Divine Flame Crystal

Chapter 492 There is no good or bad curse

“Xiaoling, you know, in the real world, cursed objects are accompanied by some rumors or even legends, which usually involve the history, cultural background and abnormal phenomena of the objects. The power of an unknown cursed object and a famous cursed object are different. The latter is more powerful. Even if the two cursed objects are made of similar materials, the latter is more powerful, or even much more powerful. This involves a certain mental power phenomenon. We can talk about this later.” Xingluo glanced at Xiaoling who was concentrating, and nodded with satisfaction.

Xiaoling has a strong understanding, which may be related to her simple mind. She says whatever she thinks and does not hide anything. Fortunately, this is the abyss and no one will hold a grudge against her because of her outspokenness. Even many abyss natives are the same and say whatever they think.

Xingluo glanced at Xiaoling who already understood and continued, "If you want to know whether this thing is a curse, you need to study its historical background and understand the origin, time and place of manufacture of the item. Many cursed items have detailed origin stories, which may be related to specific historical events or people."

Xiaoling glanced at Xingluo who was explaining seriously and nodded. Xingluo continued, "Different cultures have different views on curses and ominous objects. Understanding the beliefs and legends of the culture to which an item belongs can help identify whether the item is considered dangerous."

"Is there any better cursed object?" Xiaoling couldn't help but asked.

"Okay cursed items, your description is very special, but I know what you mean. Of course there are cursed items with similar blessing effects, such as cursing good health, cursing good luck, etc." Xingluo explained patiently.

"But it's generally rare, because this kind of thing may be due to some unknown factors that cause the curse to develop in a completely opposite direction, usually because the cursed object has been damaged, so this is not within the scope of our discussion today." Xingluo added.

After Xiaoling understood, she nodded happily and seemed to be very interested in this cursed object.

Xingluo went on to say, "Some cursed objects will have unusual characteristics, such as abnormal color changes, temperature fluctuations, or strange sounds. While these characteristics may be natural phenomena, they may be considered signs of a curse in some cultures. So be sure to pay attention to distinguish whether it is a normal phenomenon or caused by a curse, which requires you to accumulate a lot of knowledge."

Looking at Xiaoling, whose forehead was already covered with sweat, Xingluo did not intend to let Xiaoling rest, because he needed her to remember deeply, so he simply said it all at once: "If you suspect that an item is a cursed item, you can consult dark scholars, cultural relic experts, or religious scholars like me. They may be able to provide more information about the item and help you determine whether it is really cursed, so if you have any questions, just ask me directly, no need to be polite."

Xiaoling wiped the sweat from her neck and nodded weakly: "Okay, thank you."

Xingluo smiled and shook his head. "You're welcome. Camilla and I are good friends. Some people claim that they can feel the negative energy or discomfort brought by cursed objects. Although this feeling may be psychological, if you feel strong discomfort when touching an object, it may be a sign worth noting. Be sure to pay attention to this. If you feel uncomfortable, even if you can't determine whether it is a cursed object, don't touch it. It may be an extremely sophisticated cursed object, or even a cursed object that has reached the realm of no darkness."

"A realm without darkness?" Xiaoling asked curiously, tilting her head.

"Well, there is no sense of darkness and abyss at all, and not a trace of curse energy leaks out. Only when it is used, it will instantly burst out with effects far exceeding those of ordinary cursed objects." Xingluo said.

Camilla said at the side: "Your teacher Xingluo has reached the realm of no darkness. He is a very powerful dark scholar. The cursed items he made are no different from ordinary magic equipment."

After hearing this, Xiaoling looked at Xingluo with eyes full of admiration and said, "Teacher, you are so amazing."

Xingluo didn't blame Camilla for asking Xiaoling to call him teacher. It was just a title anyway, so what she called him didn't matter. Besides, he was about to leave this level of the abyss, so it was not certain whether they would meet again.

Xingluo did not continue the topic, but continued to introduce cursed objects: "Many cursed objects have their own legends or stories. Knowing these stories can also help you judge whether the items are dangerous. Be extra careful when handling items that may be cursed. Some people may choose to perform some form of purification ritual to eliminate the negative energy on the items. It should be emphasized that in most cases, the so-called cursed objects do not have real supernatural powers, but are the product of cultural traditions and human psychology. Therefore, identifying cursed objects is more of a cultural exploration and psychological experience, rather than a practical skill."

Xingluo added something at the end. After all, cursed objects cannot be everywhere on the streets. This is equivalent to magic equipment. How can people come across it casually? However, compared to magic equipment that enhances strength, cursed objects are more dangerous.

In this way, Xiaoling not only learned knowledge related to cursed objects from Xingluo, but also successfully made a cursed object of her own under Xingluo's guidance. What surprised Xingluo was that Xiaoling was born with the state of no darkness. This might be because her mind was too simple. Even when using dark elements, no curse energy overflowed.

Camilla was drooling with envy. You know, a cursed object that has reached the realm of no darkness would cost him a month or even several months of digging for dark materials.

"Yes, you are born to make cursed objects." Xingluo said speechlessly. He didn't expect that a child with such a simple mind would be best at making cursed objects. It was too ironic.

Xiaoling said happily: "There is no good or bad curse. If it is used on a bad person, then it becomes a good curse, or a blessing."

Xingluo did not answer but fell into deep thought. Xiaoling's words made sense. He had always regarded cursed objects as evil beings and even looked at the abyss with negative emotions. However, no matter whether it was a cursed object or a demon, if things eventually developed in a good direction, then how could he unilaterally deny their existence? In the past, the Holy See of Light always talked about how good they were, but they were the first to provoke a full-scale war on the continent since he was born. Therefore, to judge whether a person is good or bad, you cannot look at what he says, but look at what he does.
