Chapter 110 Healing Hands Clinic

The next day, Locke followed Witch Sophia and took a carriage to the Healing Hands Clinic in another city.

The Healing Hands Clinic is located in a valley, surrounded by the mortal city of Goye.

However, this mortal city has nothing to do with the Healing Hands Clinic, as mortals cannot get close to the valley barrier where the Healing Hands Clinic is located.

Locke and Witch Sophia’s carriage passed through the barrier and entered the valley of the Healing Hands Clinic.

There were more than a dozen steep and tall Gothic-style white buildings in front of the narrow valley road. On the walls of the white buildings were some Lilith Lodge college logo badges.

There are many wizards coming and going in and out of the Healing Hands Clinic using various means of transportation.

Locke followed Witch Sophia and did not encounter any obstacles along the way. Or rather, the Potion Master badge and the Potion Master Assistant certification badge on their white wizard robes were enough to prevent them from encountering any obstacles here.

As soon as Locke entered the Tower of Healing Hand, his eyelids jumped. He saw many wizard apprentices who were cursed all over their bodies.

These wizard apprentices are all under vicious curses that cannot be broken by ordinary wizard apprentices.

Locke saw a third-class wizard apprentice helper supporting a second-class wizard apprentice who was bleeding all over his body, and looking for a bed to sleep on temporarily.

They walked tremblingly, and there was an evil power wrapped around them, which was the stench of rotting flesh and blood, the remnants of deep malicious spells from wounds.

Locke quickly recalled reading about this type of spell in a book. “Teacher, that’s the curse magic sub-category of the School of Theology… the Thousand Blades Curse? The cursed will feel as if cut open by a thousand knives. A less powerful wizard might even die instantly.”

“His wounds are entangled with a curse that cannot be easily expelled. Even if he survives for a while, it is only because the curser wants him to endure greater malice.”

Locke said: “This is also a common feature of curse magic.”

Witch Sophia nodded in agreement. “Yes, your theoretical knowledge has improved rapidly recently.”

“That’s the Thousand Blades Curse. This is the first time you’ve seen someone cursed by it.”

Locke nodded.

When he turned around, he saw a second-class wizard apprentice who was hit by another curse. His muscles were twisted all over his body and he was lying on a hospital bed. White foam was coming out of the corners of his mouth and his limbs were all stretched upwards, but they were all twisted to varying degrees. He was lying on the bed without any dignity and could only be helped by two third-class wizard apprentices, who carried him on a hospital bed and hurriedly sent him to the office of the potion master’s assistant.

At a certain moment, Locke and the second-class wizard apprentice on the stretcher made eye contact. The other party could not move his whole body, only his eyes could move. At this moment, his eyes full of despair rolled, and he looked at Locke with longing, staring at the Potion Master’s Assistant badge on Locke’s white wizard robe.

Locke was silent for a moment, then said to Witch Sophia, “That’s a paralysis curse. The victim will gradually become paralyzed over time. The insidious thing is that it’s a curse that slowly damages the victim’s nerves. By the time the symptoms become severe, most of the nerves in the body have often been destroyed.”

“I remember the special antidote was… the Worm Regeneration Potion. It can regenerate the nerves of a wizard apprentice. If taken by a healthy individual, it can increase their thinking speed for a short period of time. It’s often used to assist in actual combat.”

“Worm Regeneration Potion can speed up some spellcasting. It’s a very practical apprentice-level potion, and many potion master assistants are researching this kind of potion.”

Locke added, “Of course, the White Wizards don’t have many opportunities to fight.”

Sophia agreed, “Well, you’re quite right.”

“Thousand Edges Curse, Paralysis Curse, these curse spells are only on the first floor of this treatment center. There are more seriously ill patients on the second and third floors.”

“The Blood Curse Court…is the school that specializes in curse magic most among the psychic schools.” Witch Sophia’s eyes flashed with distaste. “Those curse casters, their only skill is destruction.”

“Cursers curse others, and we potions masters are responsible for breaking the curses. Over time, a deep hatred developed between the Blood Curse Court and our Lilith Cottage. Furthermore, for some reason, our academy’s dean interrupted the Blood Curse Court’s leader, the Blood Lord, as he was about to ascend to the second-ring wizard’s curse ritual. Thus, the Wizard War broke out.”

Witch Sophia said, “For curse casters, cursing others on the battlefield is practical experience. And for us potion casters, the process of removing curses here is also a kind of practical experience.”

Locke was slightly surprised. At first glance, he saw no less than a dozen vicious curses in this first layer, but he didn’t expect that there would be even more serious ones later.

This Healing Hands Clinic is simply a huge curse museum.

Locke observed that the wizard apprentices waiting for treatment here were not only from Lilith Hut Academy, but also many wizard apprentices from outside.

Locke also observed that there were some mortal slaves in the hall on the first floor. Because these mortal slaves had been exposed to these curses for a long time, the curses had spread to their bodies and made them very weak.

Essentially, this treatment center is not suitable for anyone below the level of a third-class wizard apprentice.

Locke then followed Witch Sophia into the Healing Hands Clinic.

They walked across the hall and up the spiral staircase.

The moment he walked up the spiral staircase, Locke’s face changed slightly. At this moment, he felt a twisted malice slowly spreading down the stairs from above.

Like the venom of a poisonous snake, like a maggot attached to the bone.

That is magic energy of the completely opposite nature to the plant magic sub-direction of the School of Life.

Locke quickly took out a bottle of bear bile antidote from the Star Ring.

A crystal-clear magic power immediately rose from his body surface, resisting the distorted magic power drifting from above.

Witch Sophia looked at him approvingly and said, “A wise move.”

“You are worthy of being my student.”

“Bear Spirit Bile Antidote can temporarily increase your resistance to curse magic. Judging from the type of potion you chose, I believe you have a solid understanding of this theoretical knowledge.”

“Those curses on the second floor can spread simply through prolonged physical contact. The curse magic of the Blood Curse Court… objectively speaking, the spell models are indeed exquisite, generally combining power, pain and torture, and the ability to spread.”

Witch Sophia added, “These are the key indicators for evaluating a new curse within the curse magic sub-field of the School of Spiritualism.”

Witch Sophia explained, “The biggest difference between curse magic and other magic is that part of its power comes from… pain. So the more pain the victim suffers, the more powerful this trick becomes.”

“Therefore, curse magic doesn’t kill the enemy directly like ordinary magic. Instead, it takes great pains to torture the enemy.”

“And we potions masters must use potions to eliminate this pain, or even completely eradicate this stupid curse. The key is to interrupt the vicious cycle of the curse.”

Locke secretly wrote down these key points taught by the first-ring alchemist.

This part of knowledge is not recorded in ordinary magic books.

It can be considered as a unique piece of knowledge.
