Chapter 112: The Responsibility of a Potion Master

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

Wizard Edwin looked at Witch Sophia with some surprise. He felt a little strange that she gave a copy of the information to her students, because in his opinion, what was the point of giving something like a blood curse to students.

However, since they were his students after all, Wizard Edwin could not say much. He just smiled and said, “It seems that you value your students very much, Sophia.”

Witch Sophia said as a matter of course, “Yes, he is very talented. I believe his intuition may be able to help us one day in the future. Besides, Hussein 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 look at the information at the same time.

Locke flipped through the information and the more he read, the more he felt that the blood curse of the Blood Curse Court was really weird.

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 the physiological sense, but a curse on the person’s entire bloodline.

That is to say, by cursing a person, all relatives of this person will be cursed and killed.

But this is only the most basic blood curse, and many blood curses have undergone changes.

The object of the curse of the mother and child giant’s corpse blood curse has changed, from a curse on bloodline to a curse on social relations.

Wizard Edwin said calmly, “Sophia, according to your information, the curse of the Mother and Child Giant Corpse Blood Curse spreads so that it can curse anyone who speaks to this first-class wizard apprentice victim within a month.”

“Even if I just communicate with him a few words, I can complete the closed loop of the curse.”

“Did I understand it wrongly?”

Sophia nodded. “Indeed. This is an improvement on the old blood curse, the Giant Corpse Blood Curse. The original logic of the Giant Corpse Blood Curse was that if someone had close physical contact with the victim within a month, the blood curse would be used to curse their social connections. Then, a chain curse would be applied to all those who had physical contact with the victim.”

“But this new curse only requires speaking, making it easier to spread. The price is that the damage of the curse has been reduced to one-third of its original value, so this first-class wizard apprentice has survived until now.”

“Otherwise, he would have died long ago.”

Wizard Edwin nodded and said, “That’s equivalent to actively degrading the blood curse. It uses this method to strengthen a certain aspect of the blood curse. It’s not very advanced, but considering he’s only a first-class wizard apprentice, it’s still exceptional.”

Sophia said, “That’s not true. This is just the blood curse of a first-class wizard apprentice, but it has increased its range and difficulty in eradicating it. Even though its lethality has been reduced to one-third of its original value, it has become even more difficult to deal with.”

“In other words, even if you and I were to seriously take action to resolve this matter, how would the academy’s higher-ups view it? I suspect they would, for the sake of reputation, prevent us, the official wizards, from taking action. Instead, they would prioritize Lilith’s Cottage’s most outstanding first-class wizard apprentices and potion master assistants to try to resolve this blood curse.”

“Although I don’t want to say this, I’m afraid that in the eyes of the academy’s top management, face is also very important.”

Wizard Edwin agreed: “That’s right, face is also very important.”

“I think we can use potions to keep him alive first. As long as we can get through a month, we can reduce the scope of the blood curse.”

As Wizard Edwin and Witch Sophia discussed, the faces 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 means that they are all now under the curse of the blood curse.

This curse is aimed at them.

Now many wizard apprentices who thought they were still healthy felt a chill on their backs. It turned out that they had been cursed by the blood curse for a long time.

The way the blood curse is triggered is that when the cursed person dies, it will immediately start to reap all the people implicated by the blood curse, and it will not stop until they are all killed or forcibly released.

This is the horror of the blood curse.

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

Although they were alive, they were no different from walking corpses at this moment.

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

He looked at the information in his hand and was secretly surprised.

This curse can be said to be the special spell of the Blood Curse Court. They are the only ones in the southeast corner who have developed the most in-depth skills in this niche area.

“It’s really an eye-opener.” Locke looked at Witch Sophia, “No wonder the teacher brought me here to see the world. A potion master’s assistant who hasn’t seen such a scene is always missing something.”

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

The bear bile antidote, originally used to counter curse magic, should have little effect on this kind of blood curse.

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

However, this blood curse continuously curses social relationships and other aspects. No matter how strong the magic resistance is, unless it is as strong as that of a formal wizard, it can only buy a short period of time.

It is useless if the root cause is not addressed.

Moreover, Locke had just seen that the nurses in the treatment center used the bear bile antidote as if it were water and poured it onto the first-class wizard apprentice patient without hesitation.

Seeing that he felt helpless for a moment, Locke did not have too many negative thoughts. After all, he had just passed the exam to become a potion master’s assistant. He did not have much experience and time to accumulate. It was normal that he could not solve the problem.

The Blood Curse Court is no pushover either.

With the help of his assistants, the first-class wizard apprentice finally signed the contract with his own hands.

As soon as the loan contract was signed, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that their lives might be saved.

“If he signs the contract, he’ll have money for treatment.” Wizard Edwin said indifferently, “Push him into the single room on the third floor. This blood curse is not suitable for staying on the second floor.”

“Sophia, have your apprentices work with my apprentices. Let’s go over there and discuss other issues. This isn’t the only difficult blood curse. Two new, even more difficult ones have appeared on the third floor.”

“Those were blood curses cast by official wizards of the Blood Curse Court. They are much more difficult to resolve than this blood curse. Let’s resolve those two blood curses first.”

“Okay.” Witch Sophia turned around and nodded to Locke, saying, “Go with the helpers. Be careful.”

“As potion masters, we can unleash our greatest strength here. While battling those cursed powers, it is also the time for us to create better potion formulas.”

Locke saluted and said, “Okay, teacher.”
