naturally Uncle Wang Tiandi.

   Yi Rin slapped the back of his head. In the past two days, Wang Tiandi disappeared inexplicably. If he hadn't barked twice at this time, Yi Rin might have really forgotten Wang Tiandi on this island.

  The dog ran wild on the beach.

   has a cheerful expression.

  Irin and Ruth also stopped rowing the boat and waited for Wang Tiandi to get on the boat.

"Um?"

   Suddenly.

  Irin squinted slightly.

  Because the weather is gloomy, the fog is too thick, and the vision is not very good, Irin can't see the distant scenery clearly.

   But you can vaguely tell that there is something shiny in the dog's mouth.

  “???”

   And soon after the dog appeared.

  Alice, who was about to dive into the thick fog and say goodbye to Yi Rin and the others, suddenly widened her eyes and jumped out of the fog, her pale face panicked.

   "About! That's my hood—"

  Irin: "…"

  Ruth: "…"

   Hood: "?"

   in a minute.

  The boat is docked in the shallow sea.

  The dog directly taunted Alice's shyness and swam onto the boat in a skilled dog-crawling style.

  Irin nodded secretly while watching the dog's skilled movements.

   It seems that this role-playing may not necessarily give the apostles the attribute of "weak water".

   Try swimming in the sea when you have time.

After    Yilin communicated with Wang Tiandi in a friendly way, he exchanged the few remaining flesh and bones for the corset from Wang Tiandi's mouth.

  Wang Tiandi has long seen the attributes of the corset.

   It is certain that this thing has absolutely no meat and bones in the mouth.

  So after Wang Tiandi shook off the water droplets from his hair on the boat, he happily nibbled at the flesh and bones, and had no time to care about other things.

  Ruth also came over.

   With professional eyes, he looked at the corset in Irin's hands.

"Although the style of this corset is old, the workmanship is very delicate, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can have." Ruth stroked her hand a few times, and then said: "This corset is also inlaid with small pieces. If the pearls are really antiques from more than ten years ago, this is worth a lot of money!"

  Ruth finished the analysis, and the light of gold coins flashed in her eyes.

"Ha ha."

  Irin smiled.

   Ruth looked at the style.

   But in Yi Rin's eyes, he saw the essence of this corset directly through the appearance.

-"Attributes".

  【Alice's Cursed Corset】

  【Grade】Rare

  【Restrictions】Female

  【Durability】135/500

  【Effect】Charm +2.0, Luck -0.5

  【Description】Click to view the details.

   "Curse?"

   is another female-only item that adds charm and reduces luck.

   In terms of cost-effectiveness, reducing a little bit of luck value and greatly increasing the charm value, this transaction can be regarded as a **** profit no matter how you calculate it.

   However, in the description, the terrible curse made Yiren hesitate.

   He subconsciously touched the delicate earrings on the edge of his earlobe and fell into deep thought.

   looked over and over again for a while.

Yi Rin found that there was a pool of bright red blood on the corset on the chest. At first glance, the pool of blood seemed to be left from yesterday, and it was strangely fresh. If you were not careful, it might be mistaken for a bloom. The roses give people a strange beauty.

   Look at it this way.

  Irin had the urge to wear it, and imagined how perfect the figure would be after wearing it.

"Ugh-"

  The master of the corset, Alice came floating at some unknown time.

   sighed faintly.

   "This is my corset."

  Irin: "I know."

   This is crap.

Alice did not hide: "This is also the reason why Alice cannot leave this island, because before I died, I cursed someone out of resentment, but at the same time, Alice's soul was bound to this corset forever, All these years, Alice has been unable to leave."

   Ruth was puzzled when she heard the words: "In other words, the reason why you can't leave this island is all because of this... corset? Isn't that easy? Just take it away?"

  Alice shook her head, her eyes showing a hint of sadness: "Sister Ruth, think about it carefully, how many women are there who dare to set sail at the risk of being cursed in the sea today?"

   In the past two days, Alice had already seen that Irin and Ruth were not men.

   That's why, strangely, he became close friends with two human women, and they could talk about everything.

   "Wang ~ woo woo-"

at this time.

  Wang Tiandi, who was gnawing at the meat and bones, let out a low growl inexplicably.

   seems to carry a trace of indiscernible grievance.

  Irin ignored it.

  Ruth was too lazy to bird it.

  Wang Tiandi saw that the others did not react, so he could only lower his head and continue gnawing at the bones.

   Conversation continues.

   Alice continued to speak when she saw that both of them were speechless.

   "A sea full of men, or a pirate, who would be interested in a corset?"

   "Oh~~" Ruth understood.

  Irin pondered for a moment: "Maybe, there are pirates who are interested in women's corsets... There are still some, but you haven't discovered them yet."

  Ruth: "…"

  Alice: "?"

  The corner of Wang Tiandi's mouth twitched, as if he was holding back his laughter.

  Irin didn't get tangled up on such a bad topic.

  Three seconds later, Yi Rin stroked the silky corset in his hands: "The curse...what is it?"

Alice, who was floating in the air, was silent for a moment, and in a very helpless tone, she whispered: "The woman who wears this corset will never be able to be emotional to any man in her life. Miserable way to die at sea."

   Ruth's mouth instantly opened into a shape that was difficult to close: "What a terrible curse!"

  Irin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's it? That's all right."

  Ruth: "?"

  Alice: "???"

   "Anyway..." Yi Rin didn't hesitate and smiled slightly: "I'll accept this corset."

  Ruth's surprised mouth finally closed, she suddenly seemed to think of something, her face flushed, and her eyes were full of emotion: "Rin..."

