Chapter 112 The Responsibility of the Potion Master

The Witch Sophia took out two pieces of information from her astral ring, and handed one to Wizard Edwin and the other to Locke.

 Wizard Edwin glanced at Witch Sophia in surprise. He was slightly surprised that she gave a copy of the information to his students, because in his opinion, there was no point in giving a blood curse to a student.

 However, after all, he is someone else's student. Wizard Edwin couldn't say much. He just smiled and said: "It seems that you value your students very much, Sophia."

Witch Sophia said matter-of-factly: "Yes, he is very talented. I think his intuition may be able to help us one day in the future. Besides, Hassan Quinn is the next generation of the Blood Curse Court, so it is our responsibility to cultivate an outstanding next generation."

Wizard Edwin smiled and said nothing.

  Wizard Edwin and Locke began to read this information at the same time.

 Loke was flipping through this information, and the more he read, the more he felt that the blood curse in the Blood Curse Tribunal was really evil.

  First of all, the blood curse is actually a curse on a person's bloodline. In essence, it is not a curse on the person's body in a physiological sense, but a curse on the person's entire bloodline.

 That is, by cursing a person, all relatives of that person are cursed and killed.

 But this is only the most basic blood spell, and many blood spells have already undergone changes.

  The curse object of the mother-child giant corpse blood curse has changed. The curse on the blood lineage has been changed into a curse on social relations.

Wizard Edwin said calmly: "Sofia, according to your information, the curse of the Mother-Giant Corpse Blood Curse can be spread in a way that can curse everyone who has spoken to the victim of this first-class wizard apprentice within a month."

Sofia nodded. "That's true. This is an improvement from the original old blood curse, the Giant Corpse Blood Curse. The original propagation logic of the Giant Corpse Blood Curse is that if you have had close physical contact with the victim within a month, you can curse the social relationship through the blood curse, and then use a curse to chain curse all the people who have physical contact with him. Curse."

   "But this new curse only requires speaking, which reduces the difficulty of spreading. The price is that the damage of the curse is reduced to one-third of the original, so this first-class wizard apprentice can survive until now."

  "Otherwise, he would have died long ago."

Wizard Edwin nodded and said: "That is equivalent to actively degrading the blood curse, using active degradation to strengthen the ability of the blood curse in a certain direction. It is not brilliant, but considering that he is only a first-class wizard apprentice, it is still extraordinary."
 Sofia said: "That's not right. This is just a blood curse from a first-class wizard apprentice, but it has increased the spread and difficulty of eradication. Even if the lethality has been reduced to one-third of the original, it has become more difficult to deal with."

   "In other words, even if you and I take action seriously to solve this matter. But what do you want the higher-ups of the college to think? I think the higher-ups of the college will prevent us formal wizards from taking action because of face issues. Instead, they will give priority to the most outstanding first-class wizard apprentice students and potion master assistants in Lilith Cottage to try to solve this blood curse."

"Although I don't want to say this, I'm afraid that in the eyes of the college's senior management, the issue of face is also very important."

 Hitch Edwin agreed: "That's right, the issue of face is also very important." If you survive for a month, you can reduce the scope of the blood curse. "

 As Wizard Edwin and Witch Sophia discussed, the expressions of many second-class wizard apprentices and third-class wizard apprentice helpers present changed drastically, because they had all had verbal exchanges with this first-class wizard apprentice.

This is equivalent to saying that they are all now included in the curse of the blood curse.

 This curse is basically aimed at them.

Nowadays, many wizard apprentices who think they are still healthy people feel a cold feeling on their backs. It turns out that they have been cursed by the blood curse for a long time.

 The way to activate the blood curse is that when the cursed person dies, he will immediately start harvesting all the people involved in the blood curse, and will not stop until they are all killed or forcibly released.

 This is the terrible thing about the blood curse.

 Hence, although they are still alive and well now, as long as the first-class wizard apprentice patient dies suddenly, they will be hit by the blood curse immediately and die immediately.

 Although they are alive, they are not much different from walking corpses at this moment.

 On the other side, Locke saw this kind of curse for the first time.

 Looking at the information in his hand, he was secretly surprised.

 This kind of curse can be said to be the special spell of the Blood Curse Tribunal. They are the only ones in the southeast corner who have developed the most deeply in this subdivision.

   『It’s really a great insight. Locke looked at Witch Sophia, "No wonder the teacher wants to bring me to see the world." A potion master's assistant who has never seen such a scene must be missing something. 』

 Locke thought quickly in his mind about how to break this blood curse, but he denied it one by one. Ordinary antidote medicines could not break the blood curse at all.

 Hunter Spirit Bear Bile Antidote, which was originally used to deal with curse magic, should have little effect on this blood curse.

The principle of Bear Spirit Bile Antidote is to enhance the wizard's resistance to curse magic by strengthening magic resistance.

 But this kind of blood curse continues to curse social relationships and other aspects. No matter how strong the magic resistance is, unless it is as strong as a formal wizard, it will only be a short period of time.

  It is useless if the root cause is not solved.

 Furthermore, Locke had just seen that the nurses at the treatment center treated the spirit bear bile detoxification potion as if it were water and poured it on the first-class wizard apprentice patient desperately.

 Locke saw that he felt helpless for a while, but he didn't have too many negative thoughts. After all, he had just passed the exam as a potion master's assistant. He didn't have much experience or time to accumulate, so it was normal that he couldn't solve it.

 The Blood Curse Court is not a vegetarian either.

 The first-class wizard apprentice, with the help of his helpers, finally reluctantly signed the contract with his own hands.

 As soon as the loan contract was signed, everyone could not help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling that their lives might be saved.

  "If he signs the contract, he will have money for medical treatment." Wizard Edwin said indifferently: "Push him into a single room on the third floor. This kind of blood curse is not suitable for staying on the second floor."

“Sophia, let your apprentices work with my apprentices. Let’s go there to discuss other issues. This is not the only difficult blood curse. There are two new and more difficult blood curses on the third floor.”

"Those blood curses cast by the official wizards of the Blood Curse Tribunal are more difficult to solve than this blood curse. Let's solve those two blood curses first."

"That's fine." Witch Sophia turned back to Locke and nodded, and said, "Follow the helpers and pay attention to safety."
  "As potionists, we can exert our greater power here. While fighting against those cursed powers, it is also the time for us to create better potion formulas."

  Loke saluted and said: "Okay, teacher."
