Chapter 452 - 236: Curse Doctor, Pure Goodness, and Utmost Evil

"You shouldn’t have come in with me."

"But I’m already here. Let’s take it one step at a time."

Aileen held Luoning’s hand tightly, protecting her behind. The desolate scene had vanished, replaced by a peaceful little town.

Elves, Half-Elves, and the Human Race lived here in peace and prosperity.

Noticing them, an elderly woman from the Human Race warmly said, "You two young ladies, are you from outside? Are you here to visit relatives or planning to settle down? If you’re settling down, I can help you find a house."

Luoning and Aileen instantly became alert, watching the elderly woman warily.

The elderly woman’s expression stiffened, and she said awkwardly, "Uh, being cautious is good, so I won’t disturb you any longer."

Saying this, the elderly woman picked up her laundry and walked to the other end of the town without further entanglement.

Luoning and Aileen exchanged glances, seeing a hint of confusion in each other’s eyes. This didn’t seem dangerous.

They looked back at the town; there were some mottled traces on the town walls, and beyond them, it remained desolate, as if some pollution had killed the land outside.

Luoning pondered for a moment and took a book from the Space Ring. The book was very new, but the text on it was ancient.

She flipped through it and said in a low voice, "Records of the Curse Doctor’s legacy are scarce, mainly because the Curse Doctor profession fell so early. It was one of the professions erased after the New God replaced the Old Gods."

"However, as long as it is an inheritance test, it focuses on inheritance rather than killing the Inheritor. So it shouldn’t be too dangerous this time, as long as we’re careful..."

Luoning paused in thought, then said softly, "Rescue will eventually come..."

Aileen was puzzled: "Why? If it’s a test, won’t passing it be enough?"

Luoning’s eyes were a bit complicated: "Why was the Curse Doctor erased? Look at these records."

Although Aileen had read it many times, when Luoning handed over the book, she still focused her attention on it.

[They ignored human cries, recklessly using their highly uncertain Magic Power, intending to save but ended up killing all living beings.]

[Some say they are messengers of plague, always bringing disease to the World.]

[But their self-perception is entirely opposite. They always believe themselves to be the greatest Healers in the world. Yes, in their view, their slaughter is also just. And in Spirit detection, their hearts... unprecedentedly pure and good.]

[The great God of Light abandoned this Profession and destroyed it. The Curse Doctor... the cursed Healer brought the most ruthless... goodness to the world.]

"Are you saying that once the so-called test is over, I’ll become like that too?" Aileen felt an inexplicable panic.

How is that different from losing oneself? That would mean she couldn’t enjoy Alena’s fruit platter or nap under the Tree of Life, or even... be thrown into prison by capitalists, waiting to grow old.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, her hands unconsciously clenching.

"It’s okay, Sister Aileen, there’s always a way. What if you can succeed where others can’t?" Luoning comforted Aileen, her eyes full of contemplation.

If the inheritance is interrupted, there will be another inheritance in the future. Why is this profession labeled as Curse Doctor?

Because it is the cursed Healer....

And this Curse cannot be lifted.

Luoning came along just to see if it could be lifted or reduced.

Just... she couldn’t see anything now. This is the Inheritance Space, the space that belongs exclusively to the Curse Doctor’s legacy. Other Professions are too strongly suppressed here.

Aileen looked at the short young girl, barely maintaining her composure: "Mm, it’s fine. I can do it. I don’t want to become something without self-awareness, and I don’t like the Curse Doctor’s philosophy."

As they talked, the Sun had already set, and night was falling.

An Elf passing by noticed their attire and kindly said, "Hurry home, children shouldn’t be out at night."

Ignoring the town’s residents, Luoning and Aileen started running. Neither of them was in a combat Profession, leaving them feeling insecure.

Curse Doctor might be a Profession, but Aileen is currently defined as SSS-level in the Healing System, which is because of Luoning’s presence; otherwise, her potential hasn’t reached the top-tier Profession’s potential.

It’s not until after this Inheritance Trial that the Curse Doctor’s truly terrifying Specialty will be revealed.

It’s a Specialty that even the Divine Capital finds unsettling, and it’s the only Specialty that all Curse Doctors inevitably awaken to.

The two of them ran into a quiet corner of a small alley, where there were still faint sounds of conversation around.

Luoning summoned her Crystal Ball from the Space Ring, and her eyes gradually turned golden.

She looked up. It was the time between day and night, and there were no Stars in the sky.

But she couldn’t wait for the Stars to appear. Her Spiritual Power at this moment propelled her Spiritual Power, creating intricate patterns on the Crystal Ball. The giant Crystal Ball emitted a light that reassured her.

As the patterns interwove, the golden glow in Luoning’s eyes slowly faded, reverting to her black pupils.

Her gaze was complex, and holding Aileen’s hand, she led her towards the center of the town under Aileen’s slightly puzzled gaze.

"What’s wrong?"

"In the Premonition, staying at someone else’s house is the right choice."
