327 - Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey!
In the office of Llinos, Rico, May, and Sidi were sitting in front of him. Rinos shouted in a crazy voice at the name spoken by Rico.
"Posera Seik?"
I crane my neck at the name I've never heard before. But the expressions on the faces of Rico, May, and Sidie, who are sitting in front of me, are serious. I straighten my back and listen to their stories.
Porcella Sacrifice is a kind of witchcraft that kills people with a curse. The way of casting the spells is quite amazing. My image of curses is that of nailing nails to straw dolls in the middle of the night, or of making a fire and saying "Jukinmu jukinmu" while casting curses, but this was not such an easy thing to do. This time, however, it was not such a simple thing. A pair of men and women were naked, embracing each other and having a s*xual intercourse, which was performed for three whole days without eating or drinking, which was beyond funky and could only be called madness.
Moreover, the layout itself was also crazy. An altar was set up in front of the men and women, on which the heads of young male and female wizards were placed, and in the middle of the altar, a dragon skeleton was placed. The higher the rank of the dragon, the more effective the skeleton is, and this time, the skeleton of a black dragon was used. Incidentally, the black dragons live in the Cresso Mountains on the island of Mohalla, far south of Agartha, and are said to be the most cunning among the dragon races. It seems that the dragon used this time was a young dragon, and it is hard to imagine what would have happened if it had been an elder class dragon. A piece of paper with special magic power is attached to the skeleton and the name of the person to be cursed is written on it. Then, the skeleton is covered with the bodily fluids of a man and a woman who have had intercourse. It is said that the number of times the cursed person's s*xual desire increases to the limit in proportion to the number of times the person is cursed, and the cursed person continues to seek women without limit, eventually going insane and dying.
The reason why men and women have intercourse is that when the male climaxes, he falls into a kind of "blank" state. At that time, the man's body is said to be blank, and an evil god is said to possess it and put a curse on it. However, the man's consciousness is quickly restored. In other words, the curse works by the man repeatedly climaxing, and the more times he climaxes, the more effective the curse becomes. The more times the man climaxes, the more effective the curse becomes. The curse can even kill the man, the woman, or both. Liko's story is frightening because it has actually been done.
"So ...... Rico, where the hell was it taking place?"
"Don't be surprised. This is the capital of the Heedata Empire.
"Huh?
I screamed again, this time in a completely unexpected place. Rico and the others continue to sit there with blank expressions on their faces.
"There is still a church of the Klimiana cult in the capital. That is where the Porcella Sacrifice took place.
Rico's expression is distorted. That's right. Such a horrifying ritual was being performed in the capital where he was born and raised. To Rico, it must feel as if he has been defiled.
It is said that when the soldiers of the capital raided the church, they found it in the middle of a play. The man, pale and emaciated, kept shaking his hips, while the woman fainted and blew bubbles underneath him. The soldiers were so stunned by the scene that they could do nothing for a while.
The man managed to regain his composure and pulled them apart, and soon after he lost consciousness. The man died soon after, but the woman regained consciousness a few hours later. However, the damage to her body was so severe that she will probably never be able to return to a normal life. Despite this, we succeeded in getting her to talk to us and learned that she was just a prostitute who had been hired for an exorbitant amount of money.
From the woman's point of view, it was a simple job to have s*x with men, and she was happy to accept it because she could get enough money to live for a few years just by doing that. However, the man who appeared was tireless, and she lost consciousness several times.
"That ...... is a terrible story, isn't it?"
To my dismay, Rico continued.
"On the altar, there were spellbooks with the names of Mat and Soleil on them, in addition to the one with Linos' name on it.
"What? What does ...... mean?"
"So not only Linos was cursed, but also Mato and Soleil."
"......"
I see, that's why both of them could stay with me all through the morning, I am strangely convinced. This is May's guess, but it seems that the effect of the curse was probably halved by my warding. According to Mei's research, the curse that was placed on me, Matocal, and Soleil this time is one of the strongest ones, and if a normal person is under it, men and women will probably continue to seek each other until they die. The reason why it only took one night, and the reason why I fell asleep ...... when I ran out of energy, was because my warding had worked.
"I see,...... but how did you manage to identify the curse and its location in the past two days? How in the world did you find out?"
"That's easy. First, Sadie had an intuition that a curse had been placed, and May checked it out. It didn't take long to find Porcella Seikh, and finally Sadie identified the church in the capital.
"...... as expected. But still, Sidhi... What made you think it was the capital?"
"If you are going to cast a curse, you must not be disturbed. If the target is Linos, then we must find a place where he will not be wary ...... and that would be the capital of Agartha, the Imperial City, and my hometown of Niza. Among these places, the one that has a relationship with Klimiana is ......."
"So it's the Heedata Empire."
Sidi nodded cockily. As usual, I am impressed by his great insight.
After that, the dragon's skull was smashed into pieces, burned by the fire magic of the imperial mages, and buried deep in the ground. I dare not ask where it was buried. This case was solved quickly, partly thanks to Rico, but also thanks to the full cooperation of His Majesty. I do not feel that I owe another debt to His Majesty. Well, that's that, I must go to thank His Majesty once more.
And as for me, I was allowed to sleep with Matkal and Soleil under Rico's instruction that the curse was lifted. Rico said that I should make sure that the curse is not on me, so I immediately changed my usual rotation and will spend tonight and tomorrow night with Soleil and Matkal, respectively. As usual, I am impressed by Rico's open-mindedness, but I am sure he feels lonely at heart. I must also thank Liko for his hospitality.
If I was still in an unbearable situation, I would immediately talk to Riko about it.
With a trace of anxiety, I went to the bedroom where Soleil was waiting for me that night. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down and slowly opened the door. .......