After being surprised for a while, Alice looked at Yi Rin and Ruth, her eyes wandering, but after thinking about it, she seemed to think through it, nodded, and looked at the two with an envious look: "That's good. ,I wish you happiness."

  Irin was startled.

   Have you misunderstood something?

   As to why Alice was cursed and turned into an undead, Irin did not ask in detail.

  Because after Irin obtained the [Alice's Cursed Corset], Alice disappeared in front of the two with a smile of relief and kindness.

  If I hadn't known the truth, Irin might have mistakenly thought that Alice's wish was fulfilled and she became a Buddha on the spot.

  Alice, as a local undead, is different from Bai Xiaoyi and Nie Hongxiu, who have weapon enchantments, and seems to have more bizarre abilities.

   Although there will be a curse, but this curse Irin really ignores.

   The one who can't fall in love with a man is "Elizabeth Rin", what does it have to do with him, Yi Rin?

  Think about it.

  Irin looked at the silky corset with delight, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

  Before boarding the ship, Irin folded his corset.

   Wait until after the sailing and let Ruth help you get dressed.

   There is still a fog around.

   All the crew saw their great captain, the skeleton gentleman, saying goodbye to that terrifying undead like a friend, and their eyes were filled with admiration and fear.

  The undead in the legendary misty sea were so vulnerable in front of their captain.

  In the eyes of all the crew members, the image of the skeleton gentleman became more and more tall and mysterious.

   is unpredictable and does not dare to give birth to dissent.

The   Queen was refilled with all kinds of canned food and fresh water, and the crew rekindled their high spirits.

  Although everyone has resentment towards that island, as a pirate, his goal is the stars and the sea, and he is destined to wander on the sea... The words of staying on the island for vacation forever are just words.

   No pirate can stand loneliness.

   at this time.

   Loyal Charlie came licking his face.

   "Great, esteemed, invincible Lord Captain."

  Charlie spit out a bunch of tall adjectives in an instant.

   For some reason, in Charlie's mouth, Yilin's title is getting longer and more domineering.

  Others cast disdainful glances at "Loyal Charlie" in an instant.

  Charlie didn't talk nonsense, and told Yilin that there were several crew members who had not returned yet, and asked Yilin if they wanted to set sail or wait for them to board the ship.

  Irin was silent.

   He just confirmed the attributes of those people in the list provided by Charlie from the captain's panel.

  —especially the Loyalty column.

soon.

After Yi Rin confirmed it, her tone sank: "I can feel that on this island, in addition to the undead, there seem to be some other evil spirits that are about to move, and it is very possible that they encountered something on the island. "

   As soon as the words came out.

   Everyone's expressions changed drastically, and the deck instantly became dead silent.

   Suddenly someone whispered: "According to the pirate code, any pirate who falls behind is destined for life and death."

   "Life and death are destined."

   Everyone whispered softly at the same time, and soon a smile appeared on their faces.

  Irin finally decided to disembark to look for the crew members who were left behind in the eyes of everyone in shock.

  Everyone is full of admiration.

   Only Ruth thought it was a little weird.

   This guy doesn't look like such a kind person?

   However, because the voyage is imminent, the Queen has experienced artillery fire and disasters, and has long been in tatters. Before sailing, Ruth must stare at these filthy pirates and use wooden boards to repair the Queen to the point that it will not sink at sea.

and many more.

   Ruth suddenly remembered that "curse".

   If you add Alice, there are three women aboard the Queen.

   I don’t know if this time we set sail, can we ride the wind and waves and move forward?

   Or... the undead are not actually women? Only a mother spirit?

  Ruth fell into a deep tangle.

   After half a day.

   The captain of the skeleton gentleman, who made everyone awe, is still in an elegant dress that is incompatible with all pirates, and even his tuxedo has never been more wrinkled, and he returned from the island again.

  Irin brought back a piece of news that surprised everyone.

  —“They are all dead.”

   A deeper explanation is: "There are other more terrible undead on the island."

   (Alice: "???")

   In short, the deaths of these stragglers did not cause anyone to feel sad, let alone cry.

  Irin did not explain any further.

In the eyes of others, their great captain, with three points of exhaustion, three points of regret, three points of inability to save his companion's loneliness, and one point of unspeakable sadness, closed himself in the captain's cabin again. inside, completely locked, and did not take another step out of the door.

On the   Queen, all the pirates were silent for another three seconds, and they used these three seconds to give their captain a thumbs up.

   and then resumed his work.

  Irin is in the captain's cabin.

   After confirming with telekinetic perception, he removed the disguise again.

   "Ah~~"

  Duang~

   After completely breaking free from the shackles, I finally felt comfortable.

  Irin swayed a few times, hesitating whether to take the luxury of taking a clean hot bath while the fresh water resources were plentiful.

  When the fresh water was depleted, Irin would wash her body with sea water every time, and then wipe it carefully with fresh water.

   Bathing in sea water every day, Elizabeth Rin's delicate skin has a lot of wrinkles, and Ruth feels distressed every time she massages.

   "Forget it, let's do business first."

  Irin looked at the few lines of reminders in the retina that had yet to fade.

  【Get chaos value +67! 】

  【Get chaos value +56! 】

  【Get chaos value +44! 】

  【Get Chaos Value…】

finally.

   is like a long overdue surprise. After harvesting the last tiny amount of chaos, Irin has accumulated from the last trial in the world, and the chaos has finally reached a satisfactory value.

  —"50033".

  Apocalypse mount, about to reappear in the world.
