Chapter 219: The Cursed Wheat Field


    Actually.


    The "Wilderness Survival" proposed by Sergeant Kenny essentially had two meanings.


    First, it was to take care of the neers, with the neer''s team on the first day to earn points, indeed can let the whole team to the end of the training day, can go to above good evaluation.


    Secondly, it was also Sergeant Kenny''s way of testing the squad''s line.


    Through his observation yesterday, Kenny could affirm that this Drow''s student was extraordinary. Since he was able to kill the barber in a short period of time, the team of six people working together toplete the "advanced mission" although there was a risk, but it was not impossible.


    Kenny showed up voluntarily to y up the danger by saying so.


    While giving another easy way out, it''s like seeing if the ''heart'' of this new team will falter.


    But.


    With Han Dong''s rejection of the ''wilderness survival'' proposal, the entire squad also had the same steely gaze without any objections.


    Sergeant Kenny, who was originally stern, suddenly revealed a kind of cheerful smile, and the vulture on his shoulder squeaked.


    "Haha. Captain Kemun likes little guys like you who aren''t afraid to die! If you can graduate alive, you can consider joining our Behemoth Knights.


    This is the scroll for the ''Advancement Quest'', you guys can read it first and I''lle back to the details."


    As the scroll was unfolded, the eye-catching four-character title was revealed.


    [Border Curse] - Advanced Type Investigation Case.


    <Final investigation mission in the crop area.>


    Details: due to the detection of apletely different curse and odd source of contamination in the barn than in the Stuart Grand Manor.


    Considering that events may have urred here that overstepped the management of the Great Manor, a "time reset" of the area was performed by the Clockers, revealing the horrific events that took ce in the barn.


    Two hundred years ago.


    Located in the wheat field area of the Great Manor of Stuart, there were arge number of farm servants working thend and providing an adequate food source for the manor.


    A farmer named [Murphy Victoriano] was in charge of managing everything in the wheat field area.


    Murphy himself also had a high status in the Stuart family, belonging to one of the important officials.


    Murphy was the father of two twin daughters.


    Due to his status, he did not need to marry inbreeding, and both daughters were normal human beings without any deformities.


    The daughters, who inherited their mother''s beauty genes, were tall, unique and beautiful.


    However, such beauty attracts the attention of the Great Lord, who wants to take the two girls for himself, regardless of Murphy''s status as an official.


    Murphy quarreled with the great lord over this matter.


    He even encouraged nearly a hundred farm servants who were unhappy with the Great Lords to start an uprising.


    However, such a battle force was not even worth mentioning in the eyes of the great lord, not even using the forbidden army cultivated in the castle.


    The Great Lord, who had already touched the evil domain at that time, easily enved these rebellious peasant servants in reverse.


    By the time the Great Lord rode on his steed and personally came to the wheat farm area to wee the marriage.


    But he found the farm empty, and a barn zing with fire not far away.


    At the same time the uprising failed, the farmer [Murphy Victorino] brought his entire family into the barn. As a farmer who was an important member of the Stuart family, he had naturally been exposed to some ''dirty things'' in his day-to-day life.


    Through a special form of ''cremation'', the evil spell that had been ced in the barn in advance was triggered.


    The great lord immediately ordered the town''s farm servants toe and extinguish the fire.


    While putting out the fire, the peasant servants saw arge number of distorted and angry faces in the mes.


    A few of them even looked through the barn door and saw the farmer''s family of four standing upright inside the barn, allowing the mes to burn their flesh.


    After the mes werepletely extinguished.


    Four charred carcasses were found inside the barn, which turned to ashes at the slightest touch and disappeared.


    In the following days, the farm servants who had participated in the firefighting and subsequent entry into the barn mysteriously disappeared, even in the surrounding forest area, no trace of them could be found.


    After that, some strange things happened in the "wheat field area" every day.


    For example, a scarecrow would attract crows, screams would asionally be heard in the barn area, ghosts would be seen wandering among the rice fields at night, and a little girl would be seen waving and greeting under a strange apple tree.


    So much so that the "Wheatfield District" became a strange area that even the Great Lords could not fully manage.


    When the Dark Ages came, the manor fell and a deeperyer of gloom was cast over the wheat fields.


    The farmer''s family still lives in the wheat fields.


    Requirement: End the Curse


    Difficulty:


    Reward: squad points +15 points and a small amount of resource ess.


    Note: Once you enter the Barn area there is no going back, and you cannot return to the current world until the curse is ended.


    "Curse Type. Based on the description in the notes, it appears that once we enter the Barn we are taken to a cursed world.


    The so-called Ending Curse is naturally the need to end the evil spirit that the farm owner''s family has transformed."


    Based on the quest scroll, Han Dong deduced a few simple pieces of information.


    Kenny nodded.


    "That''s right, once you enter here. You will have toplete the missionpletely before you can exit. You still have a choice, if you are willing toe with me to the field, we will leave immediately."


    "Thank you Sergeant for your kindness, we''ve still decided to head to the [Barn], but I''d like to have an impromptu team meeting before we enter, is it okay to wait a few minutes before entering?"


    "Feel free, you''re the only ones who can enter the barn area, you''ll be fine for as long as you want to dy."


    Han Dong called the squad members together for a nning discussion and warm-up activity.


    "The advancement mission is directly rted to the curse, Mia."


    "What?" Mia waspletely like a new person, casting an indifferent gaze at Han Dong.


    "You should be the only one in the squad who knows a lot about the curse. With the information and clues we''ve obtained so far, talk about your understanding of this incident, right?"


    "Hmm. For the sake of your tone of voice, I will just barely say anything.


    From what I''ve observed.


    The [Cursed Space] might have covered the entire wheat field area.


    The wheat fieldnd we''re treading on actually has a small remnant of the curse.


    The scarecrows and apple trees are all affected by the curse to some degree.


    Once you enter the barn, you will be introduced to a separate and unique world of the curse. The difficulty of trying to locate and clear out the four cursed spirits may be high, on our way here, and the chances of us being cursed will be high.


    I don''t have enough ''Nightmare Grass'' in my backpack to give each of you, I can only give a bottle of ''Curse Resistance Potion'' at most.


    Once everyone also feels any difort on a physiological level in the cursed space, we must say, even some slight itching sensation could be the effect of the curse."


    Mia was still very reliable most of the times, just a bit of a personality problem.


    When Han Dong heard this, he got up and prepared to leave, "Okay, Mia, you manufacture the potion first.


    Mr. Dempsey should also have some ways to fight the curse, you guys discuss it here first. I''ll go do another preparation."
